It was raining. Two men were sitting in a tree in the park. Why? They didn't really know.
"Tell me again why were here." Dou asked for the millionth time that night. He couldn't understand what exactly they were supposed to do. "You know what I think? I think -"
"Mission." Hiiro interupted his friend in his typical monotone.
"Ya, that much I know. Come to the park, sit in a tree, and watch. What: Unknown. Why: Classified. This is the stupidest mission they've ever sent us on." The miserable boy got no response. Hiiro had tuned him out. Duo scowled. This would be a long night. Turning slightly he once again focused his attention to their surroundings.
Not far away a small figure crawled into view. One arm was held tightly over its stomach and it moved slowly on severely injured limbs. The boys watch as it paused. This was the most interesting thing to happen all night. The figure gagged. A gooey substance poured slowly out of its mouth. Slowly the hand was moved from its side to the guck slowly slipping from its mouth. After a two second examination of the goop, which was most likely blood, it returned the hand to its side and crawled to a tree and collapsed.
The boys had watched as the figure crawled to their tree and lay down. A slight moan escaping its lips. They couldn't tell if it was female or male but they assumed female due to the size of the body and the extreme length of the hair. She lay on her side and slowly drew her legs close to her body. She used her left arm as a pillow while the other remained at her side. The guys studied her carefully. Her cloths were torn and caked in all manner of grime. At best they resembled jeans, a T-shirt, and maybe a light sweater. She'd lost a shoe and her socks were nothing more then scraps of fabric clinging to her feet. Her hair was tangled and matted with grime and stuck to her body in odd ways. Blood was the most likely cause. Some of the mess had slipped on to her cheek; covering it completely. They could just make out a few pale cream patches, which one would assume was her skin. The rest was covered in large masses of dirt, thick layers of mud, and some other substance that glistened in the dim light.
Almost instantly Duo started climbing down the tree, he had every intention of aiding the poor creature when Hiiro's emotionless voice stopped him.
"Where are you going?" Dou barely paused his decent as he briefly looked up at his friend.
"To help her. She's obviously been beat and bad. We need to get her to a hospital."
"You can't. We have a mission." Dou opened his mouth to reply when a faint groaning reached his ears. Without a second though Duo jumped from the tree and walked to her side. Hiiro followed, mentally noting to kill the braided one later. Hiiro Yui never failed a mission. Duo heard the soft thud as Hiiro came down behind him and smiled slightly. The perfect soldier would never change. 'I bet he's glaring at me right now, trying to figure out the best way to kill me. Huh, he can try but the great Shinigami never dies.' Reaching the girls side he discovered he was right. It was a she, and she was badly beaten. Hiiro followed and the second her eyes flitted open he drew his gun. Typical Hiiro.
"Identify yourself." It was a simple statement but the sound of his voice was usually the key in making a suspect talk. Dou glared at his partner, he opened his mouth to object when the girl's voice reached his ears. Turning around he found her eyes open. Though it was obvious she was struggling, they stayed that way.
"You must go. My name does not matter. The less you know the better. If they find you..." She paused and her eyes slowly shut. Hiiro leaned down to check her pulse and her eyes flashed open. "You must go. Now. Get out of here. They'll get you. You mustn't stay. Go now, get out!" Her voice had risen in volume as she spoke and ergentcy was laced through her last words. She gasped suddenly gripping her chest and lay bak on the ground. "Go." She wispered as her eyes shut for what would probably be the last time. "Save yourselves."
"Ya, we'll save ourselves and you too." Dou said scooping her body off the ground. He turned too Hiiro only to notice that his friends eyes were narrowed and he was looking intently at their surroundings.
"We're not alone." The harsh monotone was slightly disturbing in the rainy silence.
