Don't Worry (Mitsu)

[Mitsukai]

"Hah.. No, you didn't did you...? Hell, almost no one in that school has any idea who I am...." "Ryu Hayabusa."

Ryu Hayabusa eh? Well now she had a name and he already had hers so there was no need to introduce herself. She was never really bothered by that fact. At the time she had been Varsity Captain everyone at school had known her name so it came as to no surprise that this man had found out.

"Thank you....for everything...." she said a bit awkwardly as she took a burger and took a small bite out of it. She was not the best at socializing, and nor was she really used to it but when someone did something for her she did show her gratitude.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu stopped in mid-chew, bright blue eyes panning up at her. The light in the room was bright enough that they didn't glow, but they were still that piercing husky color. Finishing the bite, "Don't worry about it." He looked away for a second, then looked back up into her eyes. They really were the most peculiar things. Short of glowing, they were even more strange than Ryu's. Very cat like. He chuckled lightly to himself. A dog and a cat. That was fuckin' amusing.

He quickly finished the burger and moved onto the next one. He continued to eat in silence as the TV played in the background. The song was a little awkward, the lyrics mildly fitting their situation... And not in a good way, either. Clearing his throat, having finished his food, he stood up. "I'll be back in a minute." He said, walking back to the bags.

Pulling out a pre-paid throw away cellphone, he putzed with the settings a bit before walking outside. The sooner he made the call the better. The TV drowning out the conversation in Japanese as Ryu first called his master, then someone who had defected from a Yakuza branch. From there, it was a short wait while the Ex-Yakuza made a call. For which, Ryu stayed outside.

The phone rang after a minute and he answered. The arrangements had been made, and a...for lack of a better term, black market doctor was on his way. With that, Ryu walked back inside, taking the battery out of the phone and dropping them on the table. He'd have to dispose of it properly later. Her ribs came first.

[Mitsukai]

"Don't worry about it."

Mitsukai found herself in trance by his gaze. Those husky blue eyes impossibly deep. It was amazing how she had never really noticed them before, well not really. Normally in battle against someone much taller then she was (which would be everyone from this point she had ever faced) she had no time to focus on their face unless it was absolutely necessary, it was those arms and legs that were more important. But now that she had the chance to look at him without the worry of being struck....now she noticed how beautiful they were.

The music changed and with that Ryu stood up, breaking Mitsukai out of her little trance.

"I'll be back in a minute."

Mitsukai shook her head as she watched him leave. Well that was...weird. Very weird. Normally she was not really affected by anyone's eyes before so what made this guy any different. Her gaze shifted back to the TV trying to focus on something else. It was not like she was going to figure out what had caused that little incident today, nor did she wanted to. Besides she had never heard this song before so it was more interesting to listen to this then think about anything else right now.

Mitsukai finished her first burger and stared at the second one for a moment. Debating on whether she should eat it now or later. She wasn't the type to eat that much and the first one had satisfied her quite a bit, though of course she did not know when her next meal would be so it might be better to eat it now rather then later.

With a sigh she unwrapped the second one and forced it down. It might go bad if left out too long after all, at least her body was guaranteed to not need nourishment for a very long time today and that was good enough for her.

Ryu entered the room once again and Mitsukai debated if she should say something. The silence was surprisingly uncomfortable and there was one question that had been racing through her head ever since she woke up in this place. She just did not know how he was going to take it. She gave a small sigh, well she might as well just ask it if not for the answer itself but to end this long and stifling silence between them.

"Why did decide to help me?" she asked, at least thanks to the morphine running through her system she was finding it less painful to talk and there for there was less pauses. "You could have....just left me there."

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu sat next to her in the same chair and started rummaging through the bags of medical supplies. Half a ton of gauze wrap and ace bandages. A dozen or so first-aid kits, primarily for the shots of morphine. A large amount of fiberglass bandage for a cast, among other supplies for it. And a whole shitton of vitamins, supplements, cleansers, treatments, and over-the-counter pain killers. Even if he didn't need them all for her, he was stocked, locked, and ready to rock for treating any injuries in the future. And that was how he liked it.

Looking up at her, he solidly laughed for a few seconds when she posed her question. "Why indeed." He held a light tone as a small grin reached across his face, but not the psychotic one people were so familiar with. One that almost displayed a normal happiness... It was an odd thing. "I don't actually know. I could say that there was a shortage of perfect breasts in the world, and it would be a pity to damage yours you seem like a decent person, and to lose one when there's already so few in this fucked up world would be a shame...." His hands reached up for her arm, supporting it with one hand, and undoing the sling with the other. "I could say that, aside from raving psychosis, you're very much like me. That I picked up on that and formed some small attachment to you. I could say that I didn't want to lose an opponent, and wanted to keep you around so I could keep fighting you.

"I could say a lot of things as to why I helped you. But I wouldn't know which one was right. It's probably a bit of each of them... or some other cliche' shit like that." He leaned away from her a bit and looked her in the eyes. After a few seconds he shrugged and looked away, pulling a pair of scissors out of one of the first-aid kits, he looked back and took on a more serious tone again. "Trying to take off your shirt the normal way would probably do you more harm than good. I'll have to cut it off."

Tilting his head in a general backward direction, "I got you some clothes for when we're done. They might be a little big though. I've only seen you in anything form-fitting once." She'd probably appreciate that, actually. Particularly since the shirts would be easier to put on in that case. No bras or things like that, though. He'd need a specific size before embarrassing himself that much. Once she let him, he'd start cutting a line up the front of her shirt, then slice open the sleeves so it would simply fall off.

[Mitsukai]

His laugh was completely different from what she was used to hearing and that threw her off a little. It was as if he was a completely different person then the monster she had faced three times already. It was...interesting.

She would listen to his reply as he began taking stuff out for the next task. Her gaze fell away for a moment when he called her a decent person. If only he had known about that other side of her, the one that mutilated her best friend he certainly would not think of her as a decent person.

Then he pulled out the scissors and she had to stop herself from blushing. She knew well what was coming up next and though she was sure that Ryu was not much of a pervert she still felt damn awkward about it.

"Trying to take off your shirt the normal way would probably do you more harm than good. I'll have to cut it off." "I got you some clothes for when we're done. They might be a little big though. I've only seen you in anything form-fitting once."

Mitsukai didn't care that the new clothes might be a bit big. When you were her size almost everything was too big for you, it was no surprise that the clothes would only fit her loosely anyway. Mitsukai did not protest as he began to cut off the shirt she was now wearing. It was after all the only option they had, they could not just leave her ribs the way they were now. She'd just have to live with a few minutes of embarrassment for the time being.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

He couldn't help his eyes drifting to her chest as he pulled the shirt away from her back. Flicking them away, he put his attention on the bandages, readying them so he could get her covered up quickly, and end the awkwardness of it all. Though he doubted it would end with her simply no longer being exposed. His hands rose up to her shoulders, and he snipped the support straps of her bra. He breathed as he readied to cut the front of it. Despite having never pursued such things in the past, he wasn't asexual, unfortunately enough.... This was about to be just as awkward for the both of them....

His hand reached for her chest and the scissor would snip through the middle of the front of the bra. Again, he wouldn't be able to help his eyes drifting for a moment. Nor would he be able to help them lingering. The last time he had seen such a thing was when he was too young to remember.

[...Damn.]

You can say that again...

[Damnit! Focus.]

He'd look away quickly, biting the inside of his cheek, hoping that the pain of it would keep his mind on the right track. Dropping the scissors, he'd grab the bandages, and reach around her body-- [Amazing body.]

[Shut up!]-- and quickly, but carefully wrapping them around her. Looking to cover up her exposed chest as quickly as possible, he worked his way from the top down. In his rush, he'd accidentally brush his hand against her left breast, which would cause even his face to flush slightly before he bit down on the inside of his cheek even harder. After a tense minute, the worst part-- [You mean best.]

[Bitch, shut the FUCK up.]-- would be over, and he'd continue wrapping bandages around her torso until the entirety of it was covered in one layer of bandages. A second time would be needed, possibly a third, but at least she wasn't out and about any more.

Cackling again, [Damnit, Ryu. You really are a lucky bastard, sometimes!]

"I said shut the fuck up!" He'd say aloud to nothingness before managing to catch himself. Reddening slightly again, "Ehh...sorry." His hand would come up to tap the side of his head. "Talking to...up here...." No one knew for sure that he was DID. He hid it rather well until Chaos went out and about, and even then, there was no certainty to it.

[Mitsukai]

Mitsukai had to lower her head and close her eyes as he started to cut off her shirt. It would only be more awkward for her if she saw what was going on, and at this point she could not bare to look at him. Her long flowing hair tumbled over her shoulders as the first layer came off and she had to pull it back with her good arm to keep it out of the way.

For the first time ever in the girl's life she actually wished that she was smaller.....or at least that certain features matched her body stature. Why the hell was it that though she was so damn small in height that only her chest was a bit above average? How the hell did that work out?

Her body naturally tensed a bit as he wrapped the bandages around her body. The feeling of his touch when he accidentally brushed against her turned her face scarlet. God this was so embarrassing. She knew he did not mean it but that still didn't help much at all.

"I said shut the fuck up!"

She jumped a little at the sudden out burst, her eyes snapping back open and looking up at the blushing man in confusion. "Ehh...sorry." "Talking to...up here...." an eyebrow raised at his statement. Well that was odd, one could only imagine what was going through his head for him to have bursted out like that. At least the worst part was over with.

"I-it's okay." she said quietly, lowering her head back down again. Her long black hair falling back down over her shoulders and now lightly covering over her chest. It she had to admit was one of the good things about her hair, it was great for covering up when needed.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Looking away again, "Heh...Yeah.... If you couldn't tell, I'm..pretty psychotic. Unfortunately, split personalities came with the package..." He grabbed more bandages and reached for her again, this time, starting from the bottom. Moving her hair first, he wrapped his arms around her waist and passed the bandage around her, keeping it tight as he moved it up her torso. "And...well.... To put it simply, the bastard is thinking some decidedly bad thoughts... and... Well, yeah. Shutting up now." He was so cute when he was awkward, wasn't he? No one ever got past his outer defenses, and this whole situation had taken a nuke to the fucking wall. It was leaving him as exposed mentally and emotionally as she had just been, physically.

He was certainly glad that so far she seemed to be a decent, modest person, else her awkwardness would have been stacked on top of his and rammed down his gullet. To tell the truth, even if he had known about her other side, he wouldn't have thought any differently of her. Homicidal murderous intent was not on his list of downsides in people. Occasionally, it was even a good thing. As long as one didn't intentionally kill any particularly innocent people, all was good, right? Right. Hence why he hated his other half so much. Bastard was indiscriminate. Or at least had been in the past. He'd been rather tame, lately.

Hands passing over her chest again, he moved with more precision and less haste, as again.. she was at least covered now. Finishing this bandage at the top of her bust, he'd reached for another one, and begin wrapping the bandages around her shoulders as well, forming a tank top of wrappings. It may be a little excessive, but the sheer number of breaks in her ribs would easily justify the caution. The only issue was the fact that they'd need to change and or adjust the bandages often... That meant more exposure, and more awkwardness.

Finishing the wrapping, he'd lean back in the chair and stare out the window. "Shit that was awkward...." In an undertone.

[Mitsukai]

"Heh...Yeah.... If you couldn't tell, I'm..pretty psychotic. Unfortunately, split personalities came with the package..."

Mitsukai chuckled lightly at that. Looked like she was not the only one with a split persona. No wonder he had suddenly blurted out like that. There were times she too wanted to scream out loud at her alter ego, though she had yet let it slip in front of others.

"And...well.... To put it simply, the bastard is thinking some decidedly bad thoughts... and... Well, yeah. Shutting up now."

Again an eyebrow would raise at that. Well it shouldn't be that surprising. After all he was still a man, at least she knew that Ryu himself was pretty tame about this even if his other half wasn't. It was a good thing that Nami was not present for all of this. Though for sure she would find out soon after she woke up again. Though Mitsukai did not know exactly why but her alter always seemed to know whatever happened in Mitsukai's life. And the second she discovers what had happened today....well she would not be pleased at all.

Mitsukai was less shy about the task now as he added another layer on her chest. Since she was no longer exposed it was not so much of a deal. What was going through her mind now was Nami. It would be much easier to tell him now about her other half now that she knew he too had a split persona. It would still be a bit tricky to explain but at least he was more likely to believe her.

Once he was done and sitting back in his chair Mitsukai spoke up again.

"Listen, Ryu....I have something I must tell you." With a heavy sigh she would steady herself. Looking down at her lap as she struggled to find the words she needed to say. "I also have a split personality.....she, she is very dangerous and seems out to kill anyone in her sights. What is worse is that I can't control her yet. She is asleep now but she could come out at anytime and try to kill you." It was a hard thing to say but it needed to be said. She had to at least warn the man caring for her that she had a homicidal persona that might try to slit his throat in his sleep right?

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu blinked and looked at her. That didn't sound like a good thing. Leaning forward again, resting his gloved arms on his knees, he looked her in the eye with a gaze that no one ever saw. Focused, but calm. Definitely not angered, and not distant as per how he looked at the ground when he walked about. A brow raised when she said that she too was Dissociative. And here he thought he was being relatively original about it.... Then she went on with the rest of it. An awkward smile appeared on his face and his torso heaved slightly as he held back a laugh.

After a moment though, he couldn't help but burst out into a broad laugh that lasted some time. It steadily died out, and, still chuckling, "Trust me, this bastard in my head was a lot worse than anything you could muster. Besides, you don't have to worry about me.... A, it's not as if I'm about to sleep in that bed with you, so at least for now you wouldn't be able to even get to me. B, even after you recover enough to move around... Well, let's just say that attacking me in my sleep hasn't been an issue for a couple of years now." He sat back as he spoke, grinning rather broadly.

After a minute, "As for control, I can help you with that. I managed to get this prick under wraps fairly well, though mine is kind of a special case..." Now that they were well enough off the topic of her breasts, he was much more relaxed about the whole thing. She was doped up, her injuries were patched up, he'd get her arm in a cast, and wait for the doctor to arrive. ...Though this wasn't exactly a good place to hold surgery... Perhaps it was time to invest in an actual house....

Looking back towards her again, "Do you want to meet him?"

[Mitsukai]

That laughed surprised her. Normally when one told another that they had an alter ego (though this was her first time ever telling someone >.>) one would expect them to take the matter more seriously. Instead he seemed to take the situation fairly easily. Well of course he would, he has the same problem as me. she thought to herself.

As he listed off the reasons why she didn't need to worry to much about her killing him she couldn't help but think.

A. If he did try to get into bed with her tonight SHE would probably kill him before Nami even had the chance to wake up.

B. That even though Kevala had also been a bit cautious Nami still managed to get to her. At least by him now knowing about her other half he would be careful but with Nami you never knew when the crazy bitch was going to come. AT least for now she had not even budged.

At least he made an offer to help her control her dark half. So with his help she might be able to overcome her DID.....or at least maintain it. As for what she would do once she did get Nami in control she did not know. Originally she had planned to return home and let Kevala decide her fate but after last night it seemed like her old friend already had her fill. Besides their were too many dangerous people out to get her, even turning up at school was potentially life threatening.

"Do you want to meet him?"

Mitsukai blinked at him in surprise. Ryu wanted her to see his alter? Well it probably was safe enough if he would ask her if it was alright. Besides he did say that his alter was far worse then her's and he never met Nami. At least she will be able to judge that for herself if she saw him with her own eyes. With that she would nod, give him permission to release the demon within him. It is a real good thing Nami is not awake yet or this might become ugly.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Demon was right. He had been tamed, but he was still the Psychotic Demon as much as Ryu was the Evil Angel, though then again, this whole situation was taking the evil out of that title a little bit...wasn't it? At least Ryu could care for those who mattered. That was something.

"Since I'm letting him out, I'll still have relative control over my body, so don't worry." He reassured, his voice fading slightly toward the end as he relinquished control. Body staying unnaturally still for a moment, his pupils suddenly widened to dangerous proportions, the blue of his eyes becoming halos that literally glowed, despite the bright light in the room. The manic grin she knew and loathed returned in full force, and a small psychotic chuckle emanated from Ryu's throat as the piercing eclipses locked on Mitsukai's cat eyes. Cats, dogs, and moons. Heh.

"Well hello, gorgeous." The much lighter toned voice sounded, as disturbing as ever. Ryu's right bicep twitched as the primary consciousness scolded Chaos from within the mind. "That's an amazing body you've got there." The grin couldn't have been bigger for a moment before the head twitched to the right, the grin vanished and the tone grew angry. "Shut the fuck up, Ryu. I'm just saying what you don't have the balls too, and you fucking know it."

The head twitched back to Mitsu's face, the grin returning. The eclipsed eyes whipped down to her injured leg, and the grin twitched. "What a magnificent wound," Ryu's body whipped forward before stopping dead, a hand raised near her knee. The body looked like it was struggling against itself, and the insane expression disappeared again. "Fuck off already, you bastard, I wasn't going to do anything to it. Gnn... Fuckin...prick!"

With that, the huge muscles across the body laxed as within that brain, Ryu ripped Chaos back into the deep and kept him there. His pupils shrank back to normal levels, and his eyes blinked several times, adjusting to the lack of light once again. Sitting up, "Sorry about that... Even when I let him out, son of a bitch doesn't know how to contain himself...."

[I know how to contain myself just fine, you self righteous bastard! I told you I wasn't going to do any thing to it, I was just looking!]


...Riiight.

[Mitsukai]

"Since I'm letting him out, I'll still have relative control over my body, so don't worry."

So Ryu could actually maintain control of his own body even when he let his other side take over? That was interesting, she herself could not do such a thing. Any time either side took over they lost all sense of control and awareness. Sure Nami at least could see to some extent what was going on through Mitsukai's eyes but the girl herself was always unconcious whenever that woman was having her way.

Ryu's body became motionless and Mitsukai could see his eyes change. Those pupils widening and his blue eyes glowing despite the lack of light shining through them. Then came that smile, the one that Mitsukai had been used to before this incident.

"Well hello, gorgeous." "That's an amazing body you've got there."

She blushed again but instead of looking away as she had with Ryu Mitsukai fixed the alter with a pirecing glare, those pupils reduced to slits giving her the look of an angry wild cat. For a moment the alter snapped at his other side before turning back to her again.

"What a magnificent wound," He began now moving closer to her. A low feral growl eminated from her throat as she continued to glare at him, her long hair shading those golden eyes glowing slightly as they absorbed what little light there was.

It was just as that hand came inches away from that injury that Ryu took control. Forcing his alter back into his mind for the time being.

"Sorry about that... Even when I let him out, son of a bitch doesn't know how to contain himself...."

"It's okay." she told him, letting her guard down once again. The alter ego might have been an asshole but thanks to Ryu he had not gotten very far with whatever he was planning. Mitsukai only wished that one day she could also handle Nami like that.

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu shrugged. It kinda wasn't, Chaos should have learned by now, but that didn't matter. He hadn't gotten out, Ryu had let him out, and so that gave Ryu almost complete control when need be. Particularly with his dual faceted consciousness, he could force back Chaos so long as he was in good health and mental state. "We're going to have to come up with a way of moving you without damaging that leg. Obviously, I didn't have the foresight to pull the blankets off the bed before I set you down, so they're going to need to be cleaned. And for now, you're going to need usable blankets."

He went to get up again, then sat back down, eying her arm. "Should probably take care of that first, though." He pointed to her splinted appendage. Then the thought hit him. "Ah, there's an idea." Looking down to her leg then back up to her. "If we brace up the leg, I should be able to move you without doing any damage to it." From here he got up and got a large bowl filled with water and set it down on the nightstand.

Sitting back down, he'd begin taking off the splint he'd put on the arm. Once the splint was off he'd hold her arm in place in a prone position-- elbow at ninety degrees, palm towards the stomach-- with his left hand and reached for the stockinette. "Hold your arm in this position with your left." He'd say as he reached for the scissors again. After snipping it off at the proper length, covering almost her entire arm, almost up to the armpit, he'd slice a hole for her thumb, and put the scissors down. "Padding, padding. Ah." He'd pick up the thick roll of cast padding and begin wrapping it around her hand.

Once that was done, he'd fold back the edges of the arm sleeve over the padding and reach into one of the other bags. "Now, pick a color." He said smiling slightly. There was an assortment of various rolls of fiberglass. Black, Red, Blue, Green, White, Pink, Yellow. Just basic stuff, but she would be stuck staring at it for the next month or two.

[Mitsukai]

"We're going to have to come up with a way of moving you without damaging that leg. Obviously, I didn't have the foresight to pull the blankets off the bed before I set you down, so they're going to need to be cleaned. And for now, you're going to need usable blankets." "Should probably take care of that first, though."

Mitsukai glanced back down at her knee. Yeah something had to be done about it and fast. Though she was too afraid to risk going to the hospital where the doctors could possibly fix the damage she did not want to leave her leg the way it was. She needed her legs to move, to run, she could not fight without the use of both her legs. She could fight with only one arm yes but not one leg. How were they going to go about healing it? Did Ryu have some sort of plan for that?

"Ah, there's an idea." "If we brace up the leg, I should be able to move you without doing any damage to it."

She watched as he removed the splinter for her arm, flinching a little as he held her arm. It was not like it really hurt her or anything thanks to the morphine but it felt weird. "Hold your arm in this position with your left." She did as he instructed, letting him wrap up her arm.

"Now, pick a color."

"Red." she said. What Mitsukai could like other colors besides black right? >.>
