OPEN

Characters: Open
Location: Death City, Clinic
Rating: PG
Time: Jan 17 onward
Description: Missions 151 and 152, crossposted to LJ



The clinic is a buzz of activity from beginning to end, with the doctors and their staff preparing everything that could be needed by their agents in Europe, and clearing away the unnecessaries. Food is cooked large-scale because no one will have time to do it later, and hospital supplies are moved around to make more space for beds.

Shibusen's scouts and supportive agents are in charge of dragging the wounded back to Death City, and they come and go for random errands. The atmosphere is understandably tense, and things don't get better when the first of the injured are brought in.

ryuuhirameki: (✗ faded away)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-28 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Kenshin hadn't had someone to hold him and let him cry out his emotions when he had been Kaoru's age. He closed his eyes, simply held on more tightly as she cried on him. His past was his past; he couldn't be thinking of it now. It was more important to protect the present, the girl he held.

"No," he said quietly, "it is enough for this one to let you cry. Kaoru doesn't have to be anything more than she already is."
shihandai: (✿i threw my arms around her neck)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-28 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Idiot.." She protested weakly, her bruised temple sinking into his shoulder as she sniffed. "I-I was about to stop c-crying too.." Kaoru continued feebly, her hands slack at her sides as she buried her face in his warmth.

Her quiet sobs continued; muffled as they were.
ryuuhirameki: (✗ will the water pull me down)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-28 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Kenshin didn't say anything, just continued to hold her, letting Kaoru cry out her emotions. After a few moments he opened his mouth to say something—but was interrupted by a very ominous presence looming behind him.

"There you are."

"Oro?!?" He turned (still keeping a good grasp on Kaoru) and came face to face with the nurse who had been attempting to check him over for injury.

"I'm not about to let you risk an infection—what are you doing?!"

He didn't respond; his eyes grew instead. "Ororororo........"
shihandai: (✿now that she's back in the)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-28 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Huh--Kenshin what's wr--" Kaoru looked up and gaped at the nurse. She then stared back at Kenshin her eyebrow raising, free hand going to wipe her eyes. "Kenshin--" She began threateningly.

Kaoru offered a placating smile to the nurse, as best as she could with a wet and very battered face. "Sorry about that--he gets lost real easily. I'm sure he didn't mean to wander off, right Kenshin?" Her hand slid behind his back to give a threatening tug to his ponytail.
ryuuhirameki: (✗ will never be the same)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-28 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh god they were terrifying. They were both terrifying. Kenshin made an odd strangled noise when Kaoru tugged on his ponytail, lifting his hands as though the placate the nurse looming over him.

"No, no—oro. This one is not injured, indeed I am not, there are others much worse off—"
shihandai: (✿she is the sunlight)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-28 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"And you girl! Look at your face! Who was taking care of you--" Kaoru suddenly had a nurse-hand lifting her chin, making a clucking sound.

"My goodness--what did you do to yourself? Best to hide yourself for a few days with this mess." Kaoru's hand dropped from Kenshin's ponytail and you could almost hear the creaking of her teeth grinding together as her smile turned feral.

"Excuse me? " The growl that came from Kaoru's mouth was impressive as her right eye began to twitch. "I think maybe you should give yourself a check up ma'am, all those circles under your eyes! Are you taking care of yourself?"

The nurse suddenly loomed over Kaoru, whose poor face was twisted in a smile more like a fearsome grimace.
ryuuhirameki: (✗ come back down)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-28 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It was Kenshin's turn to grab Kaoru's ponytail now.

"She's fought very hard, that she has. I think it would be better if we got some fresh air now. Pardon us...."

And he had pulled Kaoru to her feet and was steering her rather forcefully away. Better to leave before something exploded.
shihandai: "she is the sunlight" by trading yesterday (✿and all the storm clouds)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-28 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"HEY! I'LL SHOW YOU WHO NEEDS TO HIDE HER FACE!" Kaoru snapped, pointing her finger at the now very furious nurse, struggling in Kenshin's grip as she hissed, "Let go of me Kenshin! I'm going to take her out!"

But alas, his grip was on her ponytail and that was Kaoru's Achille's heel. So Kaoru could only growl curses at the woman as she struggled.
ryuuhirameki: (✗ but I have not left your side)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-28 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, no. I think there has been enough of that for today. You'll feel better when it's not so crowded..."

And so he continued towing her towards the door, ignoring all the heads turning in their direction.
shihandai: (✿she is the healing)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-28 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Kaoru skewered the vicinity with a ferocious glare; people turning quickly to act like they had not been staring.

"What are you looking at? " She huffed; protesting just as much. "My face is perfectly fine! You try getting hit by a monster five times your size! See how you like it! " More curses, more growls but it was fruitless, considering that she was still being towed by the rurouni.

ryuuhirameki: (✗ I am the pain)

[personal profile] ryuuhirameki 2012-01-30 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Kenshin let go of her the moment they reached open air. For just a moment he dropped his defensive stance, tensed his shoulders for a different reason as he turned away from Kaoru. A moment to compose himself—it was all he needed, but it was a moment more than was usually necessary.

But it was only a moment, and he turned back to Kaoru with the same silly smile on his face as before.

"I think it's better out here, don't you?
shihandai: (✿and you told me that)

[personal profile] shihandai 2012-01-30 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
Kaoru the minute she was let go quietly folded her arms into her sleeves, watching him from the corner of her eye, as she always did. She always watched Kenshin--not in the sense of over interest--simply because she noticed how he'd always have a slight slip in his guard.

The fact he wouldn't face her for that instant?

That was a slip. Her eyes narrowed, innocent as they were they had a level of shrewdness that somehow came naturally when it came to the man she had opened her home to.

..Something's wrong. Is it about today? Or is it something else..--I've got to act together or I won't find out.

Was all she thought, as Kaoru turned and glanced up at the cold wintery sky, and she found the lump in her throat returning. This wouldn't do--she was thinking of the day again and being in the city didn't really help.

She'd go home with Rangiku and she'd drag her off to do something ridiculous and she'd feel better. (Right?)

Kaoru wasn't sure it really was better. Frankly it was uncomfortable being in the city.

"..Away from that nurse? You bet. It's her lucky day, that's for sure." She retorted, but her smile was lighter than the forced one from minutes before.

"You'd think she'd seen a split lip before--honestly!" She continued, crossing her arms. Inwardly she was waiting for another slip. So she could be sure.
