*~The Akatsuki Corporation~*
by Kotomi Itabashi
-PROLOGUE MESSAGE-
My name is Yoko. I worked for the Akatsuki Corporation, the largest and most powerful commercial entity in the world. I was head of security at a secret high tech facility called The Hive, a giant underground laboratory developing experimental viral weaponry. But there was an incident, a virus escaped and everybody died. Trouble was... they didn't stay dead.
The T-virus reanimated their bodies. But I survived. Myself and one other, an environmentalist named Naruto, when we emerged we were seized by Umbrella scientists. Naruto and I were separated. We thought we had survived the horror, but we were wrong...
-CHAPTER 1-
"STAY DOWN!" shouted out a voice as I was pulled down onto the ground, landing with a thud. I looked up at my brother, Sasuke as he laid himself over me, covering me from bullets that were being shot at us from Akatsuki soldiers. I quickly pulled out the handgun from my thigh holster and shot at the soldiers, killing them each one by one.
Once I had gotten them all, Sasuke got off of me and held out a hand for me grab. I took my hand into his, giving me a help back up to my feet. "Thanks bro." I said as I placed my handgun back into it's holster. "No problem." He replied, putting a hand on my shoulder. I sighed and brushed his hand off, beginning to walk off.
"We'll find him...I'm sure we will." I stopped and turned back around to look at him. "But...what if we don't? What if our efforts were for nothing?" Sasuke sighed and hugged me tightly. "They won't be, sister. I have a really good feeling that we will find Naruto. Just trust me on this, okay?" "Alright..." I replied, hugging him back gently.
Sasuke smiled and grabbed my hand, dragging me along with him as he ran towards a nearby plane. "But first, we gotta get the fuck outta here, or else we're dead!" I nodded and let go of Sasuke's hand, speeding in front of him as I had noticed more Akatsuki soldiers approaching.
"Stay behind me!" I shouted over at Sasuke, pulling my FNP90 from my back over my shoulder, quickly aiming and shooting at the soldiers. Sasuke came up from behind me and pulled out his handgun and began to shoot as well, taking out soldiers one by one. "Yoko, hurry on ahead and get that plane started! I'll hold them off!" I glanced over at Sasuke, quickly saluting to him as I made my way towards the plane, dodging the bullets being shot at me.
Once I got into the plane, I started to flip on switches, turning the engine on, until, I heard a sudden cry of agony from outside: "GAAHH!" I quickly looked out the window of the plan and saw Sasuke on the ground, blood gushing out of his stomach. "Sasuke!" I cried out as I quickly got out the plane and ran to him, picking him in in my arms.
"No, Yoko, just go." Sasuke said in a low voice as he clutched his stomach. "No, I'm not leaving you!" I then dashed back towards the plane, determined to save him. "Yoko, I don't even think I can make it." "Shut up! Don't say that, Goddammit!" I then climbed into the plane, setting Sasuke down in the co-pilot's seat, quickly strapping him in.
I then got into my seat buckling myself in, and finished turning the plane's engine on fully, getting ready to take off. "Just hang tight, I'll fix ya up in a sec!" Sasuke looked at me weakly, slowly reaching his hand out, grabbing my arm. "Yoko...please..." I bit my lip, trying to fight back my tears as the plane took off, heading into the sky. "Sasuke...I need you hang in there, okay? Once I get this plane at a high enough altitude, I'll put in auto-pilot and I'll help you. Alright?"
Sasuke's grip on my arm started to weaken as he spoke in a low voice, "Yoko...I'm...sorry...I...just can't...make it...please...I need you...to stay strong...for me...okay sis?" I then put the plane in auto-pilot, unbuckled myself, and knelt next to Sasuke, gripping onto his hand. "Sasuke, please don't leave...I'll be lonely..." I looked down, tears streaming down my cheeks as I began to cry.
Sasuke smiled at me weakly and placed his hand on my cheek, wiping the tears away. "Don't be sad sis...I'm sure...that there are others...that have survived...from the infection...just...stay strong for me...Yo...ko..." Sasuke then closed his eyes, his hand dropping down to his side, and his head turning towards the other way as he let out his last breath. I gasped and placed my hands on both of his cheeks, shaking him. "Sasuke?! Please! C'mon...wake up...wake up..."
I then let go of him, and buried my face in my hands, beginning to cry. "S-Sa...su...ke..." I sniffled and looked back up at him, then got up, unbuckling his lifeless body from the seat, and picking him up into my arms. I went towards the back of the plane and grabbed one of the body bags and set it down, zipping it open.
I then placed Sasuke into the bag, took one last look at him, kissed his forehead, and zipped the bag closed, placing it into the disposal hatch, and pressed the button to release the bag out of the plane. I looked down at the blood from Sasuke on my hands, and clenched them into fist. "He's right...I gotta stay strong. In order to find other survivors...and Naruto...I must stay strong!"
