RoboticCity, Poetic Love
Chapter 16: The voice of an angel
"Come on, over there." Youji and Ken say as they lead the way to the cell where Trowa and Wufei is staying. Quatre, Heroo, Duo follow Youji and Ken. Tsume is going to follow them when a laugh comes from the other side of the hall.
"Li..." Tsume says as he hears Li's laughing coming from not too far away. Tsume remembers Li's annoying laugh anywhere. Tsume runs toward where the robot is. "You bastard tin man. I will kill you if that's the last thing I do in my life. I won't let you get away with killing Akira…" Tsume mutters.
Omi supports Aya as they walk out to the hallway with Hige and Blue behind them. "Youji-kun! Ken-kun!" Omi shouts out loud when he sees Youji and Ken heading toward the end of the hallway with the Quatre, Heroo and Duo.
"Omitichi!" Ken shouts. Omi runs to Ken and Youji and hug the two of them as tight as the small arms capable to. Youji and Ken hug the little boy back just as tightly.
"You're all wet." Ken smiles as he rubs Omi's head.
"Sorry, I forget about that. I don't mean to get you two all wet." Omi says.
"Don't worry about it. I am just happy to see you. Here, don't catch a cold." Youji says as he puts his jacket over Omi.
"Thank you, Youji-kun." Omi says.
"Aya! I'm so worry about you! I heard you screaming…" says Ken as he goes up to Aya and gives Aya a hug too.
"Am I glad to see you alive." Youji says as he pats Aya on the shoulder.
"We're going to get Trowa and Wufei. They're at the cell at the end of the hallway." Ken says.
There are no more air in the prison. Wufei, Trowa and Kiba can't breath anymore. Suddenly, the door opens and fresh air run into the cell. The prisons can breathe again. All the oxygen is making them a little dizzy.
Someone shouts worriedly, "Wufei! Trowa! Kiba!"
The voice is so sweet, so tender and so perfect it can only belong to the perfect boy. "Quatre?" calls Trowa as he opens his eyes. The blonde Arabian runs to them.
"No! Quatre! Stop! Don't come any closer!" Wufei murmurs weakly. Quatre suddenly feels extremely sharp pain hits him telepathically. The empath screams and falls to the ground.
"Quatre-chan!" Omi runs to Quatre and holds onto the blonde boy.
"Hurt..." Quatre mutters holding onto his heart. Wufei climbs up and says, "Kiba is in deep pain. Don't let Quatre be too close to Kiba, Quatre will not be able to handle the Kiba's pain if he feels it."
Omi nods and takes Omi out of the cell. The closer Quatre is to someone, the better Quatre's heart sense that person's emotions and feelings. And now Quatre is too close to Kiba. Aya gets into the cell and picks up Kiba. Youji gets Trowa and Ken gets Wufei.
"Kiba! You have to talk to me! Where is Toboe?" Aya asks.
"Toboe…" Kiba murmurs.
"Kiba! Where is the boy?" Aya shouts.
"Toboe…" Kiba says as he closes his eyes.
"Kiba!" Aya shouts.
"Toboe!" Someone shouts from far away. Then comes a loud gunshot.
"That was Tsume shouting!" Blue exclaims.
"Let's go!" Aya shouts to Youji and Ken. The three guys run out of the cell with all the prisoners still in their arms. The rest of the kids running after guys.
In the lab, Toboe finishes working on the monkey and puts the laser cutter down. The computer that attach to the sick monkey says, "subject's condition stabilized. Cells regeneration began."
"Good job, my dear Toboe. You saved the monkey. I know you can do it. All you need is a little incentive. You really want to save Kiba, do you? Too bad Kiba is dead already." Li says.
Toboe looks at Li with horror in his eyes. Li laughs and takes out his gun. "Don't worry, Boy. You will be joining Kiba soon. I'm sending you to him right now. Since I have the data on what you did I don't need you anymore, so you can die…" Li says as he points his gun to the small boy.
Toboe just stand there. Li says, "such a brave little boy. You are not even afraid of dying? Or you just don't care? I bet you just want to go and join your daddy and mommy, right? Even Kiba is waiting for you."
Li laughs and shoots Toboe when Tsume runs in and shouts, "Toboe!" Tsume jumps over the table and kicks the gun out of the robot's hand. The gun fires, the bullet scratches Toboe's face and misses Toboe's head.
"Tsume, I have to say I underestimate you. I thought you will be dead already." Li says to the silver hair man.
"I will not die until I kill you." Tsume says.
Tsume tries to attack Li when huge blasts explodes every where in the building. Tsume loses his footing and falls to the ground. The computer says, "self-destructive sequent started."
"I don't have time to waste on you, Tsume. There is something important I need to do. See you at your next lifetime." Li says as a hidden door opens up at the wall. The robot enters the hidden door and the door starts closing.
"You can't run away from me!" Tsume shouts. He is trying to run after Li when he sees the giant light over the surgery table falling onto Toboe.
"Toboe!" Tsume shouts as he jumps over and land on top of the petite boy. Toboe and Tsume fall together on the ground with Tsume on top. The light lands on Tsume's back, making Tsume yelps in pain. Li laughs at Tsume as the hidden door closes.
Outside in the hallway, Aya is running to Tsume when suddenly everything start shaking. All the normal lighting is off and red lights flash the hallway. "Self destruct program started..." The computer says.
The whole place starts falling apart. The hallway behind them collapses and blocks the exit. Aya mutters, "Just great. come on! we need to hurry!"
Back in the lab, Tsume gets up and asks Toboe, "are you alright, boy?"
Toboe nods. Tsume picks the tiny boy up and put the boy over his shoulder. The silver hair man runs up to the hidden door but he can't find any way to open it. Aya and the others run into the medical lab and shouts, 'Tsume!"
"I got Toboe!" Tsume shouts.
"The exit is blocked! There is no way out." Aya shouts.
"That damn robot has a secret door right here, but I can't find anything that can open it..." Tsume shouts.
"We're all gonna die!" Hige says. Fire and smokes are closing in on the group. Over 300 floors of buildings are gonna land on their heads any second now. Suddenly, the hidden door opens. The monkey that Toboe just saved is holding onto a button.
"Move! Move! Move!!!" Aya screams as he pushes everyone into the tunnel behind the secret door. Aya run through the door right before the whole lab collapses. They follow the passage and get out into a open land. An helicopter is leaving. Li is on the helicopter.
"Damn! Don't you ever die?!" Li shouts as he sees Tsume running out of the tunnel.
"I'm still onto you!!! You just wait!!! I will find you and turn you into scrap metals!!! Your head is going to be on my partner's tombstone!!!!!" Tsume shouts as the helicopter leaves.
Toboe starts kicking on Tsume's shoulder. Tsume puts him down and he runs toward Aya. Tsume follows Toboe and runs to Aya too. Aya puts Kiba on the floor and Toboe checks the wound. There are no more bleeding to stop. Kiba already lost most of the blood and he is unconscious.
"Kiba! Don't you dare die on me! You have any idea how many bones in my body I break trying to save you???" Tsume shouts to Kiba.
Aya says, "come on, Kiba! Wake up, damn it! I almost drown trying to save you! You own me to live!"
"Yeah! me too! I saw the light at the end of the tunnel! You can't die after what we all did to get you!!!" Hige shouts.
"Come on! Kiba! don't give up now! I promise your dad we'll bring you back!" Youji says.
"Kiba, please! Toboe-chan just got better! You can't leave him now!" Omi shouts.
"Kiba! Wake up! You still have to plant all the Autumn Blooms in the lab…" Ken shouts.
Everyone is shouting frantically. Then Toboe hears something and stops shouting.
"Ki...ba...Kiba..." a small, weak and broken voice calls.
The others soon hear the voice and stops shouting. No one can believe what he is hearing. It can't be...They haven't heard that voice for so long, but they all remember whose voice it is. It's Toboe. Toboe is calling Kiba.
"Kiba..." Toboe calls to Kiba as everyone watches in silence.
"Kiba, plase don't die...I love you." Toboe cries on Kiba's chest.
Kiba is very tired. All he wants is to sleep, to close his eyes and drift off. There are a lot of noises...Kiba hears a lot of people calling him; but he just can't opens his eyes. He is too tired to do so. he just want to rest. Suddenly, everything turns quiet and he can only one small voice. A voice so soft and weak that Kiba can't quite make out what the voice is saying.
Kiba then hears sobbing. "Who can that be? who is crying?" Kiba thinks.
"Kiba...please don't die...I love you." the voice says. This time, Kiba can hear it loud and clear. Someone says 'I love you' to Kiba.
"It's Toboe! Toboe is talking! Toboe is calling me!" Kiba thinks.
Everyone watches sadly as Toboe cries desperately on Kiba's lifeless body. They all think Kiba isn't going to make it. Omi and Quatre walk up to Toboe and try to get the crying boy away from Kiba.
"Toboe-chan?" Omi calls. Toboe is crying to bad to hear Omi. Omi tries to call Toboe when Quatre stops him.
"Omi-chan..." Quatre says as he nods to Kiba's hand. Omi looks at Kiba hand and sees it's moving. Kiba's hand moves slowly.
Toboe feels a hand behind his head and stops crying. The small boy looks up and sees Kiba's hand on his head. Kiba's slowly puts his arm around Toboe's tiny body and says, "I love you too, Toboe..."
"Kiba, just hand in there. Everything is going to be fine now. We called the ambulance, it's coming. You are going to make it." Toboe says as he cries again. This time it's the tears of happiness.
Kiba smiles, "Toboe, please don't stop talking. I want to hear your voice. You have a very beautiful voice."
Omi smiles happily while Quatre starts crying. Trowa walks up and holds Quatre in his arms. Ken smiles and leans into Youji's shoulder; Youji holds Ken in his arms kisses Ken on the forehead. Heroo puts his arms around Duo lovingly while Blue leans to Hige. Wufei crosses his arms and smiles.
"Thinking about your wife?" Aya asks Wufei.
"Why are you talking to me? Omi is over there. Go over there already." Wufei says.
Aya eyes the Chinese boy and asks, "And Why should I go over there?"
"Becuase you love him; that's why! and because Omi is in love with you, too. He just doesn't know it. Omi can be a little slow when it comes to things like this...he spent too much time working and talking to his computer it kind of get to his head. He doesn't even notice his Prince Charming is standing right next to him. Trust me, he really likes you. Just go over there and show him what's between the two of you." Wufei says to Aya.
Aya doesn't move. He just stands there. Wufei says, "you're going to regret it for the rest of your life if you let Omi, Aya. Just go and tell him you love him."
The ambulance comes and to take Kiba and Toboe to the hospital. Tsume, Hige and Blue get on to make sure no one kidnap the two of them again. Omi runs up to Aya and gives him a big hug. "Aya-kun. Thanks for everything! We wouldn't be able to do it if it weren't for you. Sorry I got you into trouble."
It feels so nice to have Omi in his arms. Aya recalls when Omi gives him CPR earlier. Omi's lips are so small, and so soft. Omi's hand feels so soft and so smooth on Aya's chest. it feels so good. Aya wishes he can wraps his arms tight around Omi, picks Omi up and kiss Omi's sweet and soft lips. But how can Aya says 'I love you' to someone he is stealing things from?
Aya had been harsh and cold to Omi since day one, but Omi never stops smiling to him. No matter how rudes Aya is to Omi, Omi still treat Aya as his best friend. Omi always tries to help Aya. The boy really care about him. Omi is holding him so tight and so protectively when they get out of the water. No one ever do anything like that to Aya. Not even Aya's father or mother.
Not only Omi, but Ken and Youji too. They're so worried when they thought Aya was in trouble earlier at the laser hallway. Ken even run up and hug Aya when he sees that Aya is okay. Everyone is so nice and so kind, Aya can't stand the guilt of cheating them anymore. "Omi, listen, I have something I need to talk to you about." Aya says.
"What's the matter? What's wrong?" Omi asks Aya.
"I can't work for you anymore. Something urgent comes up. I wanted to tell you earlier but with so many things happening I don't have a chance to tell you. But I have something else I need to do.." Aya says.
Omi lowers his head. the small boy looks so sad it makes Aya feel guilty. Omi then smiles and says, "you're going to call me and keep in touch, right?"
"I can't promise that." Aya says. Omi look so depressed. Aya hates himself for hurting such a sweet and kind boy.
"Aya-kun. Promise me...if you're in trouble, you will come talk to me, okay?" Omi says
"Okay." Aya answers.
"And don't lie to me." Omi says.
"Go, your friends need you in the hosptial." Aya says.
"Don't just disappear. Call me." Omi says before getting onto one of the cars and head to the hospital.
Aya looks up to the sky and sighs, "Omi..."
