"I meant this thing!" Kyou demanded an explanation for whatever it was that was lifting him off the ground. It wasn't that he was afraid of heights or anything - it wasn't even too high up for that matter - he just didn't like the fact that something that he couldn't see was doing it. And it looked like Yoshimori knew something about it.
Kyou suddenly saw something. It was the fin again and it was heading towards Yoshimori. He opened his mouth to warn the other boy but was too late. The shark had hit Yoshimori, a visible cut forming at his leg.
It didn't take long for the shark to change it's course and head towards him. The orange-haired boy cursed underneath his breath. Being trapped in whatever he was in meant that he couldn't even try to attack the creature.
The shark lunged itself towards Kyou. He shielded himself expecting the worst. A sudden impact crashed right in front of him. It had thrown him off-balance and he fell backward onto his butt. Slowly opening his eyes, he came face-to-face with the creature. It was not able to penetrate whatever it was that surrounded him and had landed on it's face. There was no doubt about how aggravated the thing had looked. It dove back underneath the sand, possibly devising its next move.
Kyou immediately got back on his feet and took a look at where Yoshimori was standing. He slammed a closed fist that the barrier. He repeated the action with his other fist. "Look, let me out of here! It's not like you're the only one who could fight again that thing. Stop being such a hero!"
It's not like he's the only one who could fight it... It's not like he's so arrogant to think that only he could deal with these monsters. During his time here, he has seen several others with surprising abilities that could probably hold their own. This guy could probably do something like that. He just... he just doesn't want any more people dying. Even if they're strong, anyone could still end up dying in a fight like this. Like Gen...
He can handle this himself. Kyou shouldn't have to risk himself too.
"Shut up. You can get down when I'm done with this." He tried to set a few barriers to push the shark out, but they kept missing. "Damn."
"Hey!" He banged his fist once more as he watched Yoshimori try to catch the shark.
Kyou wasn't going to just stand out there and watch as that kid battled some sand creature. He had to help somehow, if only he could somehow get out of that stupid barrier.
Wait a minute. Wasn't that shark able to get out if it after moving around? Kyou then braced himself as he threw his body at the wall a couple of times, hoping that he could somehow get the same result as the shark had earlier.
He continued his efforts a couple more times before the barrier gave way. His momentum however was too much and had launched him flying through the air as the barrier broke. He tried to steady himself so he could fall somewhat decently but had misjudged his trajectory somewhat, landing painfully on his arm.
A small grunt of displeasure escaped his mouth. He was in pain. It wasn't unbearable but it was still enough to make him wince. Pushing himself back onto his feet, he ran towards Yoshimori. "You're not the only one taking this damn thing on!"
"HOW'D YOU-" He was surprised, but was glaring and pointing at Kyou. The question wasn't really necessary and was said out of reflex, so he cut himself off. He already sensed what happened to his barrier. His main concern was that Kyou was now open to being shark food. That idiot. He even wants to fight it too. He'd be rubbing his temples now if he wasn't preoccupied. Speaking of which, he raised a barrier as a wall in front of them. Seconds later, the shark banging into it underground could be heard.
"Fine, can you knock it out or something when I get it up in the air?" He didn't like putting people in danger without knowing if they can handle it, but might as well try to get rid of it before it eats him!
Kyou ignored Yoshimori's question, instead keeping his attention on that shark. "Shouldn't you--" Before he could finish his question a barrier had gone up and a crash was heard. Looks like that shark was not going to let up until he's had his fill.
A quick pang coursed through his arm, and his other arm shot up to massage the area. Maybe that fall was worse than he had thought. Augh, not now. He'd probably have to have that checked later.
Fighting away the pain, he listened to the instructions Yoshimori had given him. If it had been any other situation, he may not have listened to someone like him but he was willing to push his pride aside, seeing as this wasn't the time or place for it. "You're gonna try to do what you did last time?" He wasn't sure if he would be able to attack well enough if the thing were too high up but it was worth a shot, right?
He nodded in approval before balling his hands. "Do it."
"Alright." Yoshimori kept his breathing steady and cleared his mind as much as he could. He was in his battle stance, two fingers raised in front of his face. Though his previous attempts have failed, he got a grasp of the shark's movement. Combined with what he learned of seeing things just as they are, it didn't take long for him to keep track of the patterns it made. After a while, he got a lock on the perfect timing.
"It's heeere!" Swinging his arm up, a barrier bumped to the shark from below, pushing it as well as a lot of the sand upwards. The area affected was a bit large, but he had to make sure he hit his mark this time.
