"Murder. His a murderer. The one people go to for help to get rid of weird dreams and horrid nightmares is a murderer. People claim that the dream eater killed someone for not giving him the promised nightmare that the person was having problems with. Murder. The person he killed was a kid. That sick Murderer." The people of the town would mutter on the streets of a gray day. All of them were upset, fearful or they were starting to develop a hatred for a person, the dream eater, that's what people called the apparent boy. The 'murderer' of someone who needed help from him.

That same dream eater sighed, humans were so easy to fool and anger. Although, he did have to wonder what had them all so particularly irritable today. The boy with a white cane walked on the streets,listening to today's daily gossip. And did he hear today's 'gossip' loud and shocking,murder. He pitted the poor sap that would have to go through the pain of 'judgement and justice' as humans called their punishment.

"There he is!" Shouted a person, pointing a skinny finger at the boy. "The little monster even has the nerves to show his face, it's like his taunting us."

The dream eater stopped and spun on his heels. Taunting them? What did he mean? Wait. Were they accusing him?!

In the crowd of onlookers, stood a boy with dark purple hair. He observed all of the people that glared at the "murderer." He looked at the "boy," who didn't appear to be very viscous. Yoshi looked at Hiruko with calm eyes, the eyes a mother gave her child when listening to her children tell a story, the kind of expression that showed a slight glimmer of joy. "Could he be?" Yoshi thought to himself. Yoshi doubted that Hiruko could actually kill anyone, though he didn't know him. Yoshi walked forward past the crowd, giving Hiruko a nod that said "follow me," as he walked past him. Yoshi didn't know how violent this crowd could be, and didn't intend to find out.

Hiruko looked at the crowd, so many people seemed to look at him with hatred, fear, but one person didn't. Honestly,he never thought he would see someone that looked at him like the innocent confused person he was. A small light of hope in one person,and maybe they could help him understand what was happening. Hiruko wasn't the type to base things off of poor assumptions, they were never truly reliable.

Even though the boy that had seemed to think other wise of him walked towards Hiurko, the dream eater still took a step back. Just a small precaution when the whole town seemed keen on actual killing you. 'hmm,perhaps he dose want to help me.'Hiruko thought as he watch Yoshi. There was hardly a moment of hesitation, the boy instantly followed Yoshi. He would do anything to get out of that mess.

"Thank you."He said glancing back at the crowd. Nope, they were not happy about this sudden turn of events. "..we might want to walk a bit faster."

Yoshi led the boy into an alley around the corner. "Not yet, my dear." Yoshi said calmly. His voice sounded determined, and was laced with a slight English accent. Yoshi put his finger tips to his temples. He closed his eyes for a moment and produced a slight grunt before lowering his hands. "That should do it," he said in a voice with a bit more cheer as he faced Hiruko. He turned his attention back to the alley entrance. He heard the mob of people approach, whom then walked past them, as if the were invisible, some of which who looked right at them, as if they were looking through them. Yoshi let out a sigh as he turned back to Hiruko. "Well, that's much better isn't it?" Yoshi smiled at Hiruko as he asked his rhetorical question.

Hiruko's blue eyes seemed to go back to the clear serene blue they normally were as they people passed by them.Slowly he looked up at Yoshi, his head tilted in curiosity,"..Yes, much better."He agreed. Hiruko was grateful , he really was, but he was also very troubled. Silently he shook his head in hopes of having time to figure out things later when everyone returned to their daily errands.
"Again, thank you..."Hiruko trailed off. Clearly,he didn't know this persons name.

Yoshi looked surprised, as if he had just witness a contortionist's performance for the first time. "Oh! Goodness gracious. I do beg your pardon." Yoshi wiped a flustered expression from his face as he composed him self. "Dr. Yoshi. Pleased to meet you," Yoshi said as he extended his arm forward for a handshake.

Hiruko looked at Yoshi a bit puzzled with how stunned he seemed.None the less, he remained silent with a faint smile as Yoshi explained himself.Although that smile did falter when he thread 'doctor', not the best memory's for the dream eater.
"Hiruko Kagmine."Hiruko replied, starring at the doctor's hand. Hesitantly he shook his hand pretty firmly, and then let go.

Yoshi's eyes darted toward the alley entrance. "I think they're gone now," he said with a relieved look. Yoshi looked at boy. "You look uncomfortable. Are you alright?" Yoshi said as he fought the urge to read Hiruko's mind. His powers allowed him dominion over the thoughts of others, as well as his own, making it harder for other telepaths to tap him.

Hiruko manged a smile when he looked at yoshi,"In fact,never better,doc."He said.The dream eater then frowned, yes, this guy did say he was a doctor but he helped him.But Yoshi did help him, so, just this once Hriuko would at least attempt to trust a doctor.Just this once,what could it hurt anyways?
"I guess it's time to find a different place to hide.."Hiruko suggested dully.

Yoshi smiled. "Just call me Yoshi. I'm not very fond of 'Doctor'." Yoshi looked around before returning his gaze to Hiruko as he said, "Not necessarily. We're still undetectable to the people around us, due to me. I've shrouded us in a mental mist, so that people around us don't even notice us." In an effort to explain, Yoshi strolled out of the alleyway. He turned to face Hiruko when he was on the sidewalk, and tilted his head in a way that said "watch and learn." Yoshi then walked between two people having a conversation. He looked at one person to say "The man you're talking to thinks you smell ghastly." He then turned to the other man to say "While the man you're talking to believes you to be dumber than a plank of wood." Yoshi smiled and gave a slight bow to both of them before returning to Hiruko. The two men said nothing. Yoshi's actions didn't effect them in the least, as if he never even existed. He looked at Hiruko while saying "like so," with a slight smile.

Hiruko nodded, respected Yoshi's chooses and he liked the fact that this person was proving him wrong.Yoshi didn't act like any doctor he had ever encountered."Oh,do you care to show what you mean?"Hiruko inquired.When Yoshi walked over to the two men and spoke right to them Hiruko began to watch closely.The men didn't react in any way, nothing at all.This of course was a relief to Hiruko, but at the same time he wasn't to sure if this was good.
"Very handy..but."Hiruko paused,"..but may I ask how long this will last?"He asked, in truth he wanted to say something else, but figured this wasn't the best of times to bring up anything else that could cause a problem.

Yoshis expression turned blank. "Well, In case i have to remind you, that crowd was angry at you, not me. I can allow you to be sensed again, but i cant assure you that they won't go after you again." Yoshi's voice sounded caring. "Whenever you wish, would be the short way of putting it, i suppose."

Hiruko's calm blue eyes seemed to grow a bit dark at those words,this mess go on his nerves.He didn't kill anyone, those human beings had little reason to be angry with him..not that they would ever listen to what the dream eater had to say."Tank you."He said in response,Yoshi had helped him quite a bit at this point.

(This might be my last post for the night without big gaps inbetween)

"Well I'm here to help. Where are you going? Assuming there is still a group of eager individuals willing to form another mob, I can shield them from our presence." Yoshi stepped out of the alleyway. "No point in hiding now i suppose," he said with his final step.

{Ah, I see.}
Hiruko wondered if Yoshi knew who he was and what he did for people. Granted the chance of someone looking for Hiruko to help them with a troubled nightmare was slim, but he had to have a little hope for that.After all, that was his meal."To check things out for the time being."He replied after a lengthy silence.Hiruko looked at Yoshi when he stepped out of the alleyway,and slowly he did follow him.

Yoshi looked puzzled. "Well then, if you don't mind, I'd like to accompany you." Yoshi observed the palm of his hand before he did a slight stretch. "Pardon me. Anyway, when would like me to release the barrier?"

"If you insist."Hiruko replied, he walked forward a bit.Then the dream eater stopped,he looked back at Yoshi,"When ever you like,Yoshi."He told him.

(Busy busy busy, sorry )

Yoshi tried to wipe off a seemingly exasperated look from his face. He exhaled loudly covering his lips with his palm, placing his fingers on both sides of his jaw. "Yet again, I must say, that's your call." Yoshi forced a smile that didn't appear as fake as it was.

{Ahah,aren't we all? It's alright}

Hiruko looked at him,"Oh..right."Hiruko said,he looked away again.The dream eater seemed to be really thinking about all of this, he simply didn't understand why anyone thought he would kill someone.Namely a customer,and none of this made sense in his mind no matter how he looked at things..nothing of this matter made sense.

(Surprise? )

Yoshi tilted his head to ask a question. "Remind me, where are you headed?" Yoshi looked around at the people as he stepped out further onto the sidewalk, the mob long gone. Yoshi's stomach started growling, causing him to peer down as if inspecting the cleanliness of his shoes before returning his gaze to Hiruo for an answer.
