K-Kaito? [ Softly, at first, and shaken. She touched the still-wet blood staining her front, touched the ragged tear in her shirt that marked the entry point of the bullet—pressed her hand over her ribs, over her heart, feeling the rise and fall and the steady, rhythmic beating…

And then she threw herself out of the bedroom she'd found herself in. The hallway was deserted; she broke into a run. ]


KAITO! ANSWER ME!

[There's a moment where his grip tightens, his gaze searching her expression and condition with sharp clarity. Her paleness and the effect of the blood loss doesn't go unnoticed, and it's obvious she needs rest-- or at least take a few moments to herself to work out exactly what had happened. But he's already dealt with his own Aoko enough to know that suggestion wouldn't go over well, particularly not in the face of an emergency]

... I swear, each and every Aoko comes without the ability to be even the slightest bit selfish. You're acting as though you aren't hurt at all.

[But his fingers slip away from her arm to free her. The Aoko he knows is tough, and he has no reason to believe this one is any different. He's still hovering close, however, glancing around the hallway. If he's letting her go, he's at least going to help her look]

Does he have any particular defining characteristics?

[her grip is surprisingly strong given the circumstances; she helps her up with ease]

I've— [—well, no, she hasn't actually had worse than this before. That's a little unsettling] —perhaps. [a bath would be marvellous, she can't deny that] And... you?

[... definitely doesn't like the way she's putting that, and he finds himself almost hoping she means something managed to heal her before the unthinkable happened. But common sense and experience tell him otherwise-- and hope is a frivolous emotion that would do nothing to change what is, anyway. Ah... but he has to shove those uncomfortable and distressing implications aside for now, if he's going to stick with her until she finds her own Kaito. With a deep breath, he hand dives into his pocket, searching]

I wasn't speaking of only outward injuries, Aoko. [And he pulls out a small bottle of swirling blue liquid, reaching for Aoko's hand and placing it firmly in her palm. He doesn't let go of her hand when he finishes]

A small drink should be enough to take off the edge and return some of your strength, but don't take all of it. If he's really hurt, he may need the rest.

[With that, he nods toward the hallway] Shall we?

[from the forward view, he appears all right. In one piece and whole, if a bit out of character holding a weapon. It's probably only when Aoko starts to clutch at the back of his clothes that she might notice a bit of sticky dampness.]

But as stated before: shhh shhhh only tears and the harsh, ragged breathing of one unused to such things now]
vulpine_hijinx: (but why fish ever?)

[except that he's still holding onto her, keeping her close... and just shakes his head, not trusting his voice still.]

...Was he with you when...?

[as her fingers trail over the wet mark, she bay come to realize that it is largely between his shoulder blade, just to the left of his spine. The higher her hand goes, to the upper portion of his back, reveals the thicker, slicker mess of the original wound. Though apparently healed, judging by how it's all congealing and not fresh blood, he inhales sharply at the touch.]

[that doesn't bode well]

This place seems inclined to... take us to where we need to be. Or perhaps... take where we need to be... to us.

[she moves across the hallway as she speaks, heading towards a wooden club that lies discarded on the carpet. A large, vicious-looking beast's tooth is hammered deeply into one end, and the whole thing seems to be snarling at her, vibrating as if ready to leap up and attack. Miss Nakamori gives it a disdainful kick into the wall, which temporarily quells the snarling, and then takes it up in a firm grip before turning back to Aoko]

We'll find him. [finally catches her breath and lets it out in a shaky sigh. Everything hurts, despite her dose of tincture, and the ill feeling likely isn't going away for some time] I doubt there are few places where he would be safer than here. He'll be all right.

[yes, possibly all right like her and her counterpart are 'all right'. Don't think about that, Nakamori]
azurebeneath: suspicious, unimpressed, sarcastic (Not Entirely Blameless)

I can rest once we've found him. [already heading down the hallway, her pace brisk if somewhat unsteady] Knowing that idiot, he'll manage to get himself in some sort of trouble without one of us around.
vulpine_hijinx: (badass or crazy--you decide)

[personal profile] vulpine_hijinx 2011-12-28 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[clearly not wanting to budge, but allowing her to pull away a bit, though making sure she is still well within reach]

... Snake's dead.

[it comes out slow and quiet, but despite there be no inflection in the words themselves, the tone is hard with an edge]
azurebeneath: determined, angry, skeptical, suspicious (Knowledge needs to be free!)

[personal profile] azurebeneath 2011-12-29 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
It would be reassuring... if it weren't so frustrating.

[keeps to this pace for now, reaching up with her free hand to claw some webs out of her hair with a shudder]

Damned spiders...

[AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMEONE]

Miss Aoko, where—

[—oh.

The Aoko that rounds the corner is certainly of a likeness with the Kaito that Aoko's discovered, in clothes and inventory if in nothing else. But she takes a step back in surprise when she catches sight of them, suddenly acutely aware of her own state — and of Kaito's inevitable reaction]


K-kuroba.
vulpine_hijinx: (something something feelings)

[there's something of a small, weak laugh]

Don't make it your fault. Don't. Just don't...
