[Oh stars help him if he wasn't doing this for his student this would be THE WORST IDEA EVER IN ALL HISTORY OF HORRIBLE IDEAS. Naoshi's footsteps crunch frantically across the sand while behind him, all he hears are powerful wingbeats as the Ahool takes to the air and oh geez don't look back just run run RUN RUN!!
Shed, where's his shed, there's a computer in the shed, the Ahool's too big to get in (right?), all he has to do is call for help from the island's combat-types, and then make sure the beast stays focused on him instead of going back for Kanakubo and--
There's a sudden rush of wind behind him. Because this is a clean meme, rather than being caught and turned into dinner before the thread even hits twelve tags, Naoshi is sent tumbling as the Ahool crashes back to earth behind him, missing its target in a dive for its prey but still buffeting the man with the powerful force of its wingbeats. Naoshi screams again but rolls and scrambles back to his feet and there's the shed you beautiful thing you!
He tears the door open and dives inside, forcing back the instinct to slam the door shut behind him -- if he would have even had time to do so, for here comes a great taloned foot reaching in after him as he scrambles up against the far wall, out of reach for the moment.
The computer's right beside him. Time for that distress call.]
[ Tailing that thing even if he's almost sure that the Ahool can hear his heavy footsteps--no wait those are heartbeats.
He knew that Sensei would've wanted him to escape, but damn it if he was going to leave the man behind. All right, Sensei--he'll go along with whatever plan you've managed to come up in between your panic, because hey, at least he has a plan. Was it too late to light his branch on fire?
Not that he has much time to decide, because after clawing at the shed in vain the Ahool decides that tall skinny one hidden among the trees would be an easier catch, and ceases attempts at digging for Naoshi as it flew straight at Homare. ]
[Naoshi hammers those computer keys like a madman; he's got it all running, text and audio and video, blasting every network connection he's aware of with his panicked SOS. Someone will notice, someone will send help, someone--
--the Ahool abandons the shed, and this is actually a bad thing. Naoshi rushes back to the open door with the camera feed still running behind him, horrified by the sight of the monster heading back for the treeline.] NO!
[The ground is littered with rocks here. Naoshi snatches one up and hurls it with all the force he can muster at the Ahool's back. His aim is off given his fright, but he hits the backside of a wing, at least.] KANAKUBO! STAY IN THE TREES! [At least in there, the giant monster won't be able to fly between the crowded trunks or maneuver as well. Naoshi grabs more rocks and throws those, too, not expecting to hurt the Ahool at all, wanting only to reclaim its attention.]
[ Lighting a spark, come on spark heavens that things' going after him come on--come on-- ] Uwah! [ Scrambling backwards as the Ahool nearly claws at him, crying AHOOOOOoooool! in that terrible voice while it tried to squeeze past the trees to get at him.
Well good, at least it stopped paying attention to Sensei. That's--That's a good thing, he thinks as a few of the trees snapped where the Ahool tried to get at him.
--Wait, not fast enough, a tree falls in his way, stunning him just long enough for the Ahool to knock him sideways. ]
oh man why is this a meme this needs to be TDS canon XDnaochansenseiMay 7 2011, 15:26:19 UTC
LEAVE HIM ALONE! [Naoshi's not even aware that he's screaming, that terrified tears are streaming over his cheeks, everything's just blind panic and protective instinct. He can't let Kanakubo get hurt in front of him again, he can't!
The Ahool looms over his student, teeth gleaming in the dark night, and Naoshi ceases to be acting on a vague plan and simply reacts. He races ahead and as the monster bends down to claim a meal, he leaps and throws himself on the beast's lowered shoulders. He grabs at filthy grey fur and those huge batlike ears for purchase, but he is under half its size and the Ahool pays him no more attention than a flea.
...that is until he reaches forward and slams a handful of sand and grit into its face. Suddenly blinded, the Ahool rears back with another of its terrible howls, and Naoshi holds on for dear life as it thrashes from side to side.]
We can plot a gory version of this there if you want. :Dnoppo_sempaiMay 7 2011, 16:15:39 UTC
[ That thing's distracted. Now's his chance! He gets on his feet, ignoring for the moment certain injuries sustained from the attack, braces himself as he hears his Sensei yell and the Ahool rear, then grabs a particularly sharp branch with every intention of thrusting it into--
Right, PG13 meme. The Ahool knocks his weapon back in the struggle and makes a blind swipe at him. ] S--Sensei--! [ Then he does what a well-bred and reasonable young man should never do on a first date: go to first base RAM AGAINST THAT UNBALANCED SUCKER WITH ALL OF YOUR SPINDLY ARCHER'S STRENGTH. ]
very tempting~♪ >:3naochansenseiMay 7 2011, 16:40:54 UTC
[With Kanakubo throwing his shoulder into its gut, Naoshi twisting its ears and wrenching its head back, and no room among the trees to spread its wings for balance, the Ahool shrieks in outrage as it staggers backwards. Its feel are fouled up by the same small trees it knocked over to get at Kanakubo, and suddenly it's falling over backwards, a Goliath felled by the joint efforts of a couple little Davids.]
GAH! [Of course Naoshi's still on top of that Goliath. He falls away, flailing into a bush, while simultaneously there's a loud, hollow sound as the Ahool cracks the back of its head on a large rock and goes limp and still, unconscious or so we'll claim since this is a meme.]
So you wanna?--wait, that is not the thing to say on the first date /shotnoppo_sempaiMay 7 2011, 16:50:56 UTC
[ Wincing at the impact as his injured body protests, the momentum has him reeling forward and landing crumpled on top of the monster. He keeps still a moment, bracing himself for an attack that never comes and-- ]
Sensei! [ He scrambles to his feet, stumbling over the prone wings as he makes his way to the little man's side, all cuts and bruises and possibly broken in places he doesn't dare think of right now. ]
oh, so bold~♥ /also shot --- but yes o9 let's get some violence back up in that joint!naochansenseiMay 7 2011, 17:39:34 UTC
[Ow ow ow, that bush might've done more harm than good in breaking his fall, all the plantlife on this island really has it out for him, doesn't it? He'll have a whole new layer of scars once all these scratches heal, but he's not feeling them at all, he's only fighting his way back to his feet, looking for the monster, looking for--]
-kubo! [It's not much more than a squeak, he's so relieved to see the boy up and moving and yet crushed by the sight of Kanakubo wounded despite all his efforts, his eyesight is blurry because he's crying still and again....
And he just can't help it. As Kanakubo comes in range, Naoshi stumbles forward and glomps catches the boy in a desperate hug (even if he can't reach higher than mid-chest, stars why are you so tall) because he's just that glad and not thinking much else beyond that at the moment.]
[After a moment or two, it helps settle him. Blame it on a meme that was supposed to be all about fluff from the start if you like, but a hug is a reassuring thing. He's alive. Kanakubo's alive. Thank heavens, thank everything.
When Naoshi pulls back, he tries to wipe his reddened face clean, but it's hard to do when hands and sleeves alike are covered with sand and dirty grey hairs. Eventually he gives up on the futile effort and looks up at his student with tired but grateful eyes. He even finds something to say, with tears in his eyes and a tiny smile.]

Hobbling on over--oh good, he's getting up and--he gives a tiny ] Oof! [ at the hug and stumbles back a little. What is he doing?
A short pause, and understanding, brings his arms around the older man in a light hug, a battered but gentle smile on his face. ]

We've got to stop meeting like this. [Sniff.]
