Oichi likes the sound of that. And she is just about to get up and go with him, when a shift of her leg results in a clanking sound. She immediately stops because she remembered the "promise".

It had been a way of ensuring she didn't leave on her own. The chain which everyone reminded her of every time they left her on her own. 'Remember. As long as you have that, you're not allowed to leave. If you leave, you'll be punished. No one loves someone that breaks a promise.'

She tucks her leg back under her with a rustle of metal being dragged over a wooden floor.

"....Ichi...can't."

[atleast80]

The sight of that chain was almost enough to make him leave the room and kill every last one of those bastards painfully and with great prejudice.

Hyoubu couldn't though. Out of all of P.A.N.D.R.A. he was the only one powerful enough to restrain her if it came to it. That's why he'd sent Magi and the others to take care of everyone else.

"Why not?"

[higannobana]

"Because Ichi made a promise."

And it had been a pinky promise.

"If Ichi lets the chain break, then bad things will happen..."

[atleast80]

"Ah, is that all?" He smiled at her. "You don't have to worry about that! They said that I can take you away so you're not bound by the promise you made them any more."

Hyoubu was an incredibly convincing liar when he needed to be.

[higannobana]

"So...even if the chain is broken, Ichi won't be abandoned...? Ichi won't be left all alone...?"

He didn't need to be convincing with someone who believed everything she was told.

[atleast80]

"Never." He reached out to place a hand on her cheek. "You will never be alone ever again, I promise."

[higannobana]

"Pinky promise?"

She holds up one hand to him, pinky finger extended.

[atleast80]

He stares for a moment before letting out a short 'hn' that might have been a laugh. He brings his hand up and linked his pinky with hers.

"Pinky promise."

[higannobana]

She completes the pinky promise with a sing-song voice, "Whoever breaks the promise...loses a tooth...okay?"

Oichi starts standing up, hesitating for just a moment until a tendril of smoke slams down on the chain, severing it. There's still the sound of dragging though, as she stands up.

[atleast80]

"Okay."

He watches the tendril sever the chain impassively. Due to the fact that they tend to use multiple powers together, it's rare for most Synthetic Power Types to reach an incredibly high level with a few exceptions like pure teleporters.

This woman however, was one of those exceptions. If Hyoubu had to make a guess, he'd say very few of the Synthetic Power Types within the senior rank of Pandra could match up to her.

He flicked his wrist, aiming not for the chain (or what was left of it), but for the shackle on her foot. Everything that opens has a weak point, all he had to do was apply a bit of pressure in the right place and...

The shackle came off with a quiet 'click' and 'clink' as opened then fell to the ground.

He held out a hand to Oichi. "Shall we go?"

[higannobana]

She takes a step toward him, and wobbles a bit awkwardly. Hidden under the folds of her robes, the ankle that had been chained is red and raw. She takes another step anyways.

[atleast80]

Hyoubu sees the wobble and it doesn't take him long to figure out why. Those damned Normals...

He kept that raging anger under-control though. There was something much more important right now. He reached out and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Wait." He bent down a little and, placing one arm across her back and another under her knees. Then, with a little help from his psychokinesis, he'll try to pick her up, princess style.

[higannobana]

Oichi doesn't struggle, although the hands do hover for the briefest moment before disappearing when it seems like there is no threat. She blinks at him, hands in her lap and waiting for what is going to happen next.

[atleast80]

He smiled down at her, a sad but sincere smile.

"Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."

[higannobana]

One hand comes up to brush against that sad smile, which leaves Oichi unhappy for reasons that she cannot name, "Why do you look sad........?"

[atleast80]

He looked away, facing forward as he started to walk towards the door. The smile remained.

"Why indeed...I suppose it's because I don't like the thought of you being left in the dark."

[higannobana]

She frowns, because the smile is still there. What could she do to make that smile go away.

Oh.

With a hopeful, helpful tone, she recites, "Sadness...sadness...fly away. Fly...away..."

Making a fluttering motion with her hands, she shifts, smoky hands flaring up briefly to support her, as she leans up and presses a kiss against his cheek before smiling brilliantly at him.

[atleast80]

He looked down when he heard her starting to speak. What came afterwards though, left him speechless and was actually enough to make him stop for a moment.

Did she just...?

(The smile was definitely gone at this point.)

[higannobana]

Oh. It worked.

Her smile brightens now that his sad one is gone, and she settles back down against him.

[atleast80]

He tightens his hold on her for a moment. Not so tight that he'd cause her any discomfort. Just...tighter, as if he was afraid of dropping her. He wasn't entirely sure how to react to what just happened.

He was a little glad when Momotarou floated over.

Kyousuke, are you finished?

"Yeah. Ichi, this is Momotarou. Even though he might not look it, he's really very dependable."

[higannobana]

Oichi isn't even fazed by what she just did. As far as she was concerned too, it was over and done with and put out of her mind.

"Momotarou."

She wasn't sure if she was supposed to reach her hand out to the creature, so she keeps holding onto Hyoubu instead. Momotarou though, is curious and flies closer.

[atleast80]

Ichi? Like the number?

"No. Like the name of the sister of a certain feudal lord who has no relation to the current situation." He almost made a jab at Momotarou's lack of knowledge about history but decided to save that for another day. He didn't need to start an argument with Momotarou right now.

Momotarou flew over and hovered near her, waving one paw in greeting.

It's nice to meet you, Ichi.

[higannobana]

Oichi reaches out a finger hesitantly, poking that one paw, "Momotarou...Momotarou is talking in Ichi's head."

She looks wonderingly up at Hyoubu for an explanation.

[atleast80]

"He's an esper like us. He'll be part of your family from now on."

That's right! I'll help protect you from now on! He drifted closer to her, heedless of the fact that she was the woman who was known as the Demon Queen. I'm really strong, you know.

[higannobana]

"Stronger than Ichi?"

Because that would be really strong indeed.
