3rd memory ღ action.

[Not recognizing his room in the morning wasn't all that new to him. After the accident it took a little time for the new memories to properly connect every morning. It had only been about two weeks since he lost all his memories, so at first he didn't panic. He sat quietly in the bed waiting for either the new memories to connect or for Seimei to come into great him and remind him of what he was forgetting.]

Wait... this... isn't my room. [After a few unsettling moments of his mind not being able to place the setting, Ritsuka starts to worry. He finally realizes that this isn't just not his room... this isn't even his house!] Seimei? Seimei!

[Ritsuka tries to call for his brother, but when Seimei never comes, his panic turns into fear. The room starts to feel dangerous and constricting, so the child doesn't hesitate to leave. Luckily he seems to have fallen asleep fully clothed so he makes his escape quickly. Once outside he felt less claustrophobic, but still very lost. Nothing looks even a little familiar. After the amnesia, not recognizing his home wasn't uncommon, but in the last two weeks he never remembered seeing and cobble stone streets in the neighborhood.]

Where am I...? [He says to himself in a trembling voice and takes a seat on a nearby bench, tucking his knees under his chin and trying to be as small and unnoticeable as possible. He wasn't sure what to do next, usually he'd just wait for Seimei to come and take care of him, but what if Seimei couldn't find him? Tears of frustration sting his eyes but he doesn't let them fall. Crying never solved anything and it was only going to make this problem worse. He just needed to think.]

Don't cry, stupid. That's not going to help...

((ooc: Take from age ten, two weeks after loosing all his memories in his canon. Sorry if it's confusing. u.u))

Traverse Town. That is what this place is called. --Are you all right?

[In his panic, Ritsuka didn't notice he was being watched. So when the man appears from seemingly no where, Ritsuka is visibly startled, despite Alucard's intentions.]

H-huh? [He asks meekly.] I don't know... I think I'm lost.

Did you not meet a moogle, little one?

[The cloak is massive on him and he curls up even tighter when the man draws near. Still, he seems helpful, but Seimei said it wasn't wise to talk to strangers. Still when you're all alone and there is nothing but strangers to help you, was silence still wise?

Ritsuka opted for no and shakes his head at the stranger's question.]

No... I don't know what that is... Should I? [Was that something else he's forgotten?]

It's no matter. They are simply creatures that assist those who are lost, such as yourself. If you wish me to leave, I will. I don't mean to cause you discomfort.

[Ritsuka had noticed the massive height. He was even bigger than Seiemi, but that didn't bother him. It's just that the last time he felt so lost was when he woke up in the hospital with no memory, only this time it was more confusing.]

I-It's not that, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude... [He stammers meekly, thinking he's offended the man in someway.]

I just, never been so lost before a-and I don't remember how I got to this place...

Not at all. You have every reason to be wary. ...Unfortunately, I do not have good news, if you are just arriving to this place.

You have been taken away from your world by an entity of Darkness. Many of us have, including myself. I'm very sorry.

Ritsuka-kun! Where are you!

[Ritsuka is pulled out of his frantic thoughts when he hears someone calling a familiar name... wait.. that was his name! Finally something he remembered. Ritsuka pushes himself off the bench and goes to find the source. The voice was far to high to be Seimei's but too youthful to be his mother.]

H-hello?

[He stops just a bit away from the girl and frowns. He didn't recognize her... Why did she know his name? No one told him he knew any young girls.] Do you know me?

Ye...Yes I do. We're friends.

[Ritsuka stared at her curiously. The girl looked ready to cry, was she lost to? He feels a little sorry that he can't remember her, but she didn't look at all familiar to him. Was she a friend of the real Ritsuka?]

I'm sorry, I ...can't remember... but don't cry. Just... [His ears drop and he has a guilty look on his face. This was another person he stole the real Ritsuka from. Someone else he was making sad.] I'm sorry...

It's fine, maybe I was thinking of someone else. My name's Yuiko.

[Ritsuka to is fidgeting nervously, waiting to see what she'd do next. Was she going to cry? Get angry like his mother? Is she going to be another person that looks at him with sadness and disappointment?

Then she started to smile. It looks like a nice smile, but he's pretty sure it's fake like all the others he's seen. Only Seimei was ever happy to see him.]

No... It's okay. You don't have to lie, I know I'm not what people expect.

[He murmurs meekly. Not sounding at all like the bossy or grumpy boy he usually was around Yuiko. He looks up at her nervously, wondering if she also knew where they were.] Hello, Yuiko-san. D-do you, know where we are?

[A slightly younger boy wandering around pauses as he sees Ritsuka. It takes a moment of staring at the ears and tail before he approaches. Even with all the things he's been exposed to, that's still weird to him.

But eventually, he does come closer.]

Are you lost?

[Ritsuka's ears perk up when he hears a voice, before he lifts his head curiously. His hands move to wipe at his eyes, making sure there were no embarrassing tears there.]

I-I think so...

[It was a small boy, that looked even younger that him... but he had no ears. Ritsuka looks confused and a little worried now. What kind of place has he wandered into?! Why was there a child with no ears?!]

Do you know this place?

((ooc: Just to clear up any confusion. Not having your ears and tail = Lost your virginity in Ritsuka's world. S-so sorry Loveless is so weird. u.u))

[And the ears even move. It's enough to distract him from the movement to hide the tears. Even if he had seen, he had been in a similar position recently enough to not ask any rude questions.

He nods.]

It's called Traverse Town.

[OOC: I've heard about that some. It's fine~]

I don't know that name... [The cat ears lower back down anxiously.]

Is it far from Tokyo? ...A-are you here against your will?

[The answer to the last question he's fearful of the most.]

I've never heard of Tokyo.

[He frowns and hunches slightly at Ritsuka's last question.]

...What do you mean?

Never hear- [Did that mean they weren't even in Japan anymore?!]

I-I mean were we kidnapped? I don't... really remember how I got to this place.

[Soubi had known something was wrong when he had come to Ritsuka's room and not found anyone. Ritsuka is so fastidious; his timing is almost never off. Immediately starting to worry, he had hurried out the nearest door onto the street to find him. It wasn't until he actually did find him that he had started to panic.

Ritsuka looks smaller, thinner than usual. Almost sickly. His skin is pale and his hair seems shorter and less glossy than usual. But the really worrying thing is his posture. He sits in a fetal position, chin on his knees, with tear-stained, young eyes, staring in confusion at the world around him. For a moment Soubi thinks that Ritsuka must have become extremely sick, thrown up all night and never called him, somehow become confused and disoriented in the morning -

No. Ritsuka is younger. He doesn't just look young and small; he's definitely younger. And that confused, frightened look...

Heart in his throat, Soubi races over. It doesn't occur to him yet that this might scare Ritsuka: he needs to see if Ritsuka remembers him.]

Ritsuka! Ritsuka, what happened to you?

[Ritsuka doesn't notice the stranger watching him and continues to frantically try and think of solutions. The police? But where are they? There are a few people around, maybe they would know... but what if they are the ones that brought me here? Was I kidnapped? How did this happen?!

He gives a small sob and then frantically brushes at his eyes in embarrassment. It's then that he notices a man rushing towards him. Instantly, Ritsuka feels fear run through him and thinks it's someone trying to bring him back to that strange room! He tries to will himself too run, but he's too disoriented and scared to move. All he can do is stare with wide eyes when the stranger starts to question him. It takes awhile for Ritsuka to remember how to speak again and when he finally does, his words are shaky and almost hard to hear.]

D-do you know me...?

[Soubi freezes and feels his stomach drop. There is no hint in Ritsuka's eyes of recognition: the boy is perhaps even more scared than he seemed before to see him. He drops to one knee in front of him, making sure that they are at eye-level. He does not come any closer nor reach out to touch him. His voice is soft and calming, though his heart is racing. This Ritsuka is not his master... he has no idea how to handle a Fighter... Soubi will have to take the lead again.]

Yes, Ritsuka, I do. My name is Soubi. I was sent here by - your brother - to find you.

[It's the truth, really, though he can't keep the quaver out of his voice as he mentions Seimei. His former master would have killed him for using his name in a half-truth.]

[Ritsuka curls up even tighter when the stranger kneels down. what is he doing? Is he some kind of weirdo...? He watches in stunned silence almost missing Soubi's word completely. That is... until he said that name.]

S-Seimei! You know Seimei?!

[He stands up quickly, he expression growing brighter and more hopeful.] I knew he'd find me. Where is he? Where's Seimei?!

[The small voice is so full of adoration and relief. Seimei always looked out for him, he's almost ashamed of himself for doubting in his brother.]

[He watches as Ritsuka stands, not changing his own kneeling position. Yes, definitely shorter. And thinner, too. But that smile helps - it lights up his face with the innocence that this Ritsuka still possesses, at some level.

...He really doesn't want to give the answer he knows he has to. He grimaces inwardly, but tries to keep his tone neutral.]

He isn't here right now. He sent me to look after you.

[His hopeful smile starts to drop when he's told Seimei isn't here.]

He sent you? [He looks at this strange adult kneeling before him. How was Seimei associated with this man? Why was Seimei sending an adult Ritsuka didn't know to look after him? Still, Ritsuka wanted to believe that Seimei was looking for him, so very little hesitation, he takes a cautious step loser to Soubi.]

How do you know my brother? You look too old to go to school with him...
