When; May 15, after this
Rating; PG
Characters; Yuri Lowell [

notflynn] and Ino Yamanaka [

floralities]
Summary; After getting stabbed for what seemed to be the millionth time, Yuri gets a lecture.
Log; [Yuri is in his bed where Leon last left him, wondering why Shing went crazy but mostly wondering why he kept getting stabbed all the damn time. Sigh. Woe.

The wound still hurts, he isn't gonna lie. It always hurts - Leon could only really stop the bleeding with his level of healing. Other than that... well, he'd just have to tough it out.]

This sucks.

[Another sigh- and he climbs out of bed slowly. What to do in a situation like this? Find Ino, of course! So he limps his way to her place - he knows it by heart, now - eventually getting used to the sharp, stinging pain. Sort of. Whatever, there were Inos to find.

He makes it there and knocks, as he was taught]

[ Ino is trying very, very hard to shut out the ticking. So hard that she almost doesn't hear the sound of knocking at her door. But she's a ninja, and her ears have been trained well--she gets up, smooths down her skirt, and heads for the front door.

It must be Yuri. Only Yuri ever really bothered to visit her at home--that, and that reluctant knock was definitely his.

Sure enough-- ]

Yuri? [ Oh god, he was bleeding. Instinctively, she shoots forward to take his upper arm and lead him inside. ] What the heck happened?

[He allows her to lead him - and appreciates it, because he can hardly support himself.]

Ran into someone - someone who went a little crazy with his sword.

[Ow, ow, ow.]

Think I pissed him off a little.

[ She slings his arm over her shoulders and takes him to the bathroom, because that's about the only part of her apartment where she can actually get blood out. Careful not to jostle his wound too much, she sits him down on the toilet, then gives him a little more thorough visual examination. ]

You pissed him off? Lean back.

[ Her expression is pinched as she sets to work, hovering her hands over the wound and channeling her chakra into it. ]

[He does as commanded, suppressing any hisses or groans.]

Well, he was going on about something stupid. So I called him an idiot.

[Though he begins to feel the familiar warmth of her chakra, the healing of his wound]

[ Sigh. That was so typical of him. Ino rolls her eyes as she keeps healing him up, the wound slowly closing. ]

You're the idiot.

[ Another sigh. ]

Curse, right?

Edited 2010-05-20 08:34 (UTC)

Yeah, a curse. He'll get over it.

[He closes his eyes, breath harsh. He's so lucky to have her.]

Guess I'll check up on him tomorrow.

[ Thanks to the City limiting her abilities, it takes her a bit to close up the gash. She's only halfway done, shifting a little to shake the ache out of her legs. ]

Yuri...

[ She should be happy that he's okay, but... ]

You really are an idiot.

Maybe. I seem to get that a lot.

[He looks away, wondering how many times he'd get this speech.]

But that's all right.

[He'd just have to be a little more wary on curse days like this is all.]

[ She shakes her head, her voice uncharacteristically hard. ]

It's not alright. You really need to--you're always getting in trouble like this.

Edited 2010-05-20 21:48 (UTC)

I guess I'm just full of bad luck.

[He's a little wary, wondering why she seems so stern. Sure, he was a little reckless, but...]

But I get through it okay.

No, this--

[ Deep breath, Ino. Except the deep breath doesn't really clear her head so much as give her lungs more power. ]

This is not okay, Yuri. What if I'm not here next time? What if you manage to get yourself killed, huh?

[A look- calculating, wondering just what she was thinking and not really understanding. Was it that big of a deal?]

But you are here, and I didn't get killed. I can take care of myself that much, at least.

[ Of course he doesn't get it. She's just--what if he did get himself killed? Then he'd never be able to go home and-- ]

You can't take care of yourself very well. [ she shoots back, looking away from her work to level a glare at him. ]

How many times have I had to heal you up, huh? You're always doing this to me.

[He had a feeling that this wasn't an issue of giving or lack of gratitude. Her tone was too sharp-]

You say that like I get into these things on purpose.

[ Well, he was pretty much right. This was less about gratitude and more about the fact that she was worried to death about his stupid ass. ]

You might as well be! [ Is she starting to yell? Oops. ] It's not like you're doing anything to stop yourself from getting hurt all the time!

God, Yuri, I just--I never know if you're going to bleed all over my doorstep, or Flynn is going to call me up someday saying you're dead. I know it's like, dangerous and stuff with all these curses, but you need to be careful! Just think for once, will you?

Edited 2010-05-20 23:16 (UTC)

[ He raised an eyebrow, lips set in a firm frown. It was like having a second Flynn, and not in the entirely good sense. As much as he appreciated her concern, he never did like these sort of conversations. ]

What would being careful entail, exactly? I can't predict what's going to happen every time I walk out my door. Thanks for the concern, but I don't go around getting stabbed for fun.

[ She wasn't Flynn--she wasn't telling him to stop protecting his friends or trying to do the right thing. She just wanted him to think.

...Which probably isn't coming through as well as it could've. Hey, she's pissed. ]

You said it yourself, Yuri. You provoked him.

Not with the intent of getting stabbed, you know.

[Crosses his arms, wondering why this conversation had to pop up all of a sudden]

[ Irritably smacks his arms away, because hey, she's still finishing up his wound. ]

Still. You just had to open your stupid mouth and now I have to clean up your mess.

[Knowing it was for the best, he removed his arms, getting impatient at the slowness, now.]

And shutting my mouth isn't going to prevent anything.

[ Alright, she's done. With the healing, not him.

She rises to her feet, hands on her hips, her stare hard. ]

It might! So might staying out of other people's business! Or not drawing your stupid sword at every opportunity! I swear to god, Yuri, you drive me crazy with this stuff. Can't you just spend one day without getting into trouble?

This may be a surprise, but sometimes I draw my sword to help people, you know?

[Now he crosses his arms again!]
