Kaoru 1 [Action]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[There's an angry redhead all up in your city, doing laps as if he's either looking for something, or trying to tire himself out. He might be dressed a little oddly in green trousers and a white rollneck shirt with billowing sleeves that are far too long to be practical, but don't let that put you off. His outfit was a lot worse when he got off the

[[One of the doors he tries leads him into what appears to be a combination of a clock shop and a jewellery shop. There's also a piano, and several metal teapots on display. The person behind the counter looks up and sighs softly.]]

Calm down and sit down and tell me who you're looking for. [[She sounds like she wants to be snippy, but is holding back and trying to be polite.]]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

I'm looking for my brother! And my friend! [he's a little too frantic to notice, too busy checking around corners. Clearly they're not here. He'd better be moving on.] If you've not seen them, I need to be moving on...

[ergaleomancer]

Wait. [[Her tone is urgent, but not loud. It's not her problem if he can't be bothered to listen.]]

There's a faster way to find them, if you'll calm down.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[he's almost at the door, but she stops him. If Hikaru's dying in a ditch somewhere, he needs to get to him as quickly as possible] What kind of way?

[blade_of_jashin]

[If Kaoru isn't looking where he is going he might stumble over what looks like a corpse.

Splayed across the ground in a bloody circle lies a albino man, a pike sticking crookedly from his chest, blood dribbling down from his mouth]

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[consumed by his search he very, very nearly just tramples right over him, but at the last second he grinds to a halt and looses his balance, landing gracelessly with a thump. He stares for a moment until he realises he very much is seeing what he's seeing, and scoots forward on his knees, trying to avoid the blood.]

Oh... oh my god, are you all right? [mentally kicking himself. Evidently the stranger is not all right, people don't lose that much blood or wander around with things sticking out of them as if they're magically okay. What's he meant to do with that, anyway? Pull it out? No no, that's not right, if he pulls it out things will be worse, right?]

[blade_of_jashin]

[The man groaned, one purple eye opening to look at the frightened redhead. Honestly, wasn't he allowed at least a few moments of peace to pray? He couldn't do it in the apartment because Kakuzu's staring was getting to him, so he had done it outside, by the wall and of course some kid comes stumbling by.

He licks some blood off of his lips, lazily, bloodloss making his mind a bit fuzzy.] M'fine.... Piss off.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

Y- [trying so hard to be tough and no-nonsense, but you really scared him. He sets his mouth into a line, trying to ignore the fact that he stammered at all and visibly composing himself before speaking] You're lying in a pool of your own blood. You're going to hospital, and I'm not pissing anywhere.

[Uh...] ...where is the hospital in this place?

[holmes_fanatic]

[Oh, great. One of the irritating red-heads that may or may not have hit on Ran that one time. Conan raises an eyebrow, but once he's ascertained that Kaori doesn't seem very interested in the coffee shop where Conan is currently reading, settles down to ignore him.

Unfortunately, Kaory's loud and Conan wasn't exactly in a great mood to start with. So have an eight-year-old leaning out of the coffee shop window to yell.]

They're not here!

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[Not exactly illuminating, but he's gonna turn and bellow right back from halfway down the street]

Well where are they then?!

[holmes_fanatic]

Wherever they were when you left them!

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[pissed off, marching back up the street. His patience is kind of wearing thin]

Look, kid, if I'm here, they've got to be, too. Or at least Hikaru should be. [because wherever they go, they go together.]

Also, it would be more profitable for a kidnapper to take the both of us.

{{Kyouya is wandering around, occasionally talking into the pocketwatch, when he sees Kaoru creating a time warp to end all time warp. Slowly placing the watch in his pocket, he raises his arm and yells to Kaoru}} Kaoru! {{at this distance, he doesn't see how worried Kaoru is and what exactly the Hitachiin is doing. HE'S COVERED IN RUFFLES, KAORU D8}}

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[wait, what was that?! He stumbles slightly, altering course for what is now the only familiar thing he can find in this god-forsaken town. He comes to a stop beside Kyouya doubling over, gasping for breath]

Kyouya... Kyouya-senpai... [too much running. Only now does he feel the stitch in his side, how much his legs ache and feet hurt from running in his stupid cosplay shoes] [with a touch of desparation] Hikaru... Hikaru and Haruhi... I can't find them senpai...!

[ko1122]

{{Oh shit. Kyouya leans forward and places his hands on Kaoru's shoulders}} I don't think there's anyone here from Ouran besides the two of us. {{pulls out the pocketwatch}} Or else I would have seen it on the network.

{{but...}} Kaoru, what happened to Hikaru and Haruhi?

Emo icons are emo.

[uchimata_ja_nai]

[he hasn't even looked at the network yet. Oops. He kept hold of the pocket watch though, since it looked kind of important. He coughs behind one hand - you know that feeling when you've run too far and your chest feels like it's simultaneously freezing and on fire? He has that.]

We... we hit something, he only took his eyes off the road for one second I swear... I managed to grab Haruhi but...
