...Obviously there is.

[No comment on the lovely puke or nudity.]

[fallenapple]

[She's in a bed now- safe, but much more agitated then she ever was before, and it shows.]

It shouldn't have happened like that, there's no freakin' way!-

[She stops herself from screaming at him, barely.]

Things rarely go perfectly according to plan.

[He's a little too calm, really. A complete foil to Kyoko's anger.]

[video]

[fallenapple]

What freaking part of this was planned?!

[Slam. She puts a fist to the wall, almost punching a hole through it.]

[She hasn't heard exactly what Aliea's plan was.]

[impertinenti]

I do hope you're planning on returning that to me.

[ If there was anything Bel could recognize despite all of that disgusting blood and other things around it, it was his crown. ]

[ There was no concern behind his tone- only complete disgust. ]

[fallenapple]

Return what.

[It's said as icily as possible- it's clear she's not in so much pain anymore.]

audio;

[impertinenti]

My crown.

[fallenapple]

...

[She remembers something silver among all that red-]

[There's the sound of metal snapping in half.]

You really want this piece of shit back, princess?

[stepford_smiles]

Kyoko!

[Okay, well - not a lot of time for honorifics right now.]

--you're still injured!

[fallenapple]

[By this point, she's in a safe bed- though she looks no better than before in her expression, anger and exhaustion replacing confusion.]

I'm not. It was just the crap in my stomach.

[There might be some relief in her words- Mami is ok.]

Don't worry about me. Are you ok?

[stepford_smiles]

Of course I'm fine.

[And she's nearly shaking with relief herself. Part of her had been afraid that Kyoko simply wouldn't wake up.]

You need to rest.

[fallenapple]

...

We'll talk about it later.

[Her tone is odd to read- she knew the contract Mami made would go bad. Nothing good could result a single wish in the end. But to have it this suddenly-]

[Kyoko's reeling in the shock, too much to actually be angry at her. Her anger is purely directed at the animus.]

[addictedtobutts]

Where are you? You need help!

[fallenapple]

[When she replies, she's sitting up in an unmade bed, eyes a bit red around the edges.]

I'm fine. Who are you?

[addictedtobutts]

[He is glad that she looks a lot better. He nods slightly and at her question he bows towards her.]

I am Miroku.

[At his bow however, he grimaced in pain since he was still wounded from his battle.]

[fallenapple]

Yeah? And why are you introducing yourself today, Miroku? You got a beef with me too?

[She notices, and already expects the worst.]

[video] mmm, Pica is tasty

[checkmychainyo]

[His expression is tight, composed, and almost unreadable.]

I see you've returned after dying.

[video] oh so delicious.

[fallenapple]

[She doesn't notice it, it seems. Her own eyes are a bit red, but she's looking away. She's sitting in a bed now- a messy one, but still a bed.]

What else do you want to say, Captain Obvious?

[video]

[checkmychainyo]

You ate me. I'd like an explanation as to how all of this happened, at least.

[video]

[fallenapple]

...

Goddamnit.

[She feels sick to her stomach again as that horrible bile rises up in her throat. She speaks tightly.]

...Ask Killua. I explained it all to him.

[She didn't want to repeat that story again, especially when she felt and looked like this.]
