Chapter 11 - Some Things Never Change
"You've got to do something about that hand," Kaiba coldly remarked. We were quickly and silently moving through the halls, past the identical doors.
"What do you think they keep in there?" I asked, trying to think of a possible answer, and looking at the rooms. No numbers, no identification.
=How can they get around this place?=
The creaking of a door made me jump, my gun held at ready. I relaxed slightly when I saw it was only Kaiba.
"You're lucky I didn't shoot," I breathed.
"Come on, in here," he nodded towards the empty room. I gave him a puzzled look, but walked quietly inside.
It was almost identical to the one we were confined in, but this one didn't have a window. When Seto partially closed the door, the room plunged into darkness. He moved over to where the thin light strip shone on the floor, and gestured for me to follow.
"What are we doing here?
He didn't reply until I was on my knees next to him. Seto reached for my hand, and turned it palm upwards, examining it. I wiped the blood off, so now my both hands and clothes were stained red.
Seto gently ran his thumb over the metal bullet still lodged in my palm, and frowned.
"We're going to have to take this out..." Even in the almost darkness I could have sworn he looked apologetic. He then looked into my face for the longest time.
"What?" I pouted.
"Nothing," he broke eye contact and shook his head. "Do you have anything we can use, pincers, -"
I pulled out my tweezers and put them unceremoniously in his hand. He started staring at me again.
"Damn it Kaiba, we're wasting time," I gritted my teeth and snatched my tweezers, set on doing it myself, but I hesitated when he was still staring at me with a pitying gaze.
He steadily grasped the tweezers in between his thumb and middle and pointer, drawing in breath as he neared the bullet with the pointed tweezer- ends. The blood has already started to clot around the metal, and it hurt when Seto prodded the lacerated skin apart.
"Are you sure?" he gazed at me with a hint of concern.
=Just a hint? No...=
"Not going to walk around with that thing under my skin, am I?" I nodded once, and turned away.
"Pull it out in one quick jerk," I told him quietly, and waited for it.
The first wave of pain shot up my arm when the tweezers made firm contact with the bullet, moving it slightly further into my hand. Then I felt the tissue pulling outward, steadily, with an increasing tug on my nerves. I bit my lip.
=This hurts more than actually getting shot=
Finally the chunk of metal broke free of my skin, and it didn't tug anymore. I sneaked a peek back at my hand, wincing in advance at what I would see.
Seto was wiping at the blood that was dripping out once again with the hem of his trench coat, but I couldn't feel the material on account of the earlier pain. He fetched some of my leftover bandages from my bad and expertly wrapped them around the wound, with a serious look on his face all through the procedure.
"Thanks," I whispered when he was done, but all I got in response was a curt nod. "By the way," I continued in the same hushed tone, "What was going on with you, before you stabbed that guard?"
He hesitated a little, seemed to be embarrassed about something, but quickly regained himself.
"What else could it be? If you'd known about my plans you would have given us out," he muttered, suddenly angry, and I felt my own temper rising.
"Oh, I see how that is, I don't need to know the specifics, because I'm not in the same situation as you, and it doesn't concern me!" I hissed. Kaiba sighed in frustration and shook his head.
I picked up my bag and my gun, and opened the door out into the hallway.
=Stupid Kaiba=
I quickly understood that it was quite a silly thing to do. It was as if the guards have followed the trail of their dead, and now were waiting for us. There must have been about five of them lining the far wall and the corners of the hallway we just came out through. For a moment I kind of stopped and stared, but when one of them gave the command to open fire, I didn't debate anymore. I started shooting at them, taking a step back with every shot. Maybe it took them by surprise, because they started shooting much later. I was almost at another corner, so I turned and ran.
I heard the gunshots behind me, and the little noises the bullets made in the wall in front of me, and I shut my eyes every time one of them would whiz close to my head. I blindly ran into something soft, and felt myself being dragged roughly around the corner, and heard gunshots going off really close to me.
For a while I ran with my eyes closed, always waiting for them to start shooting again, but they never did. I was swung around another corner, it seemed like, and suddenly it got dark. I thought it safe to open my eyes when I felt a cold wall behind my back. I was no longer in the hallway, but in yet another of those rooms, dimly illuminated by a crack in the door.
"Are you stupid??!!" Kaiba's voice raged a few minutes later, when the shuffling of feet outside subsided. I kept looking ahead, trying to discern his face in the darkness. I had no idea he was right in front of me until he drove his fist into the wall, very near my head, with such force his joints cracked.
"You could have gotten yourself killed!"
"But I didn't."
I started to feel more like myself, and got mad all over.
"You could have gotten me killed!" he continued yelling.
"You didn't have to go after me, you know!" I yelled back.
=Not this again= I inwardly groaned.
"Just because you don't care for anyone but yourself, doesn't mean it's like that for everyone!"
His stare was fixed on my face, he was impatiently waiting for my answer.
"If it got me this far, hell, I'm sticking with it," I told him, considerably calmed down, mainly because I knew this debate wasn't going anywhere.
=Might as well save my breath, it's like arguing with a brick wall=
"You're so unbelievable!" Kaiba continued in the same tone. "I've never met anyone like you! It's a miracle you're however old you are, and still retain the childish ideas of egotism!"
"That's right," I lifted my head to look him in the eye. "That would never change."
