[You're on the rooftop!] * Katie stares and somehow keeps from screaming. She turns to look at Yorihisa with wide eyes. I hope you can tell me what that was all about. ( Gimme an awareness check in the main channel ) (Sight or hearing?) ( Sight ) * Yorihisa shrugs. "Like I said, no idea." Then I hope you can tell me *something*. Why you were gone, maybe. That could have something to do with it. Hey, I didn't ask for your help. * Katie points down at the mess, glaring at Yorihisa. "My friend had her stomach sliced through to save you, and all you can say is you didn't ask? That's it!" Not even a thank you. What do you want me to do?! You're the ones who... * Yorihisa shakes his head. "I told you it wasn't any of your business." We're the ones who *what*? Tell me! * Kaede comes up the stairs, huffing a little as he holds onto the railing. "Katie...are you..." He looks around at Yorihisa and her. I just did! If you didn't do anything, you'd have been fine! * Katie looks furious, actually. She glances at Kaede, then locks her gaze on Yorihisa again. "So, that's it. It's our own damn fault. We should have let him kill you." I'm glad I know better. * Kaede blinks and stops at the conversation, going quiet and just listening for now. He wouldn't have killed me. You saw I was fine. Then why didn't you tell us not to? I did! * Kaede rubs his face slowly with his hand. "That's our nature. Butting in where we're not wanted. You're right. Next time we're caught in a field without warning, we'll just walk the other way." How often do I have to say that? No. You didn't say it when we *did* save you. You said it after the fact, when you're safe and sound and you're sure we're not going to hurt you. How do I know that? I don't know. I feel like hurting you myself right now. You see? * Kaede puts his hand over his face. "How did our club president get to be so far as such an idiot..." (He picked the right club) ( Hirokazu: "Yeah. I wanna be president instead. GIRLS!!" ) ( And if I am president, girls for everybody in the club! v_^_^_v *Eriko hits Hirokazu upside the head) ( Extras: "No, dude. Make me president. Star Trek rulez." "No way. You're lame." "No, you're lame." "No, I am your father." "If you only knew the power of the Dark Side!" ) ( Ow! Okay, just one girl to share among everyone in the club. *Eriko hits him again* Ow!) * Katie balls her hands into her fists and looks like she wants to scream. Instead, she grits out, "I'm sorry we helped. Next time? We'll let you die, because you like it that way." It's not like you give a shit about us. Kaede, where's Kyon? I don't even know you. Down there. The field's down I think. Satoshi didn't say but the tree went back to normal. * Kaede eyes Yorihisa. "You should know me. And if you don't, I'm starting to wonder why I even bother joining clubs in the first place." Yeah, I saw. But if you really have to know, she's 100 times the person you'll ever be at this rate. Ready to go down there? * Katie flicks her eyes to the scene, then looks at Kaede. "Yeah. You're welcome, Yorihisa." She walks over to Kaede, stumbling a little at the end. * Yorihisa stands there and barely reacts. [End in here]
