A/N: I was on tumblr on Junjou Romantica, and I kept dying of cuteness! Anyway, hope you enjoy! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Lol, I got a new puppy and now I'm going to make him watch my Junjou Romantica Marathons with me! He's going to love it. Probably going to name him Usagi. I'm NOT going to do Misaki's POV except for a couple sentences. Its too long…
Akihiko's POV
I stepped into the elevator once more, this time where the 2 was glowing blue. The door slid close once more and I heard the electronically voice come back. "Sector 2 is emitted for danger. Be aware of your surroundings and keep all weapons armed at all times. Danger ratio percentage: 100%."
So it seems like Sector 2 is also bad, maybe even worse.
The door slid open and shivers sped down my back in a race. I stepped out, my footsteps crunching. My eyes widened. My hand held out, I breathed and I could see it. There was snow, it was falling. It reminded me of the city, it felt like years since I've seen it.
I missed it, considering it was depressing maybe, and maybe dangerous. But I couldn't help myself, after trying to be killed countless times.
There were cliffs on either side, blocking any adventuring from outside the path. Nothing else but snow. A couple branches here and there. There sky was blue and filled with clouds. I closed my hand into a fist. I swear I would survive, and then I'll tell Misaki that I love him. A billion times I will.
Stepping through the snow was more difficult than it seemed and I knew it would ail me from being fast enough to dodge attacks. Holding my gun with both hands I continued to walk. The snow suddenly busted and I saw as a small purple creature with ice spikes comes from its body, which strangely resembled the one in Sector 1, had jumped out. We seemed to have a stare down, until it decided to dart around the place.
Damn thing. I stood in place, and tried to aim. Once I had a clear shot, after its collective pause I shot. It exploded and fell to the ground. Blood like gush flooding the snow. Filthy. I loaded my gun once more and began to walk once more.
The ground began to shake and small worms began to sprout from them. Slithering their way towards me, thank god at a slow pace. And I tried to evade one as it tried to bite my foot. I lifted my head and smashed it in the snow. The body squirming around, it felt weird against my foot but I held in place and aimed. Shooting at it and it stopped. Blood filling the snow. I began to shoot all the worms and they all stopped slithering.
Seeing something slither always made me want to throw up. It was gross. It was abnormal.
Walking some more I saw a see through elevator to my left. Wondering if I should go to the elevator or not I looked ahead of me. Dead end. Sighing, I walked to the elevator and stepped into the platform as it began to ride me up.
Finally coming to a stop I looked below. White landscape everywhere. It was like looking at a completely white screen.
Stepping out of the elevator I looked ahead of me. The door across from the large water feature was red. Locked I supposed and it seemed as though I had to unlock it.
I saw a large water lake, and there was a platform. Looking into the water I saw nothing, it was foggy. It seemed like I was on my own. In the middle I noticed a staircase. An invitation to enter the water? Stepping back a couple of steps, I began to run, building speed. I let me last footstep charge my jump and I landed on the platform drifting on the water, it bobbing ever so roughly. I balanced myself, as well as the platform and I stepped towards the staircase. Landing on it I knew I would have to hold my breathe for how long so I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
Stepping into the icy cold water was worse than the heavy humidity in the last Sector. The water coursing my body.
Opening my violet eyes, the water was a bit murky but I could see a few feet in front of me. My gun was useless under water so I clutched the handle and flipped it so the gun was inside and the sword outside. Holding my breathe I looked around. Nothing much to go off of, but I saw a green light at the left of me. Where the platform was.
Making my way towards it, nothing appeared, thankfully. I could barely hold my breathe any longer but I had to and felt even colder. Seeing the green glowing button, I smashed it and the water began bubbling.
Trying to keep my eyes opened, I saw the platform go under water. And just barely in my eyesight, I saw one suddenly form and raise. That raising platform was the one that was just after the staircase.
It was the one that would allow me to make it. But how would I unlock the door?
As the bubbles halted, I saw a pair of glowing neon red eyes staring at me. I didn't know what it was, but until I saw the long, gilled body and the opened fanged mouth I got my sword ready. That fish thing wasn't the only one I realized. And when I saw the other pairs, I opened my mouth. Air releasing.
My lungs couldn't take the lack of air, or the fact that I was holding it, but I was somehow still surviving. Not by much though.
Clutching my sword, the mouth charged at me and I held the sword in front of me and shoved it in its mouth. Quickly pulling it out, I tried to run. Very slow at that. While the fish were catching up to me. I knew I would have to kill all of them but I had to get some air. Clutching the sword tighter, I grabbed my chest and clutched tightly as well. I fell a tiny bite at my shoulder blade, and it hurt like hell.
Quickly swerving around, sadly it was still on my back. I tried shaking it off, which was probably the dumbest idea right now.
Suddenly an idea came to mind. While it was busy tearing chunks of skin of my shoulder, I backed up as quickly as I could into a metal wall. It screeched and I moved my hand to hold it down and I sliced its head off.
To the staircase.
I stepped onto the first stair and climbed my way. Gasping for air, I felt it receive my call. Gasping and breathing I fell on my knees. Damn. I had to go back down there. For the button to unlock the door and to kill them all. Latter first.
After several minutes of catching air, I dived back in. the icy water not taking effect anymore. Slicing at their necks took me a while but I succeeded after several half hours I believe. I looked around for anything that could possibly unlock the door. A button, a key? Anything?
I walked underneath the platform and I noticed a tiny red glowing button. I reached my hand up there and pushed it. A click was heard and I ran back to the surface. Breathing for air once more I looked at the door. Open.
Jumping on the platform and the bouncing the door, it slid open and I walked inside.
It was still snowing, and I was freezing my ass off. After going under icy cold water it wasn't exactly a picnic when you jumped out. Into icy cold weather. Sighing I walked into the snow. There was a shallow river of water with a large branched draping across it. Many sticks stood out from the snow, they were sharp and looked poised.
Walking to the center of the snowy landscape, a screech sounding like a monkey echoed behind the snowy cliffs. Suddenly I looked to my right, and a monkey jumped out. A large one at that. It wore a yellow and white outfit with something on the back of it that had four thick long cables sticking out from it. Poised at me, they were stretching far past the monkey's face. Swerving this way and that.
It began screeching and I closed my eyes, gripping my gun tightly. My ears were ringing and I looked up to see the monkey no longer there.
I turned around but didn't completely turn around when I saw a cable hit me on the side of my face and I found myself on the floor. My back was moist and it was probably blood, I was slammed into the cliff.
I stood up and cracked my back. Even that hurt. Trying to track down the jumping monkey was too difficult. I felt myself become light, I was thinking I was being hit once more until I looked down. Nothing. Nothing but a strange door opened and I fell through. Again?
I was in a black room once more. Déjà vu happening, and suddenly two screen turned on. "Well, you sure look terrible." I scowled. "what the hell? Where am I?" Haruhiko smiled. "well, since I feel pitiful for you, I'll let you have some help. After all, that monkey is actually on of my succeeded." and the screen turned off. I felt something grab my hand and I recognized it immediately.
"Misaki…" I breathed out and I tightened my hold on the hand. I wasn't able to say or do anything else because by the time I opened my eyes again, snow was falling and a monkey jumping in the snow. I stood up and saw as Misaki ran in the middle of the snow, closing in on the over active monkey. I was speechless, after so long of seeing me, all he could do was charge at the enemy. But then I decided to do same, because there really was no time for some hugging.
I saw a white flash and I saw the lethal look in his eyes, his arm had been transformed into black sword. The one I knew all too well. Since shooting wouldn't work, it seemed he was thinking up close and personal. I nodded and I saw him nod back.
The monkey was stretching one of his cables at Misaki and another one at me. I dodged it and I stared on as Misaki, instead of jumping out of the way, had his blade fighting against the cable. Misaki was taking a chance at it, but the friction of both caused a spark and sent Misaki flying back.
Misaki flew back, but never left his feet. Slowly making his way to a stop, one hand on the snow, he stood up. And I saw him mutter words and I saw as his body slowly transformed into steel.
Steel… I would probably have to help little in this.
Misaki, coated in steel, charged at the dancing monkey. The monkey stood still it sent its cables flying at Misaki. I couldn't help but interrupt the fight by slicing off a cable. Misaki sprinted through the other ones, dodging them like it was nothing.
Misaki stopped in front of the stunned monkey who was speechless as he had seen one of the cables cut. Raising his blade, he stabbed the monkey. The monkey screeched as blood came from its mouth. Splashing over Misaki's face.
I saw the blood slowly burn its way into Misaki's face, acid blood… of course. I wanted to race to the boy, but I couldn't. I couldn't interrupt him.
Misaki turned back to normal, and the monkey jumped back. Weakened he looked at me, and suddenly a cable was shooting its way toward me. Misaki looked stunned and so did I. I stood there, not moving. Not even breathing. I think..
But I would have rather died than having watched Misaki put himself in-between us two, and watch as he turned to steel and see as the cable shot straight through his body. The silver blood that had splashed from his body was on my face, the snow. Everywhere… the cable shot out and fell. Misaki falling as well.
Catching his body I held him close to my chest. I felt the cold steel turn to warm flesh and the silver blood turned red. Even worse… Misaki looked up at my tearful face. He smiled brightly, I looked at him.
"It's…alright… I was steel… not human." what?
"If I'm steel, nothing really hurts me enough… my body is made from gears. If something hits me anywhere, it wont kill me… not unless it hits…" he pointed at the middle of his chest.
I felt happy… he wasn't dead.
There was nothing to do but just hug him tightly. I was thanking god that he hadn't died on me right then. Misaki whimpered a bit and I just closed my eyes. Nothing was said and he just simply laid there in my embrace. I felt two arms wrap around my torso. "Thank you, Akihiko. For worrying."
I looked at him appalled. "Well of course I would worry! I love you, damnit!" he looked surprised but smiled warmly.
I smiled back. I stood up still embracing him. He slightly tugged at my shirt to release him. I didn't want to but I did. He staggered a bit on his ankle, which I noted was wrapped. I was about to question him but he fell through snow underneath him.
I looked at the snow that he once stood in. damn it all… and I walked to the door. It slid open.
XXX Misaki's POV
After that fight with monkey I was exhausted. I was heavily bleeding but I knew that wouldn't effect. I looked at my ankle, the poison was reaching up to my waist. That wasn't good. If I could only survive the next Sector fast enough… I could make it. And then I could get the cure for this and then kill the twisted bastard.
I stared at the door as the elevator rode up. "Sector 3 is emitted…" I tuned it out. I've heard enough. I was sitting on the floor of the elevator. Waiting for the door to open. Just waiting to die somewhere in there, maybe by the spreading poison. It had been slowed by the man but… it could still reach my chest.
And then I would be done with…
I needed to hurry. Or the poison will kill me… and the door opened.
A/N: DONE! Yay! It was really hard to write this because I was distracted by JR tumblr and I ended up watching a couple episodes again and ugh… but it was so adorable so I have NO regrets! PLEASE R&R!
JUST TWO MORE CHAPTERS LEFT! Noooo! Oh well. I had fun writing this. I'm surprised I'm actually going to finish this and commit to a sequel. I NEVER commit myself to things like that but hey, this is worth it. Review please!
Next chapter will be Misaki's POV and a little bit of Akihiko's POV. Like this one.
