[redpaperfan]

[ arms folded over his chest, Sasuke has eluded - supposedly - his older brother, and is now standing on the Ninth Level. ]

Whenever you're ready, Kaname.

[Kaname appears to be somewhere on the ninth level already. He looks collected, like this challenge isn't a product of boredom.]

I'm ready.

[redpaperfan]

Starting off with me trying to find you, then?

[ this kid's ready to go. he'll find you. ]

[bloodpiece]

[Kaname's not planning to try terribly hard to mask his trail. But it's gonna be a wild chase.]

Exactly.

You'll have to try your best to keep up. I'm fast.

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke is so on your trail. SO ON IT. In other words, the kid's catching hints of where you are, and he's ready for the chase to begin. Oh yeah, this Ninja is going to prove the other... person is not as fast as he is! ]

I'll just have to be faster!

We start

[A pause for effect. This was such a bad idea in hindsight, but it's too late to regret this in the face of that enthusiasm.]

Now.

[And the target is now moving! He wasn't kidding about his speed, even though that's his "slow speed".]

[redpaperfan]

[ Sasuke is so remembering this when he gets older again, and he will be quite curious as to why you played tag with an eight year old.

And how fast you can really go, but as an eight year old, he careens after you at a respectable speed, even if his way of dodging and turning involves using surfaces or planes of his body you normally wouldn't - ouch, and he just body-checked the wall.

HE WILL GET YOU. He's just doing it... creatively. ]

[bloodpiece]

[Kaname will deal with the older Sasuke when it happens. For now, he'll adjust his speed so that you have half a chance of catching him.

Creatively? That may have been a laugh or a breath. It's hard to tell the difference.]

[redpaperfan]

[ HAHA! You have fallen into his trap!

Okay, you haven't, but that slowing down has been met with a grim smile and a burst of speed, and Sasuke is fully intent on pouncing you. Or trouncing you, it's about the same. So close! ]
