It was a decent walk from his new place in Sector 4 to the baseball diamond where the new arrivals always landed, and Kazuma had walked it at a decently fast pace. He wasn't running, though he wanted to, but he wanted even less to freak the poor girl out by showing up panting and exhausted. They had to beat the clock, though, because if those sirens went off...

He didn't want to think about that.

He made it to the diamond, walking past the greeters with an annoyed grunt. She was the only person in the actual area, and though he didn't know what the girl looked like it was easy to figure out who Nadeko was.

He could feel it. The actual Darkness that came with the sirens and night creeping up out of the shadows and the corners of the city. It felt like the harder he ran with her, the faster it came.

And then... the sirens started.

She jumped as soon as she heard the sirens start, eyes widening again as her breath caught in her throat again, just for a moment. She looked around. A siren. A warning, right? What was it warning them of?

Whatever it was, it was making her companion more uncomfortable. She squeezed his hand a little harder, holding on as tightly as she could manage.

Kazuma slowed down, breathing hard and watching as the city darkened to near pitch black, the walls around them starting to decay. Everything that was metal rusted within seconds and stone looked as though it was crumbling away. There were no stars visible in the sky, only a distant, pale moon that provided no light.

"W... we gotta... shit! C-come on!" he swore sharply, voice cracking. He started tugging her along again, hoping to find some place to hide.

Nadeko couldn't agree more; they had to get somewhere inside of ... somewhere. At the moment, she didn't care where she went, so long as it was away from ... whatever was going on with this place.

She did what she could to keep up, running so quickly that she didn't even notice the pain in her muscles anymore.

kazumaking January 13 2011, 12:02:48 UTC

They made it a few more blocks before all hell finally broke loose. The sirens stopped, which gave way to the shuffling sounds of something very near by. Occasionally a disturbing moan could be heard, but at first it was difficult to tell where they were coming from.

Kazuma rounded a corner and instantly stopped, causing Nadeko to run in to his back. Not that he cared - she was safer back there anyway.

"S-stay behind me..." he said, unable to hide the fear in his voice. Still, he forced his legs in to a proper stance, putting his fists up. The thing before him was disgusting, a mass of flesh with legs and no arms or head, just stumbling along with a giant gaping hole in its chest.

Nadeko recovered a little from running into his back, peeking over his shoulder at what was approaching. Her eyes widened, and her breath hitched in her throat. She couldn't look away. It was something she had never seen in reality before, and she ... couldn't look away.

She forced herself to look at Kazuma, surprised at what he was doing; he'd taken a stance. He was going to fight it. He was going to ....

"You're going to fight it?" She asked, her voice trembling. This sort of thing only ended well in RPGs, and even then, there was a .... phoenix down or life bottle or something to revive a party member if the worst happened. And you could always try again if a boss wipes you out.

You just could't do that sort of thing in real life! It didn't happen like that!

kazumaking January 13 2011, 12:19:03 UTC

"Shut up, let me concentrate," Kazuma snapped under his breath, watching the thing's jerky, uneven movements. It was getting closer, showing no signs of backing away or going a different direction. Even blind it already knew where they were ( ... )

snakeconstrict January 13 2011, 12:47:39 UTC

Nadeko squeaked and did as she was told when Kazuma snapped at her, but couldn't help but cry out as she saw what happened afterward. She wasn't the one who got hurt, though; she was more worried for the boy who was helping her.

"A-Are you all right?!"

This ... was just a bad dream, right? A nightmare. She stayed up too late playing some game, and this was her punishment for it. None of this was happening.

If that were the case ... why did it feel so real?

kazumaking January 13 2011, 12:59:33 UTC

"I'm fine..." Kazuma hissed, putting a hand over the blisters and wincing. It was still a minor injury compared to what it could have been, just by looking at what was left of the sleeve of his jacket.

"We need to keep moving," he insisted, grabbing his laptop bag and her hand again.

snakeconstrict January 13 2011, 13:08:13 UTC

"R-Right ..." She grasped his hand, continuing to follow him to ... wherever they were going off to.

This has to be some nightmare ... I'll wake up any moment now, right?

kazumaking January 13 2011, 13:16:01 UTC

Kazuma could only wish it was a nightmare, but he'd already been close to the Darkness once. This time he was in it, and he knew that the fear he felt the first time wasn't as blown out of proportion as he thought it was. This was downright terrifying, and he was more scared for the girl than he was for himself ( ... )

snakeconstrict January 13 2011, 13:32:16 UTC

Nadeko's first instinct at this was to pull on the arm of Kazuma's that she had, desperately trying to keep him from being dragged completely in the direction of that .... thing. Whatever it was. It was creepy, that's what it was.

If she could get close enough, she might be able to kick it and stun it or something ... but getting close might have the adverse affect.

kazumaking January 13 2011, 13:53:20 UTC

"Nn-- LET GO YOU FUCKING FREAK!" Kazuma shrieked at the thing, clinging to Nadeko's arm with his hand while his legs and other arm flailed frantically. The thing was still dragging him, but holding on to Nadeko had kept him from being swept up entirely.

He was afraid. He didn't want to die out there. He didn't want some one else to see him die, and he sure as hell didn't want to leave Nadeko alone. The more he struggled, the more he felt something strange and new rising inside him. It wasn't quite anger, but it was certainly an adrenaline rush. He groaned, yanking his arm back as hard as he possibly could. The tonuge released him rather suddenly as the creature let out a shocked cry of its own, and Kazuma went tumbling back past Nadeko, momentarily dazed.

snakeconstrict January 13 2011, 14:04:38 UTC

He was still holding onto her hand, so when he tumbled back, she was pushed back a little as well. One leg gave out from under her, but she quickly got back to both feet and rushed over to make sure he was okay.

"We have to keep going!" She hurriedly reminded him, tugging on his hand and trying to help him to his feet.

kazumaking January 13 2011, 14:09:28 UTC

Kazuma wanted to move. He knew what she was saying and wanted nothing more than to keep running to find some place safe. But his body wasn't responding. He was suddenly achy all over, his bones feeling as though they were going to snap from non existent pressure on his body.

"Hnng... s-something's wrong..." he groaned, curling in to a ball on the ground and putting his hands over his head. The creature, however, had recovered and was lurching towards them again.
