Musa's House

[Musashi]

Musa scootled around till he was sitting on the edge of the table, lightly kicking his legs back and forth. "Oh, fine! I mean, a little sore, but I'm okay. It was just a check up, it's not a big deal. Everyone has to get check ups every so often, right?"

The kitty looked down and fiddled with the hem of the skirt. "Check ups are... perfectly normal. Mmhmm. Did you get yours? Are you okay? You know I worry about you."

[scarplo]

Scarp frowned. "... don't. "

The aged vagabond engulfed the rebuilt crossdressing ninja in a hug, and just shook his head. "Just don't."

[Musashi]

Musa gave a little 'Mew!' of surprise, but then snuggled into the hug. The kitty clung to the front of Scarp's shirt, looking up at him, fuzzy ears drooping slightly. "Don't what?"

[scarplo]

He sighed, swallowed, and smiled shakily. "Don't worry about me."

[Musashi]

Musa gave a pouty frown and GLOMPED onto Scarp. "I'm always gonna worry about you! Silly. And I'll do my best to take good care of you. As for me..." The catboy pulled himself up enough so that he could touch noses with Scarp. "This is all I need to feel better."

[scarplo]

Though Scarplo's beard hid it, and he would deny it vehemously until his dying days, his features blushed just a bit. "... thanks."

[Musashi]

The crossdressed catboy tightened his arms around Scarp's neck and drew himself even closer, pressing up against the vagabond in a wonderfully yaoilicious way because the typist enjoys torturing Scarplo IN THE CRUELEST WAYS IMAGINEABLE AHAHAHAHAHAHA~! Yesssssss. >:3

"So you don't think I'm a freak or anything? Scarpy, you're really the best..." Musa pressed his mouth to Scarp's and attempted to totally yaoi it up, but then Yukimaru burst into the room rather loudly.

"HEY, YOU GUYS ARE TAKING FOREV-... hey, am I interrupting something~?!" :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

The kittyninja was across the room in a flash, and in but a moment the dragon-winged bishi's throat was between his hands. As he shook and throttled Yuki, Musa shouted something about how Yuki was always ruining his life and so on and so forth. Hitaru sweatdropped profusely, and scootleskittered his way over to Scarplo.

"Back to the original reason you came here... do you think there is any way we could speak to Sca?"

[scarplo]

Scarplo stood stock still for a moment, just trying to process exactly what happened now, then looked Hitaru like he wasn't quite there.

"... I'm sorry, what?"

[Musashi]

"Sca. Can we speak to her? We were unable to contact her on the inside, so perhaps she can talk to us?"

Meanwhile, off to the side~ :D

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING?!" SLAM. "I WAS THIS F*@#*&^# CLOSE-" CRASHBONECRUNCH.

"But it was so-ow-funny! Don't take things so-" LOUDSOUNDEFFECTSOFDOOM. "-seriously! Hey hey, don't kick me there, I NEED THAT!"

[scarplo]

"You couldn't find her? What happened?"

Oddly enough no wincing at the booms, but a sigh. "... they're going to keep that going for a while, aren't they?"

[Musashi]

Hitaru glanced over his shoulder at the mini-war, then back to Scarplo. "Probably. They've always been like that. But they'll get tired eventually."

He ducked a flying jar full of something, which hit a wall and shattered, then continued, "As for what happened... well, when we entered, there was a sandstorm and we saw a large eye. Then I left to check on you, and had a bit of a confrontation with some shadows that insisted I was not real. After that was taken care of, you threw Yukimaru up. So we were never able to reach her."

[scarplo]

"Busy day. It will take some time for me to lead her out. Do you have some place I can meditate?"

[Musashi]

"You can use this room. We'll wait in the other room. I would rather not be too far away from you, considering what happened last time. I'll clear this place out..."

The gloomy reaper-bishi walked over to the still in MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAT Musa n' Yuki, and whacked them both upside the head with his scythe. With them now thoroughly knocked out, he grabbed Musa's tail and one of Yuki's wings, and dragged the two out into the next room. Then the door shut, leaving Scarp alone, finally with some peace and quiet. Just.. ignore the side of the room that looks like a war zone... >_>;

[scarplo]

Scarp sat in the debris, eyes closed. His focus turned from odd world he was in to the odder world within him. The churning sands, the whipping winds, the eye screaming judgments down upon the madness to force an order... there were many adventures just in the search for Sca.

But we do have a game to play, so lets just save that stuff for an omake and get back to the show.

After perhaps ten minutes, the vagabond's right arm went numb, and his posture straightened just a hair. His eyes opened languidly, and the old man rose with a tired smile.

His right arm hanging limp, he hobbled to the door and knocked quietly.

[Musashi]

A bit of quiet mumbling could be heard behind the door. After a few moments, Hitaru opened it. Musa and Yuki were seated behind him, the former re-dressed in his normal clothes and trying to straighten a slightly bent tail, and the latter nursing a bloody nose with some tissue.

"...So how'd it go?"
