The feel of gravity slipped through my fingers and so did Gakupo's hand; his shouting which seemed so distant was floating away farther and farther. My eyelids would not budge to open and my adrenaline would not save me. I felt lonely but free, it was a really great feeling actually…it made me want it more and block out his voice more. The wind thrashed my hair around wildly and I could feel myself soar down towards the earth.
"Miki! Wake up, Miki!"
I felt someone's arms embrace around me and my mind forced my body to respond, busting my eyelids open to see Gakupo's face looking down as I felt our masses pull down fast. My eyes darted towards the approaching ground and I had to concentrate. I couldn't let my powers fail me just because of my worthless way of taking care of myself. Sometimes, I should just listen to people and just eat some nutrition.
"Let go of me and take hold of my hand!"
I yelled instantly and had the alien strength to push him away from me. So, that we were separated and he wouldn't be carrying me knit in his grasp. Something kicked in me, an ulterior survival instinct that made my feet float again. The bottom of my feet felt like rollerskates on air, I could feel the gliding feeling sort of like being on a surfboard. Staying steady, I threw my arm out towards him our distance was at least a little bit over an arm's length. My fingers wiggled to reach further as he swung his arm out towards mine. Our fingers half an inch of touching each other as I tugged his hand when I finally caught his masculine digits.
Everything was finally situated and it was under control. My feet felt like they were pushing me up towards the sky and less towards the ground.
"What just happened? Are you insane?"
Came a agitated outburst from Gakupo as he gazed over at me a bit curious. I couldn't help but roll my eyes slightly and shake my head, I had a simple explanation.
"No nutrition drains my energy. I need food to survive too."
"You refused to eat this morning."
"You woke me up early this morning; I wasn't in the mood for eating breakfast."
"That's an honest reason for almost smashing our heads on the earth, like watermelons?"
"I do think it's an important reason."
"You wouldn't have ate any-"
"I would have eaten if you hadn't disturbed my slumber…"
Gakupo didn't seem to have anything else to say as he merely turned his head away from me and looked straight ahead. Clouds passed through us like nothing though they left a small trickle of moisture on our arms. Not really knowing what else to say, I decided to concentrate on the objective to hunt down Sezar Tal'quin.
I had almost forgotten that my hand was jumbled with his and I didn't want to risk this samurai's life the second time. Seeing a small camp, I knew I had to slowly descend of which I pointed out quickly to Gakupo who already took notice.
"I spotted that a few minutes back."
He spat almost at me like he was angry which I didn't know why he would be angry at me. I had done nothing to cause him to be that way. Shrugging it off, my hand returned to my side and I felt the light feeling slowly decreasing as we floated in one place. Descending down to the ground, the sky leaving us and soon enough, their feet were on the ground. My hand instantly flew away from his and I started walking in the direction of Sezar Tal'quin.
"Why are you being so rude, que-Miki?"
The gaze he had felt like it was burying itself in my back and he had not moved from where we landed. Being on edge a little, I rest a hand on the strap of my SF-A2. Slightly turning my side towards him to stare at him quietly. There was a moment where I felt like scoffing and rolling my eyes, but the mission was on my and so was determination.
"Rude? I'm focusing now. It's not playground time, Gakupo-san."
It was all of a sudden, he got a serious expression on his face and nodded. As if giving up to argue with her and he started towards her. Both of them striding towards the terrorist camp in the distance.
_._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._._.
"Do you see him?"
Gakupo retorted quietly as we stood behind a humongous boulder and I sneakily peered out from behind the rock. Taking a quick peek at the camp as my eyes registered how many people were there and how dangerous the mission was. Quickly, I ducked my head behind the rock and faced my back towards it. Gakupo was crouching behind our hiding spot because the poor man's ancestors were giraffes.
By yes, I do know my earth animals!
"Sezar Tal'quin is in the green tent, with three followers equipped with machine guns. There is one guard in front of each of the three vehicles. The guards in front of the cars have shotguns and some have grenades in their pockets. The three followers also have knife holsters on their belts. They are land mines around the perimeter approximately five all around in a circle."
I said all in one breath, analyzing information in a scene was particularly easy for me. The purple-ponytailed man blinked surprised as he nodded slowly as if try to processing all the information. His eyes turned like stone and his head nodded once when he looked at me. I didn't know what to say, it was a really dead-drop serious expression.
"Got it. On the count of my fingers, we move in."
Gakupo said in a hushed tone as he put his index over his lips and he glanced over at me cautiously. Everything felt so dangerous from that point on, I didn't know what he was capable of and he didn't know what I was capable of. He moved the finger off of his mouth and put it behind where I could still see it, just more stealthily. He gestured one, then two and at last three.
Adrenaline kicked the both of us in gear as we split up and went different direction. Gakupo jolted to the right and towards the camp. I darted to the left and towards the cars. We had ulterior motives already set in our minds. He would get Sezar Tal'quin and I would take care of the henchmen.
Immediately, foreign war cried went in the air and bullets were shot towards me as I proceeded towards the cars. I would easily use my force field, but my low energy had to be put into consideration. I had to dodge and if I didn't, it would do damage. My feet pushed from side to side as I ran in the desert sand, my eyes and mind calculating how much I had to move to dodge bullets. My movements were super quick and swift, not a mistake in mind. The first guard in front of the black jeep watched me with utter amazement as I zipped my way past the shots he fired. Lifting SF-A2 up, I pointed it towards the mustached minion and held the trigger down for a few seconds. The bullets speeding towards the man as I shot him in the chest watching him fall to his death.
My attention had to be secure as I jumped out of the way to dodge a bullet that was close to grazing across my arm. Directing my eyes towards the next guard at a same black jeep. In an instant, I glided towards the goatee man like I was skating on ice, firing my machine gun off at him. The bullets attracted to him as they hit him in the head. One more down to go. There was shouting everywhere and gunshots going off all over the place. My gaze went towards the direction of the camp as I spotted Gakupo handling his job with ease. I realized the immense of power he had, it was overwhelming. He held out his katana with both of his hands, down the middle of the katana, it had this weird power surge of different colored energies flowing from the hilt to the tip of it. The small light-blue orb above his chest glowed an ocean blue brilliantly and his eyes almost looked the same. He seemed so strong, graceful, and consistent all at once.
I was caught way off guard when I felt something hit me below the chest. The pain was a bit agonizing, this is what a bullet must of felt like. My eyes now glared at the man who had fired at me and ignoring the pain, I charged towards him. My feet gliding on air this time and pouncing at him, at a quick rate. My hand balled up into a fist and trembled slightly from the mixture of anger and pain I felt. My body avoided the fast-coming bullets and when I reached the guard, my fist went straight for his head and I felt the force of my power, do something very gruesome. Red liquid flew smudged towards my face and my fist was still tightly gripped, enraged. I stood there knowing I had done my part of the mission and the other half would get completely successfully.
Limping away from my crime-scene, I managed to venture back towards the boulder which was one fourth of a mile away. In all this time, I'd thought Gakupo would be finished. Leaning my shoulder against the rock and skimming to the back of the boulder, I slugged down to sit down on the soft sand. A few uncomfortable breaths fled my mouth as I tried to keep myself upright. My hand lightly flew over the gun wound and my hand pushed against the area as hard as I could. Trying to give it extreme pressure so it would stop the blood that was seeping out. Well, I wouldn't exactly call it blood; it looked a bit gooey and more dark-red.
"What ha-happened? Are you…"
A voice without breath came out of nowhere as my eyes fluttered upwards trying to get a view of who I knew it was. Gakupo gasped for air trying to get his blood-flow in proper management as he instantly leaned down towards me. His large hands coming above mine, ready to help in any way he could.
"I-I'm fine."
Speaking with a twinge of pain in my voice as I narrowed my eyes. Easily stubborn to not have any sort of help he had to give me. I cringed lightly as he grabbed my hand insistently and I refused to move my hand from where the bullet had hit me. Looking up at him, wondering what kind of expression he would have as he turned a bit frustrated mixed with a hint of gentle warmth and sadness.
"No, you're not. Let me take care of you."
His eyes stared into mine earnestly as I shook my head, trying to usher him away.
"I am fi-fine. Please don't help me, I can take care of it myself."
My voice trembled with weakness as I sat up against the boulder, cringing again in the remaining pain. My stubborn attitude, still not swaying this samurai away. His face now flashed more anger then gentleness and sadness, as he set down my hand roughly beside the side of my body.
"NO, you are not fine. DO NOT reject my help. I am going to help."
He spoke in the most serious and stern voice I had ever heard, as he stared straight into me. His eyes had this fleck of vibrant kindness that made me swallow my ego and nod quietly. I actually didn't know what to say, and ended up looking off somewhere else. His touch was careful as he brushed his hand over the wound and his other hand rest on my stomach almost soothingly.
"This might hurt…If so I'm sorry."
Gakupo glanced up at me and then back down at where I had been shot. I could feel something wiggle in my skin and he slowly started to pull it out. Not really feeling any pain for some reason as I felt the bullet finally out of me. It was probably my body's defense system trying to not cause me any pain. The instant he took it out, the affected area started to heal and expand, as if nothing ever happened. So did my clothes, they also had a regenerating ability.
"You really are different…..Ah—Uhh…I didn't mean that in a bad way! I mean it's…uplifting that you did not get greatly hurt."
I raised an eyebrow and nodded a bit approvingly, my mind lingering on how soft his touch was. As well as pushing him away from me as far I can before I get too used to this.
"I understand. I usually do not get greatly hurt unless I am around any weaknesses. Just don't expect next time to let you do that again. I never let…anyone touch me."
I stood up trying to end the small talk as I dusted my dress off and my SF-A2 disappeared out of nowhere, noting how tired I was. Gakupo blinked as he watched me stand up, like he was pondering on something. I went ahead and started strolling slowly, hopefully he would get the message.
"Aren't we partners?"
"We may be, but I have the strength to deal with injuries myself. This one circumstance does not count."
"If this occurs a second time, Miki? What of it then?"
"Look."
I said in a hard tone as I turned around, facing the samurai. My hair following the wind's direction as I stared at Gakupo, not smiling at all. I was being sincerely serious and stern; by the way I was looking at him. Hopefully, he would get the message. I crossed my arms in a defensive and cold manner as I almost boredly glared at him. I had no bad feelings towards the man, none at all. It was the emotion I had to convey to get him to understand.
"I only work for Secret Area 7682 and that is all. Friends are meaningless and I see no use for them. I only need myself. You do not need me and I do not need you."
With that last bold statement, I turned back around and started heading back for base.
