[Itena]

ooc: I'm actually a veteran wolf roleplayer, and I've really been wanting to rp MKR for a while. I may have a different roleplaying style than everyone else, so please bear with me.

Also, I'm not too sure of the rules here; so if you find an error, please correct me.

(based on an idea for a fanfiction I have ;P)


Tall gray buildings seemed to ascend forever to the heavens in the gray city that was Tokyo. The few trees that were there did little to help from receiving the constant exposure to the strong UV rays; which seemed to come in violent waves of heat, despite the fact that it was morning; slowing everyone down considerably.

Hikaru Shidou walked slowly towards her school; a grim look on her face as she remembered once again her recent test score that she had received the other day.

"59%..."

She had never received such an incredibly low mark, and it wasn't like she got a hundred percent on everything; but she always was a hard-working student. Hikaru didn't get why her mark had dropped so bad. Of course; there was the fact that her second great mission in Cephiro made her forget everything she had studied. This was a problem.

As she walked slowly towards the middle school; her negative thoughts swirling through her mind, a familiar warning chill suddenly raced throughout Hikaru's body. Without thinking, her body jumped high in the air, did a forward flip, then landed gracefully a few meters forward on the pavement; a cloud of dust and pebbles accompanying a sliding sound of Hikaru skidding to a stop. Eyes wide with adrenaline and surprise, she looked at disbelief at what was in front of her.

A great monster, in the flesh, was standing before her; a growl being emitted from deep in it's stomach.

[Shiidou Hikaru]

Umi immediately stepped aside to allow the EMT's to do their work. It took all that she had not to break down in tears as they wrapped Hikaru up for a ride on a stretcher. When they had asked her about the circumstances, Umi told them that Hikaru had been victim of a hit and run accident that had happened in the street right outside of Umi's house. At first Hikaru didn't seem to be badly injured Umi told them, but that must have been due to Hikaru's strong will and spirit. The real extent of her injuries soon became apparent and thus an emergency call was made. Hikaru's grave condition had Umi very worried, but the fact that she was now in the hands of medical experts brought some form of relief for Umi. "Things will be okay now Hikaru." she thought to herself in reassurance as the EMT's carried Hikaru downstairs and out to the ambulance on the stretcher.

When Umi asked if she could come along for the ride, the EMT's allowed her to come. They were a bit dismayed that Umi wasn't related to their patient since some form of consent from family would be needed to perform medical procedures now that Hikaru was unconscious. However Umi was able to help them with that after all. Once everyone was inside and the ambulance began to drive away to the hospital, Umi called the Shiidou residence on her cel phone. It rang for a long time and Umi realized that Satoru was probably conducting lessons in the dojo and might be upset at the interruption. However, Umi knew that there wasn't any way to avoid it in this case since Hikaru's other brothers were in school at this time of the day. Eventually the phone was answered by Hikaru's oldest brother Satoru.

"Hello, Satoru, this is Umi Ryuuzaki"

They knew each other rather well, so there wasn't much formality to their conversation. After a pause

"I'm sorry to bother your Satoru, I know that you're busy, but there's been an accident ..."

Another pause (OOC: we're only hearing one side of the conversation)

"It's ... it's Hikaru." and Umi's composure started to melt. She winced visibly as she continued "She's been hurt very badly."

The voice in Umi's cel phone started to get frantic with the revelation of the bad news, but all Umi could do is bite her lower lip as she listened to Satoru's concerns. Ever since the death of her parents, Hikaru's oldest brother Satoru had taken over their family's dojo and was also Hikaru's guardian. He was always very fatherly towards Hikaru so Umi knew that he would take all of this very seriously. Umi did her best to try to calm Satoru.

"I'm with Hikaru now and I'm really worried too Satoru. We're on our way to Tokyo General Hospital, please come as soon as you can and meet me there. I can explain more when you arrive."

There was another pause as he agreed and the two of them said goodbye to each other. Umi's heart sank after the call was finished. She felt horrible having to announce such dreadful news to Hikaru's family. Hikaru's brothers were always so affectionate with her and Umi often found herself a little jealous of how close Hikaru and her siblings were. Umi had no siblings of her own but her close friendships with Hikaru and Fuu had made her close with their families too which included sharing the pain of this tragedy.
