Chapter 7- The rescue & a new friend… (edited)
Yukito's POV (see the difference?)
"Help" a voice echoed…
What the? I put on my binoculars, that voice… where is it coming from?
"Help, please somebody" there it was again. I pointed my binoculars at the lake… there was a girl lying there and she looked hurt…
My heart skipped, oh god… I thought jumping down from the tree, running towards her.
"It's okay, I'm here now" I said softly when I reached her. Her ankle was twisted I think, very painful but she'll live… I reached out for her, surprisingly she pushed it away.
"Kyu" she gasped turning to face me "…He's down there" she jerked her finger at the water "Help him"
I don't know when I dived into the water, it was a blur, I didn't even remember search for the boy… then quite suddenly he was in my arms as I pulled him up on to the pier.
The girl was sitting up, waiting for us…
"Kyu?" her face paled when she saw the boy's limp body, then she started crying quietly…
I checked him, not breathing and no pulse, he was as good as dead…
"How long was he down there?" I asked her, she didn't answer "hey" I shook her
"I think about five minutes or so" helpless tears flowed down her face as she tried hard to pull a brave face.
"Listen…" I told the girl in a calm tone "we may still save him but I need your help okay"
The girl nodded numbly, "What do I have to do?"
Kyu's POV
Darkness… all around me
Am I dead? I thought, neurotically
No answer…
No, I thought concluding for myself. If someone was dead then they can't feel…I could feel something pressing at my ribs, I could taste a slightly metallic taste in my mouth... I smelt seaweed… lots of it… I even felt something warm touch my lips; the touch warmed me, my whole body… I felt it all…I was feeling drowsy and faint but I now I felt warm, safe, alive… there was this warm feel again, and something blew air to my lungs…and then it erupted, my breath was caught in my throat, I coughed suddenly, my whole body thrust forwards, I coughed and spluttered out the water… warmth burst out again, I could hear another thing, my heart beating frantically… all this activity is tiring I thought as I fell back exhausted.
"Kyu" a voice cried, relieved.
My eyes opened but it was all blurs then, but I recognized her voice… it was Yuki. There was two blurs… who is that?
"Are you alright?" the other blur that was not Yuki asked me.
I squeezed my eyes shut, then opened them again… the blurs started to resemble human beings… one was a bruised up Yuki and an older boy…
I sat up slowly "Yuki wha-" I tried to talk, but my voice was hoarse beyond recognition.
"I'm so glad" she said in an equally hoarse voice, she reached out and touched me like she wanted to make sure.
"You have a bruise" I pointed out…
A tear rolled out of her already red eyes... "Its fine" she wiped that tear "you're safe, that's all that matters" she replied in her usual confident manner.
"But-" I tried to protest but she poked me on the ribs "Ow… that hurt" I cried clutching my stomach.
"That's right; you're hurt worse then me so–"
"But you are bleeding…" I interrupted softy, touching the cut just below her right eye.
Yuki flinched like she'd been stung, and then… she blushed furiously, ducking her head.
There was a silence, a long one…
"Did you save me?" I asked her quietly, "Thank you"
"Don't thank me, thank him, I only helped…" she made me notice the other guy who was sitting there.
"Hi" he greeted me with a grin.
I blinked, "hello" I stared at him with mild fascination.
"Er…what's wrong?" he asked uncomfortably.
"Your eyes…" I started, still staring in awe… one was a bright blue and the other was forest green… "Cool…" (A: I have clearly been playing FFX for too long)
The boy laughed in good humor, "it's not what you think, it's my contacts, one of them might have fallen off while I was searching for you" he scratched his head sheepishly "I'm long sighted"
"Thank you" I told him "I could have died… you know"
"Thank her" he smiled impishly at us both… I had a feeling he was hiding something, Yuki blushed again…
"Let's go back then" the boy standing up, he turned to Yuki and held out his hand "Come on I'll carry you"
"Yuk–" I stared quizzically at her.
"It's fine, I twisted my ankle that's all" Yuki got to her feet with the help of the boy. Then he carried her piggyback style…
I walked beside them…
"So you guys close?" the boy said trying to make conversation.
"No" Yuki said through gritted teeth.
"We're classmates– er friends …" I stammered, why is my heart beating so fast?
Yuki blushed again… and for some reason I felt something warm and tingly fluttered in my stomach…
"Well, you're lucky to have a friend like her…" he said in a slightly teasing voice.
Yuki whacked him on the head like her usual normal self, I couldn't help laughing.
"Ow- hey that hurt"
"It should have" Yuki was pulling at his ears now.
There it was again, the warm feeling … it seemed to overwhelm me whenever I look at her, but why was that? I never liked her much before but I've never seen this fragile side of her… I touched my lips lightly, remembering the soft warm touch before… did she…?
"So who are you anyway?" Yuki said after a few minutes, after they stopped bickering… "I've just realized I don't even know your name"
The boy stared up to her "Oh sorry, I'm Yukito Kazawami"
A: Like? This sub chapter was hard, I'd to write it three or four times then finally settled on this one… I'm sorry if this one is disappointing; as you know I'm depressed and very bored… Yuki is my fav. character next to Ryuu so she's getting special treatment, hope you guys liked her, being emotional and all…which do you think is better Yuki/Hayato or Yuki/Kyu… and I need to know if you guys liked Yukito? Coz he's going to be in the later chapters of the story…
