Description: Cloud and Yuuri undertake Watch mission #009 and have to fight large cats. At least one of them thinks they are a hero.


Apparently there was a cat problem in the sectioned off zones, but he wasn't so certain why the Watch needed to get involved. He would have thought that some fish and maybe a warm bed would be more appropriate to keep any stray felines from getting too out of line. Of course, there had been something strange about a size discrepancy, but he hadn't paid too much attention to that when he convinced Yuuri that they should go together.

Cloud shifted his nailbat from his back and held it in his right hand as he turned the corner to come into view of the Zone in question. It looked pretty quiet so far, but apparently they were now cat-nappers. Really, how big could they get? He was expecting something about the size of a big alleycat, but maybe this place grew their pussy cats big?

Turning to look at Yuuri, he set his nailbat on his shoulder. "If we find any cats, just try to avoid the pointy ends." Which, unfortunately with cats, seemed to be three out of the four. "I'll show you some hero moves. You brought a weapon, right?"

"You will get them looked at," Cloud replied simply, and he would walk Yuuri to the clinic now that the mission was over. He was certain that one of the many doctors would take the time to examine and even partially heal Yuuri back up. "My back got a little scratched up, but it will probably be alright with a cleaning."

He continued to hold onto Yuuri's arm to make certain that the kid could stay up as he reached out to take the nailbat back. "Apparently you can, and he turned your arm into a sword without changing entirely," he said as he began to help them off towards the clinic.

Snorting softly, he nudged Yuuri. "Nah, I used to have long hair when I was a kid."

Yuuri smiled at Cloud's simple reply. It was just like his friend to care so much for others, that it left him feeling warm inside. Cloud really was such a good guy after all, and Yuuri was proud to have the hero as his friend. "I'm sure that Doctor Watson will be able to look at you as well when we get to the clinic," he said with a smile.

It took a moment to collect his balance after rising. Thankfully Cloud offered his support, otherwise he might have tumbled back down to the ground. As it was, the blood running down his legs was beginning to get uncomfortable, but all thoughts of that came to a halt when Cloud mentioned a partial form.

"Huh, I guess that I did," Yuuri said with a growing smile. It was painful to walk, but he forced himself to do just that as he walked alongside his friend.

Smiling fondly, the nudge drew out a friendly laugh before he peered back at Cloud. "Really? I couldn't imagine you with long hair. I bet you looked great with it though! Was it just as spiky as it is now?"

Nodding, Watson was about the only doctor that he would let within a mile of him. He would go for the purpose of getting Yuuri looked at rather than himself, since he had his doubts that anything more than rest and time was needed. He hadn't been bitten after all.

He shifted the arm he had in hand over his shoulder and curled his other arm around Yuuri's waist in order to take most of the weight off of the kid's legs. He was on the verge of simply carrying the boy, but he decided it was in Yuuri's best interests to continue walking a bit. "That means you can do it, right?"

Snorting softly, he rolled his eyes a bit at the questioning. "Yeah, it was. That's a trait I get from my mum, and it's always been uncontrolled."

The support that Cloud gave was definitely appreciated, and Yuuri offered his friend a thankful smile in return. He may not have been able to heal the hero as he used to, but Yuuri hoped that he'd be able to repay Cloud at some point down the line.

He blinked in response to Cloud's question while he hobbled along beside the blonde hero. The was something that he hadn't thought of, amd that was something that clearly showed on his expression. "Me?" He asked before looking thoughtful, "I might be able to do it, so I might have to give it a try later."

Cloud's answer to his question had his eyes widening in suprise. He cloudn't imagine Cloud with long hair, buf for some reason, he could see it suiting his friend. "Eeh?" He sounded before smiling broadly, "I couldn't imagine you with flat hair, but I think that the spiky hair suits you."

[de-faulty-hero.livejournal.com]

He had no doubt that Yuuri would give it a try and probably be able to accomplish a partial form. He had seen Sephiroth do it enough times to know how useful it was to simply turn an arm into a sword. Of course, Yuuri might actually do more damage to surrounding structures rather than the enemy with the flailing the boy did.

"Don't worry; I've never had flat hair. Covering it with a hat is the best I could ever do," he murmured before steering them towards the nearest clinic. He knew that it would be a simple matter to get them patched up, and this mission could be considered a success.

The mental image of Cloud wearing a hat drew an amused grin from the young Maou. "Do you usually wear hats then?" Yuuri asked as he followed along bside the blonde.

For some reason, Yuuri just couldn't picture it, but that could be because he'd never seen Cloud wearing one before.

[de-faulty-hero.livejournal.com]

"I used to when I was younger, but I don't so much anymore," he replied with a small shrug of his shoulders. "The helmet didn't do much to settle my hair anyway."

He had chosen to wear a fedora at the formal party, but that had been the first time in a long time. Plus, it helped that no one expected him to wear a hat, so he could get away with it easily when he went undercover.

here he comes to save the day, creepy clown is on his way...

When Yuuri and Cloud had moved a short way away from the attack site, a low, slow applause began echoing through the quiet street. "That was an interesting fight, Yuuri," an amused voice sounded, before Hisoka stepped lazily from the shadows into the street, crossing his arms casually and leaning against a building.

"I knew you were special. You were holding out on me werent you," he continued, a small, amused smirk gracing his lips. He paid no attention to the spiky blonde-haired man who had fought alongside Yuuri.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

"Helmet?" Yuuri questioned before his eyes widened in realisation. "Oh right! You used to be in the army, right?" The young Maou asked with a smile. He'd almost forgotten about that, and it was a thought that left him wanting to slap himself.

He didn't get much of a chance to do just that though, as he heard that far-too-familiar voice call out from just up ahead. His grip on Cloud tightened unconsciously as he tried to pull a friendly smile towards Hisoka. "Aaa, what do you mean?" He asked even if he had a feeling he knew what the Meister was referring to.

[de-faulty-hero.livejournal.com]

Cloud paused in helping Yuuri along at the sudden sound of clapping, and he tilted his head to the side at the appearance of a weirdo. Geez, the city was just filled with them more and more, he thought. Still, it was obvious that he wasn't the person of interest anyway.

Without indicating, he continued to walk and hold up Yuuri.

Hisoka chuckled at Yuuri's feigned innocence. "You can't fool me, Yuuri. I am a magician after all." He 'magically' pulled a card from the air, and began spinning it on his finger. With a flick, it disappeared again.

He sauntered over to the pair, blocking their path in a non-threatening way. He leaned forward slightly, one hand on his hip. "That was an interesting trick you did with your hair," he murmured, his other hand snaking out and catching a strand of Yuuri's black hair for a moment before letting it fall. He leaned back again, crossing his arms casually, an amused smile on his face. "Long hair suits you, Yuuri."

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

Yuuri subtly peered up at Cloud when he heard the chuckle and the words the Hisoka said. "I wasn't holding out..." he muttered. Yuuri only hesitated in his walking for a short moment, but soon enough limped along with his friend's aid.

His movements came to a stop when he saw Hisoka approaching. The fact that the other Meister was blocking their path wasn't caught by Yuuri, as he was too distracted by the fact that Hisoka was actually reaching out to touch him. He flinched back automatically at the touch, and went to take a painful step away from Hisoka. "Thanks, but we really have to get going and clean ourselves up."

What was it with this man?

[de-faulty-hero.livejournal.com]

Cloud drew to a stop when he found that their path was barred, tilting his head to the side before glancing at Yuuri. He tightened the hold that he had around the kid's waist when this stranger reached out and grabbed some of Yuuri's hair. It was a neat trick, but there was no need to be grabby.

His left hand snapped out to make an attempt to grab the red-head's wrist tightly. "Back off," he finally said. "Unless you're a doctor and can pull bandages out of that outfit of yours, you can keep from touching. If you want to walk with us, do it. Otherwise, out of the way."

[jokeralwayswins.livejournal.com]

Hisoka put one hand on his hip as his other wrist was grabbed by Cloud. He observed the pair with an amused smirk. Yuuri's nervous flinch made him smile inwardly. Good, Yuuri...you're learning to be cautious.... He made no effort to break out of Cloud's strong grip.

"Given the current state you're in...that's probably a wise choice, Yuuri," he purred.

His attention turned back to the blonde man currently attached to him.

Without saying anything, he raised an eyebrow at Cloud. Using his free hand, Hisoka unwrapped a length of bandage from around the top of one of his arms, and flicked it to land on Cloud's shoulder.

"Of course I wouldn't want him bleeding to death in the street," he replied. He glanced down at the hand wrapped tightly around his wrist. "Now, if you don't mind letting go of my wrist, I'll leave you to look after Yuuri's injuries," he said lightly.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

He felt the arm around him tighten when Hisoka approached, but Yuuri was looking like a deer in headlights while the two eyed each other off. Yuuri didn't want to see either of them fighting against one another, especially Cloud.

"Aaa yeah..." the young Maou's words trailed off at the purring. Keeping close to Cloud's side, Yuuri glanced over as he saw the bandage being pulled off. "Cloud," he murmured softly.
