Betrayal

The tired eyes of Ruwalk stared blankly at the wall. Dark rivets of blood ran down his face from various cuts and a dark bruise had forced its way over his left cheek. Nearly blank eyes blinked in the dim light and his voice breathed out in harsh intervals.

Red eyes opened at the slight noise he made and the young Hikaru sighed from her position on the floor. Arms on knees, she lifted her head to stare over the room. Dark and dank appeared in her eyes, and she silently wished for someone to come save her.

Ruwalk coughed up a small portion of blood then closed his eyes as pain racked through his body. The petite redhead sighed then stood on shaky legs. Her clothes had been changed to a thin, white dress with red and black on the edges of her hands and the hem. Small, short black boots made barely any noise as she approached the tired officer and lifted his head to look at her.

"I don't care who you are, and I'm sorry I deceived you. Please, help me. I can give you medicine, but I can't get away without help!" She whispered, and her shaking hands could barely hold the man's face.

Blank eyes widened and then a small smile graced Ruwalk's features as he contemplated her desires.

He slowly closed his eyes and Hikaru's hands fell away from his face when her tired legs gave, pulling her to the floor in front of him. His head fell harshly and he couldn't find the energy to lift it from his chest. His breathing worsened as Hikaru looked listlessly at the floor she sat on.

Minutes passed and Hikaru pushed herself up when the door opened and a yokai walked in, intent of getting more information out of the nearly dead officer.

She stared at the bat like creature which had small spiked gloves on. She also saw its narrow, pointed teeth which were barred at Ruwalk with contempt.

The redhead slowly stepped forward and stood before the taller creature.

Red eyes slowly focused on the small weapons.

"I'll do it. It's time I found out how to help Lord Nadil, isn't it?" She asked, and the yokai froze in his place. After a moment he pulled the gloves off and threw them at the girl's feet.

"I shall inform King Nadil in time, just don't let the execution be too early. He want so savor it."

"I know Farmir." She said and waited until the yokai left the cells entirely.

She slowly bent down and retrieved the spiked gloves, kept them in hand, and then turned to walk back to stand in front of the Dragon Officer.

A tendril of fire appeared in her hand and came dangerously close to Ruwalk's face. He forced his head up to avoid being scorched.

"So the spikes are unnecessary I take it?" He asked, his eyes trained on not the fire but on hers.

Her hand stayed in place and her red eyes stared into his for a moment.

Ruwalk stared at her the spoke, "So that treatment, where is it?"

"Here." She whispered, "You just have to eat it." Her hand came closer to his face and he started sweating.

This is not happening he though, feeling trapped and once again, betrayed.

I'm getting the hang of fanfics again. It took a while to get back into it. Updates might actaully be better than sparodic.

C'mon, aren't there anymore DK fans around!
