[from hereRenji kept his pace to a fast walk, one hand still lightly against the wall as he headed for his room. He counted doorways; that would tell him which one was his, though he could have done just as well counting his paces, too ( Read more... )

[[From here.]]

Carrying Hitsugaya would be a lot easier if he was awake to hold onto her... if they ended up leaving again before he regained consciousness, Hokuto was saying to hell with his dignity and ripping up a bedsheet to tie him to her back. It was how people used to carry toddlers before baby-backpacks became popular, and she would feel a lot better knowing he wasn't about to slip bonelessly to the floor if she moved wrong.

At the rate she kept seeing shinigami losing blood after just using their powers, she was going to need to know more first aid... when they got into the room she went to see about easing him onto a bed. So much for exploring the basement tonight, probably; oh, well, it would give Subaru time to demand answers when his twin wasn't bandaged up.

Momo pushed the door to M47 open and quickly looked around, narrowing her eyes as she forced any spirit threads in the room to become visible to her. She only saw the ones she'd expected, that being the three of them, and she ushered Hokuto into the room.

"Find a flashlight," Momo said as she took Hitsugaya from the girl. If his weight bothered her at all, it didn't show, and she carried him over to one of the beds. Laying Hitsugaya gently down, she caressed his cheek as she sat sown next to him. She smoothed his hair back and gently ran a thumb over one of his eyebrows.

Suddenly feeling self-conscious, Momo withdrew her hand and sighed. She glanced over to check Hokuto's progress. She hoped Signum and Saber were okay.

Re: M47 akarusa November 29 2007, 04:22:32 UTC

Hokuto rummaged around as well as she could, but not being able to see made that a little difficult. She finally dug one up and clicked it on, hoping the batteries weren't half-dead. "Okay."

After a pause, she went to sit on the other bed; she might as well give the other two some space. Hitsugaya would hopefully wake up soon enough, and Momo seemed self-conscious enough about their relationship.

She wondered what the plan was now, since they might not be able to count on Signum and Saber showing up. Asking could wait, though; Momo might tell her without being prompted, and this didn't seem like the time to keep her talking.

Re: M47 hajike_tobiume November 29 2007, 04:35:20 UTC

Seeing the light click on, Momo stared at Hokuto for a long moment before waving her over.

"Let me have some light," she said. "Aim it at his chest."

Once the light reached the designated location, Momo went about checking Hitsugaya's vitals, her movements all indicating a level of caring that hadn't really been visible before. She knew what had happened, but she couldn't help it. She had to make sure there hadn't been something worse. Okay, maybe it was paranoia or a desperate need for him to be alright...

"Stupid," she muttered softly. "You should have let me cast it. You know my kidou is better suited to this place than yours..."

Re: M47 akarusa November 29 2007, 04:46:11 UTC

Hokuto asked softly, "Is there anything we can do for him?" The bathroom wasn't too far, she should be able to at least get water for him if that would help. All she could remember about blood loss was getting the person to drink lots of fluids--but wasn't it supposed to be juice? Dammit, if one of them had kept the bag with dinner in it...

She had no idea what to do, but hopefully Momo did. As always, she'd do as told.

Re: M47 hajike_tobiume November 29 2007, 04:51:49 UTC

"I can heal him," the shinigami replied as she smoothed Hitsugaya's hair back once again. Her hand traveled down to stop over his heart and she paused, preparing herself to cast. Remembering what tended to happen when she healed, Momo shifted her position on the bed so that when she coughed up blood it wouldn't land on Hitsugaya and hopefully not be noticed right away.

She began the incantation, searching for the right way to weave her reiatsu, when she cocked her head and the words trailed off. She shook her head a little to clear the cobwebs as she tried to remember exactly what it was that Artemis had said earlier about healing Hitsugaya.

Re: M47 akarusa November 29 2007, 05:01:02 UTC

"What's wrong?" Hokuto was really wishing she had some real magic instead of what amounted to little more than glamors. Even Subaru wouldn't have been able to do much, but... she was feeling helpless and not liking it. Everyone had their own strengths and weaknesses, yeah, but--well, she could be a hypocrite sometimes. What she had wasn't always enough.

Re: M47 hajike_tobiume November 29 2007, 05:12:27 UTC

Momo continued to wrack her brain. "Something Fowl-san said about healing back in the entrance..." She sighed and sat up, her hand resting casually against Hitsugaya's chest as she felt his heart beat.

"I wish I could remember exactly what he had said."

Re: M47 jei November 29 2007, 09:07:01 UTC

[coming from here]

Farfarello's entrance was made silently and warily, simply out of habit. When he was sure the room didn't contain a threat, he relaxed slightly and spoke. "Slightly less than five minutes." When one spent a lot of time alone in a cell without a clock, one got very good at marking time in one's head.

Re: M47 byname_bynature November 29 2007, 09:25:32 UTC

Artemis poked his head out from behind Farfarello's hip, "Ah! You made it! Wonderful!" He strode up to the bed, removing his jacket as he walked. Unfortunately, though valiant as his attempts to look cool were, his face was still showing signs of crying--among other things.

"Right... now it's my turn," he murmured, walking over to his dresser. He emerged with a pill bottle in his hand--one that would be familiar to Farfarello. There was a curious gold along the outside. "Not that you aren't perfectly capable, Miss Momo--I just thought that the Captain might not want to have the first thing he sees be you bleeding at the nose or mouth." He couldn't make eye contact with anyone yet--he was still too embarrassed ( ... )

Re: M47 whiteychan November 29 2007, 09:41:04 UTC

For a time, there was only darkness and a lack of sensation, lost in his own personal oblivion. Then there was a spark, a slight shimmer of light and a tingling sensation that started at his chest and moved throughout his body. It itched and tickled and sought out the hidden places where such a fierce release of reiatsu had nearly ripped his gigai apart, and the pain was gone, leaving only behind lingering memories of aching. He heard a voice he remembered say something, but the words made no sense as his mind still felt jumbled ( ... )

Re: M47 akarusa November 29 2007, 09:47:49 UTC

Hokuto was quite impressed with the show (and slightly jealous of what Artemis could do), but that wasn't as important as the tear marks on his face. Poor kid... she wasn't sure what adjusting well to this place would look like, but he certainly wasn't.

Putting the flashlight down, she put an arm across Artemis' shoulders as he started to move away. "It's okay," she said gently. "You don't have to be strong all the time." Subaru had been a little more willing to accept comfort and cuddles at 14 than at 17... and a lot more willing than he seemed to be at 18.

She was probably supposed to turn and bow to Hitsugaya, but--Momo had said it was okay to be casual. And this was important too.

Re: M47 hajike_tobiume November 29 2007, 18:07:24 UTC

Momo did not say anything to Farfarello when he and Artemis returns, she just looked at him and nodded. Good, she wasn't going to have to kill him. And seeing the better mental state Artemis was in upon his return, whatever the Irishman had said to the boy had worked and she was glad she'd trusted her gut and let the two have their time alone. She noticed the evidence of tears upon the boy's face, but didn't say anything since she knew exactly what it was like to cry ( ... )

Re: M47 jei November 30 2007, 03:54:57 UTC

Farfarello, of course, was not at all interested in all the affection and concern and warm nice feelings going around the room. In fact, all he wanted, at this point, was to get Artemis and get to his room so they could take care of that lesson and he could get on with his night.

Just grabbing the boy was probably not a good idea, though it was what Farfarello was inclined to do--but the shorties might take it as an act of violence and get all bitchy. He sighed, closing his eye for an instant and fighting for calm. Annoying, annoying, annoying, that's how this night was turning out so far. Like all the others here. Ugh.

"So, the captain's fine, can we move on, Artemis?" He couldn't keep the impatience out of his voice and he hovered near the door, ready to leave, now, okay?

Re: M47 byname_bynature November 30 2007, 04:06:08 UTC

Artemis looked up at Hokuto as though begging her to stand between him and Farfarello--but that would be murder. Manslaughter at the very least. He wasn't up for learning to fight now. All he wanted right now was to curl up in his bed and have someone watch over him.

This was a necessary evil, though. He stepped out of Hokuto's half-embrace towards Farfarello. "Well Captain," he said, his back still to Hitsugaya. His jaw was set in distaste--he should be looking at him. "As you can see I'm fine, so I'll be meeting with you in about an hour. Is this satisfactory?"

He didn't want to keep Farfarello waiting. The one-eyed assassin was probably annoyed enough right now.

Re: M47 whiteychan November 30 2007, 04:44:28 UTC

The presence of Farfarello certainly made things awkward. He wanted to deny the other man the chance to do whatever damage he was going to do to Artemis, but that was an honestly unrealistic goal. This was the boy's choice, and no matter how Hitsuaya felt about it, there wasn't anything he could do. His idiocy was his own.

He nodded slightly to Farfarello, as a sign of his appreciation, but that was it. Farfarello didn't seem particularly keen on being here, and there was no point in prolonging the uncomfortable and inevitable. "Noted. I'll see you then, Fowl. Don't be late." And don't get your dumbass killed.He turned to Momo...Momo...no, there wasn't time to think about that...and then to Hokuto. Half of Momo's team was MIA, and there was no telling where Omi and his friend were. It was conceivable that they were still stuck in the busses, but unlikely ( ... )
