First Echo / [Action/Phone]

[echoing_sutras]

[Action 1448 Mitchell Road; early early morning]

-You know what the appropriate thing to do when you wake up in a strange place, with your ears, tail, clothes, and powers missing?

Well, if you're Kyouko, you scream at the top of your lungs.-

KYAAAAAAAH!!!

-Talk about a rude awakening...-

[Phone; sometime later]

Um... I was told there may be people I know here...

Could anyone help me? I'm looking for my fellow disciples... the people of Myouren Temple. I need to find them! Please... I don't wanna be here alone...

[Such a good junior ;u;

Ichirin looks pretty concerned when Kyouko shows up, though, immediately taking note of her missing ears. She's gotten the lowdown on Mayfield by now so she's not exactly shocked, but it's still strange seeing her like this.]

Kyouko! You got here pretty fast. Would you like to come inside?

Ich... Ichi-nee! -She was panting. It wasn't a good idea to run. She just sort of stumbles and collapses into her senior.-

[Ichirin is sure to catch her, an even more concerned look shadowing her face.]

You didn't have to run, I wouldn't have left.

[She intends to stop there, but she can't help but be nice, so she smiles and pats Kyouko on the head.]

...But I'm glad to see you so soon.

Ichi-nee... -She looks like she's about to cry.-

They took everything... I'm no better than a human right now...

[Ichirin bends to Kyouko's height and gives her an encouraging, somewhat sad smile.]

They took everything from me, too. Even Unzan.

But, Kyouko...even though you look like a human now, you're still the same person you were yesterday, and that person was a proud and good youkai. That's what's important.

-Kyouko sniffled a bit.-

If Ichi-nee says so...

"If disciples meet with the ills of life they should not shun them. If they suffer painful experiences, they should not feel afflicted or treated unjustly, but should always rejoice in remembering and contemplating the deep significance of the Dharma"
