Sunnie smiled gently, now feeling like he could truly relax knowing he wouldn’t be alone tonight. “Okay…” he said softly as he closed his eyes and exhaled slowly. After a while he started to feel better, more calm and alert, and he opened his eyes back up to smile up at Youji. “I feel a lot better…” he said and slowly rose from the floor. He adjusted his clothes slightly before he smiled at Youji and rubbed his arm shyly. “Um… would you like something to sleep in? I might have something you’d fit into. I have some of my ex’s clothing that’d be big enough…” he offered, a little more light returning to his eyes.

“thank you, but I am fine just in my own clothing,” Youji removed his top layer, exposing his undershirt, and his wiry muscled torso that was coved with lines of paler scars that we’re long healed. “This one will just have to hope that your couch doesn’t have any broken springs.” the smile on his face turned gently teasing, loosing none of his softness.

“Oh okay…” Sunnie nods slightly. He was shaking, his hands and body trembling as he fished around in his bag. He was still shaken up by what had just happened and he needed to calm down. “G-god I’ve never had anything like that happen to me before…” he said with a nervous laugh, and it pauses part way through as he notices a glint of Youji moving his sword. Sunnie watches as Youji re-sheaths the sword and he pauses briefly in the shuffling of his purse to do so. “That’s beautiful…” he comments softly as he slowly draws out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

He smiled as Youji bowed slightly, and Sunnie did the same to him. “Well that’s a good way to live. Not everything is solved with violence and it’s commendable to be able to see that….and you’re also one of the few people who recognize me as a boy, so thank you cutie~” Sunnie giggles and holds up his cigarettes. “Do you mind if I smoke? Want one?” He asks softly, knowing that some people weren’t the greatest fans of smoke, and he tried to respect that as best he could. “I’m Sunnie by the way…”

Youji’s head tilted from one side to the other. “Pleased to meet you, Sunnie-Dono.” Youji smiled kindly, the corners of his mouth turning up, even as his dark eyes clouded increasingly with worry. “This one has had to be perceptive. Excuse my intimate question, but, do you live near here? You seem to be in shock. The medical shock, that is. This one will not admit to being… well versed beyond first aid, but we should get you home.”

Sunnie barely even processed that Youji hadn’t actually answered his questions, and he was already on his way to lighting a cigarette. Which was increasingly difficult as he was still trembling and shaking.

“H-huh?” he asked softly and looked up at him, his freshly lit cigarette hanging from his lips. He took a quick drag and exhaled, trying to focus on his hands and at least stop them from moving. “U-um… I live on…” Sunnie slowly shifted his weight from foot to foot as he mulled over the question, which was strangely difficult for him to remember. “14th street…” he finally managed with a nod. “10th floor, apartment 1027…” He said, giving his address to a complete stranger. At least the stranger had saved his life, so he hoped that he could continue to trust him.

Youji nodded. “Yes, yes we shall need to get you home.” He gently took The young man’s arm and lead them away. “sunnie-dono, I want you to know that I promise to not harm you, now or ever. I only wish to make sure that you remain well. I know that I am a stranger to you, but thank you for extending out your good favor to me.” With soft words to keep Sunnie distracted, Youji led the way into the indicated building and into the elevator. “tenth floor you said? You’re almost home.”

when they were finally in Sunnie’s apartment, Youji had Sunnie lay on the ground, head resting on a pillow pilfered from the couch, and his feet up on the couch seat. A blanket was also wrapped tightly around him. “you only need to stay like this for a little, get everything equalized.”

Youji talking was surprisingly relaxing as they headed toward Sunnie’s apartment. His voice was soft and soothing, and Sunnie believed he had no intention to hurt him in anyway. The closer they got to his apartment the more exhausted the young mutant felt, and the more he found himself leaning against Youji for support.

Once they were finally inside of his apartment Sunni let Youji lead him and move him into whatever position he directed. And while he normally would have made playful comments to the other man, for now Sunnie remained silent, trying to relax as Youji wrapped a blanket around him. He nodded as Youji explained why he was in such and odd position, but didn’t protest. “Um…” Sunnie hadn’t felt his vulnerable or this embarrassed in a long time. “Could you… could you stay?” He asked softly, feeling a small panic rise up in him at the thought of being alone. What if that thing came to find him? Sunnie could usually defend himself, but he still didn’t understand what it was- despite Youji’s explanation- or how to deal with it if it attacked him again. Not that it would but… still, Sunnie would sleep better tonight if he’d stay…

“of course I will.” Youji said with a soft smile. “once we’re sure that you can walk with out shaking and your temperature has gone up, we can move you to your bed, and I’ll take the couch.”

Sunnie watched him for a moment, trying to take in what Youji was saying and process what that meant. And what that could have meant for him. Slowly, a reluctantly Sunnie released the other man’s hand, not noticing the missing appendage, and straightened up, turning to face him with a gentle smile.

Although Sunnie would normally be staring into a compact mirror, trying to adjust his appearance and fix his disarrayed features, he wasn’t particularly concerned at the moment.

“Um… wow…” He said softly as he tucked a wavy strand of bright red hair behind his ear. The messy bun that he’d had his hair pulled up into had all but fallen out, and he tugged the hair tie completely off so he could reapply it. “I’ve never experienced anything like that before- you know- with ghosts and stuff…” he said as he tugged his hair back into a messy bun. “Thank you for saving me… I’mm pretty sure even with the light from my phone that… spirit would have gotten me… are you a ghost hunter or something?” He asked curiously and rubbed his arm as he reached into his purse, looking for something.

“Well, that wasn’t a ghost, it was a spirit. There is a bit of a difference between the two. Ghosts embody a person, one that can’t let go of mortal life for one reason or another. Spirits embody something. Like a cat spirit, or a sandal spirit, or a lamp spirit. Sometimes these spirits are what westerners would call demons.” Youji ran the length of his sword across the opening of the saya before sheathing it in a fluid, oft practiced motion. He tucked his hands into his pockets.

“For simplicity’s sake this one says one is a demon hunter, but this one tries to leave violence as this one’s last resort.” He bowed slightly to Sunnie. “You are welcome, young sir, though there is no thanks needed.”

“RUN!”

Youji leaped forward, sword blazing in the darkness and pushing the spirit against the wall. “Go, to the end of the alley! Keep the light close to you!” He had noticed the small light show. and knew that this spirit abhorred light. Good. that would keep them safe. at least for a little. He parried another strike and made one of his own, feet skidding against the ground.

Sunnie bolted as soon as the stranger ordered. He ran until he reached the end of the alley, light shining brightly from his hand as he drew it from his bag. He half debated continuing to run, to leave that guy to fight that thing in the alley, but he wasn’t that kind of person. He turned to look back, to make sure he was alright, and now he was in a position to help. The light of the nearby street shone toward him, and he could use that if the sword wielding stranger needed it. Yeah, Sunnie was terrified, but he wasn’t about to leave his rescuer to fend for himself.

This spirit… it must have been active for a while…. Youji couldn’t help but think that to himself as he continued to skid on the ground of the alley. He’d have to look at the local police station, see if there were frequent murders around this place of either you females or males in their 20’s.

For now though, he just had to get away alive.

Abruptly he stopped skidding, the change of pace enough to nearly make Youji fall. Light, light, of course. “Can you make a light barrier? for now we need to… advance in the opposite direction.”

Sunnie nodded and moved his hands, drawing light from the street and into the alley in the form of a wall between Youji and the creature-thing. With a burst of light the wall sprang up, harmless to Youji but the creature recoiled with a shriek. “Come on!” Sunnie shouted as he ran forward, slipping off his shoes as he grabbed Youji’s hand and yanked him down the alleyway and into the street. He didn’t stop running either until they were blocks away, running past various late-night-drifters and narrowly missing a car that just had to push running through an ending yellow light. After a little bit Sunnie slowed down without releasing Youji’s hand, and he bent over slightly, trying to catch his breath. “What….the hell… was that?” he asked between breaths, glancing at Youji from over his shoulder.

Youji didn’t realize until they were several blocks away that the younger man was clutching onto his left hand while they had run. He could only hope that the panic had let the other miss his rather specific amputation, or that he didn’t know what it meant.

“That was a spirit, specifically one that was agitated by an unsolved rape in that alley. I’ll need to do some research, see what is in the case file, how far back it is… We were lucky this night. Rare that one of that breed is so powerful.”

Sunnie looked up to see his stalker round the corner and advance toward him, and he froze at the sight before him. The… thing was definitely not human, his claws were outstretched toward Sunnie in a way that the young mutant knew would be his end. His heart began to pound in his head as he panicked, and he backed as far against the wall as he could manage. “P-please, no-” was all Sunnie could manage as he frantically searched his bag. His fingers curled around his phone just as he opened his mouth to scream once the ‘thing’ drew closer, but he stopped as someone else appeared in the entrance of he alley.

He glanced at the sword and then at the man, and he briefly wondered if he was here to help this thing finish Sunnie off. Clearly he wasn’t by what he was saying, but unfortunately Sunnie’s mind was flying a mile a minute, trying to find possible escape routes or ways to defend himself should either of the new acquaintances tried to attack him. He didn’t want to go down like this, in an alley, alone. Spirit? A rape- wait- what the hell was going on?

“Then please forgive. One would rather attempt to talk you down, but this one is tired, and this one must stop you from upsetting the balance here any further.” Youji’s sword seemed to gleam as he brought it up in a defense position. “Come, I am your target.” He moved, flashing forward in several quick steps and slashing out at the spirit’s torso, using the flat of the blade to push it back and away. A turn and he was standing between the spirit and the would be victim. “When this one tells you, run, and follow closely. Please trust me, and we might get out alive.”

“O-okay.” Sunnie didn’t question the stranger and he pushed himself off the wall, ready to run when the man ordered him to. He knew he had no time to debate with this strange rescuer wielding a sword, and if he turned out to be a threat like this thing before them then at least he’d be out of the dark and into the light where he could better used his powers. He pressed a button on his phone and began to draw light from the screen as it lit up, just in case. His body was tense with fear and anticipation, and he waited for the other man’s cue to start running.

“RUN!”

Youji leaped forward, sword blazing in the darkness and pushing the spirit against the wall. “Go, to the end of the alley! Keep the light close to you!” He had noticed the small light show. and knew that this spirit abhorred light. Good. that would keep them safe. at least for a little.

Sunnie smiled brightly as he strutted down the street, a small bounce his in step as the sound of his heels clicking against the sidewalk filled the night air. The performance tonight was fantastic, and had left Sunnie feeling energetic and hyper.

He had his bright red hair pulled up into a messy bun, a loose pink shirt hung over his shoulder, a pair of tight jean crop-pants clad tightly to his thighs, and he had a blue purse slung over his shoulder to match his heels. Despite having just been dancing for a few hours and working his ass off waiting tables in between, he felt, and looked great.

He was so focused on what he was going to do later tonight, for he was too wound up to sleep just yet, that he barely noticed he was being followed. Once he did notice he tried not to panic. His pace only faltered slightly, and his grip tightened on his bag. Deciding to alter his usual course, Sunnie quickly turned down a street. Once he was around the corner he broke onto a run, and much to his dismay he could hear whoever it was following him. He darted down another alley and skidded to a halt, realizing he was at a dead end, and there was no light to defend himself with. He quickly fished around in his bag, turning to face the entry of the alley as he back up against the wall. He had to find his phone- he could use that as a light…

If there was one thing that Youji truly didn’t like about nationally celebrated holidays, no matter where they were, was that they always had this habit of offending certain classes of spirits; the ones that felt slighted as they weren’t honored on that holy day. Never mind that then that malice would bring up other malice spirits…. and that there were always spirits offended by an unsolved murder or a rape that just were in every single city.

The touch of the spirits that let him keep his youth could only do so much good on a full night.

He ste[[ed into the dead end alley way, sword out and gleaming in the low light from beyond the entrance. “Your attacker is not here, spirit. This person is not the one that committed the rape that called you here. Tell me your woes, then leave peacefully.” the spirit turned to look at Youji, claws out and ready to make the young… person’s skin match their hair.

“No.” said the spirit. “I will not be denied.”

“you shall accept them, my friend.” Youji grinned. “it’d be rude not to. And…” he shuffled his feet slightly, trying not to betray nervousness. “I would really like you to have them.”

Cam watched him and smiled slightly. “You’re very sweet Youji…” His smile widens and he walks up to him to hug tightly.

The hug startled Youji a little, but he managed to return it. “Thank you, but it’s… not a trouble. I… I’m not that sweet.”

“Well it was certainly a pleasant surprise, you didn’t have to do that…” Cam said warmly and flopped back into the couch he’d been curled up on.

He bit his lip, thinking about how much it’d cost to go to Japan on top of purchasing the Kimono. “Gosh, I don’t have that kinda money, but I’ll definitely save up to go! I’d love to get one someday.” Cam nodded.

Youji’s soft, gentle laughter could be heard through the receiver, though it sounded like he had been trying to stifle it. “Cameron, if we ended up needing to go to Japan, this one would pay for your tickets there and back. One knows it wasn’t part of your planned expenses. Please, do not worry about it.”

Cam blushed and shook his head. He paused, realizing Youji couldn’t see him and blushed a bit darker. “I-I couldn’t let you do that! That’s expensive…” Cam said bashfully and rubbed the back of his neck. He paused, thinking for a moment about how much he liked the sound of his laughter. It was pleasant, and made Cam smile to himself.

“Cameron, I travel all the time. I travel to Japan multiple times in a year.” Once again, the smile in his voice was easily audible. “It will not be a hardship for me. and company would be most welcome, if it comes to it.”

Cam paused and chewed on his lip. “…alright, I’d like that…” he said with a nod and a bright smile. Once again he remembered Youji couldn’t see him and he rolled his eyes at his own stupidity. “So… um… when do I get to see you again?” he asked, his voice becoming bashful once again.

Cam looked down at the hand, up at Youji, and down to his hand again. Well, there was something they had in common. Pasts that haunted them.

Slowly Cam’s hand slid across the table toward Youji’s, and he made sure to keep it slow so that Youji could pull away if he wanted. He moved until their fingers were touching and he looked up at Youji with a gentle smile.

“thank you… for sharing that…” he said softly. He meant it as a simple gesture, to say he understood, or just to be a small comfort.

When their fingers touched, Youji turned his hand over to lightly hold Cameron’s, trying to ignore the slight shake in his own hand. “As I said, reciprocation. You, of your own violation, revealed much more than you intended to. It was only right that I return with information that I am always uncomfortable revealing…. Sometimes I can still only taste blood and ash….”

Cam smiled and gently squeezed his hand. “Thank you…” he repeated, and his thumb gently brushed over his hand. He desperately wanted to ask Youji more, but he figured that they had definitely said more then enough for their first meeting.

“I’m sorry…I..I’d like to ask what happened but, I know that’s a little personal for a first date huh?” Cam asked and smiled slightly, knowing those weren’t the proper words for what Youji had said, and apologizing the awkward situation he managed to create by spilling his guts. “I um… I understand if knowing that I’m a part of the Brotherhood bothers you. It happens a lot, so I can leave…” he added, just to clear the air in case Youji was just being too polite to say anything just yet.

Youji squeezed back. “It was a trouble, but one I would gladly do again.”

He grinned, it was the practiced look, flawless with how it was placed. And undoubtedly would end up being true as the night continued. “No, you are not leaving, and i am not asking you to leave. You are not the brotherhood. While I will not trust anyone else from the brotherhood, I will trust you. Because you are Cameron. Now, let us finish this meal before the food gets cold.”

After they had finished eating and placed the dishes in his sink to wash later, Youji led Cameron to the couch. “This one has nexflix. please, feel free to pick what you might like to watch.”

”..Alright…” Cam smiled slightly as he settled back to finish his food. This was the first time he hadn’t been kicked out for being a mutant, at least with someone he’d just met. Let alone telling someone he was a part of the Brotherhood. He was happy, more shocked than anything really, but he couldn’t help the warm feeling that spread through him as Youji explained that he trusted him.

Once they were done and Youji led him to the couch, Cam plopped down onto it and looked up at Youji, waiting for him to join him. “Ummm….” Cam’s gaze drifted to the ceiling as he mentally sifted through the movies he could remember on Netflix. “Hmmm… have you seen Ghostbusters?” Cam asked, his gaze returning to Youji.

“Long enough ago that this ons has quite forgotten it.” Youji got comfortable next to Cameron, picking up the remote and arranging for the netflix to start playing the movie. He sat close to Cameron, pulling him gently closer.

Cam smiled, glad to watch the classic after such a long time. He hadn’t seen in in years so he couldn’t remember much either. He smiled to himself as he felt Youji pulling him closer, and he easily accepted the gesture. He slid up to Youji and snuggled against him, resting his head on the older man’s shoulder as he turned to look at he TV.

Youji leaned his head slightly, so his head rested gently on Cameron’s. He would confess that he paid more attention to cameron than to the movie, watching the other just out of the corner of his eyes.

Sadly, the movie cam to an end, and, with it, the end of Cameron’s visit. Youji sighed gently. “well… I greatly enjoyed tonight, that I did. this one hopes that you did as well, cameron.”
