H x H Chapter 7: Inseparable part.1
Both twins were flying in the air, Ruby on the left and Rui on the right. Rui kept poking her sister, trying to gain her attention, though to no avail.. Ruby kept ignoring her.
"Nee-san...? …." Rui paused a few seconds before repeating. Ruby's face was straight with a serious expression, ignoring Rui, "Neee-saaaan~...?" She asked again, still no sign of change in Ruby's behavior. "ONEE-SAAAAAN!" She angrily puffed her cheeks, out while tainted with a red flush from anger. She zipped right in front of Ruby who appeared to ignore her still yet, with a frustrated face and narrowed hawk eyes... though more of a clear view, tears were seen falling down her eyes.
"Nani?!" Ruby angrily replied after she stopped in her flight, the moment Rui had zoomed in front of her.
Rui's serious face turned soft and sad, muttering a couple of words. "Gomen...Ruby-chan~..." She softly said, while her head gradually tilted down in grief.
Ruby's face began showing more sorrow, allowing her tears to fall even heavier. "B-BAKA! Do you realize what you have done?! The facility Agents are probably on our tails now, thanks to you! And I didn't want you to tell anyone about our past, any risks of us getting caught!" She closed her eyes as her body shook from building rage, fear and sorrow; Which made her fists tighten and slightly turn a reddish color.
"We can't stay on the run forever..." Rui was about to cry in front of her sister, until she felt her twin pull her into a protective, tight hug. "You're the only family I got...We're all we have...This freedom, this bond...our life outside of that horrid nightmare! It's what we longed for...I don't want to be separated from you! I don't want to see you get hurt again, nor put through the torture they had you in!" Ruby cried on her twin's shoulder, her arms wrapped around Rui's neck, while still flying in the air.
"G-gomensai...But, you have to trust at least someone in your life..." Ruby slowly shifted away from her, with a wet red face full of tears.
"Please...If you truly are protective over me...Then try to find someone to take care of SGSF for us...or at least, help us take them down..." Rui stated with confidence and a straight, serious face.
Ruby falling into deep thought with her eyes lowering further toward the city below, though unexpectedly, a purple nen net snatched Rui from under her; Wrapping all around her body only leaving her head out, then was jerked down during that instant followed by a scream of surprise from Rui.
RUI!" Ruby yelled out and dived after her, her wings pushed back like a bird would when diving to get closer to the ground. One of her hands reached out, to try and grab her somehow.
"Ruby-chaaaaaaaaaan! Heeeeeelp!" Rui screamed out in fear of being captured, by the unknown attacker. The twins being high in the sky took a while to reach the ground but, once they did Rui was tugged away from Ruby's hand, which were mere inches from her.
Rui got caught by a strange man that appeared similar to Ruby, though he only had one pair of wings. He looked as though he was a vulture, he had black hair, a black suit that had the abbreviations of SGSF on the chest pocket, black pants and black leather boots with a mic on his mouth. "Lady bug captured..." The vulture mutant said in his headset, he reeled Rui in closer to him and put her down to his side. Rui whined and struggled to get free from the man's purple netting, but failed. "Ruby! hee-!" Rui was cut off, when the guy wrapped a piece of cloth over her mouth to keep her silent.
Another male's voice was heard over the agent's headset. "Good...Make sure you have Ruby follow...We won't have to capture her, she'll come to us." The mysterious male said, which made the vulture agent nod in agreement. "Yes sir..." He peered up at Ruby and narrowed his eyes.
"Give her back, NOW!" Ruby devastatingly said, with rage filling her eyes and her teeth clamped into view; Unsheathing her sword and commanding Soren to stand aside, which he did.
*The man only stood there glaring at her then turned to face Rui, hearing her moan from trying to speak and move was heard. He picked her up and turned around then flew around a corner.*
Obviously Ruby followed with her sword at hand, soaring after the guy. She couldn't wait to rip that man apart... She got around the same corner and noticed the agent sitting on the back of a dark red pickup truck, signaling the driver to go. With haste Ruby launched at the guy with fury, just barely missing the agent's head when the truck went onward at full speed. The driver had infused his nen with the truck, to make it fast like a motorcycle; Ruby was barely able to keep up, even though she was inches away from the truck's tail.
She had chased them through short cuts, spaghetti high ways, normal high ways, side roads on a mountain and even on bridges.
~Elsewhere
Both Hisoka and Illumi heard Ruby scream out her sister's name, then bolted after the scream. They had been following Ruby, who chased after a vehicle; Illumi was running along side Hisoka with both their eyes locked on the vehicle, as well noticing Ruby flying at amazing speed for a bird.
"Can you see what Vehicle that is...?" Illumi asked, which was given a smirk in return.
"Judging by the size, color and speed...A pick up truck, but...considering no truck can run at that pace, someone must be infusing their nen into it... ~" He replied with interest; Illumi nodded then picked his pace up a bit more to try and catch up, with Hisoka doing the same.
~Back to the girls~
Ruby was growing tired, earlier while flying she had used her nen to enhance her speed, though unfortunately for her it seemed a waste considering she just fell to the ground and rolled countless times, roughly on the road. She grunted in pain a few times, through the rough landing. She slowly got on all fours with her wings in a mess and heavy tears falling once more, shaking.
Her eyes were closed and her teeth were in view, with her hair dangling passed her face. Hard sobbing came from her, then cries from her heart echoed through out the side mountain road. Feathers was scattered in a long stream further down the road, from her wings. Blood entwined in her hair, feathers in her wings and some scrapes on her body. "RUUUIIIIIII!" She cried out with her strong, strict voice and orbs still shut, soaking herself in tears. "No...Rui!" She buried her face In her four arms, that are still in the all fours position. She bashed the side of her hand repetitively on the pavement until it bled; Anger, sadness, fear..All emotions engulfing her, like a thick body of water.
Ruby opened her watery, infuriated eyes then turned her head to the side, after hearing foot steps. She had noticed Hisoka's shoes, which were followed by Illumi's feet behind him. She buried her face in her arms once more, sucking in her pride with hesitation.
Hisoka gleamed down at her with a frown, hearing her cry out her sister's name in mourn; Noticing Illumi walking up to his side, as well peering down at Ruby.
Hisoka was waiting for it, waiting..for her to tell him the one plea, that he had longed for...
"Please..." Ruby was shaking from the emotions that pulled at her nerves; She preferred to suck in her pride and beg for them to save her sister, than let her sister get taken away from her. She couldn't save her twin, knowing her nen had exhausted her and that fall had wounded her wings, preventing her from flying. A word whispered in her mind, as if it was clear as day in her ears. 'Helpless...' She despised that word...
"Please...Save my sister...Save her...She's all I have left..." She begged with waver in her deep voice; Though hesitated in the last sentence but, managed to push it out. With that she felt arms pick her up bridal style, her bloodied wings dangled under her and eyes widening in surprise at seeing Hisoka's face, who smirked down at her with reassuring eyes.
"Of course my dear...Arch-Angel...~" Hisoka Replied with a strict tone, though his gaze looked more concerned and soft. He wanted to fight her, he wanted to spar with her and show her how strong he was...He wanted to show off, but why fight to impress when he could be her hero? Her savior...
Ruby couldn't take it anymore, she pressed her face in Hisoka's chest and cried hard. Hisoka's expression became serious, he wanted to tear those people apart for hurting Ruby like this; To Hisoka's side, Illumi ran after the truck's direction swiftly, it was as if he knew where it was heading.
Hisoka began running with Ruby in his arms, but to his surprise she was a light weight; He had expected her to weigh at least 125 Ibs, but no, his guesstimate was around 90-100 Ibs. "I guess birds really are naturally light~" He said to himself in his head, while pacing not too far behind Illumi.
~Ten minutes later~
Hisoka holding Ruby with Illumi standing beside him, all three of them stood in front of SGSF...The one place Rui and Ruby thought of as a hell hole.
"Are you ready, Dear birdie?" Hisoka asked with a slight teasing grin on his face, while looking down at her in his arms. Seeing her nod slowly with grief embedded in her ogles, he and Illumi walked toward the doors; With a kick from Illumi, the door had collapsed inward then they both ran, with Hisoka still holding onto Ruby. Ruby was practically immobilized since so much of her nen was used up, she didn't have enough energy to keep going; Thus is why Hisoka had picked her up and carried her, In the first place.
Illumi was following Rui's nen, he felt strange but he knew he had determination, to kick someone's ass after kidnapping her. He disposed of all his emotions long ago since he felt like they weren't important for an assassin, but it seems that a few of those bothersome emotions are returning, only for this one girl, Rui...
Illumi charged faster toward her, leaving Hisoka further behind. After a few minutes of scurrying through the halls of the facility, Hisoka sat Ruby down and grabbed her arm to make her follow behind him. He believed she gained enough energy to run now, the blood in her wings had dried up but, she would skip a step every now and then from Hisoka running too fast for her legs to keep up. They had passed up doors to secluded rooms and ran into guards that blocked their path, though with Illumi in front they didn't need to kill a lot of guards on their end.
Finally running to a door, Illumi kicked the door down and seen two agents with a scientist standing near a lab table, where Rui was laying on. She was tied up...her mouth covered and utensils on the sides, as if they were just about to start an operation on her.
Seeing this Illumi actually looked pissed, his hair flown upward and his appearance turned dark. (Much like that scene in HxH, where Hisoka mentioned him killing is little brother.) Anger surged through him like poison, he disappeared and killed the two agents with his needles and gave Ruby a motion, letting her have her share of killing.
Ruby stood there then nodded once, with a face that held rage. She unsheathed her sword, ran to the scientist and bashed the back of his neck hard with the hilt of her blade, knocking him out. She didn't care for death on her hands, if she had to choose, she'd prefer to knock someone out or scare them shitless. She turned around and uncovered her twin's mouth.
"Ruby-san!" Rui cried out, with tears running down her cheeks.
"It's alright Rui, we're here now...All thanks...to Hisoka and Illumi..." Ruby replied quietly, while facing the two behind her. She turned to face Rui, who was still strapped under bindings. Ruby took out her sword and sliced through the straps, though with Hisoka's help using his poker cards on the other side of the table.
"Thank you...Hisoka...Illumi...Thank you both..." She was nearly breaking into tears again until Rui tackled her to the ground crying like a little kid, making Ruby blink in astonishment.
"Arigato gosaimasu, Hisoka-san, Illumi-san and Ruby-san!" Rui thanked the two in Japanese then ran over to Illumi and tackled him next. Illumi laid there staring at the ceiling with his usual blank eyes, but a very VERY faint flush formed on his face. He felt funny every time she would tackle him, as so he said in his head.
Ruby got up with shocked eyes, but couldn't help herself to laugh at the scene, followed by Hisoka who did the same. Hisoka stopped his laughter then peered over at Ruby, who was still chuckling at her twin; He side stepped slowly, getting closer to Ruby by each step. Once he was beside her, he had picked her up bridal style once more, shocking her; Ruby couldn't understand why he picked her up again.
"H-..Hisoka why the hell are you carrying me again...?" Ruby stuttered in her question, glaring at him after narrowing her eyes.
"Because...You're my Angel...and you're injured on top of that~" Hisoka replied in his sing song tone, closing his eyes and forming a cocky smirk. One of Ruby's eyes were twitching from irritation, she hated how he'd call her those nicknames...She found it kinda rude, every time he'd call her those. Considering she and her twin were Japanese, they still preferred formalities; They hardly knew him and Illumi, so why would Hisoka dare to call her by a nickname...? She had wondered that for a while.
"Hisoka...?" Ruby asked, a shadow forming over her eyes and her head being tilted downward.
*Outside of SGSF the screen shook and loud comical punches were heard, along with.. "BAKA BAKA BAKA BAAAAKAAAAA!"
The scene with them in the room returned and it shown Hisoka, having baby chicks above his head, spinning around in a circle. He was laying on the ground historically with Ruby standing and having her arms folded, along with her eyes closed; She looked angry.
Rui giggled at her twin with her eyes closed, she was sitting down having her legs laying to the side a bit. Illumi stood there beside her then peered down at her from curiosity, though a question caught his attention and made him look up at Ruby.
"Ruby...was that scientist the head of the facility...?" His voice was as monotonous as it could get. The scientist couldn't possibly be the head, since they were only partially through the building. Knowing how big the building was on the outside, it had to of been just about the same size as on the inside.
"As far as I know...The boss of this facility, is at the highest floor... I...want to save everyone in here, I don't want anyone being left here in this forsaken place...Rui had asked me if we could save them long time ago, before we escaped but...I couldn't answer In time..." Ruby said in return, her eyes grew sad while having painful memories fill her thoughts.
"The boss is as good as dead... My sweet arch-angel~" Hisoka suddenly said, making a funny scene with him holding a random rose, made of his pink nen to his lips and his eyes closed, followed by a teasing smirk. He knew she disliked him calling her those nicknames, thus is why he kept it up; Twas to get on her nerves on purpose.
An angry mark popped on Ruby's head, making her closed peers, twitching at his comment and trying to keep her composure as much as possible.
"Let's go..." Illumi said then turned to walk out the door, Rui behind him and Ruby nodded in agreement, then trotted along. Hisoka knew he got under her skin by that comment, it made him smirk in amusement and follow behind her with his pink rose formed by nen, disappearing.
