Hi again. Glad to be back and updating.
This chapter might be a little short, so please forgive me. I kinda threw
this one together. The trip was exhausting, and I even wrote a little on
the trip.
O yeah, thanx for reviews!
Don't ask about the title of the chapter, I have no idea why I chose it for
this chapter, I just like the sound of it.
To Skurria: Um...who exactly are you talking to in that review? Lol
To Pocky no Miko: You're telling me! Lol
To DojomistressAmbyChan: o yeah, it does mean apricot, lol, and im sorry, yugi isn't in this one, and no, if he was, he wouldn't be on Yami's side
To brok3n: thanx! By the way, I like your name, that's cool
To assourasalemon: hey, never seen u before! Glad you like it, and I hope you like the update!
Ok, the story...
Note: Violence, blood, u know...
Chapter 12
Showed up showdown
"The bleeding should stop," Ryou was telling Malik, who had been shot in the arm. His arm was going to be fine, and Malik could stand now.
They were still in the old saloon, not knowing what to do next, to go outside and face certain death, or to just stay and wait it out.
They figured Marik was still outside, killing people, and Bakura....actually, they didn't know. They thought he was still around, he would never run away, that's for sure...or maybe he did.
"Maybe it's over..." Malik said after a while.
"Far from it..." Ryou replied.
"But the gunshots...there's not much going on anymore, I bet Marik killed them all..."
"This may be over...but something else is coming, I can feel it..."
"Don't move!"
Ryou and Malik whirled around, putting their hands on their guns, only to see a girl, that looked a couples of years younger than them, with long red hair that went to her waist. She looked like a sweet, innocent girl, except for the rifle that she had pointed at them. Actually, when Ryou looked more closely, she looked rather rugged, unlike the women he usually sees.
Seeing the rifle that she had, Ryou released his fingers from his gun. Malik did the same.
Ryou smirked to himself. This wasn't what he had pictured to come. He actually thought it was funny, a little girl with a rifle, what next?
"What are you doing here?" she demanded.
Ryou couldn't help it. He laughed softly. 'What were they doing here?' Like she didn't know! She knew exactly, unless she didn't hear any gunshots outside.
Unfortunately, she wasn't joking around.
BANG! And CRASH!
A warning shot, that hit an old jar on one of the tables.
Then she pointed the rifle back at them. "I won't ask again." She warned.
Ryou stopped laughing, and thought. "Describe 'here'" he told her.
She looked confused, and annoyed. Oh, how he loved playing with people's minds.
But she answered, to his surprise, "Look around you, what are you doing here? In this saloon!"
He now understood, and answered her. "If you haven't noticed, we were seeking shelter from the rain of bullets outside..."
"Are you against them also?"
"I don't know who 'them' is, but 'them' is trying to kill us now, so if you'll be so very kind..."
He was trying to get her to put the rifle down, but it wasn't working.
She continued, "They've been around here before, everyone's afraid of them..."
"How many are there?"
"No telling..." Silence. She still didn't point that rifle away. Ryou was starting to wonder about her.
"They killed my family..." She finally said after awhile. "My ma and pa used to own this saloon...you see how downhill it's gone since then..."
Ryou understood now. It must have been hard, living on her own, with no parents, no family, in a deserted saloon.
It must have been a dark corner, because Ryou took a step forward, more into the light, more into the light, and she suddenly became more alert and aware of who it was.
"You're the man from the poster." She said this pretty confidently, without fear in her voice.
Ryou stopped. Rollin his eyes. "Yes...I'm the man from the poster..."
"Stay where you are...!"
She had hardly gotten those words out of her mouth until...
BANG BANG BANG BANG
Countless gunshots, breaking the windows of the saloon.
Ryou hadn't even drawn his gun from his holster. Neither had Malik, and they both knew that this girl couldn't have shot ou all of her windows that quickly. Heck, they were surprised that she hadn't shot them yet.
The strangers outside...had found them. All three inside, had hit the floor, dodging bullets.
They, the strangers, were coming in. They knew where they were. They were ready to kill.
Malik and Ryou were ready to fight, their guns drawn, but then they thought, what about her?
"Hey, while we're just hanging around, what's your name?" Ryou asked.
"I wouldn't tell a murderer like you!" She replied.
"Fair enough. Just one question, you know how to use that thing?" He was referring to the rifle she held.
She glared at him. Before she could say anything, the strangers broke down the door. They were in.
She started firing away, hitting her targets well.
So, Ryou took that as a 'yes'.
Then, right away, they were all firing away at these...strangers.
(((((((((
Tea was happy.
Things were going the way they were supposed to go in life.
Although, she hoped that Joseph would understand about Ryou and his gang, seeming that they did rob him on his way home.
But, in between it all, she was sensing something, like everyone else was. She hoped it was nothing, but in her mind, knew it wasn't.
))))))))))
They were eating when Tea remembered.
"The horses, they need feeding..." she stopped eating and pushed back her chair from the table. "I'll be right back."
"Need any help?" Joseph offered.
She denied it, and left for the barn.
In the middle of feeding, she heard a noise.
A horse, she thought.
But the sound she heard next most defiantly wasn't from a horse. A deep voice behind her. She recognized it very well. "Did you miss me Tea?"
((((((((((
He could see the house from here, he was almost there, but was he too late?
TBC
Yes, I know, those 3 dreaded letters once again, lol Ok, a little confusing on that last part, its supposed to make you wonder...o, who am I kidding, you've probably already guessed who it was. But anyway, R&R! I want to know what you think!
NOTE: girl with red hair (Serenity) even though she is in this fanfic, she IS NOT joeys sister in this one. Just to let you know, and before you get confused. I would have put that note at the beginning of this chapter, but I wanted you to be surprised! Hehehe Bye for now! See ya!
