Chapter 17 Tori
Kira looked up into the sky and his eyes widened. At least five birds were flying up above him, four of which looked to be gaining on the smaller bird. They were large and black, and their beaks were pecking at the smaller bird that seemed to be trying to fly towards the ground. It was small, and against the moon's faint light, looked to be green and yellow and had a bow around its neck. "Tori?" the Hukari asked as the bird began falling from the clouds.
Kira ran forward and caught the little bird before any more damage could be done to her. "Tori? Where have you been?" the brunette asked the small bird as she attempted to hop up to his shoulder. Lacus, said, don't look for her, the small voice of the bird said into his mind. Kira angered. "Why not?" he asked furiously. Tori's little red eyes looked up to her master, and she chirped sadly. She's hurt, bleeding, find her! The little voice screamed in Kira's mind. Tori had to betray Lacus, if she didn't the girl would die. "Tori, you have to take us there, now!" Kira ordered, and started running back towards the house.
Cagalli's golden eyes flashed open and she sat up quickly. Athrun had risen before her and was starting to stand. The sliding door opened quietly and Neo's face appeared in the doorway. "Cagalli! Athrun, do you two know where Shinn and Stellar are?" he asked frantically. The two Hukari shook their heads. "Neo opened the door wider. "Well we have to find them, Kira too." he added as the man and woman followed him out of the room. "Neo, what's the hurry?" Neo turned to face them and eyed the Rouge blade by Cagalli's side. "The Zu Barrels have their army surrounding the village. You have to get out of here, if they capture you, they'll take you to him." Cagalli and Athrun had confused looks on their faces. Neo led them to the smithy door. "C'mon, we have to hurry." the man stepped into the area where he made swords, and Cagalli was close behind him. Neo grabbed a large, wrapped in sailcloth bundle and shoved it into Cagalli's arms. "Take this sword, and get out of here! Find your brother, and Stellar and Shinn. Then go north of the village." Athrun wasted no time grabbing Cagalli's wrist and pulled her threw the open back door. Following, she saw Neo run out of the Smithy through the front doors, and heard many angry voices.
"Neo Loussier, hand over the Hukari and Asuka-sama immediately and we will not have to bring you into custody. "Search my home, you will find no trace of them,"
Cagalli frowned angrily and ran faster with Athrun. They stopped when they reached the cover of the trees, and Cagalli unwrapped the heavy burden. What she saw made her mouth go slightly ajar, and her eyes widened, Athrun even gapped at the blade. The sword had a large golden blade, as wide as four Rouge blades sitting side by side. And there was a black insignia on the right side of the golden blade. The hilt seemed to be made of blue silver, and had a topaz stone in the center of it. "Topaz and the black insignia in a blade of gold…" Cagalli said absent mindedly as she gently let her fingers feel the blade of the sword. She removed her fingers to watch the thin red lines of blood trickle from her finger tips. "This blade is the Akatsuki, Blade of Courage. How could Neo ever create one of these?" she wondered as a rustling in the trees caught their attention. Cagalli held the Akatsuki in both hands tightly and Athrun placed his right hand around the hilt of the Justice that hung at his left hip. Kira emerged from the trees with Tori perched on his shoulder. His eyes were cold and had the same red outline though it was thicker than other times, and his pupils couldn't be seen. "I know where Lacus is, we have to find Shinn and Stellar immediately." the man said in a cold and deep voice that didn't sound a thing like his own. I'm coming Liorlia, just hold on, he whispered in his mind with the same cold voice, where a purple lotus was growing, though it was now turning black and growing red vines.
Stellar pulled away from him and smiled lovingly at him. "Shinn, I've had feelings for ever since Harry brought me to Junius City, and I could never push them away. I still loved you when I found out about your secret, and I loved you more that you trusted me to keep it secret. I love you Shinn, and nothing and no one can change that." she said and felt his strong arms wrap around her bare shoulders, and his face buried in her neck. "Stellar, you don't know how happy that makes me," he whispered into her ear. The girl closed her magenta eyes once again and placed her fore head on his shoulder.
Rustling in the forest behind them went unnoticed by the two teens, and when two figures emerged, they weren't ready to struggle. A Red Samurai (Haven't seen them in a while, lol) appeared behind Stellar, and grabbed her. The other Red Samurai did the same with Shinn. "Hey, what the! Oh CRAP!" the black haired teen shouted as he realized they were in the hands of Red Samurai. Stellar tried pushing away from the man holding her, but failed and he struck her across the back of the head, knocking her out. Shinn widened his eyes as the man laid her across his shoulders and beckoned for the other Samurai to follow him. Shinn felt pain in the back of his head, and slipped into darkness. They Red Samurai laid the boy over his right shoulder and began following his companion. What the samurai didn't do was take the swords from the two teens. Bad mistake.
Kira and the other Hukari emerged from the trees to see Shinn and Stellar disappear with the Red Samurai into the forest. Kira gripped the Strike and growled angrily. Turning, he flung his sword behind him into a bush, and the sword struck something, or someone. Athrun and Cagalli peered over to see an archer dressed in armor with the Dragon insignia of the Zu Barrel family. "Kira, how?" Cagalli started to ask, but Kira was already over there and pulled the sword out of the chest of the archer. "We have to follow them, for Shinn and Stellar's sake, and I bet they're going to wherever Rau is holding Lacus." Kira stated coldly and Cagalli shuttered.
They were about to head out when more soldiers appeared from the darkness of the forest and surrounded them. Cagalli raised the Akatsuki while Athrun barely unsheathed the Justice, and Kira growled angrily while clutching the Strike in his hand. Rey Zu Barrel appeared in front of the crowd of soldiers, and smirked evilly. "So, three Hukari are in my grasp. This will make Rau very pleased." The blonde snickered as seven soldiers stepped forward to restrain the three Samurai. Cagalli tensed, Athrun's grip on his sword hilt tightened, and Kira's eyes moved from one soldier to the other. Rushing forward, Kira took care of four soldiers with one swipe of his sword. Cagalli cut two soldiers standing next to each other in half with her golden blade. Athrun disposed of the last two quickly and soundly by cut them across the back of the neck.
Rey looked surprised and nearly stumbled back when Kira's blank eyes, outlined in red glanced at him. Looking to his right and left, he pointed at the brunette, and shouted, "What are you doing just standing there? Kill them!" he shouted in a high voice and the soldiers advance, hoping their large number would prove them victorious. Wrong. Kira cut through groups while Cagalli began swinging fiercely with the heavy blade, though it was light as a feather in her grasp once she went into seed mode. Athrun went into seed mode just as easily and took down the enemies that stood in his way. As Cagalli cut down another soldier, her golden lily in her mind shattered and re-grew into something larger and stronger, with red vines. Athrun cut down two soldiers and saw in his mind's eye his emerald lily shatter and re-grow to be larger with longer petals and red vines. Both his and Cagalli's eyes now had no pupil and had very thin red outlines. (Go HUKARI!)
They disposed of the rest of the soldiers and Kira approached Rey with a bloody sword hanging by his side. Rey fell onto his back and tried to crawl away, but Kira brought his blade down quickly across the man's chest, killing him instantly. Kira flicked the sword to remove the blood, and sheathed it. Cagalli flicked her sword, though she took special care to rub the blood off of the black insignia. This sword was a one of a kind, and it belonged to Callgria, the Tiger Lily Hukari. It was destroyed and buried with her ashes when they were buried. How was Neo able to replicate it? Athrun flicked his sword clean and sheathed it. Kira began walking north, the direction of Rau's Fortress. "C'mon, we have to save Lacus and Shinn. Let's GO!" and began running with Cagalli and Athrun close on his trail.
Lacus opened her eyes and winced painfully. Her shoulders were bleeding slowly, and her stomach wound was open again, she never did get around to healing it. Her chest also had the slash bleeding from where Rau had slashed at her with his blade. And along her upper chest, a thin line had been cut straight through her orchid tattoo. Blood slowly trickled from the wounds, staining her torn kimono. "Where did these wounds, come from?" she asked herself weakly.
Laughter emitted from the throat of the man she hated with her soul. "Now you're awake. Once your little friends get here, we can start the experiment," he said darkly with an evil smile slowly crossing his face. Lacus starred at him angrily but winced when she barely moved her arm. The cuts weren't deep, but they were wide open and bleeding freely. She looked over and saw that she was being supported by a wooden cross, and her wrists were tied to the two extended beams of the structure. The doors to the dark room opened and two Red Samurai walked in with two struggling teens. The boy was squirming right and left and shouting profanities to them left and right, while the girl kept trying to kick her captor. "Shinn? Stellar?" Lacus asked softly.
The two samurai dropped the kids onto the floor where Shinn grumbled as he sat with his legs crossed. Stellar was sitting on her feet and they both had their hands tied behind them. The two looked towards the orchid Hukari when they heard their names, and their jaws dropped. They had only known Lacus for a day, but the remembered she looked proud and happy when they were with her. Now she looked broken, tormented, and in pain. Stellar's eyes widened when she saw something move behind the pink haired girl, but before she could say anything, Rau had stepped for ward. "Now, let the experiment begin," and laughed maniacally. Vines began to crawl forward around Lacus's body and the girl starred down in terror at what they might do. They crawled closer to her open wound, and stopped right before them. Cold sweat had started to collect on the girl's brow, and the two teens watched in horror at what happened next. The dark green plants plunged into the wounds and Lacus gave out a scream of pain. Rau continued to laugh in pleasure as his vines began to steal her blood.
They grew larger and Lacus's face became contorted in pain when the vines grew or moved in and out of her wounds. Her blood began to circulate through them, and Lacus began to grow extremely weak. What's wrong, what's happening? She asked herself. What are these things doing? I feel so weak, I can't even keep my eyes open anymore, and it hurts to breathe. I'm sorry, Kira, I'm sorry,
I've got a treat for you! The next chapter is the last chapter to Strike Samurai! WOOO! What is happening to Lacus? Will Kira get there in time to save her? Will Rau die? Will Shinn and Stellar be able to help Lacus? Maybe, hehehe. Tune in TONIGHT at 7 o'clock sharp for my next update!
