Kyou just nodded and slumped against the wall, trying to keep his breath in his lungs where he needed it. Considering he avoided most physical exertion like the plague, they had ran pretty fast. He definitely needed the time to recuperate.
A few minutes passed and he got to his feet. "Alright, 'm ready, how 'bout you?"

Greg looked back at Kyou and nodded, standing up straight. "Yeah, let's go." he grinned, starting to back back further into the cave. "Hopefully we don't get any visitors this time." he said with another laugh. Hopefully was the keyword. The bats were gone, but who knew what else was in the cave?

Kyou nodded. "Yeah, hopefully." He had his money on rats showing up next. Or a BIG crocodile. Or who knew, maybe a lion would pop out of nowhere this time. He flicked the side of his head to get himself to focus again. He started after Greg again, wishing they had brought a flashlight.

Greg kept walking, this time letting his hands rest at his sides instead of keeping them in his pockets. There wasn't really a point now that Kyou knew he wasn't in any of the clans. "So you're not mad that I lied or anything...?" he asked Kyou, still a little worried about the situation.

Kyou shrugged. "I'm a little mad, but you had your reasons for lying I guess, so I'll get over it." He grinned. "I mean, being able to get out of the clans is actually pretty awesome. You get a whole lot more freedom and all..."

"I guess..." Greg muttered. "I wouldn't really call it awesome, it's a pain to tell you the truth. Always gotta run and it's not like I can make new friends without risking gettin' in trouble or anything." he shrugged. "But I guess that's just me." he laughed a little. He didn't want to sound like a complainer, it made him sound like an ass.

Always have to run...? That didn't sound right to the Tora. Wasn't Greg just one of those kids with rich parents who bought their kids' ways out of the clans? "But... if you're rich, why can't you just... y'know, do whatever?" He looked puzzled. "That's how everyone out of the clans that I know of is out of it: rich families... Isn't it the same with you?"

Greg's eyes widen for a moment. Craaaap, he messed up again! He sighed and let out another nervous laugh. "I kinda thought it was obvious," he told Kyou. "I'm not rich, far from it actually." he tugged his hat down slightly. "I'm a runaway, gang and all that stuff." He muttered. "That's... kinda why I didn't wanna tell you..."

Kyou blinked. "That... clears things up I guess..." He finally managed. A gang... Greg seemed too nice for that... But it did make sense, Kyou just hoped that the teen knew what he was doing...

Greg sighed, he recognized that tone. "I ran away with my brother after our parents died." Might as well admit a few things. "He was the one that wanted to join the gang, I stayed with him 'cause I didn't wanna be alone." but now he was glad he stayed, otherwise he wouldn't have met Eva or Hotaru. He kicked a rock. "So yeah. That's basically it."

Kyou nodded. "I gotcha." And in a way, he did. If Ayumu had joined up with a gang, he'd have done the same thing for the same reason as Greg. "...I'm still not going to turn you in, so don't worry about that." He gave what he hoped was a reassuring smile to the Tora.

Greg's smile returned when he heard Kyou's words. "Thanks." he said. Well, he knew what he was doing, as long as he was careful he doubted anything would happen to him. "So, enough of my life story, let's go see what else we can find, huh?" he grinned.

Kyou laughed. "Yeah, let's go!" And with that the Tora grabbed the gangster's wrist for the second time, and charged deeper into the cave. It would be near pitch-dark in a little while, but who cared? It was FUN and that was the important part.

Greg was really starting to regret not bringing a flashlight right about then. Sure, he loved adventure, but what was the point if you could see whatever you were looking around for? Oh well, he guessed his eyes would just get use to the dark over time. Still, it wouldn't hurt to ask. "Hey, what're we gonna do if we can't see anything?" he asked Kyou curiously.

Kyou blinked and hummed in thought. "Uh... feel around like blind people and hope we find some glow-in-the-dark moss or something?" He tried. It was a longshot for the moss, but unless the cave was an entrance into catacombs they wouldn't get lost. It would probably just be a straight shot both ways.
