12 - Mutual Love

[Izaya's sitting against the Mansion's front doors, and most noticeably he's switched out his trademark jacket for one much less obvious. He doesn't seem too concerned with anything at the moment and he very much takes his time in fishing out his communicator and switching it on.

It's in video ~~for greater chance of seeing your face~~.]

So.

Anyone know how long it's been since this started?

[OOC: Forward-dated for Tuesday, November 1st ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[laskdfjdsf Yuu gets one of those knives in the arm as he's trying to get that pry bar back and yeah. Looks like it'll be the stairs after all.]

[Excellent choice, Yuu. Izaya's not far behind him, though his path deviates a little.

You know. When he decides to run up the stair railing, jump up to the top bar and swing himself up the the first floor.]

[omfg Izaya, you are a beast.

Yuu stops two-thirds of the way up the flight, then backs down a couple steps.]

[Now above him, Izaya skips down the first few steps.]

Careful, Aikawa~! You might fall.

[Yuu keeps retreating and takes a deep breath.]

Why...why do you want to kill me?

I don't get anything for that great show I put on? [Izaya oh so casually decides he's going to sit on the railing now.]

But I guess the real answer is that I want to know what you look like when you die!

[Yuu just can't wrap his mind around whether or not that sentiment is totally event-induced or not. Not right now anyway. He's too busy sprinting back down the stairs now.]

[Izaya throws a stray knife, a potshot, at Yuu which embeds itself in the far wall before giving chase by sliding down the railing and jumping the rest of the way.]

Heyy~! Not good enough?

[Yuu nearly falls on his face at the bottom of the stairs, but keeps running, going back to where he dropped the stupid pry bar.]

[Izaya's leaning against the railing at the base of the stairs. Yuu's going to have to go somewhere eventually, and at that time, he'll chase him.]

So, are you gonna kill me?

N-no... [He has no idea what he's going to do. He's a little more confident now that he's got his weapon back, though.]

Then...why are you bothering to get something to defend yourself with? [He's fishing another throwing knife out from his sleeve.]

...Killing and fighting aren't the same thing.

[Izaya pauses, tilting his head slightly, and looks at Yuu.

He finally laughs.] That's just it, Aikawa! Yes, good job! I'm not going to fight you, I am going to kill you.

[He says this in tandem with flinging the knife towards him.]

[The only way he seems to know how to dodge that is to fall over, so excuse Yuu while he gets better acquainted with the floor.

...

......

Okay, now he's scrambling back to his feet to run like hell.]

[Izaya's chasing him in a heartbeat. C'mere, Yuu. Just let the man grab your hoodie already~!]

[Oh shit oh shit oh shfsdkljghg

The noise he makes when Izaya manages that is very surprised and kind of undignified. He lashes out with the pry bar immediately.]

[Izaya looks like he ducks a second to late and takes the hit solidly. He's on the ground and not moving.

Do you inspect that? Flip to page 9 for no, or 44 for yes.]

[....Okay, page 44, don't fail me.

Yuu should know better, but he still crouches beside Izaya to check if he's, you know, alive.]

[Way to see the glass half full, Yuu.

Izaya, in the meantime, is most definitely alive as the second Yuu's in crouched range, he drives his knife into the back of the kid's leg.]

Shit--

[Of course Yuu's first instinct isn't to slam the pry bar down on Izaya's head. It's to fall on his ass and start to scoot away on the floor.]

Actually, who knows how you survived that first time~ [What do you do when you're trying to stab at the person scooting away? Easy. Like the answer to almost everything else, you try to stab them.]
