"So we've both seen the mask break..." He nodded slightly to himself, confirming Madoka's sibling-theory as he did so. "I guess that fits a little..." He wasn't sure why but there was a slight feeling of foreboding that was beginning to creep up on him. Like his days were counting down. It wasn't the first time he had felt this, and he was sure it wouldn't be the last, but it happened when he thought of Jack (and with him, Hotaru and Tekka as well).

She shrugged. "I guess." she looked at him for another moment, tilting her head. "You okay, Ai-Ai?" she asked him, a bit worried.

Aiden nodded and rubbed at his eyes. "I'm just tired and I get the feeling someone just walked over my grave." He shrugged.

Madoka just gave him a weird look. "Oh." she said simply, not really knowing what else to say to that.
The younger Ookami looked around the room, it was so... blank. It scared her, whether she admit it or not. She really didn't want to stay the night here, though she knew it was going to happen to matter what. She sighed, not wanting to be there by herself, which she knew would happen seeing as though Aiden seemed like he already didn't wanna be there. She sighed slightly, she could use a hug right about then.
That's when the thought struck her, looking back to her older clan mate. Aiden wasn't the type for hugs, obviously, but maybe under her current circumstance he would...?
"Ai-ai...?" she asked, still a little unsure. "Can I have a hug...?" she looked like an innocent little girl at the request.

Aiden blinked at the request, thoroughly bewildered. He typically didn't do hugs (though he had given them to Jack when he was little) but considering Madoka was stuck in a hospital and feeling pretty poorly and had attempted suicide recently, he supposed it would be a good thing to do. There was a moment's pause before he sighed, "Alright." With that, the Ookami leaned forward and hugged his younger clanmate.

Madoka smiled to herself when he hugged her, hugging him in return as well. It was strange how something like this could turn her day a little better for her, it wasn't everyday she got a hug believe it or not.
"Thanks," she told him sincerely. "I really needed that. There's not many people I actually hug and it make me feel better and all." she shrugged. "Now that I think about it, the closest thing I've had to a sibling isn't even around right now." she sighed. "Keisko hasn't even gotten here yet... Maybe she doesn't care anymore..." she started talking to herself, which probably made her seem crazy, but the more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to her. Madoka hadn't been home lately, and when she was, Keisko wasn't there. She didn't even remember the last time they had hung out...

Aiden was silent for a moment. "She either hasn't gotten the notice or is unable to get here." He said, believing firmly in this statement. After all, if he didn't show conviction then he couldn't expect for Madoka to believe him. "She'll show up. It's just a matter of time."

She shrugged. "Maybe." she replied. "I just don't wanna be alone." she smirked slightly. "And let's face it, we both know you're not gonna wanna stay here forever just so I'll have company before she gets here.
"Maybe she's busy hanging out with her boyfriend..." she then trailed off, wondering. "I wonder if you know him, he's in Ookami with us." she told him. "Umm... I think Keis' said his name's Matsuda Megumi or something like that..." she shrugged again. "I dunno, though."

Aiden shrugged. "I've been here for awhile already, I don't think another day or so is going to make much of a difference."
As Madoka mentioned the blond's name, Aiden just nodded. "I know him. He's Naomi's brother if I have my family trees right." He had also barged into his house and interrogated him as well as beat his father to unconsciousness. Now THAT had been a fun day.

Madoka nodded. "That's right!" she said, just remembering the two's connection. "Naomi's mean, I don't get what's wrong with her." she shrugged. "But oh well, Matsuda seems nice, you friends with him? I overheard him and Keis' talk about another sister of his, do you know her too? They wouldn't tell me anything about her." she pouted at the thought.

He shrugged. "A little." He really did wish he could come on out and say what he REALLY thought about Hotaru Megumi, but unfortunately he was sworn to silence. "Not too much though. All I know is that she looks like Naomi and that she stays to herself." Aiden really did wish that he hadn't made that fateful bet with Hana, but that was simply that. He'd have to lie through his teeth on this.

Madoka sighed. She wanted to know more! "Fail," she muttered. "with the way they were talking about her they made it sound like some big secret or somethin'." she pouted. "And Keis' normally tells me everything!" she continued to complain.

"Wish I could tell you more." He said sympathetically. "But everyone's got a skeleton in the closet." 'Some more than others.' Aiden mused. "I think I recall that his sister didn't really have the cleanest of records though." He wanted Madoka to guess and get it right, he really did. Any ally might prove useful now that he tallied up his enemies. The only problem was that he wasn't very good at dropping hints.

Madoka tilted her head. "Cleanest of records?" she asked, curious. She let out a light giggle. "It couldn't be that bad." she insisted. "I mean, not like she killed anybody." she paused. "Er... right?" she asked, unsure. She suddenly felt somewhat scared.

Aiden shrugged. "Maybe, but I think the police might have been after her at some point too." He was very very close to actually breaking his promise, but he hadn't gone out and said she was the notorious gang-leader Hotaru Megumi, now had he?
