AND HERE COMES THE ACTION… Please excuse my 's and s'. no matter how many times i learn it, it doesn't get through. TT^TT
Several soldiers promptly took over small areas, guns ready, and standing tall, ready for their leaders entrance.
"Well well well!" The deep voice called. "If it isn't such a lovely night for a party…"
Guaron casually walked into the room, spinning to look at all of his guests. He was wearing a tuxedo and white gloves, being sure to twirl his hands at people, a simple gesture of hello. His hair was greased back, but it still couldn't hide the wild look, seen clearly in his eyes. His smile started a fire inside Sousuke, one that was only growing, begging to explode.
"Welcome, welcome! Everyone, so glad you could join me, on this fabulous evening. Now, like all parties, we need a special guest, don't we?"
Kaname instantly felt both fear and anger tremble up her whole spine. The rest of Mythrils agents instantly knew, and began to slightly panic. With an entire room of hostages, there wasn't much they could do. Sousuke was trying desperately to seek some kind of a way out…
"Ah, but of course! Now lets see, a nice, fine young girl who everyone loves! Ah, who will be our lucky winner? Oh! I have just the idea! We happen to have a birthday girl in the room…"
Fear jolted up Kaname's body, tensing up and refusing to move. However possible, Sousuke had clearly noticed this and now had his hand placed over hers. She stared at him, and her heart calmed down. She didn't feel like an alone hostage being cornered anymore. He was here to protect her.
"Why, Kaname! Wont you join me up here?" He called to her, his sick smile twisting his face. She could feel her heart racing. What was she supposed to do? Her heart was racing and she could feel the fear beginning to emerge from her body, her hands were beginning to shake a little.
Sousukes grip on her only tightened, his eyes becoming narrow. How dare he call her out like that! He could feel the fire within him only heightening. He needed to calm down if he wanted any chance of no one being killed. He had to think of a way out of this. He had to think of how to get her as far away as possible from this place… and mostly Guaron.
"Now now, don't be hesitant. After all, we only have so much time… You wouldn't want to waste it, now would you?" He pointed to the clock on the wall, and proceded to shoot it. Everyone cringed at the sound of gunshot as the bullet broke through the clock allowing it to crash upon the floor shooting glass shards everywhere. Behind it was a different kind of clock. A clock whose numbers kept going down… and down… "All you have to do is come up here and we will give you some more time. I just want to talk to you… Unless you want to finish us all with a big bang!" He laughed at the thought, eyeing her evilly. She felt herself throw up a little. He was disgusting…
Just then, Sousuke stood up. Everyone stared, and kaname felt her heart jump. What was he possibly going to do?
"Im sorry but Kaname is currently with other guests right now, and this is a invite only party. Please make your way out." Sousuke demanded, trying to hide the anger in his voice.
"Oh, but I have an invitation." Guaron takes out his gun again, pointing it at Sousuke, but he doesn't flinch. "I just got it in the mail today, isn't it beautiful? When I showed this to the men at the door, they let me in without hesitation."
"Well then you'll have to excuse Kaname, but she's currently occupied with other people. You'll have to let me take your message instead."
Guarons smile was beginning to fade into a scowl.
"Sorry, but I only wish to speak with the girl."
Now Kurz stood up.
"You heard the kid. She's currently unavailable."
"Well now, that's a shame. She should spend time with all of her guests. After all, she wouldn't want some people leaving early, now would she?" Immediately Guarons soldiers clicked their guns, stabbing them against the heads of random people.
"No!" Kaname cried out, standing up herself. "I…I'll come. Please just don't…" Her whole body was shaking. She was terrified of this man, terrified of what he possibly would want with her now…
Her footsteps were the only sound in the whole building. Sousuke couldn't move. If he did now, Guaron might pull another trick. If he didn't, something bad was going to happen either way.
"You two… sit down." Guaron mocked. Sousuke refused but when Kaname turned around to face him, he did as he was told.
As soon as she was in range of Guaron, he grabbed her arm harshly, pulling her up next to him, an arm around both her shoulders. She was frightened and disgusted.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, our lovely Kaname Chidori is turning 18 today! Won't you clap for her?"
Frightened hostages did as they were told, small claps coming from a few tables.
"Now Giraskev, wont you come join me as well?"
A tall tan boy with black hair waltzed in. He was wearing a slightly less formal tuxedo, his tie undone and his white undershirt unbuttoned. For a split second kaname thought he was kind of… cute, but then it disappeared when she realized who exactly this was.
Sousuke had talked about this boy before… once.
Besides Wraith, did you know any others who joined Guaron that you were friends with?
He sighed deeply. She was bringing up memories he didn't exactly want to think about. Realizing this, she recanted.
"Sorry… I just…"
"No. It's probably for the best. In case he tries anything." His hand went through his scruffy hair and then back onto his knee. He glanced up at the park, the fall leaves dancing around in the wind, colors painting the air. They were sitting next to each other on a bench, far from the school and apartments. It was Somewhere they could be together alone.
"His name is Giraskev. He's a skilled fighter I was pretty good friends with. If you call it that… he was my age, and his older brother was Wraith. So, of course, when Wraith joined Guaron…"
"He followed."
"Affirmative. But I defeated Wraith. And I know he will come to take revenge, somehow. I just don't want you to be caught up in it."
"I see…Do you think hell come after you?"
"If he does, itll be with Guaron. I know that much."
That was all they had discussed.
Her heart was racing, her eyes locked on Sousuke. He didn't dare break eye contact, trying to tell her he would get her out of there. She knew he would, but that determined gaze made her feel all the more safe. That is, until a different boy was standing in front of her. He was taller than sousuke, that was for sure, and he shadowed over her, making her even more nervous.
"Well now that youre here, well be taking you somewhere very special for your birthday." Guaron eyed her. She refused to show him fear, despite how nervous she really was. His smile faded a little. "I guess we should be going then." He began to pull her, but she refused, desperate to escape from his grasp.
"Sousuke!" She didn't mean to cry out his name, but it was what her body did when she was scared. She always called out for him. Unfortunately, this only made Sousuke more angry. He felt trapped. He felt helpless. And he hated it.
Guaron grabbed her by the hair, and she retreated due to the unexpected pain as he pulled her against him, covering his mouth.
"Now now little girl, don't you know its rude to ignore your guests? After all, if we don't leave before the timer runs out, well all die. And you don't want that, do you?"
Kaname didn't know what else to do. In the position they were in, she knew Sousuke wouldn't be able to rescue her without the risk of killing innocent people. She gave up. There was nothing else they could do.
When Guaron felt her body ease, he released her, knowing she would no longer try anything.
"Now, if you don't mind, princess, were going to take some extra precautions, to secure your safety. Giraskev pulled her arms harshly back, trying them in place. She didn't even try to stop him.
Suddenly the wind began to pick up, the doors swinging wildly.
"Well, it appears our ride is here."
The helicopter lowered itself slowly, but the wind was too much for the glass to hold. Suddenly windows crashed, the wind sending glass shards like bullets across the room, scathing and piercing many innocent people caught in its path. Giraskev stood in front of kaname, silently watching as others cried out in pain.
Sousuke was standing again, facing the material head on, never daring to flinch as the pieces scraped him, and dug into his skin. This was minor pain. He was so focused on Kaname, he couldn't even feel it.
The wind was still high, and so guaron shouted. "It was a pleasure spending this evening with you all! If were lucky, maybe we'll-!" But Guaron didn't get to finish as the clock bomb loudly turned off.
That was the signal. Sousuke, Mao, and Kurz ran for Kaname, Sousuke out running them all. They were already in the helicopter, its whirl wind blades getting faster as the huge machine began to lift off the ground once again. As it left the balcony, Sousuke ran, jumping onto the ledge, and pushing himself towards the helicopter.
Kaname could only watch as he seemed to fly towards her, her heart nearly stopping as she feared he wouldn't make it, and would fall and be killed.
All she could see was his hand reaching, still in mid air as everything seemed to go in slow motion. She could hear her heart pounding, watching as Guaron slowly turned to see Sousuke.
The helicopter swayed as his hand grabbed the legs of the helicopter, swinging himself up. He went for Kaname but was quickly pushed back by Giraskev. She screamed out as he fell over, making the helicopter sway back and forth from the lost weight, sending Giraskev and her onto the floor. There was the sound of breaking trees below.
As soon as they were stable, he looked over the edge, and smirked.
"Looks like we wont be having any more trouble."
He then picked her back up, sitting her down across from them where she had originally been placed.
Her mind began to ramble. No… there's no way. She was sure even Sousuke couldn't handle a 130ft fall like that… He… he wasn't dead. No. He had a plan or something. Maybe he landed on the AS and was about to save her like he always did. Yeah. That had to be it. Of course. Hed appear any second now, like he always did.
…Right?
"Shame. I wanted to kill him myself. Ah well, I suppose it saves us the hassle for later. After all, we do have you to deal with first."
Guaron's eyes seemed to stab her in place. For the first time in a while, kaname was scared.
No… she had been scared before, but not like this.
She was terrified.
Even if, by some miracle, Sousuke had survived the fall, he would be severely injured. Second, they would have no idea where she was, except for the fact Guaron had her.
She was going to be at his mercy for some time.
And she was dead frightened by it.
She would have never been alone with Guaron for so long before. She had never been with him long enough for him to do anything to her, except run those tests that one time a while ago.
His eyes were the creepiest thing about this man, the way he could look at you. The psychotic unnerving insanity you could see was down right creepy. And he was definitely not making her any more comfortable right now.
"Well then, it looks like things are going to go my way, as usual. Only I suppose it wont be as fun without Kashim give us a visit. Oh, and sorry about ruining such a lovely day for you. But don't worry. The fun isn't over yet."
Mao and Kurz watched for any sign of Sousuke. They had begun to see him jump when the terrorists began shooting at them from the places around the resturaunt. Next thing they hear, Kaname is screaming his name, and a crash into the trees. They rushed over to see the helicopter flying away, Sousuke nowhere in sight.
Meanwhile, Kalinin had contacted the police, who burst in. Suddenly realizing they were outnumbered, the Terrorists took off out through the balcony (where the helicopter had been) and disappeared into the night. Fortunately Kurz was able to shoot one down. The rest of the Mythril agents began to calm the restaurant, informing the threat was gone.
The ones who wouldn't calm down however, were the students, still scared from seeing their friend taken like that.
Tessa informed them Kaname would be fine, and that they would send professionally trained agents after her, like they always do. This calmed them a little more, and they began going home. Everyone was tired and still in shock.
Tessa looked out to the forest from the shattered windows.
Souske… Kaname…
