He shouldn't have separated from Sparks. That was a bad idea, practically speaking. Safety in numbers and all, especially with the much larger population of Heroes in stasis here.

Or, he supposed, currently out of stasis.

This was wrong, all wrong. Reno's stomach churned as he ran through the hallways, dodging strangers -- the cursed and the fleeing alike -- searching desperately. He had to find Kyo. Even if there was little to no hope of Kyo being okay, he had to... He still had to see. He had to know.

And then there was Cloud. Reno cursed as he ran. When had simple sex turned into feelings? When had feelings turned into more? Kyo, Cloud, Sheena... whoever else showed up... they didn't even know him here. Reno didn't owe them anything.

Why did it have to hurt so much?

A flash of orange caught his attention and he stopped. Bright hair fell into the figure's face, familiar; a thin body that was lithe but strong; just a boy. Just a boy that Reno had come to know inside and out, just hair that Reno knew was soft as cat's fur, just a body that Reno knew every inch of. And it was not supposed to be blue.

"No..." Reno murmured. Even knowing the odds, it killed him to see it. His heart felt like it had shattered.

He didn't move as the creature shambled toward him, dead eyes of red-violet staring ahead without emotion. "Kyo, it's me," Reno pleaded, hoping for some exception, some miracle. "Fuck, please, tell me you know me!"

He knew that he shouldn't be here. He knew he should just go home already and try to..well there was no running and hiding. Yuki had already nearly tripped over Miss Honda and even if something told him this wasn't real, it didn't stop him from being very upset.

Kyo hadn't been far from Miss Honda and he'd nearly gotten sick more than once at being in this horrible place. His Amethyst eyes were searching for an exit, and that's when he heard a familiar voice. Reno.

Maybe the man knew where the exit was, so Yuki turned and nearly collided with a dark haired..man. Luckily he got away and continued to run. The man who knew the Sohma family secret was advancing towards something gruesome, but Yuki had to try and get through to the other.

"Reno!"

The Turk didn't step any further away from the spectre of Kyo, only slowly turned his head to look at Yuki as if in a daze. His eyes were pained and confused.

"Yuki...?" he murmured, as if he wasn't sure. As if he didn't know why he should be stopped. Because... because it was Kyo, and he had to help Kyo. He had to at least try. What kind of asshole lover would he be if he didn't? It didn't even occur to him that it "didn't matter" here, that this Kyo wasn't his Kyo, that whatever he did would not be recognized by that Kyo.

Because it was still Kyo -- whom he loved. And as inconvenient as it was, he couldn't turn it off.

"But... but we have to -- " All the while, Kyo lumbered closer, close enough to interrupt Reno's protest with a jagged slash to the Turk's chest. Reno cried out in pain and lurched back, instinctively covering the wound -- but Yuki could see, through the smoking tear in Reno's clothing, straight through to his skin. Straight through to the tattoo over his heart of a cat and a dog, heads bowed in a heart.
