"Alright!"
Kuro reached back and grabbed Aki's hand, pulling her along with him as he ran down the hall. When they caught up with Kin at the stairwell, he realized he was still holding the girl's hand. He looked in her eyes for a moment, embarrassed, then quickly looked away, embarrassed. Kin had once again taken off from them.
"You always move so dang fast!"
Kuro placed his hands on the rail in front of him. Leaning over to look down, he saw that the stairs went down to the bottom floor with only a small gap between the different sets of stairs. Kin was already half-way down.
"Wait up!"
Kuro jumped down between the flights of stairs and felt himself begin to plummet. He instantly knew that this was not the awesome idea it seemed to be. His speed picked up much quicker than he had planned, and soon rails were rushing past him. He grabbed hold of every rail for a second, slowing his fall as he went down, but found himself a little off target on the last one, slipping right over the top of it, his stomach landing hard on the rail. Kuro let out a slight moan, then jumped in front of the stairs to slow Kin down before he left.
"Are you trying to leave our new friend behind? Yeesh. For a gimp, you sure move quick."
