He was wheezing by the time he reached the familiar apartment he had spent so much time in during the past several months. Clutching his aching side, most of Rin's deeper wounds were in the last stages of mending, but that didn't mean he was out of the woods yet. And he knew he looked a horrible mess - shirt torn up, covered in blood, bruises on his face and arms - but he couldn't just hold off and hope that his own healing didn't cut out and add to his already decidedly bad day.

He knew he should contact Maka and Masaru, too, but he was wanting to cross that bridge a little later, when his head wasn't pounding and he didn't feel weak and sick to his stomach.

He finally made it to the door and raised his scratched, bruised hand to knock, pausing to look at it. An all too familiar sight, reminiscent of the days before he knew who and what he was.

Some things just never changed...

Finally he knocked as loud as he could, then promptly slumped against the door with a grunt, closing his eyes as he willed his head to stop spinning.

"'eyy... Kohaku... open up..."

It was definitely a surprise to hear a knock at the door at that moment, but even more of one to hear Rin's voice on the other end. Rin was spontaneous, she knew, but visiting on such short-- err, well. No notice? Kohaku was already suspicious about this.

"Coming!" Kohaku called toward the door, getting up from where she was, watching television on the couch, and moving toward the door. She opened it, and ...

"Rin?! What happened?!" She gasped, instantly rushing to take his arm and put it around her, supporting him as she tried to help him a little with moving into the apartment.

"Come on, inside. And start explaining! No, wait, don't, not yet, let's get you sitting down first ..."

Kohaku's mind was a frenzy. She knew Rin had a penchant for getting himself into trouble, but with how he looked now, this was way more than just the standard trouble. This was something to worry about. And she was worried.
