Jund slowly started walking towards him. Snake had half a mind to turn and run out the door if it wasn't for Cry already being tied up in the house.

'See, Junior here can slaughter him for you. That leaves you to do only half the work.'

Snake grunted and slowly walked backwards, his eyes never leaving the knife.

"Jund? Jund, listen-"

Jund didn't listen, he ran forward. Snake turned on his heels to run towards the set of couches. Jund effectively chased Snake around the room until Snake gained enough clearance to get a couch between them.

"What's wrong? Aren't you supposed to be a tough guy?"

"Scott, I know this isn't you. Please just try to-"

Jund stepped on top of the couch with every intent to lunge at Snake, but Snake dashed to the side, running towards the kitchen.

'Get the knives, get the knives.'

For once, Snake listened to the voice. He grabbed the knife block from the counter and ran behind the kitchen table. Jund caught up and the two were at another standoff with the table between them. Jund raised the knife and for a wild moment, Snake thought he was going to throw it at him. Snake subconsciously gripped the knife block harder when Jund's arm came down and slammed the knife through the table.

Snake set the knife block on a chair and pushed the chair under the table. He watched as Jund stayed frozen for a few moments, his face twisted in pain. Snake stayed still, watching as Jund's breathing slowed to a stop. With a scream, Jund gripped his head and collapsed to the floor.

'What's wrong with him?' Snake just stared, not knowing what to do.

'He isn't very obedient. But don't worry, he'll fix it. And if he doesn't, we'll fix it ourselves.'

'What. . .'

Jund stopped screaming and laid limp on the floor. Snake cautiously walked over and knelt down next to the other man.

"Jund?"

"Snake?"

"Oh, thank god. Are you-"

Jund suddenly sat up, knocking Snake off balance. Chairs were tossed as Jund tried crawling under the table to reach the set of knives. Snake recovered and grabbed Jund's ankles, dragging him backwards and standing up at the same time. Jund rolled on to his back to show that he had already managed to grab a knife.

'Not this again.'

'You should totally just stab him.'

'You should totally just stop speaking.'

'Not speaking, thinking.'

While Snake was distracted, Jund stood up and re-gripped the knife. He just managed to grab Jund's wrist, stopping Jund from stabbing him in the chest. Snake overpowered Jund, slamming him down so he was pinned with his back to the table.

'You should stab him.'

Snake pinned both of Jund's arms down and ripped the knife out of his grip.

'I'm not stabbing him.'

Snake held the knife in one death grip, and Jund's wrists in another.

'Stab him.'

Snake did.

'What!'

The knife came down right into Jund's chest.

Snake stumbled back, watching with horror as blood spilled, dripping onto the table.

'No. . . no!'

Snake was dizzy as he brought hands up to his face to watch blood run between his fingers.

A flash of green.

Jund was struggling beneath him, refusing to let up his grip on the knife. Snake stumbled back, gripping onto a chair for balance.

'Aw, come on. I know you liked that.'

'Stop doing that. This is getting old.'

'No, it still seems pretty effective.'

And just like that, Snake and Jund were fighting again. This time, Jund suddenly had more strength and dragged them both back to the living room. Snake considered breaking the glass coffee table with Jund's body, but at the last second, Jund let go of them both.

Jund stepped backwards until he was able to put his full palm on the television screen. At first, there was just static, but Snake heard a distinct voice come from the speakers.

It was his own voice reciting O Captain! My Captain!

"Snake?" Jund asked quietly. Snake tore his eyes away from the static to look at the bruised man in front of him.

"Jund?" It actually sounded completely like Jund.

"Snake, I don't want to fight anymore. Do something. Please."

This time, when Snake walked forward, Jund started stepping backwards. Once again, Jund grabbed his head, almost doubling over in pain. With mercy, Snake quickly backed him up to a wall, pressing his forearm against Jund's neck, and held it there. He watched carefully as the light left Jund's eyes and he slumped forward. Snake let go before any permanent damaged could be done.

'That's a handy trick.'

'Be quiet please.'

The audio in the room suddenly shut out and Snake had just enough time to react when green static flew out at him. Despite him nearly knocking over a couch, a small spark managed to hit him.

'Damn.'

'Just wait and see.'

Ignoring the voice that now sounded a thousand times more like him, Snake walked over, and for the second time that day, carried his friend to a bedroom.

The spare bedroom was close to Cry's room. Snake made a mental note to get more bandages as he walked by that closed room. Snake silently thanked the lightweight of his friend as he opened the door and carried him the rest of the way to the bed. Boxes were strewn about and he had to clear the bed of all the new games Cry had recently bought.

Snake casually tossed Jund onto the bed and went about looking for something to tie him with incase he woke up early.

'Back corner, on the nightstand, there are zip ties for packaging laying there.'

'How did you know that?' He asked himself once he spotted them.

'I saw them on the way in'

Snake mumbled thanks out loud and went to tied Jund's wrists together and then used another tie to secure him to a vertical bar in the headboard. He covered him with the blanket, a bit apologetic for all the bruises on Jund.

Snake rummaged through some of the boxes before finding some bandaging and walked out, closing the door behind himself.

He made quick work fixing Cry up. The broken body hadn't moved an inch since Snake was last there. Snake decided it wouldn't make a difference and untied Cry's feet before finally leaving the room.

Snake slowly made his way back to the living room. The events of the day caught up to him as he collapsed down on the couch Cry had been resting on earlier. Snake pulled out his phone to check the time, but his phone was dead.

'Great.'

'It's 2am'

'Great.'

Snake rubbed his face, letting his leg fall off the side of the couch. A furry paw swiped at his leg.

"*Meow*"

"God damnit AK"

'Where is the dog? Is he ok?'

'Oh, now you are caring.' Snake thought sarcastically as AK hopped up on his chest demanding attention.

'Pets are one thing, the hosts are another. I am like you after all.'

'Bullshit.'

'According to Jund's memories, he let him out in the backyard so he should be fine.'

Snake didn't question it. He just closed his eyes wishing that everything that had happened were just a dream. The purring of the cat eventually lulled Snake to sleep.

Please Review =^-^= (Thank you so much for all the reviews it makes me excited and overly happy, almost to the point of bouncing.)

Sorry for any mistakes, I am constantly finding them, and thank you!

School is coming up so yaaaaaay stress. But at least the doctor told me to do more reading and writing because school is going to suck for me. My life is being held together by Entoanthepack, Dlive22891, Tomato Gaming, Seananners, Achievement Hunter and Taemin's teaser for Danger (just to add a bit of spice to my life. aka I don't think I can function without watching that 31 second video at least 100 times a day). I'm surprised people actually read my authors notes. After the second paragraph all I do is bitch and rant.
