[saxsongs]

Rating: PG; will change if needed
Log:

[They had all gathered to a room at an inn in northern Goldenrod. There was a Gardevoir in the room, watching the door to see if anyone was listening outside.

It was time to tell the truth to Natsuki and Shou. Ren had planned everything he would say to others and hoped that they would take it somewhat calmly.

Ren told them how it was possible to become the member of Team Rocket right from the very beginning and how it didn't matter if you wanted to become one or not. This was what had happened to Haruka and Hijirikawa as well as Ren himself.]

Basically our job is to do mission. Most common one of them is stealing. I've been in the Team for months and I haven't done anything worse than that. [He shoots a glance at Hijirikawa, just in case.]

Before you ask - there is a way to get out of the Team. I have a plan for that as well, so I just need your co-operation. [Well, at least a plan to get Haruka out and that was the most important thing.]

Though before that. Any questions? I'll answer everything honestly and I'm sure Haruka and Hijirikawa will both do the same.

Eh? ...







... is that bad too?

[ Yes. He doesn't realize that himself. ]

[syochan]

Don't add anything unnecessary! It ruins the natural taste! You're supposed to follow recipes exactly, you know!

[ he's getting a headache now, as per usual when he tries to figure out Natsuki's "logic" ]


Nanami won't like it if you can't follow the directions.

[ he might as well add that bit of advice too, for Natsuki's sake. ]

[gemini_prince]

[ USING HARUKA! SHOU! YOU DON'T PLAY FAIR! Such a cowardly route. >.> ]

She won't? [ Haruka will hate him then? He couldn't have that! ]

Even if ... it brings out a nice taste?

[syochan]

[ It's not cowardly, he's doing the smart thing mentioning this to Natsuki! A-And maybe he's just looking out for you in his own weird way, idiot! ]

Honestly, you might as well not try to "bring out the taste" in anything!


...If it's good on it's own, then it's good. Isn't that what matters?

At least, I think that's what Nanami would think. She... doesn't need a lot to really appreciate something.


Just -- consider this as advice, okay?!

[gemini_prince]

[ What is this? This is very interesting information! FOllowing the instructions in a cookbook will make Haruka-chan happy?

Consider it done then!

He nods. ] I understand, Syo-chan.

[saxsongs]

[While it wasn't nice being glared at from more than one direction (since that was the default face Hijirikawa made at him), Ren was glad it wasn't any worse. Then again, Haruka was there so of course no one would dream about hitting him or anything while she was there.]

All you would need to worry about is getting the princess as far away from here as possible. I would deal with the rest. [He leans against the wall.] After two weeks of time you can return here if you so wish, but it would be good to avoid larger cities until then.

[saxsongs]

[Ren's just enjoying some Italian food in a corner table by himself... well almost. He has a Dratini out, enjoying some Pokémon food, to keep him company.]

[saxsongs]

[Ren's giving others some time alone with Haruka while he's checking his gear for new messages. At the same time he's talking with Ringo the Gardevoir about if there had been anything suspicious going on. Luckily, they seem to be safe.]

[gemini_prince]

Ren, we need to talk ...

[ Taking the seat in front of him. ]

[saxsongs]

About? [Even if he has a faint guess.]

[gemini_prince]

You talked about getting Nanami-chan out of Team Rocket.

What about you and Masa-kun? We need to get you both out too.

[saxsongs]

[Ah... that. Ren looked away.]

We can get Hijirikawa out the same way as Haruka. [If the idiot would say yes to help, that is.] But you don't have to worry about me.

[gemini_prince]

No. Syo-chan and I couldn't possibly do that.

We're Starish, aren't we? And besides ... leaving you both behind ...

... you know it will make Haruka-chan sad.

[saxsongs]

I know. [He knows it very well, which is why he hasn't really talked about it with her. Even mentioning that he'd say behind would have made her sad.]

It's just that I still have something I need to do. I can't leave. Not yet.

[gemini_prince]

You don't have to do it alone. Let us help.

[saxsongs]

It's not something you can help with. [He looks at Natsuki again. Sure, they could deliver the information he takes for him, but it would just be too risky.]

I appreciate it, but this is something I'll do alone.

[gemini_prince]

Do you think it would that be easy? No. We are involved whether you like it or not.

[ ... ]

I don't like it, but we are still part of the same team. I'm not going to leave a friend alone.

I think Syo-chan ... will feel the same. [ If he wasn't so tsun. ]

[saxsongs]

[Ren lets out a sigh. Of course they wouldn't let go so easily.]

This is why I didn't want to tell you anything. [He murmurs as he massages his temples.]

It's important that I don't look suspicious in the eyes of the team. Helping Haruka out is already risking it greatly.

[gemini_prince]

Don't worry. Syo-chan and I can continue to do what we always do. We'll take care of Haruka-chan too.

But we are planning to come back for you and Masa-chan.

[saxsongs]

["Always do" ... poor Shou.]

I'm counting on you on that.

Like I said, we can get Hijirikawa out, should he want our help. [Though he'd most likely go to jail like a good citizen he is... which is why Ren couldn't just hide in the base for two weeks. Hijirikawa would most likely turn him in.]

[heartandsong]

[Smile!]

I've missed you too, Syo-kun! [So much. She'd missed everyone so much. She was alone for a week "training" before she figured out what to do and how to contact others.... She missed her other friends.

Though, Syo's question threw her off.]

America..? I... [She shakes her head 'no']

[heartandsong]

[If she could, she'd gasp in shock. That was rather sudden! He'd never done that before...at least...not in her timeline...]

I-I've missed you too, Shinomiya-san.

[gemini_prince]

Are you alright? They haven't hurt you, have they?

[ Those mean people who are making their dear Haruka-chan steal! ]

[gemini_prince]

Haha ... I don't think Masa-chan will like that ...

[syochan]

You -- understand?

[ THIS IS A FIRST. ]

You'll follow what I say?

[ HE TOTALLY DOESN'T SOUND HOPEFUL. NOPE. NOT AT ALL. ]
