[ the fuck

THE FUCK ]

IM GONNA KILL YOU [ what happened to possessions not being more valuable than people ]

Oh? You've certainly changed your tone quickly. I thought possessions weren't as important to you as people.

[It's okay, she called that bluff too.

And it's a good thing this isn't a video or voice call. Even then, Satsuki's smirk can probably be read across text. Even if she isn't smirking in real life, it's easy to superimpose that attitude on her text.]

[ Yeah, it's way too easy. Combine that with the whole boot-on-the-seat routine from earlier, and you get one Pissed Off Ryuko. ]

you are SO dead

[ Good thing she knows exactly where Satsuki is. She's not as fast without her motorbike, but she's still qui— wait, what's that sound? ]

Satsukiiiiiiiiiii KIRYUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!! [ Ominous. And getting louder every second. ]

[She wouldn't run away from Ryuko...even an enraged Ryuko. She stands her ground and waits, making sure to return her boot heel to the bike's chassis when she hears her coming. Standing with her leg up the whole time would have been counterproductive.]

Does it bother you that I'm touching your possessions? Or does it bother you that I took it out from under your nose without you noticing?

[This really is an elementary school sibling rivalry put into adult bodies.]

[ Ryuko comes to a halt, panting a little. It's true that this is one of the more petty arguments they've had, but that doesn't make it any less of a fight. Satsuki's well and truly triggered the temper normally reserved for their old battles at Honnouji. ]

It bothers me that you're a huge asshole!

[ So: both of those things. Seeing Satsuki's heel on her bike literally makes her hair rise with anger, and she starts to push up her sleeves. ]

Hand it over! [ Would she actually punch her sister? ]

Are you going somewhere?

[She drops her heel from the back of the bike with a determined CLACK. No one will be able to accuse her of not wearing high heels today...some unseen camera might as well be zooming in on them.]

Isn't it good human nature to share? I wanted to borrow it.

This ain't borrowing.

[ That usually involves asking first. Sure, she'd stolen that poor guy's scooter when she first showed up at Honnouji... but she'd returned as soon as she could. And she hadn't been a huge, taunting jerk about it.

She takes another step closer. ]

What the hell are you tryin' to pull here? [ The thought of it being a task hasn't crossed her mind yet: she's completely back in Satsuki Is A Jerk mode. ]

[To be fair, Satsuki isn't doing much to dissuade, the big, taunting jerk reading of her actions. She lays a palm over the handle bars possessively, given them a nice, showy rub. She's certainly quick to start treating the bike like her own.]

You look death in the eye every day on the back of this thing, don't you? I thought I'd give it a try.

You have to act properly to warrant its return.

[Distract Ryuko long enough and she won't be able to complete her own tasks.]

[ Yeah, Satsuki literally has herself to blame for this one. ]

Try askin' next time!

[ She would have lent it to her, probably. Or at least given her a ride. If she's so interested in looking death in the eye, a trip with Ryuko would certainly do the trick. ]

I'm not gonna do shit. You're gonna take your hands off that, right now! [ Close enough to strike. Will this poor, innocent, sweet baby sister be forced to actually take a swing? ~~tune in next time on dragonball z~~ ]

I thought you might teach me how to drive it.

[It's so bald-faced, the way she puts that out there, as if it's really a possibility...as if she knows that it's the likeliest way she'll get to Ryuko emotionally.

It would be just like the old, manipulative Satsuki...except she breaks in her torment, and her smirk softens just a little. Still competitive, still resolute, but cheeky instead of snide. Much harder to punch.]

[ STOP THAT ]

Are you kiddin' me? [ Is she talking about Satsuki's words, or Satsuki's expression? It's a mystery which of the two frustrates her more. ] Oi, get that look off your face. I'm tryin' to be pissed off here.

[ She crosses her arms, annoyed. It's too hard to be mad at a soft sis. ]

[Just as planned. It works like a charm, every time...

But really, crafty as she is, even Satsuki wasn't planning to get off the hook entirely. She's not in the habit of manipulating emotions anymore, so while Satsuki may have planned this entire maneuver well in advance and relied on Ryuko's nobility to save her, it still surprises her that it happened so quickly.]

Maybe it's true that possessions aren't as important to you after all, is that it?

[ Ryuko really needs to stop being so predictable... but it'll never happen. She settles for a glare. ]

Can it. You're doin' this on purpose. [ Duh. ] You're lucky I don't put you through the damn wall.

I want my bike back. And there better not be a scratch on it!

Do you need it right away? I thought I could hold onto it for a while.

As long as your Life Fibers are dormant, you know we aren't on equal ground here.

[No way she's going through a wall any time soon.]

...No. I think I'd better give it back.

Damn right you'd better.

[ Trying to hide her surprise... that went slightly easier than she thought. She's mostly still awkward after having most of her aggression drained away by stupid Satsuki's stupid sisterness, to the point where she doesn't even challenge the comment about her strength. ]

I don't need it right now, but it's mine. Give it back and maybe I'll let you off the hook. [ ~~~maybe~~~ ]

Be vigilant. [She tosses the keys back over. It's a low pitch, but not insulting. She's not gentle about it.]

[ She snatches them out of the air with a snort. ] You be vigilant. I'm here to wi—

[ Wait.

Wait. ]

This was a stupid challenge, wasn't it! [ slowryuko.jpg ]

SHUT UP SHES DUMB

[Satsuki lets out a small, 'tchh' noise of surprise. Her features soften and her eyebrows drop some.]

What did you think it was?

I thought you were just bein'... y'know... you!

[ Aka Satsuki Kiryuuin: caterpillar-eyebrowed bitch, not Satsuki Kiryuuin: big sis. Such a rude assumption to make after all this time, but it's not like either of them are above antagonizing the other for kicks. ]

I don't know how to be anyone but.

[She leans on the bike's handlebars, expression thoughtful.]

I'm insulted you think I'd commit such a reckless action without good reason. [After all, that's quintessential: Satsuki would never do such a thing.]

Edited 2015-09-17 02:58 (UTC)

Pissin' me off seems like a good reason.

[ Well, she's not wrong. Ryuko certainly needs no better reason for half the things she does. ]

... I'll teach you some other time, if you're serious. [ Stroppy baby. ]

You seem fond of flinging that accusation. One day, I'll have to follow through on it.

[How insulting. Pissing Ryuko off has always been a tertiary motivation at best - a bonus. Sprinkles.]

I'm sure I'm a natural if you are.

I'm not so sure...

[ Wow, Ryuko. Don't doubt your sis. ]

Maybe you should get your own bike. Y'know, just in case. [ Is she doing a bit of trolling in revenge? She's probably earned it. ]
