Chapter 10: Pyramid Puzzle
~*~
Rei was trying to think of anything to get her mind off the pain shooting through her arm at the moment. Suddenly a male scream brought her back to reality.
"REI LET GO NOW!" The Chinese boy ordered.
Rei was in shock; he had just called her by her name. It was something unexpected. Suddenly there was a loud crack, the cracking of bones. Rei's hand let go of the ledge, sending her, Wufei, and Duo falling down.
"See you in Hell!" The figure cried out.
Duo was crying like a child, Wufei was silent, and Rei tried to keep her cool. Suddenly the saw a white light at the bottom of the drop.
~*~
Rei opened her eyes to feel to strong arms wrapping around her body, once she fully awoke she noticed she was lying on top of someone. She looked to see it was Wufei, whose eyes were closed at the moment.
"He saved me…" Rei said in awe.
"No kidding…" Rei turned to see Duo hanging from a flagpole, which was attached to the wall, "Can you help me get down?" Duo pleaded.
"You can hang for a couple of seconds I have to help Wufei"
Rei had taken a couple of first aid classes with Ami at Tokyo University. So she checks for pulse and breathing. He was still alive which was good; she tried to wake him up.
"Wufei, wake up Wufei!" Rei shook his body.
"Alright onna, I'm up I'm up!" Wufei said sitting up.
"Your okay!" Rei glomped him, then let go.
"But your not!" Wufei grabbed her bloody arm, which was stained crimson.
"It's nothing, I'm fine." Rei smiled
"That looks painful, you should've let go."
"Well I made to choice not too"
Rei and Wufei made eye contact, Wufei looking into Rei's violet eyes he saw right pass her strong exterior and into her fragile soul. She hid whatever pain she held well. Rei stared into Wufei's dark orbs, she couldn't make out what was inside his mind. Suddenly she came back to reality and blushed furiously. She got up and walked over to Duo.
"Are you alright Duo?" Rei asked, getting him down.
"I just have a little cut on my forehead, but everything else is fine."
"That's not a little cut Duo, it's really serious!" Rei went to her pack and took out some bandage and gauze pads. "Sit down Duo, and I'll get your wounds better in no time."
Wufei watched the scene in disgust. Well maybe not disgust, but you could tell he was green with envy. Rei, the girl he thought he was developing feels for was helping his archenemy. It was wrong.
Baka onna, Braided baka what disgust…
"Alright you should be better now!" Rei smiled and got up.
"Now what are we supposed to do?" Duo asked.
"Don't look at me for answers braided baka" Wufei said.
"Sorry, Wu-man." Duo said teasingly.
"MAXWELL I WILL KILL YOU!" Wufei took out his katana and began to chase Duo, who was running for his life.
"GUYS CUT IT OUT, COME BACK!" Rei chased after the two.
Duo ran into a small room, Wufei followed but once Wufei walked through a clear door closed behind him.
"GET ME OUTTA HERE!!" Duo cried.
Suddenly something began to move.
"Is it getting smaller in here or am I hallucinating again?" Duo asked.
"CRAP IT IS GETTING SMALLER IN HERE!" Wufei noticed the walls moving.
Rei ran up to the clear door and banging on it, trying to find a way to open it. There was a small voice behind her.
"You have the gift of spirit, close your eyes and use this gift to your advantage and you will save your friends." The small girl told Rei.
"What?"
"Use your powers, for you are a Spirit Mage, enter the spiritual dimension and pull Wufei and Duo of there!" Then the girl was gone, leaving Rei confused.
Rei closed her eyes, trying to do as the girl had said, suddenly every molecule in her body felt as light as a feather. It was like she wasn't even there. She walked towards the door and her hand went right through it. She continued and grabbed Wufei and Duo pulling them out quickly. Once they were out Rei return to the "living" world once again.
"Woah, how'd you do that?" Duo asked.
"I dunno, it must be part of being a Spirit Mage."
"Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, thanks onna for saving me and the braided baka."
"No problem!" Rei smiled. "Well since were down here I guess we should look around for a way to get back to the main floor. We need to get that book, I have a feeling its one of the ancient items!"
"Alright!" Duo walks forward and suddenly finds himself stepping on yet another button, this time another wall moves out of the way leading down a corridor, there is someone chained to the wall on the far side.
Rei runs to the person, she inspects for any wounds.
"She's…perfectly fine?"
The girls eyes burst open, scaring Rei.
"But you won't be!"
The girl ripped the chains out of the wall and began to choke Rei.
"REI!" Wufei charged the demon girl and cut of her hands. This freed Rei, but the Demon girl was unaffected.
"You bastard…now all of you shall perish!"
