Hikaru looked a little disappointed at Kida's suggestion on to carry his brother. Really, he can see it so vividly in his mind, Zeph beating the crap out of him when he knows Hikaru lets a GIRL carry his unconscious body...but after taking a second glance to Kida, she doesn't seem like wanting to back off from her offer...at all.
Hanging his head low, Hikaru sighed in defeat. Kida moved around the redhead right after that, balancing his sleeping brother on her shoulder and trying to reach the back door. The child then quickly snap himself out of the image of getting beaten before quickly scattered for the door before Kida does and opened it for her to pass by.
Her question somehow entered his mind quite late actually, so Hikaru took quite some time blinking and tilting his head sideways a bit to let it dawned into him, and then finally answering, "Wha? O-oh!! Dorms. Yeah, we live in the dorms, yep. I mean, not in one room, but same block..er..wait, of course its the same block, we're both guys." A slap on the head, of course.
"B-but...really! Please, I can carry him now~" 'For the sake of my head if nii-san wakes up seeing a girl carrying him...' Hikaru continued in his mind.

"Uh, thanks." she said to him opening the door for her, but wondered if he'd heard her question. Then she watched in confusion as the boy...confused himself? "Dorms it is then." Of course she didn't know the lay out of the boy's section of the dorms it couldn't be that confusing. After all the girl's was very easy to follow.
Wow, Hikaru really wasn't letting up with the whole carrying Zephel thing. "I promise I'll tell you when I start to get tired, okay? Sorry if I'm being a little pushy, but your brother saved my skin twice tonight and I want to help." But the redhead looked pretty nervous. At least what she thought was nervous.
"Hey, Hikaru.... This might be prying, and feel free to tell me to mind my own business...but you seem really worried about me carrying Zeph. Why is that?"

As they made their way around the restaurant and into the main road, Hikaru's heaved out a rather relieving sight seeing the lights beside the road is still on brightly. Being an essence of light, it's only natural for him to fear the darkness...that's why he's taking hell of a run before to quickly reach the back door of the restaurant.
But then, when his dim head finally lets Kida's words dawned into him, a pair of bright red eyes stared surprisingly at the brunette. "MY brother...saved you??" He's surprised he can even word it out, much less believing in it. "MY brother?? Him?? You mean, HIM?!" The child pointed incredulously at the white-haired form that Kida's carrying...and pretty much hinting that Zeph might be much more different than back at the restaurant.
Followed by that is a nervous laugh...sweat drops here and there around his head. "Naa, don't worry. I'll just loose my head when he sees you carrying him, no biggie. I'm used to it." He flashes a smile to Kida...while caressing his own neck. "A-anyway, Kida.....I can't get myself to believe he's able to help anybody in any way, a girl especially. He hates saving women." Hikaru stated with wide eyes, walking alongside Kida and occasionally glances towards his brother to make sure 'the sleeping beast', as Hikaru worded it out in his thoughts, is still sleeping...

"Um...yeah....seriously. Well it wasn't really 'saving' so much as....aiding, I guess. You see, err... In my pocket, most likely sleeping at the moment, I have a fire lizard. He got interested in your brother and he could have had me thrown out for having him with me, but he didn't. Also my fire lizard, uh...sort of got me to smack him with a glove on accident. Then he even got me a job there." All in one night too. A lot had happened. So much that her roommate probably wouldn't believe her later.
"And don't worry about your head. If he wakes up and tried, I'll kick his ass for you." she chuckled. It was probably a brother-male-thing. Something Kida wasn't really used to only having one brother. If she'd had two or three though it would have been interesting to see them interact, she thought. "I'm not your basic D.I.D." she added with a smirk.

And after she had finished her tale, Hikaru's red eyes remained as wide as before, only having his head tilted at the side slightly now. "Your fire lizard...bugged my brother...and offering you a job is his revenge...??" The child let his eyes traveled to his sleeping brother, then blinked continuously. "...I seriously cannot believe that is my brother you're talking about." He concluded.
Tearing his eyes off Kida and Zeph, the redhead turns his attention to the road ahead...only a kilometer until they reached the dorms. For once, Hikaru let his head on the move. His brother behaves like...well, a cruel dictator around him...but he never knew how Zeph acts around others. Especially around females.
That's when Kida stated what she would do if Zeph harmed him. Of course, that made Hikaru's eyebrows shot up high. "You what?? A-and...I'm almost afraid to ask but...what's D.I.D...?"

It was at that time Bec decided to wake up and stick his head drowsily out of her cargo pocket. He didn't seem very interested in what was going on however so with a lazy 'kyu' he stuck his head back in and went back to sleep. "Lazy firelizard." Kida commented.
"Well....your brother was pretty damn exhausted. I don't know if that has anything to do with it." Zeph could have just been too tired to yell at her and get her thrown out. Kida chuckled at the thought. Lack of energy had never saved her before but it just might have tonight. Kida blinked at Hikaru's question. "A D.I.D.? You know....Damsel In Distress." Nope, definitely wasn't one of those.
"In other words I meant that I can handle myself." And others. She thought with another chuckle, just like she was at that moment. Kida had to shift Zephel once again to keep him from slipping.

Hikaru had to admit, he's quite surprised seeing a tiny head poking out of Kida's cargo pocket...to the point of hopping back from her a bit. But the redhead then quickly resume his steps when the firelizard curled back inside the pocket, looking up to face the owner.
"OHHH... So THAT'S why he's acting strange. If there's one thing nii-san can't cope with, its his endurance. So his energy drops like...really really fast, so he has to make this certain energy potion and drink it regularly to survive through the day without the aid of caffeine-- ...Am I talking too much?" Slapping a hand on his mouth, Hikaru laughed slightly with a sweatdrop.
But it's a good thing talking about this, because now he knows what D.I.D. means. And whether he realized it or not, the child now looks at Kida rather differently than before because of that statement. In fact, he actually feels slightly fearful of her now... 'Nii-san said to never judge someone by their appearance. Yeah, of course, but--'
His discussion with his mind is cut short when he spotted someone running towards them a few distance away...with several people behind...equipped with torches and spears...?
"Dammit, leave me alone!! I'm having quite enough teenage problems for now, thank you!!" A female voice yelled through the night, who happens to be that same person running towards Kida and Hikaru. Of course she's running, there's a pack of angry mob trailing behind her carrying pitchforks and screaming 'vampire' over and over.
"Wh?? Make way! Make way~!!" The girl in purple hollered to the trio in front as soon as she saw them, swishing her hands to the side to signal them to move away. "Mob won't stop at nothing~! Go, go!" And she's right. The mob occupied every inch of the path from one side of the road to the other, giving Kida and Hikaru no space to let them pass...at all.

"No, you're not---What the hell?!" Why in Gods name was a mob chasing a girl like she were a witch? And in the middle of the street?! It was like a really, really bad b-movie about the witch trials. "Move?! Where the hell are we supposed to GO?!" Kida was half tempted to just kick whoever the hell it was into the mob and be done with it, but then again she didn't know the whole story.
Goddamnit... Looking around Kida spied their life line--a fire escape on the side of a building. "Hikaru! Come on!" Tugging him by the collar, she ran for it. With a wince she half tossed, half shoved Zephel up to safety, giving him another push to make sure his unconscious body wouldn't fall. Another jump and she caught the bottom of the fire escape, another pull and she was up.
"Hikaru, gimme your hand!" Kida extended the first half of her body and her arm to the redhead, "I'll pull you up!"

Hikaru was left dumbfounded at the sight of about...a hundred or so men chasing down a purple-robed girl. It was Kida that tugged onto his collar that made his feet moved and triggered his mind to co-operate once again. He watched in surprise as Kida simply tossed his brother up the conveniently-located fire escape nearby and blinked blankly.
The moment when Kida yelled as she outstretched her arm to him, Hikaru quickly extended his arm to reach hers... But fate decided to point and laugh at him by choosing to show that his height matters in this situation, to the point of the redhead not being able to touch much less reach Kida's hand...at all. The slightly rumbling ground signalled the mob is getting closer and Hikaru tries to jump up, only managing to touch Kida's arm before slipping down. He clamped his feet and tried once again to leap up, this time successful in grabbing Kida's extended hand...
"Quickly!!" Waving a hand towards Hikaru, the black-haired girl swished her hand upwards, pushing Hikaru up with the motion of her hand, effectively using her telekinesis. And once the line's clear, she ran through the street with a bit of relief. This girl then dissappeared within sight, the mob trailing behind her seemed to be endless as shouts and hollers filled the night, their stampeding feet gave out the loudest of noise...kind of bring out the scene in The Lion King movie, apparently.
"Ugh..." Zeph slowly flipped open his eyes when he felt a sharp pain at his arm, and tried to assess the little bit of information he could gather by the darkness of the sky his eye caught and the screaming and yelling he could hear. With a grunt, the silver-haired tried to sat up on the metal he's partly leaning on, bringing up a hand to his head to lessen the throbbing as he furrowed his eyebrows... "The hell..."
And that's when a form suddenly fell right onto him from the sky, flattening poor Zephel for a while with a lack of air, before realizing it's a certain red-head that's currently sitting on top of him. "G-get OFF of me!" He commanded, pushing the child off while straightening his mind on what's going on.

In the flight that had sent Hikaru up and over into the fire escape Kida had been pushed back. And hard. She felt her head hit something with a thud. Because that sound wasn't a crack she only had to assure she hadn't hit the metal. Kida groaned and turned her head to see....a leg? What the hell?
Before her brain could think that through a person--What the hell a person?!--yes, a person, was dropped on her. "Omph!" Her air supply vanished as she blindly shoved the weight off. "What in the--Hikaru?!" Hikaru had been dumped on her...apparently when Zephel had pushed the red-head off of him. Now they were all in a tangled mess. Kida was basically lying on top of Zephel's lower legs and Hikaru was half sprawled on top of her.
"Move!" Kida shoved much gentler this time so as to not hurt the kid--but that kindness would only last him a few seconds. So if Hikaru wanted his health and happiness he would get the hell off and ASAP. Now Kida's head was pounding too. Zeph has some damn hard legs...
"Nice of you to join us, Zeph..." Kida groaned.

"Ah!! Sorry, sorry!!!" Hikaru scampered off from Kida quickly as she ordered him to move, feeling awkward to have been on top of both his brother and his brother's colleague. But well, Hikaru particularly can't see where he's supposed to go, so...
"Wh? Waaaaa~!!"
BAM!!!
"Ow!!" He cried in pain as he hits the hard ground with a whack.
Hearing a familliar female voice, Zeph tries to sat up, but unable to do properly so by the weight on his knees, so he just use his elbows to push his upper body up and sat there, bringing a hand through his silver hear in an attempt to calm his throbbing head.
"Well, with Hikaru, anything is possible. What did I missed?" He monotonously asks while reaching for Kida's arm and pulls her to sat up. "You okay? That was a hard hit there on your head."

The colors of her vision swam when he helped her sit up. And impressive feat, considering it was night and most things weren't colored in the faint light of the stars. "I'm...good....okay....sort of in pain." she groaned as she rubbed her head. Kida gave it a shake, and besides aching she didn't really see anything wrong with it. A good bit of ibuprofen would make her feel muuuuch better. Hopefully Das wouldn't try to give her any of that 'natural' crap.
"Ow..." Kida expected to see a red head when she looked up but...nothing. To the right or the left. "Hikaru?" Well, there was only one other way to go from there and that was down. So Kida looked down. "Oh shit! Hikaru!" Kida jumped down, stumbling only a little due to her head and went to Hikaru. "Are you okay?!" That was a long way to fall, especially for someone who couldn't reach her hand earlier. Not to mention that it was a fall to concrete, very painful.

Zeph stared at Kida who's busy shaking her head and he a raised brow. With one look, that over-honest statement was made. "Seriously though, you look like you need Advil or something." When Kida went around in search for his red-headed brother through, Zeph leaned back a bit, showing he has no interest in this issue, though it surprised him to see Kida literally hopped down to aid Hikaru. The silver-haired pushes himself at the edge of the fire escape, his eyes unsympathetic of his brother's fall. "Really Kida, you don't need to worry about him. He's been smacked around too much he grows an extra-hard skin."
Having someone suddenly appeared tending him when he's hurt is sort of new for little Hikaru apparently, since he can't help staring at Kida with stars in his eyes. To answer Kida's question however, Hikaru only managed to nod at her, then mutely patting the lower side of his jaw lightly.
But the child smiled so brightly at her nonetheless, truly happy of how she's concerned of him, then proceeds to reach his other hand to Kida's shoulder and pats her with that same content smile.
"Ahh..." Zeph nodded in comprehension as he hopped down from the fire escape, landing near Hikaru. "So you fell on your chin and you snapped your jaw again?"
Hikaru looked up to his brother and nodded continuously, though carefully as to not hurt himself as his right hand is holding on on the lower part of his face the whole time.
"...I'll get right onto that when we're back in the dorm." With a long sigh, the silver-haired shook his head lightly. He then switched his attention to the only female in the group. "You still owe me an explanation on what just happened." Then grabbed Hikaru at the back of his collar when the redhead tries to escape.

"Ah, Christ, your jaw snapped?!" Idiot, idiot, idiot! Kida shouldn't have been in such a hurry to get the kid off of her. If she hadn't maybe he wouldn't have fallen and hurt himself like that. "Zeph, you better be one hell of a healer." Kida gingerly touched Hikaru's jaw, careful not to hurt him. "Are you really used to this...?"
That's when Zeph mentioned an explanation. "You don't remember?" Kida straightened and looked at the silver haired pastry chef. "You passed out back at the kitchen. You still look really tired....Then Hikaru showed up and, well, I couldn't let you two go off in the middle of the night like that, so I decided to help Hikaru get you home safely." As she explained Kida was trying to think of where she could get ice at this hour for the poor kid's jaw. She hoped icing it would actually help, she couldn't remember the basic first aid she'd been taught years ago. Even if she could she doubted broken jaws were included.
Once again Bec decided to stick his head out of the pocket in which he'd been hiding. He gave a weak little 'Kyu' half reprimanding, half crying because he'd been squished in the earlier altercation. Kida jumped. Bec! My poor baby! She took him out and cradled him so he'd feel better. "Poor little guy...you got smushed too."
Jeez, they were a real walking case of we-need-a-hospital-stat. Bec had been squished, Zeph was suffering of sleep exhaustion, Kida had one HELL of a headache and Hikaru had a broken jaw.

Again, Hikaru stared wide-eyed at Kida, totally liking the attention he was receiving. With his hand handling his lower face tight, the redhead calmly nodded at Kida's question on whether he's used to thie. Zeph took the liberty of explaining Hikaru's...'gift', much to the little boy's embarrassment. So the redhead stood up, dusting himself with his one free hand to distract himself from listening what his brother had to say.
"Relax, he broke his bones almost every day, to the point that I actually attained a skill in bone-mending. He's a bad luck magnet, everybody close to him got used to it." His eyelids are half-closed when he's mentioning this, almost shut completely actually if he hadn't held himself back.
So, Zeph tries to keep himself awake as he focused on Kida's explanation. "...I passed out?" He repeated disbelievingly, blinking wildly at her. But then, Kida's fire-lizard made its appearance known with Kida quickly pull the little thing out and cradled it, which reminded Zeph of his own fire-lizard....who's supposed to be in Hikaru's care back in his dorm.
Shooting Hikaru a glare, successfully making Hikaru took a few steps back.
Hikaru wants to speak something, clearly alarmed by his brother's sudden glower of doom, but he can only managed humming his words out... With his one hand, he tried to act out that both the fire-lizard and the dog were sleeping when he stepped out.[/color]
Zeph made a slight nod, having been reading Hikaru's mind instead of his rediculous actions he's attempting, and forgive Hikaru for leaving his responsibility...for now. "Hikaru, go run home and check if they've blown up my kitchen yet. Kida, I appreciate whatever you did till now, so if you want me to accompany you or something, I'd be glad to." He stated clearly, trying his best to hold his head from bobbing back and forth from how exhausted he is.
"Really, the last thing I want is a certain mentally-sick-headed buffoon jumping out and attack you." He cornered his eyes, as if expecting that said buffoon to leap up from the shadows now. Apparently, being stuck to that perverted idiot for quiet some time now has shapen Zeph to be rather traumatized when it comes to women being alone in the dead night.
