Chapter 7
Nai was having the time of his life hiding from Tsukumo and so when he saw the air vent He didn't hesitate to go in it. He was having do much fun that he didn't even see the vent stop and so after a couple minutes of shuffling in the cramped space, he found himself freefalling through the air.
He felt so light in those short ten seconds that he laughed and smiled before he realized his impending doom of getting splattered on the rocks below. He screamed trying to get a person to save him. He felt his eyes widen at a memory that came to him.
It was the master laughing at him while he kneeled in pain and fear, "No one will ever save you, pet."
He screamed even louder his voice becoming hoarse and could feel his tears streaming down his face only to get brushed back by the wind.
The wind. It was so loud, it roared in his ears, it was all he could hear. It was overwhelming, he couldn't see. His breathing became ragged and fast. But then he could hear himself screaming and he could the ground becoming bigger till all he could see was the Earth.
He was going to die.
Far away, a man who was looking out of a window laughed. It wasn't a laugh that made you want to laugh and smile, it was one that made you want to curl up in a ball and sob until you had no more tears to shed.
"Go, he is a precious experiment, after all. While you're at it give him a warning too." The man smiled then walked away from the window to disappear from site.
"Where's Nai?" Yogi asked worried, they hadn't able to find the said boy.
Gareki grunted and shrugged before cocking his head to the side, "Do you hear that?"
The people in the room frowned in concentration as they tried to hear what the raven had heard.
"I think I do, Gareki. It sounds like screaming doesn't it?" Tsukumo asked softly.
The teenager addressed nodded before asking, "Can we go outside to make sure it's not him?"
The small girl nodded and started walking out of the room but paused at the door. "I'm not sure you can come, you might escape."
"Why would I?" He countered.
She thought for a moment and he rushed past her saying, "Exactly."
Yogi and Cas quickly followed them out of the room, jogging but then started sprinting when the screams got louder. Gareki was in the lead with Tsukumo hot on his heels, then came Yogi and Cas who were catching up.
When they reached the end of the hallway, Tsukumo bent down that way Gareki could hop on her back. Yogi did the same for Cas.
After a slight hesitation from Gareki to get on someone's back, they were ready to take off but a shout stopped them, "Wait! Take me with you!"
Yogi and Tsukumo turned around to find Kya breathing heavily but looking at them with a face that told them there was no room to reject her request. Yogi bent down for a second time and she hopped on with Yogi barely showing any signs that indicated it was too much for him.
He was going to die.
That was Nai's thought before he felt arms wrap around his small waist and he was lowered to the ground that had almost taken his life two seconds ago. Once his feet touched the ground, Nai turned around to face the person who had saved his life.
Only to find one of those creepy monsters staring at him with an insane glint. "A-ah!"
He stumbled away and tripped on his own feet in his fear. It approached him taking slow deliberate steps until it's shadow loomed over Nai who shrank, trembling.
"Stay away from Nai!" Came a shout and Nai instinctively knew it was Tsukumo.
All of a sudden, right in front of his eyes, a sword covered in vines appeared in the abdomen of the creature which let out a piercing scream that seemed to shatter the air itself.
Gareki ran over to Nai and made sure that he was okay. When there seemed to be nothing but a slight bruise from when he had tripped over himself, Gareki scowled, but didn't say anything.
"Watch out, there's more!"
Yogi straightened and narrowed his eyes at the surroundings because of the warning Tsukumo sent.
He stiffened as he sensed something moving and got into position to guard Gareki and Nai as they were the closest to him. Cas and Kya was protected by Tsukumo who had her fists in front of her ready to strike.
A varuga launched itself at Yogi who tried to stab it but it manage to dodge his strike and get behind him.
"He is angry. He says come back and not punished. Don't come back, punished." It said before being stabbed by Yogi who was puzzled at its message. He didn't even know who it was for. He was so confused that he didn't notice Gareki grow pale and breathe harder.
Tsukumo dealt with the one who had attacked her and, indirectly, Cas and Kya. She noticed Yogi's confusion and approached him to ask but was stopped by Hirato who had come to help them.
"Just what happened here?"
Everyone looked at Nai who said, "I saw the vent and climbed in it but then I just fell out. And then it appeared."
He left out that it had saved his life.
"Hey one of them said something before I killed it. Said something like, he is angry and will punish or something. Do you know what it means?" Yogi asked.
"No, but maybe Gareki or Ky- Gareki!" Hirato responded calmly until the end.
Gareki had just fainted and crumbled to the rocky ground.
