Hunting Games [Javier]

[RYUUNOMU NODREIZ]

Ryuunomu tapped the object with his leg. He reached a hand down and felt the wood under his finger tips after a moment. He felt around the object letting his touch do what his eyes could not. It only took a few moments longer before he figured out it was a bench.  Ryuu sat down gracefully after discovering this fact.  He pulled his cloak tighter around him, and pulled the hood over his face more.  

Ryuunomu had escaped from Team Rocket a little over a month ago. He had no plans on returning.  He used this cloak to hide his identity; he knew it wasn't a very good disguise.  However it was better then nothing.  He had been a voiding Team Rocket members by avoiding people all together.  Ryuunomu knew it would be only a matter of time before they fond him.  He didn't have any place to stay, so he was always sleeping out in the open. It wouldn't be that hard for them to find him. Ryuu wasn't looking forward to the day, when they fond him, for he had already decided that he would fight tooth and nail to keep from going back there.

Ryuunomu couldn't see but he could sense living, breathing beings.  He could hear them clearly, and even sense their body heat if they were close enough. Ryuu could hear the wind going around their bodies, so he could figure out where they were and their basic shapes.  He couldn't sense object or non-living beings.  However, this is how he was able to avoid people for a month. 

His time was coming to an end though. Ryuu could feel someone behind him. They were three yards away but he could feel them watching him. Ryuunomu didn't like this one bit, so he pulled his hood farther over his face, before saying, "Whoever you are come on out... I know your there." He said it just load enough for the stranger to hear him. There was no emotion in his voice and his face was blank as always.

from what javier had heard from the people who loved to order him around like some puppet on a string, an escapee had somehow broken away from team rocket. a refugee in sleepless. javier laughed, grinning the most wicked of grins as he stood leaned against a lamppost with crumpled paper in hand. the neatly typed letters read "subject #4" in typewriter letters, and a small black and white picture of the escapee was provided too. javier yawned, stuffing the paper articles into his pocket - he was hungry, perhaps he should eat something first? or better, maybe he should just leave this job to other people. after all, he wasn't the only one given the task of hunting down an escaped liability.

javier removed himself from his leaning position then, walking with his hands leisurely in his pockets through the streets and into the town square. as always, it had a peaceful air to it despite being full of people. full of human beings javier would want nothing more but to prank and ruin for kicks. the zorua gijinka breathed in the scent of the square deeply. he took a step forward, but froze in his tracks. at the corner of his eyes he could see someone who looked strikingly like… javier grinned wolfishly, "well, that was easy," he muttered to himself. depute having their back turned on him javier could tell - with that distinctive hairstyle and the telltale style of dress… subject number four, target acquired. slowly, javier snuck towards his target. with their back turned he had thought it would be easy, and all movement stopped when he realized that the other had sensed him.

of course, javier of all people shouldn't be surprised about the power some gijinkas have. after all, he himself has the power to trick others by means of illusion. it was only natural that a gijinka like number four had heightened senses to compensate for something else. javier smirked, "i'm already out in the open," he answered lightheartedly, his playfully eerie voice danced on his tongue. "and so are you."

javier took a few steps forward, his footsteps intentionally louder as they echoed off the cobblestone path. they broke through the noise of the town square, and javier felt the need to chuckle softly, "for a refugee, you sure picked one hell of a small place to stay. given that you stick out like a sore thumb, test subject number four."

[RYUUNOMU NODREIZ]

Ryuunomu listened harder as all the person's movement stopped. He was trying to figure out their hight and if they were a Gijinka or not. However, the person started moving again throwing off his analysis, their steps loader on the hard ground.  Ryuu stood up as the other came closer, turning around so he was in a less vulnerable position. He held back his urge to snap his jaws at the stranger.  His Pokémon instinct made him want to do that a lot. He may not have the official move, but that wont stop him from biting anyway.  It just didn't do nearly as much damage.  Ryuu's face didn't show any of his inner turmoil, it stayed blank. 

Ryuunomu could hear the smirked in the other's voice and he didn't like it one bit. He could sense danger from this person and was already trying to find ways out. Ryuu didn't like the eerie and playful tone the strange had at the second part. "To me your not in the open. Trying to sneak up on someone from behind doesn't make it seem like you are."

[/b] Ryuunomu clicked his tongue, the only display of emotion he gave the stranger. "There is no where else for me to be."[/b] he added quietly, but his voice was empty. 

Ryuu took a few steps back as the other came forward.  He tried to come up with more details about this person. Their voice indicated that they were male. Based off of the sound of their footsteps they most likely weighed more then himself. Ryuunomu got a chill down his spine as they chuckled softly.  He didn't stop himself this time and he snapped his jaws blankly.  Ryuu had hoped the cloak he had gotten would help Team Rocket from not recognizing him, as easily. Must of been wrong then. He slipped his hood off sense there wasn't much point in keeping it on now. "I have a name you know. And it isn't Test Subject #4. Good job, though you got me."[/b]. Ryuu was beyond mad. He was livid. He hated Team Rocket for finding him and he hated himself for being fond. However, both his voice and his face didn't show either of these.  The words he used were the only clue off to this fact.

"I guess you should thank me though, pet.  Without me you wouldn't be a zero.  Do tell me how tight of a leash they keep you on little Team Rocket Pet.

Ryuunomu was still backing up, and brainstorming all the escape routes. He was not going back there to be tested on some more. That was the only thing they used him for, a lab rat. He was the pin cushion, and he would sooner die then have an other one of their needles stuck in him. 

Right behind him he felt a group of people start to pass him. He clicked his teeth together, before he turned and ran into the crowd they made. Pulling on his hood as he dodged through people gracefully. He sometimes would knock someone down, but Ryuu would just keep on going. Trying to lose the Team Rocket member. [/blockquote][/blockquote]

javier smiled - though he was pretty sure the other couldn't see him properly. he had no care as to where this test subject could go or how he could manage being a refugee any longer. javier just had a job to do - but he didn't want to do it. plain and simple. "there's a nice little cell for you in the headquarters," javier droned, not sounding the least bit impressed with the equivocation of his acquaintance. "it's that or the guillotine." he finished, stuffing his hands in his pants pockets. he couldn't care less about the wellbeing of this runaway experiment and his name. for all javier cared about 'test subject number four' didn't even have a gender. he's an object, an anomaly. javier smirked; it was a bit more fun for him then. perhaps he should keep him alive…

all thoughts stopped when he heard the name 'pet'. javier was laughing out loud then, slapping his knees at the pathetic insult. "team rocket pet? good one, number four!" he stopped, staring down at the boy, "but if i'm a pet… then you're a stray." he spoke maliciously, his tone laced with eerie playfulness. team rocket gave him enough freedom and liberties for javier to feel moderately comfortable. he had a home, a roof over his head, and enough notoriety to gain even the respect of some low ranked grunts. life was moderate - it was better with someone to chase down. javier followed the movement of the test subject slowly, hands in his pockets. "the leash? there is no leash, in fact i-" javier stopped, shaking his head as the other took off in a run. why did this always have to happen? they talk, they run, they duck and dodge their fate. humans were all cowards - and to think this stowaway was a zero… pathetic. javier grinned, hunting instinct kicking in as he took two steps forward and powered into a sprint, kicking the fallen people and jumping over them without care.

javier may have tripped a few times, but he didn't care about the wellbeing of the people on the ground. he could feel a man's rib crack under the weight of his legs as he ran over him to get to the test subject. chuckling at the groans of pain javier kept running - and then he shouted, "heads up there~!" the zorua gijinka had picked up a nearby folding chair, chucking it at the retreating shadow of the test subject as he ran.

[RYUUNOMU NODREIZ]

Ryuu thought about what the other had said while he ran. All of the stuff the other said wasn't even an option in Ryuunomu's mind. A cell or the guillotine, those are such good options... Crack He heard a bone crack distinctively. Ryuunomu resisted the urge to growl at the man chasing him. Instead he clicked his teeth together in a clear snap. He made sure it was loud enough for the other to hear.  Even though he couldn't show his unhappiness he wanted the other to know that he furious at the other's disregard for others well being. He could hear the other tripping over people too.  This guy was careless. That much was clear. He even stopped to talk to me when he should've just attack 

All thoughts stopped when he hear the other's shout and he hear the object whirling through the air.  Did he say he couldn't hear non-living object? Let's be more clear.  Ryuu can't hear non-moving, non-living objects. However, if you put a non-living object in motion then he can hear its movement through space.  Like right now Ryuunomu could hear the air moving around the thing that the idiot threw at him.  So, Ryuu was able to tell where it was going and where it would land.  He had two option and one second to make the decision. Option one was to let the chair hit him in the head and possibly knock him unconscious. The other was to trip over the chair and possibly still hit his head on the ground. However, because his momentum was less then that of chairs it was less likely to render him useless. Ryuunomu figured all this out in less then a second.  He had made his decision. 

Ryuunomu slow down his run (for he knew he couldn't stop in time), and ducked.  This caused whatever the object was to fall in front of him with a loud crash. Based off its crash Ryuu guessed it was something thin, metal, hallow, with a bit of plastic on it. So, he had no idea what got thrown at him. Ryuunomu could tell it was only a few feet ahead so he tried to stop as much as he could before his feet met it. When they did he tumbled over it. However, Ryuu didn't completely hit the ground because of something sticking out of it. One of them hit him pretty hard on the head. The only reason he knew is he could feel hot liquid starting to run down his face. He quickly got up again and ran a little farther. He heard a tree up ahead. Ryuunomu ran straight for it and quickly pressed his back against the tree facing his opponent. 

Now, as he saw it this person was either one of two things stupid or wanted to play. There are very few other reasons why said person would want to talk before he captured him and why you would tell the person your trying to catch, what was it? Oh right, "Heads up there~" also the way he talked and laughed made it sound like he thought of Ryuu has nothing more then a chew toy. So, he was hoping the guy wanted to play, because then there might be a way for him not to get sent back.  

Even though Ryuunomu wanted to snap back at him for the comments before he held his tongue. He didn't say that he would rather be dead then in Team Rockets cage again or that he would rather be a stray instead of a lab rat. Or even tell this guy how much of a pet he is. Because, he is must likely treated well, given a nice place to stay, rewarded for doing a good job with a treat and... Nope he didn't tell him any of that.  Instead he just said, "Do you want to play?"
