running by as part of his training.

Sits up quickly and waves to him. "Hey Basil!"

Stops and sees him and smiles, waving. He runs up to him,panting. "Hello Irie-dono. How art thou today?"

Frowned a bit. "Kind of confused." Sighed. "How about you?"

still panting. "A bit tired from training, but otherwise great." He sits down next to him. "What art thou confused about?"

He looked down at his lap. "Well...Last night I was talking to Spanner....and something clicked in my mind and made me feel like something

missing from me. But I don't know what."

tell you what's missing! "don't leave things in my apartment. It will end in the trash..." He's holding the bunny doll he won yesterday.

scowls looking annoyed.

Blinked confused. "...Pardon? Do you need something, Mister?" Looked up at Byakuran.

waves the rabbit around. "i guess you don't want this then. Okay I'll just throw it away..."

Scooted closer to Basil scaredly, whispering to him. "I think he's an escaped mental patient.."

"Ah, no he..." He looks at Byakuran. He doesn't know what to say to him.

Tilted his head a bit and looked back up at the albino.

stares and throws the rabbit in the trash. "if you don't want it just say so. I wouldn't waste my money playing that game..."

Well I don't know who you think I'd want it. Why don't you give it to your girlfriend, maybe?

stiffens. That probably wasn't the best thing to say.

what game is this but he'll play along. "don't have one. Don't need one."

"Byakuran-san...I do not think he is playing..."

"It's alright...I don't have one either. No one would ever think of falling for someone like me." Laughs a bit.

studies Irie's face. "Great to hear."

Frowned. "That's not a great thing! I'm still a virgin at 25..." Sighed ashamed.

"O-oh but I doubt you wanna here that." Chuckled nervously.

smirks. Might as well play with the confused irie. He sends a picture through text to his phone. The same picture they took in the boat ride

Blinked confused and looked at his caller ID. "Who's...Byakuran?"

[Text ID -whatever- o-e]

shrugs. "Who knows.... it's rude not to open someone's message."

seeing the ID, then glances at Byakuran...

*sees

"Y-yeah but..." Shrugged and opened the message any way. Stared at the picture for a bit and studied it.

gapes, seeing the picture.

why he's not freaking out. Damn there goes his fun.

Chuckled. "Looks like this person had a lot of fun in photoshop. Not like I'd ever let an edited picture of me get me mad."

(I knew it! lol)

sighs in relief. Whether it's real or not, Shoichi doesn't believe it.

raises an eyebrow. "Sure..photoshop." He scowls, annoyed he lost a friend. "Later...."

"I really should call this person and see who he is though." Clicked the call button.

his phone on mute. He ignores the call.

Pouted. "He didn't answer." Shrugged and puts his phone back in his pocket. [Shoichi still has the same picture in his pocket.]

looks away mumbling. "He doesn't want to answer that's why." [what about it...?]

Frowned. "Oh...Guess he doesn't find me important then." [If he seen that maybe he'd freak out.]

frowns, staring at Byakuran walking away. "Guess not..." he says quietly.

Shrugged. "Wonder how I have his number then?"

smiles. "No he doesn't see anyone as important. Not anymore." [amusing enough....]

Guess I will delete his number. He sounds like a rude person.

(ignore the last part of my post, I thought Byakuran was leaving)

I guess he is. He must be really rude since his friend forgot him...

Frowned. "Oh..? That's sad...I feel kind of bad for him."

smiles. "No you should just delete the number. He's probably a mean cold hearted person."

How would you know? Are you friends with him? Maybe you're the friend who chose to forget him?

doesn't think he is all the time...

nods. "I know him very well...and let's just say he's not the best person...."

Mumbled. "Oh.." Looked down at his phone and puts his finger over the delete button. "...For some reason I..just can't delete him though."

reaches for his phone. "I'll delete it for you... he's a horrible person."

"Maybe thou will remember him eventually?"

Moved his phone away. "I do not feel comfortable handing my phone over to a stranger."

Looked over at Basil. "I doubt I would forget him if I knew him."

you shouldn't remember him then. He's done bad things.

Like what?

apparently pissed off a good friend friend enough for him to forget him....

"Huh..." Looked away. "Well..." Shrugged. "I'm sure he has others? So. Why does it matter so much?"

shakes his head. "Forget it and delete his number."

Nodded. "Alright. If you say so." Clicked delete.

he really is the worse.

if h won't be making a mistake.

*he

looks at basil and shakes his head telling him to shut it.

Smiled a bit. "So, are you and Basil friends?"

glares at him but doesn't say anything. He obvious doesn't care enough to try and get his friend back.

shrugs. what he can't do anything. His friend forgot him for a reason and it's his fault.

nods. "Sure friends..."

Well why don't you sit down? I'd like to meet a friend of Basil's. What's your name?

sighs. "Sometimes..." He says answering Shoichi's question.

grabs basil's shoulder. "My name...basil. It's the exact same as this little guy..."

Chuckled. "Oh. That's weird."

nods. "Yea...very weird."

gapes at him. Was he serious?!

I would like to get to know you a little more. You seem interesting.

stares. "There's nothing you need to know about me."

"Nothing at all..." /still glaringa t him/

"O-oh...Okay." Smiled and stood up. "I'm going to go work on something at my house then. See you later, Basil!"

nods at him and says good bye.

doesn't say anything. "have fun..... Irie-kun....."

Stopped quickly. He doesn't remember telling him his name. He looked back at the albino.

stares at him.

smirks at Byakuran as he noticed the mistake.

stays still.

D-did you just say my name?

maybe. So?

I did not tell you my name. How did you know it?

steps closer. "Unlike some people...I remember things."

Blinked quickly, confused. "What do you mean?"

never mind. You've just made my life easier. A lot easier.

Tilted his head. "Okay...I'm happy then, I guess?"

facepalms. They were both idiots...

nods. "Go home and fix whatever your computer or something.... and don't forget to empty your pockets... you have a weird tendency -

- to forget important things..."

Scratched the side of his head. "Okay...?" Walked away and back to his house.

turns to basil. "Shut up."

doesn't want to hear a lecture.

how he knew what he said if he was thinking it...

a feeling he's going to get a lecture. "I don't care. He just made my life a lot easier."

"So thou art just going to let him go? Just like that?"

and do what?He obviously forgot me for a reason. So if he hated me that much I'll just let it go.

"I do not believe he hated thee. Like thee, he was confused. And perhaps making thy life easier was his goal...but he could not hath been-

completely happy about it."

shrugs. "Well I'm not going to do anything about it. I already made my choice before he forgot."

sighs. "If that is thy final decision, I will not say any more. I just hope it does not end up blowing up in thy faces..." He gets up,-

ready to continue his run.

sighs. "Already has."

looks down. "I'm sorry..."

smiles. "It's okay. I already made my choice." He pets basil.

smiles. "Is that so? Then, I am happy for thee. Perhaps now all the confusion will end..."

nods. "Yep. I'll talk to them later."

nods. "Except now Irie-dono believes we hath the same name..." He looks at him with an annoyed expression.

smirks. "But Basil is such a cute name."

blushes. "Thank thee..." He mumbles. "But thou did not hath to take it..."

looks away. "go continue training. It's better for him to forget."

with one last wary look at him and starts running again. I wonder if that will even last he thinks.

smiles as if nothing happened.
