"A couple times." Greg replied, still looking ahead of him. It was a little dark, but nowhere near as dark as it would have been if it were later. "I've come here with my brother and some friends, so I know a little bit of what's around here." And if he was right, there should be some bats sleeping not too far off. He turned to Kyou and put a finger over his own mouth, signaling for him to be quiet for now.

Kyou blinked, it was a little too dark for him to see Greg's gesture. "What?" He asked, voice bouncing around the cave. There was a sound a little ahead of them, the rustling of wings perhaps. Kyou shut his mouth immediately, hoping that it would be enough to try and repair some of the damage he had done.

Greg stopped and took a moment to listen to see if they had woken up the bats. Despite for a couple of wings flapping he didn't really hear anything else. He turned back to Kyou again after a few moment. "Sshhh." he muttered quieting before heading off again. Another mess up like that and they probably wouldn't be so lucky.

Kyou blushed, darkness of the cave hiding his red face. At least Greg didn't seem too badly annoyed by his screw up.... A small condolence, but he gave an OK sign with his fingers and moved along with the other 'Tora.'
All the while, the light grew less and less as they headed further and further away from the entrance...

The darker it got in the cave, the more careful Greg was when he walked. He started to walk a little slower so he wouldn't trip or run right into something. The gangster wished he had brought along a flashlight, but now was a little too late for that. It was fine... he just had to watch his step...
Easier said than done. The purple haired teen ended up tripping over a rock and falling over on accident. He caught himself in time thankfully, but now both his hands were out of his pockets. He just hoped it was too dark for Kyou to notice he didn't have a clan bracelet.

Kyou heard the clattering of shifting rocks, as well as the 'whump' of a body hitting the ground hard. The Tora stumbled forward, almost-but-not-quite tripping over Greg. "Are you okay?" He whispered softly, trying to keep his voice from echoing as he helped the teen up.
His eyes wandered to the boy's hands... and he noted absently that Greg must have been rather clever to get the bracelet off without killing himself. Then his common sense filled in, and Kyou's eyes widened. "You lied..." He said softly, pouting. "Being in the clans isn't a bad thing, you know, you didn't have to lie..."
More flapping from their unknown companions made Kyou shut his mouth before he got too far.

The moment Greg stood up her shoved his hands back in his pockets, not that that would do any good at this point. Shit. This wasn't good at all. "You're gonna turn me in, aren't you?" he asked quietly after a few moments. Great, how was he suppose to explain this to Hotaru? She'd never gotten too mad at him before, but he had seen her pretty pissed off before when her and Yusuke had their fights, and he REALLY didn't want that to be him.

Kyou shook his head, eyes widening at his conclusion. "Wh-what? No!" He winced as his voice echoed a bit. "I'm not turning you in... no way, I'm actually impressed you avoided getting sucked into the clans..." And a bit jealous, but with practically free room and board how could he hate the clan? He kicked a stray rock.
"'Sides, 'm sure you'd hate me forever if I did that... and then I'd get read the riot act for talking about the clans with someone who's not a member..." He rubbed the back of his head. "And it's way too much hassle anyway..."

Greg's frown slowly turned back into a smile at Kyou's words. So he wasn't gonna report him! Sweet! "Uh, th-thanks!" he exclaimed a little too loud. His eyes widened when he heard wings flapping and rustling even more now. That'd done it, he knew that for sure. "Run!" the gangster called out to Kyou right before pushing him forward to start running out.

The photographer, stumbled at the push and then started to run as the squeaking and wing-flapping started to increase in volume. Shit! Kyou kept a hand on the other male's wrist so he didn't lose him. There was no way they were going to outrun those bats, but he wasn't about to lose Greg in the cave. Being alone in the flock of bats would be way too scary!

Greg ran as fast as he could. Too bad he wasn't as fast as the bats or else they would have been long gone by now. It wasn't long before the bats flew over them, Greg almost tripped, but kept running anyway. They weren't that far from the entrance he didn't think, he was starting to see a bit of sunlight starting to peak in.

It was perhaps a few seconds before Kyou felt small, furry, mammalian bodies hitting him. Hard. The Tora yelped and ducked his head, pulling his free arm over his skull to try and keep himself uninjured. The swarm of bats surged onward, and soon blotted out the slowly-growing pinprick of light from the entrance and plunged the two young men into squeaky hectic darkness.

Greg mirrored Kyou, covering his head(and lucky hat) with his other arm as the swarm of bats flew over them. If he was going to protect anything on him it was going to be his hat!
Fortunately though, the squeaking stopped and Greg looked up to see the swarm of bats had left them and the light was starting to come back through the entrance once again. The gangster sighed. "Er... my fault, sorry about that." he said, trying to catch his breath.

Kyou slowed to halt beside Greg and panted. Well that was something he wasn't about to try again... being trapped in a swarm of bats: Not. Fun. "S'fine..." He got out, starting to grin again. "At least now we can talk if we go farther in..." Silver lining Kyou, focus on it.

Greg grinned and nodded. "Yeah, good point." he laughed. He leaned up against the cave wall for a moment to catch his breath a little more. "But, let's take, a little break first." he laughed slightly.
