[CLOSED] PART II yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 10:59:53 UTC

So he didn't quite understand the system yet. Yosuke knew to head home when the hayrides packed up, and he knew that the annoying wailing sound meant it would be dark soon. He'd been told a dozen times over the first night-don't get caught out after dark ( ... )

"Yosuke..?"

It wasn't Souji that he'd contacted, but Shikamaru. In a way, that was probably fortunate; Shikamaru was already out on patrol. But he was in Sector 4, and who the hell knew where Yosuke might be.

Regardless, Shikamaru started moving immediately. Leaping from rooftop to rooftop as he began his search, he brought his NV close to his face so he could keep talking: "Yosuke. Your location. Give me landmarks or something, but keep moving."

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 11:20:29 UTC

Yosuke didn't recognize the voice on the other end of the line, but the voice seemed to know him. He stopped, and glanced nervously around for landmarks. He was also looking for himself, but...would that other him really give up so easily? It seemed that way. He was nowhere in sight. "I don't know. Uh. Uh. There's-" his eyes finally landed on a sign that was partially legible. "There's a bakery ( ... )

underachieves October 5 2011, 11:35:48 UTC

Bakery? What the hell kind of clue was that? Shikamaru opened his mouth to yell as much to Yosuke, but the other cut him off with a scream. Okay, so much for that. Yosuke would probably have been on his way home, so close but just not close enough. Bakeries within a reasonable distance of the Tower Apartments: 7. Seven bakeries to check out, less than a minute to do it in.

The only choice was to go higher. Shikamaru jumped and turned to run up the side of the next building over, scaling the wall until he was high enough to get a good view of the streets below.

There.

Shikamaru grabbed one of the vials from his pocket and sucked down a mouthful of V. Three seconds later, he was on the street. Fast as a blur, he reached out to hook an arm around Yosuke and drag him to safety.

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 11:51:47 UTC

Yosuke had tripped up and rolled partway down a small embankment a few moments before, then scrambled back up to the road surface. He was running on adrenaline, so when a strange, dark shadow swooped down and tugged on him he fought back.

The younger boy yelped, and struggled, and threw out a mule-kick and a couple of punches. "You're me! You're me, whatever! I accept you!" It was a long shot, sure, but it had worked the last time he'd attacked himself.

He grasped his bleeding shoulder again with a pained whine and limped as quickly as he could in the opposite direction that the thing was trying to pull him in. "SOUJI! SOUJI OVER HERE! JIRAIYA! GARU! Garugarugarugaru..."

The words Yosuke was shouting at the top of his lungs probably sounded like jibberish to most people, but at least one of them probably meant something to his unfortunate rescuer.

underachieves October 5 2011, 11:58:25 UTC

"I'm not - your Shadow - you idiot..!" It was difficult enough to move quickly with another person in tow, and made a dozen times more difficult when that person was repeatedly hitting him in the face. It meant he couldn't even get a second to capture Yosuke with Kage Mane.

However, he did have enhanced strength thanks to the V he'd just ingested. Rather than attempt to argue, he simply scooped Yosuke up in his arms like a damsel and jumped for the nearest roof.

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 12:10:43 UTC

Yosuke yelped again and reached toward the ground uselessly. Holy shit the thing was kidnapping him or something. Uh. Teennapping him. Whatever, he was being stolen by-huh. When the thing scooped him up like a bride -jeez that was embarrassing, he was leaving that part out when he told Souji about this-he finally got a hazy, mostly-shaded look at it. It looked human-shaped, just like the rest of them. It made some aggravated sound at him that didn't even register, and then it ran up the side of a building. Like a lizard or a spider or a snake. It was definitely not human. Yosuke gasped ( ... )

underachieves October 5 2011, 12:20:27 UTC

But the "monster" didn't drop him. Instead, as soon as they reached the roof, Shikamaru only paused to glance back over the side of the building. Whatever had attacked Yosuke didn't seem to be following them. Good news for both of them.

Of course the bad news was that Yosuke was disoriented and possibly in shock, and definitely bleeding profusely from a stab wound. Not likely to die (unless some more monsters happened upon them) but it was still a bad situation.

"Yosuke, listen to me: I'm not a Shadow. I'm not a monster. You called me with your NV. You remember that?"

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 12:35:35 UTC

Huh? It knew his name. And-oh, hell. NV. He had called someone, hadn't he? Someone that wasn't Souji. He shook his head and dropped his arms from this guy's neck. Was he alive? Oh, man. He'd totally kicked the crap out of him a minute ago, too.

Yosuke groaned, and tried to apologize, but his throat was still going. "Down." He squawked out shakily. He didn't want to puke on someone who had come to rescue him.

underachieves October 5 2011, 12:39:57 UTC

"Tch..."

He knew that look, but he still wasn't about to just drop Yosuke (even if the overwhelming urge was there). Shikamaru took a few steps toward the center of the roof and carefully set Yosuke down there, safe away from the ledge. Then he took a few steps back to get well out of his way.

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 12:50:19 UTC

Yosuke dropped to his knees and then forward onto his palms. He was trembling all over with unused adrenaline that had nowhere to go except for through his system until it ran itself out. It felt a little like being hit by a lightning spell, which he was none too fond of seeing how it was his weakness ( ... )

underachieves October 5 2011, 12:57:55 UTC

Shikamaru watched all of this, impassive, from his place behind Yosuke. These were, of course, symptoms he recognized very well from his own experience, but it wasn't quite the time for lecturing Yosuke on that yet.

Instead, once Yosuke was finished dry-heaving, Shikamaru shuffled back over to him and crouched down to examine his wounds. "I can fix this right now," he uttered. "It'll make it easier for us to get back to the boarding house. Take off your shirt for a second?"

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 13:05:43 UTC

Yosuke's cheeks went pink again. It wasn't such a big deal if it was someone he knew, but to be half naked in front of a stranger was a little awkward. He really needed to start doing sit ups or something. That way he would have abs for people to look at instead of just ribs. But a healing sounded nice. His shoulder was still like a white hot poker of pain. The knife might as well still be in there, even though it wasn't ( ... )

underachieves October 5 2011, 13:15:18 UTC

Box-of-Yosuke-stuff-guy could recognize pain when he saw it, but a single thought of judgment never crossed his mind. He noticed Yosuke's different physique only passively, both because the kid looked underfed and because he looked so much younger than the Yosuke that Shikamaru remembered. Mostly, though, Shikamaru was concentrating on the matter at hand: those bloody gashes that needed treatment.

He reached into his pocket for another vial of V. Hesitant to make Yosuke drink the stuff (because he'd come to realize it was highly addictive), he instead tipped the vial to drip the red liquid into the wounds themselves. And the wounds responded instantly, the skin weaving itself back together to heal perfectly in just seconds.

yosukecantstop October 5 2011, 13:36:18 UTC

Yosuke flinched when the liquid hit his skin, expecting the sting of a disinfectant. Instead, a pleasant, slightly tingly haze swept over him. He groaned quietly yet again, but this time in pleasure. Even the shivering slowed and then stopped with the warmth of the fluid as it seeped into the wound and began to mend it immediately. Like magic.

After the pain of the stab wound subsided and the damage reversed itself, Yosuke stared at the spot where the wound had been. "No way!" He crowed cheerfully. The faintness and nausea of a few moments ago were already forgotten, and so was the twisted ankle. Yosuke sprang up triumphantly to his feet and raised both arms over his head before he remembered to play it cool...and hastily put his shirt back on. "Are you a wizard or something?"

underachieves October 5 2011, 13:44:31 UTC

Shikamaru tried to keep a straight face, but he couldn't help cracking a smile at that. "Not a wizard, idiot. It's just medicine. And I'm just a shinobi." It was a relief to see Yosuke recover so quickly, even if the wounds hadn't been that bad to begin with. Shikamaru had been a little worried that Yosuke would pass out due to fear alone.

He climbed to his feet too, tucking the vial away. "We shouldn't stick around here too long. We're still not safe from the monsters. Can you run fast, or should I carry you again... princess?"
