Your Kind….
Chapter 23: Back from the grave
By: Jen "The Stampede" Motou
"I'll…tell…" I looked behind the Blonde, to see Kira; I wanted to see the look in his eyes. I wanted to see if they- those violet orbs- would beg me for life or death. However, I tried to keep a straight face at what I saw. I saw the white haired youth holding him, whispering something in Kira's ear, and Kira smiling. I then saw the boy release Kira, and then pick him up in a much gentler grasp. –Behind the back, and under the knees.- It was at this time when Kira weakly winked at me. He then mouthed the words 'I'm coming home.' I unconsciously smiled as I watched the boys run out of the room little to the blonde's knowledge.
I waited a while, knowing I was making a long pause, trying to give the boy's distance before I spat a rather cocky 'Hell no' in the enemy's face. After pausing, and getting a "Well…what is it?" I looked into the mask covering his eyes, and said. "How do I know you won't kill him anyways?" He grinned. "Of course I should have expected that." In the background, I heard Mirallia give a quiet command to Commander La Flaga to launch. Mean while I had been sending commands by text throughout the ship. Things like "Prepare the infirmary." Or "Prepare to engage the enemy."
"Why is it that you naturals must be so skeptical? We kept him alive for this long didn't we? What's your answer?" I grinned and gave my opponent a deep glare. "No!" I spat back, and he looked confused yet smug as the same time. "So you're willing to throw away the life of a child? And you naturals call us Barbaric. But fine have it your way." He pulled out a gun, and cocked it then turned expecting to see Kira, and the boy I suppose, only to find that they had disappeared. A low growl admitted from his throat, and he snarled back at me. "I suppose you win this round." He then turned back to his crew and shouted "FIND THEM!" Before the link went dead.
I looked back to my own crew, and we all let out one united cheer. The ship had sprung to life, after seeing that boy. After seeing Kira Alive it was as if the Arch-Angel had been brought back from the grave as well. "KIRA'S ALIVE!" Tolle let out, and tried to find things to get rid of his burst of energy from all the excitement. I could hear Mirallia crying behind me, and Sai consoling her, while not knowing what to do with himself. I think we all were overjoyed. However I felt so relieved as he mouthed those words to me.
"I'm coming home."
