Day 29: Courtyard

[deathbymidget.livejournal.com]

Hiei easily grew sick of the same walls--not to mention the same idiots always within those walls--and while not perfect, the chance to go outside was better than lingering in the boundaries of that damned prison. So when the chance came, the demon was quick to leap on it, heading outside almost quick enough to make a nurse wonder if he was attempting escape.

Almost.

But there were things Hiei had to take care of before he left this place, and first came sorting through his thoughts. Kurama was gone; the demon was sure of it, even without the use of his Jagan. The fox was one of the people Hiei was closest to, one of the few Hiei would admit being close to, and his presence weighed heavily on the demon, nearly as heavy as his absence.

It made him angry, that Kurama had vanished. Be it by escape or some other circumstance (which Hiei barely considered possible, only by his own refusal), the fox should be there with him, fighting with him. That was how they worked, supposedly. As a team.

Now Hiei would have to do without. And he would be fine with that, eventually. For now it was annoying, but that would pass. Perhaps quicker with a nap, and the demon moved under one of the trees. He didn't care that it was colder in the shade; his contrasting origins mixed with his stubbornness kept the weather from bothering him too much. Closing his eyes, he relaxed against the bark, as much as he could given the circumstances, and hoped for a lack of bothering.

Kurikara's challenge did the trick. Narrowing his eyes at the shikigami, the boy lunged from the bench and aimed a good, swift punch at Kurikara's face. Being partnered with Tsuzuki had kept him in shape, at least. Hisoka didn't need advice from him, so what made the shikigami think he had to give it? It only made matters worse that Kurikara was right.

That was more like it.

Hisoka was good, better even than anticipated. "Too slow!" The dragon dodged to the side but pain still flaired where the punch clipped him in the face. He grinned and lunged foward, aiming his own punch again for Hisoka's stomach area. This couldn't be over too soon or too late; he had to time his attacks just right.

Hisoka attempted to move out of the way of the attack, but in the end he was hardly successful as the blow caught him in the side. What was with Kurikara and Hisoka's stomach?! It was going to take more than that to bring him down, though, the boy had received far worst wounds in the past. Without bothering to pay attention to the pain, the boy swung again, this time aiming towards a more broader target--Kurikara's chest.

The dragon tried to block the boy's hit but it still connected with his collar sending him a couple of paces back and tearing open the old injuries that hadn't quite healed yet. He grunted but his smirk was ever present.

Kurikara used the space he'd gained to his advantage, twisting once he'd caught his balance to aim a high kick for the boy's jaw.

"That is quite enough, both of you!" The nurse had been distracted at first by the task of issuing in new patients, but she had seen the fight, and now came to the boys, a pair of orderlies in tow. Each man took hold of one of the combatants, pulling them back enough to keep them from hurting each other worse.

"You both know better than to behave this way." Two injections were prepared as the nurse scolded them, the needles quickly doing their work. "Especially you, Mr. Ryuu. You've hardly recovered at all! Now we're going to have to take you for treatment."

The sedation complete, the orderly holding Alexander placed him gently down, and moved to help his partner guide Kasei. With a final stern look, they went off, an effective medical team going to treat their patient.

Hisoka shouted angrily and began to struggle as the orderly grabbed him. He didn't give a damn if the woman meant well, she had no right to touch him and neither did this hulking idiot! The boy snarled wordlessly as the needle was finally injected- (didn't this feel familiar)- before the drugs finally took effect and the boy slumped, the motivation to fight slipping away.
