Nightshift 30: M-A Block Hallway

[norainu]

Renji paused just long enough to open the door into the first M-block, then ran in, leaving it open behind him. He headed toward the last hallway.

He did switch his flashlight on now, though.

...just in case there was another spider. And no Daemon. In which case he would do more than punch the shit out of the man when he got to him.

Renji's eyebrow twitched. He probably would have been grouchy about it, but it hadn't been much of a punch. "Right, whatever," he said.

"We're going to the basement," he said. He turned to head toward the exit of the m-block. "When I talked to the radio man yesterday, he said that was where to go. Whether I trust that or not, we found some interesting stuff. Weapons." He turned to head toward the exit of the block. "I've caused enough time to be wasted already. We should move out."

Wait. The basement?

The Don't-Go-Down-There-Unless-You're-Absolutely-Ready Basement? That basement? The same basement?

If it was possible, Artemis' face lost a shade of color.

"O-oh. Right, all right," He tried his best to steel his resolve, but last night had spooked him to no end. Artemis remembered his talk with Haku about being assigned to projects more appropriate to his talents, but now was obviously not the time. Momo was injured, and Hitsugaya had chosen him for some reason besides the job of Obvious Target, right? Right. ...Right.

"Yes, let's move out!" Artemis said with a smile, trotting after Renji before anyone could notice his hesitation.

Hitsugaya made no outward sign that he noticed her glance. The punch was puzzling, but he'd figure it out later. Or he wouldn't. Whatever the case it apparently had something to do with him. If they had the chance, he'd ask Renji about it. If not...well...he wasn't going to worry about it.

"Agreed," Hitsugaya said to Renji. He nodded briefly to Momo. "Be safe," he said, then followed after the others.

Momo sighed, both at Artemis' rather false enthusiasm and her own inability to accompany the three to the basement.

"You too," she replied to Hitsugaya, her voice soft, "or I'll come after you." And she would.

The shinigami folded her hands inside the sleeves of her kimono and watched them leave. Now she had no idea what to do.

Staying where she was at the moment, Momo waited until she felt the other shinigami's reiatsu drift far enough away that she was certain they wouldn't consider her foray into the hallways as an attempt to follow them. She really wasn't sure what to do, as she had no more plans and no goals for the night. Part of her wanted to go find Signum's team, just to check up on the lead knight's condition (worries as the shinigami was about her), but she trusted her friend would keep her word. Besides, Momo would be nothing but a burden to her and Saber, each knight feeling they had not only Hokuto to protect, but the injured vice captain as well.

No, she wouldn't do that. She... needed to find herself. She still felt lost and Hitsugaya's words about refinding herself rang out in her head. With a silent bow of her head and a nod, Momo headed out of the hall. They would all be upset with her, all of them even down to Hokuto, but the shinigami needed to spend this night on her own, without anyone there but herself to depend on.

Stupid, yes, but necessary.
