Case 17: Turnabout Terror

[The morning immediately after her horrifying experience with the Coral Cannibal, Kay wakes up in her own bed with a start.  Her heart racing, she flails about in a panic, knocking the phone off the receiver.  The whole of Mayfield is treated to the very loud and utterly terrified scream of a young 17 year old thief.]

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[There is the sound of heavy, panicked breathing along with the rustling of bedsheets as Kay tries to make sense of her surroundings while trying to remember just what happened the previous night.  She's talking to herself, barely aware that she's narrating her own thoughts out loud.]

"W-what was that...?  Sharp pain... and... then.  Just darkness.  And blood... blood everywhere..."

[Huddles underneath her sheets, pulling them tightly around her so that nothing but her face is showing.  She's like a small child convinced of the magic power of her blanket, as if it will somehow protect her against the monsters that lurk in the shadows just out of sight.  And she just stays like that, rocking back and forth and quietly murmuring to herself, still totally unaware that the phone is off the hook.]

[Eventually, she'll calm down enough to form coherent sentences.]

"It was so scary..."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-25 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm so sorry. I should have been there...

[ He squeezes her close again. ]

[Hugs back.]

"It's not your fault..."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-25 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I...keep saying I'll protect you and then I'm never there when it matters.

[ He lets out a shaky breath. This was about her, this wasn't about him. But he couldn't help but blame himself. ]

[Sighs and squeezes his hand.]

"N-no... it's okay. It was already here by the time I got home. I... I'm not sure there was really much anyone could've done."

[Pauses awkwardly.]

"I talked to Tsuna earlier. He thinks I should stay with you for a few days."

[ He pulls back a bit, just enough so that he could look into her eyes. ]

I would feel a lot better if you did.

[ He offers her a small smile, but it's a little contorted. ]

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Just... nods.]

"I think it's a good idea too."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Do you...want to stay at my house?

[ He reaches up and brushes her hair away from her face before coming his fingers through it. ]

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Just nods quietly.]

"Yeah... I'll get some clothes and things together."

[ Yamamoto nods and kisses her on the cheek before pulling back so she can pack.

He still feels awful though, but he's trying to push through it. There was just...so much death. ]

Are you... How are you feeling?

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Gets some of her things together.]

"I'm okay... physically. Just... really scared."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm scared too.

[ He rubs his neck a bit. Normally he'd just laugh it off, shake it off like water, but this? This was different.

He had seen people die before, but not like this. ]

But I'll protect you next time. I promise.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Okay."

[She nodded, smiling warmly back at him.]

"...Sorry to keep worrying you like this."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yamamoto reaches over and cups her cheek with a small smile of his own. ]

Hey, don't worry about it.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Hoists her overnight bag over her shoulder and nods.]

"Okay... let's go."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods and stands up, taking Kay's hand and lacing their fingers together. ]

Yeah. I can let you take my bed if you want.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Takes his hand, gripping it tightly and blushing a little.]

"D-do you think I could sleep next to you? ...Would your family mind?"

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yamamoto's ears light up like a Christmas tree. His real dad would probably have a cow, but he's back at home... ]

They probably won't mind. So yeah, you can...

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Lets out a little sigh of relief.]

"Okay."

[Turns pretty pink herself.]

"It's... just because I'm still scared. I didn't mean for it to sound weird or anything..."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
No, no! It didn't sound weird at all.

[ He laughs quietly, still blushing. He had never...been in the same bed with a girl before. Always time for trying uh. New things, right? ]

Really.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. I don't want to make you uncomfortable or anything.

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
You could never make me uncomfortable.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Grins and loops her arm through his, resting her head on his shoulder.]

"Good."

[identity profile] ignorant.livejournal.com 2010-05-26 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ He laughs quietly and leaders her out of the house, still holding onto his bat, and over to his. ]

Maybe I should clean my room...
