"Don't let go, Kiku! You can't let go of my hand!"
"Y-Yao-san! W-Why are we running?"
"We can't be caught!" Yao quickly slid around a corner of a rocky wall, pulling Kiku with. They slid into a bush where Yao quickly covered Kiku's mouth to stop his heavy breathing. Yao pushed his body as far against the rocky wall as he could. He held his own breath, hopping not to get caught.
"Y-" Kiku spoke under his hand.
"Shh!" Yao hushed, listening in.
"Where did they go?"
"They ran around here."
"Keep looking. The young one is infected." Kiku glanced up at Yao with worry as Yao narrowed his eyes with a light growl. These kids weren't infected, just different. Instantly, a dark, gloved hand reached into the bush and wrapped its fingers around Kiku's small arm. Kiku eyes widened, along with a scream, as he was yanked from Yao's grip and pulled out of the bush.
"Kiku!" Yao pushed out of the bush and after Kiku, quickly grabbing Kiku's arm. "Let go of him!" Yao scream, pulling Kiku back into his arms. The three voices from before instantly surrounded the 2, directing their large guns at the two threateningly. Kiku instantly ran behind Yao, gripping onto his shirt and lightly shaking. They were going to be shot. They were going to be killed.
"Hand us the kid." One commanded.
"No! Leave him alone!" Yao put his arms out to block Kiku.
"Kid, give him to us. It's too late for you to be anyway. You need to go back home. So, hand us the kid behind you." The second moved his gun, trying to scare Yao.
"No! I'm protecting him!" Yao grit his teeth in anger.
"You're the one needing protection for kids like him." The 3rd spoke.
"We are NOT DANGEROUS!" Yao yelled as a dark purple, almost black aura grew around him and surrounded his body. One that seemed almost twice as large as the dark aura around Kiku. Yao's eyes narrowed as they turned a bright red and his dark brown hair changed into a shade of reddish-brown. Kiku's eyes widened as he slowly backed up from Yao. What was happening to him…?
"He's infected!"
"Shoot him!" The three pulled up their guns. Yao lightly smirked only to dart at the 3 with increased speed. Using his hand, Yao placed them into a chopping position and hit two low pressure points on one of the men. The man groaned in pain as he toppled over, falling to the ground. Grabbing that man's pistol, that was nicely placed in his back pocket, Yao quickly whipped the gun around, aimed and shot at the second one, instantly killing him. The final man quickly began to shoot, ripping multiple shots through the air. Yao quickly jumped from side to side, moving his body in a way that he wouldn't even brush by a bullet. Quickly, Yao raised his pistol and shot exactly one bullet back. The man tried to dodge to the side. Yao smirked. He had aimed the bullet exactly where the man had jumped. The bullet ripped through the man's head, having him flung back with the powerful force and fall to the ground, bleeding out.
Smiling, Yao turned back to Kiku hoping to see a smile. But, all Yao got was a face full of horror. Before Yao could say a word, a slight whistling noise rang through the air as Yao felt a prick on his arm. Quickly, Yao's eyes fell as he fell to the ground. Kiku quickly glanced over from where the dart had come from. To his surprise, and horror, 5 more men stood, aiming at him and Yao. A girl, dressed in all white was seen in the middle of the 5. She smiled at him before one of the men shot at Kiku, shooting an identical dart into his arm. Quickly, Kiku's vision to black out as he too, fell to the ground.
So, I'm not too sure where I'm going with this. I thought of this at, like, 3 in the morning when I couldn't sleep. I'm not too sure if I'm going to continue this, as I don't have too much thought on it. By, hey, you never know. If I get an idea for this story, and enough people actually enjoy this beginning, I'll gladly write more~
