ENJOY
Staring at the small yellow pill Natsuki took it and nodded her head. "Right." She looked back towards the death camp and clenched her fists. "I'm coming Nao."
Hushed foot steps echoed softly in the night air while leaves and branches slightly rustled off into the distance. The night was cold and bitter yet calm, along with a bright full moon looming down over those who were caught in its glow. Soft even breathing was met with quick anxious breaths in return and unsure footsteps. Shizuru turned slightly to look at her nervous companion as they quietly made there way through the rows of soldier barracks.
"Shh stay calm." Shizuru whispered softly to her little prisoner and only got a jerky nod in return. What they were doing right now was big, psychotic, idiotic and pure suicide and yet here Shizuru was stalking along in the night trying to reach the prisoners section without notice, why you ask? Because now she was a wanted criminal behind enemy lines. Sure she had an alibi and had framed another soldier and killed him in sake of her mission, but how long would it be until they notice she was missing? How long would it be until they put both pieces of the puzzle together? So yes stealth would be the best approach, in and out fast quick and easy.
Slowly and quietly they opened the large gate just enough for them to barely squeeze through, they didn't need the gate screeching in protest on rusty hinges if they opened it wider. They quickly approached the proper barrack and Natsuki opened the door, inside darkness greeted them with soft snores. Use to the dim light of the broken down building and its foul smell Natsuki made her way to the corner of the room Nao and her usually slept. As she did so guilt gnawed at her while she stepped over slumbering bodies, bodies that were practically just bones, and there she was fattened up to her old weight and healthy again. The guilt screamed into her heart as she thought of all the innocent people she'd be leaving behind to save her own ass. Sighing sadly she finally reached her best friend and crouched down shaking her softly.
"Mmm 5 more minutes mommy." Nao mumbled sleepily turning away from the intruding hand.
"Nao wake up."
"…tuski…?" Nao continued to mumble groggily slowly waking to the sound of her friends husky voice.
"Wake up Nao." Natsuki pulled at her friend trying to sit her up so she'd wake up, they didn't have a lot of time and her Kapo looked anxious. "Wake up right now." She hissed into the girls ear.
"Natsuki…whats going on?" Finally awake Nao looked at her friend tiredly, what did she want? She was finally having a good dream for once and here Natsuki was waking her up? What did she want to do boast about how amazing the party was how great the food was. How she was right and Rrushi was into her and they were now madly in love?
"We got to get out of here Nao."
"What are you talking about?" Nao glared at her friend but her face softened at the look on Natsuki's face, she could always read Natsuki like an open book the girl wore her feelings on her sleeve, And there right now she saw guilt that burned bone deep and worry.
"I'm saying we are busting out of here right now, I'll fill you in as we go now get up!" She whispered fiercely and Nao didn't need to be told again. She got onto her feet in a flash and they both made their way to the exit closing the door behind them. "Rrushi lets go!"
"Right." they made there way to the gate slipping by it quietly, closing it with a soft clank they booked it down the rows of barracks as quietly as possible. They made a left turn only for Shizuru to stop dead in her tracks push them back as two patrolling officers made their way into their direction. They hid in the shadows of a narrow alley between to barracks and waited for the men to pass, when Shizuru could no longer hear the soft thud of their boots she checked to see if the coast was clear before running out and down the next row of buildings. If they were quick they could make it to her car and they could get the hell out of doge! They made their way through the second gate and took not even five steps into the next section before sirens began blaring angrily out of the blue. Nao and Natsuki clamped they hands over their aching ears while the sirens wailed.
"Attention Soldiers, this is code red I repeated code red this is not a drill. Kapo Rrushi Fujo along with a Prisoner described with black hair green eyes are on the run. The Fuhrer has been assassinated. Apprehend the suspects and shoot on sight I repeat shoot on sight!"
All three of them turned pale white as the voice crackled over the intercoms spread through out the camp. After the message stopped the sirens started up again and then all that the man had said was repeated over again as a recording. Loud marching and running could be heard coming from the direction they were going towards and from behind them.
"What do we do!" Natsuki yelled panic rushing her senses as she begged for an answer to the spy beside her.
"This way!" Shizuru grabbed Natsuki's hand in return Natsuki grabbed Nao's and they ran as fast as they could down another row of buildings dodging and weaving in random directions it seemed. Natsuki never realized just how big the place was, as it seemed like they were running for miles. "quick this way!" Shizuru ran to two metal doors and if she was lucky no one would be inside. She needed to reach the underground tunnel that lead to the other side of the camp. The tunnel was usually used for shelter from harsh storms or exporting some of the boxes of equipment to the other side because it was a hell of a lot quicker.
"Where are we going!"
"Just keep running!" Loud shouts and footsteps could be heard behind them as two soldiers came running into the building tailing them. Bullets wizzed by their heads causing Nao to shriek in surprise. Pulling the younger girls down another hallway Shizuru stopped and pulled out her pistol and leaned against the wall. "Get down." She said softly and the two frightened girls silently obeyed. Shizuru then glanced around the corner before firing her pistol at one of the two soldiers causing them to jump behind some cover. They in return fired off their own rounds which blasted holes in the wall Shizuru was hiding against.
"Give up or we'll shoot you!" One soldier called out. Shizuru only snorted at the comment they'd shoot her no matter what she did. She glanced around the corner then and shot off another bullet hitting one soldier in the leg that had been sticking out slightly from where he hid. A loud yell along with cursing filled the air and the spy took her next shot hitting the other in his arm. With that down Shizuru quickly grabbed onto Natsuki's hand once more and raced both girls down the hall and down several sets of stairs. Shizuru busted through a metal door which lead them into a room filled with pipes that ran through the whole camp, machinery and furnaces hummed as they worked.
"There should be a door right around here…" She mumbled walking into the empty room. She didn't get far though, her trained ears heard the sharp intake of breath from Natsuki and quickly spun around, there trying to sneak up on her was a mechanic with a large lead pipe. He swung down hard trying to bash her in the head but she was to quick for him. She dodged to the left into a crouch only to snap back up with a kick hitting the mechanic under the chin sending him sprawling to his back with a groan. That hadn't stopped him however and he picked himself up with a grunt and decided attacking the other two girls would be easier. He was a fool for thinking such things though, did he honestly believe Shizuru would stand for someone trying to lay a finger on Natsuki? The mechanic didn't make it two steps before the red eyed soldier was on him in a fury of jabs and kicks before knocking him unconscious with a swift kick to the head.
"Quick this way." Shizuru urged them as she made her way through the next door that lead into a small elevator. She quickly hit the last button and the steal doors closed and they began descending to the tunnels. The wires lowering the elevator gave out a groan in protests and then the whole thing began to shake before jerking to a hard stop.
"what was that." Nao's voice quivered as she looked up hoping to see something other then its ceiling.
"I don't know…"
"Why aren't the doors opening?" Shizuru looked at the small numbers on the top of the elevator door, they had stopped in between the 2nd-3rd floor and they needed to get to the 4th, Voices could be heard up above them shouting out orders.
"What are they-" Natsuki started but screamed as the elevator shifted hard and shuddered with another groan.
"There going to cut the lines!"
"Get the doors open!" Shizuru yelled and began trying to open them they were shut tight though and wouldn't budge. Nao cowered in the corner fear in her eyes while Natsuki tried looking around the small box for a way out or a way to open the door. She looked around with no luck and the elevator shook again while the sound of saws cutting the hard steal lines screeched. She grabbed onto the wooden bar that was placed to help keep your balance and just like that a light bulb clicked in her head.
"Rrushi! Look! If we can break this off maybe we can wedge it between the doors!"
"Brilliant thinking Natsuki." Shizuru beamed with hope and moved over to the wooden bar. "Stand back." Doing as she was told she stepped back, Shizuru lifted up her leg and gave the wooden beam a good hard kick and with a snap it clattered to the floor in a heap. Quickly picking it up, She wedged it between the two doors and with all her might she pulled back onto it.
SNAP!
Screams from Nao and Natsuki could be heard as the elevator slanted harshly sending both girls to the other side of the small elevator practically standing on the wall, while Shizuru hung on desperately to the wooden beam she was using for a wedge, if she didn't get the door opened now then all 3 of them would die. They would become splatters of blood and gore all along the elevator walls and ceiling never to be heard of again. With a grunt she attempted to obtain good footing in order to bend the make shift wedge and budge the door open. With a groan, slowly but surely the metal doors began to open.
"Hold on Rrushi!" Natsuki grunted and picked herself up and went to aid the struggling spy, the soldiers face was red from the effort. Grabbing the wooden wedge Natsuki began pushing with all her might and weight forcing the door to open more. With one final grunt the door finally heaved open enough to get through but it wouldn't stay like that, if they moved the doors would slide back shut on them.
"Alright go go!" The lip of the second floor was just slightly above their heads if the were careful they could jump to the ledge and hoist themselves up. "Nao you first!" God if she lived through this she was going to be sore tomorrow. Nao picked herself up and made her way slowly to the opening of the door.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes now go!" Shizuru clenched her teeth. She watched as Nao jump up a little her hands grabbing onto the lip of the second floor and pulled herself up which was harder then Nao would of thought but then again her body was no longer strong and healthy. When the red head finally disappeared from view, Shizuru looked over at Natsuki.
"Natsuki go."
"What about the door?"
"Don't worry I got it, just get going!" The younger girl hesitated but finally nodded in agreement. She didn't like this sinking feeling of dread filling her, how would Rrushi get out? There was nothing to hold the door open for her. "Natsuki…wait." Turning to face the older woman who's face held small beads of sweat from the strain on her muscles she waited. "Take my gun…Just in case." She nodded towards her belt where the pistol lay tucked into its holster.
"But-"
"Just in case Natsuki please?" Shizuru practically begged, she couldn't hold the doors for much longer.
"…Ok" Natsuki fished the gun out of it holster and looked at Shizuru for a moment that felt like eternity and with, a sad sigh she placed the gun into her belt line and jumped up pulling herself onto the second floor.
"Ok Shizuru come on you got this…" Preparing herself for the moment she let out even deep breaths trying to calm her raging nerves, and with all her might she pushed on the doors opening them wide before placing the wooden beam she had been using between the two doors she knew they wouldn't hold for more than a few seconds. Suddenly a loud snap sounded and the who elevator shifted and lurched, Shizuru's eyes widened in terror as the whole thing gave way plummeted to the ground and was completely crushed on impact.
"RRUSHI!"
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
"They're going through the tunnels but their destination is unknown." a gruff voice filled the room, and their sitting at the desk was a fat bald man. Mr. K wiped the sweat from his bald head as he growled angrily. This was madness! This whole time a spy had been under his nose and not just a spy but his best soldier! The most promising person to serve their country to serve the great Fuehrer, to help complete the Final Solution! "Either way they're trying to escape, see to it they don't, I want their heads on a silver platter! I doubt they'd let themselves be killed in a elevator specially Rrushi." He yelled angrily slamming his fat meaty hands on his desk and glared at the blonde soldier who hadn't said a word since his arrival, no emotion showed on his face.
"Find out who this Rrushi guy really is! And when your done kill him painfully as possible! This traitor will know the true meaning of hell!" No reply the strong man standing in his office barely seem to notice the ranting man which only irked the fat man more.
"Is that understood Williams! Are you even listening to me!"
The man in question, stood stock still his mind elsewhere. It was in sheer turmoil, he like everyone else was surprised but at the same time he felt something else from Rrushi's betrayal but what? What was his companions motives? Why had he done it? And at the same time he asked himself why had he not notice any of it before? Now that everything was out in the open, he could see the clear signs of Rrushi's behavior, but then hadn't he always noticed, hadn't he decided not to give it a name it ignore the young mans oddities?
Hadn't he ignored the fact the Rrushi was…different that he looked and acted different? Hadn't he ignored the way the young man seem so closed in and always able to redirect any question asked about him? Surely this was his fault but surely not right? Was this what Rrushi had meant when he had told Williams that he wished for his support no matter what, good or bad? And as Williams battled with his inner turmoil, there was only one thing he could truly ask himself, could he kill Rrushi and for what cause?
"Yes Sir."
"Good! Now listen I got every damn soldier in this camp looking for them! I want this mess cleaned up before dawn! Now get your ass in gear and bring me his head!" The fat man screamed slamming his fists onto his wooden desk once more, causing papers and folders to go flying all over the place along with his coffee mug tipping over and spilling into his lap. But Williams paid no mine to the yelling man who shrieked like a little girl when the burning liquid fell onto his crotch. With the door closing behind him muffling the painful cries of Mr. K, Williams made his way to his destination. The only way to get into the tunnels was through the elevator and if it was no longer there the only way in was to go to the other side of the camp and head towards them. He would have to cut them off but that was fine first he needed to make sure the elevator was no longer there because, he needed answers…answers only Rrushi could answer.
"Rrushi…"
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Sobbing could be heard, it couldn't be controlled and Natsuki had felt the tears coming on before she had even pulled herself onto the solid floor of the 2nd floor. She had heard the cords that helped the elevator go up and down, snap and she had seen the glimpse of the female soldiers head before the whole thing went crashing down to the ground with a loud bang and shatter that had originally caused the sobs to start erupting from her lips. Tears had stained her face and her pleading eyes looking into the empty space of the elevator shaft hoping but knowing what she wished to appear would never be answered. Nao had pulled her into her arms, her own tears silently trailing down her dirt stained face. She knew she disliked Rrushi, but that was because the female soldier was competition for Natsuki's heart, and although she was sure she had lost and she had excepted that, only to hate Rrushi more because of it, she felt terrible sorrow from the death of the woman. No one deserved to die like that, no one deserved to be killed, at least not people like the red eyed woman. She had been helping them from the beginning and yet all that work was now for nothing, the woman was gone forever, and they where stuck in hell with no guide out.
"Natsuki we have to get going…"
"Rrushi…"
As much as it hurt her to say it Nao had no choice. "She's gone Natsuki…" She had to get them moving, or else everything that the female soldier had done for them would have been for nothing. As she explained this to her companion Natsuki could only nod her head sadly her eyes puffy with tears and hollow with remorse.
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
"You need to get up Shizuru." a soft voice said quietly.
"Huh?" Shizuru looked around herself she was in a void of blackness, she was use to such sights though, places such as this existed in her nightmares. However this darkness wasn't cold nor haunting, no blood flowed no whispers from the dead. No instead she felt warm and at ease.
"Shizuru you cannot stay here." The voice came once more sounding in front of her yet behind her and to the sides of her as well.
"Who's there…"
"Shizuru it is best for you to wake up." And there finally the voice showed itself. What it was Shizuru couldn't grasp, there before her was what appeared to be a holy being and its body shimmered in glorious light, soft pure white silk dripped and curved and twisted into what looked like a dress or perhaps a robe? The light soft glow soothed Shizuru's senses and her skin tingled and prickled at her finger tips. What was this, was she dead? Was this an angel ready to lead her to the path of heavens gates, but how could that be so when she knew so well she belonged in hell?
The form of light dulled slightly allowing Shizuru to see features of the heavenly being and she stole Shizuru's breath away. The beautiful woman smiled softly down at her.
"Ellis…" Shizuru's whispered, how she knew that the glowing woman was little Ellis she did not know but despite the picture on Williams desk being that of a little girl with blonde hair and blue eyes much like his own, she felt as though the presence of this woman was familiar and it was truly Ellis.
"Your body is weak Shizuru but your heart is strong and so is your courage, you cannot allow yourself to be defeated."
"Am…am I dead?" ruby eyes clashed with electric blue that seemed to shine even brighter due to the yellow glow of the woman who hovered over her.
"No it's not yet your time, you must fight the darkness the resides around you."
"How can I? When I have already failed Natsuki."
The figure slowly reached out her hand and traced the cheek of the stunned soldier, her eyes kindly looking into those that felt so defeated. "You have not yet failed not as long as you have strength and the love in your heart to lead your way. Do not give in so easily Shizuru. The ones who lose themselves in the dark, are the ones who do not search for the light."
"The light…" Shizuru echoed her eyes never blinking fearing the one she believed that was Ellis would disappear.
"Yes, tell me Shizuru what is your light, what guides you through the darkness. You must search for it, you must search for it and find your way out. Or parish in endless darkness for eternity." The glow of the woman slowly began weakening until she was gone and blackness now completely surrounded Shizuru once more.
"No wait come back!" She begged but no one was listening, no one was there to listen, Shizuru crumbled to her knees sobs filling the air as tears strained down her face and onto the floor that was as black as the ceiling. Was it even floor or perhaps she was floating in darkness, she would never know, she didn't want to know. The longer she cried though the more hopeless she felt, the more haunted and cold she felt. Who knows how long she had been crying there and it felt like hundreds of years, or was it a minute.
"I…what do I do? There's no light to be found!" She yelled anger building into her as her eyes furiously searched her entire surroundings, there was nothing just blackness all around her every where. "What light!" Pulling her head into her hands she sobbed harder trying to control the tears but it didn't work nothing worked. She had failed at her mission she had failed at escaping and most importantly she had failed Natsuki…
"Natsuki…" The name felt comforting on her lips, the taste of the girls name on her tongue was pure and sweet and her mind wondered to the good times she had with Natsuki. She began walking without realizing, her mind to occupied by the path way to the night they had spent with each other the other day when Shizuru had given her Durans letter. Her mind was to occupied by the picture of Natsuki face lighting up in pure joy at the good news before tackling her to the ground with a grateful hug. Natsuki was so beautiful, so amazing, her voice her eyes, the blush on her cheeks when she was teased, the way she flicked her hair over her shoulder, all of it was beautiful. Despite everything Natsuki's eyes had always been defiant, willing and strong. They had always been filled with light…
"My Natsuki…" Shizuru murmured feeling warmer and warmer as she continued with the happy thoughts. Her entire mind was consumed with images of the younger girl, she hadn't even noticed the darkness receading twisting and curling away as if fearing the light that was replacing its dark essense until the void she dwelled in was that of pure white. "I'm coming…"
=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Now Brook wasn't always one to be anxious, she never really had time for that. However right now was a different story, after all she had a mission to do! And the most important variable to it was, passed out cold on the floor at the mouth of an elevator shaft. At first she had worried, worried that the woman she had been assigned to assist was dead. However upon closer inspection she had found out the the woman was not dead but just out like a light. She hadn't witnessed what had happened but she sure as hell had heard it! She had heard a loud crash and came running seeing that there was no elevator in the shaft and on the ground was Shizuru, she could only assumed what happen due to the reports of the other soldiers she had blended in with. They had said something about cutting the cords of the elevator in order to kill the traitors, well apparently Shizuru wasn't one to lose the upper hand.
"Come on wake up…" Sighing Brook looked down the hallway, the coast was still clear thankfully. She was far to anxious, not so much for Shizuru, the woman was tough as nails and she had already attended the Spy's wounds. No she was worried about Natsuki, the girl she had heard about in reports, she was just a simple girl no training in combat whats so ever. Now if she wasn't in the damn elevator that now lay at the bottom in wreckage then where was she? A muffled groan alerted the spy who turned back towards Shizuru who was finally beginning to wake up.
"About time." Brook mumbled to herself and made her way over to the red eyed soldier and stood over her. Shizuru woke up in a start and paniced even more when she saw a soldier clad in the camps uniform standing over her.
Her instincts kicked in and she swept her leg under the other soldier and watched the woman crush onto her back which she quickly took advantage of and pounced onto the stranger and pulled back her first to give a knock out blow. "WAIT!" Shizuru halted her actions. Why? She didn't know usually she went for the kill without hesitation. Brook quickly licked her lips "What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees up,up it goes and yet never grows?" Brook said the practiced riddle quickly knowing that Shizuru hesitation was rare and most likely only a mistake due to her stubor from just waking up from a nasty fall.
Eyes widening and processing the riddle, a weary smile graced Shizuru's lips. "A moutain." She whispered and got off the stranger, she could now call an allie. They had come up with codes before operation Prom Night in order to tell the differene between allie and foe. She helped up the poor woman and looked around, "Where is Natsuki."
"I don't know ma'am…" Brook looked down at her feet and then back at the other woman. Despite what she had endured she looked perfectly fine, the older woman was truly a amazing person. "I found you here alone and out cold."
"Then we need to move. We must find Natsuki and Nao." Assuming that the girls were still trying to escape she continued trying to reach the 4th floor.
"Nao, Ma'am?"
"Natsuki's friend, its because Natsuki's friend was still in the camp that we came back I tried to convince her not to but shes stuborn." Scowling slightly Shizuru made her way with her allie through the halls slowly picking their way through each corridor.
"We need to find them now…this isn't going to be good." Shizuru sighed sadlly fiddling with the breast pocket on her uniform.
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
"Where the hell are we…"
"I think this is the fourth floor." Natsuki looked around the cramp hall which was basicly a straight shot besides a few corners; why there was a fourth floor underground she had no clue. They had made it down a flight of stairs after avoiding a close call with some soldiers that were passing by, guns at the ready on high alert. Apparently news travels fast in a death camp. Why they were still looking was beyond her, maybe they had found Rrushi's body but not theirs and were still trying to keep them from escaping. She felt queezy at the thought of Rrushi's mangled body at the bottom of the elevator shaft, and nearly choked from trying to stop the gagging sensation that was tickling her throat, and causing her eyes to water. Nao gently grabbed her hand squeezing it tightly knowing where her best friends mind was going. They both shared a quiet moment looking into each others eyes trying to comfort the other.
"If it means anything at all Natuski…I never meant the things I said about her to you earlier…I was just angry." Passing slightly Nao turned back to face Natsuki.
"Nao…"
"I was just jealous…she got all your attention, an..and I know the way she looked at you…I could tell be...because that's how I looked at you."
Looking at the red head for what felt like eternity she sucked her teeth and searched her friends eyes but didn't really know what she was searching for. Opening her mouth but closing it repeatedly Natsuki sighed saddly and flicked her hair over her shoulder. What the hell was she suppose to say? She knew Nao's feelings for her, and she was starting to realize that Nao may be right about Rrushi having feelings for her. Now that she looked back on everything it seemed so obvious…
"We should get going Natsuki."
"Nao I."
"Its fine Natsuki, I know your sorry that's all that matters, as corny as that may sound." Shrugging her shoulders the red head smiled as best as she could to her best friend and tried to look less…sad. She had lost to Rrushi, even if she wasn't there anymore. She could see it even if Natsuki couldn't, she could see that her friend loved Rrushi and if they were to ever escape…if Rrushi had lived then she knew they would have been together. She just needed to except that, and even though Rrushi was gone now she doubted that she would be Natsuki's next choice. They were best friends and that's all they'd ever be.
"Nao I want you to know that I-"
"KUUUGAAA!" emerald eyes widened in shock.
Bang! Bang!
=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Heavy footsteps smacked against the concrete floor followed by labored breaths. Blue eyes searched franticly blonde hair dampened with sweat and eyebrows twitched nervously. Stopping near a group of soldiers with a large saw he stopped at the mouth of the elevator and looked down. Rage was swimming through his veins and boiling to the surface.
"WHERE IS HE!"
"Sir?"
"WHERE IS HE!" Williams grabbed the soldier harshly and lifted him up by the collar of his uniform.
"We cut the cables sir…he..he was in it, theres no way he would of survived." The soldier stuttered fear clear in eyes and voice. Growling like an animal he threw the soldier down the shaft and took off running. A sickening splat from Williams victum echoed in the shaft. William ran out of the building and towards the other side of the camp until he reached an identical building and rushed down to the fourth floor eyes furiously searching.
"Rrushi I will find you, theres no way you died so patheticly." he hissed. His body felt tense and his hands twitchy ready to kill anyone who stood in his way to Rrushi. He wouldn't rest until he got his hands on him, he would blow the whole god damn camp up and everyone in it if he had too! Grey walls streamed with stains from past floods no one was in sight. He came to a sudden halt his furious eyes dimed and hazy.
"What the hell Rrushi…" clutching his heart he fought back the pricking tears that threatened to form. Why the hell was he crying? What the fuck was wrong with him! He was a killing hating machine there was no need for tears none! Growling he slamed his fist into the concrete wall and gritted his teeth at the throbbing pain. He hadn't broke it be he sure as hell hurt it enough to hear a popping sound and scrap some of the skin off.
"I'll find you." ignoring the pain in his hand he continued down the hall as it seemed to strech on forever. The further he went the more he could swear he could hear voices, and to his anger he recognized them. "Kuga." His voice dripped poison, his mind went blank at raging thoughts of how everything was her fault. She had corrupted his companion made Rrushi soft made Rrushi fall in love and risk everything for her! Turning the corner his eyes fell on the black haired girl and one of his prisoners.
"KUUUUGA!"
Bang! Bang!
=o=o=o=o=o=o=
Time stood still, hearts beats stopped for a few seconds, eyes widened in terror the other pair widened in agony as searing pain erupted, burning steel ripped through flesh penetrating organs and buried themselves deep inside them. Natsuki's ears rang so loudly that she couldn't hear properly, her vision blurred. She blinked back tears at the sound of muffled screaming, her ears where ringing to loud to understand who was screaming and what they were saying. Time spead up and air knocked itself out of her lungs as she ringing stopped her heart started and she realized she was the one screaming.
"NAO!"
"Nat..suki.." Nao looked down at the two large blood stains growing on her prisoner uniform from the two holes that where ripped into her lower back. Crumpling to the floor her body felt cold so damn cold. Natsuki quickly ran over to the red headed girl tears streaming down her face as she tried to put pressure on the wounds so much blood was spilling out.
"Nao! don't give up stay with me Nao!" Lime green eyes looked into emeralds. She tried licking her lips but she couldn't even feel them.
"I..its hu..hurts suki."
"No shh its ok your going to be ok." shaky hands gently pushed red bangs out of the younger girls eyes blood from her hands smeared gently across the girls paling face. "shhh its ok your going to be ok."
"I'm so cold…im so tired.."
"Nao…Nao!" She gently shaked the girl trying to keep her awake as the girls eyes began to roll back. "Nao please you cant leave me too I need you! Please you cant!" Tears streamed like a river and mixed with the blood pooling around them both soaking them. "you're my best friend Nao…please please I cant lose you I love you…"
"I..lo…love you too." Nao whimpered. Weakly she reached her hand up and gently cupped Natsuki's cheek in her hand and stroked it with the pad of her thumb. "I'm so sorry Natsuki…I cant…its not hurting anymore…I feel warm.
"No Nao please! don't!"
"I'm sorry…" Lime eyes looked up as if seeing something she smiled. "Mommy…sorry I kept you waiting…" Her eyes closed slowly never to open again as the rest of the blood pooled out of her body. Crying screams of anguish filled the hall along with pleading and begging for he best friend to come back went on unanswered.
Click
Natsuki faced Williams her eyes emotionless and hazy with tears. His gun pointed at her as he pulled back the hammer on his gun and glared down at her. "Go ahead a do it, I got nothing left." Slowly she looked back down at Nao's pale face; it finally looked peaceful and happy. She lowered her head and gently place her lips to Nao's cold ones before gently placing her down and standing up to face him. "Everyone I love is gone or dead so go ahead! I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING LEFT! KILL ME!" She screamed anger boiling and contorting her heart while it ached and withered under it all.
Not saying a word he aimed the gun at her head glared down the barrel of his pistol meeting her defying gaze. His hand began to shake.
"Hurry up and do it! Finish the job you've already taken everything I ever loved away from me! DO IT!"
"Williams…" silky Kyoto-ben tickled their ears as footsteps slowly approached from behind Natsuki. Emerald orbs widened in shock and Natsuki quickly whipped around to see Rrushi standing there in the halls door way; a gun trained on Williams.
