All right well here it is. I was kinda gone for a day or two so I didn't
get the chance to update Sorry. Ooc-ness, ho! And two words: Ryu,
torture. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! But remember it's only because Ryu is such a
gentlemen that this counts as torture. Yes, a bitterly failed attempt at
humor is this.

Kasumi and Ryu ran up the stairs as fast as their legs could carry them. They could still hear the footsteps but they weren't as loud as before.
They burst through the door on the roof of the apartment complex.
It was a good thing the buildings were close together because that was their only escape. They jumped from building to building. Soon they were not only jumping across the rooftops of Tokyo but they were dodging AND jumping at the same time. Ninja stars seemed to be appearing out of nowhere.
Kasumi had little trouble keeping up with Ryu. The dodging was somewhat of a pain, but this wasn't the first time she had scaled thousand feet heights.
She heard the air behind her move and she tilted her head just enough to keep one of the many stars from cutting her head open. It did, though, slice off her ribbon and it went fluttering to the ground. She cursed under her breath. That was the twentieth time that had happened. She was getting sick of having to find new ribbons every time she stopped moving.
She felt the air move again and a star zoomed past her side.
She didn't, though, move enough to keep the one close behind it from getting stuck in her side. She had just jumped off the edge of a building and when she landed on the next she fell to one knee. Kasumi winced as she touched her side. She yanked out the star and tried to get up but she ended up falling back to her knee.
Ryu had been watching her out of the corner of his eye. He turned his eyes ahead to jump off the edge of the building. When he turned his eyes back to her, she was gone. He spun and darted back to the other building. There she was, leaning on her knee clutching her side as blood flowed through her fingers. In front of her lay a bloody ninja star.
Ryu ran to her and scooped her up as fast as he could and by some miracle began running faster then he ever had before. He knew by the fact that the buildings were getting smaller that soon they would be out of the city. Soon he could see the forest ahead. He jumped off the last building and onto the ground. If he could get to the forest he would be home free.
He darted from side to side avoiding the stars. Almost there... he felt a sharp pain run through is shoulder just barely missing Kasumi's head. A strand of hair flew up to Ryu's neck and past his shoulder giving him Goosebumps.
Kasumi was still awake. She groaned. Her side hurt, she had a headache, a ninja star had nearly cut her head open AGAIN, and the blur and bounce of Ryu's running made everything worse. The world began to blur even more, then everything faded to black.
Ryu felt Kasumi go limp in his arms and he looked down for a second startled. Her eyes were shut and her mouth slightly hung open. "Come on Kasumi. You've got to hold on."
Back in the city, a young man allowed a yellow ribbon float into the palm of his hand. How odd. He looked up to see what looked like a pair of feet disappear onto the building above. He blinked and they were gone. He looked down at the ribbon in his hand and frowned slightly. Something was happening. The winds had changed. He tucked the ribbon into is pocket and continued towards his friend Ankara's house, humming a little tune.
Ryu sprinted into the forest and kept on running. He darted from tree to tree, weaving through them. One minute he was traveling right the next, left. Soon the footsteps behind him began to fade but he didn't stop. He ran until the sun rose and lifted in the sky. By then, of course, he had slowed down and what he was doing could barely be called a run much less a sprint.
Finally Ryu pretty much collapsed onto the ground. But instead of tending to himself he pulled back the cloth that he had haphazardly placed over Kasumi's wound. It was still bleeding a little.
He took a roll of bandages out of the pack and...sat there for a moment. The wound was just above her hip. That was where her sash was to keep her outfit together. Then began a long stream of curses out of Ryu's mouth. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO DO???? Ryu, the cool, collected, quiet Ryu, almost had a panic attack.
This was the little girl he used to watch with his best friend! Her curves gave no sign that she was EVER a little girl. Not that he had noticed, but if he were to treat the wound properly he would have to...well...yea.
Ryu began to sweat as he rolled her over onto her stomach. She groaned and his eyes softened. Poor girl. As soon as he turned back to the task at hand, though, the sweat once again began to pour.
He untied the short sword and sat it off to the side. Then he began at the sash's knot. It was a simple knot and came undone easily. He began to unwrap it and his face became redder and redder every time he brought the sash around again. Finally it was all the way off. He set it off to the side. Crap, he thought, I have to take off her top, don't I? Ryu asked mentally. Yup, the little voice answered, that too.
Ryu winced and closed his eyes as he reached around Kasumi and began to pull off the upper part of her outfit. His face BLAZED when he felt his hand brush against something. Assuming the worst he pulled the top off as quickly as he possibly could, set it off to the side, and darted backwards, expecting Kasumi to wake up and deck him.
It was done. And he NEVER wanted to do it again. He slowly approached Kasumi again with his bandages in hand. Ryu examined the wound first It was slightly darkened around the edges and the blood was dried. He got into his pack and pulled out some herbs. He placed them on the wound. Ryu then wrapped the wound with care.
When the job was done he sat back sighed...then his breath caught. He was going to have to put EVERYTHING BACK ON.
This time it was all much easier. He kept his hands out of places they should not be and his eyes closed even though the whole time his face felt like a furnace.
When he was done he rolled her back over and placed a blanket over her. From what he could tell while dressing the wound, the ninja star's edge had been traced with a fine line of poison. It wasn't a horribly potent poison, but still deadly if not treated.
Ryu brushed his fingers against Kasumi's cheek and sighed. If he didn't get her help soon, he gave her three days.
He half-heartedly tended to his own wounds and rolled up his own blanket into a ball for a pillow. As soon as his head touched the makeshift pillow, he was out.
There ya go. Well, whad'ya think? I've given up on asking my older brother so... I need you guys to help me out here!! . Pweaze? I'm so very lazy. And so very paranoid. v.v
