Prologue
"So it's true then?" A young women weaned as she was being held in strong arms. Her blue eyes stared at his golden brown ones with heart break and pain. They were in a massive crater he had created from a fight. It had been a close call but she managed to calm him down before he turned fully into the Lightning Emperor again.
He bowed his head down to her own, "I have to leave Akira, you know what's at stake here."
"Ginji... Don't leave me behind..." He helped her stand with an arm wrapped around her waist. He pulled her close into a warm hug, she took the chance to remember the feeling.
A sudden pain hit her gut as her eyes widened, she remembered seeing a man standing behind them with penetrating blue eyes of his own.
"Forgive me... Akira..." Ginji whispered as her eyes slowly closed and she went limp in his arms, a single tear fell from him onto her now unconscious face.
The limitless fortress... It was a dangerous place now that Lightning Emperor had left but some of them remained behind. She had been one of them, a dedicated follower of Ginji Amano until the day he left.
Now she was by the boy's side... the unknown boy known as Makubex...
Chapter one
"Akira!" Her name snapped out of her memory as her hardened eyes found the one who had called her name. She had known the boy since he was a baby, he had become like a brother to her.
She found more blue eyes like her own, "Make sure our guests are welcomed properly, I need the data." His voice ordered of her.
"Of coarse Makubex."
With that she turned to leave her long auburn hair slowing behind her, both of them had been heartbroken the day Ginji abandoned them. That was why she chose to follow him now, she had been waiting for the day when they would meet again.
"The time has come finally... Ginji Amano." Her figure disappeared behind the doors to the room filled with computers.
She watched as the lower members attacked the large group, her eyes widened as she caught the glimpse of lightning that flashed by. She was ordered to watch as each of their individual members used different talents but when his order came she was to attack without being seen. How ever she knew she wasn't the only one there...
Makubex was right again... That must be Ban Midou... and Lady Poison... even Kazuki and Shido... Akira thought to herself, screams made her notice a guy dressed completely in black, his violet eyes dangerous, "That must be Akabane..." She muttered to herself. His violet eyes met her own blue ones making her widen in surprise. She moved further back into the darkness, How was he able to see me?
Akabane easily killed the group that came towards him as Ginji screamed out a pain filled 'no' but it was to late as his knives cut through them like nothing at all. Akira's attention was changed as she noticed Shoo had managed to run past her. The boy stopped scared at the man dressed in black before him, Akira didn't think first as she instantly charged out infront as Akabane prepared to attack.
His knives came right at the boy but she managed to get to him in time, water poured around her hand like a shield and stopped the knives from hitting it's target, "I'm afraid this boy is not your opponent... I am."
"I was wondering when you would come out of hiding..." Akabane said with a smirk on his face as he looked at her.
Ginji stopped inches from her with surprise written all over his face, "Akira!" Her eyes widened for a moment as she looked into the eyes she remembered so fondly.
Akabane took the moment to use his other hand to try and hit her, this time he was stopped with electricity. Ginji stood infront of Akira pushing her back a bit as if he was trying to protect her, the thought made her grind her teeth.
"What's this? Do you intend to show mercy to your enemy Ginji?" Akabane questioned looking at the Akira. There was something in his eyes that made her distrust him, she could feel the killing aura around him.
"There's no need for senseless blood shed, Our objective doesn't include killing women and little boys."
Akabane retracted him knives and stepped back once "Your so soft, show a little mercy and these urchins will kick your feet out from under you."
The comment made him angry as lightning formed around him in a warning, "Why you!"
"Are you... Are you the Lightning Emperor? Ginji Amano?" Shoo asked now holding onto Akira's leg for safety.
Akira placed a hand on his head still ready to attack when Makubex ordered but for now she wished to keep the child safe, "Shoo?"
"You came! You came back! Didn't you Mister Amano!" Shoo shouted excited as he went to Ginji. Akira kept her distance knowing her moves were being watched by Akabane, she watched as the boy smiled along with Ginji.
A male voice caught her attention, "Who is this kid and chick Ginji?" Ban Midou asked. As soon as she caught sight of him her fists clenched still angry about the past, Akabane didn't miss her reaction. No doubt Midou didn't remember who she was but his eyes taunted her every since that day...
"He's an old friend who was a member of the Volts when I was here, Everybody this is Shoo!" Ginji introduced, "And that back there is Akira, she's not only a childhood friend but one of Kazuki's group." Kazuki and Shido looked at her with a broken expression not knowing what to say to the women they had all known for so long. Those two were aware of the rip in heart that Ginji had left but never spoke a word about it. Kazuki had been by her side up until Ginji left, then even he abandoned her, now he couldn't even look her in the eyes.
Shoo smiled at them while she glared staying back, "This is great, Mr. Amano came back to the fortress. The Volts will be making a come back huh?"
Ginji released Shoo, "No their not Shoo. I'm only back here because of a job I got to do."
She knew that was the case but the words still hurt, Shoo slowly back up towards Akira who willingly walked up to the boy still silent, "A job? Your not here to bring the Volts back to life?"
"I'm sorry... I won't be coming back here ever again." Ginji looked at both of them, he flinched under the heated glare Akira gave him.
Shoo was surprised and disappointed, "Do you have any idea Mr. Amano? Any idea what happened to the rest of us since YOU disappeared!?" He cried at him.
Shoo clung to Akira's clothing after the first outburst, seeking comfort from someone he knew, "And do you know what's brewing up in the limitless fortress right now? What Makubex is about to start?! DO YOU!" Akira covered his mouth knowing the consequences that may occur upon the innocent boy if he spoke to much about their plans.
"That's the last time you shoot your mouth off kid, Should've done your job right, Akira!" Four daggers flew at Shoo as his eyes widened in fear, Akira moved the boy just enough out of the way to take the hit.
"Ms. Akira! Are you okay!?" Shoo cried out clinging to her, Akira removed the daggers from her back and right leg before she threw them at the groups feet.
Ginji stared dumbly at her watching the red seep into her clothing, "Akira..." Shoo started to cry trying to find out if she was alright, he depended upon her now since most of the kids had no families she began caring for all the ones she could.
She looked at him one last time before covering both Shoo's mouth and nose as the gas began to seep out of the daggers that she had been hit with. Ginji tried to go after her as she began to limp away with the boy safely in her arms, "AKIRA!"
"Ginji no! It's dangerous! Ginji you idiot what the hell are you doing... GINJI!" Ban tried to reason with Ginji as he started after them.
The man who threw the knives scoffed at them all, "Stupid women almost ruined everything to save that boy." He looked towards Ginji, "So this is the Lightning Emporer, I've heard so much about. Nothing special if you ask me, Not that you'd be a match for me in this smoke seeing as how I've built up enough strength to move through it freely."
Electricity flowed showing where Ginji was making his enemy startled, Akira watched holding the now unconscious boy safely in her arms, "Why?! Why would you do that... to Akira!" At the moment he said her name Lightning shot out at the man knocking his weapon out of his hand.
"I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!" He cried out aiming his fist at the man full of anger, the look on his face made her even flinch back. The movement made her cringe as pain shot through her legs and back.
Unfortunately for Ginji the gas had already made it into his system as his fist stopped inches from the guys face before Ginji collapsed.
"Oh what do you know, ahahahaha... look at this! The smoke is working isn't it... you had me worried there. You may be the Lightening Emporer but I kicked your butt anyway!"
The man pulled out more knives as Akira prepared to step in, she knew what her job was but to watch Ginji die this way was not the plan and she wouldn't stand by and watch.
The man laughed hysterically, "I thought of giving you to Makubex as a present but not anymore! LIGHTNING EMPEROR, GINJI AMANO, I COMANHORA HAVE YOU NOW!"
Before Akira could step in the way someone else had saved Ginji's life with a flick of his own knives, "But... how did you..." the man known as Comanhora backed up against a pole scared for his life.
Akira had seen Akabane slice the man already as blood suddenly sprayed against the pole he had leaned against forming the shape of a J, "Your the kind of prey that's to precious to let die at the hands of a fool like this. Yes you are, Aren't you Ginji Amano..."
Akabane looked in her direction again, "I hope we meet again soon... Lady Akira."
Akira had fled already still holding Shoo, she swiftly left the fortress to take the boy to safety. She knocked on the wooden door and a young girl answered with short spiked red hair and blue eyes, "Ms. Akira!"
"Ren... I need you and Gen to keep this boy here at all costs!" Akira pleaded walking into the small clinic.
Ren watched as she walked right in, once the girl caught a glimpse of her back her eyes widened, "GRAMPS GET IN HERE QUICK!"
The old man walked in from the back, he took a good look around and caught sight of Akira carrying a little boy, "Akira what brings you here?"
"Gramps, Ms. Akira needs her wounds treated immediately!" Ren told him staring at the young women's back. Akira ignored her and set the boy down one of the beds, "Gen, keep this boy here at all costs. Things will be getting bad around here soon and I need to make sure those I care for are safe so all of you stay here!" She told them with a hardened look.
Gen grabbed a glass of water and walked up to Akira after seeing her back and leg. He splashed to water onto the wounds and watched as it was absorbed into her body healing her wounds instantly. Ren was in awe, "That's so amazing!" She whispered.
Akira nodded her head in thanks towards Gen, "I will do this for you Akira so long as you keep your promise."
"I will protect Makubex with my life if need be." She swore before walking out of the small clinic and back towards her goals and dreams.
Ren looked at her Grandpa, "What is she, Gramps and how was she able to do that?" Her Grandfather looked at her with a sad expression, "That is the women known as the Empress of the Sea, Akira Tarishima. Capable of manipulating and controlling all water that's why the water healed her otherwise deadly wound, a deadly enemy to those who stand in her way and powerful ally to us."
Ren watched her walk away as Akira's long auburn hair flowed behind her like the clothing material she wore, "Please be safe Ms. Akira!" Ren called out to her receiving a single wave.
I know it's short but I'd like to try another story. The Tri-Blood series will continue it's just taking some time... Sorry :( Please let me know what you think R&R!
