Chap 9.

This ain't no wonder land

** ** **

"This has gone to far Mr Homura! Stop it now!"

Screams began to fill the air as the more adventurous of the men had attempted to face the creature that had been labelled '999'.

The creature had been climbing along a vent following the men through the labs.

She apparently didn't like what was being said.

And in her own words 'Would evade capture at all costs.'

Her evasion skills were all she had made them to seem as she stepped carelessly over the last of the technicians. Allowing a satisfied smirk to grace her lips as he shrieked in terror and tried to move as far from her as he could.

An audible crunch, or snap, that depended if you had already covered your head with your arms.

That would have muffled the sound a bit.

Nagi stood in silence, expressionless eyes watching his creation destroy her collectors.

A small smile tugged at his lips.

'Well at least they can never take you from me.'

Stepping casually over the cast off limbs as the last man fell in a whimpering pile of blood and flesh

"Daddy why were they trying to take me away?" the girl said quietly.

Her body language changed suddenly and she began to act like a meek child asking a parent something she expected to get scolded for asking.

"I don't know Nine. But they are bad men that wanted to take you away from me. They disserved this." Nagi said smiling softly at the girl.

Fiddling with the hem of her bloodied white summer dress she brushed some strands of black hair from her face and as she looked up a drop of crimson splashed against her cheek.

"I think I made a bit of a mess.."

Following her gaze Nagi looked up at the ceiling.

His eyes widened.

"Oh.."

Oh indeed was a word that could be used, fuck was another, closely followed with much screaming and running.

But no, Nagi just stared. Stared and the giant smear of a once human being that was now splattered across his ceiling like a decoration.

Maybe he should leave Nine incharge of the labs design and décor. Hmm it would at least improve work progress. That little bit of extra incentive. 'Work faster or become like this guy!'

Chucking at the line of though he was travelling down Nagi looked back at were Nine was playing in the blood.

Skipping through it like a child would through rain puddles she kicked her feet through it spraying the walls.

Smiling softly Nagi watched as she dipped her fingers in the now sticky substance and began drawing on the face of one of the bodies.

Walking down the hall as chuckled as he passed her now finished work as she stood admiring it.

"Nice Joker."

Looking up at him in confusion she scratched her cheek giving a cute it not blood soaked pout.

"Who's Joker?" She asked puzzled by the word.

Smiling Nagi tucked his hands in his pockets letting his white lab coat hang loosely from his shoulders.

"The Joker is an interesting character, I'll show you a little movie when we have story time tonight." he told her as he started walking back to the main lab. " I'm sure you'll like him."

Scampering behind him she clapped her hands in childlike glee.

The mad hatter had his Alice.

** ** **

With gun raised a figure threw itself at the doors.

There was a dull thump and the door held fast.

Cursing the figure backed up and charged at the door again.

Rewarded with the sound of cracking and splintering this time.

A roguish grin joined her mischievous eyes as the door was nocked down issuing a loud slam that seemed to echo through the whole warehouse.

Pulling out a flair, it was ripped into action as it illuminated the room with soft green light.

Looking up at the giant blades of the helicopter the grin only increased in size.

"Now this is what I'm taking about!"

** ** **

Shizuru smashed the hockey stick against the creature's neck with a sickening crunch. As its head fell forward limply it exposed the sickeningly high spinal collum. Then whilst is a sickened state of shock the beast shot forward blindly with a twisted arm.

The only thing that saved Shizuru was the door. The creature had been looking through the glass as it lunged and through its blurred vision it appeared that the woman had been right infront of him.

Yet he had hit just below the glass on the door.

His motion threw the door closed with such power that Shizuru was thrown off her feet by the door and landed on her back at the door slammed closed infront of her.

She lay stunned for a few seconds before bursting into laughter.

The stupid creature had knocked her into the office and closed the door for her, trapping him outside and leaving her safely inside for the moment.

A roar and thud from the door brought her back to reality as the beast broke the glass as it tried to wedge its body through the small window.

Unfortunatly the sound had not just startled Shizuru.

From the back locker room a clatter and thud was heard followed by a slow scraping sound that seemed to be increasing in speed.

Picking up the hockey stick she had dropped during her small flight, Shizuru turned startled by the sound.

She did not have a good feeling about this.

And bingo she was correct.

From the locker entrance stumbled Tomeo.

"Sh-Shizuru, I- I, s-so hun-hungry."

The look in Tomeo's eyes sent a very simple 'Oh shit' message through Shizuru's mind.

"We'll get you something to eat but I think you need to just stay here. I'll go get some help." Shizuru calmly said to Tomeo, a fake smile on her face as she tried to subdue the ever-growing closer woman.

"But, so hu-hungry." Tomeo's voice stuttered as she eyed Shizuru hungrily.

Now this was an entirely different look she was being given, this was a very hungry look, and it didn't appear to contain lust.

Now Shizuru was a tad scared.

She needed out.

With a beast trying to break in and an infected cannibal coming closer the option to crawling though a vent sounded like pure bliss.

Of course there were no fucking vents!

** ** ** ** **

Brushing angrily at her eyes Natsuki tried to clear her vision.

"Stupid dust from the vents must have got in my eyes." She muttered turning a corner abruptly she bumped into a wall.

A fluffy wall..

'Oh crap!'

Jumping back Natsuki snatched her guns from their holsters and fired straight infront of her.

The furry wall started springing leaks of black and crimson and it lurched around to roar with what was left of its face, and that was one ugly face. With a half protruding snout that seemed half melted to the lower jaw leaving a mouth that only half opened, it was truly a creature only a mother could love...a very blind mother... with maybe no hands.

Re-adjusting her aim to the head Natsuki began stepping back, as she ceased fire and pointed her steaming guns sky wards the beast collapsed forward spraying her legs with black fluid from its impact.

"Oh I am not even going to comment." Natsuki muttered eyeing the carcass in disgust.

"Natsuki?!" a scared voice yelled from the next turn. "I need a little help!"

"Yeah I'm coming!" She yelled in conformation. Bracing her self for confrontation Natsuki made a run for the next turn.

Of all the things she expected what she got was not exactly she expected.

** ** **

The sound of gunshots had given Shizuru the surge of hope she needed, and knowing it was now Natsuki coming to save her let off a wave of tension and stress and now there was purely the need to survive.

'There is no way I'm going to get eaten waiting for Natsuki!' Shizuru though as she gripped her hockey stick tighter.

"Sorry Tomeo, I'm not on the menu." With a quick movement she shot forward and hit Tomeo in the chest sending the girl flying onto her back. 'Well not your menu.' She smirked.

Spinning towards the door she lashed out catching the beast across the nose causing him to pull his head from the door hole in pain.

Taking advantage of the situation she charged the door.

Causing the creature to fly backwards away from the door.

And right into a gun-wielding woman as she rounded the corner.

** ** **

Hearing a startled cry Shizuru looked around to spot Natsuki being knocked against a wall by the beastie creature she had knocked away with her door.

Thankfully it was unable to scratch or bite her.

Never before has Shizuru been so pleased about mutation.

Its arms were bent and twisted forcing its hands to bend back with its taloned fingers brushing its elbows, it made it imposable for the creature to claw or grasp anything. Its hunched back forced it head to face the ground as its spine rose sharply, this illuminated the biting factor.

Unless Natsuki was on the ground.

At that point Natsuki collided with the wall and lost her footing.

Shizuru glared at the wall. "Just my luck."

As Natsuki fell she put her hand out to catch herself, it brushed a rail and her gun was knocked from her hand as her head hit the ground.

Spinning across the tiles the gun came to rest infront of Shizuru's door.

As Natsuki lay stunned, the beasts head dangled closer to her neck as its jaw clicked out of place.

Throwing the door open again Shizuru snatched up the gun, and holding it with both hands she spread her legs and braced herself for the shot.

She was not braced enough.

As she squeezed the trigger the beasts jaws shot forward to rip Natsuki's throat, Natsuki realised how close the beast was and brought her gun up to block the jaws, and the beast seised her gun.

Then the hammer of the gun landed.

.. and the barrel flew up to the ceiling.

Unprepared for the guns kick Shizuru's arms flicked up to the ceiling as soon as pulled the trigger.

Dropping the gun she staggered backwards as she cried out as the muscles from her wrist to her shoulders screamed in pain.

The gunshot alerted Natsuki and the beast of her presence, and as the beast pulled back to change directions there was a loud cracking sound and the above vent detached from the ceiling and swung down slamming the beast off Natsuki and off the ground.

It flew backwards and was throw high against the corner wall. There was a sickly cracking sound and the raised spine shattered against the wall killing the creature instantly.

As the vent swung backwards Natsuki's eyes widened as she realised what gravity was about to do to her.

Rolling to the side she barely escaped the path of the vent as it dropped down lower ripping up the floor as it swung in her direction, becoming lose and dropping infront of her. Then as she began to stand, keeping one hand on the wall to steady herself, the beast body dropped down beside her hitting the edge of the vend causing a se-saw effect. The vent edge caught her foot throwing her onto her back.

Glaring at the ceiling Natsuki lay on the floor cursing at her luck, then she realised someone had saved her.

Looking to the side Natsuki spotted Shizuru siting on the ground leaning against the door cradling her wrists in her lap. Her eyes were screwed shut and Natsuki could see tear marks on her cheeks.

Wincing Natsuki crawled over to lean back on the door beside Shizuru.

Reaching over she took one of Shizuru's wrists startling her as her eyes snapped open and she instinctively pulled her hand away, only to wince in pain at the action.

"Where does it hurt?" Natsuki asked quietly reaching for the nurses' wrist again.

Wincing Shizuru let gentle fingers trance around her injured wrist.

'This is the part were I get to make a sarcastic comment of mixing pleasure and pain.' Shizuru's thoughts deadpanned as she shivered at the gentle touch along her wrist.

Breaking out of her dazed thoughts, that were moving to a place that was very unprofessional… Natsuki's husky voice (yeah cause that was really helping her come back to reality) was asking her a question.

"Ara sorry could you repeat that?" Shizuru laughed as Natsuki scowled at having to repeat herself.

"I think it's just a sprain." Natsuki muttered pulling off one of her gloves, exposing a tight hand and wrist wrap she was wearing.

Pulling off the flesh coloured bind she passed it to Shizuru who simply stared at it quizzically.

"You want me to wear this? But what about you?"

Natsuki shrugged as she pulled her normal glove back on. "I've only been wearing it because my glove was a bit lose. It'll do till we get to the 'Wolf', then Alyssa can wrap your hand up properly."

Shizuru stared at the wrist bandage for a bit looking back and forth between it and her wrist.

Then it finally dawned on Natsuki.

"Sorry." She muttered blushing as she reached for the bandage. It Shizuru's state she needed help putting it on.

Holding her wrist carefully Natsuki stretched the supported glove for Shizuru to squeeze her hand into.

"Thank you for that. You didn't have to help me." Natsuki whispered shyly finishing with Shizuru's wrist, yet she still would not meet the others eyes.

"Help?" Shizuru giggled, Natsuki was acting so shy and cute, it was adorable "I almost killed you!"

Natsuki chuckled looking up from the brunettes' wrists.

"Well you did a shocking job, as you can see, I'm still here!"

"Well that's strong gun, it didn't like me to much." Shizuru nodded thoughtfully "It tried to jump out of my hands."

"Well your lucky you didn't break anything. First time I used these I dislocated my shoulder. So I think you've done a good job for your first shot with one of these." Natsuki said giving Shizuru a genuine smile.

"But I have to ask. Where you wearing a skirt this short before, because I don't think I noticed." she laughed sticking her tongue out as Shizuru slapped her shoulder playfully.

"Aww what no short white skirt? And here I am saving a damsel in distress." she joked laughing lightly as she stood up.

"Ara, your tight black suit is enough for both of us I think Nat-su-ki." Shizuru replied wiggling her eyebrows at the girl subjectively, and started laughing when a blush began appearing on the bikers' cheeks.

"We'd better get out of here." Natsuki muttered looking away as Shizuru stood up to join her.

"Well we should start walking then Nat-su-ki." Shizuru huskily whispered as she lent over Natsuki's shoulder "Or are you wishing to stay in this nice quiet back wing, were no one will disturb us."

As the biker was left blushing and stuttering Shizuru wandered ahead.

"Ara if Natsuki doesn't hurry up I may just leave with out her."

Giggling Shizuru watched as Natsuki huffed past her leading the way to their closest exit.

*** ** ** ****

TBC..

Loved it? Left it? What did you all think XD?!

RE-OMAKE!!

(I basically re-did a little bit of a scene - rated for the perverted! )

The Glove Scene –

"Sorry." She muttered blushing as she reached for the bandage. It Shizuru's state she needed help putting it on.

Holding her wrist carefully Natsuki stretched the supported glove for Shizuru to squeeze her hand into.

As she pulled the fabric down Shizuru realised how sweaty the cloth was.

The cloth was soaked from Natsuki.

Shizuru giggled to herself as the realisation struck her 'I'm wearing something soaked with Natsuki's' juices' She felt so immature with her thinking 'Hopefully this wont be the last time I have them coating my hand- no stop bad Shizuru!' Shaking her head she attempted to scowl at herself.

Tsk she should really try to not be so perverse.

"Thank you for that. You didn't have to help me." Natsuki whispered shyly.

'That's what you think.'

And thus Shizuru fainted into a blissful fantasy involving Natsuki's glove… and Natsuki.

The glove of which was never returned.

:p
