Thread: Guns and Roses (EDDE)

FOX Kuwabara made a cacophony of amusing noises at Yusuke's accusation, as if he was so pissed he couldn't get words out. Go to hell Urameshi! He turned around and reared back for a punch, but stopped short of throwing it when the detective wavered. Hey... you okay? The fox stopped, his presence offered for support should the wall fail to be enough. You've used a lot of energy today, and so soon after recovering from your training. Though he wasn't sure Yusuke had fully recovered. You should rest, and they shouldn't do it here. Kurama's eyes were sharp and while Kuwabara teased him about being unable stand on his own two feet, the fox paid close attention to their surroundings. The demons attending the tournament were rarely, if ever strong enough to pose a threat. It was usually only the fighting teams that needed to be worried about and yet... Someone was watching them. Yusuke was a target, and now a target that looked vulnerable. Kuwabara, Yusuke, we should be going. RAE He offered a smile to Kurama that easily said he felt bit pathetic at the moment, but his attention drew to Kuwabara instead. Oh yea?! Com'ere and say that to my fist, Dog Face! I can walk just fine! Determined to show this, he made the attempt to move forward, only to misstep all over again and fall back onto the wall. As he was inevitably laughed at, he glowered back Just wait till I can swing my arms again! Though he paused and settled instantly at Kurama's suggestion, looking around a moment before turning a smile that said he still wanted to start things on Kurama. Okay, but would you mind giving me a hand, Kurama? He thumbed at Kuwabara. I don't want that guy too close to me right now with all those confusing feelings he has for me. He might try to feel me up. He couldn't sense a thing. Hell, he couldn't even sense his companions, and that was definitely not a good state to be in. FOX With a nod the fox lifted Yusuke's arm and ducked his head under it to steady him as he stood. Careful to keep an even pace he lead the way out of the stadium. After a look from Kurama Kuwabara followed a few steps behind. He didn't have a clear picture, but as they were leaving he felt an icy chill run down his spine. Whatever was watching them, its intention was worse than murderous and Kurama had a nagging desire to leave as quickly as possible. He kept his steps even and his expression neutral even after the energy left. Hey Kurama, what was that about? I'm not sure, but it seems to have gone for now. Good. Kuwabara stopped and took in a deep breath, then grabbed Yusuke by the neck of his shirt. I'm gonna break your face so bad kittens won't look at you. With an amused chuckle Kurama dropped and shifted away to be free of the impending brawl. Do be quick about your lovers quarrel. RAE This wasn't good. Even though he had used up all his spirit energy, he should still be able to feel their life forces. He felt like he'd been hurled right back into himself when he'd first started out with all this demon fighting crap a year ago. He was pulled out of his thoughts instantly as he was grabbed by big, dumb, and angry. He couldn't help but laugh at the delayed reaction. Aw, come on, you wouldn't hurt a guy who can't even defend himself, he reminded the big idiot. He was easily less exuberant at this point, as those weighing thoughts didn't want to go away, and within a moment his smile turned utterly sour against himself. I mean it's stupid, really. You're practically the only thing holding me up right now, I can barely even keep my head on straight, and I can't even tell how far away Hiei and that masked guy have gotten from us because I can't sense a damned thing. FOX Kuwabara blinked then grumbled. Yeah fine. You're probably just exhausted I mean it's not like you slept for an entire day! Kuwabara. His tone was calm but warning, and their tallest team member lowered Yusuke back onto the kitsune's shoulder. There is no need to fret Yusuke, your spirit energy just needs time to recover. We'll meet the others in the hotel room, he offered, starting them off. It wasn't long before the fox was helping Yusuke down onto the couch. RAE Heh. Was really the only thing he offered to the entire exchange, having to focus too hard on walking to really stir things up any more after that. As he was set down, his sigh was warm as he allowed himself to plop onto the soft cushion, seated upright but leaning heavily against the couch back. Oh yea, that's much better. Smiling a bit too brightly for the condition he was obviously in, he said, Thanks Kurama. And then added, Who knows what woulda happened to me if you'd left me to that guy. He didn't bother to motion toward Kuwabara, as he knew the guy would know who he was talking to. The chuckle that fell on his chest petered out as his head lolled to the side and his eyes closed, again asleep, only looking far more vulnerable in his current state than the last. The masked fighter looked over the exhausted boy and turned 'his' attention to Kurama, thinking to say something, but being beaten to the punch by the second shortest person in the room. Couldn't you have set him down in a bed, Kurama? It's going to be twice as much work lugging his limp body there now. He was sitting on the window sill, staring outside. Though he'd looked through the reflection of the glass on their entry. He wasn't honestly berating the fox, more giving the suggestion, in his own odd way, to move Yusuke somewhere he could get better rest. FOX Ah... Kurama scratched over his cheek and looked down at his now sleeping team leader. I suppose I should have expected that, he admitted with a heavy sigh. Let's draw on his face again. Kuwabara had already pulled out the marker and was grinning madly at Yusuke's sleeping form. He'll have to clean it off himself this time. Kurama shook his head with an exasperated sigh. If you obsess over Yusuke's sleeping form, then I see what has him so worried. The tallest member balked and pointed the marker at Kurama accusingly. Stop saying things! RAE Tisking sharply, Hiei stood carefully, pausing for a moment through a light shaking of his limbs before moving for the door. I don't have the patience to deal with more squabbling today. Sighing, the masked fighter hopped off the couch and followed in tow of Hiei silently. He was given a sharp glare from the fire demon before the other headed down the hall to the right. He turned to the left and walked out, pulling the door closed loosely behind him. FOX Kuwabara was quick to follow the masked fighter, leaving the room before Kurama had a chance to say a word. He sat down on the couch beside the detective with one leg delicately draped over the other. Have you really fallen asleep again? the fox questioned, looking over the slacked face. He looked much softer when he slept... Reaching out, the fox once more pinched his nose shut. Purely out of curiosity. RAE 30 Though he lacked the ability to be nearly as responsive as he had been in his earlier state of sleep, his face did still scrunch a bit against the pinch to his nose. And he did attempt to tug his face away a bit sharply. The movement displaced his leaning form, having him slide toward Kurama and land flush against the redhead.
