=Haruko and Remi 1= The other person on the phone consists of one Remi Okui. "Hi? Haruko? It's Remi. Are you alone?" "Ummm... I was just wondering if you could tell Kaede to come to the hospital. But don't tell him I said that. He might not come if you do." "Umm... Well..." She pauses. "... I guess it's not important. Not really." "Well... the hospital's only open so late, and..." "Okay." =Haruko and Remi 2= And Remi answers. "Hello?" "Oh." "No.... that's okay. I think I'd rather be left alone right now." She doesn't say anything to that. "Bye." *click* =Kyon and Chikako= Chikako picks up. "Chikako here. Hello?" * Kyon smirks, and it carries into his voice. "Never answer your messages?" "Huh? This thing records messages? That's so cool!" * Kyon shakes his head quickly. "Remind me to show you how to work it. Your mom didn't tell you I called?" "Huh? She didn't tell me." * Kyon shrugs tersely. "Didn't tell her to pass it along. Figured she might have mentioned it, though. What've you been up to?" "Working on the paper. It's so cool!" * Kyon nods quickly. "Any good new stories?" He gets out to his bike, and moves to attach his bag to it. "Arisu brought in one that's pretty cool. Ah! That reminds me, it sounds a lot like you guys." * Kyon smirks. "Think about the reasons why that might be." "Hmmmm... I dunno!" * Kyon unloads his helmet from the back. "Gave her an interview about it. Provided she didn't use our names. And you can't, either." "Oh." * Kyon blows out a breath. "If I'd heard from you, I'd have given you one." His tone becomes a bit awkward. "Was worried." "I'm cool. Just been kinda busy recently. I was gonna go see you guys in a few more minutes, though." "Everyone's already gone. I'm down by my bike. Going to head over to the hockey ace's. Want in?" "It's cool." "Just give me a bit to finish up, okay?" * Kyon nods quickly. "Sure. Meet me by the bike?" "Cool."
