Chapter five: Desert Symphony
"Ready..Fire!" A tall woman called out, her short black hair whipping along with her fluent movements as she flung her arm out, signaling all to fire.
Throughout the area, the Desert of Sorrow, gun shots and bullets falling to the sand were heard. All behind the tall woman fired, except one, who was behind them sitting, holding a sword against her, the sword taller then her, by far when she sat.
The tall woman looked onto the girl sitting, but quickly turned her gaze away when over 100 men came attacking her, and her comrades. Throughout the whole escapade, the one girl stayed in her position, her ruby eyes dulled as she stared at the ground. She wore all black. Black cape, black pants, black shirt, and even the sword's hilt was black. Everyone wore black, who was with the tall woman.
A huge, muscular man, who looked about 40, came up behind the sitting girl. He reeled up his huge metallic sword and got ready to slam its side into the girl's head, until the tall, black haired woman dove and grabbed the girl in her arms, rolling and evading the sword's impact.
The tall woman quickly stood up, and turned on her heel while flipping out a Desert Eagle and shot the man square in the forehead, thus ending his life. The whole scene lasted for over two hours.all those who opposed the black haired woman's team we're dead. And, of course, over half of her comrades were dead as well.
"Lina..are you alright?" the tall woman spoke quietly, the red eyed girl still in her arms. Lina looked up to her, nodding slightly, her eyes still dulled.
"I'm fine..Shakura.." she said, gripping the sword close to her. Shakura gently put Lina down onto her feet, then gazed to the survivors still standing.
" Everyone, into the jeeps. We're heading back to base. Now." Shakura called out, her voice sounding harsh, yet at the still time gentle. She walked and got into a jeep, and pulled Lina in with her. Lina sat next to Shakura, one leg sprawled out infront of her, her other one pulled close to her chest. She looked onto the quickly moving scenery, going back to the thoughts she was encountering when the attack had been taking place...
*flashback*~
"Hey, it's a kid!" Shakura called out, pulling a young eight year old out of the pile of sand. As she looked to the child, she saw numerous scars on her arms and legs. She quickly spotted a bullet hole in her chest.
Her eyes narrowed as she held the girl in her arms, and walked back to the five men who were behind her. The girl was awake the whole time, even though her eyes were tightly shut, due to the sun's violent rays.

"Lina?" a voice spoke out, wakeing the girl from her thoughts. Lina pulled her head up to come face to face with a young woman, who's glasses slid slightly on her nose, as she stared with concern at Lina. "Are you O.K? You were spacing out back there.."
Lina smile slightly at the emerald eyed, sixteen year old. "I'm fine, Parapu." They both smiled, sat in the back of the jeep, looking to the sky, filled with the smell of blood.
