[ Thanks to crossing paths with the wrong person, Riku's just had the maiming of her life. Smeared blood drops line down the hall marking her path, and Riku herself couldn't look much worse - pale and splattered with blood, most of her shirt ripped to shreds and an arm having been bitten or ripped off, judging by the mutilated stump of her shoulder.

She's managed to make it half-way to a bathroom; it was the first place that came to mind, where she'd at least find something to stem the bleeding if she couldn't locate potions. (Who knows if potions will even do any good on an injury this bad?) Better yet, the well-used hall was a place where she'd find help along the way, and if she doesn't stop the flow of blood soon, she's going to bleed to death.

Too bad shock's setting in fast. ]


[ooc: Screw timelines. Saïx had some fun with Riku. Behind a cut because I got descriptive with her injuries, heh.]

[seasides]

Riku?

[it's barely a whisper, the box in his hands dropping with a crash and scattering art supplies across the floor as he rushes to her, casting a Cure to at least try and slow the bleeding.]

[dawnrise]

[The Cure helps, small as it is in comparison, but she hardly notices. Riku's staring wide-eyed at her shoulder, holding tightly to the bleeding hole that was an arm once, too distracted to notice that it's Kai with her.]

[seasides]

[swears colourfully, bringing up as much magic as he can for a more powerful healing spell.]

You with me, Riku?

[dawnrise]

[The look on her face when she turns to him should answer that, almost blank but too horrified to go that far.]

[seasides]

[gets that next healing spell in, letting some light up to the surface to hopefully help her realize who exactly is there.]

[dawnrise]

[She's realized by now, letting go of her shoulder and reaching out to grab his arm.]

Kai.

[seasides]

[reaches to steady her carefully, still sending plenty of healing magic at her.]

Hey, Riku. I'm going to pick you up, okay? You shouldn't be walking around like this.

[dawnrise]

[More than fine with that. She doesn't even care right now, slumping forward to lean against him.]

[seasides]

[and just as carefully picks her up, immediately heading for the bathroom and leaving the art supplies behind. all the while he's keeping a small bit of healing magic flowing to her, though he's quickly running out.]

[dawnrise]

[It's probably painful how much her fingers are digging into his skin right now, but other than that she's unmoving.]

I don't want to die again.

[seasides]

[presses a kiss to her hair, suppressing his panic.]

I won't let you die, Riku, don't worry.

[he doesn't want to let go of her like this, so he's going to try and see if he can find some potions and an ether without having to.]

[neverpure.livejournal.com]

... you Rikus are all the same.

[floating above, his tail slowly flicking from side to side. unimpressed, he is.]

[dawnrise]

[Jerks her head up to look at him, eyes wide.]

What--

[neverpure.livejournal.com]

[just... looking, staring down at her.]

You. Rikus. Are. All. The. Same. What did you do, try to protect someone from a flesh-eating plant?

[dawnrise]

... No. Wish I had.

[Is she really having this conversation while she's bleeding out?]

soooooooooo laaaaaaaaate

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he's been looking for you and skids to a stop, upset when he sees your state*

Fuck, I was too late!

whaaaaat

[dawnrise]

[Riku might as well be wandering, holding her shoulder protectively and trying to focus. Looks like she's having trouble with that.]

i forgot to respond earlier ;o;

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he quickly casts Cure on you as he comes closer, bringing out a Megalixir as well*

Riku-pi! Riku-pi, it's me.

*pats* XD

[dawnrise]

Ri?

[That gets her to look up, focusing on him.]

T_T!!

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*he puts his arm around you to support you, being careful of your wounds*

Yeah, it's me. Can you drink this Megalixir? Shit, I can cast Cure again, too.

nuuuu no T_T face :<

[dawnrise]

[Support is nice to have; she'll be leaning heavily against him now. She nods at the question, letting go of her shoulder to reach for the bottle. Ye, she's actually intending to do it herself.]

T_______________T

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

Dammit, Riku-pi! Let me just help you for once!

*yes he's going to be holding the bottle to your lips himself and he fully expects you to drink*

DDD:

[dawnrise]

[Well that gets her to stop, tilting her head back to drink. Back to the gaping wound her remaining hand goes, then.]

:3

[windup-daddy.livejournal.com]

*once you're done drinking, he doesn't ask your permission and just hefts you into his arms, being careful not to jostle you as he carries you to your room*

I'm sorry I didn't get to you in time.

:|

[dawnrise]

[Ah-- well alright, she's not complaining. But there's a bit of confusion in her voice.]

What?
