Day 51: Breakfast

[thatdamnedninja.livejournal.com]

Yuffie Kisaragi, indomitable bouncing ball of sunshine and unfathomable ebullience, was tired. It'd been a long night full of gibberish and getting nowhere fast.

"Can't I—"

Plucky, who had been busily loading a plate full of French toast and bacon, tittered. "I'm afraid not, Hanna, darling. A chat over a nice, hearty breakfast would do you a world of good, don't you think?"

"Aaaaactually—"

"Come on, let's find you a seat. Plenty to choose from this morning!"

For a long moment, Yuffie seriously considered doing something—anything—to act out. Punch her nurse, rub jam in an orderly's face, climb a wall and hang off the ceiling, jump on a table and parody Loveless… A ruckus like that would definitely jolt her back into gear, right? Sedation aside. And it'd turn Plucky's good day right on its head, which was always a bonus worth shooting for.

But, by the time she'd reached a decision—and it was an epic decision, a really awesome one; everybody'd appreciate the genius, she was sure—she was already alone. Her breakfast tray had been set down neatly by the nurse, who had left with an infuriatingly winsome smile.

"Wow," Yuffie muttered. Shaking her head, she picked a chair at random and threw herself into it. She kicked back, one arm slung across her eyes, to wait. For what, she wasn't totally sure. Some moron to decide that she looked like good company? That was how it usually went.

Sechs' grimace widened, revealing a gnashing row of sharp teeth. He tightened his grip into Nataku's shirt. "It looks like we still have a problem then!" he snarled. Like his opponent, Sechs' body was ready for conflict; his muscles were tensed beneath his skin while his heart pumped adrenaline-rich blood throughout his system. Any moment would be the one to start the battle off with a bang...

Then Nataku made his first move, and within a split second, a vicious fight broke out upon their section of the long cafeteria table. Sechs' free arm struck out to brace against Nataku's weight as they both tumbled down to the floor, knocking food off their plates, emptying drinks and sending plastic utensils flying in their wake. Other patients and staff would have been alarmed by the sudden violence taking place near them.

All the mess and commotion was nothing but background noise to Sechs, as his rage and hatred towards Will came out in full force against Nataku. Sechs crashed to the ground upon his back with his smaller opponent on top of him, sending sparks of pain to explode inside his skull. The Replica gave out an infuriated roar. Immediately, he coiled his legs beneath Nataku before kicking him off his torso and flipping him over his head towards the floor behind.

"Like I said before!" he growled, crawling to his hands and knees before pouncing towards Nataku in an attempt to pin him down. "Will didn't make friends, he just USED people!" Once close enough, one of Sechs' hands shot out for Nataku's shoulder while the other clenched into a fist that blurred towards his face.

Nataku grunted from the impact of a hard landing, pain shooting up his spine, clear and sharp and suddenly Sechs was on him, his fingers digging deep into his shoulder. He was fast and strong, but so was Nataku. Jason used people? Yeah, right. This guy didn't know the first thing about him. Not even his real name.

"Did you ever think maybe it was just you?" Nataku shot back, the usual cockiness creeping into his voice. He crossed his arms to block the punch and Sechs' fist connected with his forearm just as he brought his knee up hard towards the man's stomach. "Maybe you deserved it!"

"SHUT UP! You don't know SHIT!" Sechs snarled, his hair bristling at the accusation. It was true that Sechs was the one who attacked Will first... But even so, Will's aggravating charms would have gotten the two to be enemies either way, no matter who attacked first! For crying out loud, that bastard liked to be used against other patients during that night when both he and Sechs were taken for those experiments! That was enough to show his true character!

"Man, that bastard must have really kept you in the dark!" he retorted, "Did he treat you like his stupid little pet or something?!"

Then there was a winded grunt of pain and Sechs immediately doubled over from Nataku's attack, but he didn't let that slide without a retaliative move. Sechs' fist dove in again for another part of Nataku's skull, but just then an orderly wrangled Sechs from behind and started pulling him off his opponent. As he was hauled away, Sechs' fist missed its original target and flew in towards Nataku's lower ribs.

Undeterred by the staff's intervention, Sechs struggled against the arms that held him as he continued barking back at Nataku. "Did ya know that Will got taken in one night to be used against other patients?!" he snarled, "Well guess what! After that night, he bragged to me about how he enjoyed being one of Landel's 'guard dogs'!"

The orderly fought to wrestle Sechs away from the other yellow eyed patient, but when a nurse threatened Sechs with sedation, the Replica ceased to fight back and allowed the staff to pull him away to another part of the cafeteria. He didn't go quietly though, as he shouted at Nataku over his shoulder, "That just goes to show who he's REALLY like! Nothing but a STINKING COWARD! You're either really dumb or just in denial over that fact!"
