"I don't know what you're talking about," Yue said flatly, not even bothering to look back at Touya as the two of them walked through the door. Everything about his posture was even more tense than usual, and not just because of the current topic of conversation: it was getting closer to evening, which meant closer to potential danger. And if the rain continued like this, and the events of last week repeated themselves, the evening could be exponentially more dangerous.

It was fortunate, then, that he'd sensed Sakura's presence nearby and been able to use that excuse to lead Touya away from being able to see the note he'd posted on the bulletin in the grocery store. The two of them needed to be near her once night fell, after all, just in case. That hadn't, however, stopped the inconvenient and annoying questions, although the guardian simply claimed ignorance about the entire thing.

Once inside the shop he wrinkled his nose delicately at the reek of chemicals, then moved over to join the girl. "You are all right?" he asked, giving her a quick glance to make certain she hadn't suffered too much from the storm.
