Backdated to Sunday | Every Breath You Take

Graveyard

[She pulls herself out of the grave with ease, and she immediately has an urge to find the people from home and those in Mayfield she's made friends with.]

[Her disgust at the low cut dress she's wearing is only secondary to this urge. And she can't help but walk with her hands out in front of her.]

Around Town

[Has she met you? Does she know you from home? If so, you might get a feeling that someone is watching you. And for some reason, she can't react as quickly as usual, so you'll probably catch her at it.]

[And Black☆Star, she just might try to carry you away.]

[Her meister is conflicted. On the one hand, she's there and safe. On the other hand she never should have been in a grave to begin with, and what's happening doesn't seem normal]

... so the town tried to mess with me just to put you in a skimpy dress?!

DAMMIT! DON'T BE SO FORWARD, YOU STUPID TOWN!

THAT'S SOMETHING THE STAR IS SUPPOSED TO DO!

[The dress, why did everyone have to remind her that she was wearing it? Getting Black☆Star to the basement was much more important than what she was wearing.]

But you're always forward Black☆Star, I don't see how the town beat you.

[He looks her over carefully, then crosses his arms and nods. She's right. Whatever this is, it doesn't count]

[And when he's ready, he'll show the town how a REAL STAR handles this sort of courtship!]

You're right. I'll just have to show Mayfield how it's really done when I'm ready.

[She nods in agreement.]

I'm sure you'll really show this town, Black☆Star, especially once you're ready.

[She has no idea what he's talking about, but she has complete faith in him. And now she sees their house.]

[All she has to do now is get him inside and to her crypt...to the basement.

[Their house? He blinks in confusion, still not even bothering to consider struggling against her]

Wait, we were just going home? You didn't have to carry me for that.

[And to the basement, but she doesn't have to tell him that.]

People are acting strange, I need to make sure you're safe at home where no one else can carry you off.

[She hadn't considered having to open the door while holding him, it's kind of difficult. She stops for a minute, then looks down at him.]

My hands are full, could you just turn the door knob?

[This still doesn't add up. Tsubaki knows he's strong enough to crush anyone or anything that'd try to carry him away - he'd never allow it. What's this really about? He thinks for a moment, and then...]

Are you sure you're not asking me out?

[She's not sure if her face could get anymore red.]

Yes, no, I don't know. Something is telling me I need to make sure that you are mine and no one else's.

[And the answer is yes, because she can feel her face heat even more as those words fall out of her mouth. She's not sure what compelled her to say it, but she had to say it just like she had to carry him off.]

I don't know what's going on Black☆Star. Did something happen yesterday? I can't remember.

[If he notices her embarrassment he doesn't say a word about it, opting instead to open the door like she had asked]

That's silly. Who else would I want to be my weapon?

[Is it a trick of the town? That'd make sense, but... his body tenses in her arms as he thinks of the previous day]

You weren't around yesterday, Tsubaki.

[She smiles at at his comment about not wanting another weapon.]

[At least she hadn't done anything horrible.]

When did the graves show up.

[Had she been underground an entire day?]

[At the mention of the graves, his tension turns into suppressed anger as the memories flood his mind. Digging up the ground in a frenzy, finding the casket and the bones - the bones, the ones he was so sure belonged to his partner... the rage Soul and Kid had worked to contain...]

We're not talking about the graves.

[She doesn't even have to look in his eyes to know it's a sore subject, and then when he says they're not going to talk about it.]

I'm sorry, Black☆Star.

[And now she's taking him through the house and down the stairs to the basement.]

Whatever. Don't worry about it.

[In his mind the subject is closed, and it allows him to try and relax, to forget about the whole stupid thing. And to wonder why on earth they're going to the basement]

So what's down here anyway?

I don't know, I just felt like I needed to bring you down here.

[It's the closest thing to a crypt she can think of, but now she doesn't know what to do.]

[If there's one thing Black☆Star is unfamiliar with, it's uncertainty. He hates uncertainty, and he has plenty to be uncertain about. He's 90% sure Tsubaki is trying to seduce him - why else would she be acting like this? But it's all wrong! When he gets a girlfriend, it's supposed to be a big affair! A HUGE AFFAIR! SOMETHING APPROPRIATE FOR A HUGE STAR LIKE HIMSELF!]

[But if there's one thing he's always tried to be sensitive to, it's the feelings of his partner. And if she's gone this far for him, he can't mess that up for her]

[So he simply shrugs]

Well if you're gonna do something, go ahead and do it.

[Well, if she could, she would put him down, but seeing as she can't lower her arms...]

I'm not sure what to do, Black☆Star.

You kidnap me so no one else can have me, drag me somewhere private, and now you don't know what to do?

Are you being forward or not, Tsubaki?

[Her voice is quiet as she tries to work it out for herself.]

I just had to bring you to the basement...[She shakes her head, trying to figure out why it was so important.]

B-being forward about what?

[So whatever's going on, it really is just another trick of the town. He nods approvingly]

Nevermind. So that's it? We just stay here?

Unless you want me to go get Soul and Kid.

Well if you're not trying to seduce me, we might as well make it a party!

[She nods, then frowns.]

I don't think I can cook like this.

[She still can't seems to put her arms down.]

Huh.

Well, that's okay! I can always cook!

[IMPENDING DOOM]

Okay, but maybe I could help out somehow.

[By supervising.]
