He fell to the ground, clutching his chest, not wanting to believe the wet warmth spreading through his fingers.
"Get up," Mai spat coldly, not seeing the damage she had done. The offending Amazoness Blowpiper hovered near her, eyes angry and red from the Orichalcos. Jounouchi shakily pulled himself up, surreptiuosly sliding his jacket closed so she wouldn't see. He didn't know if she would even care at this point, but it still made him feel weak for her to see him hurt.
"Nice shot," he managed to get out through the pain. The dart had hit him in the chest; he didn't have time to see how close to his heart. One would think he'd feel where exactly it struck, but his whole body was one big mass of dull pain. There was probably some kind of poison in the dart.
There was a flicker of guilt in the Amazoness's face, Jounouchi saw. It was a proud monster. Moreso than a Harpie, he could not imagine, but it must have been to feel guilty under the influence of the Orichalcos.
"Don't worry," He said out loud to it, not caring what Mai thought. "I'll help your master. I still owe her."
