Chaotic would have been an understatement to the current state of affairs in Death City. There were several, undeniable issues that were made genuinely more evident with each and every ongoing invasion. Each weighing more heavily than the first, and the shouldered collectivism of the entire farce caused her to a fair amount of discomfort and fatigue. However, though she was fully aware that she lacked the power and a partner to make a huge difference in the current events, she couldn’t dismiss the desire she had to protect others. Not to mention, the simple and slender desire to confirm the immediate safety of those within her tightly knit circle.

Sougo, naturally, was no exception to that rule, and was no stranger to her priorities. Though, with the madness that had permeated the atmosphere, her head was still swimming; fogging up her mentally established to-do list. Closing her eyes, she gives herself a moment to breath. A clean inhalation and exhalation of air. She wouldn't forgive herself if she fell victim to something like this. After all, she had her guild mates and friends to support her. That's all that was necessary. Her brows furrowing slightly, she mutes her stray thoughts almost instantaneously.

With a hand wrapped firmly around her temporary weapon of choice, she focused on the road ahead of her. It was latent with possible troubles, but she couldn’t allow herself to focus too heavily on those possibilities. After all, she had resigned herself to this task and she refused with the entirety of her dignity and pride that she would not retract her resolve. With more determination than ever, she sets out to move, her strides only managing to gradually come to a halt when a familiar figure is captured in her peripherals.

With a loud voice, she immediately calls out after him, “Sougo! I was looking for you!” Though, her voice contained a lot of volume, it did little to hinder the sounds of concern that were genuinely laced in her voice. Stepping in closer, her eyes are watchful and vigilant as they roam over his form, checking for signs of exterior injuries.

The morning had been active. Too active for Sougo's liking. In the midst of it there had been betrayal he didn't even have time to deal with and mayo...which he never WANTED time to deal with, but the important thing was they (the Shinsengumi) fought and fended off a good majority of the creatures. They kept their commander safe above all else, but something that never left the back of Okita's mind even in the heat of battle was finding her, getting to Lucy.

So once things became a bit more controlled, Sougo managed to get his hands on a real sword and parted ways from the Shinsengumi. It was reckless, stupid -- but he left her once and he wasn't losing her again. These things weren't kishin eggs and Sougo felt more at ease with a non-living weapon at the moment, slashing, slicing -- becoming a whirlwind of deadly movement as he beheaded and fatally wounded creatures and zombies in his path.

He was coated in blood, very little of it was his own, but although uninjured he was wearing down as the fights went on -- losing his stamina. Only sheer determination pulled him through the last few enemies. Sougo stood there, catching his breath after his latest kill -- and then he heard her voice, craning his neck in Lucy's direction. He spared her a weak smile before setting his attention straight ahead to make sure there were no enemies following or within sight.

"Lucy..." his tone was almost relieved before he asked: "Aren't your clothes supposed to be half torn off by now?"
