What was I thinking? Am I that desperate for activity?

...I suppose it doesn't matter how pathetic my life is, if I can continue to keep Takumi alive and well.

It's important to find others to train with, no matter how hopeless they may be... And I can't trust them just yet. Perverted panty freaks.

[Damian keeps on his toes, ready to keep after him.]

Never.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

It's rude to interrupt people who are meditating, you know.

[heirdom]

I don't care.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Do you care about anyone but yourself?

[heirdom]

Yes, I do.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

That's news to me. I suppose I don't get that common courtesy, hm?

[heirdom]

No.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

I wonder how many times I'll need to rub your face in the dirt before you learn a little respect.

[heirdom]

You don't deserve my respect.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Do you think you deserve mine, Damian Wayne?

[heirdom]

[Displeased!]

Tt. I don't want your respect.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

At least you're not a complete idiot for expecting the impossible. You're still a selfish kid who does nothing but take his frustrations out on others, and you're too immature to admit defeat. Fighting you isn't even challenging for me. I'm certainly not benefiting me.

So why would I continue wasting my time with someone like you, who is actually a kid in every sense of the word?

[heirdom]

Tell me something I haven't heard a million times from other idiots who think they know me because they've spoken to me once or twice and read a couple journal entries. Shut the fuck up, Okuzaki Akira. You don't know anything about me.

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ okay so what...he learned her name, too ]

It has nothing to do with what you've said, not that that's helping your case. You attack random strangers out of the blue. If you've heard it a million times, then maybe you should start paying attention and recognize that you're the one with the problem.

You're a borderline stalker. If this knowledge doesn't concern you, then you ought to consider therapy.

[heirdom]

Like I said: you don't have a clue. You going to fight me or are you going to keep flapping your jaw until I break it?

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

Neither. I've already said that fighting you doesn't benefit me.

[ just a dismissive roll of her eyes before she turns to walk away ]

[heirdom]

[shouting after]

Because, AGAIN, you don't know anything about me!

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

I know all I need to know! You're a brat who can't even put up a challenging fight!

[ this thread needs more ~*niceness*~ -- in the form of this boy who has spotted Akira and is now jogging over to see what the problem is. she was shouting.. but at who? he's never seen that person before. so, from a slight distance; ]

.. Akira-kun!

[setsubousuru.livejournal.com]

[ blinks in surprise at the voice, turning back a bit to look over ]

Takumi? What are you doing out here?

[heirdom]

[Normally, he wouldn't even dream of it, given how risky it is to just go around starting fights, but he doesn't even think about it this time. He's just mad. Mad that people keep making these assumptions. Mad that people think a couple bad mistakes sum up the entirety of kind of person he is. Mad that this bastard thinks, after a couple short encounters, that he's figured Damian out, when, in fact, he couldn't be more wrong, or more shallow.

His hands curl into fists for a second, and he moves forward. It's easy to slip into something more akin to his old style, fast and merciless, but still treading the last line. He can't be lethal.

Damian moves, seizing the moment. An airborne kick connects with Akira's chest, sending them both to the ground, and Damian recovers immediately, moving to pin Akira and punch him across the face once, and then twice.

In one swift move, taking advantage of the surprise, Damian pulls the knife from his boot and runs it in one smooth stroke up Akira's sternum, from navel to collarbone. It's a skilled motion, barely nicking the skin, but clearly capable of cutting with the slightest bit more pressure.

He growls:]

Underestimate me again and you'll bleed out right here.

[ GOD FUCKING COCKER DAMNIT TAKUMI. LOOK WHAT YOU DID. she is totally knocked off her game because she was so busy wanting to get takumi to quickly leave...and suddenly she's on the ground seeing stars. it happens so fast and yet when he cuts it's almost like in slow motion, with her holding back a scream as she reaches to try to dislodge the knife...but her reflexes are a fraction of a second slower than normal due to her daze and throbbing jaw...

and it's too late. this face...is one of growing horror, too shocked to even move to cover herself immediately ]

[overly.livejournal.com]

[ STOP BEING A DOUCHE AKIRA.

he looks absolutely horrified by the events unfolding before him but unlike Akira, he isn't surprised by what he sees. tee-hee. old news. instead, he is quick to shrug out of his jacket and toss it over her to cover. he'll also take that moment to give Damian a nice little shove in the opposite direction to get him away from her.

.. yeah, guys, that is about as badass as he gets. he already looks worn out by the time all of that is said and done, he's out of breath. so he just opts to stand so his back is to her and so he is facing Damian. his expression isn't as anngry as it should be and it's almost pleading in a way ]

Please leave Akira-kun alone. I don't know what happened between the both of you, but this is too much.

[heirdom]

[He mistakes her shock and horror as directed at him, at first, but then his eyes stray down and get a good look at Akira's breasts.

... breasts?

Damian's eyes widen, and then he moves off, suddenly very aware that he's straddling a girl. He's up on his feet in seconds, and he doesn't linger too close when Takumi gives him a shove.]

He –– or should I say SHE –– started it!

[ immediately grabs takumi's jacket to wrap around herself, swallowing dryly as she stares up at him. that normally blase expression is one of fear and concern ]

T-Takumi... Don't push yourself.
