His mind had gone completely blank as if something inside him had snapped. It was on some sort of instinct that he’d pushed the girl away and pulled out his sword, holding it towards her throat. ‘Just slice and then it’s like nothing happened’ a voice in the back of his head roared. Iriya knew rage like a close friend, but this was like a full on love affair with it. His breathes were shallow and his teeth were grinding against one another; his eyes were stretched wide open and yet it was like he couldn’t even see. He looked more like a rabid dog than a human.
He eventually came to enough of his senses to not kill the horrified girl kneeling in front of him. He wanted to; he really wanted to. And he wished he’s done it earlier when he’d had the chance to avoid this whole ordeal. It was getting dark, though. And there was no way he could start a fire with a single functioning arm. He wasn’t showing it in any way, but the pain and throbbing of the wound had been increasing. Part of the reason his first attempt to get the clumsy girl off him failed so horribly was the sudden jolt of pain that came from having another person land on top of him. He wasn’t going to let her get away with this. But killing her right away at this point seemed too merciful.
He lowered his sword and walked away. He wouldn’t say anything for a while (not that he was capable of forming words understandable by any sane person). It wouldn’t have done anything. Judging by the look on her face, the girl was now as miserable as any person could possibly be. He’d let her begin to accept what had happened before he wasted his efforts on making it all worse.
She wonders if she could just sleep outside. Honestly debates on doing that, because she’d truly rather face whatever danger lurks out here than be anywhere near a confined space with that volatile blond. With Iriya gone Neya relaxes, if only for a moment, her hands drop to her sides, fingers curling in the dirt beneath her. How could such a thing happen, what deity did she piss off ? Why was it Iriya of all people, their enemy. A person Utsuho-san hated most!
Why couldn’t it had been Utsuho? Sure, it would be extremely embarrassing to even speak to him properly after while, but at least... at least they were friends! And he didn’t have an unfathomable hatred for her! Kissing her crush in this kind of situation would be much more suitable than a man like Iriya.
Well, its too late now she supposed. What’s done is done, she’d have to man up and face the consequences eventually. She and Iriya were stuck together after all. Slowly rising to her feet the teen claps her hands to brush the dirt off her palms, then the bends down to brush it off her knees. Once suitably clean Neya turns in the direction where Iriya had stormed off. Steeling herself for the absolute worst she takes a breath and marches forward ready to take on whatever insults the blond would throw at her.
