The sight of a bloodied Yuno was strangely ..unstrange to Sevatheda. The normalcy of it and the way that it was easy for the albino to conjure up similar imagery in her mind was almost intriguing. It wasn't that Seva believed the 'proper lady' deserved to be covered in the metallic scented liquid, or that it suited her. Rather, Yuno made it seem like it was such a nonchalant thing- which for Sevatheda it was. But a sociopath and this.. Woman were different. Sevatheda was supposed to find the colors contrasting too harshly, or the woman herself looking uncomfortable. At least something that made the blood look out of place. Instead, Yuno 'owned the look'. 

 

Sevatheda arched a stark white brow at Yuno's initial question. Madam mini Cujo? That was.. Strangely adorable. Or fitting. The latter was much easier to understand. Slipping a hand inside of her Cujo robes, she withdrew a generic gray handkerchief and held it out towards Yuno, grimacing just slightly at her filthy hands. While Seva knew that it wouldn't do much for the woman, the material was surprisingly soft and pleasantly cool to the touch. 

 

"See if there are any potential alliances to be made. Or at least a few promises of neutrality. Even if they go back on their word, we still could get men and resources out of them." She sighed at the obnoxious revving, folding her arms across her chest as she caught sight of the peculiar mist. "Perhaps it is time to leave?"

orochi gets caught , his foot strapped in a grate that hisses with escaping gas. You tug and tug, and the explosions come closer and closer until...

you are tackled hard. The boy from before slams into you with all of his weight and you are sent sprawling, a harsh pain in your foot from where it had probably been broken, but as you land in a tangle, you look up quick enough to see the young boy scrable for a few moments, making the briefest of eye contact before a content smile spreads across his features. The ground erupts beneath him in a violent explosion of force and smoke is sent up into the air in plumes, blanketing the area in a inpenetrable darkness.

 

 

 

---------------------

yuno takes the handkercheif and dabs her face clean. Removing most of the metallic fluid from her face as she bws.

 

"THank you madam."

 

she says with a smile as she takes googys hand.

 

"It will be done..... Those who have pledged loyalty are with madam yukari downstairs....WOuld you like to go check on her? her organs where barely kept inside before."

[Oce]

As indifferent as Sevatheda was seeing blood splattered across Yuno's face, it was somewhat pleasing to see her pretty face relatively clean. She compared it to cleaning up a mess, being mildly OCD, and as such thought nothing remarkable about it. The albino nodded her head slightly in acceptance, manners instilled deep. And as such, when Googy's movement caught her attention, she simply glanced at their joined hands. Did the child prefer Yuno over Yukari so blatantly? 

 

Sevatheda didn't feel the urge to grimace like one usually would upon hearing news that an.. Acquaintance had gotten seriously injured. Still, she wondered what exactly happened to take the psychopath down so grievously. Surely Yukari wouldn't have allowed an enemy to slit her belly open. Or if she did, she assumed that he would be a mere splatter on the wall. 

 

"I suppose so," she murmured. 

[Armoured Priest]

Before Orochi could realized what was going on, there was no trace of kid after the combustion of the gaslines and there was only the thick blanket of smoke all around them. Trying to keep his coughing down, he fished out the mouth piece of his gasmask and put it on as a somber thought went through his head. 'I didn't even get his name.' he scolded himself. That was exactly the opposite of what he always thought he should do, he should be the one laying his life for his men, not the other way around. But his ignorant bravado costed the kids, no, the man's life, and he didn't even know his name to remember him properly. Clicking on the comm unit of the drachen mask, he opened the channel to the squad. "Squad check, sound off and give condition." He spoke. He wasn't sure if the smoke would clear out quickly or not, and he needed to know how everyone else was before they did anything else. Not to mention, there could be some surviving thugs out there, or whatever the hell that guy with the tatts was earlier.

[Thugren]

you are getting sloppy orochi."

 

a hard german voice says over the comm. An explosion of black flame erupts into the sky and the screams of agony soon follow. You see the thugs run the opposite way from the flame , but a solitary figure comes into view.

 

Armoured in onyc black warplate, and wearing a helm in the mantle of the famed black dragon, adolfo, soverign father of the drachen company comes into view

 

"YOu where not sent here to play nice nice with some yakuza family.....  So why are you wasting time."

 

a gout of flame erupts from his hand and consumes the fleeing men in a hail of screams, and he turns to face the wounded commander.

 

"It is good to see you though son."

 

he says as he comes over, unintentionally stepping on the charred remains of the boy and looking around.

 

"WHere is that kamui boy, i am going to personally releive you of his command and take you with me to hiroshima."

------------------------------------------

as seva goes downstairs, she can see the ruined ferrari stained with blood laying in a tumbled wreck amidst the school gates. The gang of women that always accompany the deranged yakuza crouch around the body of what appeared to be the groom.

 

"Sup cujo...Can we help you boss?"

 

a pretty faced girl with a set of blood red bangs and neck length hair asks, her sword resting across her shoulders.

 

"YUOu looking for something?"

[Oce]

Sevatheda nearly grimaced at the girl's words and terrible grammar. She realized that she w, bould have to answer to "Cujo", but not any variations of it. "Boss" was awfully informal, but the albino realized that it would also be pointless to request for the Yakuza to call her specifically by her title. It was something that she would simply adapt to. 

She nearly responded that she wished to see how many had pledged to their cause, which was only partially a lie. Well, the lesser part of the truth. Most of her curiosity went towards Yukari's injury. She wanted to see for herself how bad it was, without just nondescript words. Clearing her throat, she folded her arms across her chest, tucking her hands into the sleeves of the robe. 

"I would like to speak to Yukari." 

[Thugren]

the madam is not well."

 

she says curtly, but she visibly thinks better of it after a few seconds and sighs.

 

"COme .."

 

you are lead down the hall that stinks of desperation and pain, in the infirmary you see yukari laying in the bed, her body covered in bandages.

 

"What.."

 

she says painfully, growling as the medic covers her face in ia bandage that obscures her eye.

 

"Where is kamui..."

[Oce]

Sevatheda raised an eyebrow at the girl's hesitation. She cared for Yukari, most likely. Or the leader had promised death if the girl gave away her location, but.. If the injuries are as extensive as Seva was told, then she doubted Yukari would be able to growl out the threat. But the albino would see for herself, as she followed the girl.

 

The sight wasn't one that she was expecting. Too many bandages and not enough skin shown to be able to see the full extent of Yukari's injuries, which almost made it seem like she wasn't injured at all. It was too comical in appearance. However, this wasn't the place to be wasting time, and there was no benefit in deceit. Still, Seva pressed her frozen digits lightly against Yukari's cheek- or made the attempt to, hardly any pressure behind it. She wondered if the woman would wince or flinch away.

 

"I am unsure. He was taking care of the arbiter not long ago." She raked her eyes along Yukari's form with distaste curling her lips into a mild grimace. "Why did you allow yourself to get into such a state?"

[Thugren]

for a moment, yukaris eyes flash something akin to fear, but it is smothered down.

 

"The assault shoudve went as expected.... But i lost control of the car i was using to gatecrash at the lst minute, and i ended up rolling it about 14 times."

 

she stands with a wince of pain as the bandages around her stomach and abdominals stain red.

 

"Need to up the medications i use to handle hallucinations... Thats all."

 

her one good eye doesnt waver as you touch her and she coughs.

 

"Maruhi...The girl who brought you here....Did she kill the groom?"

[Oce]

Sevatheda hummed at her words, half tempted to force Yukari to lie back down as she noticed the blood in the corner of her vision. It must be bad, she decided, and as such, she needed to get out of here and somewhere less likely to be attacked. She barely resisted reaching out to steady Yukari, half expecting her to topple over. But when she didn't, the albino lowered her hand back to her side. 

 

"I believe so. She was crouched over a guy in a suit, in the very least."

[Thugren]

Would make sense...that was her ex."

 

Yukari keeps moving and grabs her sword, a beautiful black blade in a black laqured sheath.

 

"She probably didnt take lightly to him betraying us.."

 

yukari stumbles down the hall and slumps agasint the wall, her breathing turning ragged .

 

"Fuck/...FUck.."

 

she says through gritted teeth.

 

"Cant lewt him see me like this...No.."

[Oce]

Sevatheda chuckled, the sound humorless. "That's one hell of a way to get back at your ex," she muttered before watching Yukari stumble into the wall. With a sigh she pulled out her phone from under her robes and shot off a quick text before hiding it away and offering her arm out to the injured woman.

"Then don't. Let's just get the hell out of this damned place."

[Thugren]

Yukari says nothing , stumbling along the hallway, keeping herself braced until she comes to a club room.

 

"Not until i get something..."

 

she squares a shoulder and slams into the door with a pained groan, the door giving a bit but not opening as the thin woman slides down agaisnt it..

 

"Cant go yet...Not yet.."

 

she groans as she hits it again with the same result. The phone receives a chime and you see that it was kamui.

 

"get her out of here.....She likes the barbeque place down the street...Ill meet you there."

[Oce]

Sevatheda sighed again. What possibly was a good enough reason to risk permanent damage for? She intended to find out-- after rolling her eyes at the text. Idiots.

With a soft growl, the albino leaned in close to Yukari, bracing a hand on the door behind her. "What do you need behind this door? If we get it, then can we leave, no complaints?"

[Thugren]

yukari doesnt seem to hear you, and she seems to muster up the last bit of her strength and slams into the door, splintering the wodden frame and sending her tumbling into the room.

 

she lays down on the dusty floor in a swirld of stagnant air, and you can see that it is the room for some type of martail arts club.

 

"Ill leave..I promise just.."

 

she reaches for a box that sits under a tv.

 

"Please get me that...Ill behave for a while after that please.."

[Oce]

Sevatheda rolled her eyes. This girl was out of her mind and was ridiculous. From breaking into her home, to sporadic behavior to this pathetic display. It was difficult to keep up.

She stepped over Yukari's collapsed body, not bothering to walk around towards the tv, silently collecting the requested item. As her fingers curled around the box, she grumbled: "You promised. Remember that."

Sevatheda didn't try to peek into the box. Hell, she barely even glanced at it. Her curiosity was practically non-existent because she simply didn't care. Instead, she dropped into crouch and, after helping Yukari into a sitting position, carefully handed her the box, rather than nonchalantly dropping the box on the girl's stomach and provoking her injuries further.

Then, with another reminder of behaviour, Sevatheda cautiously wrapped her arms around Yukari's frame, bracing her back and underneath her legs. Yet she didn't move to stand immediately, gaging the girl's reaction. She half-expected her to cringe away or flail or something idiotic.

[Thugren]

yukari didnt fight or evcen move, she simply wrapped the box in her arms and held it tight.

 

"This ...All i need is this.."

 

she says as you speak and she nods.

 

"Ill behave cujo....I promise i will...you dont have to worry about me sneaking up on you for a little while."

 

with a pained groan she pushes your hand under her legs away and forces herself onto her feet,  leaning agaisnt the door frame.

 

"I cant have googy think im even more pathetic than i am.... FFor my girls... I have to be the one who walks me out."

 

carefulyl she tucks the box away and smiles.

 

"Come on cujo...im hungry.....I know a barbeque place nearby that makes short ribs... Ill pay."

[Oce]

Sevatheda sighed as she stood, eyes narrowed. Pride was such a fickle thing, it seemed. But it was one thing that the sociopath could understand, and as such, she wouldn't consider it as blatant disobedience. Then she considered something. "Fine, have it your way. But you aren't going to be able to stand properly-- your face would give you away, even if you managed to avoid tripping over your own feet. So come here." She held a hand out towards Yukari before simply growing impatient and carefully grabbing her wrist and winding it around Seva's waist. 

 

"Shoulders are too obvious, and you may let go when we get closer. No need to strain yourself too much. Also, Kamui said that he would meet us there." She figured that there would be little reason to hide the information from the woman. She decided that there would be some benefit in giving her warning to brace herself.

[Thugren]

did he... "

 

she giggles, a little less pain in her voice.

 

"When we where younger.... He would always meet us there after he and orochi got done pounding on somone... Its where he proposed to me."

 

 

she continues to move painfully as you can see the prisoners and various people being talked to by yuno. Googy hops down from a chair and runs over, flicking back one of her puink pig tails and looking at yukari.

 

"Youre a little banged up yukari...Are you ok."

 

Yukari stands up straight, her legs shaking just a bit as she tries to fake strength.

 

"Im fine honorabe sister....Just rolled the car a few times."

[Oce]

"Really? Publicly rather than.." Sevatheda genuinely hadn't given it much consideration. She had assumed that Kamui proposed either formally, or not at all, given that it was an arranged marriage. It was a mildly interesting bit of information, though it wasn't something that Seva would consider useful to herself.

 

The albino raised an eyebrow at Yukari's sudden shift in behavior, half tempted to nudge her and break the charade. But there would be no benefit in it. Instead Sevatheda reached out towards Googy, trying to brush her fingers across the girl's cheek gently. She wasn't sure why she did it, but she assumed that it was because it would be beneficial to Yukari. Since it certainly couldn't be her effort on checking up on Googy, after seeing the girl so shaken earlier.
