Fall Like the Sun

Kiryuu watched as the last of his teammates walked away from him, his figure illuminated by the setting sun.

There was a despondency in his gaze that Kiryuu didn't want to recognize, instead masking it with an insane grin, a cocked gun ready to shoot...or backfire.

With Yuusei leaving, he was alone. There was nothing left of their group.

That was what any reasonable person would say.

To Kiryuu, everyone was still together. They wouldn't separate so easily. They had never lost. They still had so much more to gain. There was no reason for them to leave. They would return.

Crow had been the first one to break away. Kiryuu wasn't worried. Crow's jubilant attitude wasn't something that could be kept down for long. It was only a matter of waiting until he was back to his normal self.

Jack had left soon after. Kiryuu wasn't worried about him, either. It was hard to earn his trust, but he was fiercely loyal to those he found worthy of his attention. He'd be back soon enough.

Yuusei had been the last to leave. If Kiryuu wasn't worried about Jack of Crow, there was no way he'd be worried about Yuusei. Yuusei was always there, even when he wasn't. With all his preaching about bonds and whatnot, there was no way he'd eat his own words and turn his back on his nakama.

This was a temporary depression. Things would look up soon enough. Even the brightest star in their sky, the sun, which lit up everything in its brilliance, set every night. Darkness still came every night.

Kiryuu looked out over the broken wall of the top floor of the building he stood, smiling. As if to prove his point, the sun continued to fall, coating everything with a dim haze of pink and orange.

Yes, the sun fell every night. But it rose again.

And so would Team Satisfaction. They would rise again like the sun, and light up the Satellite with their brilliance, driving out the darkness that was Security.

Kiryuu watched and plotted as the sun fell behind the horizon.
