I woke up and looked at the clock.
Koba:"Twelve thirty...PM?"
Fuck, I have overslept, I flopped back onto my bed. I was not in the mood for talking to anybody. Especially after last night's total shitstorm. I wanted to explore the city though, but I don't want to bump into anybody. I had an idea, I opened the window and leapt down onto the fire escape. I made my way down, in order to asses the locations of everyone else, I decided to use Zanina's scent trick. I felt a strange prickling sensation as I changed forms. As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see colored blobs roaming on the roof above. The blobs then began to take shape, Moku was shooting baskets on the terrace court as Zanina observed from a lounge chair.I walked out of the alley and out onto the sidewalk.
*POMF!*
It was Kira, I bumped into her.
Koba:" Owwwww...."
Kira:"Oh, sorry, I didn't see you there!"
Koba:"Hey Kira"
[Switching to Kira]
After bumping into Koba, I noticed that he was in his beast form. I was taken aback for I did not see him this way before. I have to admit, he may be a bit weird but he looked handsome. But I knew that he was not into that sort of thing, he seems to actively avoid it in fact.But gwarsh, he was killing it in that coat he always wears.Oh no, I'm getting a bit lost... He picked up his bag.
Koba:"Good day Kira"
He ran off...
I entered the front doors of the KHC, then headed upstairs. Moku was at the basketball court shooting three-pointers. Zanina was watching Moku intently.
[Switching to Moku]
Kira:" Hey Moku!"
I looked off-court, Kira was there with a paper drink carrier.
(Ten refreshing minutes later...)
It was past 1:00 PM already and Koba's still not awake and skulking around like he usually does. I felt a sting of guilt, I wanted to apologize. I headed down to his place and knocked on his door.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Moku:" Koba? I'm sorry about last night"
There was a dead silence.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*
Moku:"Hello? Can you even hear me?"
Zanina and Joe came rushing over with Kira tagging along.
Moku:"What the-!?"
Joe whipped out the master key and unlocked the door. In there, it was dark and quiet, way too quiet. I then felt a breeze come in through an open window.
Zanina:" Shit"
Kira:" If only I knew that you would be looking for him sooner. I would have told you so that
you'd not have to find out like this."
Zanina:" Who has seen him last?"
Kira:" I last saw him out on the street in Beast Form, it was about 12:35."
Zanina began to sniff, he soon ran and jumped out of the open window.
[Switching to Kira]
Moku had a look of shock on her face.
Moku:" I was actually going to apologize for last night..."
Kira:"Last night? "
Kira:" I brought you some milk tea."
She spilled the beans, I could not believe what I was hearing.
Kira:" You know how sensitive he is! You're lucky he was able to keep it together, you saw
what happened back-"
Moku:" At the marketplace! I know, I know!"
Moku:" And what makes you think that I could have made him crack like that?"
Kira:" Just think of it, whenever it happens, he is either getting yelled at, or was in a
traumatic scenario."
Moku:"Dammit, good point."
Kira:"What did he do after what happened last night?"
Moku:"I don't know, I was ... storming to my room at that point"
Kira:"Why were you storming?"
Moku:"..."
[Switching to Zanina]
I followed the scent trail to an alley in which it stopped cold. A black bookbag was on the ground, it was Koba's. I sniffed it...
Zanina:"Interesting..."
[Switching to Moku]
I was sick with guilt, I looked around his room and to his desk. Something above it caught my eye.
Moku:"Hey, look what I found."
The sketches featured Kira and I, and just about everyone I know he met. But a certain cluster of drawings were more questionable.They all featured boxes, melting clocks, and this drawing…
Moku:”Ooooh god that’s freaky!”
The drawing depicted Jack in perfect detail. This means that Koba has either knows of him or has actually seen him.
Kira:”What’s so freaky about that drawing of a boy?”
I told her about that horrible dream involving the building, she looked disturbed.
Kira:" This is the ghost boy you were talking about ? From that nightmare? Damn, that's a creepy coincidence."
Zanina came rushing back in.
Zanina:" He is nowhere to be found, let's hope he is still alive."
