Lost and Found
Lily started after Kai and took the lead. She paused when they came to a corner.
"Which way do we go?"
"I don't know."
Lily sighed. She didn't have time for looking for people. The brown haired teen took a snow driven white blade out of pocket and tapped the bit chip twice. There was a bright flash of light, blinding both teens in the hallway. Lily looked the other way and shielded her eyes with her hand, and Kai merely placed a hand on his forehead and tilted it down, shading his eyes.
Once the light faded, there was a brilliantly white horse standing in the middle of the hallway. There was something strange about it though, it had crystal blue eyes, angelic wings and a unicorn's horn.
"What is it young one?"
Lily smirked at the name her bit had given her. "My guests got themselves lost. Could you look for Drigger, Sharkrash, Draciel, and Dragoon?"
"Of course."
The white horse closed her eyes and started her search. Lily crossed her arms and leaned against a wall. Kai did about the same thing, but he did something else, closed eyes. When the horse opened her eyes she spotted her master and Kai. She didn't fail to notice the similar positions of the two and smirked.
"Draciel and Sharkrash are the nearest to us is nearby. Dragoon is farther. And Drigger is the farthest of them all."
"Lead us to Draciel and Sharkrash, please."
"Very well, follow me."
The horse left down the left corridor, hooves making and errie clacking sound against the polished marble flooring in the empty hallway.
About ten minutes later they came about their tenth turn. Dalila turned to the two following her.
"If you take the left corridor, you will come to Max and Mariam."
With that the white horse disappeared in a flash of light. Wordlessly, Kai and Lily started down the left hand corridor.
!-!- Max and Mariam-!-!-
Mariam was pacing back and forth across the hallway, Max, who was bored, had decided to copy what she was doing, only moving in the opposite direction. Mariam's ankle twisted and slipped. She would have fallen into the floor and done a painful face plant, but didn't because Max caught her.
Mariam lifted her head a little and starred directly into Max's eyes. She tried to look away, but found that for some reason she couldn't. Vaguely, she wondered why Max's face was getting larger in her range of vision; likewise, Max wondered the same thing.
Lily slipped on the floor and didn't get caught like Mariam. There was a loud thud as she did a painful face plant.
"Lily, you're a moron."
"Nyeh?" Lily lifted her head and then looked the way Kai nodded his head. She stared at the scene ahead of her. Mariam was in Max's arms and for all the world it looked like they were going to kiss. Both of them opened their eyes and spotted Lily and Kai. They jumped away from each other, furious blush decorating their faces.
"Oh, um...Hi guys." Max sounded just a mite more than a bit awkward.
Lily and Kai used their self-control and didn't laugh at their abashed expressions. Lily shoved herself off the floor and spoke first.
"Heya, we came to get you two unlost."
"I don't see the others, where are they?"
"Oh, I have a good feeling they're lost too. Come on."
"Okay."
At that moment there was a bright flash of light and Dalila appeared again. She turned down the way Lily and Kai had come, and waved a wing before leaving, the others in tow.
!-!-Tyson and Hillary-!-!-
Tyson stared down at Hillary. She had fallen asleep about 15 minutes ago. She looked so cold lying there on the floor. He yawned and walked over to the brunette, sitting next to her. He shifted Hillary's position so her waist to her head was in his lap, he then rested an arm around her waist, feeling like a fool. He hoped she'd wake up before anyone see him.
'Tyson.'
'Dragoon?'
'Tyson, wake Hillary up, some others are approaching.'
Tyson's eyes widened as Dragoon's presence faded from his mind. He shifted Hillary to the floor again and stood up. He crouched down and shook Hillary's shoulder. The brunette startled awake and sat up before Tyson could move out of the way. Her lips brushed against his, both of them froze instantly, eyes widened in shock. Within seconds it was broken, Tyson backing away about five feet. Hillary sunk her head into her hands.
"That did not just happen."
"Works for me."
At that moment Lily, Kai, Max and Mariam came around the corner.
"Hey you two."
Hillary and Tyson stared up at them.
"Hey, looks like our rescuers came."
Everyone smirked, yes Kai did too, "Come on, we need to find Rei and Salima still."
Tyson and Hillary stood up and followed Dalila as she left.
!-!-Rei and Salima-!-!-
Rei and Salima reached a door on their nearly 100th set of stairs.
"Well, maybe they're in here."
"I hope. Other wise we should go back to where Kenny is and wait for them."
"Right."
The door was opened by Rei. Both of them stepped out of building and onto the roof. There was a narrow area between door and the slanted roof. Salima, unfortunately, took too big a step and her foot landed in mid air. She started to tilt forward dangerously, towards her most likely death.
"Ahh!"
She flung her arms behind her, desperately trying to find something to save her. She managed to catch a piece of cloth, Rei's shirt. Rei's eyes widened as he tried to catch the stair rail, but it was too late. They went sliding down the steep roof. Rei caught Salima's arms and brought her closer to him, before flipping to face the other direction, so he would take the hardest blows instead of her.
Rei felt searing pain on his arm as the friction created from his fast descent tore away skin. Suddenly they stopped and Rei felt sharp pain running a line down his back. He opened his eye in a bare wince and noticed that the gutter had saved them from imminent doom, but it was cracking threateningly under their combined weight.
Lily reached the door where they had left first, Dalila had gone back into her blade. She stopped on the narrow flat strip between fall and safety. Kai stopped immediately behind her.
"What?"
Lily paid no heed to Kai and turned and grabbed a length piece of round up rope on the wall. As she moved from blocking his vision Kai saw what was wrong. He also spotted Rei and Salima down at the edge of the roof. Rei had his eyes closed in pain and Salima was staring up at them hopelessly. At that moment Lily blocked his vision again and tossed the rope down to them.
"Salima! Grab onto the rope!"
Kai saw Lily tilt forwards but grabbed onto her before she fell as well, clasping his hands around her waist.
Lily made a hard swallowing sound and kept a blush from gathering on her cheeks. "Walk down the stairs..."
Kai glanced backwards and started to back slowly down the stairs.
Rei winced as he was slowly dragged up, the pain in his arm only worsened. He heard the piece of gutter they had been resting on earlier give way and clatter to the ground seconds after being pulled away from it. When he and Salima reached the top he immediately let go of the red head and groaned in pain. Salima turned to face him, she quickly spotted his bloody arm.
"Rei, you're hurt."
"Its nothing." He tried to sit up and lean on his bad arm. One of his eyes closed upon putting weight on it.
"Oh, this is my fault, Rei."
"Honestly, its nothing."
"Yeah right its nothing, Rei." Rei stared up into the eyes of his captain. "Your arm is bleeding, I'm not sure if that's considered nothing."
"It's just a flesh wound."
Lily, Kai, and Salima stared at him flatly. Lily spoke first. "Stop quoting Monty Python and come on. That needs to be cleaned and bandaged."
Rei sighed in defeat, he got up and started down the stairs after Lily and Kai.
"Where are the others?"
"Oh, we left them in the beyblade place we were supposed to be at nearly an hour ago."
