Chapter five
God's Left Hand
Pain.
That was the first thing Sora had expected to feel. But instead, he felt a strange warmth, following up with feeling his body fall against the cold cement floor.
He didn't feel dead, but was too shocked or scared to even open his eyes to see anything. He felt the warmth leave as soon as it had come.
The brunette heard another gunshot.
This time, though…he found the strength to overcome his sudden shock to lift himself to a sitting position. The first thing he saw was the figure standing still, not moving or anything..
The youth could also see crimson liquid spill out of the side of the black clad figure's head, along with bits and pieces of a pink/gray like substance oozing along the side of their face.
The liquid was everywhere, on the walls…
The ground…the crates…
Even on him, and the other figure who was standing right beside him, a gun held up with smoke spewing itself from where bullets must have left for their flight.
It took him a while to calculate whom or what had happened, but tilted his head up and scared eyes, which brimmed with swift and small tears from seeing the sudden rush of death to his now figured out savior.
"Riku…?" Sora was confused, why would Riku have a gun? No one exept those who worked for K.A.R.M.A were allowed to carry any weapon of any sort…so why would…
The blue eyed boy was cut short of his musings when 'Riku' pulled him up into his arms. It wasn't until then that Sora noticed his savior was wearing the same coat he had seen on his attacker, and on his friend. He also noticed that Riku had gotten taller, or maybe his mind was playing tricks on him.
"You're wounded."
"Huh..?" Sora cut himself short on feeling a quick jab of pain pulse through his arm which hung low at his side, while the other resting near Riku's chest and along his own stomach. Silver strands fell from the hood and laid upon Sora's cheeks, which caused to him to un-stiffen…
"..Thanks.." was all the young boy could muster to say as he slipped in un consciousness, the tears which found themselves close to the blue depths of the youth slip down his now blood tainted cheeks.
He felt a swift movement of warm, gloved fingers wipe away his tears…
Then everything went blank.
--
Bang.
"What the hell…" Riku murmered as the few people that were in the High Wind fled at the second sound of a gun shot which had happened. Only one thing flew into his mind when he heard Cid say that this one must've come from somewhere in the alley…
Sora!
"What're you doing, kid!?" Riku had pushed the old, but not-feeble man to try and get through, but felt his arms being locked behind him by the smoking bar keeper.
"Fuck, let me go old man! Sora might be out there!" Struggling, he kept trying to get loose, but with no avail at the moment. Glaring with utter hatred boiling up, he ripped his gaze to Cid, whom was looking sternly at him, with just as much prejudice towards him.
"Look, kid. Sora is smart, he probably fled when he heard the first gun shot. Why the hell do you care so much for a guy you met just three weeks ago, anyways?" That question hit him like a brick to his thick head.
Why did he care anyway? He was never this emotional...not even to Kairi. But it just felt like he had to….he didn't know why.
He just had to.
"…Get off!" Finally pulling away from the man's grip, the silver haired youth ran through the kitchen to the back door, kicking it open, hoping to see Sora there, safe and sound…
But all he found was the corpse of a man whom looked like he had his brains blown out. Along with crimson splatters scattered everywhere along the walls and beyond.
He felt his heart sink as he looked around, and saw no sign of his chocolate haired friend, only one sleek, black feather swaying in the wind's dance.
"…Damnit…"
--
"Are you sure this is him?"
"Yes. I am sure."
"Heh, whatever you say buddy…"
"Tch. Shut up."
What's going on…? Sora opened his eyes slightly, waiting for them to focus onto the brightness of where he was currently. Then he saw a blur of yellow appear suddenly in his vision. After waiting he saw a grinning face, which belonged to a 18 year old man.
"Weeellll…our little guest has woken up. Wondering if you died or something…well, Barret was at least…"
Groaning lightly, he closed his eyes again and looked to his arm where a dull pain still ran through his arm. It was neatly bandaged, blood starting to be seen clearly through the gauze. Returning to the face of whom was in his vision before, he whispered enough to be audible to those close.
"..Who are you…and where am I?"
The man chuckled, and pulled back the golden locks which had slipped from the back of his ear.
"My name's Zidane Tribal. And your in the headquarters of Tantalus, the left hand of God, you could say."
--
Guh, I keep stopping at cliffhangers. I can't help it. XD few notes…
Tantalus: Not sure how it's spelled, but it's the Theater Ship in FFIX, I've just switched around it's role to be an organization, like K.A.R.M.A(Thought KARMA was my original name. Sorta.)
So there ya go. Reviiieeewww ;; ::jingly jing of the cup::
