I am back from a long period of sitonmyassness
But I'm back to finally bring the conclusion of this story!Woohoo!
uh so yeah.
Read.
Do it.
"So, What does this do exactly?"
Wei asked squinting at both girls across from him who were snickering and nudging each other. "Come on bro we told you it's
quick revive, If one of us goes down you can run in and help out" Explained Lin who was irritated because this was about her fifth time doing so.
"It's just a soda, You saw Nikolai chug down The red one earlier didn't you?
Completely safe." Teufel pat the older man on the shoulder and he sighed in defeat. "Okay okay"
Wei popped the cap off and took a nice big gulp, At first he seemed to enjoy it
but as the after taste rolled in his face twisted with disgust and he began to choke. "What..What the hell!?" he hisses.
The girls threw their arms around one another and rolled with laughter. "Did you
see his face?! Pfffffttt!" "Yeah, Ahahah That was great!"
"Hey!" Interrupted the American who was trudging through the swampy walkways
towards the loud group of pranksters. "What's everyone laughing at?"Both girls pointed to Wei who was hacking dramatically and cursing the flavor of fish to hell. Tank let out a chuckle and slapped the other man on the back, Making him stumble. "Suck it up, We have all had to taste a little fish sometime."
"Ew." Teufel stuck her tongue out. Dempsey shot her a look. "Grow up Teu" "Sorry."
Wiping tears of laughter from her eyes Lin stretched. "Hey Tank, How's your
girlfriend holding up." "She's asleep right now, Thanks to Wei I think she'll be alright.." The man replied, Ignoring the girlfriend comment all together.
Wei smiled shyly, "Anytime I'm glad to be of use."
"Oh your going to be real useful now that the witch Doctor isn't our only
medical professional."
"Well I don't know, Two Medics are better then one right? I mean for second
opinion"
Tank shrugged slapping on his back again, this time his glasses almost go flying
off of his face. "Whatever you say. Just keep up the good work."
"So .. Wei you think I can go visit her when she wakes up." Teufel speaks and
the man turns, pushing a pair of crooked frames forward haunts the bridge of his
nose. "Sure. I'll come find you when she does" Teu smiles and nods she felt bad, she hasn't spoken to Jane since that little argument they had in the bathroom. No, she didn't regret saying what she said but it still weighed on her in a bad way.
As Teufel pondered on what she would do with the rest of her day the others sort of dispersed around the map, Lin bellowed something about finding the box and Tank agreed to tag along. While Lin on the other hand decided to search for water, but to be honest since he'd gotten here with his sister ...However long ago that was... He hadn't had any normal human urges; Hunger, Thirst.. He heard Lin saying she was going to take a leak before but he wondered if she was just doing it to do it. Nevertheless if that was true it would be a plus, but their bodies could have just be in a state of shock...if that was the case they would need food and water soon.
Water, Easily found. As for food...surely there were some juicy limbs tossed
about from combat.
Knowing this bunch if he suggested that they would probably attempt to cook up
zombie pieces, he shuddered at the image but couldn't help but wonder on the
taste if zombie nuggets as he tiptoed around the swamp.
Shi no Numa was quite a change from Kino der Toten, not one room was closed off from the nature on the outside. The air smelt of swampy must and bugs buzzed about sipping sweat from the foreheads of the survivors.
Nikolai swatted at the tiny pest holding his Vodka Bottle with his other hand as
if to protect it. "Stupid forest Nikolai wants to go back to theater"An irritated groan followed behind his words. "Nikolai wirr you shut up." Takeo sat across from the lager man with his legs crossed and his hands in his lap, his eyes were previously closed but his partners continuous chatter kept him from concentrating. Unlike Nikolai, Takeo was very comfortable there. Japan, this was his home. The very part of Japan he was from escaped mind when ever her tried to think about it but he imagined it to be something like this more or less.
"Nyet." Mumbled the Russian, yet again bringing the Japanese mans train of
thought to a violent, grinding halt or so he though, This time he was merely
ignored. Finally the big bear of a human being decided to take the hint, Deciding it was better to guzzle vodka then talk anyhow.
The cool wind blew over their heads, Rustling the tall dry grasslands.
"Hey, Whoops!" Wei comes twisting out of the foggy distance and plops down into
Nikolai's lap, he smiles apologetically. "Hello you two...haven't seen water any
where have you?"
A foul sent filled his nostrils as he realized that the Russian Drunkard had
belched in his face. "Who need water when you have Wodka?"
Wei slid away from him. "The rest of us." He replied matter of factly and was a
little surprised that Takeo was nodding in agreement with his statement.
"No." The Japanese man replied after a few seconds or so. "But I wirr accompany
you on your search" he stands and shoots his partner a glare. "The air here is
no ronger fresh" that being said he guides Wei away so they can walk along the
dry path that lead deeper into the land leaving Nikolai with his bottle whilst
he mumbles a few 'Fuck you' wasn't expecting company especially not from the other Asian. Most of their no where walk was quiet save for the ambiance and occasional chatter.
"Excuse me." Tak cleared his throat making the young man stop. "Yes?"
"We haven't exchanged names, I am Masaki Takeo" he bows with a straight and
slightly slender figure. Wei smiles and bows as well..he was already familiar
with such formalities thanks to his grandfather.
"Nagasaki, Wei."
Takeo stands upright giving Wei a nod. "it's nice to meet another 'civil'
person" he remarks and the modern young man can't help but hear the racist
remark in that sentence he give no reply only a half assed 'Thank you.'
"And then I said, K to the I to the A zombitch! And they were all like
'Tankkkkk bragghhh nooo! You are too powerful." Tank mimicked the exaggerated
movement of zombies flopping his limbs about and throwing his head back like a
howling werewolf.
"Wooo! Bad ass!" Chimed Lin laughing and slapping him on the shoulder. "Your
awesome man!" "Hehe I know." The American grins stroking his already rock hard ego. "Your not bad yourself, We ain't really suppose to be hangin out with the Asians you know."
The female shrugs and steps up for her turn at the box. "Eh we're all from
different times man. No biggy."
Tank nods in agreement tucking the python he had gotten into his tactical
insertion holster. It wasn't a ray gun but it would get him out of some jams.
Better a 'sucky gun' then no gun at they were done they headed back laughing and joking just as loudly a they were when they came. It was perfect timing too, Wei and Takeo were coming up out of the grass entering the gates of the main hut as well..While Teu sat on the steps near one of the indoor box spawns tugging at the wrapping on her leg.
Richtofen was behind her, With an old book and a few papers tucked into. Without
warning he leaned down and whacked her upside the head. "Stop that."
"Stop that." She repeated, Mocking him. The doctor only glared in response she
returned the staring contest was only to be broken up by Wei's soft voice which called to Teu. "Let's go and see if Jane is awake like I promised alright?"
"Yeah okay..That'd be nice.." The two of them broke from their previous pairs
and headed inside.
Per Edwards specifications Jane was to be kept in the doctors quarters, There were a few things in there that they could use for her benefit but he of course would not be looking out for the annoying girls best interest. She was there however, Laid on the floor by the bookcase and the door under some sheets her soft breathing filled the quiet space with a faint hope for life. When she laid eyes on her, Teufel went to the blondes side and crouched down next to her. "hey..what cha doin here Teu? No Zombies to kill?"
Teu shook her head and frowned. "Nope, I just..wanted to come see you. Uh.." A
pause. "How are you holding up?"
"Fine! I'm glad you came! It's been hard to move but Tank and Wei are taking
care of me..I'll be better soon I promise. Gotta help my best friend out right?"
She rubs the other girls head but her hand it pushed away after a moment.
"How can you still consider me your best friend after all those things I said
..."
Jane laughs and sits up as best as she could looking Teufel straight in the
eyes. "Because I love you Jess..That's what friends do. You know..I'm really
sorry about what happened with the money and whatever else but I don't want
anything to separate us." Tearing blue orbs begged and pleaded for forgiveness.
"friends?"
Teu held back her urge to cry and hugged Jane. "Thank you."
Together they curled up on the sheets and hugged it all out, laughing and making
jokes about their fellow teammates. Jane cried a few more times and Teu mumbled
something about being a baby. As the swamp darkened the younger woman let sleep
over come her and curled up against the blondes chest.
"hey...Jane you still awake." A dim candle light beamed at the doorway floating
over to the injured woman, Tanks dirty face peered over her looking somber "Aha
hey hun..I'm fine.." They kiss an it lingers for just a moment before they both
break away over Teu's unconscious muttering. "So this is where the brat was?
You two made up then?"
"Yeah.." Jane strokes Teufel's curly head. "Gonna take a strong force to pull us
apart now~"
Tank smiles at the scene and stands. "Well good night. See you in the morning"
she nods eye half lidded and he leaves the hut.
Foreshadowing.
