topoftheclassKeiko was getting out of the pool when it happened. Her friends still swimming start choking their bodies turning gross shades of purple. Yusuke manages to pull himself halfway out of the pool and reaches for her. Scared more than anything else she presses back against the wall. Seeing for the first time a small humanoid creature pressed against his back. The creature grins at her and seems to start sinking into his skin. He moans in agony and she runs for the locker room.
Once inside she searches for a place to hide. Picking a shower stall she crouches down in the corner hoping that whatever they are they’ll just leave her alone. The door slams open and wheezing echoes off the ceramic tiled walls. The girl pulls her legs tight to her chest and tries to manage her breathing.
In the end, it doesn’t seem to matter as the curtain is ripped aside. Before her stands the very boy that begged for her help. Screaming she dodges around his arms and runs, searching for a way out. He corners her against a marble counter and he grins proudly, like he’d just broke the record for the 200m Freestyle medley. Gripping the counter, her knuckles white from the force as she cowers hoping that this small amount of purchase will keep him from dragging her away.
The monster laughs and lunges for her and she kicks out at it and it catches one of her ankles in its slimmy grip and she watches in horror as her skin starts taking on that same purple color, the discoloration crawling up her calf as he reaches for her shoulder. She kicks at him again with her free leg and tries to wrench the other free, but doesn’t succeed.
Kurama and Cutie seem to come from nowhere tackling the monster. Her leg drops but her skin is still changing.
[Keiko wakes with a start. Her pokémon are hovering at the foot of her bed as they have each night since the nightmares began. She isn't amused and less so knowing she won't be going back to sleep anytime soon. Apparently her hopes were misplaced the other night.
Moments later two texts go out.]
This is becoming a repetitive question but, is anyone awake?
Anyone in Goldenrod awake and hungry? I'd be happy to make some snacks to help pass time.

How long have you been up?

Eh... Hasn't been too long, I don't think. You're makin' snacks? Want help? Shizuru's said I'm pretty bad at cookin' but I sure can help you eat 'em.

I'd be happy to have you help me eat them. Heavens knows I won't be able to eat everything that I make.

See you soon.

Date: 2013-11-01 01:59 am (UTC)Keiko, those smell great!!
[action!]
Date: 2013-11-02 10:30 pm (UTC)I'm glad you think so.
[She fills a plate with the cookies and hands it to Kuwabara with a smile.]
Enjoy. They're always best when warm.
