WHO: Hiruma and Saitou. Also open to Kiryu, Alastair and Bakura if they happen to be around.
WHERE: Hell Towers floor 10, the bachelor pad
WHEN: Backdated to the afternoon of March 9th
WARNINGS: Rated H! For Hiruma.
SUMMARY: Saitou has acquired a new power, one that Hiruma is intimately familiar with. Time for some training with the commander from Hell. And yes, I am putting up these logs at 9 AM during my cell biology class WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?
FORMAT: Paragraph to start. Whatever Ay wants after.

Hiruma had mixed feelings about this little... diversion. His diversion from the main diversion of the carnival. He had hopped on the first plane that morning. It wasn't something he enjoyed doing, but he had actually just snuck on the plane through the cargo hold. It was surprisingly easy for even a larger-sized bat to hide itself among the suitcases and mail. Sure, the ride was less than comfortable, and it got really frickin' cold sometimes, but in the end he saved about 3, 4 hours by not burdening himself with security lines and luggage.

Upon arrival in the City, Hiruma went shopping. Lunch, really. He arrived back at his apartment complex about an hour and a half after he landed. He then even had the courtesy to knock at the door of the bachelor pad, a small plastic grocery bag and a cup of coffee in hand. Of course, that didn't stop him from either opening the unlocked door or using his master key to open the door if it was locked. Wolves can't open doors, after all, and Hiruma wasn't sure if Kiryu was home. Alastair would be at work.

"Helllooooooooooo~" He called out. "Ookami-san? Kekekeke."

He just closed his eyes again after Hiruma continued (not that he could reply anyway) and focused again. Tried reaching for that 'black object' again. He could remember slightly where he had found it the first time, and lo and behold, it was still there.

It was easy to image himself as he was in human form. Easy to image holding his sword again; it might as well be a second appendage for him by now.

It was a few minutes before anything happens again, but after a little while one of the bones on his front paw starts to crack.

Hiruma watched and grinned. There it was. Saitou was a fast learner, he wasn't surprised.

"Whatever you're feeling right now... focus on it. Amplify it."

Once again, no reply from Saitou, though he heard him well enough.

And a few seconds later more bones started cracking, moving up his front limbs and further up his spine. His tail seemed to be shrinking, also.

Hiruma just watched. Saitou seemed to have it under control. Now it was just a matter of him finishing what had started. If the shifting power was anything like his own, it wouldn't be long before the effect cascaded and picked up speed.

He was about right in the idea that the shifting would pick up speed. The cracking bones became more frequent, more audible, and it's not very long until it's a very human-looking Saitou sitting on the floor, looking up at Hiruma with a slight irritated grimace.

"Hngh."

Hiruma clapped a bit. "Kekekekekekeke!! You did it. Congrats. Would have been hella hard without me, right?" Hiruma didn't need Saitou to say it. He knew. If Hiruma hadn't coached him, it'd have been days, maybe weeks, before Saitou figured it out on his own.

Hiruma stood up and stretched again. "Now. Things to remember. First. If you wanna ever get good at it, you have to train. Hard. Hard as fuck. It may not seem like a useful power now, but you never know when it will come in handy. Second, try to avoid extremely stressful situations until you've got it under control. Fucking adrenaline can set off the power without you giving it the ok. Third... uh.... I can't think of a three."

He stood and straightened out his clothes while Hiruma was talking, making sure everything was situated before glancing back at him.

And then gave a small smirk at the mention of 'stressful situations.' He was kind of on the run, still, after all. Even if laying low fairly well these days.

"So noted."

"Hey, at least you got clothes on your first try. It could always be worse. Your spirit animal could have been like... a fucking rat or something."

A pause.

"Though a rat would be useful for hiding out.... kekekekekeke."

He snorted a bit at that, and immediately headed back toward his room to grab his cigarettes. The withdrawal was too strong right now to hold back from lighting one much longer.

"I can hide well enough without a rat being involved."

"Hey. Don't underestimate rats. They're smart little fuckers."

Hiruma dug around in his bag again and pulled out an apple. The rest of his lunch. "Kekeke, well now we know why you got ported out and in so fast, at least!"

Saitou just snorted derisively again, walking back out of his room with his pack of cigarettes (yay he missed those). "Just my luck."

Hiruma took a bite out of the apple. Of course, with his huge mouth, this resulted in half the fruit disappearing into his toothy maw.

"Yeah yeah. So what happened anyway? Just woke up that way?"

While Hiruma was doing that, Saitou grabbed a fresh cigarette and lit it a second later, though did keep it out of Hiruma's direction, at least.

"I believe so."

Hiruma didn't complain. He didn't like Saitou smoking indoors, but hell; it was better than that creepy little Kiryu setting stuff on fire. What an idiot.

"That's weird." a pause, "Or maybe not."
