Night 47: Activities Shed

[whos_da_man]

[from here]Following Asuka into the dark shed, Junpei relied upon the girl to present the light and he took a better grip on the bat. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any creepy crawlies, but he was prepared as much as he could for some. The last time he'd been in the shed there wasn't anything, but the damn place was prime nesting grounds for things

Comments

[scintillatingly]

Sora didn't like the idea of Kairi being out there on her own any more than Riku did, but it wasn't like she was unarmed or anything. She had been the first person to volunteer, and Sora was doing his best to treat the girl as an equal. He knew that was what she wanted, and hopefully Riku could come to understand that, too.

For that reason, he decided not to say anything in response to Riku's comment about it. If they started arguing, it would just waste time and lead to Kairi being out there on her own for even longer. The Keyblade Master focused on his search, though all he was really finding were different kinds of balls and some padding. As far as weapons went, maybe the bats really were their best bet.

Glancing up when Riku spoke again, Sora frowned and then sighed. "It doesn't work that way, Riku," he said as he moved over to the other boy and grabbed a bat himself - one of the hard, metal ones. "This place isn't easy to do stuff in, so the only way to get around is by working together with others. Sometimes that means doing a favor." He tucked the bat under his arm and then gave the shed one last look-over.

"Anyway, can you carry one of these? Two should be enough." It was better than nothing, in any case.

A favor, of course-Sora was the type who would bother to do favors for other people, and it was why he was the keyblade master. Riku could admire that all he wanted, but when it came down to it, it was only another contradiction in their dispositions. They weren't that much alike, after all, and that was important. But maybe he had to follow Sora's lead now. It wouldn't be easy and he would try to do things his own way, but that wouldn't change his general reaction to things.

"Yeah, I'll take it," he told Sora, moving over to grab the bat from his hands. "What're we gonna do with them now that we have them?" The obvious question needed to be posed. If the beginning of their next nightshift really did turn into dropping off weapons for some club, he would leave Sora to do it. There were more important things.

Now that each of them had a bat in hand, Sora figured that they'd done enough. He hoped that Hitsugaya wasn't expecting more, but this was as much as he felt comfortable carrying around. They were already going to have their hands full, and it would be even worse if they had to call out their Keyblades for any reason.

"Just take them with us," Sora replied to Riku's question. He thought he'd explained that already, but he wasn't going to pick a fight about it right now. They still had a lot to do, and he wasn't sure how much of the night was already behind them. They might not get to the basement after all, but they still had to try. And maybe Riku would find this part more interesting.

"Anyway, Kairi's waiting," he said, quickly heading for the door and back out to the third member of their group.
