"Dad...hey dad wait up would you," Kaoru shouted as he trailed along after his father in quick jog. He had left his hat at home, and was just carrying an umbrella for his father to take with him. "Dad, come on now! The report said Rain and you know you'll get a cold if you don't at least keep the rain off your head."
"Kaoru I told you, I don't need an umbrella, now please go home. It's late and you know how dangerous this part of town is." Daisuki told his son. Kaoru just grinned and laughed.
"Dangerous? Please, I laugh in the face of danger, I thrill to the excitment of the hunt I..."
"Would be shitting your pants if you were looking down a Glock .45. Now go home!" Daisuki told him, turned him around and gave him a loving smack across the ass like when he was five and tried to follow him to work.
"But..." Kaoru looked at him relucantly and sighed, "Fine...alright I'll go."
I'll stand here till you get around that corner," Daisuki said crossing his arms. Kaoru frowned, stuck out his tongue and reluctantly headed back for the house. He glanced over his shoulder for a moment to see if his father was still watching. The old man was. Annoyed Kaoru kicked a stone. He wasn't a baby, he could take care of himself.
Walking towards the house he paused for a moment to think. Who did his father think he was anyway? He could have just taken the damn umbrella and left it at that. But nooo, not his father. Kaoru crossed his arms and thought a moment, if he went back now he could still catch up, but first he wanted to see if the old man was still there.
Hooking the umbrella on his arm, he jumped up grabbing the lowest branch of one tree and climbed up to jump to a roof and looked annoyed. Damn I can't see him. Well up a bit more then. He lept to the next tree near him, then onto another roof and peered out. Still unable to see his father (curse the Nagase's for having out their laundrey -though he was glad to see the daughter's new green bra)-Kaoru slid down the roof some and hopped at the tree next to the house.
Only there was no tree, there was a hole. A very big hole. A very big dark hole that swallowed him up. And he screamed, he screamed so loud he was sure that the US could hear him. He tried to reach out, clawing at the air for something, anything, a root, a twig -hell he would take a falling piano at the moment -to stop his plunge into the darkness. Falling for what seemed like a long time, Kaoru wondered if he was going to hit the bottom or if, in fact, he was going to just keep falling and wind up in molten lava. It wasn't a pleasent thought, and he started to think of happier things. Like the time his father taught him to ride a bike.
Then he started to wonder if his father would miss him? Who would take care of him? Then he thought of his dad looking for him and grew worried and resolved to some how come back as a ghost that he dad could see or be reborn as a noble husky or German shepherd to take care of him. He was settling on the breed and size of dog, a mix he figured, when he hit something soft.
Suprised Kaoru blinked and opened his eyes and peered up at what he thought was sky, but, when focused, he realized that it wasn't. Shapes of leaves and green moss were all around him and he slowly sat up rubbing his back. Looking around he found his hands touching soft moss covering hard bark and realized he was in a tree. But the branch was huge, wider then any tree he knew of in Hirosaka.
"Oh great," he muttered, "I'm in the land of Zo, or something." Standing up slowly he glanced around and then noticed a clear path and started to walk down it till he saw, what appeared to be a familar face, well one he'd seen at Yori's house in a photo. Raising his hand up he shouted.
"Hey! Hey Izumi! Kurosawa Izumi! I am right right?" he ran up to him, and slowed when he came up near the younger man. "You're Yori's younger brother right? Pleased to meet you, I'm Sakamoto Kaoru...um...do you know where the fuck we are? And do you happen to have a cellphone, I left mine at the house. Of course I didn't plan on having it land up in weird tree land when I left the house in the first place."
