This is the first time I've managed to finish a fanfiction. Sorry it's so short!
I also wrote this quickly and didn't review it (if I did I'll probably rewrite it a bunch of times and give up altogether...)
So there may be mistakes in there - hopefully I didn't go out of character too much!
But anyways, enjoy!
The moments that had all seemed to be a blur creating the illusion life was passing by like a train had slowly drifted away, leaving behind only smoke and ashes. And bodies. They were strewn everywhere, the acrid smells protruding from their bodies would`ve surely made a person gag, but she wasn't thinking about that right now. Clutching the doll she had made for Tsukumo, she closed her eyes. The feeling in her fingers wasn't entirely there, so she wasn't even sure how long the doll would even stay in her fingers. She desperately wanted to leave and find Tsukumo, but her body barely seemed to be reacting to her mind's commands. Her eyes opened slightly, though they weren't really taking anything in. Formed on the edge of her eye, the tear that had settled there slowly drifted down the side of her face. Cursing herself silently she made another attempt to get up, but the smallest movement she made caused a pain shooting throughout her tiny body, causing her to collapse with a muffled scream. As she lay there her mind reeled, an internal conflict forming to choose between dragging herself out of here, or succumbing to her injuries and slowly drifting off into a deep sleep…
No, she screamed in her mind. I'm getting out of here no matter what! Deep inside she knew that there was no way she could, but she would never give in now. She'd gone through too much to stop here, and she definitely wasn't going to to die in the wretched research lab of the Illuminati. The True Cross…would they come for her? If she could've shook her head she would've, but she was too tired, and she knew the smallest move would shoot lightning throughout her body. I won't rely on them. I'll make it out myself…I know-
Her thoughts were broken as she coughed, her whole body wracking in pain it was a wonder she was able to hold back her tears, despite they were watery enough that everything became a blur in the room. But, the doll, was it still in her hand? She could no longer tell…
Suddenly, she felt like the world beneath her had left her, but her pain was still riveting her entire body. She saw the body of Gedouin by the control panels, his body pierced from a collapse in the upper floors. She managed a weak smile, though she though that he deserved much worse punishment to what had happened here. The traitor Shima's body lay over to the left wall. She wasn't sure if he was dead, but despite everything, she kind of hoped he hadn't, but that he'd at least be injured for his entire life, filled with regrets for taking part in such inhumane experiments.
Her view changed, and her eyes opened a bit wider to the view it beheld. Rin had picked her up and was changing her into a better position. He didn't realize the pain that was spreading through her entire being from it, and she kept it hidden. She wished she could slap him away, tell him to leave her be.
THE DOLL! She screamed in her mind as Rin wrapped her arms around his neck. Hi slips were moving, but she couldn't hear what he was saying. THE DOLL!She felt tears start to drift down from her eyes, startling Rin. Hi slips moved in a flurry, his eyes meeting hers, his whole face filled with worry. But then she noticed that the doll was still in her hand, and her body contorted with pain as she choked up, and things flickered to black for a few seconds before her vision cleared to see Rin's eyebrows creasing his forehead in determination and worry. It's still there….
''…R…in….'' Had it not been so much work to say, she wouldn't have called him by his first name, but…
Rin glanced at her but didn't stop moving, his lips moved, probably saying words of comfort to her, she assumed. Swallowing, she prepared to try and speak again. ''S..top…for…..a…se…co…nd… '' He ignored her, as she should've known. If only she wasn't so weak….
''R…in…pl…ease… '' she cursed herself for sounding so desparate. She didn't want to rely on anyone or anything, she'd rather just have died than rely on anyone. She'd only end up getting hurt in the end, and so would they…did they even know why she was here yet? She didn't want to have to tell them….if Rin brought her to medical attention, as soon as she'd able she'd run. Before they asked questions, before they pretended to be her friends….
To her suprise, Rin suddenly stopped, his face showing he was about to protests and move forward, but she stopped him dead in his tracks. ''..C..ome…clo…ser…'' her voice was beginning not to wish to respond to her either. Slowly lowering his ear to her mouth she whispered, ''…ple..ase…find….Tsu….ku….mo…. ''. He turned to ask her a question, and she painstakingly move her body enough to kiss him on the lips. What was she doing? Why was she relying on him? Why was she….
She wasn't sure if Rin was reacting to what she had done or not. She wasn't even sure her lips even met his, either. Her whole body felt to be in flames, so as the tears flowed down her face, everything blacked out into nothingness….
So, that's the end! I doubt there will ever be a part 2, as I don't think I could fathom up something that would work well enough to stay in character and still be interesting... (If this was even interesting at all xD)
So, I leave you here, and I'm sure someone is going to strangle me for leaving them off on such a cliffhanger. Is she dead? Well, I don't know, you tell me :D
