Notes: Part 2, as requested Nekonotaishou. Hope it's not too OOC. Neuro's a hard one.
Please let me know what you think! \(^-^)/
How dare the worm.
Leaving her doting master to starve to death.
I was even willing to give her a thirty second grace period.
…
Maybe twenty seconds.
.
*ringRING*
"N-Neuro?"
Odd. It was Yako's voice, but not Yako's number.
"Yako you pathetic worm, you're even later then usually and you dare call me instead of putting all of your energy into running?"
"I've been kidnapped."
She said it like it explained everything.
"That's no excuse for tardiness."
"Neuro!"
The muskrat went on like it was my problem.
Though, I suppose if I wanted to eat today, I would have to do something or another. Yako would take hours to free herself. The snail.
"There had better be a mystery involved."

.
I quickly tracked where the signal had been coming from, but when I arrived Yako was nowhere to be seen.
Not only did the amoeba expect me to rescue her, she expected me to chase her.
I was very annoyed at this point. Working on an empty stomach had made me grouchy as it was, let alone now I had to work to find my meal ticket.
Thankfully, someone had been kind enough to leave tire tracks. Not to mention Yako gives off a rather strong odor.
I smiled a toothy grin.
At least I wouldn't have to work too hard to get my meal ticket back.
.
Finding the van was simple enough-it was the one I could hear Yako's voice coming from.
Loud. As always.
.
I waited until they turned down a deserted street, and then jumped down on the engine block of the car.
I may have jumped a bit too hard, because the dent I left went all the way down to the pavement.
Either way it did the job; the car lurched to a stop.
Instantly I jumped onto the roof of the car. The driver didn't even see what had hit him.
I could also smell Yako's blood-faint, but there.
Digging my claws into the edge of the roof of the van, I tore off the side.
.
One man in the back. Rightly frightened, and waving a gun around.
He said something or another, but my focus was on Yako. She seemed uninjured.
How unfortunate for her.
"How dare you make me look for you slug."
"Ne-Neuro!"
Yako looked a little to my left.
"Worms for brains, I'm right in front of you."
Yako was shaking slightly, and reached out towards my right. A bruise was forming on her shoulder.
Something was definitely wrong.
"Idiot. Here."
I grabbed her head with a crushing grip.
When she finally turned to look at me, her eyes were unfocused and non-seeing.
She really couldn't see me.
"Yako-"
-bangBANGbangBANG-
.
Four bullets were emptied into me.
I had forgotten the man with the gun.
Yako jumped and grabbed onto my coat. She also started shaking again.
*Cheh*
I turned towards the one who had not only deprived me of my meal today; he may have made it impossible for me to have a meal for some time.
First things first though.
With Yako not being able to see, she was more a hindrance then anything.
I also had another reason to get Yako away from there as soon as I could.
I jumped out of the van and about 100 yards away.
I could see the driver getting out of the passenger door [the driver side's door was smashed shut] and the man with the gun stumble out of the side I had ripped off.
.
And then the car exploded.
.
Three pieces of shrapnel flew past me, and the two men were hurled away from the car.
They weren't dead.
And I was in a very bad mood by this time.
How unfortunate for them.
I started to head towards what was left of the burning van, but Yako wouldn't let go.
"Neuro? Wh-what happened?"
Her grip tightened.
"Is there a fire?"
Of course.
She couldn't see.
However she must feel the heat of the flames.
"The van blew up."
"Are the men ok?"
Typical of Yako; the bleeding heart would worry about her capturers.
"They're alive at the present."
"And you? You got shot. I can feel and smell the blood."
Ah. I had forgotten to hide that fact.
"Am I so fragile as to die by a simple gun? You insult your master."
Yako let out a little sigh of relief.
It was good to hear. She had been thoroughly shaken up by this incident, and I didn't need her to go off the deep end right now.
"Stay here."
I took her hand off my jacket.
"Wai-wait! Ne-Neuro!"
.
She was shaking again. Crap.
.
"Wait patiently slave. I have some annoyances to take care of."
Yako felt around until her hand rested on the wall of a nearby building.
"You'll b-be right back?"
"Of course. I can't allow my meal ticket to wander off and get herself killed."
Yako leaned heavily against the wall as I headed towards the men who were just starting to come to.
.
Did I mention I was in a very bad mood?
End Notes: One and a half more chapters to go [that I know what's going to happen anyway]. (_)
