"you played me into the memory of all your pain" ✖ video + action ✖ foredated to tomorrow

[no. your eyes are not playing tricks on you.]

[right there, smack dab in the middle of the entry hall to the manner is a small bundle of green sweatshirt and a light purple skirt. she's got on knee high stockings of the childish patterned variety, and shiny brown leather shoes.]

[and although the child is rather cute herself, there's nothing adorable or endearing about the earwrenching scream she just let out, nor is her face - slightly pudgy but in a babyfat sort of way children under the age of ten are allowed - anywhere near as cute as it normally is, not when her cheeks have been stained a ruddy red by the numerous tears she's seemed to be able to shed since she just found herself here.]

[and yes. upon closer inspection, you MAY realize it's a childish version of Minatsuki Takami. or you may just be haunted by the fact that her big brown eyes are slightly familiar. it's not exactly like either she nor Yoh carries around pictures of what they looked like when they were little and, in fact, most of them were burned.]

[but really. don't think about baby pictures, milk carton missing posters, or children's beauty pagents, especially when she pitches her head back and all but screams: ]

I WANT MY MOMMY! I WANT HER NOW! SOMEONE FIND ME MY MOOOOOOMMY!

[before returning to her tantrum]

[ooc: okay. Mina's seven. pre earthquake. she won't remember anyone she talks to, even Yoh until he can convince her that he's her big brother. she will, however, remember everything when she is her original age again. but until then, enjoy the cuteness that comes with her lot!]

[There is a six year old version of Aoko moving towards Mina looking mighty concerned because of all the yelling]

You can't find your mommy?

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[tearful and tiny, Mina lifts her hands to rub at her eyes]

I - no. No I'm lost.

[abluechild.livejournal.com]

[Oh, hang on! She hands her a handkerchief]

Aoko can't find her Daddy... maybe we can look together?

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[she sniffs, and takes the hanky with no idea what to do with it.]

I - I wanna go hooooome.

[kobatonotdobato.livejournal.com]

Are you okay little one?

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

N - no...! I can't - I can't find my mommy. I'm lost!

[kobatonotdobato.livejournal.com]

Then how about we go look for her okay?

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[sniffle]

O - okay...

[kobatonotdobato.livejournal.com]

Then lets go and look for her I'm sure she's missing you.

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[Mina sniffles, wiping the back of her sleeve along her face before nodding and standing up.]

O - okay.

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

Well if you keep yelling like that, she won't come back.

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

That's not truuuuuue! You're lying!

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

Then why isn't she here?

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

She... She must be lost.

[lildevilkaoru.livejournal.com]

This house isn't that big, if she was here then wouldn't she have found you by now. After all you were pretty loud.

[Professor Snape billows down the hallway, face screwed up in annoyance.]

I'm certain she's not here, girl, so be quiet.

[Though the girl does seem...oddly familiar.]

Re: [In Person]

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

But she's gotta be here! [the child insisted, and while she wasn't screaming any more, heavy tears still coursed down her face]

I - I wouldn't be here if she wasn't!

Re: [In Person]

[He cocks an eyebrow at her.]

Infallible though your logic is, I'm afraid you might be mistaken. Why don't you go find her on your own?

Re: [In Person]

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[as utterly scared as she was, Minatsuki made a face and straightened her back where she sat in the middle of the hall.]

When I'm lost, I'm not supposed to move. If I move, Mommy won't remember where she last saw me.

Re: [In Person]

[jadedserpent.livejournal.com]

Very well then. If you think your mother's going to show up if you stand still, then do that. I've got other concerns besides you.

[Yoh Takami is 17, he has just helped to murder his father. He recognizes that scream and comes running to the source. He is loyal only to his sister and the sound of her voice will draw him out like a dog to its master, the sound of her upset will put him on the warpath, a guard dog ready to bite anyone who comes too close]

Minatsuki!?

[He finds her just as she screams for their mother. Yoh blinks, staring at his much younger sister in confusion]

[In Person]

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[see, she's used to the nine year old Yoh. the one that pulls her hair and told her that her dolly died and that they had to bury her in the sandbox, only to later reveal that dolly had been alive the whole time and that the two of them had buried her alive.]

[seeing a 'big boy' version of him is unnerving, both because she cannot immediately place a name, even if the features are familiar.]

Daddy, I -

[she paused... no, familiar or otherwise, that wasn't it. Minatsuki appeared on the verge of tears again.]

Y - you're not my daddy...

[In Person]

[a-damned-liar.livejournal.com]

[That was so long ago, back when things were simple. Normal. Back when his biggest fear was his mother finding out.... Back before he knew his father was capable of abuse and rape. Back before his mother's bones were mashed to goo in their fallen house.]

Don't be scared, it's not dad. It's me, it's Yoh.

[He doesn't know HOW this is happening. He doesn't know if he's dreaming or what. But he does know that this is Minatsuki and he will do anything to protect her. As evidenced by the blood steadily drying on his clothing and skin.]

Re: [In Person]

[brothercumface.livejournal.com]

[she paused. and blinked. then scowled, an oddly defiant expression for a little seven year old. but there was an air of innocence around her irritated expression, unlike that which she wore most often in her usual age.]

You're not Yoh. Yoh's nine.

[she spoke with conviction, and an outspoken nature that would disappear in a matter of hours back home.]

And you're - you're big.

[In Person]

[a-damned-liar.livejournal.com]

And you're small. The Minatsuki I know's fifteen. What the Hell is going on...?

[Yoh's honestly never been more confused. His heart is still pumping adrenaline through his system and it's not helping. The last thing he remembers before appearing here is his father letting out one final gurgling breath before dying, Minatsuki naked and bloodstained on the floor next on his father's other side. They'd exchanged a look then before he could even process the strange expression on Minatsuki's face he was here... what the Hell is going on?]
