The morning hadn't started out well. Beyond the fact that Kanin got about 2 hours of sleep over the entire night, there were narrative bubbles again - only these ones cycled between lying and just saying the most ridiculous things possible.
Alexi and Kanin simply promised each other that they wouldn't look at the stupid things (because they needed food and Kanin was not going to let the blond hide in the bathroom all day long again) and got to the Marketplace with relatively less drama than would have been expected...until Kanin lost track of Alexi.
He was so busy looking that he wasn't paying the greatest attention to people immediately surrounding him and walked right into some other man Kanin had never met before. His apologies were useless, as his bubble came up with new and interesting ways to comment on the man's size 'How many babies did you eat this morning to get that big?' every time Kanin opened his mouth. The situation escalated until the two men were shouting at each other and a crowd had started to gather. But when the other man shoved Kanin, calling him a "Wimpy little fucker," the brunet decided he'd had enough.
With all that yelling, people had begun to crowd around in a circle. A nearby sanitation worker looked up from his daily sweeping and cleaning up litter, pardoning himself as he went through the crowd as the yelling got louder and louder. And then the brown-haired one -hey, had they met before, by the way?- headbutted the other guy, knocking him back. The other was slightly stunned and wore a shocked look on his face before retorting, "ALRIGHT, NOW YOU'VE FUCKIN' DONE IT!!!" and lunging at the other guy. Before Sasuke really thought about it, the blond had tossed himself into the fray and kicked the attacker from behind, accidentally launching him right into the brunette.
Kanin's eyes narrowed as the other guy moved towards him. He took advantage of the fact the man was suddenly thrown a bit off balance and moved out of way, clenching his fist and hitting the other man square in the temple. "TOLDS YOU TO LEAVES ME THE FUCKS ALONE!" he bellowed, using his weight to shove the other man into the wall of a nearby stall, completely oblivious to the crowd at this point.
Sasuke stared for a moment, completely wide-eyed. It wasn't like they had to continue fighting like that, but now that it's been started, it looked like they didn't want to end it just yet. Well... FINE. The blond decided that before there could be any more trouble, he was going to stop them on his own. The other guy had gracelessly crashed into the stall. Its owner had jumped away quickly, frightened for his own safety when the man got up and shook his head a few times before huffing angrily and charging again. So Sasuke tried to push Kanin out of the way, jumping at him in hopes of knocking him down and aside before the other man would be able to reach them.
Kanin stood, fists at his side as he waited for the man to get closer. He looked like some oversized bull and Kanin knew that all he had to do was get the man down and this fight would be over.
There was a flash of blond hair in Kanin's peripheral vision, too short to belong to Alexi, and Kanin kicked out, ducking before the blond could reach him.
While he'd been distracted with that, the original attacker crashed into Kanin's back and the brunet brought his elbow out and up, more than satisfied with the crunch and the yell that told him he'd broken the man's nose.
The blond caught himself before he could collapse to the ground; landing on his palms, he extended one of his feet upward, hoping to catch either of the two crazy men. But he'd already kicked someone or something upward by the time that nasty crunch sound came, and he couldn't help but worry about what damage he might've done. If he wasn't already knocked out, the attacker was probably mad as hell. His voice rang out in some curdled, incoherent noise translating to pain, but his word bubble read: Hahaha, you pansy! That was like Strawberry Shortcake and her little pet Custard. Come on, I'll fix you good! And then Sasuke's kick connected, throwing the guy just in front of the stall. "You'd better stop, too!" he called to Kanin, but his word bubble said: Hey, you also want a piece of me? Put it there, Papa.
What the hell was this kid doing anyway? Kanin hadn't started this fight but he sure as hell was going to finish it. "Fuck you!" Kanin shouted, shoving Sasuke away even as his bubble cheerfully announced Thanks for helping! That was fun, let's do it again.
Turning back to the collapsed man in front of the now nearly-demolished stall, the brunet rushed up, kicking the still gurgling man hard in the temple. There was a flicker of a thought bubble above the man's head and then it was gone, but the brunet was still kicking.
Even though Sasuke was tossed away, the boy was pretty tenacious. He skidded a couple feet, noticing how the other was still attacking the original attacker. He couldn't let the guy beat the other to death, but it seemed that was exactly what he set out to do. "Whoa! Knock--IT--OFF!!!" Sasuke rush-tackled the brunet's legs, glomping and clinging to at least one of them. His thought bubble commented *SQUEE!!!* I love you! He held on tightly so that he couldn't easily be shaken or peeled off, but it didn't seem like he was going to stop. So Sasuke extended his leg at least once, knocking the near-dead body away before pulling it back and having a brilliant idea. Opening his mouth... ...he bit the brunet's knee. Hard. Clenching teeth like there was no tomorrow unless he took some meat out of it.
Kanin had managed to keep his balance once Sasuke grabbed him, but the sudden and unexpected pain erupting knee made him buck backwards, howling in pain even as his thought bubble decided that Ooh, that tickles! was appropriate.
Reeling to the side, Kanin crashed into what remained of the stall. As he tried to regain his footing, the brunet's head snapped back into the corner of a dislodged bit of wood.
For a second he saw and heard nothing.
The sound came rushing back first as Kanin realized he was falling, barely managing to throw his arms out in front of him as he crashed to the ground. Opening his eyes made him feel like he was going to throw up and he could barely make out Sasuke and the outline of the man who had attacked him before he blacked out.
"MMMMFF!! MMMMFFF!! MMMMMMMMMMMMHRMMM!!!" Sasuke was still holding on when the man was crashing; his bubble translated Tastes like chicken rotisserie!!! But once he and the other completely collapsed with a thud, the blond released his toothy grip and realized that biting someone's knee was as good as biting the post of a metal fence.
