There had better be a good reason why I'm fighting- [ A grunt is followed by the sound of flesh being punctured. ]- against these blood-thirsty... things and why I'm not in Konoha.

[ Ino is not very happy. Or informed, actually, because she left as soon as she came to. ]

Comments

(and suddenly I miss the icon I had for this pfft)

[inthejunk]

[Huh? Something's making noise at him. Yosuke slaps at his NV and grunts. A shaggy haired, sleep-dazed kid squints back at you.]

Hmm?

well fine she'll video back at you

[blondejokes]

You responded to my post last night on the network.

shut up buttons are hard in the morning

[inthejunk]

[Oh. A girl. Yosuke smiles lazily at her before he realizes that she can see him too, and that he looks ruffled and lazy. Crap! He sits up and runs a hand threw his hair, not that it does much. He tries to clear some of the morning husk out of his throat.]

Oh! Right...you lived. Good.

ffff

[blondejokes]

[ LMAO ]

Uh-huh. Shikamaru helped me out. [ Because he's the best teammate, ayup. ]

*through not threw derp

[inthejunk]

I know how that is.

[and he's not surprised to hear her use Shika's name. Yosuke yawns a little, and gives her a curious look.]

You grew up together, right?

words man words

[blondejokes]

Yeah. How did you know?

boohiss

[inthejunk]

You come from the same place.

[Shrug.]

[blondejokes]

Oh, so you're close with him? [ Assuming Shikamaru doesn't go around telling everyone about this place. ]

[inthejunk]

[That's an understatement and a half. The question, though, makes Yosuke oddly uncomfortable. He settles with an answer that's the truth from one angle, even if it's technically a lie. Shika's taught him well.]

We've been friends for a long time.

[blondejokes]

Yeah? [ Good because Ino needs dirt on his girlfriend like ASAP. ]

What's his girlfriend like?

[inthejunk]

[Blink. Yosuke actually snorts, before he catches himself, and turns it into a cough. Boy, is this girl asking the wrong question to the wrong guy. He definitely can't tell her the truth about that.]

Oh, so it's like that? He is pretty strong, I guess.

[blondejokes]

We aren't really known for that on Team 10.

But he was pretty tight-lipped last night about the subject. But a close friend of his should know all the juicy details, yeah?

[inthejunk]

[That's not unexpected either. Yosuke's heard Shika confess enough times that he wasn't such a great soldier, it doesn't even get a blink. Just a nod.]

He's a pretty private guy, huh?

[blondejokes]

You'd know him better now than I would. Four years can change a person. [ Let's...just...butter him up and then get the information. ]

So... what's her name?

[inthejunk]

He didn't used to be?

[Now that's intriguing.]

Hmm, when is your birthday?

[blondejokes]

He is, but he doesn't have that many secrets he can keep from me. Or ... did. Four years ago, anyway.

The day after his. [ She's onto you boy. ] Why are you changing the subject?

[inthejunk]

Yeah, people do change.

[He's only diverting the subject. You'll see.]

Refresh my memory? It's early for me.

[blondejokes]

Once you tell me her name.

[inthejunk]

Hmm, I'm having trouble remembering that, too...

[blondejokes]

September 23rd.

Does that refresh your memory?

[inthejunk]

It's clearing the haze a little, I think. Something that starts with an い I think.

[blondejokes]

Well, let's try something easier then- is she cute?

[inthejunk]

[Finally, an easy one. Like anyone would ever find Uryuu cute. Eugh.]

Not even in your league.

[blondejokes]

Jeez, I didn't think Shikamaru was serious when he said he didn't want a girl that was too pretty.

What color is her hair?

[inthejunk]

Pretty doesn't seem to be his tastes. [Which smarts a bit to admit, but hey. Maybe it'll make her feel better.] It's black.
