Drown.

[|.|straw.berry|.|]

[ooc: private. O: Kinrui, I'm soooo sorry if it might be too short or too long. >.<]

I had no idea why I chose to leave the confines of my room. With the moon up so high, and the winds cold and menacing, only an idiot would choose to travel into unknown areas of a campus. And heck, I bet I'm the only one awake and wandering right now. What if I get into trouble? With the Alice ban, I'm not allowed to call for any of my dolls for help.

My uncovered foot stepped on something thin-like, and it gave way until I found myself head-deep in freezing water.

I flung out my arms and gasped for air the moment my head found its way above the lake, and I sank once more. Somehow, my thin cotton pajamas weighted tons underneath. I kicked and flailed my limbs about, but with my fear of water and swimming, I was doing no good to stay afloat.

My lungs started to burn. Darkness started to explode in tiny dots before my eyes, and bubbles started leaving my open, screamless mouth. There was nobody to save me now. My golden locks swayed and moved in the water like snakes. But there is definitely nothing available, neither my ability nor any outsider, could help me out.

I was going to die.

[Hayai Koroshita]

D: I'll use Hayai, M'kay?

A puff of smoke he had to blew out of his mouth for some, as always, it comes to notice that he does smoke like a chimney, he was here as soon before the girl even began to drown, this was his spot, he had always liked this place since he hears no complains about random people..

Wearing a black sleeveless yet Hood(ed) shirt with some tribal design on the back painted in white with a caption saying 'Lifeless flower', the tribal design did look like somewhat a flower, a dandelion maybe? nah.. it looked more like a vest if you asked someone, but this is from a British wardrobe, complains? none? good, he'd probably make a punch on a face to those who'll make fun on his clothing. now, the lower part of his body had worn a dark grey jean, it had a rip part both on the knee section, and the end of the jean had also a shredded design. and for added comfort, Hayai worn a pair of stripped black and grey fore arm warmers, thats about it, the attire of the day..

Leaning on a tree he watched a girl foolishly stumble on a lake, a ugly lake, atleast for his judgement, he watched the female flail and make a few attempt of scream, he chuckled some watching her with his sadistic moments, he shook his head throwing the stick of cigar to a random place, he then started to pull the box of even more cigarettes, he pulled out his wallet, then, his shirt, what? he's going to save her? unexpected for Hayai..

He jumped in the said lake with a irritated look on his face, he dunked himself under the water making the female ride on his shoulder so she could atleast gasp some air already, just about when they hit the land, he dropped her off, not gently, nor harsh, just average? or not..

He spits some of his own saliva out of his mouth thinking some of the lake's liquid came in, after that, he wildly shakes his head ruffling the moist out of his hair, he then eyed the girl looking at her if she can breathe well, if not, it seemed its worst to worst..

[|.|straw.berry|.|]

[ooc: ooh. o.o okae.]

At that moment I thought I was doomed, something grabbed me and hauled me from where I was, and I gasped as my head rose above the water. Dripping, I was dropped none too gently on dry land, and I stayed in my somewhat sprawled position as my savior shook the damp liquid from his hair and spat out at his side. I wondered if I should thank him. I was never the kind who'd do so in the first place anyway. In fact, everything I did had me enemies in the end. I moved my head to the side and realized he was watching me, probably wondering what he should do next. Screw CPR, I'm alive.

I pushed myself up to a kneeling position, coughing out the water from my aching lungs. My arms were trembling as I leaned on it; I might be too heavy right now for my weak limbs, or was there water inside me that made me feel this way?

What a stupid question.

I finally straightened my sitting position, my forelegs spread out whereas my thighs were close together, and enveloped my shaking fingers around my wet hair. I squeazed, although not so hard, and the water dripped out heavily. My hair is a mess.

I turned at last to my rescuer, frowning at him. I was tempted to say 'thanks' at least, but my pride would not let me do so. But I had to say something.

"Tha-thanks..." I mutter, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, and it took me all the effort to look straight in his eyes. A one time thing.

[Hayai Koroshita]

dully notes: that Hayai is completely an ass xD Sorry, just try to get along with him..

"Tha-thanks..."

He didnt even gave her a glimpse, well,its good she said thanks, but nonetheless, he stil doesnt care. he moved to retrieve the items her dropped on the ground aimlessly, he pockets his wallet then his cigarrette pack, but before that, he flicked another one out mouthing the said cancer stick then! lighting it with his lighter, ...his lighter, Oh great, he remembered, he didnt pulled that one out, this pissed him off badly, He threw the lighter that failed to cast a flame..

He glared at the female with his narrow eyes of course he knew because of her he had sacrificed his lighter, as always, Hayai blamed someone elses on his mistake, "Idiotic clumsy little b*tch*s shouldnt be running around such defiled place.." He said swearing some and insulting her at the same time, He then bended over grabbing his sleeveless hooded shirt then wearing it, good thing is, he had always kept another lighter on the side pocket of that hoodie shirt, he pulled one out and started to make ember out of his cig, he returns the emergency lighter and grabbed the cancer stick between his index and middle finger.

puffing some smoke he returned his amesyth glare at the female, "What are you doing in such secluded place?--" He asked leaning to a tree, wow, Hayai asked a positive question, probably not,"--Oh wait, I know, You dont even Hell know where you are going.." He stopped again, he looks on the side opening his lips again slowly "Tsch!..Kudaranai.." He added and cussed again! hah, thought so, theres no way Hayai would even think about someone elses but him..

After that he sucked and puffed some smoke again from his menthol flavored Malboro, its his favorite, questions? no? good. He then brushes his hair with his free hand and then, grabbing the hoodie wearing it back to his head, he was feeling rather cold now, all thanks to this person, he couldnt even careless if this person was high on the academy, buts thats probably impossible, someone who acts so new cant be, wait, new, yeah, maybe she is new, He's new too, so who cares?..

[|.|straw.berry|.|]

[ooc: LOL, he is. x3 But I can bear with it. Eva is bad too, no?]

"Idiotic clumsy little b*tch*s shouldnt be running around such defiled place.."

The words rang out as an insult, but I did not cringe at them. No. I would never back off. Especially if he wanted to think he was dominating here, or that it was my fault I'd got him into this mess- oh wait, it is. But nevertheless, I will not say any apologies or sweet crap. This boy, he's starting to piss me off. I'm going to show him that despite the fact I have problems in water, I am not someone easy to push around.

Not a chance I'd let him do that.

"What are you doing in such secluded place?--" a pause, as if he just thought of something. "--Oh wait, I know, You dont even Hell know where you are going.." He glared at me from the side. "Tsch!..Kudaranai.."

That was certainly the last straw.

"Well, this little b*tch wanted to do some sight-seeing for the night!" I fumed at him. Spotting the cigarette stick he had in his mouth, I ducked back down and scooped a handful of lake water. Grinning maliciously, I threw it at his face. That would show him, the jerk.

"Now that we have cooled off, why don't you show me the way back?" I asked innocently, turning my back to him and pretended to continue squeazing the water out of my hair. Dang, even my clothes are beyond recognition. The sweet little night clothes I had on was soaked through, and the winds did not do any help in drying. In fact, they started to get colder than before. Or was it the dampness my attire provided? I drop my hands and squeaze out the water from the front of my blouse, muttering complains about how I looked and about the man who had saved me and annoyed me at the same time.

"Are you taking me back or not?" I grin at him, teasing. "Or would you want me to show you who's boss?"

[ooc: scratch that, Eva is a mean little girl. Dx I suppose Hayai would get her for this? ._.]

[Hayai Koroshita]

"Well, this little b*tch wanted to do some sight-seeing for the night!"

Interesting, another female fire-fighter, this academy truly have gotten into his interest, of course his purple hues was still locking at her, he watched her attempt to throw some of the water. she was to throw it at him, it aimed on his face..

Sadly..

Hayai had been trained and experienced to an even faster attacks, like bullets, knife, etc. a simple motion of his body, that evaded the water, or so he though, out of his pride, he failed evading all of the water, it hit his shoulder. Hayai is a hot-headed kind of person, but since that was just child's play for him, he blood merely did not even boil, he makes an attempt to shove the moist off his clothing but it had dug in the said fabric, He quirked a brow at the female listening to her next sentences..

"Now that we have cooled off, why don't you show me the way back?"

"Are you taking me back or not?"

"Or would you want me to show you who's boss?"

"F*ck that.." He replied to all her statement, "I am not suprised an idiot like you got lost on this place.." He added some more huffing and puffing some more smoke on the menthol flavored cigarre..

perhaps, this girl aint that brave at all? well, we'll see, he coughed a bit moving his lips starting to talk again "You do know this place is rumored to be haunted, and you do know that 'Mr.Bear' strays around this place?" He said turning on his back combing his bangs to his side so his left eye's gaze can be cleared, "Good luck with you then, I'll find my way out.." He added starting to walk off throwing the cigarre stick on her, the ember was small, but it can still sting the human skin or perhaps make a burn mark on a clothing, nonetheless he didnt even made an effort to aim at her, but due to his keen senses, there are still high possibilities it'd hit her..

He started to move his legs walking off slowly enjoying the forest breeze, making an attempt to leave the girl..

>xD Told you he is an ass..Gomen! ._. -bows bows- try to keep up?

[|.|straw.berry|.|]

[ooc: ZOMG, he is! O: Ah well. x3 Fun fun fun~]

"F*ck that.." He said coolly; I bet he's so smug after evading- well, almost evading- my little trick! But I almost got him, didn't I? The proof's right there, on his shoulder...though it should have gotten all over his face!

"I am not suprised an idiot like you got lost on this place.."

What?

So he hasn't given up yet?

"You do know this place is rumored to be haunted, and you do know that 'Mr.Bear' strays around this place?"

That got me. I glare at him, indignant. Does he take me for a fool? I do not believe in empty threats like that, geez! He turned on his heel to leave, wiping hair out of his left eye. "Good luck with you then, I'll find my way out.." With that he tossed his cigarette stick back at me, and it landed on my forearm. I let out a frustrated gasp and quickly jerked my arm away to let the stick fall to the floor. It didn't leave a wound, but it did left a mark. And it stung.

When I was done looking at the cigar, I turned my gaze back at him and saw- to my complete frustration and annoyance- that he was taking his leave. I will NOT let him leave me like this!

"Hey, wait up!" I scream, getting to my feet then running to his side, glaring daggers at his face. "I-if the haunted rumor was true, it wouldn't hurt to help a new student like me, huh?!" The question ended in a shout, and I stomped in front of him to stop his stride. "You are too much- of all the people I have to be stuck with in this place, I had to end up with a...pug face like you!" I pointed a finger at his face, accusing. I was smaller than him though; it probably look less threatening in this pose, since he's more of a head taller than me, and I look like a squirt. What was worse, I had my legs straight, but my torso bent. My damp hair flowed gently down, tracing my limbs. Oh gods, I bet I look more of a brat. Is he doing this because I was a small, Alice-banned female? I swear, I'm going to show him otherwise...

There was a low grumbling to be heard somewhere behind us, and I looked past his shoulder to see what it was. A few paces back was a dark, shaggy figure rising from the bushes and trees that surrounded the lake I had fallen into. Quite suddenly, my courage and anger dissipated. He wasn't kidding with the 'Mr. Bear' thing, now was he?

"Uh...senpai..." I stammer, moving my accusing finger from him to whatever was behind. Why did I call him that? Well, he looked pretty old...but that was as possible as with being impossible. Wow, the irony. "...w-what's that behind you?"

[ooc: woot. >3< Chasing time. x3]

[Hayai Koroshita]

It came to his interest when he heard her get stung by the ember of his cigarre, made a small chuckle not even that clear to himself, but still he knew he did made a chuckle, he kepts walking after that..

"Hey, wait up!"

She stopped right infront of me, oh great, what a hassle for the night, he had always wanted to make this day atleast a relaxing one, but doesnt seem to be possible for now, all thanks to this little spoiled brat, atleast it came to his guessing that she is one, or not, Hayai judge people? and yes, he feels like a god, he couldnt careless about what they think to his judgement..

"I-if the haunted rumor was true, it wouldn't hurt to help a new student like me, huh?!"

"You are too much- of all the people I have to be stuck with in this place, I had to end up with a...pug face like you!"

She had pointed her fingers right infront of him, how rude, no one ever dared to do that to him back then, but annoying as it seemed, Hayai quirked a brow not even caring to listen to her anymore, "Blah blah blah.." He muttered yet still clear for the other to listen, he was to continue his track since this girl was getting louder and louder by the minute, despite the fact he was underestimating her, He knew that she probably have an interesting Alice, an Alice that would teach himself a lesson, but luckily, Hayai is abusing the fact everyone has their restrictor, so no vengance can be really countered at him at the moment..

"Bah, get lost you little wimp, if it wasnt for me you'd be dea--" He stopped for his reply as she soon pointed behind him..

"Uh...senpai..."

"...w-what's that behind you?"

He heard her, maybe karma was looking at both of them, and did sent Mr.Bear, he heard rumors about that thing, it beats and probably pulverize the heck out of students, everyone, even if you're new, cute, teacher, nice, scary, etc, NO EXCEPTIONS.

He would want to take glimpse on what that figure can be, but the fact is, he's not that though at all, even such rumor can effect Hayai, just at the middle of her sentence, he had started to ran off, perhaps not even for her to notice, He ran off with his emotionless expression printed on his face and the hoodie blowing off down his head since he did not really wanted to know what the said figure can be.

"Guess what? I dont want to know!" He yelled at her when he was maybe already four-feet away from her, he did not even bother to suggest to start running, but he's sure she'd ran too since she looked more even afraid than him, Duh? that expression less face compared to spoiled braty one?..

Even in the middle of a 'ran-away' scene, Hayai started to pull out another stick of cig out of his green designed Malboro box, he flicks the said stick unto his mouth then retreating the box back at his pocket while his other hand grabbed the lighter from his hoodie'pocket, he makes a foolish attempts to light the cig, and sadly yet expectedly, he fails, since his speed caught thru the air, the lighter wont even make a simple fire, he sighed at this still attempting and running away at the same time..

[|.|straw.berry|.|]

"Bah, get lost you little wimp, if it wasn’t for me you'd be dea--" he stopped at that, and I realized he had gotten the picture I was trying to show him. He didn't take a look though; before I knew it, he had sprung to full speed and ran past me. Yeah, he got the picture alright. And his little cowardly stunt made it clear to me that one: he wasn't that tough at all, or two: that thing I just saw really was dangerous.

I am not stupid enough to stay and see for myself.

"Guess what? I don’t want to know!" he screamed back at me, and I whipped around to see him already a few good meters away. Panic grabbed hold of me for a second, but quickly I shook it off, and launched at a run myself.

"W-wait! Don't leave me here!" I shout, flailing my arms before me in a vain attempt to reach him. "We're going to run in circles, stop for a moment! Hide!"

Waaait a second, bears are excellent hunters, aren't they? They could smell and track better than any other predators in the forest. And they could climb trees. You can't outrun a bear either. The only way to survive when assaulted by one was...

...oh crap, we have to stand against it.

Ducking low enough, I stretched out an arm and grabbed a stick I passed by and stopped in mid step. The beast was coming; I could hear the loud footsteps that caused the whole floor to tremble. With stick in hand, I stood with my legs spread apart, perhaps slightly shaking in fright. But only a bit. I've been taught plenty of times that one way to stop an enraged animal was by blinding it and getting away before it could regain itself.

Worth a try. If not, I'm done for.

By now, the guy I had met would probably be somewhere far enough. If ever I survive this, I would hunt that man down and show him a piece of my strength...

The low grumbles were getting louder now, and I could see the eerie glow of its yellow eyes. I adjusted my hold on the stick

I had. It's do or die, I think. I'm doomed.

The thing was over eight feet tall- or was I just imagining it? Whatever height it had, it was certainly taller than me, and wider than three adult men put together. This bear was HUGE. And just look at those claws. I was starting to get sick with fear; my hands were sweating, my legs trembling, and my heart had started to beat faster. Dang Alice ban. I can't believe that I'm so helpless without my Alice.

A low growl, ending into an ear-splitting roar. I squeezed my eyes shut but dared not flinch back. I only had one shot at this.

"Eat this!" I scream, thrusting the arm I had back with the stick, letting lose my weapon. I had aimed it right enough, and there it was, flying through the air like an arrow. My hopes of survival and victory vanished once the great beast merely raised its arm and swatted the stick away like a fly. My eyes widen in terror as realization finally hit me: I had no chance against this. Why did I even try? Am I that stubborn enough to believe that I am nothing without my dolls?

As painful and accusing as the thoughts may be, it was nothing compared to the pain that exploded into my chest as its arm had been swung forward and slapped me back. My small limbs, although positioned to block anything against a direct attack on my chest, stood no chance either. I cried as my back hit wood, and slowly I slumped to the floor.

I moaned, forcing my eyes to stay focused as the bear approached me in an agonizingly slow way.

I was done for, alright.

[ooc: o.o karma is bad.]

[Hayai Koroshita]

He was still running, 'Bah, she would've known better, bears arent that fast runners, though they have large amount of stamina..' he said inside him trying to fight his instinct to save her again, She was annoying, bratty, spoiled, etc, she was a great pain in the rear-end, they werent even together in a hour yet she got in trouble two times now, alas Hayai was still human, despite the fact he was careless, cold hearted, and sadistic, but he knew, he got to do responsibilities too..

He shifted his running motion to his back going straight for the bear, yep, he knew she was with it, that beast sounds like its already fighting or murdering her..

He took glimpse of her trying to fight the bear, she threw a stick, "Wow! I thought my dog! was dumb!!" He yelled at her still having the guts to insult her even if he was to save her again.., the beast was indeed large, somewhat like a big bouncer, only fuzzier..

just about when the bear attempts its counter attack on the girl's chest, Hayai jumped out of a bush landing landing on the bear's arm, he used his own foreleg as a shield, it was painfull, but not really, since Hayai probably used to things like this, the bear stopped and growled at him, trying to intimidate Hayai, humans are more intimidating if only this beast knew it, he turned his glimpse on the female for awhile locking his amesyth glare at her "Run away, now..." He said, not shouting, still in his calm tone, well, actually, his heart was beating crazily, he fought in cities, but not bears yet, though he knew this would be an experience his life oculd still be at stake..

The bear growled once more and attempts to claw Hayai's face, he moves back his chest and head some avoiding the first claw and landing his left feet on the bear's chest, it hit, but merely did any damage on him since he didnt really used any true force yet, out of the mindless counter attack, the bear attempts to land another attack..

'Wha? counter-counter attacK?'
He gasped silently looking at the claw

The claw hits his cheeks, barely since Hayai probably evaded it some, three slashes were printed on Hayai cheeks now, slight bleeding since its not deep enough, Hayai made a cocky smirk as the beast once again! attacks, but this time using both of its claws, forcing it like he was swimming, Hayai makes a duck and knew that there was a incoming attack from a bear, the bear reforms his attack by forcing it back in a swimming motion yet on reverse, imagine that..

Hayai slides of backwards then jumping on the bears claw, it was immobile for the second, he moved a hand on his right boot grabbing his switchblade there, he flipped it 360 degrees then flipping on side 180 degrees and ta da! the blade was open, Hayai wanted as he stood back up wondering what the bear attack, expecting the girl to run away..

he was still panting, so as the bear, they've seemed tired, since the bear made alot of attacks, his stamina was already used up, but that same goes for Hayai since humans have lower capacity of stamina, he quickly reached his freehand on the hoodie's pocket lighting his cigarre stick again, he did not forget that it was still sticking on his mouth, he huffs and puffs not even bothering to take it off since he was more concentrated on the bear, all thanks to her..

lets try finishing this now, xD Imma move to the new AA
