[center][b] Slapping Someone Clueless A collab between Lillydove and Gerontis[/b] [i]Summary:[/i] Yukara waits impatiently at Koikes hotel room door, confusing him about her motives for slapping him and expresses some concern for both participants in his match.[/center] [hider=The confrontation] Yukara stood in front of the Koikes hotel room with a very frustrated and disturbed expression on her face, arms crossed and foot tapping impatiently for him to show up. He better show up, or she will hunt him down and beat him up. [b]"Koike... Koike... that little HON!"[/b] Yukara growled under her breath. She was furious, why would he resort to poison? Why did he have to go that far for a stupid match? Entering the hotel, Koike only noticed then that he was pretty much soaked. Only glancing at his clothes, he shrugged. Searching his pockets for the key, Koike hadn't noticed Yukara until he had found the key of his room. He halted, wondering why she was looking like that and standing in front of his door. Not that he distrusted that she would try anything, Koike still felt a bit unsure what he should think of it. [b]''Hello.''[/b] He said, taking a step to his door, lifting up the keys as like he wanted to signal that he wanted to head into the room. [b]"There you are! Do you know how long I have been standing here? For half an hour!"[/b]Yukara snapped at him. In her frustration, she began using her hands to punctuate what she was saying and then decided that it was not enough. She raised her hand, then in the next second, she slapped him with audible smack across the face. [b]"You could have been killed in that poison! You could have killed him too! What were you thinking?"[/b] she demanded. Her eyes were narrowed and her fist were clenched, she wanted to hit him again. Saying that Koike was confused was an understatement. He looked surprised as even more confused at her. It was the reason that she could smack him, which surprised him even more. Taking a step back, Koike frowned. What was she saying? Killing himself or that Hyuuga? He wondered what the cause was that she was waiting for him like this and even slapping him. [b]''What? That poison wasn't made to be deadly. It is simple to make sure that an opponent can't continue fighting. If you didn't see it, I had a syringe with antidote. I am fine.''[/b] If that Hyuuga was fine, wasn't something that Koike could confirm. He had made a shadow clone who would provide an antidote for the poison, but other than that? Not his worries. She was still fuming, her fist still clenched and her anger still boiling. [b]"You should not have used poison at all, what if you could not provide an antidote for either? What if it was too much for either of you!? Do you really want to be responsible for killing someone in your own village?"[/b] Yukara asked, her tone was calm but it was forced. She also felt bad for hitting him, so she focused some chakra in her hand and brought to his face to make the area of contact not hurt so much. Due her having hit him before, Koike was cautious. Noticing that she moulded some visible chakra at her hand, he gained a hunch what she wanted to do, but she wouldn't like his answer. Though standing still, Koike didn't trust the situation, yet. [b]''Then that happens. It is normal for deaths to happen at Chuunin exams. They might be rare, but they aren't strange. That and I gave him a chance to give up.''[/b] He wasn't trying to defend himself as he didn't even know what the point was of the whole discussion. Soaked by the rain, he wanted to go in his room and take a shower, get dressed and rest out. [b]"So dont be the one to make it happen,"[/b] Yukara said, crossing her arms again. She was still mad at him and still felt the need to yell at him but not so much as before. [b]"Are you hurt anywhere? I can heal you, you know,"[/b] she said. Beginning to poke and prod him, searching him for any hidden injuries. [b]"Why are you soaking wet? You should know better than to go walking in the rain especially after the match,"[/b] she said, glaring at him. Sighing, Koike wasn't sure why she was suddenly like this. Had he said something wrong or done something that made her act like he had been in a situation where it was life and death? [b]''No. That Hyuuga didn't ever managed to hit me anywhere. And I took a walk.''[/b] A bit baffled that he hadn't try to walk past her to get into his room, Koike gestured to the door. [b]''If I may?''[/b] [b]"Well I suppose thats a good thing, at least you were not hit,"[/b] Yukara said, she knew that he probably wanted to get into his room so she was about to step aside. [b]"Next time, no poison or better yet, get promoted this time. But no poison, its too risky and I dont want to loose a team mate, ok?"[/b] she asked, frowning a bit before giving him a hug and stepping aside. Just when he was about to unlock the door, she hugged him. Frowning, he looked at her and wasn't sure what she was planning. Was or had she been genuinely worried or was there something else to it? Koike couldn't understand where this was all coming from and cleared his throat softly. [b]''I wasn't in danger. Don't worry about me.''[/b] Koike tried, hoping she would take his words as he even tried to say them in a polite manner. Holding a hand on the door handle, he felt a bit awkward. What was he supposed to do now? Hug her back? Try to say something comforting? Realizing that she had just hugged, she looked away and was blushing a bit. [b]"It is my job as the medical nin in training to worry about everyone, but you seem to have a disregard for your safety, so I have to worry. But.. still be careful, ok?"[/b] she asked. She smiled at him and then took a step away from the door that he was about to open. She gestured for him to go in, a very awkward expression lingering on her face. [b]"See you in training or tomorrow, whichever comes first. I have to go yell at Ezuri now, rest up,"[/b] she said and then took another step back. Noticing the blush, Koike grew even more clueless. What was even going on? He simply nodded at first. Trying to argue that he didn't had a disregard for his safety as he hadn't pushed himself to try to overwhelm the Hyuuga at close quarters, he decided it was for the best if he wouldn't argue back. [b]''Okay.''[/b] He first said, then hearing her say that she had to yell at Ezuri. Maybe they were friends or something and was that the reason why she was mad at him? For poisoning her friend? Opening the door, Koike took almost a step forward, before he would say something else. [b]''Thanks, Yukara.''[/b] With that having said, Koike would enter his room as closing the door behind him. Sighing, he was still confused on what had transpired. Deciding that worrying or pondering over it wouldn't help, he would for now not pay too much attention it. Though it had been a bit strange, yet not that bad. Or was it? Rubbing his chin, Koike shook his head lightly. No, thinking too much over it wasn't going to do him any good for now. [/hider]
