A shiver went through Greg's body as he entered the cemetery, he'd been getting that feeling every time he came to the place. It had been the main reason he'd been avoiding the place lately, but he had to face it sometime. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he knew he didn't like it. The gangster had kept this to himself of course, he didn't want to worry Hotaru, it was probably nothing anyway.
The violet haired teen sighed and stepped through the cemetery, trying his best to ignore the haunting feeling hovering over him. He thought about visiting his mom while he was there, but she probably wouldn't like hear about him being in a gang, she'd be really disappointed.

Kyou sat up in one of the trees of the cemetery. A few people had been by recently, none of them were his sister though. He wasn't sure why he had run off in the first place, and while Ayumu was probably used to him going off for who knew how long with no warning or notice, he doubted that she WOULDN'T be worried.
Like he had been an hour ago when he had first climbed up here, there had been a huge guy with mean eyes and a perpetual scowl on his face that had come in. The dark-haired Tora had pegged him to be a little younger than himself, and had been stuck up in the tree overshadowing the visitor's grave until he had left. Not fun. And now he was stuck. Without his camera to keep him busy, there wasn't much to do but to get down and go back to the HQ...
But that meant Kyou would have to descend the tree... and he wasn't too sure how to do that just yet...
A branch cracked, and his position was jolted, a cold prickling at the back of his neck taking over. Oh shi-
The Tora fell from the tree with a startled yell.

Greg jumped when he saw someone fall from a tree nearby. On instinct he ran to see if the guy was okay. "Hey!" he called as he got to where the other guy was. He tried not to frown when he saw a clan bracelet on him. He quickly shoved his hands in his pockets to try to hide his wrist, he didn't want to get reported or anything, but it still wouldn't hurt for him to check on the guy right?

A voice filtered through the brain of the fallen Tora, who rose to a sitting position after a moment. The words were a jumbled mess to Kyou and he rubbed at the back of his head as he tried to make sense of them. "Wh...wha..?" He managed to get out before hissing as his fingers found where his head had hit the ground. That was tender... ow...
The rest of his body felt a bit disconnected and numb, a buzzing going through the limbs. The photographer supposed that was what it fell like when you fell ten feet from a tree... Nothing felt broken though, so that was good.

"Hey man, you okay?" Greg asked him. "That was kinda a long fall..." he trailed off. Okay, kind of a stupid thing to say he'd admit, but he wasn't sure what else to say. It was already awkward enough for him. He held a hand out to him to help him up, keeping the other tucked away in his pocket just to be on the safe side.

Kyou blinked again and nodded, reaching for the offered hand and pulling himself up. "I think I'm okay..." The other guy was younger than him, but the Tora wasn't sure by how much... maybe four years or so? The photographer doubted that the teen would guess his age right, he looked.... younger, though that was mostly due to his crippling shyness without Ayumu, and his clinging to her when she was around.
"Um... thanks, uh..." The Tora blinked and rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't think I've seen you around.... I'm Kyou..." He held out his hand for a handshake. Now that his head was beginning to stop pounding he could focus more on the handsome teen in front of him. He just hoped his habit of blushing wouldn't kick in. That was the last thing he needed right now.

Greg shook his hand and smiled. "Name's Greg." he introduced himself. While he looked completely calm on the outside, inside he was still a little worried. Boss wouldn't like him talking to someone in one of the clans, it was really risky if he did find out Greg wasn't in a clan. He had to keep calm though, it'd only make things worse if he started to look nervous. He didn't acknowlegde the comment about not seeing him before, it wasn't like everyone in all the clans knew each other, right? "What're ya doin in a tree here of all places?" he asked curiously.

Kyou gave a small laugh. "Um... that's 'cause there was this mean-looking guy that came in here, and I didn't wanna get beat up..." So he had hid, like a coward... Oh who was he kidding? He'd take being a live coward than a brave corpse any day. Though he doubted that the latter would ever have a chance to happen. The photographer glanced down and scratched his cheek in embarrassment. He must seem really lame...

Greg blinked, followed by a small chuckle. "I gotcha." he grinned. He noticed Kyou's embarrassment and decided to do something about it. "Nothin' to be ashamed of, even the toughest of guys get scared every now and then." he tried. "I'd personally take running off over fighting any day." He'd prefer it that way, but he knew that wasn't really acceptable in his case.

Kyou's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and he smiled. That... that had actually helped. "Good to know I'm not the only one. Although it's pathetic when your sister's tougher than you, but I doubt you have that problem..." He'd seen Ayumu snap once when they got into the clans. He just remembered that he had been getting picked on for some reason, and the blond had just... snapped. Not to mention that she could crush him if she wanted to (the Death Hugs were enough proof of that).

Greg laughed and shrugged. "Eh, don't have a sister, but I got a brother that'd I'd say's tougher than me." he said. "I was kinda a wimp 'til he got a hold'a me." he scratched his cheek, still grinning a little. Those were the good days, when Yusuke was just a somewhat bothersome step brother that deep down really cared. Now, he was more of an(keep in mind this is a quote from Hotaru and not him)'arrogant pigheaded bastard that doesn't know when enough is enough'.

"Ah, but you got better is the thing." Kyou said, starting to smile. The whole thing seemed to be turning into a contest of who was a bigger wimp. "I however, have stayed the same wimp I was during middle school." He had made up hundreds of excuses to get out of gym in high school, so it was a pretty accurate statement. He just didn't see the point in getting all hot and sweaty and tired when he could work on making his photos better.

Greg just rolled his eyes a little, still grinning a little as he tugged on his hat like he usually did. "So do you want me to call you a wimp or somethin'?" he asked him. "That's kind of how it sounds right about now." Greg wasn't one to discourage people, not without a good reason at least, but he did speak his mind when he saw it fit to.

Kyou blinked and laughed, scratching his cheek. "Good point... forget I said anything." The Tora dropped his hand and stuck it into his pockets, starting to rock back and forth on his feet as he realized that yes, he had been standing for about a minute with no real motion thank you kindly. "So what are YOU doing in the graveyard, Greg?" He decided to try. If the teen was visiting someone then Kyou decided he'd have to leave the guy alone. It was probably a private sort of thing.

Huh, what should he say here? Eh, a little lie wouldn't hurt. "Er, just got done visiting my mom." he said, taking his hat off for a second and scratching his head, another habit he had that he never saw the important of getting rid of. "It'd been a while so I kinda owed her." he shrugged. He didn't like using his mother as an excuse for anything, but he'd make it up to her, if he could. He wasn't too sure how to pay back the dead without the need of a cult or something.
