Nightshift 25: M21-M30 Hallway

[itneverwas]

As soon as the doors had unlocked, Xemnas already headed outside. His amber eyes scanned the dark hallway, but there were patients nor monsters lurking within the darkness. Keeping his flashlight off as to avoid any unwanted attention, the Superior quickly proceeded

Kyon once again resumed his position by the door as he watched Ed shout. He had every right to do so, he thought, that guy was a complete Ass. He couldn't believe someone was that selfish at place and time like this. This place, that as the hours dragged on, he was starting to finally let the serverity sink in. He didn't know what this damned place was, but people were getting kidnapped, tortured, experimented on, and killed. He was alone in this place, no body from North High, no one from Koizumi's orginization, no one to tell him what he had to do to get out.

He shook suddenly, probably a delayed reaction. He had slipped from the conversation and didn't register anything until his name came up. Looking up and regaining his composure he stared at Tamaki. What was he just volunteered for? Oh, medic, okay. That wasn't too bad. Truth be told, Kyon didn't really want to be on the front line anyways. He was fine with the sidelines for now.

"Uh, yeah," He said in agreement with Tamaki, who now was hugging awfully friendly like with Ed. If Kyon didn't know better he'd think they were...

Nah, they were just friends and Tamaki was worried. Nothing else.

Renji's expression got a little darker at Ed's mention of torture, and then darker still as Hitsugaya appeared and said that Kairi had been taken as well.

"Then we should waste no more time," he said. He looked at Hitsugaya. "Ed says that he knows the location.; Adelheid has been taken as well." He glanced at Ed. "I assume they will have taken Kairi to the same place? Once we have gotten there, I will pinpoint them if necessary. I can track them both." There was no option in his mind but rescuing both of them, and thankfully he knew both well enough to recognize their spirit threads. "If they are under guard, we'll destroy what guards them." It was stated as fact; there was no other option.

He was surprised, but pleasantly, by Tamaki's decision. So surprised that it showed a little on his face, as well as a new note of respect for the boy. He'd expected that he would have to argue. He'd never been so pleased to be wrong. "Thank you, Suou," he said. And gave the kid a small smile. "I look forward to teaching you tomorrow; I fear we will have to postpone our lesson. Sheska is waiting in room F21 for us. If you want help with your preparations, I'm sure she will do so."

He turned to Artemis. "Fowl, choose. Come with us, or stay here and help them." While Artemis wasn't a fighter, he knew when to run; Renji thought he could be useful to pass messages or other non-combat sorts of help.

He decided not to insult Ed by offering him a hand up; they would be fighting soon. He grabbed the knife in one hand, the flashlight in the other, and headed for the door.

Come or stay. Fight or flee. Torture... Artemis thought, his expression still gaunt. His jaw clenched in determination and he stood up. Though his vision swam, he did nothing to alert the group to this fact. A Fowl never turns tail and runs. Ever.

"If you think you can push me into a safer position again tonight, Abarai-san," The boy's trademark smirk was back on his face, "You're sadly mistaken. I'll do what I can." With that, he gathered up what strips of sheet were left from Renji's bandage and followed Renji to the door. He looked back briefly at Tamaki and Kyon.

"Suou-san, Kyon-san, we'll come back with the two victims as soon as possible. Thank you for volunteering." Artemis smirked again, "We're becoming a regular medic union, aren't we?"

He nodded to Ed, "Let's go. Every moment we spend here, the victims are spending it in the head doctor's power."

[lost_metal]

The voice at the door was oddly familiar but he shrugged it off and instead focussed on Renji. He nodded in agreement. "There were a couple of people up there last time who got hurt. I think all the rooms are together."

He hoped, he really hoped. He didn't want to waste time if people were scattered around the building. He turned in Tamaki's arms, giving him a weak grateful smile. It was nice, that reassurance. He would've liked the blond at his side, but he didn't want to see him hurt anymore. Being a medic was probably the best idea.

He patted Tamaki's hand and then glanced at the door for a moment before turning back to his friend. Why not? Could be dead soon enough. He leaned up and kissed him lightly on the lips before pushing himself to his feet. For luck he told himself.

He turned to Artermis, grim determination in his eyes as he grabbed the needles. "We'll bring him back."

[To here]

Everything was in place. As the door opened and the angry-looking boy passed by, Hitsugaya glanced briefly at Artemis, then Renji. "Sora, Jean, and Rena are outside as well. Let's go." There wasn't time for pleasantries, and he didn't have the time to waste on the two boys who were staying behind. They might be useful, but it seemed more an effort to keep them occupied and not worried about the mission. Busy work, so to speak.

He turned and walked back to rejoin the gathering force.

Heading here

[byname_bynature]

( Following Hitsugaya!)

[the_clown_king]

"Well!"

Tamaki exclaimed the word, blushing just slightly. "I suppose we should get started then. Should we collect Miss Sheska, do you think?" He had no idea what anyone thought of him and Ed, and really, he didn't care. As long as no one decided to make it some sort of daily news item, of course.

And now was time to keep spirits up. Ed and Renji and the others would succeed in their mission, and Tamaki had promised that the room would be ready to treat the injured.

He wasn't going to break that promise!

[bored_narrator]

Kyon, by now, moved completely away from the door. The amount of traffic that had come in and out had made it not worth it. So he leaned up against the wall a foot or so away from the door, instead.

Now, Kyon would have gone back to just watching in the back but suddenly his eye caught something that made his eye brows go up considerably. Not one to exaggerate emotion on his face, the brunette stared blatantly as Tamaki and Ed seemed to have ...kissed.

Wait. What!?

He thought that he had acted kinda friendly with eachother, he didn't think they were actually...

Err.

Snapping out of his semi-shock at Tamaki's sudden exclamation he studdered for half a second and responded, "Uh, sure. Help would ...help."

[the_clown_king]

"I met Miss Sheska last night," Tamaki said, remembering. He chalked Kyon's stutter up to fear and confusion. "Or, well, she was in the bathroom when I was. We didn't really talk, she was very busy with that other boy, Light. And I was busy with Hikaru and Renji." And it had been a horrid night all around.

"Though.... it's a very far room, and we may be attacked...." Hmmm. "Let's prepare for that, just in case!" He immediately began riffling through drawers and the like, looking for things that would help them if they had to fight - or run from - a monster.

[bored_narrator]

Kyon made his way over to the other as he talked. He stopped a few steps behind him and looked around. He guessed he should help him look. He didn't really like the idea of getting attacked, and if the gorey mess that had been Renji's arm was any indicator, the monsters weren't all that nice.

"Attacks must happen often, then," Kyon commented on how casually Tamaki seemed to say it. He honestly already new the answer, but he felt like getting confirmation. Also, he veinly hoped that maybe he would respond, 'Oh no! Almost never!' instead.

Not likely.

"What exactly are we looking for?"

[the_clown_king]

"Pretty often," Tamaki said, nodding. "Oh, anything we can use against monsters. I'm afraid I'm not very good with my sword yet. Not for real fighting, anyway."

Unfortunately, there didn't seem like much.

"I suppose we'll just have to brave the hallways, then!"

[bored_narrator]

Kyon agreed, save for the small amount of furnature the room was pretty barren. Well, whatever. If they were lucky, they would have anything to worry about. Kyon liked to hope on his luck often, anyways. It always came out right in the end. If it didn't he wouldn't be standing here right now.

Still, Kyon didn't like the idea of being defenseless. Tamaki had a sword, there had to be something he could use in the room.

Frustrated that there was nothing Kyon grunted and gave up. Alright, lets get this over with. He walked towards the door and waited for Tamaki.

[the_clown_king]

"Ah, well, I suppose we should just go...."

Tamaki was clearly nervous about leaving the room. What if they were attacked? Would he be able to protect Kyon? And not die? Well, he'd have to try!

"What if we run?" he suggested, staring from the door to Kyon and back. "Maybe if we're very fast, nothing will bother us...."

[bored_narrator]

It wasn't hard for Kyon to pick up on the nervousness coming from Tamaki. Now that he thought about it, running was probably a good idea. the less scary rabid monsters he ran into, the better. He wasn't exactly confident in the blondes sword skills either.

"Running sounds good, actually," He regreted not having any shoes but nothing could be done about it. "So long as you know where you're going, cause I'm blind in this place."

[the_clown_king]

"Right!" Tamaki nodded and threw open the door, ready to run. He at least knew the way to the girl's rooms.

"I do know where we're going! We'll be there quickly. Just keep up!" He nodded once more and flashed Kyon a bright smile, then began running towards the women's side of the wing...

Kyon honestly was mroe amused than anything at what just happened between Tamaki and Sheska-san, but he kept that look from his face as he retraced their steps back down the halls to where he was sure they had started.

He didn't quite remember the room number so he waited for Tamaki to point it out. He was sure he knew.
