[Til the End]

"We have the same goal, so if no one minds, that would be preferable," Til said, bowing slightly.

It was, of course, that moment that the shade of his host made itself known to him. Attached to Leo, he was silently giggling, tail curlicuing back and forth madly. Was this a reality only he could see or were these just strong memories of a happier time?

Either way, his chest ached as if it were compressed by a thousand pound weight, ears flat to his head from the stress.

"Fine! Whatever, we'll all skip off into the sunset, if you like, but so long as we get a hold of that man before we go up in a fiery ball of death and doom, got it?!" Nero snarled, stomping off in the direction that Leo indicated. Why did they have to dither so much?

That was, apparently, the downside of working in a group. Everything took longer than he would like.

Leo chuckled at the sudden out burst of the young male. He kept on walking. This long walk was going to seem even longer.

Cancer fallowed. Hopeless was so close.

[Til the End]

As they walked, Til found himself at the back of the group, watching as the shade of his host flitted from one person to the next, attaching to one person with a loving embrace before skipping off to the next one. It, understandably, lingered around Leo the most.

Ears flat to his head, Til chewed on the inside of his bottom lip, unable to look away.

Nero strode imperiously towards Hopeless, not looking back or to either side at his companions. If they dithered anymore, then they would be left behind and that was that. Their father, Kokoro, would be very unhappy if he found that they were out of class and even less pleased that they were after that man's fat head.

However, Nero knew that they couldn't be happy as a family until all obstacles were eliminated and that meant Yugure had to go - permanently.
