r.a.p.e-- get the hell away from me!

["Parker!"]

[rahin only XXDDD -- love the title, right? ANYWAYS... convinient i have a doctor, right.]


Night shift. Again. The doctor had finished his rounds, and wandered his way over to the secretary desk. It was alot more comofortable then his own desk. Weird...

'We better get some action tonight... I'm bored.'

Daniel yawned mentally his voice echoing thoughout the doctor's mind. Dr. Greig hesitated, not answering, unsure what exactly what he ment by that.

[short, he's not going to be the main character in this. xD]


A red jeep roared up to the hospital- the only one in the parking lot. A cat sat in the drivers seat, unclipping his seatbelt as he got out. He looked over to Yuli and the girl who had squished in the front seat. There was no room in the back-- it was occupied by a unconcious male.

"Bring her inside- I'll be right there."

He pushed the seat foward and clambered in the back, getting a good grip on the male before dragging him out.

[raihnstar]

Rorr had popped the other door open and rushed inside the hospital, where helpful officials soon came out, and helped Gareth out with the unconcious man. Another nurse helped Yuli bring the girl into the hospital. After finding out that they knew nothing of the man, and Rorr had rattled off Hannah's parents phone number, the three of them sat in the waiting room. An attendant got Rorr if he needed medical assistance and he nodded. "We all do. Or...wait, I don't. They do." she corrected hastily, pulling her bangs over her eye hastily.

Rorr got up, "I'll go first." he said with conviction. The woman looked at Yuli for confirmation, and she shrugged. As soon as he'd gone ((to dr. greig's office, I imagine?)), Yuli sighed. "He's...always getting into trouble. I'm sorry you got dragged into this." she apollogized, and gave him a half smile, glad he was sitting on her right side. "At least we're out of that party..."

["Parker!"]

Garath sighed as he let go of the man and other assistants took him to a room. Good riddens. The cat only got a few scratches and a bloody nose, but he was good otherwise. He shook his head to an nurse that asked him if he needed to be checked. He wandered over sitting by Yuli.

"No problem. Yeah, I was getting sick of that party... My brothers and sisters are probably wondering where I am.....-- Acually, I doubt it."

He finished with a slight weak laugh. Yeah they were probably busy danceing or flirting or ... he hoped not drinking. He blinked looking around the hospital before he glanced to her face. There...there it was. Her eye? No- her bang... why was it so equaled with her eye? Was she covering it? He stared unconciously pondering the thought he had noticed before.

[raihnstar]

"Yeah, Janine...my older sister...she's 17, she's probably sucking face with whoever she's found tonight." Yuli laughed hollowly, and then shook her head, "No, I'm being unkind. She's...she's a lovely person, but um...she's going through a stage...I guess." It sounded unconvincing and Yuli chewed on her finger. "Well we've never gotten along the best." she said honestly, "Allthough we've had...some good times. Anyway you probably don't want to hear about it." He was looking at her face, now...no! Don't-- My eye!

"Oh that-- that reminds me, I'd better call da'." she said quickly, pulling her bangs down as she got up. When she got up to the receptionist she asked for the phone, and made the call quickly, "Oh hey Jamie...is um...is da' there? I need to-- yes...at a party... I know, it was...we're at the hos-- Rorr got-- there was-- Look I'll just call you um...later..." she hung up quickly, looking worse than she had when she'd begun. "THey uh...they worry." she said lamely, not attempting to clarify who exactly 'they' were.

Neil was quite infamous just about /everywhere/, and he'd ticked off quite a few people...made quite a few other people happy. Either way, she didn't like involving his name with her friends. Friends? Is he a friend? ...yeah. He's a friend. Besides Neil being famous for being the wandermage, there was Jamie...and she couldn't /ever/ quite explain what was going on /there/ correctly, due to her father never having...a solid relationship...

["Parker!"]

Garath smirked amusingly as the girl spoke about her sister. Yeah. Sounded the same with Ari. Ari... always... flirting. She was a bright, intellegent, happy girl-- why mess with stupid little boys?! He didn't see the use. He quickly adverted his eyes away as she noticed him starting. Eep. He felt kinda bad, but shrugged it off. No biggie. He listened in on the phone. Should he call dad? Nah. He wouldn't even bother. He smirked gently as she seemed quite worried herself,

"Yeah, they tend to do that alot. I'm not even going to bother calling my parents..."

He looked down at the ground for a momment, searching for something to ask--

"Are you going to go back to the party...or... do you and your bro want a ride home or somethin...?"

The cat's tail flicked gently humble eyes looking up at the standing Yuli.

[raihnstar]

"Oh I-- I wouldn't want to um...trouble you but..." she paused...it had taken them about twenty minutes to get here...in a /car/. That'd be about two hours walk. "I...it'd be nice... we walked to the party... and that was twenty minutes...uh...could you? I mean, would you? I wouldn't...oh well if you're offering, sure." she ended, feeling a little embarassed. Yuli sat down abruptly, "Are you sure you don't need to see a doctor? I'm sure I can get-- oh I know--" she ran up to the counter again, and shortly the nurse gave her some cotton swabs and some hydrogen peroxide with a wink (which flew over Yuli's head completely).

"Here, let me help you." she said, taking his arm, "It's going to sting, though." she added a short warning and opened the H2O2 bottle, pouring some on the cotton swabs before closing it again. With a firm grip on his arm she swabbed one of the cuts, knowing full well that sometimes cleaning the cut hurt worse than getting it. It sizzled a little, and foaming bubbles came out of the scrape. "We should have done this immediately...it wouldn't have hurt half as much..." she muttered apollogetically.

She paused for half a second and blinked. "Ohmygosh, I'm sorry, did you want to do this yourself? I'm so used to doing it for Rorr that I didn't think-- but you're an adult and-- oh I'm sorry!" Yuli pressed her bangs over her eye in an extremely embarassed fashion, "Rorr gets into scrapes all the time, and I just reacted like I would with him because you're so comfortable--" she paused, squeaked and covered her mouth, "Not that-- uhhh...I-- Here." she handed him the stuff and tucked her knees up to her chest, cluching them tightly and not looking at him. ...Wow. Way to ruin it, Yulia...

["Parker!"]

[xD buaha... xD-- the nurse winked at her? XD]


A gray ear flickered over to the side as Yuli started stumbling on her words. First she wasn't for it...then she was for it... all in all she accepted it. Yeah, the hospital and the party were pretty far from his house too. He was sure that Geo and the other's could drive themselves... Er... The cat then realised she was asking him if he was okay, he nodded even though she had jumped up and started to ask for something. He opened his mouth to protest- nothing came out. He closed his mouth, seeing that she already got the hydrogen peroxide(sp?) and some cotton balls. His eyes went flat, but he let her continue.

He really didn't notice anything weird about her helping him. She was just helping. Anyway's the pain wasn't too bad- sure it stung- but nothing to make him give any outward signs. He nodded agreeing with her- opening his mouth again to speak but she was already squeaking on about being...sorry? He looked at her with his mouth half open and she was obviously freaking out about her helping him. He looked at her oddly.

"Uh...uh okay..."

She...she was very strange. He trailed on before looking at the cotton swab and started to clean himself. Every now and then he'd take a glance at her-- she was obviously emmbaressed. He folded his ears back and stopped for a momment. A blank face appeared on him and for a momment he just sat there... What the...? He lifted a hand and reached over his shoulder to tuch the shoulder blade of his back. Wet... Wet?! He brought his hand back, his hands slightly a red color. Damn.it. He slipped off his shirt (revealing that nice muscled body) quickly turning it over and looking at the large blood stain. F.ucker! Garath hesitated then spoke to the girl beside him...

"I uh... Yuli.. I ...uh wouldn't happen to have a gash wound on my back....right?"

He turned his back to her, looking over his shoulder. There. Right on his shoulder blade you could see a thick short dark red line. The gray fur was already stained with blood. Why hadn't he noticed that the man had a knife? Now that he thought of it... it started to hurt.

[rawr to make things interesting...]

[raihnstar]

((XD The nurse thinks they're bf and gf))
Yuli gasped, "Ohmygosh! Ohmygosh why didn't you tell me!" she squeaked, grabbing the hydrogen peroxide from him and his shirt as well. She poured some over the shirt (the cotton balls were too small), and used it to clean the cut. It sizzled loudly and foamed, and looked very painful in general, "Oh oh oh! I'm so sorry I got you into this! I hope Rorr isn't hurt too badly--" she bit her lip, allthough her tone was worried her fingers ran across his back gently in an automatic reaction to his furr. They had three cats at home that Yuli took care of. Her hands smoothed his fur and she tried to get rid of the tenseness (unconciously) while she swabbed the cut again and again until it was clean. She stopped touching him (slightly embarassed at what she'd been doing) when she was done and got up, "I'll go get a bandage."

She got up and went to the counter again, asking for a bandage. The nurse winked at her again and whispered, "He's quite a catch, that one. Hang on to him." Yuli mumbled something about how they didn't know each other and she was just bandaging him before fleeing. Oookay. She wouldn't go near the counter again, that's for sure! "Umm, I... If it doesn't um...hurt too much could you lift your arms?" she asked, carefully avoiding his eyes and smoothing her bangs over her eye once again. She unwrapped the package and it crinkled as she opened the plastic and discarded it in the nearby pale. "So I can uh...get the bandage around...I don't want it to start bleeding again..." she muttered, glancing everywhere but at him.

Once he lifted his arms she unrolled it and bandaged himcarefully. It fit snuggly around him and wouldn't fall off because she'd looped around his chest a few times before she had finished. "Hah. I knew all that practice with Rorr would come in handy some day." she joked weakly, "Are you um...are you sure you're okay? I can probably uh get you some painkillers if it um, if it hurts too much..."

["Parker!"]

The cat's eyes widened-- wait-- he didn't know until-- Oh what was the use. He just needed help. It was only them and the nurse in the waiting room-- and it was obvious Yuli picked herself to take care of him. He flattened his ears at her, not mad, but dissapointed that she was apologizing so much. It wasn't her fault--he wanted to help. And he was the one that followed her up in the first place. He winced with a hiss as the hydrogen liquid bubbled on the cut- yikes- that stung! Although...although it felt good too-- no the sting. But her hand. Her fingernails gently running though the fur on his back- it relaxed him a litle. When she was finished he nodded, taking the slight pain to lift his arms, putting his hands on the back of his head. What was-- oh the bandage. He watched her cautiously as she moved closer to him (coming up right behind him) and wrapping the bandage around his chest. He gave her a smile turning around, noticeing the slight(big) height diffrence. Yeah, her brother did seem very...energenic. But pain killers? He shook his head with a slight laugh one hand rubbing the back of his neck.

"No, no don't uh bother. I'm fine. Your pretty..heh.. good at that..."

He gave her a friendly smile before sighing and glanceing up at the clock.

"Lets hope your brother's not too banged up..."

He mummbled to her, feeling almost bad that he hadn't noticed the pocketknife on the man, otherwise he could have told the kid to stay back...

[raihnstar]

"Oh...I uh...thanks." she muttered edgily, "Don't worry about him. He'll um, he'll be fine. He always bounces back. I um...don't know what's taking him so long he should be coming back soon..." she trailed off into an uncomfortable silence, and Rorr came out, frowning and arguing with one of the nurses. His head was bruised, and his arm was in a bandage that was stained red. "I want visiting rights. I brought her, and she's got no--"

"Visiting rights are reserved for family until a later date--"

"Fine." he said abruptly, but Yuli could see from here he'd decided to disregard the hospital. She'd probably have to watch him. "Good you're here. Gareth has um...volunteered to take us home." Yuli said with a light smile. Rorr raised an eyebrow, "Has he? I'd rather walk." Now she frowned, "Well that's too bad isn't it." And her voice was poisonous, "I'm going to the bathroom, and once I'm done we're leaving. I refuse to walke 24 city blocks to our house." she said, moving away from the pair and going into the bathroom.

Rorr stared after her, both eyebrows raised and sat down casually, "I hope you know she's too young for you." he said cheerfully, putting his hand in his pocket and taking out a toothpick. "You musta really done a number on her, though. I commend you for that." He whistled, "Don't think I've ever seen talk to a boy for more'n five minutes without hiding under a rock. So that--" he stretched and winced when he moved his arm the wrong way, "Ow. So that must mean she likes you, or your gay."

A snarky white toothed grinn made him look like an imp. "And frankly, you're not giving off gay vibes. Still. Fourteen. Just turned it last month." Okay so /that/ was a lie. But he didn't know that. And Rorr was rather skilled at lying anyway. It had actually been six months ago.

["Parker!"]

Garath nodded, flexing his shoulder muscles gently, trying to get them loosened up. He then stopped, looking up as the kid came out of the office. He wasn't too bad except for is arm. But then again it hadn't been much of a big fight, just a few cuts and whatnot. Garath rose from his chair as Yuli told Rorr that they were riding with him. The boy didn't seem to happy. Garath looked at him amused- this boy had a little spunk eh? He didn't seem related to Yuli at all. But then again, he'd never heard Yuli talk like that in his whole few hours of knowing her. He grinned gently watching Yuli go off...wow...that girl was strange. He kept an amused smile watching her leave as he heard the boy talk.

What? He raised a brow, c.ocking his head to look at the boy sitting down. Say what? He eye'd the boy critically. Huh...he didn't have any sort of feelling like that towards the girl. And what was this little snot telling him? Either she l-liked him...or he was-- gay?! What he f**k? He frowned opening this mouth to speak before the boy cut him off. d**n he hated getting cut off! But he listened nodding that he wasn't gay... and...and a month ago. Wow...she was kinda...young. He snorted, with a slight laugh his eyes looking down as he grabbed his car keys from his pocket twirling them on his finger,

"Don't worry kid, I'm not interested."

The cat's eyes flickered to the boy before he watched for Yuli to come out. Fourteen..eh?

[raihnstar]

Yuli had been on her way out of the bathroom, fixing her hair, and keeping a sharp ear on what was going on outside. So far all she could hear were mumblings. Finally she began to make her way outside.

"Just turned it last month."

"Don't worry kid, I'm not interested."

Yuli froze at the door, hidden from visibility. She took a few moments to collect herself. Okay. Who cares. Not me. Not me. I don't care... Rorr's right. He's too old for me, anyway. Besides I wasn't really interested either. Really. Not at all. Yuli took a deep breath and came out without looking at Garath or Rorr. But Rorr knew she'd been listening. He grinned, "Didja hear that Yuli? He ain't interested." he drawled. She turned and gave him a look of cold fury, "That would be isn't Rorr. I know you know how to speak correctly. Do so. Besides, I never expected him to be interested anyway."

Rorr froze, "No wait-- c'mon I didn't mean it like that-- Yuli plenty of people are interested in you, but this one is too old--" he protested, another death glare from her and his words died in his throat. "You know what? I've changed my mind. We're walking home. Thank you for offering the ride, Garath, but Rorr needs to learn a little lesson." Her eyes flicked to him, and she tried to get rid of the hurt expression on her face. Rorr got up and gave Garath a shrug, mouthed 'see ya', and followed Yuli towards the door. He left first. Yuli paused at the door and turned, "I'm sorry you got hurt. Maybe I'll see you later..." Another pause, she struggled to find the words to express what she felt, "You know, you could have at least bothered to say it in a lower voice. Not that I care...but I do have an ego."

Yuli turned away and opened the door. F.ucking hell, it's cold out! She whiped her eyes a little before Rorr could see and hurried to catch up with him. A little snowflake flew down from the sky...Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit. Snow. And she didn't have a sweater. And the wind. And twentyfour city blocks. And walking. She almost turned back to ask fro that ride again but she had too much pride. Rorr swore and she smacked him upside the head. "This is your fault!" she snapped, "And don't swear." B.astard.

((...he better go offer them a ride. It's /snowing/ out.))

["Parker!"]

The cat hadn't expected...her to be...oh s.hit. His face went blank as the boy called aloud saying that he wasn't interested! The little f.ucker! The cat turned almost snarling at the boy for being such an idiot and so rude-- he ...he hadn't ment it like... He watched Yuli approach. Awww, crap.

He stood in his place feeing...feeling terrible. He was just out to save his own a.ss! He didn't think... aghh! The male watched as Yuli became slight offended-- but obviously she was trying to hide. it. He tried to look okay, although he felt like an idiot. Stupid little Rorr... He watched Yuli with a concerned look as she denied his offer. Oh comon! He sneered at the boy as he passed him- stupid kid. He looked down at the ground, fiddling with his car keys before his eyes flickered up at Yuli's apology and...and... He felt like a jerk. But was he? He was just trying to save himself from acually saying he was interested in the girl. But he wasn't! Was he? Of course not- she was fourteen. Just...two...years. Damnit Garath. She was gone by the the time he came back to reality.

The boy heard a 'tsk tsk' from the nurse as he glanced over to her and sneered before jogging out. They were walking down... He glanced at his phone clock before growling, his ears flat. He... he couldn't just let them go. What if something happened? The streets were not safe this late. He jogged out to his car, hating the weather right now. He jumped in his jeep, roaring the engine before pulling out and raceing after the two.

He slowed down as he came beside them on the road. One hand was on the wheel, the other hanging out of the window. He was inching along beside them as they were walking,

"Agh, comon...Yuli... please...get in the car?"

He felt bad. Real bad. He gave an apologetic look, his face desperate. He couldn't just let them walk... in the snow if anything!!

[raihnstar]

"Oh no, I wouldn't want to trouble you with our presence." she said frostily, but Rorr had allready opened the back door. "Sure we would. Yuli stop being stupid and get in the car." He grinned sheepishly from inside at Garath, "No hard feelings though, eh?" he said, "She'll come around."

Yuli glared and continued walking, "Rorr get out of there. We're walking." she snapped, forcing herself to look ahead. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. "I wouldn't want to bore Garath with my p-presence." Goddammit. You're crying. Hastily she whiped the tear from her eye and walked faster. But he was in a car and she was on the pavement...and she was cold. "Oh stop following me. I'm not going to get in. I get it okay? You felt sorry for the half blind freak so you talked to her for a bit. I'm fine with that. You don't have to feel guilty, okay? But cut it out while you're ahead. There's no need to continue being..." So cruel? "Like...like this." she waved her hand in a general way.

"If you feel bad for me take my brother home, but I'm fine without any of your charity." Now her voice wasn't upset anymore. She spoke with experience, like she'd said this a thousand times before and it'd been true every time. From inside the car Rorr sighed through his nose and rubbed his temples. "Maybe you've guessed but we've been in a similar situation." he said in a low voice, too low for Yuli to hear.

["Parker!"]

Garath growled hastely as he watched the brother get in and Yuli say she wouldn't want to trouble him with her presence! He looked narrowe eye'd at her, giving a almost snarl about to snap...but he relaxed and closed his eyes for a second, thinking. Wait. Bad idea. Keep you eyes on Yuli-- No wait--Damnit the road! Whatever. It was empty. He looked down at her with an non expressant look.

She was crying. DAMNIT GARATH! His mind roared furious with himself although all he could do was grimance. Stupid, stupid, stupid! He watched her, rolling the car along, keeping up easily with her pace. 'Don't worry kid, I'm not interested.'

Garath grimanced again, but suddenly became numb.

She was half blind. Her...her eye? Oh.

F.u.c.k.

Garath did feel guilty. How he'd just shaddered this girl's hopes of maybe a friend? He...he did want to be her friend! She was diffrent! Someone who wasn't acualy going to bounce around in a short shirt and flashy cleaveage! Sure...those things were nice-- but it wasn't everything... You stupid feline! He heard Rorr whisper into his hear. He felt like turned around and beating the s.hit out of him...but...it wasn't his fault. No...

"Yuli. I didn't.... I didn't mean it like that... I didn't think that..."

How was he suppose to explain this...? He closed his eyes for a momment then opened them with a sigh,

"I-I am interested in you, Yuli. You're probably the best type of girl I'd like to hang with--anytime. It doesn't matter if your half blind or full blind-- I still wana be..your...your friend. I'm not going to leave you alone on the streets... Can you just please...please get in...?"

Well said? He wasn really sure what he ment by-- interested. But he'd said it, and that's all that mattered.
