Kage: *as far as he's concerned, at this moment, the others don't exist. It must be kind of amazing to the original four to see him like this, /clinging/ to his brother, face tucked to his shoulder. He doesn't care what they think, he doesn't want to face them yet. A small part of him is afraid to face them. He doesn't hate them, he's watched them all for too long to hate them in any way. Honestly he's come to love all of them for them and not just for their love and acceptance of Maru. But he doesn't want to face them. He's scared. What if they reject him because of what they remember of him? ...he knows he made a /horrible/ first impression on the four Braves and their Boss...*

Maru: *clinging for a long moment - it's a miracle, after all these years, suddenly his lost brother is here* .........h-how...?

Kage: I don't know...this place, I think.

Maru: No, I mean...how did you find us? Have you been here all along?

Kage: *soft hufflaugh* I never left you. I'm so proud of you, of all you've done.

Maru: *goes /still/ at that...then tucks his face in more* ...K-kagerou... *that means more to him than he would have ever even guessed*

Kage: *HUGS, just happy to be /able/ to hug Maru again.*

Maru: *CLINGING, voice muffled in his shoulder* Damn, I've missed you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I failed you.

Kage: *shakes his head* You didn't fail me. It's /not/ your fault.

Maru: I should have saved you. I should have found you sooner. Dammit, it's what I was /built/ for! *information-gathering, infiltration...*

Kage: And I wasn't? It was /not/ your fault. Never your fault. I'm sorry you've hurt over this.

Maru: *soft keen escapes him – that first and greatest failure has hurt and /driven/ him his whole life*

*The others shift, feeling they shouldn't be here, this is so personal…*

Kage: *hug /tightens/* Shadowmaru....... *he doesn't know what else to say to make things okay for his brother again.*
Nolan: *no concept of personal times, floats over before anyone realizes what he's doing. He bumps Kage's head, then Maru's wanting attention too.*
Kage: *flinches and looks up...and gives the little creature a small smile, shifting a hand to gently pokepet at him.*

Maru: *hearing his brother's voice, /feeling/ him as a physical presence here with him . . . h-he doesn't ever want to leave this place if it means losing his brother again…b-but he knows he can't do that . . . h-he can't think about that, not…not yet . . . also flinches a bit and looks up*
Deckard: *steps forward without /quite/ approaching just yet* Kagerou…

Kage: *another soft flinch at Deckard's voice, at being the one addressed. He makes himself release Maru and turn to face Deckard, expression unreadable...body language perhaps a little braced.* Deckard. *tone is soft, just a light greeting that doesn't hint at all to what he might think or feel at the moment.* Inspector Tomonaga. *also greeting Yuuta as Yuuta is on Deckard's shoulder.*
Yuuta: *has a little smile on his face.* Hello, Kagerou...

Maru: *lets go reluctantly, but is Right. There. . . . starts to step in front of his brother, to protect him…but he and Deckard have spoken before, he thinks he knows what's on the team lead's mind…he's not worried for his brother*
Deckard: *his expression is very, /very/ readable . . . there's hurt, uncertainty…self-blame . . . it takes him a moment to find the words he's wanted to say for twenty years* It's…good to see you again…

	Kage: for as neutral as he's appeared there's still a visible shift in Kage, he actually kind of gapes for a moment It's...good to see you too. which actually feels a little strange to say since he actually sees Deckard all the time, just isn't usually seen... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Deckard: Kagerou . . . that day . . . I'm sorry. We had no idea. At the time, it was just the four of us. *motions at himself, McC, Dmps, and PJ, all of whom look equally contrite* We didn't know there were other Super AIs out there. We'd been sent after an errant war machine. Had we known…
McC: What was done to you should /never/ have happened. Had we known the truth, we would have done all we could to help.
Dmps: I get it was the rules and all, but . . . *fists are /clenched/*
PJ: They dealt you a pretty bum hand . . . and we played right into it.
Deckard: Kagerou . . . I hope you can forgive us.
*Duke, GM, and DB are a little aside, staying out of it – this was before their time…*

	Kage: okay, so he's heard them talk about that time a time or two over the last two decades, but to have them actually say it to him... There's nothing to forgive. You were following orders, and I... I did not give you much reason to question them. I'm sorry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Deckard: relaxes a little, finally smiling quietly Thank you, Kagerou. Dmps: Just a bad time for everyone, I guess. DB: So /you're/ Kagerou, huh? headtilt, studying him Duke: stepping forward, offers his hand It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm Duke. That's Drill Boy, and this is Gunmax. GM: still kind of hanging back, two-finger salute Yo. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kage: Mn. a sound of confirmation and a nod to DB. He easily accepts Duke's hand and with a small lopsided smile he's even return GM's two fingered salute. It is good to finally meet you. All of you officially I guess I should say. Mira: It's a pleasure, Kagerou. Yuuta: It certainly is. I'm glad we got to meet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sola: Yes. He's formed himself, if he leaves the springs as he is he'll be living again. He'll have to pass the Reaper, though, I think. I don't know what all that means.

Kage: *slows so Maru can /easily/ catch up, but doesn't stop yet. Even though he's "leaving" the mists he's retaining his solidity.*
*up ahead the group will spot a towering, skeletal figure. It has far more bones than necessary, and in odd shapes that make them look like decoration, each piece making up a larger, intricate design. Red lights in the eye sockets shift to study the group coming towards him, but he doesn't otherwise move. He leans on a massive scythe, like what many imagine when thinking of a grim reaper.*
Kage: *slows a little more when he realizes this Fire J-Decker-sized being is likely the Reaper.*

Kage: *stops and turns to Maru* I have to. Either I pass him and live or you leave here and I go back to being a ghost, or worse, I'm stuck here....or he destroys me. But I have to try... *he throws his arms around Maru and /HUGS/ like he's never going to let go!!!!*
Yuuta: *still freaked of "ghosts", and a giant grim reaper? He's /sheet/ white... but ready to stand with his team if they need to fight. Even give the commands, though the guys don't /actually/ need them.*
Mira: *just...gaping*
Sola: *unbothered and unafraid of the giant skeleton.*

Reaper: There is nothing you can do. The living can only commune with the dead. *glowing red gaze shifts to Kage.* The dead must come to me alone if they seek life.
Kage: *flinches and peeks back and up at the great figure. He can't make himself let go of Maru.*. you can do this, you /can/, you've lived over twenty years without me, if that is how it must be then you /will/ live without me again. You can do this. *softly, only Maru will hear* I need your strength brother. I can't face this without knowing you're with me.
