Nighshift 23: Entry Room

While her commander opened the door into unchartered territory for her, she listened for his reaction, knowing he would see whatever was inside first.  In the meantime, her attention swept the wide hall behind them, not wanting to give up her guard prematurely.

He wasn't wasting any time, it seemed (though caution was never wasted time to her), and she followed him in, almost back-to-back with him. Trusting his reaction in place of her own, she didn't turn around until the door was shut in their wake.

Before Tsuzuki arrived Hisoka had been watching the scene unfold as he strained to hear the practically nonexistent sounds of struggle from within the file room. He wasn't foolish enough to think he could help them, not if he was useless against a giant cat, but he knew a bit of what was happening. The air was roiling.

What was Tsuzuki doing?

The boy pressed a hand to his chest to slow the already sluggish bleeding, realizing only too late that the makeshift bandages around his hand would absorb the blood. Shit.

Yet before Hisoka could decide on what to do with the stained bandages Tsuzuki finally arrived and the shinigami turned his attention to his partner. His room? Tsuzuki didn't look like he'd even make it halfway. Hisoka shook his head.

"It's too far, your room is closer."

Tsuzuki was tempted to argue, but Hisoka did have a point. Even though he didn't really know where Hisoka's room was, his own was pretty close. And the less they traveled, the better.

"Alright, but stick close." He was already feeling jumpy after the feline assault. The last thing he needed was for Hisoka to leave his line of vision.
