~26~ [video] ♥

[inpiecesofcloud]

[It’s a video of the ruins. And of a familiar pink kid. And while perhaps some have noticed lately that she hasn’t always been quite her normal, jovial self, she looks especially off right now. Something has clearly got her quite perturbed and has for a little while now. On her face is a look of deadly seriousness that could rival that of Byakuya

[Action!]

[lightofvengence]

[He growls faintly, digging his claws in just a little bit tighter. Pretty strong for such a tiny brat. She just seems more delicious by the minute.]

Stop squirming, little kitten, or I'll scar up that pretty face of yours real good.

[Whether he means accidentally with his fangs or on purpose with his claws is open to interpretation. As it is, he uses the first opening he gets and takes a rather violent nip at her ear. Time for a taste-test!]

[Action!]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[She kicks her feet, aiming for his gut or groin or anything she can reach, and throws her head back with the aim of slamming it into Lucian's forehead. She feels his teeth close on her ear and she shrieks again, a battlecry.]

Get off me!

[Action!]

[lightofvengence]

[Kicking an armored opponent goes about as well as one might expect. That headbutt, however, manages to hit home. The vampire snarls, releasing her ear and losing his grip on her arms.]

Annoying little brat!

[Action!]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[Armor is totally cheating! But she uses his loosening grip to tear away from him, launching off of his chest and away from him to flip through the air and land neatly on the ground a few feet away, facing him. She snaps her scabbard up into her left hand and falls into a fighting stance.]

You're gonna regret sneaking up on me. And eating Luli up! I'll have to make you pay for both!

[She smiles, grim but manic. There is a streak of joy in her for a good fight, despite the anger that is still making waves of energy flow from her body.

She barely waits a beat before launching herself back at him like a little pink missile, lightning fast spinning through the air and aiming her sword for his arm and her scabbard for the side of his head.]

[In his GREAT PANIC, Break has hit the wrong button and broadcasts the right half of his face. It also looks like he's on the move. Like heading down a fire escape that's attached to the side of their building.]

Yachiru! Yachiru!

[Not again not again not again not again not again he can't let it happen again-]

[Video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[Several moments pass before she can reply. A little bloody, a little out of breath and still a lot pissed off she picks up her Forge.]

He disappeared! That's cheating!

[Especially since she can't read his energy properly so she can't shunpo after him.]

[Video]

[break_onthru]

[There's a moment of relief to hear her replying to him, but he's never been so angry to be unable to see what the little glowing screen on the Forge is showing him.]

Are you all right? Are you hurt? Where are you?

[Video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

I would have beat him!

[There's a thump as she whacks her scabbard against the ground.]

He was out in the ruins, so that's where I am. I have to find him! Stupid! Disappearing is cheating if you don't have reiatsu!

[Another thump of her scabbard for good measure. She's mad!]

Kusajishi-fukutaichou!

[ There is still a great deal of urgency in his voice, though some of his concern has been abated - Yachiru has revealed herself to be all right, albeit injured. Thank goodness. ]

Please allow me to assist you.

[inpiecesofcloud]

Can you find him, Ukki? He doesn't have reiatsu!

[This is her current definition of assistance.]

[maelstroms]

I will certainly do my best to locate him-

[ And someone will try their very darnedest to work their way around that particular definition. ]

-if you agree to let me check on you, first.

[inpiecesofcloud]

He only cut me up a little! Look!

[She turns her arm to the screen to show him the deep gashes Lucian's claws left there. There's a little cut on her forehead, too, and probably a few more injuries she's not sharing with him because they won't help her argument.]

I have to finish the fight!

[halcyonthird]

Yachiru. I---

[Yes, it has happened before. She's not discounting that, but suddenly the thing that is no longer Lucian is behind you and really, she is not sticking around to watch this - she's on her way to the ruins.]

[video] 2/2

[halcyonthird]

[The feed is now a blur of motion. Yeah, fuck words right now.]

No.

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

[A moment passes, maybe two before Yachiru picks up the Forge again. But she knows Irene cares about what happens to the real Lucian, too, so maybe she'll be easier to convince to help her continue the fight.]

Irrie-chan! Help me find him!

[video]

[halcyonthird]

I will.

[...]

Are you still alone?

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

I guess! But Xerbie and Ukki are coming to help me, too, I think!
