"--just over there...?"
The Dark Hour had ended, and Midori was once again awake. And very confused. Kaini had been right in front of her before, and now he was suddenly missing. She turned around to look for him, and saw the boy sitting at the Cafe. She ran over. "K2-kun! What's wrong?" K2 looked practically broken.
In fact, what had just happened reminded her of one time before, when K1, Yuugi, and Minato had all appeared outside the Apartment Complex for some reason.

The Angel had stepped back to allow Midori and Kaini some room. She was still there and extremely visible, though. It was likely Midori was too focused on Kaini to know. Or at least to care. Kaini jerked his head up at Midori's voice and looked down at his shirt. It was wet, sure, soaking even. His head felt full of fuzz but he remembered two things. It had been raining blood. And Midori had been instantly replaced with some crystal structure. He jumped up, the force knocking the hastily repaired umbrella over the table lopsided, and very likely surprised Midori as he quite literally threw his arms around her. It seemed he was totally unaware of the potential awkwardness that might cause.
"You're okay!" he shouted, his voice shaking terribly. He also had a rather tight grasp. Somewhere in his subconscious he thought that if he let her go, she'd change again. And the rain would turn back to blood. He sounded and looked like he'd seen his worst fear try to eat him.
The Angel kept her position. The Child of Man would have to explain that action, and she wanted to put his full focus to what he would say. He had come dangerously close to breaking with little hope of returning.

Midori looked a little confused. "...Did I go somewhere?" Midori asked. She looked up at the angel for a moment before looking at K2 again. He almost looked like a little kid with how he was crying, and he seemed soaked from head to toe. Had something happened?

He paused and stepped back. He looked rather embarassed but far more confused, "You.... You don't know what happened....?"
Actually... he wasn't that sure either right now. But it had definently rained blood and Midori had turned into... something. He supposed it was possible she'd been sent into some kind of stasis, "You were... um... vanished maybe? This... crystal like thing. About your height... I think it was like an hour or something." He did seem to be regaining his apparent age, though. That was one thing to be grateful for. He looked and felt far more confused than Midori was.
He was obviously having trouble putting words together. The Angel nodded to herself. She had been right, he couldn't remember well at all. However, it didn't appear any time had passed. Cain and his opinion that God was not all powerful would be having a field day with how much she didn't know about this.

Midori tilted her head. "...crystal thingy? For an hour? Oh! It musta been that Dark Hour thing I heard Minato-kun and Souji-kun talking about!" She smiled. "I'm okay now, though, K2-kun. You don't have to worry about me!"
She looked up at the angel, who was similarly soaked. "Are you okay, Angel-chan?"

"You knew about it...?"
The angel seemed mildly surprised to be addressed. However, she nodded politely, "I am fine. Thank you for the concern. Son... that is, Kaini-sama, will you be alright?"
Kaini looked towards the angel. He still felt rather confused and lost and other things. He looked down at his clothes and paled a bit, "I want a change."
It might be water now... but it hadn't been less than ten minutes ago. Did Keiichi go through this? Or his... well, technically their cousin?

Midori raised an eyebrow. It was just water, wasn't it?
"Oh! If you need some clothes, I just made this super cute new cosplay you can wear!" Midori said. "I'll go grab it from my room!" Without waiting for Kaini, she skipped off, thinking of a cute outfit for him to wear.

"Wait.. what!?"
However, Midori had already bounded off. He facepalmed. As much as he wanted to just wander off and pretend that hadn't just happened, he couldn't. For one, it'd be indescribably rude. She'd probably tear the island apart looking for him. She seemed to think it was her job to protect him, despite it being the reverse on a much larger scale. But cosplay? Granted, she was good at costumes. The camera feeds she put up were an indicator of that, although he'd only seen a few because his friends had made him. But cosplay. Keiichi already hated him, and now....
He slumped into a sitting position, thankful the umbrella had allowed the seat to stay dry from all fluids falling from the sky. He hoped the rule about him being a guy thinking she liked him meant she most certainly didn't. He also found himself paling at the anime he'd seen. He hoped she stuck him in one of the... well, tamer outfits. Maybe he could use needing a shower as an excuse? She didn't seem to understand the situation. Of course not. She'd been crystallized the entire time.
He turned towards the Angel, "Why didn't I turn into a crystal thing? It's not because I'm Chosen... unless those two teens she mentioned are too."
".....it is perhaps an aspect of spirit. It is possible they both have stronger spirits than the girl," the angel answered, carefully sidestepping an exact explanation.
Kaini sighed, pulling out his COMP, "You can go back in. I'm not sleeping tonight."
"As you wish."
The angel vanished into the COMP as Kaini covered his face with his hands and waited for the inevetible embarassment. Why did she even have an outfit that would fit a guy, anyhow? He... wasn't sure he wanted to know the answer to that.

After ten minutes or so, Midori came running back, carrying a black cape and what looked like a skintight suit, as well as... a banana hammock. She was carrying a banana hammock to go with it. She ran up to K2.
"I'm sorry! I couldn't find the one I wanted, so I grabbed the only other one I finished!" She held it up. "It's Zero's outfit from Code Geass!"
((OOC: Supplemental artworks for Code Geass reveal that Lelouch wears a banana hammock under his very skintight and flamboyant Zero outfit. ;D))

(OOC: ZOMG *fangirl squee* Sorry, looked him up and I love the character's design. K2 won't, and I don't blame him, but woooo! XD Although the whole point of his design seems to be pretty boy eye candy. XD
And were you trying to pull a DeSu related ironic funny with the epic black cape? XDD)
Kaini looked up as he heard Midori approaching. And saw... a purple suit and a black cape. He couldn't know it as he didn't know the franchise beyond the name, but the teen was lucky Midori hadn't made a oneway mask piece to go with it. He glanced at the object she had in her other hand and sweatdropped.... at least the outfit wasn't revealing. Well, when put altogether. And he had to admit, his untrained eyes were telling him it looked better made than what you could get at most stores, let alone what most people could make themselves. But... he fought a facepalm. He didn't want to seem insulting.
"Um..... I... need a bath too though...." Somehow he knew he was going to end up in that outfit. He suddenly felt like he'd become a dress up doll. His face was kind of hard to read. One with Midori's optimism might have read the attempts at not looking disgusted as tiredness. Which he was, actually. Far more tired than he felt he should be.
He was too busy trying to not seem rude to realize he still hadn't explained why he needed a change. Sure, he was wet, but he wasn't sopping. He'd dry. Although with the time of year there was a slight chance of a cold. As if the point wasn't evident enough, the teenager sneezed.

(OOC: Maaaaaaybe.
And he's designed by CLAMP, of course he's gonna be a bishounen. XD)
Midori jumped at the sneeze. "Ahhh! You're sick! That's not good! I don't think I can heal sickness... and I don't think Amrita works with colds... And it's supposed to be REALLY BAD for you to take a shower when you're sick!" Which was possible... yet at the same time not. They never had proven the fact after all.
"My room's got a shower, just go, go goooooo!" She ran behind K2 and began pushing him forward. She had changed her mind it sounded like.

Kaini tried to argue, but he managed to sneeze again. Which got rid of any chance he had of fighting back as he tried to prevent his head from flying off. As it was he was having to focus on not falling down with the way Midori was pushing him.
He worried about taking a shower at her place though... He felt his face getting red and actually hoped she'd pass it off as a fever coming on or something. He would have facepalmed had he not been focusing on not falling down. It's not that he liked her, but give the poor stressed out teenage boy some slack.

Somehow, Midori managed to push Kaini all the way to the hotel. After reaching there, she gave him her keys. "It's room 201, just go, I'll meet you back up there later." She blushed and turned away. It seemed the same thought had finally occured to her.

He tried to get his own blush to turn away and grabbed the edge of the clothes Midori was still holding. He didn't want to get back in the ones he was wearing, and he supposed the odd cosplay outfit was better than running around in a skirt. He wasn't sure Midori wore skirts, but it seemed like she might. And he wanted to be sure. While odd, at least the cosplay outfit was for a male character. A male character that dressed like a male, he had to tell himself.
"Thanks... I'll see you later..." he said.
Just... don't turn around, I'm sure my face is red. My friends would be laughing at me. Its not my fault I'm not good with girls!

Midori nodded and stood where she was. This K2 person seemed rather uncomfortable around her for some reason... at the time, though, she was thinking about him. He had just the right body type... he could try on all of her cosplays before she shipped them out to make sure they fit! Kaini wouldn't mind too much... right?
She smiled. Things seemed to be looking up.
