Characters: Rhode Kamelot [stealsumbrellas] and Kanda Yuu [promisedlotus]
When: Backdated to June 20th.
Where: The foggy abandon of Nesreca.
Rating: PG-13 - R. There will be blood.
Summary: Rhode has played nice for a very long time. Kanda has taken advantage of her truce with Allen Walker. So she has finally decided that enough is enough -- and it's time for a lesson.

The moment the feed cut off, Rhode Kamelot opened her Doors -- and the moment she stepped into them, her skin was ash grey, her crown of thorns present, and her frilly pink umbrella clenched tightly in her right hand. Inside her world, it felt safe -- protected -- free from the staring eyes of every single damn Exorcist in Nesreca who wanted her dead.

No, it was time to end the staring and the constant leering.

The Doors opened silently -- and out of them, propelled four black and purple wax candles, each aiming for a different limb of Kanda Yuu's from behind.

"Watch your back~♥, he said," Rhode jeered as she stepped down onto the wet grass, opening her umbrella to shield her from the rain, her smile wide and unstable. "It's so funny ♥ I wish Lero were here, he would laugh ♥"

Comments

Kanda gave a pained grunt as he stumbled forward, careful of the candle at his throat. He took a moment to simply breathe before letting his eyes quickly scan what he could see of the ground. He'd kneel down to get a better look, but as he reached back to try and pull the candle out of his shoulder, he figured that Rhode would take that opportunity to pin him to the ground. Literally.

Still, despite his situation, he had to give a smirk at the comment. "You tempt me, Rhode."

"With what? Not even Lavi could do it. ♥"

Rhode was gone -- melted away into the fog -- and for the barest moment, it looked as if she had left. There was silence -- no footsteps, no giggling, no laughing to herself --

And then another candle shot towards Kanda's left leg, from the right, along with a snarl:

"None of you can."

Another pained grunt as the candle pierced his leg, and this time Kanda did kneel down. He yanked it out carefully, ignoring his bleeding leg and blood splashing onto the ground and got back onto his feet. He had to try and keep an eye out.

"That's Lavi." Oh, how he wanted Mugen right now.

"He's smarter than you."

And, suddenly, Rhode appeared before him, with a passive smile on her face. A hand shot out to grab Kanda by the hair, yanking him down to her level, a hand pressed to his chest.

She almost looked sympathetic to his plight.

"He wished me a happy birthday."

And she shoved it through his chest.

Kanda's eyes widened slightly as Rhode appeared before him, wincing slightly and glaring at her as he was pulled down. He didn't pay much attention to the hand on his chest.

And instantly regretted it.

Azure eyes widened as the hand went through, immediately followed by Kanda coughing up blood. Rhode, you had better move or he will get the blood right on your dress before moving to pull himself away.

The moment the blood hit Rhode's clothing, she felt a jolt of excitement. Her fingers itched for death -- it would be easy, to end it all, to sever his head and pin his esophagus to the ground --

But something made her fingers twitch and she yanked the candle back out with a growl of frustration.

"I want you to die," Rhode snarled, kicking him soundly in the knees, to attempt to bring him to the ground. "You deserve to die. It pisses me off that you're all allowed to live like you own this world when you don't."

Rhode sent another candle forward, and another, to Kanda's shoulders.

"You sicken me."

[beanstalk]

When Rhode pulled her hand away, Kanda coughed up more blood. It hurt to breathe, almost. The kick did nothing but bring dull pain to his knee before he was knocked down to the ground by the candles. He gave a pained groan, slowly moving to try and push himself back up.

He was stubborn; he wasn't going to give up so easily even though he was without Mugen.

"I...won't die."
