HAYATE

"Dammit. Fuck you...FUCK YOU. FUUUUUCK. YOOOOUUUU. I HATE YOU. I--" Hayate choked and his throat smarted even more. By the time he was done coughing, his voice was gone and his screaming has been reduced to the empty mouthing of vulgarity. Giving up on trying to provoke the Hunter into paying more attention to him, he curled as best as he could into a tight ball, panting and trying to rub his disheveled and singed hair out of his eyes. The cold concrete outside the still-burning shop was rough on his wounds but felt both like hell and salvation at the same time, and he tried to budge his arms as little as possible: The metal was scraping against his newly-acquired burns.

He laughed to and at himself. What would the mad cat think if she ever saw him like this? Surely it was pathetic.

[Dawn]

A slight hint of amusement showed on Jadyen's face, "Look like you needed the help and no need to thank me, let's call it even and leave it there cause I probably should be arresting you on murder charges.."

Jayden glances at the burning crafts store and sighs, this meant more paper work and probably by now, one extremely pissed off Police Chief.. And too late to call in requesting for any assistance to put the flames out, the building was past being saved by now...

Feeling a hand on his shoulder, he looks at Makoto, "If you say you'll be fine than I can believe that. And sure, if you want."

He pauses, looking at Hayate who had been screaming some very inappropriate words before curling up into a little ball.

Jayden hurries to catch up with Makoto, the skull wasn't going anywhere at the moment..

[Straywolf]

Still poking at the burns on her neck, Makoto reached into her pocket, and turned off the alarm on the SUV. She popped the trunk open, and placed the unused bow and quiver inside it. Her MP7 got knocked into the burning building, and was probably beyond recovery.

She did her best to gently remove her tactical vest and jacket. The vest came off with ease, but the jacket rubbed all over her neck. She yelled in pain as she threw her jacket into the trunk, exposing the full damage Hayate did to her neck.

"Fuck, this hurts... Jayden. Come here. I got an ice pack for your face." She opened the first aid kit, and took out an ice pack and a bottle of medical gel, and tossed the bottle to Jayden. "Did you get burned? Rub that stuff on the burns. It should reduce the pain. Save some for me though..."

[Dawn]

Jayden catches the medical gel that Makoto tosses to him, his expression more grim seeing the full damage Hayate had done, "I don't think any of my burns are as serious as yours, might be best you use the gel first." he offers the bottle back to her and leans against the car. "Nice car. Didn't realize the hunters had that much spare cash to splurge out on these kind of things."

[Straywolf]

Makoto took the bottle back from Jayden and poured some of the gel onto her fingers. The burns started to feel cool as she gently massaged the gel on her neck, even though she grit her teeth while parts of her neck stung as she applied the medicine. She wasn't even trying to hide the fact she was in pain anymore.

"The car's not mine. I would've bought something nicer, but the government's paying us to do our job. Might as well use the money for equipment. She watched the smoke rise above the buildings. "Heh...ow. Looks like you've got more paperwork to do, Jayden. Also, just a response to that comment of yours earlier: I'm not going to 'pop the question' to you. I just needed to save your ass from that kid."

[Dawn]

"Please don't remind me. I just got done that other paperwork and now more. I better start just using my desk at the Station as a bed." Jayden chuckles before frowning, "Ah, wasn't really wanting that question popped anyway. I already living with one chick who's always PMSing.. I don't need another one."

[Straywolf]

"That's why I'm not a cop." Makoto shuffles around the bed of the trunk, checking her supplies. "...It's probably gone, but I left my gun back in front of the shop. I might as well look. Plus, we left our friend over there."

She took out her pistol from the holster on the tactical vest, and cocked it. "Don't worry. I'm not going to shoot him unless he tries to attack us again." She shuts the trunk, smiles at Jayden, and walks down the street again. "I'll try not to shoot any civilians this time."

[Dawn]

Jayden laughs, "And I couldn't do your job even for the benefits. I guess I better get Fiery up and haul his ass down to the Station." he shakes his head, "I doubt he will be attacking, he looks like he's regretting what he's done." Jayden pushes off the car, "Please don't shoot any civilians or the Chief will be using my guts for garters."

He walks over to Hayate and kneels down, grabbing under his armpit and tempting to haul Hayate to his feet, not in a rough way but gentle, figuring the poor kid has already suffered enough.

HAYATE

If his throat hadn't been parched, Hayate would have spat at the policeman's face. He groaned as the pull caused the metal to dig further into his burned hands, then shook his head violently in an attempt to get the long matted strands out of his face.

Snarling at Makoto, he dug his heels in: He'd show the Hunter he wasn't as soft as she thought.

[Dawn]

Jayden sighs, hearing the groan and seeing Hayate refusing to stand up, "Look dude, this isn't going to help you one bit in the long run. We have to get those burns attended to and I am sure you must be thirsty and hungry."

[Espy]

HAYATE

"I never said I wa--"

A loud rumbling growl interrupted him.

"...-s hungry. Erm." Distracted, he managed to be dragged a few paces forward before he tried to dig his heels in again.

[Dawn]

"I think your stomach answered that one," Jayden says in an amused tone, "And if you cooperate, you can pick what you want to eat. I can't have the Chief saying I abused you, kid, now can I?"

[Straywolf]

Makoto watched Jayden struggle to pick Hayate off the ground."So you're going to treat him to dinner just after he tried to burn us into the ground. That's cute." She flipped the safety on, and holstered her handgun. She walked towards the shop and looked around for her MP7, but found nothing except shrapnel.

She approached the Skull and the policeman. Hayate was giving her an attitude, which wasn't much of a surprise. She smiled back at him."It's not like you could do anything with those cuffs around your burned wrists." She sighed. ""I don't know if you want me around, Jayden. Your friends back at the station might not want to see me."

[Dawn]

"Oh, it's not a treat.. I rather make sure he was something to eat and drink cause he might not get anything for a few hours and that's if he lucky and not handed over to the hunters from the Station." Jayden replies, "And your making it sound like I'm in to guys or something by that comment, you know." He frowns at Hayate and lets him drop, "Fine, sulk kid." He turns to Makoto, "It's fine, I can't say I have friends at the Station but most of the officers there are quite hostile to Hunters."

HAYATE

Startled by the unexpected lack of pressure on his arm, Hayate tried to stop leaning back a split second too late and landed on his rear, hitting his tailbone hard on the concrete.

He moaned. Aaaand back to the fetal position.

[Straywolf]

Makoto shrugged. "Maybe you're into men and violent women. I wouldn't know."

She watched Hayate land on his rear end, and stared at him for a moment. I still wonder how an uncoordinated person can do so much damage. Whatever.

"I guess I can tag along for awhile. No one will really recognize me if I'm not wearing the jacket, anyways. If you don't have a car, I can give you, and our friend here, a ride."
