When Hirashike heard Ryouko say his name his heart quickened in his chest, but that feeling didn't last. The warmth and love he felt whenever she said his name or he heard her voice vanished in a flood of worry and concern as he listened to her words. He wished suddenly that he was there with her rather then here. Wished he could pull her into his arms and simply hold her.<br/><br/>"Ryouko, love, shhh it's ok. Everything will  be ok," he said in a stead voice. His words holding a calm he certainly didn't feel. The drawing forgotten on his bed with the charcoal sticks lying on the bed he was already walking the length of his apartment he grabbed his car keys and locked his door even as he spoke. "I'm coming. I'll be there in 3 minutes. I'm not leaving you alone babygirl."<br/><br/>He took the stairs from his top floor penthouse apartment to the lower garage. He was breathing heavily as he reached the bottom haven run down the stairs at full speed. He was panting for breath as he beeped his<a class="postlink" href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/05/11/article-1385904-0C0022B000000578-66_634x352.jpg">car</a>slid into the drivers seat and revved the engine to life. The car was standard and the squeel of tires was all that marked his quick departure as the black car flew down the road. The pavement streaking in blinding swirls in his wake. It didn't even take him 3 minutes to reach her place. He was that worried about his girlfriend. He didn't even stop at red lights he just went faster through them. He never stopped or slowed until he reached her building. He threw the car in park got out and raced to her embracing her tightly in his arms the moment he saw her.<br/><br/>---<br/><br/>Ryu laughed and took the glass "f**king right," he declared and downed the glass in one shot. He laughed and enjoyed the taste. He wasn't one for talking or toasts anyways. He'd have rather taken his sake straight from the bottle. He'd be half way drunk already, but some people had issues with his rather savage behaviour. So when he drank with others around he tried to at 'least' use glasses. Until he was drunker then well one glass would get him.<br/><br/>He took up the bottle and poured himself another glass. He'd been given permission to get drunk and that was exactly what he intended. He didn't drink wine. So he didn't care if Cui drank it all and then some. He would drink Sake and anything stronger then that. But for now Sake was his chosen poison.<br/><br/>He thought back to the first time he'd ever tasted the stuff. When Yutaka had given him a bottle of it on his first 'successful mission' after he drank the whole bottle he'd been so drunk he'd forgotten the rest of the evening. It made him smile. He'd enjoy the feeling of being drunk. It was awesome and a bit of coffee in the morning took the edge off his hang over so it never really bothered him at all. He was going to get drunk and party tonight that was his plan. He laughed. A sound that was so rare for him to make it would probably be startling if everyone didn't know he got rowdy and loud when he drank and he got even more carefree and uncouth.
