[Private]

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.

[ after doing 'his' nightly ritual of...spying on everyone deemed relevant, akira is gonna chill in the garden in the standard boy's clothes. long shorts and a t-shirt whatever idk, just standing completely still...eyes closed. plz to be ignoring this strange kid...or maybe not? ]

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 ]

[shouting after]

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

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!

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

Takumi? What are you doing out here?

[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 ]

[ 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.

[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.

[ buttons the jacket and slowly stands, one hand on takumi's shoulder to gently push him aside ]

...I started it...? You...who have been doing nothing but following me around...instigating fights...ruining what little peace I have left in this afterlife...

You dare to say I started it?!

[ a flash of light is a signal takumi should know well...get back boy ]

GENNAI!

[ that flash spreads through the ground beneath her, and a large pair of red eyes flash open, the ground shaking ]

[ what is that in a gust of smoke? that is a GIANT BIOMECHANICAL TOAD in your face, damian, and the ninja bitch you just disgraced is crouched on top of it. and unless you're gone already, damian, there's going to be blinding lights from his eyes right in your face, too. and i mean BLINDING...but stranger than that, they'll paralyze him in place...with the assistance of some shuriken hitting the ground where his shadow falls ]

[ he opens his mouth to reply when he feels Akira's hand on his shoulder. she was right, of course, he really couldn't help this situation much. he knows better than to try and argue -- he steps back just in time to be face to face with Gennai again.

.. well, wasn't this awkward. the last time he saw that creature he died, so don't mind him as he takes a few more steps back and doesn't say a word after that ]

[Despite his shock, Damian isn't tumbling out of battle mode just yet, and Akira's little light show sends enough of a message for him to get ready. Brace yourself through the earth rumbling, adjust the setting on the lenses on your mask, and be careful.

He doesn't give a shit about your frog, as he's seen nastier things, and the lights are easily dimmed with a squeeze of his gloves, changing the lenses on his mask. Looking away helps with the rest. As for moving, he moves out of that shuriken's path, and fast; the lights put his shadow behind him, after all, and he's not hanging around to get stabbed.

He feels that lick of fear, like this was a mistake, but he grits his teeth and soldiers on. His other hand holds onto a batarang. Screw you, bitch. Biomechanical? It'll only take a well-placed shot.]

Follow YOU around? Don't flatter yourself!

[ there are just no words. this is not witty banter anymore. not only has her honor been tainted, but an entire lifetime of secrets just spilled out moments ago. and this wasn't takumi, her most important person... this wasn't someone she was going to allow to run free and tell the tale. gennai turns to face damian before it jumps in the air, akira still crouched as she yells out ]

Jigoku Gama!

[ the creature's mouth opens wide, and a spiked ball the size of a boulder shoots out, much like a flail whip, but if this hits you it is unquestionably fatal ]

[ unfortunately, Akira, Takumi doesn't want to see anyone else get hurt. he knows how precious her secret is, he really does, but he also knows that he doesn't want to see her get hurt again. this guy wasn't going to give up anytime soon -- that worried him, too. and it wasn't entirely because he was being stubborn was it?

so without really thinking about it, he makes a run for it in hopes of making it in time. in a few moments, he is going to plant himself in-between them both with his arms stretched out to either side ]

Akira-kun, stop! Please! It doesn't have to go this far! Both of you, please stop fighting! You shouldn't--

[ but he can't finish because after wincing, he's grabbing at his chest and sinking to his knees ]

[ OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING /SCREAMS...no literally akira is screaming. did takumi just plant himself in the spot a deadly attack was headed? SPLIT SECOND DECISION ]

GENNAI!

[ her voice is strangled in desperation -- fear that it's too late -- but the large toad reacts even more quickly than she does, the giant flail stopping just short of takumi and ringing back to disappear into gennai's mouth. the toad lands just in front of them with a shudder of the ground ]

Tt.

[He reminds himself, even as this shit goes down, that only cowards run, and he is not a coward. Not even close.

But he's not running. He's just turning and walking away, angry. Let them deal with their personal drama, and conflict, and hidden truths, and all that. Damian wants nothing to do with this crazy bitch and her stupid frog and her idiot friend.

He just storms right off.]

[ is dropping off of gennai to crouch to takumi's side, wrapping an arm around his shoulders before she looks up and over at damian, yelling ]

I won't forget this! If you tell... I'll make you wish you were dead!

[ this idiot friend is going to find you later, Damian! and there will lots of idle chatting and friendliness -- even though you punched his gf. there is no escape. he's still clutching at his shirtfront when she crouches next to him, but he glances up briefly to watch the other kid walk away ]

[he glances back over his shoulder, just once, with a hardened look. It's a useless threat.

And if it comes, he'll be ready.

He just walks away.]

[ if he knew anything at all, he would understand that it's more of a plea than a threat. he has no idea how much control he has over her right now, or how utterly this has devastated her. how completely humiliated she is...if her father ever found out... ]

Takumi! You idiot! I-I almost killed you! Why would you do that to me?!

[ fumbling around in his jacket pockets ]

Where's your medicine?

[ he tries to smile but it looks a little pathetic ]

You wouldn't have done that, Akira-kun.

[ the medicine? he looks back towards the castle. it was in his room on the table, a silly mistake ]

The castle.
