Nanari gave a small weak smile, "Tis fine. Im not going up because its Aura... Im going because I want to help a friend..." In truth, Nanari didn't even remember that Aura was a place she always wanted to visit. She was so caught up in making sure Kaku was okay and thoughts of other things that anything else left her mind... And it was true that she was only going to make sure Kaku was okay, she wanted to help through it all, watching what happened and everything... Nanari looked up in surprise when Kaku mentioned Ruru, one of the people on her mind, but also one she was going to address once Kaku was better. But she didn't get chance to announce her thoughts before the ship lurched, and Nanari was knocked just as Kaku was, so was unable to stop him from knocking into the side. Rolling her eyes at Neko's accident, she chuckled slightly when Kaku spoke once more before sighing, mind reminded of what he was going to talk about before it happened. "I would love to hear about him... But I will do so once I know your not going to cough to death from lack of breath... But yeah, he's my brother..." Nanari always wondered what she would say if she ever found him... Had come up with countless scenarios for it... But seeing him, even if they didn't speak, it scared Nanari, he probably didn't even know he had a sister, and she would just suddenly drop that fact into his life... "It's funny, when he first disappeared from me, I hated him, believing he just abandoned me with a couple of people... But when I grew up... I discovered that he went to the ones I consider my parents and begged them to adopt me, because he knew he was about to die, I was only eight at the time. He mixed himself with bad crowds when we lived on the streets, always to provide for me, he cared not for himself...." Nanari let a few tears out, she could remember everything like it was just yesterday, and it hurt to talk about it, the only others to know being her parents to a slight degree and Mrs Honning as she had an attack round hers and felt as if she had to explain... But here, here it was her own choice, but it didn't make it hurt any less. "Even when we were younger... Abusive home, another sibling... Ruru took all the beatings for us, we had no idea at the time of course... Sister was killed, and I was taken and abused, returned home... I witnessed Ruru finally break, he killed both the woman and the man who we were born to, alongside our uncle... But it was all to protect me, to give me a better life then one that promised abuse, and he did as promised... He gave me a better life, even if that meant he wasn't in it... Sorry to just throw that at you as well, but I thought you had a right to know that Ruru does nothing but protect those he cares for, and if he ever made you any promises, you can count on him keeping them, I can feel it true in my heart when I say that wasn't lost about him."

Kakushin listened to the story, wanting even more desperately to find Rurushu now. He just wanted to see the Demon one last time, instead of sitting here dreading that their last meeting had already gone passed. He wanted to tell Rurushu that he was grateful, and sorry, for doubting him like he had and everything after that. Even if it had been in a previous life, nothing had been different for Ru, and that wasn't fair. He shouldn't have to sacrifice himself twice in two lifetimes, no one should have to suffer wasting their precious life like that. The Angel's eyes dropped at the idea of promises. Ru promised never to hurt Kaku, or never let himself die unless it was the final option. Thinking now, the Demon hadn't broken any promise, but the fact that the latter one was currently running its course, made Kakushin return to the idea of losing Rurushu.
Kaku tried to smile, a laugh turning into an aggressive cough, "H-he... hasn't c-changed." Kaku stated, hearing a huff from Neko as the cat was probably ease-dropping.
Thinking of something else he had to say, Kaku looked to Nanari with his slowly dying stare. "H-hey... Nanari, t-the fact that... Rurushu was y-your brother... I knew it since, s-since the time Neko and I h-helped with Mavie... I-I didn't s-s-say anything.. because didn't think, it was m-my place.. to say, at the time... p-please forgive me." Kakushin's throat was caught after speaking, throwing him into a fit of trying to breath. Luckily, they were passing the golden clouds that bordered Aura. Kaku could already feel the warmth of his homeland surround him, and it helped to calm his breathing down, almost as if the very air was soothing.

Chester felt a weight be lifted off her shoulders, it was nice to able to talk about Ru to someone, and not just because she felt like she owed the other... And with it being with someone who knew Ru in his second life was even better, considering they knew who he was now. Smiling, Nanari chuckled slightly before rubbing a hand down Kaku's back to help with the coughing. She was glad Ru hadn't changed, he really was an amazing brother in his human life, so knowing he was the same in this one made Nanari happy. "Im glad. Though I wish he wasn't as... Stubborn when it came to keeping promises, it lands him in all kinds of trouble.." She knew, well could feel it anyway, that it wasn't the best thing to say, considering the promise he made to her killed him... But she felt as if he had a right to know these things. Ruru had always been secretive around her even at that age, so she guessed he held many secrets this time, including the extent he goes to make sure promises are kept. Looking up to Kaku in surprise, Nanari didn't know what to make of the information, she knew it must have been Mrs Honning to tell him, and did so believing it to be of help, so she couldn't hate her... But with Kaku, she guessed she was a little hurt that he never told her he knew, especially considering he must have know Ru before meeting her. "I admit im upset you didn't tell me... But I will forgive you." Nanari took a few moments to admire passing through the clouds, knowing this would be her first glance at Aura, but she wouldn't stay occupied for long in that respect, as she still had a friend who needed the help. "Will someone come to our aid now we have entered, or will we need to carry him? As I can feel my magic wearing off..." |

Kakushin was expecting a lot more from Nanari, but he supposed being in such a poor condition right now gave him rights to forgiveness. It was true though. Sure, Kaku knew Rurushu when he'd heard. But people reacted differently when learning of siblings still living as a different race. Kakushin didn't know if Rurushu would react well or not, and the same went for Nanari. So he'd kept quiet about it, assuming fate would chose rather than the Angel's meddling. Kaku lifted his lips to an almost smile, before his eyes turned to look around Aura as they entered. Everything was pretty quiet, but Angels were almost never active at night. There were the few flying around doing jobs, but other than that the city they passed into was dead. Kakushin pondered on Nanari's question. During the night like this, he doubted anyone would have noticed the ship's entrance. No, to get help they'd need to go somewhere, and Kaku knew who would probably be awake right now. "N-neko.. head to... t-the castle."
The cat was silent for a moment, before Kakushin could hear a sigh. "This should be fun." The ship turned gently, until it was making a straight line for Shiro. Neko made a good point, subtle as it was put. But Kaku wanted to go straight to Shiro for the reason that his teacher would probably still be up at this point patrolling the castle.
It was after speaking that Kakushin was beginning to feel what Nanari had warned of. The pain killing magic was indeed wearing off, Kaku could feel something crunch after each breath. The grinding inside was an inexcusable pain, and made Kaku's chest fill up with blood again. Choking on that caused even more pain, only stopping when the Angel passed out a few minutes before Neko brought them to the front of Shiro. It was probably a good thing Kaku didn't feel or hear anything, as it meant he could be carried painlessly, and no doubt if Hane was the one carrying him, there would be no regard to being careful.
