Okay, he was definitely in the right side because all his flashlight was turning up were women, except for an unlucky pair that looked like they had just collided literally in the middle of the hallway. Niikura slowed his run into a brisk walk and continued on straight past the two. F19...that had to be close; the number was pretty low. Without hesitation, he walked through the nearest open door. Time to take his chances.
"He's reliable, though," Niikura said in an attempt to offer some assurance. "As in, he's not gonna stab me in the back or anything." Which was really saying something, actually. "I think he's a ninja, too...ha ha, nah, he just has some neat moves. Pretty useful since this place, like I said, ain't the kind of place where you can just wander around by yourself."
It was at that point that he decided to change the subject.
"Hey, so, how'd the rest of your day go, huh? Like your roommate?"
Shiina listened patiently to his description, walking alongside Niikura with growing ease despite the off-putting darkness of the place. Were they supposed to be walking around freely like this?
"I'm glad you can trust him." Her words were dead sincere. She knew more than anyone that the Akumetsu had made a lot of enemies. Anyone Shou felt he could trust had to be trustworthy. Shiina knew whoever this Mike guy was, she could likely trust him with her life.
"What, you jealous?" she teased. "Don't got any ninja skills in your own repertoire?" Teasing was easy and familiar territory. Just a little brought her back to a simpler time in their lives, back before the Akumetsu mess even started. It was beginning to dawn on her, though very slowly, that maybe this was the chance for a new beginning that she had always hoped Shou could have.
