keeping an eye out for him, having been able to calm down a little now.

arrives on land by helicopter, hopping outnwit

*out with his troops and immediatly going to look for him.

waiting for him this time, putting on a brave face.

spots him, dashing towards him and pulling him into a tight hug.

falters at the sudden hug, but doesn't pull away. "Y-Yao..."

starting to cry again, and it's quite obvious. "Thank the Gods you're alright..."

shaking a little still, the fact that Yao's crying not helping. "Y-Yao...." he rests a hand on his back, trying to be comforting despite.

just hugs him tight, kissing his forehead once. "I'm sorry... I was just worried to death, aru..."

closes his eyes with the kiss, trying not to cry as well. "I-it's okay...."

smiles a little, wiping his tears and opting to just hold him close. "Everything will be alright, aru. I promise."

lets himself cling to Yao a little. "I-it... i-it's so close to getting worse..."

nods, running one hand through the other's haor soothingly, as he did when Kikubwas younger. "I know. The only thing we can do is hope,_

pray, and stay strong, aru. I will stay with you, no matter what happens."

*hair

like he's gone back to those times with Yao here, though he's trying to calm himself down. "Y-you need to stay safe..."

shakes his head. "I'm not leaving until everything I can do has been done, and until you are alright and safe, aru. Understand?"

pulls back a little, rubbing at his face with his sleeve. "T-thank you... b-but please, stay safe yourself..."

takes his hand, giving it a light squeeze. "I will, i'll be staying with my army, aru. Don't worry about me, worry for yourself."

squeezes back, nodding a little. "I-I'll....be f-fine...."

nods. "I know you will, aru. For now, i'll stay with you though. Is that alright, aru?"

hesitates, but nods. "Y-yes, I would appreciate you w-would...." he answers quietly.

him a reassuring smile. "Alright. Is there anything you need, aru? Anywhere you want to go?"

rubs his cheek a little. "I-I'm not.. sure... there is always search and rescue, a-and scientists are doing their best to keep the

plants under control..."

nods... "We could survey the damage... if you want to, aru. I know it hurts..."

hesitantly nods. He could feel the damage in his own body, but he knew Yao did not know the extent of it.

his hand another squeeze. "Come. My helicopter will take us, aru."

"Y-yeah.." he gives a couple orders to the rest of the troops around, instructing a SAR before following Yao.

helpless not being able to help Kiku himself more... he disperses a group of land troops to assist Kiku's before helping him into the_

aircraft.

thanks him, stepping into the helicopter. He appreciates any help he can get.

holds his hand tight, the other gripping the handlebar of the helicopter as he nods to his pilot to take off.

shifts in his seat, gripping Yao's hand as well. It was in the quieter moments he could really feel the damage to his body, though he

did his best not to show it.

looks down, feeling a pain in his heart as he looks at the destruction. This was almost too much for him to handle... and he knew how much_

Kiku must be hurting physically.

(( www.abc.net.au/news/even... in case you hadn't seen this))

looks out across the land bleakly, forcing back the tears that sprang to his eyes. He couldn't believe it, he had had so many precautions

against disasters like this, and still it had ended this bad...

((I actually have it open in my tabs rn ;)

*;; ))

swallowing them down too... this may not be his land, but it's that of a nation he loves. Sometimes precautions aren't enough...

(( y-yeah ;; ))takes shaky breaths, staring across the view. Whole cities underwater still, thousands of people missing....He can't even

imagine the nuclear plants blowing.. he still had scars from the last nuclear disasters...

praying for that not to happen. Under his breath, he mutters "This is impossible...", in complete shock.

too, his scientists were doing their best not to let it happen, but Kiku's stomach was tied in a knot in dread. He nods weakly. "I-it hasn't

happened this bad for 1000 years..."

nods. "I know. I just... can't believe this, aru..." Unconsciously, his grip on the other's hand loosens a bit.

Yao's grip slipping, pulling his hand back to cross his arms across his stomach.

turns to him, frowning. Seeing him in such pain... it's causing him pain too. "That's enough, I think. Let's go home, aru."

notices Yao's expression, trying to sit up a little straighter. "P-perhaps, yes...."

kneels in front of him. "You don't have to hide, aru. You have every right to feel pain, and you need to rest, aru. We'll go and meet_

Yong Soo. Alright?"

doesn't look him in the eye, but nods. He hated feeling weak like this. "O-okay..."

frowns. He feels helpless... but he turns to the pilot and asks him to turn around. For now, all he can do is sit near him and look outside.

much the same, though he's been doing all he can since it happened. He sits quietly, wishing he hadn't have had to be this way.

(( wanna make the new plurk? ouo ))

((you can go for it))
