I clutched that leaf for who knows how long. It protected me. I t seemed to ease the pain. Like he was there ... to shelter me....
Riku- "Where is she?" My voice echoed throughout the chamber. "What have you done with her?" It magnified my anger by about 10 times."Why won't you let me reach her?"I thrust a fist into the air. Of course it hit nothing. Why don't you face me? "I could beat you! Just fight. You'll see." But they didn't respond. Of course."Cowards!"
I kept seeing her. Images which flashed before me, blinding me. They tried to hold me back but they wouldn't ever succeed. I wouldn't let them win. "You've done this before. I won't let you do it again. " ....."Do you think you can weaken me again?! You should think, if you have enough power to. Rot in this place they call hell forever, for all I care. There is no saving you."
"Help me!!" I started. "Whaa...." "Please!!" "Who's there?" "Help.....I'm suffering....." I started to recognize the voice now. Sharp as a blade, but as sweet as a bell. "Where are you???!?!?!" "I'm here!" "Where is here?" "The Middle of Darkness!!!!!"
Lakura- "Hello!?Help me!!!" I heard a faint voice. A whisper maybe, but anything was better than nothing. "Are you still there?" "Yes! I don't know where you're at! I ...can't find you...You're lost to me!" "I daren't move! Then I'll be even farther away! And I can't tell you any more, because all I see is black! Oh!"
I stumbled off . I hadn't realized I was even standing. Could I even walk was not a question. I couldn't. They were softened. My legs. They were cut up too much.
"I could try humming.. Would that help?" "Anything is worth trying." I warmed up my throat. I thought of what I should hum. Any thing...I began and it went up and down, in a quavery sort of sing-song. It was dark, eerie, but that ws how I felt .Up...Down...Hold... My voice trailed off. It was weak and quavery."Don't stop!!"I can't do it anymore!" "Yes you can!"
No I couldn't..."Try!!! I hear you!!"I hummed and stepped foot to foot. I just knew it fitted my situation. My eyes watered but I just rubbed them angrily.Up.. Down...hold...Low...High...Low again.....Long...Short. Up...Up....Down....Hold... I stomped to keep warm and in tune. Oh..
"Is that enough? Did you hear?" "Yes! I think I am nearer. Can you send a signal?" "I ...think so." I sat up straight and put my feet below me. I held out my hands, cupped. I let tears fall. Just a small stream. I let it form a ball and rise above me. I lit it with a small amount of light. It could be clearly seen, despite it's weakness."Can you see it? I can't hold it for too much longer!" "Yes!! Can you see me?" "No!" "Hold it just a bit longer.."
Riku- I ran hard and fast. I reached out straight. "I have to let it go!!" I reached out and grasped . I hit flesh and grabbed her waist and twisted her around in mid run into a tight but gentle embrace. My blood soaked her through but she didn't mind. I just kept her close. She cried but we were together.. For now....
"Then she broke away." I'm a fool""What? You're no fool." "Yes I am. One minute I am crying in your arms, the next I am fighting. And in between that I am mourning over the past. I am stupid and weak." " You are putting yourself down..." "No." She cut me off. Her icy eyes flashed a faint brighter. They were angry. Very angry. " I am a fool. I am stupid. Admit it. There is only luck I survived this far! What happens when we reach the end? Hm? I will fall, and drag you down with me. Is that what you want???"
"No...""So good! I can't help you. I am only using you as a shield. I need to use myself. I need to be dependant on someone else. Not you. I love you but..." As I grabbed for her arm, she violently away, and pushed past."No." She walked nto the darkness. "Lakura!" She didn't come back.
But I had just found her. And now she was lost again.
