Church....

[looks up]

Hello Asari-Kun I'm upset because these idiots do not believe I
am fit too run a church because of my....past accident.

[frowns]

Ah... I see... They don't want you to run this church because of that accident in that boxing ring, right?

[nods looking down at the papers tightning his fists]

......

[frowns even more]

... You know what I think, Knuckle?

Being a pastor isn't about their past, but it's about their relationship with their God or something about it...

I know that!

[calms down a little]

I know that.....they didn't even bring it up till they found out the other
thing......tch.

[grabs a vodka bottle from under a drawer and takes a swig]

[surprised at the vodka Knuckle has]

... You do know that taking some alcohol isn't going to help you, right...?

[nods]

Still helps though.....only a little but that's good enough for me.

[takes another swig]

........I hate this.

[sigh]

[shakes his head]

Maa, I guess I'll help you to negotiate to them.

Maybe with Giotto's help or the other's help too.

[nods blinking then moves foreward a little stumbling]

Thanks Asari-Kun....gonna go clear my head a little.

[gives asari a hug reeeking horribly of vodka]

Later!!

[stumbles toward the door]

[hugged, smells the vodka scent]

Ah! Knuckles, you might need some help!

[follows him]

[nods a little and heads for Giottos']

[walks in wearing his priest outfit and starts praying]

Haa-Chan.............

[open the door, slowly.]

[and fascinated by the inside of the church]

[until a caring smile and a relaxing feeling mixed up]

[has head bowed on a pew the now empty Vodka bottle beside him]

......Heavens to far Hanako........to far........gone.

[hear a voice. and Ryouhei look for it.]

.....

[blinks]

Knuckle?

[more to asking himself. and then he walk to approach him.]

[looks up and starts laughing]

Hahaha oh the devil himself appears!!

[just sits there laughing hysterically]

[enters]

Maa, I never thought patrolling around Namimori would be so fast...

[blinks]

Wonder why Alaude won't do it...

[smile]

Ah well, he might be busy.

[notices Knuckle laughing]

Maa, Knuckle, you drink alcohol again?

[frown]

{{dang xD I was about to hug Knuckle xD}}

Ugetsu-tono... Knuckle...

[hides behind a chair.. from countless chair in the church.]

[listen to their conversation]

[see's Asari then points at Ryouhei still laughing]

Look look the devil haunts me Asari!!!

[reaches a hand into his robe]

No more haunting!!!

[pulls out a gun points it at own head]

I'm gonna go see Hanako now bye!!

[widen his eye, unsheathe his sword and slashes the gun without hitting Knuckle's hand, knock it out from his hand]

Knuckle, be serious. This isn't the Knuckle I, Giotto, and the others know of.

[sigh]

If something happened to you, you should talk about it to someone, not bottle it up and be stressed about it.

[breaks]

G-Got drunk got violated Ryouhei just watched!!

[curls up]

Betrayed Hanako......betrayed Ryouhei but he betrayed me too!!

[sigh]

[pats Knuckle's back after he sheathes his sword]

Maa, Knuckle, you need to know that you have a friend to lean on and share stories so that this friend can help you.

[grinding teeth]

[and with a super small voice, he talk to self.]

Calm down, Ryouhei. Calm down.

[still hiding behind a random long chair]

Knuckle...

[looks at the ground nodding slowly]

....I want to hate Ryouhei but I cannot.

[stands up wobbily]

I was so out of it I thought i saw him come in.

[looks at Asari]

I love Ryouhei as wrong as that is......and not in the famial sense.

[punches a pew]

God I'm sick!

[he feel bad about it]

Ugetsu-tono.. will you help me?

[then he look down]
