Important:
To get up these stories, I've had to neglect my homework. With the whole transition into 3rd year happening right now, I just need to catch up. It wouldn't be so much of a bother if I hadn't been missing the best to most parts of school for over the past year. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to wait a while. I had to get this last chapter up for you guys though.
Thank you for all of your reviews and favs and alerts. They mean the world and more to me. Thank you.
To Love
Kisshu's eyes fly open suddenly and he stares at the ceiling. Out of breath. Then, a glint catches his eye and he drags himself to his knees and reaches for the dagger. His fist closes around the handle and he sighs before getting to his feet. He glances around the room warily and wonders why he isn't dead. It definitely felt like he was dying earlier, but he hasn't been bleeding. Or maybe he's half dead and delusional. Zakuro did say that some people hallucinate during a near death experience from the lack of oxygen reaching the brain. It was never quite like what he was seeing though, so he shakes off that thought.
A loud screech comes from the metal shutters blocking the doors and windows. Then, with a great clatter they fall. Then, he turns his attention to the door. A scrambling sound rushes ever closer. Footsteps. He backs off and straight into the stone statue of a knight. The wall rumbles as it pulls away. With little to no other choice, Kisshu decides to take the exit and hope for the best. The walls are just like that other entrance. The cave walls and tunnel was carved out ruggedly. Mould is covering the entire passageway, along with the cobwebs and dust. There isn't even a glimmer of light anywhere.
Suddenly Kisshu comes to a stop. He frowns as a low grinding sound reverberates around the almost lifeless traverses. A moment or two after that, there is an ominous, eerie silence that rules over everything. Then, like lightning, there's a sudden burst of light. He follows that immediately and knows it's the right way. He stops at the corner and stares at the wooden door ahead of him. Then he flits across and slips in; being careful not to be seen by any hidden cameras or guards. If there is any. After a few steps, he realises that it's gone. He can't see anything, or smell the dank mildew. In fact, he can't hear the constant splashing of rain that somehow seeped through the layers of earth.
Then, more light comes from ahead and he reaches another door. Kisshu pushes it open and his eyes immediately widen at the sight before him. The lights are flickering on and off from the violet tinted ceiling. Then, he sees the white machines buzzing around erratically. The platforms with bookshelves upon bookshelves are moving in quick, jerking motions. He moves in further. No longer finding the strange electrical source that prevented him from using his species inherent abilities, he hovers over to the only still platform. Then from there onto the central platform.
"Zakuro!" he gasps.
"Argh!" Zakuro grimaces at the pain shooting through her.
Zakuro is slumped against the side of the podium. Her hand still trapped inside the power generator. The actual orb itself is flickering and emits electrical surges from itself. Kisshu dodges them and turns Zakuro to face him. Her eyes are half closed and she's close to falling unconscious. His hand jerks back when a current of electricity shoots down her arm. She winces again.
"Zakuro, what happened?" he demands, keeping her looking at him.
"Kisshu… The generator… I couldn't stop it…" then she passes out.
"What? No, Wake up!" he frowns.
In an instant, another surge forces him far back. He glares at the machine and stands up, moving towards it. He resists the surges that try their best to force him away. He ignores the sparks that graze his skin. Then, he reaches it. In his head, he has no real idea what to do, but he doesn't need to. On instinct, he reaches out and forces his own hand in. Pain shoots through him at the sudden electrical charge. It quickly fades from his mind though.
In the end, all that matters to him, and all that he's thinking about, is freeing her. Anything else he can deal with later, but right now, she is his goal.
