vier ❤ with my heart shivering in fear; i can see today's reflected in each past tear

Characters: Yuno Gasai and you.
Setting: All areas that have monsters.
Format: Starting with prose, but I'll match you.
Summary: Backdated to the end of the aging up event! Yuno decides to go on a rampage and starts offing some monsters. If you're not careful, you might end up being the one killed, too.
Warnings: Violence and gore; if anything more specific shows up, I'll edit this.

Today, the pinkette had decided that she was done being the toy of the Tower, done being used by people around her. Of course, she hadn't killed in quite some time, but she was annoyed with it all and had to get rid of this anger that was pent up inside of her.

Messing with her wasn't much - but she knew that the one she loved, Yukiteru Amano - was messed with as well; both mentally and physically. Even though she was fine with it at the time, being unaware of the situation, now she wanted to do something. Of course, she had already left the admins a message earlier, but she didn't care whether or not she would get an answer.

All she cared about was that he was safe.

And so she'll slice and dice, no matter what it is - whether it be you, a monster, or something entirely different.

He really didn't like what he saw on his Diary that morning. Almost immediately, he sprang out of bed and bolted through the Tower. He probably ran into various characters on the way there, but if he did, he didn't notice, didn't care, and didn't even apologize. He needed to find Yuno fast before she did something stupid.

The Diary said he could find her at Floor Six. Using its guidance, he was able to avoid notice from any monsters; a Dead End flag only came up once, and he was able to change it within minutes. Eventually, he spotted a familiar head of pink hair. Panting from the exhaustion, he came up next to her, his hands on his knees, out of breath.

"Y-Yuno..." he wheezed. "F-Found... found you."

"Yukki!"

The girl spun around, a huge grin on her face as she waved the knife as a means of saying 'hello', already covered with various things; blood, mud, and weird black gunk on it. It seems she's been busy. "Did you miss me? Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?"

She was an absolute mess. The last time he had seen her covered in that much gore... no, no, don't think about that, Yukiteru. "H-Hey Yuno." He tries to sound cordial, but it's clear he's both disgusted, and more than a little worried. And the fact that she's saying 'hello' with a knife doesn't help.

"I'm fine," he answered, finally catching his breath. "No, no, I was just... worried about you." And everyone who would have the misfortune to cross her path, but that goes unsaid. Best not risk making her lose it right now... he needed to calm her down, first.

"Why are you out here?" he asked. It wasn't as if he didn't already know. His Diary said as much.

"Just blowing off some steam," Yuno replied in a nonchalant voice, brushing her hair aside with her hand that was covered in blood, making a bright red streak in her hair. She could always wash it off earlier, and that wasn't important at the current moment.

In fact, it was the least of her concerns as she put the knife back into its proper place before fiddling with her dress uncomfortably, her eyes on his as she asks the question that's on her mind.

"But are you okay, Yukki?"

Blowing off steam... right. Never mind the fact that there were a million other ways she could be doing that, and he'd be able to help with that. Hey, it's better than her killing people. Apprehensiveness or not. But at least she's killing monsters right now instead of people, right? Right?

"I'm... I'm fine." He answers. "Why are you out here? If you really wanted to blow off steam..." He can think of several ways to do that that don't involve the risk of someone in the Tower being maimed or killed.

... and thankfully, she hasn't gone off looking for Akise. Hopefully he doesn't decide to show up right now.

"You don't have to worry about that."

The pinkette merely brushes it off, a huge grin on her lips as she speaks up, her voice almost seemingly innocent, even if there's more to it than that. "I'm okay, and you're okay, Yukki. That's all that matters." And really, that's all it meant. She didn't want to speak about it, especially since her actions aren't relevant to him.

She doesn't want him to get hurt. She doesn't.

"But I do..." Asking him not to worry about Yuno... ridiculous. Sure, he may not go on a homicidal rampage every time he thinks something might be even slightly wrong with her, but he still cared about her. He still loved her.

"Yuno, you know you can tell me anything, right?" he asked quietly. He had regained his composure from sprinting up several floors to find her, but seeing her like this didn't help. "Is something wrong? Did... you hear something about me?"

He knew her Diary wasn't working by now, which, after depending on it for so long to protect him, might have made Yuno panic to some degree. "I'm fine, okay? If I wasn't... you'd be the first to know."

"No, nothing like that."

It was true; she didn't hear anything about him recently, after all. But she did, however, do something important before he showed up. And he didn't know about it. Which was why she didn't tell him.

After all, if he wasn't there, he wouldn't be able to predict it. "And I'm fine, Yukki. You don't have to worry." And to confirm her words, she leaned in close, planting a kiss on his lips.

"Are you sure?" Yuno has lied to him before. Sure, it wasn't a malicious lie and it was mostly to keep him from giving into complete despair when it came to his parents, but it was a lie none the less. But in this case, he's choosing to trust her. He's not even getting his Diary out. He wants to believe that Yuno wouldn't hurt him again.

And honestly, even though Yuno is covered in monster blood and gore right now, the fact that she's kissing him makes him relax just a little bit. His eyes close and he returns the kiss... even if he's going to have to do laundry after this. Only Yuno can make blood and guts seem vaguely romantic.

"Of course." She wouldn't lie, not anymore. There was no reason to. Hiding information, on the other hand, was a whole other story. And besides, he didn't need to know.

Yukki frowned. He knows Yuno. Not even she decides to go cutting monsters up just for fun. Something is bothering her, but he doesn't want to believe that she's lying, or hiding something from him.

He wants to think this place is different.

"I believe you, okay?" he answers. He squeezes her hand after.

"I know," she replies, and she knows. Really, she does. Yet, she doesn't want to tell him. She just wants to protect him, and by keeping these things locked in her heart helps.

He squeezes her hand one more time, and lets go. "Do you promise you won't get killed out here, Yuno?"

"Mm." Yuno nods, an inhuman grin sliding across her lips. It's quite obvious that she doesn't plan on dying anytime soon, at least, not unless he tells her to. She'd do anything for him, after all. He's the only person she has left. "You have to promise, too."

He knows that grin. And it worries him. She's going to do something bad, something... evil. But at her prompt for him promising her, he has to. There's little he can do to stop her if she's so determined to do this, but he can promise her that.

"I do. I lost you once... I won't lose you again." He has to fight back tears. "I'll be waiting for you, okay Yuno? I love you."

I lost you once.

Those words make her remember the skull that she had obtained. But she pushed those thoughts aside as her smile becomes more gentle. "It's okay, Yukki. I'm here now. I love you, Yukki."

Yukiteru leaned in to kiss her again, despite the taste of sweat and the faint taste of blood. He'd gotten used to that over the course of the Survival Game, which was probably the only reason he hadn't gone insane in this Tower yet.

"I'll be waiting for you, okay?" he asked quietly, is voice meek and nearly broken.

Shion usually went through the tower expecting the worst, but he hadn't been expecting to be attacked by a pink haired girl.

Luckily his endless training with Reno hadn't counted for nothing, Shion dived out the way and stood up again after his roll. He hoped that attack was accidental, considering the dead monsters around. "Are you alright?"

There's a voice in the back of the girl's mind that wants to scream at him, ask him why the hell does he even care, but she refrains, instead shaking her head before giving an awkward smile, her voice completely and utterly calm.

"I'm fine." But as she says the next word, it's quite noticeable that her cherry tone is forced, her words coming out in a robotic-like monotone. "Really."

He frowns, knowing that she was lying. She doesn't sound fine, she doesn't look fine. "Are you hurt?"

A frown appears on her lips for a moment or two before she shakes her head, not saying a word. She's not hurt, not physically anyway. But mentally is another thing.

Shion peered at her, not sure whether she was telling the truth or not. "Good, I'm glad."

[Kyoko watches Yuno hack up the monsters her from the staircase for a few moments as she enters the floor, biting into a muffin. In her other hand is her spear; there were enough monsters to warrant her Puella Magi form. Not that she has any real interest in fighting them. There's no reward for fighting them, leaving it a waste of time of magic.]

You're wasting your time, y'know.

Edited 2013-01-31 04:01 (UTC)

And why is that?

[ Her voice sounds completely crazed, and it's obvious that she's showing signs of possibly attacking the red-head, her eyes wide in both fear and astonishment. She doesn't want to do anything just yet; especially since he isn't involved in the conversation.

... Yet. ]

[Kyoko narrows her eyes, almost inviting Yuno to try and attack her. She won't make the first move, but she's certainly not going to back down to some hysterical, possibly suicidal fool.]

Isn't it obvious? Even if you kill every single one of those things, they'll just gonna come right back. There's no reward for killing these things, so you're gonna waste all that energy for nothing.

It isn't for nothing.

[ She tightens her grip on the knife she's holding, her eyes glaring directly at the other girl's as she twists her foot several times. ]

[Kyoko takes another bite into her muffin, looking almost bored.]

What's all of this supposed to accomplish, then? Don't bother if it's something stupid like, "it's to protect the person I love!" They're more likely to get killed by your stupidity than anything here.

[Of course, she has no idea of knowing that Yuno actually has someone she wants to protect--or how deeply she wants to do so. Really, she's just taking shots to see what sticks.]

[ Yuno's already freaking out, and it's not because Kyoko's half right, but because she just pulled a crazy trigger. ]

It's not stupid.

[Jeeze. This girl sure is thick, but it's always like that. If you're not saying what they want to hear, people just completely tune you out.]

What would you call it then? Seriously, just what do you think you've accomplished here? Tell me.

Isn't it already obvious?

[ Her voice is cracking just a tinge, if only because she does not want to deal with all of this at all whatsoever. ]

Sure. I've already said what it obviously is, y'know, but if you just keep stubbornly insisting that there's more to it. So, if those reasons are so obvious, laying 'em out for me shouldn't be a problem, right?

He was roaming the outside floors. It was probably dangerous, but he felt like he needed air, real air.

He expected maybe one or two monsters. It was the middle of the day, after all, and they were fairly rare. But there seemed to be some kind of commotion attracting them on this floor, and that's when Enoch found himself confronted by something familiar, but grotesquely twisted - it rose out of the ground in an inky pool, one bulbous body and two flat heads, eight spindly limbs total. It reeled in pain as it made its way towards him, making that raspy little growling noise its kind did at home.

Like any Ramp at home, it paused as it raised its claw, and Enoch snapped out of the shock of seeing one and grabbed its wrist, whirling it for momentum and flinging it into the one that came up behind him, sending them off the edge of the staircase.

When had those arrived? What were they doing here? How could the tower twist something that was itself born of the definition of twisted, of wrongness?

These questions filled his head but were pushed to the back of his mind immediately when he saw what was causing the commotion that was drawing the monsters: A lone young woman, fighting off whatever came near. Despite his lack of usable weapon or armor, he rushed up the stairs and onto the island to help, undeterred by the cold wind on his bare chest and sandaled feet.

"Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

The girl immediately dismisses him, her eyes narrowing as she twirls the knife in her hand without making a single cut. "I'm not dead."
