Chpt. 2 Unwilling To Die

Eira sighed as the dirty smell of smoke flooded her nose, making the pounding behind her eyes instantly increase. How someone could put up with that smell constantly was beyond her. She walked into the kitchen and began to put away the groceries that she had bought in earlier.

"I hope none of this went bad…" She muttered to herself as she placed the milk and cheese in the refrigerator. Ice blue eyes glanced out the window at the back of Highwind's head. What was that man up to? He had a black talking box held up to his ear; the voice that replied to the blond was lower in pitch but not as low as the dark man's. Static could be heard now and then, making the voice slightly difficult to understand. Keeping her eyes on the back of his head, she placed the bread in the pantry.

"I can't fuckin' believe him! Not telling me that he was sick! We could have come up against some fuckin' big ass monster and then he could have gone out on me. I'd be fuckin' dead!" The blond yelled off into the small box next to his ear as he paced back and forth on the grass outside. The sun was shifting into late afternoon. Night should get going soon or he was going to be mad at her for making him starve again. Eira sighed; maybe she should sneak out for her.

"Breathe Cid, it's all right. Vincent wasn't always open; he has been working a lot lately trying to find us information. He could have stressed himself out." There was a calm, low voice on the other side of the box. She could barely here it, but it was there. It sounded a lot like his voice.

"I don't fuckin' care! He is such an irresponsible-" Eira snapped her ears away from him when the door down the hallway open and closed. The thumps of her steel toe boots echoed as she walked down to main room. As Night came into view she was stripping down out of the black jacket and setting it on the small jacket hanger back the back door.

"Eira would you put on some tea?" She sighed after a moment. Eira looked out the window once more before she picked up the kettle and began to fill it with water.

"He's going to be mad at you again…" A smirk graced her lips as she placed the tin tea pot back on the stove, and turned the burner on high. "I think I can hear his stomach growling from here." Night sighed again as she walked away from the door shaking her head before coming into the kitchen to look at the brunette from a moment.

"He'll live… It won't be the first time I'm late." The dark haired woman shrugged slightly. "Did you get everything on my list? Or did you forget my Hi-potions again?" Eira rolled her eyes as she glared at the stove. Why the hell did she put it on the damn machine in the first place? Growling she picked up the kettle and turned off the stove.

"Fire 2….Yes I got them…I'm not that stupid…I'd rather not have you force me to kill dinner for you again." Ice blue eyes rose to meet golden brown eyes for a moment. "I don't know how you do it…" She shook her head as the stopped the fire spell. "But whatever. Water's ready." She could hear Night cross her arms in that annoyed style she has when Eira did something she knew she shouldn't have. O right, the casting of free ranged magic.

"How many times do I have to tell you, not in town?" Eira's right eye brow rose slightly.

"What? The stove was taking too long…"

"I swear-" Well at least the man outside was useful for something. The door opened from the outside as Highwind walked back into the house, cursing under his breath. No lecture this time around. Night turned her head to look at him. The brunette could see him through the small opening between the cabinets on the wall that faced the living room. "Your friend should be alright, Mr. Highwind." Eira's ice blue eyes snapped around too look at the dark haired doctor. Did I even introduce him? Oo, you are so going to be explaining a lot of things later, Night. "He seems to just be a little over worked that's all. A good nights rest and a hot meal should do him good."

"That's it?" The blond man looked at her for a moment before flopping down in a chair Night waved him to sit in.

"More or less…" Eira couldn't hear them talking now, since she was no longer interested in what was going on enough to look. Night must have sat down too at some point of their talking. "However, I don't believe a stress attack is your reason for visiting such an out of place village."

"Yes, Doctor-"

"Night is fine…"

"The WRO sent us to check out the old facility up in these mountains. The villagers sent us here. None of them seem to know how to get there. It would save the two of us a lot of time if you can give us anything."

"Yes, I see… The villagers here tend to stay away from a lot of things Shinra brought over from the main land. I was amazed they let me use most of the equipment I have in my office..." Night turned slightly in her chair; Eira could here the slight movement of her body. "Eira, is the tea ready?"

"Yeah…" She carried a small silver tray with the three cups, the tea pot, sugar and cream. The brunette gently placed cups in front of both Night and Highwind, and poured the tea. After placing the tray in the center, Eira sat down and waited for Highwind to take what he needed before she poured generous amounts of sugar and cream into her tea, turning it a dark ivory color. The man seemed to relax a bit from whatever had him stressed. Eira leaned back in the soft chair nursing her tea which the deathly pale doctor didn't even move to drank hers, the untainted tea cup just sat in her hand.

"I've been up near the facility. When I first came here I explored the surroundings of this village. Many of them looked after my sister while I was gone…" Night said calmly.

"How far is it from here?"

"A day on foot, but I wouldn't recommend going at night. The monsters on the mountains are mostly nocturnal. If you have forest Chocobos half a day at best." Night shrugged slightly. Highwind sat back a bit on the couch thinking.

"If Vincent is up for it tomorrow….." He mumbled to himself slightly before his blue eyes met the golden brown ones. "Would you mind showing us up there? President Reeve wants to make sure the facility is no longer in use. We have two gold Chocobos."

"…Tomorrow yes, if your companion is feeling better…" Night nodded. "I'd like to keep him here tonight for observations. There is no Inn here, I would not mind if you stay here the night." The man nodded.

"Mighty kind of ya, Doc."

"Night."

"Whatever…" Highwind stood for a moment. "I guess there is one thing I can do today through without that damn vamp. Could you point me in the direction of the Mako reactor? Your Elder told me it was still running. I'd like to shut it down."

"I would, but I have another patient to see to before the day is over. One of the women here is in her later stage of pregnancy." Night shook her head. "But my sister can show you the way." Eira was barely able to bite down the growl that rose in her throat; however, she knew it was a lost cause, seeing that Night heard it anyway.

"Do you know how cold it's going to get tonight? Do you want me to freeze my ass off?" Ice blue eyes bore into amused golden brown ones. "Just because you're acceptable to the cold doesn't mean I am…." Even though the brunette knew the true reason for Night sending her, it didn't help any that the temperature was dropping into the low 40's tonight. And the amused light in Night's eyes only pissed her off more.

"Three years and your blood still hasn't thickened…" Night laughed. "Forgive my sister's remark; we came from a warmer climate. She'll be happy to take you. May not look like it, but she enjoys a little adventure once in a while."

"Are you alright sending your-"

"Yes, yes. I see the villagers told you. She's fine now, very impressionable with some things…like language……."

"Hehe." Highwind scratched the back of his head slightly when her eyes glared at him momentarily. "Noticed."

"Hey! It's not my fault if the first two words I learned after that damn poisoning were 'fuck you'."

xXxXxXxXx

"What in the fuckin' hell was the Doc thinking letting her barely recovered sister guide a stranger to an old Mako reactor at night?" Eira's eyes narrowed as she tried to ignore the mumblings of the blond behind her. I could kick your fucking ass if I wanted to, and Night couldn't do anything to save you. She thought, silently answering his question. Highwind had been talking and mumbling non stop since they left the house. Even though they were almost there, it was starting to grade on the brunette's nerves. She wouldn't deny that she wanted something big to happen, just to change the pace a little. But this wasn't what the brunette had in mind. The light from the setting sun was blocked out by the trees as they continued through the dark woods. Thankfully, there was no wind, but it didn't stop Eira from shivering as she clutched her long jacket closer, crossing her arms in front of her chest. "How can anyone fuckin' see anything? It's so damn dark." She didn't bother to hide her growl this time.

"Look Highwind, I'm only doing this for Night, and the last time I checked, listening to your complaints wasn't part of the bargain." Eira stopped and turned around to glare at the man, smirking inwardly when she saw shock register on his face. "And even though you don't see any monsters doesn't mean that they aren't here, and it's really hard to hear them if only thing I can hear is you. So I'd appreciate it if you would be quiet so that I can concentrate for when they decide to come out and eat you." She turned and continued to walk towards the reactor, and smirked when she heard his teeth grind together. His heavy footsteps soon began to follow hers again, as she tried to ignore his mumblings about a kid telling him what to do. The reactor itself really wasn't that far away from the village, a twenty minute walk. Looking over her shoulder, blue eyes looked in the general direction on the facility. He wasn't going to like this…..not at all. The building wasn't all that big; however the Mako from the pool below cast the normally rusted brown metal in an eerie green. Cid whistled lowly as she opened the door and led him in. The walls were made of a light grey metal, with pipes crawling up and down the walls. There was a set of stairs that led down to a computer consol at the other end of the small room and the Mako that swam beneath the small catwalk like staircase had Eira blinking from the transition from the darkness to almost full light. She led the blond pilot down the stairs and moved out of the way so that he could make his way towards the large screen. The light tapings of the keyboard soon echoed off the metal walls, and Eira looked up at the screen.

"Can't believe anyone had a record on this fuckin' reactor! I wonder how many others are hiding around the god damn planet that we don't know about." The older man cursed to himself as he worked on the small keyboard. The dials on the consol moved a bit. Eira sighed as she leaned against the railing look down at the pooling Mako below. She always loved the eeriness of the greenish blue liquid.

I hope he's not scared of the dark…

"OK…that ought to do it…." Cid sighed as the computer screen went dark, and the high pitched humming stopped. He turned around and began to climb the stairs, not looking back to see the brunette just standing there. Eira stared at the screen, making it look like she was lost in thought, listening as the pilot's heavy footsteps slowly faded. Glancing over her shoulder, she walked over the desk, and stuck her hand under the consol. Her fingers moved around until she found what she was looking for.

"Thirty minutes shouldn't be too bad…." She muttered to herself as her fingers push some of the buttons on the small box that came down off the keyboard.

"Hey kid, what the hell is taking you so fuckin' long to get your puny ass up here?" Eira growled as she heard the box beep once. She could hear him walking back to the stair way, bending down Eira quickly undid her shoe lace.

"Chill, Highwind, my shoelace was untied." He reappeared at the top of the stair way, hands on his hips.

"It takes you that fuckin' long to tie a damn shoe lace?" Eira rolled her eyes as she finished tying her shoelace, and began to climb the stairs.

"Yes it does…don't get your panties in a wad, old man." Cid growled and turned around.

xXxXxXx

The room spun around him as he twirled the chair around. The pod door whizzed in and out of his line of sight, followed by the desk and the metal table, only to be repeated again.

"When's Night gonna get here? I'm starving!" His words echoed off the walls as his head fell back against the chair, navy blue eyes watching the ceiling turn in small circles. Black spiky hair fell off the edge of the chair, lifted slightly from the momentum of the chair. A growl erupted from the room, echoing off the metal walls. "Don't yell at me! It's not my fault she's late again!" Blue eyes stared at the black sweater that covered his stomach. "What keeps her anyway? It's not like she actually eats the food she makes for me and Eira." He scratched his wrist; the two small punchers weren't as red as they had been before. He stopped the chair as he stared at the two holes for a second before he lost interest and began to twirl again.

"Come on!" With that, his stomach growled again, and the lights suddenly cut off sending him suddenly into darkness. The chair stopped as he sat up. "Aww man!"

xXxXxXx

Cid lit another cigarette as he stood by the door that led outside waiting for the young doctor's sister to come up from the lower level. Stupid girl had one hellova smart mouth. Couldn't see where she got it from though. It didn't seem Doctor Night lacked manners; maybe the younger sister just didn't want to develop them? Actually for the two girls, they seemed a little out of place for this small village. Cid could probably place them more for somewhere like Red XIII's canyon town or maybe even that snowy mountain village by the crater. The two didn't seem fit for such an out of place village. Then again Cid wasn't going to criticize the older sister for wanting to look after her ill sister. The glowing ice eyes were creepy a little. But he had seen it before in Cloud that boy's eyes glowed in the dark too, like this ones. A sign of being showered in Mako, or submerged in it in this girl's case; Vincent's eyes did that sometimes too except those red eyes would probably be the only ones the old pilot would rather not have come sneaking up on him. The first time the man did that almost gave him a heart attack but now over time Cid had gotten use to it. Annoyed older blue eyes looked at the brunette finally coming up the stairs to where he was; Cid flicked his cigarette to knock it clean.

"Take your fuckin' time will ya? Didn't your sis say to be back before it got too dark?" Eira sighed and rolled her eyes as the blond led her out.

"Ya ya…" Because she wants to go see him…poor guy… The cool night breeze blew her small bangs out of her face when Highwind opened the door. Eira shut it firmly behind her, however a low pitched growl had her head snapping up, ice blue eyes scanning the area. What th- Her thoughts were cut off when something jumped down from the trees and almost landed on Highwind, had he not jumped back.

"Fuckin'! What the fuck?!" A long spear was suddenly in his hands as he tried to defend both himself and the brunette behind him. Eira stared at the……thing in front of her. What in the seven fucking hells was that doing here? Cid had managed to get some distance between them, the two standing there staring at each other. The thing had the lower body of a huge dog and four heads: a lion, eagle, and something that looked like a very disturbing lizard. The end of its tail came up, and resembled a snake's head. The thing must have gotten inside somehow, how she could've missed it going in was beyond her. Highwind let out a yell as he jumped and speared the thing, however he didn't pay attention to the tail, and it bit him in the shoulder. Eira growled as she threw her jacket back, and grabbed the two twin daggers that were strapped to her thighs. Knowing her luck, the thing was poisonous. After strapping them on, she pulled out the last antidote that she had on her.

"Shit!" Highwind was thrown off, and landed only a few feet from her. It was sad, when an old man with a damn long spear couldn't defend himself. "Cure 2." The spell left her lips as she rushed up to him, and thrust the small vile into his hands. "Don't do that again!" Not waiting for him to answer, she rushed forwards with her arms rising to cover her face slightly. The monster didn't seem to care about the whole that it now carried on its back and rushed towards her to meet her. Her blades turned in her hands slightly as she moved to block the snake head that came down at her first. It had been moving back and forth ready to strike since it bit Cid. The snake teeth clamped down on her blade, snarling. Eira stopped and jumped back swinging her other dagger over to cut off the snake head. Purple blood came spraying out at her as she cut the head off. The head still stayed snapped on her blade through.

"Eww, gross…." Eira shook her weapon trying to get it off. A sudden magic field tore past her as the older man cast Fire 3 on the mutated animal.

"Girl, keep your fuckin' eyes on that mother fuckin' monster!" Cid growled before he ran out and tried to stab the lion's head however the eagle caught the end in its beak. Eira's eyes widened as she watched Highwind being tossed around like a rag doll. The only thing that kept the man in contact with the long ass stick was the iron like grip he had. Ignoring the urge to giggle, she threw the head off of her dagger and rushed up, slashing at the eagle's head until it let go of Cid's weapon, sending the pilot flying. She continued to slash and dodge the heads until she cut the eagle's head off, the lion roaring loudly before it began to try and attack the brunette. A smirk played at her lips however it disappeared when something came up behind her. She turned to dodge it; however wasn't fast enough, and the snake head bit deeply into her shoulder. Biting her lip, she slashed the head off again. Hadn't she already cut it off? The head that lay at her feet looked a hell of a lot worse then the first one. But how could it be back if she cut it off? Blue eyes widened as the answer hit her. She heard Highwind running and jumping behind her. Eira rolled her eyes as a sigh escaped her lips.

"Fuck…." How the hell was she supposed to kill something that could grow back body parts? Already the eagle's head was mostly reformed, again looking worse then the first one, the snake's head not too far behind it. "Highwind, it can grow its body parts back!" Tired blue eyes glared at her before he jumped back, with the brunette not far behind him. She slammed her blades back into their holders, and pulled out her one cylinder gun. Aiming it at the snake's head, she shot, only to have it grow back, more mutated then the one before. "Fuck…." Her shoulders dropped in irritation.

"Screw it!" Cid reached into his back pocket, and pulled out a bright red stick with a wick at the end. Blue eyes narrowed in confusion as he placed the wick against the cigarette that he had clenched between his teeth. The wick sparked, and instantly the wick got shorter in length. He threw it into the eagle's mouth, the head instantly swallowing it. A moment of silence passed before the beast exploded sending purple goo in every direction. Eira's nose crinkled at the smell as Highwind let out a yell. "Take that you mother fuckin freak of fuckin' nature!"

"What the….?" Eira looked over at him confused still. What in the hell did he just use? Cid slapped her on her back.

"That, my girl, would be the best fuckin' thing man has ever invented! Dynamite!" He was lighting a new cigarette since his old one got covered in purple goo. The blond gave her another pat on her back as he studied her. "Good job kid… You're a lot stronger then I thought you were. Come on now; let's get back to that cabin before your sis starts to freight over you." Cid walked passed her back the way to town. Eira smiled to herself, feeling like she had accomplished something. She would have to remember to ask Night what this was called later. But first…. The brunette turned back to the old looking reactor, straining her ears to her the light humming noise start up again.

It was only thirty minutes, but he knows something is up now…
