Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko has been...having a good time of things.

The sky is blue, things are calm, and even if she hasn't heard from Kukai everything else is great.

(She misses Kukai, of course.)

But Butterflies! Rainbows! Hell, even unicorns farting everywhere. Nadeshiko would take it because that's what she's good at.

Kukai Souma has posed:
Suddenly Nadeshiko's phone beeps. It's a text! From Kukai!

TXT from Kukai Souma: Hey. I need to talk to you. Something bad has happened - a few days ago, and I'm embarrassed about it. Can we meet somewhere private? Maybe in the dark?

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
She blinks at her phone. Even as she's responding, she blinks at her phone. "'Of course, Gorgeous.'" Because he is.

TXT from Nadeshiko: Who'se ass do I gotta kick? And baby, it can be as dark or as light as you want, you know that ;)

Kukai Souma has posed:
TXT from Kukai Souma: Nobody's ass. Mine. I did something helpful and it shot me in the face. Or rather the brain. Or the body. You can decide. Also dark. Very dark. I want the chance to run away from you if I need to. Let's meet up in the park. And Beat Jumper is running around in here - he is at least feeling better.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
TXT Kukai=The Whiney One finally did the smart thing? Good for him. He needs Rhythm.

Nadeshiko SIGHS and gets ready. Of course she looks gorgeous. Maybe a touch scandelous because it's Kukai asking.

TXT: No guarantee for how well I'll behave. But for you, I'll try ;)

Soon she's in the park. She clears her throat, already bored, and rocks on her heels. "Hello?"

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N had been in luck. Those shaky bushes from earlier had been a mugger, getting into position to jump some unsuspecting sucker. Well, sucker for him, since she'd sucked his life energy out till he'd collapsed. She'd left his knife and a note for the police underneath a pay phone where she was pretty sure he'd be found. Yay, she wasn't starving.

Kukai-N lurks in the shadows, seeing Nadeshiko arrive where they'd agreed to meet. Lust was not a positive emotion, was it? That was part of what she was feeling when she saw Nadeshiko's scandalous outfit. She growled, pushing all of that to one side, staying in the shadows, and called out. "...Nadeshiko? Over here. I'm over here. And... don't flip out when you see me."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko is already on guard. Because those were Kukai's words, just not Kukai.

"Oh hell no." She faces him and leans against a tree, arms crossed, and her expression leaves no room for argument. "Who the hell do I have to go after to fix this?"

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N sees her get close. The widening of the eyes in surprise and shock, then then furrowing of her brow as she gets angry. "Yes, hell. Hell, yes. I was stupid and tried to catch some stupid blue vole that went to tackle Norie, and Sakura was chasing it and yelled at me to catch it, and then it flashed and then the next thing I knew I was stuck in Norie's body and she was in mine. And everything sucks right now. Everything suuuuck sucks sucks." She crosses her arms and looks down, angry.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko gets close to Kukai. Well, technically not Kukai, but still him. Her eyes are wide and earnest as she looks at him, eager to help, eager to protect. "Who do you need me to go after, baby? I'll get them for this. I'll make them pay. You know I can."

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N growled and snapped at Nadeshiko, leaning forward. "I don't need you to go after anybody! I just need Sakura to get her card working again at some point and fix me! No villains, no bad guys, just a lazy little ten year old!" She hmphed, arms clossing, staring at Nadeshiko. "Put it back in your pants, Na-chan."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
She jerks back a little, her eyes wide. He...but he yelled at her!

She scowls. "Don't get mad at me! What, you go all off on a tangent and I don't get to be upset on your behalf for five seconds? Fine! I'll use it for someone who cares!"

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai groans and then scowls back at her. "You don't get it, Nadeshiko. Everything. Sucks. Right. Now. I cannot feel anything positive, just comfortable, and telling my girlfriend that I've been mind-swapped into the body of a dark energy life sucking monster is not only embarrassing but terrifying and upsetting!"

She takes a deep breath and tries to continue on a lower tone. "You can be upset for me if you want but everything that can be done is being done. And you should know that I want you to care about me. It just isn't always that easy."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko rolls her eyes. "Well, how can I get anything if your first action is to bite my head off, you bitch?"

She waves her hand. "Nevermind. Not important."

She leans forward, then. "So tell me, Beloved. Everything sucks, right? But how does it feel having breasts?"

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N's eyes flash. "I am not. A bitch." She stares at Nadeshiko for a minute, then abruptly shrugs. "Well maybe I am. That's not my fault. And I like nibbling on your head, it's fun."

She nods at the first part of that, then stares at Nadeshiko. "...Yes. Magically, everything is bad. You know how sometimes soft clothing feels really good against your skin? I can't feel anything like that. At all." She grits her teeth. "So I wouldn't know, except that they're kind of in the way when you want to do something in front of you."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
She rolls her eyes. "Fine, whatever. Either way, you're a jerk."

Her hand is waving, though, as though this were a flippant matter.

But there's more important matters to discuss. She'll hunt down this whoever and make them pay later. For now, though? "Oh, I totally get it. But trust me. Take advantage of them while you can." She stretches. And its very strategic. "Because they'll be gone quicker than you can blink."

Speaking of, she does so at Kukai. Several times. She leans forward and tilts her head. "You're doing okay, right? You haven't turned anyone into a raisin, have you?"

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N snorts at the 'jerk' comment. "Am not." The waving hand is a clue to her, though, and she dismisses it as well.

Kukai blinks when she says she gets it, then arches an eyebrow, watching Nadeshiko streeetch strategically. No. Lust is definitely not a positive sensation. And somewhere in the back of her mind she knows she wouldn't enjoy smooches or cuddles or anything else either. Something about that just makes her madder, fists clenching to each side. "You can stop that anytime."

She stares back at Nadeshiko, then flips one hand in a similar fashion to earlier. "Oh, just Nagihiko and Naru and Amu and some poor robber I encountered earlier this evening." She eyes Na-chan. "And no, I did not turn them into 'raisins'. But I did feed off them. I have to feed. ....Worse than even Lacrima does. I have to keep Daichi alive." Her gaze goes off to one side and down, obviously embarrassed.

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
She stops, but of course its with a roll of her eyes. "I was demonstrating, you lech. You could probably use it, too."

She snorts and shrugs. "Of course you do. If you didn't keep the both of you healthy, I'd have to come and kick both of your butts." She leans forward and her eyes sparkle dangerously. "You're not allowed to check out early, Souma. I won't allow it."

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N hmphs and rolls her eyes. "Of course you were. And... I'm twelve. If I tried anything like that people would just look at me funny. I'll ambush people from hiding, thank you."

She frowns and then sniffs. "I'd like to see you try to kick anything while I'm in the mood I'm in. It would not be pretty." She stares back into those eyes, then grins back, her own eyes gleaming. "I don't plan on checking out at all, thank you, Na-chan. I'm going to keep myself and Daichi alive." She stares at the taller girl, then nods to her. "So. This is where I've been the past few days."

Nadeshiko Fujisaki has posed:
Nadeshiko rolls her eyes once more and again waves her hand. "Yeah, yeah. Logic. Whatever."

Her grin turns devious as she leans forward. "You'd let me. And I bet you'd like it." She leans back. "But I'm glad that'd your plan. I'd have to intervene otherwise."

She looks at him and her head tilts forward. Her grin is almost malicious as her eyes grow dark. "Don't worry, Baby. I won't let anything bad happen to you."

And it's her belief that this is true. And she'd make sure she dies holding to this promise.

And now she leans forward. Her head tilts, just a little. "I can help you find lunch. I've been thinking of all the sorts of naughty little boys and girls I would go after if I had to."

Kukai Souma has posed:
Kukai-N sighs and shakes her head. "Cold logic seems to be what this body lives off of, that and life energy. And blind rage." She blinks, then hmphs. "I ... would not." It's not the strongest response to someone saying they'd kick your butt.

There is a moment where Kukai-N stares up at her from the 'baby' comment and makes a noise. Then Nadeshiko leans in and says... wow. Kukai-N just blinks at her. ".....Dinner, now, and I'm up for it, but... I don't want to hurt anyone who doesn't very much deserve it. If they're just a mean person, that doesn't seem like enough to go knocking them out for." She walks over, putting an arm around Nadeshiko and eyeing her. "....no." She shakes her head, looking down. What was that?
