STONES OF MYTH: CHAPTER 2
"Were you successful Yoarashi?"
"Why ask?" An emotionless voice asked. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the blue stone. "Are you sure it is hers?"
"Positive, the energy readings were high when I scanned the area, and now they are off the charts. Yoarashi go change. A soaking wet person does not do well in a room full of equipment."
'Yoarashi' rolled his eyes. "Fine Setsuna, call me on my communicator when you know where the next stone is." He walked out, pulling the mask from his face, to reveal a girl with golden brown hair that fell just below her shoulder blades, and deep green eyes. Walking outside, she jumped onto her motorbike and drove off.
"Quatra are you sure you guessed their system right. I mean we have been watching this place for 3 days. And there has yet to be a disturbance." For the past three days Duo and Quatra had been watching the building that studied moon stones. While Trowa, Hiiro and Wufei were watching the facility that had spinel. They had drawn straws for who would have to do the stakeout with Duo and Quatra lost. To the happiness of the others. Yet no one had shown up. And Duo was getting tired of wasting his time.
"Yes Duo, even if I got their system wrong these two facilities are the closest to the last hit." Quatra was getting a little tired of Duo's whining and hoped that they would hit soon. Luckily His wish was granted. The alarms went off; people began fleeing from the building.
"I guess they have been practicing for this hu?" Duo joked. "Well, let's go!"
"No, we wait. All of the people are gone right. So just watch the building, we need to catch these people in the act."
"You're no fun." Duo whined yet again. They only sat there for a few seconds, and then heard a crashing sound.
"There!" Quatra yelled, pointing to a retreating figure, running threw the grass. The two jumped down, following the figure. "We can't let him escape!"
Yoarashi heard a loud voice yelling behind her. Looking back she saw two figures chasing her. God how she loved a challenge! Stopping Yoarashi pulled out her sword. Both boys stopped once they saw the blade, slightly shocked that this guy knew how to handle one. She smirked pointing her blade at them.
"You either turn back now or die." She yelled loud enough for them to hear.
"Give us the gem and we will leave!" Duo yelled back loud enough for everyone on the planet to hear.
"Good I didn't want you to leave anyway." She whispered, her began to glow green as she chanted in an ancient language, soon the sword glowed the same color.
"Um Quatra I don't think I should have said that." Duo said nervously. The blonde just glared at him. Taking out his gun, Quatra held it up; making sure that the man in front of him saw it.
"Put the weapon down or I will shoot!" Yoarashi laughed, and then charged the two.
"Um Quatra I think you made it worse." Quatra was beginning to regret having Duo as a partner.
"Stop or I will fire!" He had no choice, Quatra fired two shots. Yoarashi dodged the first, but the second slammed just below her collar bone. Though she was just shot, Yoarashi did not stop, or show any sigh of pain.
"Oh great another Hiiro." Duo weakly joked, thinking that he was about to die or worse loose his braid. Quatra had a mission, and he took it just as seriously Hiiro. I will not fail He shot until his gun was out of bullets. This shocked both Duo and Yoarashi. She was trained well, but no one could dodge that many bullets. Two hit her leg while one plunged into her side. Yoarashi grunted in pain, falling to her knees, the only thing that was holding her up was the sword.
"Setsuna...I failed."
