Ghost shrunk under the intense glares of Tala and Kuja. "Eh…hehhehheh… oops?" Ghost grinned, then nimbly dodged the punch Tala sent him and the kick Kuja sent him. "I said sorry already!! Stop attempting to hit me!!"
"Stay still!!!" Tala growled, while Kuja said in frustration, "Just get hit already!!"
Then… "AHHHHHHH!!!!" Ghost screamed.
"What's wrong?" Kuja immediately dropped his fighting stance.
"…Nothing," Ghost grinned. "Kai's unhappy is all, but that should mean the world ending to you." Indeed, Kai had glittering eyes, tears threatening to fall any moment now. "…Don't fight, Tala…Kuja…" He looked at Ghost with inquisitive eyes, then smiled softly. "What's your name? I'm Kei." Ghost had a feeling of dejavu then.
"Ehh, Chi-" Ghost smacked his head. Ahhh, I was gonna say Chiba Korowai again… "Gho-" No, no, that was his idol name, he didn't want to mess up Kai's memories in case he regained them. "I'm…Fang." Kai beamed at him. Oh god, not that bright smile… I don't deserve such a bright smile… Tala and Kuja seemed amused at his misery. Damn those… *censored*
"Ay, we're stuck here unless we get help…" Ghost sighed. "Tala, tilt your head back and howl." Tala shot him a confused look, but Ghost insisted, "Just do it!" Tala tilted his head back to give a loud, sorrowful howl. Ghost, at the same time, took in a deep breath and let out a pleasant, enhanced note of melody. "Okay, that's enough, he should be able to get it," Ghost was satisfied.
"Who's he?" Kuja's voice hinted of jealousy, which he tried to suppress.
"My gay friend," Ghost shrugged. "Aaron, remember? He's the one who taught me the melody to put people to sleep, but he didn't say that there were side effects!" Kai ruffled Kai's hair, and Kai gave a giddy smile, purring. Ghost knew all of his weak spots. Tala glared at Ghost, who pretended not to notice, whistling away.
Then, there was an announcement. "Ahem. Being the nice person I am… I'll allow you to choose one representative to get tortured… and the rest will be spared." It was Boris's voice… Ghost pushed himself up, only to get pulled down by Kuja. "He's trying to break up or team spirit! If it's torture, we get it together!"
"NO!" Tala growled. Both looked at him in surprise. Kai just seemed confused. "I will not let him hurt Kai while Kai's in such a delicate state."
"But you can barely stand," Ghost said pointedly. "Let me go. It's always been me." Ghost noticed Kuja staring at him, or more accurately, at his left eye. Ghost covered it with his fringe hurriedly. "Fang… your eye…what the hell happened to it?"
Ghost covered his eye with his hand almost in fear. "It's… It's nothing at all… Just drop it…" Kuja glared at him commandingly, and Ghost began to fidget. Such was the power of Kuja, the reason he was made leader. Kuja crawled over to him and moved Ghost's hand away with slight force and pushed away the fringe.
There was a nasty cut above his left eye, and due to lack of treatment, the blood that got into the left eye dried and closed his eye. It was very possible that Ghost might turn blind. "How long…" Kuja mumbled, gently stroking the wound. "How long have you been keeping this from us…?" Ghost looked ashamed of himself.
"I'm sorry for forcing my ideals on you guys even though you're in such states," Kuja smiled faintly. "I fail as a leader… I… I shall go be the representative now, it's the least I could do..." Ghost caught onto his sleeve. "It might be selfish of me, leader, but don't… don't go…" There was a whirl of emotions swirling in that one golden eye.
"…Someone has to go," Tala muttered,
"Why can't I go?" Kai asked sweetly. "Since no one wants to, I can-" Ghost shook his head. "No, not you… they can't have you… I've already made too many mistakes, I can't make another." Kai didn't seem to understand what Ghost was talking about, so Ghost smiled warmly at Kai, who smiled back. So oblivious…
"Scissors paper stone?" Ghost suggested, shrugging. Kuja seemed horrified that Ghost came up with an idea like that during such a dire situation. They did so, and it came up with Tala as the loser. "I shall go now," Tala said sadly. He pushed himself up with slight difficulty. Kuja patted his back and Ghost gave him a sympathetic look as he went out of the door.
It was after hours that Tala came back, pushed in by some random worker. He was all bloody and bruised, practically dripping blood. He fell to the floor with a sick thud. His eyes were staring at nothing, diluted, his body shivering and shivering. He was in such a bad state that everyone immediately rushed to him.
"What's wrong with him??" Kai wailed, very much alarmed by the amount of blood.
They didn't reply, Kuja started undressing Tala and Ghost ripped off strips of cloth from his shirt and pants to bandage Tala. Kuja helped him in that process, with murmurings of 'put more pressure', 'ties it tighter'. Kai began shaking himself, a hand over his mouth as he felt bile rise up his throat.
Kuja noticed and soothed Kai by patting his back gently, whispering softly, 'It's okay, everything's alright…" Meanwhile, Ghost concentrated on wiping blood off Tala's face and limbs. "You better not die on us, bloody bastard." Kai scurried over to Tala and made a low whining sound.
Tala's reply came in a whimper.
"He's okay," Kuja sighed in relief. "But I'm worried about his blood loss…" At that moment Kai's stomach growled. It had been a day since they ate anything, two days for Tala, one and a half for Ghost.
Ghost glanced sadly at Kai. Had he lost his control over his stomach that he craved food after such a short time? "Oh, we're not going to survive like this. EAT ME IF YOU NEED TO!!!" Ghost said dramatically, and got hit in the head by Kuja. Ghost fell down on the floor and pretended to be knocked out.
Kai gasped. "YOU KILLED HIM!!!"
"No, I didn't! I swear!! Ghost, you're pretending, right??? Right?" Kuja was panicking.
"MUDERER!!!" Kai pointed at Kuja accusingly. That was when Ghost sat up and rubbed the back of his head. "Man, Kuja, do you hit harddddd…" Kai wandered over to Ghost worriedly. "Are you okay?" Ghost smiled and nodded, playfully tousling the boy's hair. Kai giggled with glee.
Then, there was silence as everyone looked at Tala. This was serious… they had to escape soon… Kuja slung Tala across his shoulder, looking at Ghost. Ghost nodded. They had to take the risk… Ghost took out a pin and began fiddling with the door knob. No doubt Boris was watching this on surveillance camera. The door opened and Ghost looked at Kuja in confirmation.
Kuja nodded and smiled at Kai. "Let's go, Kai."
"Where we going?" Kai asked cutely.
"To eat ice-cream," Ghost lied blatantly, grinning as Kuja shot him an exasperated look. "Come on," Ghost smiled encouragingly at Kai, who nodded and took Ghost's outstretched hand trustingly. Ghost smiled sadly at this, but pulled Kai along. "We're gonna run, okay, Kai?"
Kai smiled and nodded. "Okaay!!"
*With the Blitzkrieg boys*
Bryan, Ian and Spencer were freaking bored, until Chaos came again. "WTF ARE YOU GUYS STILL DOING?!?! GO HELP THEM ESCAPE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!!!" Chaos screamed. "SPENCER, YOU GO IN TO HEAL THEIR INJURIES SO THEY CAN FREAKING COME BACK ALIVE! AARON WILL GO WITH YOU!"
Aaron appeared at the mention of his name, smiling and waving. "Ooh, which one's Spencer?" Chaos pointed it out to him. "OOH! He's a person like me! What kind of food do you cook?" Spencer smiled at this, and they went to talk about cooking and sewing and stuff.
"Geez, Ghost owes me big," Chaos rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to help anymore."
"I wonder why Kai didn't contact us…" Ian wondered as Chaos went home, while Spencer and Aaron went into the building.
Bryan shrugged. "Maybe Boris found out. Anyway, now that the men are left, wanna go into the moe moe company again?" (He's implying that Spencer is female.)
"WHAT?! NO! That place is sick! All the girl cooties… Besides, we have a mission!" Ian freaked out.
"Hmm, to aid their escape… let's hijack a truck…" Bryan grinned devilishly.
"You can drive, Bryan?" Ian asked in awe.
"…No." Bryan smirked. "Come on, how hard can driving be? Let's go find a truck now!!"
*With the rebel army*
"ENDURE!" Ghost hollered to Kuja. Kuja was dead tired; it was obvious in his half-hearted movements. They have been fighting many, many guards. Kuja ad Ghost were fighting back to back, in between them was Tala and Kai, whom they were trying to protect. Tala has mustered enough strength to summon his wolves, but they were heavily outnumbered.
Ghost shot down more foes, though his aim was slightly off. Ghost growled. Well, at least his bullets were unlimited… Tala's wolves lunged at the guards and sunk their teeth in, tearing out chunks of flesh. Kuja clawed at his victims blearily, movements sluggish. They were all hungry and tired. Kai covered his ears and closed his eyes in fear. All the blood and screams…
Kai screamed as someone got close to him. Tala shielded Kai, but Ghost shot the man in time to protect the both of them. Ghost gave Kai a weary but reassuringly smile as he went to fight again. There seemed to be no end to this… They were having no progress…
Then a disgustingly sweet cry came, "Ghost darling! Kai baby!" Ghost let out a huge grin then, "OMFG! AARON! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU BEFORE!!!" Spencer beat down a couple of guys, before rushing over to heal Tala. Aaron tossed Ghost a guitar, before settling down beside Kai and humming a soft relaxing tune.
Kai's eyes rolled back in his head before he turned back to normal. "Where… Where am I?" Ghost smiled even wider at that, strumming his power-enhanced guitar(1) with a crazy upbeat tune. Instantly everyone felt more energized, fighting with new vigor. Kai also joined in the fight, slashing at enemies with his daggers and shooting random fireballs while he protected everyone's bodies with a wall of electricity that nothing could penetrate through.
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!!!" Ghost hollered, playing the guitar with all he had. Kuja went into his savage mode, suddenly much faster than the eye could see, and annihilated all the enemies. Everyone rode on Tala's wolves as they proceeded to the closest exit. They were stopped by Shadow and Boris.
Boris's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "Come, Kuja…" He pressed a button, and Kuja started to convulse. "KUJA!" Ghost hurried over, but was thrown back when Kuja pushed him away, face emotionless. "Goddammit…" Ghost muttered.
Kuja was freaking powerful in his savage mode. And Ghost was beaten by Shadow before, and was handicapped by his left eye. Kai and Tala would work better together… "Red phoenix, Blue wolf, take Shadow," Ghost commanded. He was leader because Kuja wasn't himself right now…
Ghost glared at Kuja, "I'll take him… anyone wants to join?" Spencer readied his tonfas and nodded. Ghost tossed the guitar back to Aaron, who nodded and began playing the tune that made the four stronger. "I'm sorry, Kuja. I have to do this." He took out his whips and charged them with electricity that Kai provided. He slashed at Kuja, who dodged and went behind him, but Spencer spotted him and attacked.
Kuja nimbly dodged the blow, smirking as his fangs grew even longer and sharper. In a flash he was behind Spencer, and he dug his fangs into Spencer's neck. "SPENCER!!!" Kai was distracted. Shadow threw a huge knife at Kai, which Tala saw and pushed Kai out of the way. The knife cut off Tala's right arm. Tala screamed in agony.
"FUCK!" Ghost screamed. He couldn't be distracted! He took the chance to attack Kuja, who dodged a fatal blow but got hurt. Spencer clutched at his neck, trying to stop the blood flow and healing it. Kai's eyes went wide in alarm. "Bastard… YOU'LL PAY FOR HURTING TALA!!!!" Kai charged at Shadow, and they exchanged blows. Kai caught Shadow by surprise when he shot a fireball at Shadow's leg. Shadow's leg had a part missing, and now people could see wires.
"What the…" Kai murmured. A robot? Shadow swiped at Kai, and Kai dodged, almost too late. Shadow's eyes held a tinge of shame.
Meanwhile, Aaron sneaked behind Boris and then…
SMOOCH!
Ghost knew it would happen, but still, he puked. Then Tala puked. Then Kai puked. Then Spencer puked. And though Shadow couldn't puke, he looked like he was gagging. Oh yeah, you guessed it, Aaron kissed Boris. Sick. It was damn sick. It was a French kiss. Aaron just used his kiss of control.
"Free Kuja," Aaron ordered. Boris freed him. Kuja looked around. "What the… what happened?"
Shadow glared at all of them. "Kuja, fight me. A one-on-one fight!!"
Kuja nodded, and everyone gasped in surprise.
