A battle!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku Kururugi vs. Oichi

Weapons: Lelouch vi Britannia and Kotarou
Location: Courtyard probably
Time of day: Early Afternoon?

Suzaku was a little nervous, after all this was his first battle as a Player. He had read the entire rulebook now, and thought he could remember most of the main rules. It was all right though, Lelouch probably had the whole thing memorised. Suzaku looked to him now hiding his nerves in a determined nod. "You ready?"

He looked around waiting for Oichi to arrive; it was still a few moments before when they had agreed to meet though.

Oh, she thinks- Sora's gut twists, even through the pain. "That's not true!" She pulls Oichi up from her curled-over position, and meets her eyes desperately, "You're not, you're really not. He's going to be okay. He'll wake up!"

Because the boy isn't capable of reassurance, isn't old enough to smile and lie and tell her that it's okay like they did. Sora never really felt like she deserved her friends' forgiveness for the pain she caused in her ignorance, but this isn't her; other people can be forgiven and she'll accept that without hesitation. As long as Oichi is okay, there'll be a chance for her to talk to her friend again and make things right. "Come with me," she says, the plea almost a command in its force, "I'm going to stay with you until we can see him, I promise."

Oichi looks up, black eyes perfectly blank, a tear trailing down her face. "Kotarou... isn't dead..." It isn't a question. It's as if saying it out loud will make it true. Make it real. Yes, that works; Oichi has no reason not to believe this girl, can feel the truth in her as though it were tangible. And she meets her gaze.

The fear of being alone again isn't gone, but quelled. Yes. Yes... this girl will stay with her, warm and real.

"Ichi... won't be alone... because. You are here." It's meant as a question, but the lilt to her words makes it come off as a statement. "... Ichi will come with you."
