Summary: Hunting for a camera



He'd searched all around the apartment and found no sign of his camera. It felt like a silly thing to be so concerned over. Soon the batteries would die and he wouldn't be able to use it, but the pictures were there. It was like carrying his friends and family around with him, and when the loneliness of this place got to him he could cycle through them and feel a weight lifted.

So he'd left the area surrounding the apartment, wondering just how he was supposed to find something so small in a place like this. He balanced along the edge of the curb for a stretch, walking its length and kicking at fallen debris. His eyes were stretched skywards to the high buildings, a cherry blossom cutting in his fingertips which he twirled absently.

It could be anywhere...where did he even start?

"Hn." At the sound that Ritsuka turned toward, Sasuke's eyes shifted over to it as well. His eyes narrowed just slightly as a hand unconsciously reached back for his sword, but he had to stop himself. ...Had he really grown to be dependent on the weapon Orochimaru gave him going on five years ago?

Tch. Pathetic.

Ritsuka's tail twitched lightly, ear keeping twisting towards the side for a moment facing forwards again. It was nothing...probably. He didn't like this. He felt vulnerable, and this wasn't like home where he could sense a Fighter's field.

He took a slow breath, looking down to his cutting and then back to the buildings. He wasn't going to let himself be scared away. His camera was precious. "Mm...I'm going to keep looking. You can come if you want."

"I'm fine." Sasuke simply watched, just waiting for the 'please come with me' that he knew would eventually come. He wouldn't expect anything less, considering the child was afraid of the other buildings in the city.

Ritsuka nodded, continuing towards the building, though his feet were slow and his ears drooped a bit. He didn't want to ask. He barely knew Sasuke, and he'd just say no anyways, wouldn't he? He paused, looking back. "...Are you sure?" he asked, trying to sound casual, though there was a hint of a pleading tone in his voice, "We could look out for each other..."

And there it was. Sasuke held in the breath he wanted to let out and simply started making his way past Ritsuka.

"Start walking or I'll leave you behind."

Ritsuka nodded hurriedly, quickening his pace to keep up. "Thank you, Sasuke-san. I'm sorry if I bother you sometimes. I just want to make friends with everyone if we're all stuck here together." He offered a timid smile, before looking about the building, "Where do you think we should look first? I wish we had clues or something. It's not a very fair game."
