Kiki's Saga Chapter 10 Pinned
" What do you think you are doing?" Kimblee huffed and turned towards her. He held a satified sneer on his face that made Kiki almost lose control.
"Hello." he said. His voice was wierd. An inbetween of sarcasm and evil. " Traitor." Kiki hissed with no ounce of fear. He wasn't playing excuses with her and she wanted to make sure that he knew it. Kiki knew he was only here because of the ' Good cop, bad cop' principle. Kimblee smiled.
" Smart little girl aren't you? Anyway, a girl nontheless" He sighed before rolling his shoulders. Without even glancing at Kiki, he then put his hands on Greed's safe and the next second there came a popping sound and a huge hole was in the safe's door. At that time, Kiki only saw little because it took her a minute to get over the alchemy spasms.
When Kimblee finished making the hole in the safe he turned back around to face Kiki, and this time he carried a sack in his hand containing something round but kind of jagged. Kiki momentarily wondered what it could be and at the same time didn't want to know at all. She refocused herself and gritted her teeth. " Kimblee, give.. that.. to.. me...NOW!" She yelled with the fury she so rarely often had heard from her mother. Her hand came out towards him in a forceful manner involving Kimblee dropping the parsel in her hands like she would a cookie to her mothers. Alas, nothing would enter her hands, and she knew that; which made her even more furious. Kimblee stared at her hand that so wanted to clench into a fist and just smiled. ' What is so damn funny? ' She thought.
" Uh-oh. So your'e giving orders now? Sorry..but I don't take orders from little girls. Especially one with an attitude." Kiki's hands clenched into fists so hard her knuckles turned white. " I'm not playing Kimblee. Give to me now or i'll-"
" You'll what? Tell Greed on me? Heh. No one likes a tattletale Kiki." She flinched when her name slid off of his tongue. Her body was heating up with more than just anger now. As she took out four daggers, Kimblee's smile just got wider. What he didn't know is that as soon as the metal touched her skin the daggers began to glow blue. She knew that as long as she kept her anger boiling that the alchemy would as well, but all that she cared about at this point was getting one of the daggers in Kimblee's eyes. When the daggers started crackling with electricity she poised to throw. Kimblee was no longer smiling now. Now it was replaced with an angry sneer.
" So youv'e got alchemy in you? Well..that won't help you.l My alch-" Kiki threw two daggers at Kimblee. He growled as he dodged by dropping low to the ground, the bag still in his hand. " Ha. Do you think your little toys could hurt me?" Kimblee dropped the bag and now rubbed his palms together in evil anticipation. Kiki knew he was going to use alchemy and exactly how he planned to do it. Quickly, she thrust the last two daggers at him. One went towards his face while the other aimed very low.
Instead of hitting home, the daggers were stopped when Kimblee thrust his hands up and a flash red light pierced the atmosphere. Kiki gagged at the pain the alchemy caused her. There was no clang of daggers hitting the floor, only the sound metal makes when rubbed against each other and then suddenly, the light was gone. Kiki could do nothing until she hushed her breathing.
Then with great speed she launched herself in the air. Her animal senses told Kimblee was just below her. Kiki twisted and turned until she had Kimblee's ponytail in her hands. She yanked as hard as she could as her feet touched the ground. Kimblee howled in rage when his head hit the cement. Not wanting to stay any longer, Kiki grabbed the bag and started running for the door in haste. ' Have to get to Greed. Have to get to Greed.' She thought through her adrenaline. Leaving Kimblee concious was the first mistake. She remembered getting to the door frame when an airpiercing sound of splintering wood reached her ears. After that all Kiki could remember was pain. Splitting, burning, agony.
When she came around she saw military men. She tried to move, but it almost made her cry out from the pain. Causing herself more pain, she had to bite down on her tongue. Kiki spared a glance at her body. Boy was she glad that she had bitten her tongue. Big and small uneven stakes were protruding from her body. As far as she could see, there were three in her legs, four in her stomach and thighs, and two in her chest. One was in her ribs and the other was not even inches from her heart. It was a wonder she was even alive. ' Kimblee must've blown up a chair of something. Ugh, asshole.' Kiki knew she must've looked like a pin cushion to the men walking over and around her.
Not daring(can't) to move she had no choice but to listen closely.
" Archer Sir! What do we do with the chimera?" a man asked rather loudly, almost like he thought Arker or whoever was miles away. Kiki's body hurt evertime she breathed. " Nothing. That creature is or will die soon anyway. Leave it be." a deep,sophisticated voice ordered. Kiki would've scoffed if it wouldn't have turned into a moan. 'Creature? Oh god! It hurts!' Her mind screamed.
As the people filed out of the room, Kiki heard Kimblee laugh at her. " See yah around." he chuckled. She just kept her eyes shut as he and the men dissapeared down the hallway, with the skull. She had failed. Now she was a shame to all chimeras. Kiki felt despair aching through her along with constant stabs of pain. Her body started shaking as her body began to get colder with loss of blood. The room was fading around her and her eyes were drifting. 'God. I'm dying.' she realized. Was she going? Was Kiki Foster going to die before she even got a chance to live? ' There is so much I wanted to do. Oh, mom.' Those questions buzzed inside her as her thoughts drifted in and out of focus.
"What the hell?" someone was yelling. They sounded so far away. Kiki lifted her crusted eyes to see Greed standing in the doorway. Alphonse and Law were behind him staring at her. Greed's surprised stare was mixed with anger at first, then he realized it was Kiki and the anger dissapeared. "Greed!" she rasped. ' I'm still alive. I wonder how long it's been.' Greed heard her and came to kneel at her side. " Kiki? Kiki! Kid! Can you here me?" he yelled. Kiki couldn't move her head, it seemed to be ten tons heavier than she remembered. She had to tell him something, no matter the pain.
" Gre-ed! Kim..Kimb-lee!" It came out painfully and not very understandable but Greed got it. His face once more became distorted with anger that made him actually look more unhuman. " I know. That bastard! He'll die for this. Him and Tucker!" Kiki figured Tucker would run with his tail between his legs.
" Greed, we have to go!" Doroche yelled. He came over to kneel by Kiki as well. " Hey kid." he said with a forced smile. She smiled too, because she knew he was being kind to her because they were leaving her behind. Doroche looked at Greed cautiously. Greed didn't look back. He suddenly was saying through his teeth," Wer'e not leaving her!" Kiki didn't know how she did it, but her hand covered Greed's His fingers curled over hers and his grip was almost crushing her hand into pieces. That pain was small compared to what the stakes were causing her.
" Greed. She can't move, she's going to-" Doroche stopped himself. He looked at Kiki and she smiled to show that she understood. Die. She's going to die.
Kiki suddenly became angry. She had worked so hard her entire life. Always doing the right things and the best things for her mother and George, yet, she had become a chimera. She embraced her fate as a chimera and started doing things for herself and that made her happy. As soon as she grasps her happiness, someone always takes it away. Her new family was the best she could have ever asked for and now Kiki was again being forced to leave it.
It wasn't fair.
' No.' She thought as darkness began to encircle her sight. ' No! You can't make me!' her mind screamed. Then she saw Greed staring at her in amazement. While fighting the darkness she hadn't even realized that her body had began to glow the light blue color her alchemy makes. 'Yes!' she thought. She knew she had to stay angry to make it work. So, she started screaming in her head. ' No! Nuh-uh! Nada! I won't leave! You here that George? I'm staying! Never! I won't leave my family! Marta, Doroche, Law, Bido, Mom, Greed!' the light had the whole room lit with the glow. Greed's grip on her had tightened.
" What the hell?" he yelled as the light became almost blinding. Kiki could feel the stakes being pushed out by regrowing skin created through her alchemy. She heard little poks as the stakes fell to the floor. The pain was nearly gone as it was replaced by fatigue. Before all the pain could completely dissapear, the light vanished. Greed was staring at her in amazement.
"Kiki. You..you're. What the hell just happened?" Kiki smiled. She also tried to sit up, but was hit by a wave of nausea and couldn't help but vomit all over the floor. 'Ugh. Very attractive.' She felt hands on her contracting back. They were huge, almost covering her entire back. 'Law.'
When Kiki turned around, Greed's face was inches from hers. She couldn't help but think she was lucky that all the vomiting was over. "Stay still Kiki. Doroche is going to take out the stake that still remains, and then I will hand you to Dal(Bear chimera) and Morgan( Alligator chimera). They'll take you to the cottage to heal." Kiki barely heard the words. Her eyes began drooping. 'Stake?' she asked herself. Like an idiot her head angled down to see what he was talking about. The stake that had nearly gone through her heart was still in her body. Blood had dried around it and it looked red and puffy. The damn thing was stuck. "Shit." she said and then realized that she had said it out loud. Nobody laughed at her lapse in perfect edicate though, because after she said it, she winced. ' This is not going to feel good.' she stated miserably in her head. Greed kept Kiki's attention as Doroche's hand began edging closer towards the stake. "Clean or wedged?" he asked Greed. Greed grit his teeth. " Definitely clean." The worst thing is that Kiki knew what they were talking about. Clean, pulled out quickly and all at once. Wedged, carefully pulled out by angling it back and forth.
Doroche grabbed ahold of the stake causing Kiki to take a breath of fear. "Sorry for this Fos."
Then, with a yank, the stake was pulled out through her back and out of her chest. Kiki just couldn't help it. She let out a bloodcurdling scream she never knew she could make. Greed's grip tightened on her as she struggled against him. The pulling had stung as if someone had poured rubbing alchohol in the wound. When she couldn't scream anymore, Kiki slumped against Greed. He gripped her and stood up with Kiki cradled in his arms. She felt herself being transferred from Greed to Morgan's tough grip. She whimpered at the throb in her chest. She realized after a minute that Greed was trying to tell her something. "Kiki? Kid? Kid? You alright?" Kiki couldn't do anything but nod groggily. Greed had said something else but Kiki was already half gone.
Oh my goodness writing this chapter was tough. I had to go through all of Kiki's options for fighting styles. Thank goodness I watch enough fighting from anime to think of something. Yep, I know, another cliff hanger. I have to keep you guys reading SOMEHOW! Hope this chapter filled you guys with anticipation! Wish me luck on the next one!
