Fifteenth Jump (Blazblue) Part 3

(For future note. If something is only for the audience, the other jumpers can see what is happening. Only Tadek and the like can’t see, but everyone else can. Feel free to comment on Yankaka’s antics. For one, if they are directed toward her, she shall be the one to reply. Also any detail involving blood/violence is being kept to a minimum as to not possibly horrify the readers.)

A Normal, Uninteresting Day

            For a fighting universe, this place was quite dull in the long run. I woke up in Bang’s home, spent the first hour of breakfast sitting out on the back porch where I could quietly watch the coy pond while I ate. It was surprisingly relaxing for a universe where people fight more often than not. It mattered not in the end.

            After breakfast I went for a walk through the park section, stopping at one point to join this NOL agent who appeared to be on break and speak with them for a while. She was nice enough, even suggested to me a nice, little restaurant that they frequented. Once her break was close to over, I told her to have a wonderful day and went on my way once more.

            I did visit that restaurant around mid-day, spoke with the waitress and, on the way out I ran into that NOL agent who, after catching sight of me, suddenly froze up for a moment. “Ah, evening. You were right… They do make good food.” As I spoke, she appeared to be slowly stepping away and then ran off yelling something about needing to do something. I think that I saw bandages on her arms, but that was probably nothing.

            Later that night, I ran into Yankaka… Weird considering she usually found me by eleven each day, but that was unimportant. I simply took her off to get some food and spend some daily time with her for the moment. That Kaka did eat a whole lot more than usual, but… Eh. She did show me this nicely carved piece of wood with an image of me, which was quite nice, but otherwise it was a very dull day.

---------------------------

            Yankaka had stayed up all night working on her plans, writing them down on a few pieces of paper that she slipped into the inside of her jacket so that she wouldn’t forget. She had work to do… If she got rid of the competition, Tadek would see her as more than a friend! “Kind Guy will be sad. Yan stay out of sight… Watch him to find the competition. Yan find him after competition is lessened. Kind Guy will be happy again with me, nya.”

            She giggled whole-heartedly to herself, her paw-sleeves reaching out to pick up the wooden carving and held it close to her chest. “He keep Yan safe. He keep me happy.” She stated before slipping the carving into the left side of her jacket, right where her heart was before she headed out.

            It took Yankaka much too long to find him, but not only did she find Kind Guy, but she found where he was staying! Oh, she was even closer to him now. “Yan pay him a visit? No. Yan must resist. Yankaka must focus, nya.” She told herself, hanging off the side of the wall to try and stay hidden, simply surprised that he didn’t take notice of her.

            The Kaka followed him from place to place, staying a full fifty feet away from the man who had won her little, kitty heart with a… really, it was a very small amount of effort. He had honestly just been a decent person and helped her and her family/friends whenever she asked. There was something about him that drew the Kaka, though… Something special. She had yet to see him fight seriously, but she just knew that he could keep her safe, happy, and fed.

            “He talk to so many… How will Yan know who her competition is, nya? Yan can’t find my competition if-“ Yankaka’s stomach growled, forcing a discomforting whine come from her. She was just about to allow herself to go to the snack kiosk that the park possessed, but she stopped herself once she realized that her beloved Kind Guy sat down next to another woman. Oh, she could be it!

            Instead of succumbing to her need for food, the feline woman followed along after the woman who had obviously been trying to keep Tadek away from her. They had spoken for an hour, she was obviously one of the four! Being the smart predator she was, Yankaka had positioned herself in an alleyway that was along the agent’s path. When the tart came walking by, the Kaka pounced and forced her to ground before dragging her further into the alley way with those sickle-claws held up for all to be seen.

            “Hi! Nyou in Yankaka’s way.” She stated with a wide, toothy grin, one of her shoes coming down to pin the agent’s jaw down to the concrete instead of allowing her to speak. As for her free hands, they were pinned down by those sickle-shaped claws, sinking in and tearing through muscle to keep her still. Blood was easy to clean up and this agent seemed to be quite new, so little experience. “Competition stay away from Kind Guy… Kind Guy mine.”

            The agent didn’t seem to know who the Kaka was talking about, so instead of losing her temper, something she was sure that Tadek would not approve of, she flicked her wrists, turning her claws to the side before tearing them on out of the woman’s arms. “Kind Guy wear coat. Nyou no touch Kind Guy. Yankaka find Kind Guy… Yankaka hungry.” She stated to herself. All things considered, Yankaka was apparently very bad at committing crimes… and the agent was fresh from the academy from the looks of it. That and the Kaka did get the jump on her, something that Yan was quite proud of.

            With one out of four taken care of, the feline leaped up to grab onto a ledge and skitter away, moving off to search for wherever Tadek happened to run off to. She did eventually find him, just as the agent ran off in another direction. That caused Yan’s cheerful smile to lower, her eyes following that agent as she ran off. “Yankaka find competition… Competition doesn’t listen, nya.”

            However, that will have to wait. She was hungry and Kind Guy was right there! She knew that he would be more than pleased to see her and she could even show him the carving she made of him that she now kept close to her heart! Yan was sure that he would love it! The Kaka hopped down to join him and batted at his arm, the Kind Guy simply greeting her and already offering her food, which she happily agreed to.

            While they couldn’t spend too much time together, she now knew where he stayed… Given the chance, she watched through the screens or any cracks she happened to find in the walls of Tadek’s room, happily watching him sleep for the first half of the night, but she had more work to do. Competition to find… and to kill for not listening to Yan’s warnings.

            For now, though… For now, she watched him sleep, her smile softening as the thought of spending every night close to him passed through her mind. “Once the competition is gone, Yan and Kind Guy can be together, nya. Kind Guy keep Yan safe… Yan keep Kind Guy happy…” She whispered to herself before turning and leaping up over the wall so that she could resume the hunt for that NOL wench.
