Rescue: Save Tessa?
Chapter 11 (I think)
A face was bent over her. Silvery hair framed its soft features like a halo of light. Worried blue-gray eyes peered down and full sensitive lips were dented with teeth marks.
"Tessa." Kaname stated, hoarsely, pushing the words through her throat. Tessa bent down and clasped Kaname to her, freely crying.
"I thought I lost you!" She sniffled, tears running over her pale cheeks. Kaname shrugged the girl off of her and shakily, stood up. She ran her fingers through her hair and felt wetness. She pulled back and her mind reeled at the sight of the blood on her fingers.
"What happened?" She gasped. Kurtz offered her his arm, and Kaname leaned on him, her head resting on his shoulder.
"The bullet grazed your head with no damage to your cranium. The projectile barely pierced the epidermis and-"
"In other words, the guy had the marksmanship of a pit bull and you just got a nasty scratch." Kurtz spoke, cutting Sosuke off, "I think even Melissa might be able to shoot better than that."
The figure of Melissa Mao loomed above him, her eyes dark and ominous.
"Uh...y'see Melissa is the best markswoman I know and I bet she could kick his a-"
"Where did Tessa's twin go?" Kaname fumbled with the words, her speech slurred by the pain. There was a complete a deadly silence, followed by the craning of many heads to look around the room.
"She escaped!" Kurtz cried out, almost leaping forward until he realized that Kaname was still balanced on him, and falling asleep.
"Amazing, Holmes!" Melissa's cutting voice hung in the air. Kurtz wasn't thinking off a snappy comeback, though. He was preoccupied with the young girl asleep against him. Without so much as a grunt, Kurtz lifted her up so she was reclining in his arms. A whimper escaped her parted lips and she cuddled closer, shivering. Melissa tossed her coat over the girl and smiled as Kaname fell into a deeper state of sleep. Sosuke looked at Kurtz and Kaname, expressionless and emotionless as it seemed.
"So, where'd she go?" Tessa's girlish voice piped up. Sosuke looked around, his eyes narrowing.
"I do not know, Captain."
"Well, you are about to find out, young Sagara!" A voice laughed from the rafters. The person's face was hidden in shadow, but something about the voice just spoke of déjà vu.
The figure swung down and landed. A collective and extremely large gasp echoed throughout the room. Tessa was looking down. She saw large, black combat boots. She kept looking farther and father up. Long camouflaged pants (standard army issue) were up by a thick black belt from which hung pistols and ammo cases. A men's drab green sleeveless undershirt revealed that indeed, the person was female due to the obvious protrusions on the torso. Slender arms cradled a mean looking sniper rifle.
An ivory neck supported a high cheek-boned face. Black eyes stared back at the Mithril captain with coldness. Soft, white-blonde hair framed a very recognizable face.
Tessa stumbled back at the realization.
It couldn't be.
But it was...
Yatori.
AFTERWARD:
Sorry it was so short. It is past my bedtime and I am tired. sniffles Yeah, I know there are implications here of a Kurtz/Kaname pairing but that is my job as a fanfic writer to open the most possible paths and then slam you with the grand finale which I am presuming is probably still many chappies away. I didn't get as much done tonight as I planned. Only two chapters of this and one more poem. Oh poo. I didn't even get to work on my corrections for my Garth Nix stuff. Oh, crap. I got to write the following stuff SOON:
Corrections for Lirael Poems (its Torrigan not Terrigor..oops)
Corrections for Breaking and Bonding, my Abhorson fic (oh yeah, the panpipes were destroyed, weren't they. Crap)
More Chapters of She is Waking (I got four typed up, three sent and no theme what so ever.)
More Chapters of Going Under ( so what if no one has reviewed? I love that fic, tis my favorite of my Flame of Recca fics ..well..then again..the other one sucked horribly)
More Chapters of Lirael Poems (gotta write a Dog one, and a Rogir one and a Clayr one and...)
More Chapters of breaking and Bonding (heck, its gonna be 20 chapters so I might as well get started, huh?)
More Chapters of this (gotta finish it sighs)
Gotta write more Ayashi no Ceres poems (hmm..maybe I should do an Alex one...)
Yeah..
Y'see I gotta lot of things to do. grumbles that is what happens when writers block hits one for many weeks (yeah, well its not my fault. You don't exactly feel very inspired when ur parents took away everything you love!)
A song from the play, Wicked is stuck in my head.
I'm gonna make you pop-u-ler
Lar
La-La-La-La
I'm gonna make you pop-u-ler!
No good deed goes unpunished! No act of charity goes unresented! No good deed goes unpunished! That's my new creed!
