Autumn: Hey! Sorry for the long update, but I was stuck between a dragon and a hard place. That and Inu was giving me hell.
Inu: Was not.
Autumn: Of course you were, first you got into the sugar, then you were running around with a bedsheet wrapped around your body screaming about how you were 'Toga Man' and then you...!
Inu: -slaps hand over Autumn's mouth- Ok, ok. So maybe I did give you a little hell...
Autumn: More than a little, but I digress...
Inu:Yes you do
Autumn: Well if you weren't so distracting! -waves arms around wildly and smacks Inu in the mouth sending him flying back a ways-
Inu: On... wifff... whe... fwic... Xx

Chapter 10: Last Future
The gang was taking a day of rest, while sitting in the park. It had been nearly five years since peace had been achieved, oh sure, there were a few... er... spats... yeah... spats lately, but nothing the Preventors couldn't handle. There was something on Duo's mind, however. The others knew it, and Heero was dreading what it might be, then lifted his soda can to his lips... bad idea.
"So Heero... where is this mystery girl you've been dating?" Duo remarked.
Heero choked on his soda, while the others looked stunned.
"Where did you hear such a thing Duo?" Relena asked... how did Duo know? Oh sure Relena was a little more than upset when she found out that Heero had a girlfriend four months ago, but hey... if the girl made Heero happy, then Relena would be happy. Besides, she had Quatre now... and the others didn't know the behind the bedroom door Quatre... she did however.
"I saw Heero walking to the movies the other day with this girl." Duo said paused... and then shrugged. "Besides, by the way they were lip locking I got the feeling that they were going out..." Duo said.
"It's about time." Hilde said jokingly, while nudging Heero's arm.
"Hn." Heero said, fighting a blush.
That blush was forgotten when the sound of rapid gunfire erupted not to far off. Shouts could be heard in every direction as people took cover or scattered.
"GET DOWN!" came a voice as the others jumped to their feet. "GETDOWNGETDOWNGETDOWN!"
S-
Several more shots could be heard, growing louder with every passing moment as the pilots armed their guns and headed for the shots, leaving the girls behind.
Get to the park, get to the park...! My shoulder... I can't believe that bastard shot me!
Bobbing and weaving out of the way of frightened people was not an easy task when you were rapidly losing blood from three bullet wounds. She looked around, her piercing Dragon green eyes wild with fear. Not fear for herself, fear for the civilians around her.
"Oh Akima... come back and play..." The masked shooter called out as he ran after her. he wasn't completely stupid as to not run after her. He shot her in the left shoulder, and in both legs, but still, she refused to go down, and surrender... She was as stubborn as He had said she would be.
Akima praised her luck and dashed to the left, finding a stair case with a long wide hand rail. She slid down it in a rush of speed and her feet just barely touched the ground before her knees gave out on her and she collapsed to the ground.
"Traitorous legs. Get up, don't fail me now." She muttered as she managed to get to her knees. The arm of her jean jacket was stained crimson, her low riders were torn up to the knees, and the rest was slowly staining red as blood trickled down the skin of ther shins.
Her vision was dulling...
The world was spinning in an array of colors...
The shooter was drawing near...
Parts of her life flashed before her eyes...
Forgotten memories arose from the darkest recesses of her mind...
Recent memories rushed to her with a hard slap to the face...
"Heero..." Akima heard herself think and speak at the same time. "I can't leave Heero..."
She willed her sight to sharpen, and she forced her legs to support her weight. Her inky black raven hair fell out of it's bun and cascaded down her back, as her bangs shaded her eyes. The shooter thrusted the gun into the back of her head, and then slowly walked around to where he could half way see her face.
"You should have kept on running Akima, you would have gotten away. Your grandfather will be most disappointed to hear that you died before the both of you could have the last battle..." the shooter laughed, the eight legged red sunwyrm showing all to well on his forearm.
"Put the gun down!"
S-
"You should have kept on running Akima, you would have gotten away. Your grandfather will be most disappointed to hear that you died before the both of you could have the last battle..."
"Put the gun down!" Quatre shouted, gun armed.
The shooter made the mistake of looking at the five guys with guns. Akima's hand was lightning fast as she grabbed the top of the machine gun and pulled, resulting in a complete breakdown of the gun... in other words it fell apart.
The shooter looked down at the pieces of the gun in shock, and then fell backwards when Akima managed to jump kick his jaw. The pilots quickly surrounded the shooter, while Heero looked at Akima's wounds.
"You can't stop the Red Dragon Syndicate from coming for you! They will get you!" The shooter cried out as the pilots carried him towards police cars heading their way.
Akima's legs gave out on her and she collapsed into Heero's arms.
"Akima, stay with me!" Heero said as Akima dazedly looked at him. "Stay with me..."
