Chapter 8.
Lost and Lonely
Shadow's V.P.
---------------
I looked around the dark streets, they looked so empty. Just like my heart felt. I wanted... what I wanted... was to be held by him again.I wanted to look deep in his grey eyes again. I secretely longed for the kiss that he never gave me. God! I wanted him so much! But, that was exactly why I had to leave him. Because I loved him so much I had to leave. Staying any longer would've placed him in an ever bigger danger than that in which he already was.
Because my heart beated so much faster when he was around, because I'd melt if he ever came to hold me in his arms, because I could get lost in his eyes, because when he'd call me by my name, my name would sound different, special. 'Cause I longed so much for that kiss, for those words, for his love... Those are all the reasons for which I had to leave him. All the reasons for which my heart was broken. More than once, I wished I could turn back, run right into his arms and tell him how much I loved him. How much I wanted to stay with him... how much I wanted one of his kisses. But I wouldn't. 'I wont!' I thought to myself. 'I most defently, will not! I could not face him now... what if he doesn't feel the same way that I do? No, I am defently not turning back, not any more.'
I walked down to the adress that I had gotten from a phone book. "Hm... Hakitsu... where are you?... hm..." I silently murmured to myself as I looked at the numbers ond the houses. I nocked at the door number 381. A pretty girl with brown, ragged eyes and a long very curly hair opened the door.
"Hello, how may I-" when the girl turned to look at me, she droped the book she had in her hands. She tightly hugged me. "Luna... I thought you were dead! Oh my god! Where is Felix and my brother and Yui? Are they ok? Has my brother caused too much trouble? ...Well?"
.: Normal V.P. :.
Shadow paled notabely. "What's wrong Luna?" she asked worryingly. "I-uh... I'm sorry, but I don't remember who you are, I just know that you are the sister of my ex-companion, Granite..." Shadow said softly. "Wha- Hey, you lost your memory or what?" Hakitsu asked stranged. I nodded. "Well, there's nothing we can do about it... so, if you are alive, that means the rest of the team are too, right?" Shadow stayed silent. "Right?" she repeated herself. " I don't know... I stay with the hope, but I think they are dead... I don't even remember how I got away... I only remember some times with my family... some in Olhein with my friends... and, after that, ther is nothing only screams..." Shadow confessed.
Hakitsu paled "So, where have you been all this time?" she asked. "With the bladebreakers." Shadow answered. Hakitsu looked shocked. "With Hiwatari?" she asked. Shadow nodded. "Don't ever say that out loud!" she hissed. "Why not?" Shadow asked as Hakitsu pulled her inside her apartment room and closing the door. "They are always listening" Hakitsu said silencing Shadow with a hand. "You mean... Oh god... Did they hear me right now?" Shadow asked in a murmur.
Hakitsu paled "I don't think so" she said, but she nodded with her head as she pointed beneath the door, there was a shadow of someone standing right outside. "Oh, I am so relieved, because if they knew that..." Shadow said as she pointed at the door, and made the movements for opening it, showing what she wanted Hakitsu to do. Hakitsu nodded. "So, now that you are alone, what do you think you'll do?" Hakitsu asked cassualy as she softly grabbed the door's handle. "Well, I really don't know" Shadow answered as she rose three fingers and backed a little. She lowered one, then another one... and when she lowered the third one, Hakitsu opened the door quickly and Shadow threw herself to the person who was standing outside, spying on them.
Hakitsu took in a sharp breath, as she had a clear view of the person Shadow was pinning down. Instantly, Shadow grabbed the arms of the person and placed them in a position in which he couldn't have moved them and with her body, she pinned the person to the floor. She rose her head to see who she was holding and let out a sharp ghasp. They all stood frozen, until Hakitsu's trembling voice broke the silence "B-brother?" she asked nervously, trying the word, as if she was afraid that calling him like that would make him vanish. Granite looked up at Hakitsu stranged "I have no sister, I only work for Biovolt" he said in a mechanical and cold voice, and with a last struggle he got free from Shadow and ran down the hallway, disappearing in the stairs. Both girls stood frozen looking at where Granite had disappeared. "Was that...?" Shadow asked looking at Hakitsu. Hakitsu quickly cleaned her eyes "It was his body, but it wasn't him speaking..." she softly and saddly said. "Allright!" Shadow said jumping up with a big smile in her lips. Hakitsu looked at her questioningly. "What was that for?" she asked slightly annoyed. Shadow turned around to her with shining eyes "If he is alive, then Felix is too! And, I think you know your brother well enough as I know mine, to know that they will fight with all of their hearts and souls to get rid of any kind of control Biovolt or Olhein has over them, they only need a little help!" Shadow said hope building up in her. Hakitsu smiled. "You know Luna, you could have lost your memory, but you are still the good ol' Luna I knew, so... What do you have in that little evil head of yours now?" Hakitsu asked. Shadow smirked and took some hair off her face. "You'll see, Haki, you'll see..." Shadow said as she entered the appartment. "Get ready, Biovolt, Olhein. Luna... I mean Shadow and I are getting ready to kick butt, mostly yours!" Hakitsu said with a big grin, but before entering her appartment, she turned to the hallway and her face slightly lost her happiness "And, brother... Don't worry, you'll be back before you miss my cooking too much" she said with a sad smile and entered the apartment.

Ayla: Well, how did you like it?
Shadow: be sencere, wouldn't you prefere for me to kill them all? -evil grin-
Ayla: O.O Shadow, behave yourself... -.-
Shadow: I can't help myself, I am a traumatized child XD
Ayla: riiiight... well, whatever...
Shadow: are you calling me a weirdo!
Ayla: I did not! You are doing that yourself -snigger snigger-
Shadow: Kill! -runs after Ayla with a lead pipe-
Ayla: -panting as she runs- aren't there rules against lead pipes used in nekkos? barely misses a shot $#! Shadow needs her anger managment classes!
Shadow: I DO NOT! -runs even faster-
Ayla: Yikes! Gotta run! if not killed! Susy, Preview! And don't over do it! -runs away-
Shadow: Come back here! -right behind Ayla-
Susy: This is getting cliched... Ne way... here is the preview! I hope you enjoy! And please review!
I looked at the room's corner. It was so silent... so cold... so dark. I wanted to get out, as fast as I could. Where was I?... Who was I?... How did I get here?... God, I was confused! There was someone that needed me, right? I had someone to protect, someone... The image of a purple ferret popped into my mind. I heard steps outside as I snapped back into concentration. "They must be somewhere around here... right?" a female voice asked. "Yes, they should... Look at the cells, they must have the names of the prisioners they hold." a second female voice suggested. This last voice sounded very familiar. "Shadow, I think I found him..." the first voice said right outside my room. Something inside me told me to stop them. I felt the urge to yell to them not to open the door, that something bad could happen. That I could do something to them. I wanted to tell them that I was all right, that they should get Yui, which was the only one who hadn't been controlled. Suddenly, my memories came flodding right into my head...'Shadow! Hakitsu! Don't open that door! I can't controll myself! Get Yui and escape!' I wanted to yell but I couldn't, my lips were sealed with a force supirior to mine. Finally, the door opened, and I placed my hand over my eyes to protect myself from the flash of light, when my eyes got accostumed to the light, my heart went to my stomach when I saw who was kneeled with her hand covering her mouth and tears of happiness falling from her eyes. "Felix!"
Susy: evil! Yes! I am the evil ferret! laughing evily
Midnight: Oh, she's drunk again! -slaps her forhead-
Susy: mejejejeje! FERRETS WILL CONTROL THE WORLD!
Midnight: I'd better close this chapter before anything else happens! -dodges a giant flying feret toy- O.O and that would be... now!
-Chapter closed-
