Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…I DON'T KNOW!
Disclaimer: I do not own crescent moon.
Kori stared in fear and guilt as Blackwall destroyed most of the moonshine from the inside. He shattered all of the glasses, broke all the tables, and completely smashed the piano. It was just like all the other times Blackwall had been sent to retrieve Kori. All the destruction he caused.
She wanted to cry. Things had just been going well and then this boy comes out of no where. Not that she blamed him for any of this, no, if anything she was grateful because her friends weren't down there getting smashed because of him.
In fact somewhere in the back of her mind, something was telling her that she had met this boy before. But where and when was completely unknown.
Kori glanced nervously at her friends as they watched with angry faces Blackwall destroy their little shop.
"I am so sorry guys." She whispered.
"Its not your fault Kori, don't worry he wont get away with this." Nozomu said not taking his eyes off of the menace.
"Your damn right he wont." The boy said standing up. He had a determined look on his face as he walked towards the edge of the building.
"What the hell do you think your doing kid?" Mitsuru hissed grabbing the boys shoulder. The boy glanced at the hand then shrugged it off.
"I'm going to stop this gorilla from doing any more damage that's what. Im sorry but you have to let me go." He side stepped out of the way as Mitsuru made another attempt to hold him back.
"How exactly to you propose to do that?" Misoka asked curious
The boy gave him a blank stare then a gentle smirk, "Like this."
Suddenly he pulled out a small silver boomerang but he pressed a button so it got 3 times as big and 3 times as hard.
He walked towards the edge next to Kori.
"Miss Itikashi, if I don't get back or if I run into any trouble you and your friends have to run, Okay? Run far away from here."
Onyx eyes stared into amber ones. His serious look made Kori slightly nervous but she nodded.
"Good."
He stood on the edge ,the others made a move to get him down but, "By the way, my names Takimu."
Before anyone could stop him he jumped.
Kori barely managed to muffle her cry of surprise and rushed over to the edge as well as the others.
Raising the boomerang above his head, Takimu fell down to the chaos that was befalling the moonshine at the moment.
One of the poor agents who was about to get a major head ache looked up just in time to see the brave, and slightly crazed in Mitsuru's opinion, boy come crashing down on him. Takimu swiftly knocked the agent out and ran full speed into battle with dozens of other agents.
Kori and the others watched in disbelief as the fourteen year old boy decked a couple of full grown men. When more came he climbed up part of the fire escape then jumped down again similarly to what he did before.
"Yahhhhh!" He cried out as he hit some guy in the head. The other agents eyes bugged out and they ran away screaming for their mommies.
The moonlight bandits sweat dropped and Mitsuru had a "WTF is this kid?" type of expression on.
Anyways, Takimu looked like he was in the clear and was holding his own pretty well. That is until he had backed up near the broken doorway of the moonshine and the back of his neck was grabbed by a slimy hand.
Blackwall raised the young boy in the air and looked him in the face, "So you're the little bastard that has been causing trouble for Takoro eh?" (Takoro, aka Kori's dad.)
Takimu snarled at Blackwall and thrashed around to get out of his grip. Blackwall only smirked and held him up higher.
"I didn't think you'd be so puny in person. But then again your not be the only one are you?"
He brought him to his face again so his beady little red eyes could glare into takimu's, "So where are the others shrimp?"
W-what is he talking about? Kori thought in worry. Her hands twisted together in nervousy and confusion seeing the boy who had saved her life in her nightmare's clutch.
Kori gasped in disbelief when Blackwall drew back sharply and rubbed his face with a cry of disgust. Takimu had spat onto his face and was now smirking at Blackwall's obviously disgruntled expression.
"ALRIGHT BRAT IF THAT'S THE WAY YOU WANT IT…" Blackwall raised Takimu into the air, "GO TO HELL!!!!!!" He shouted as he through Takimu straight into the opposite building's wall.
The onlookers from the roof gasped as they heard a loud SNAP.
Takimu's arm had been broken.
Doubled over in pain, Takimu clutched his useless arm and glared at Blackwall, grinding his teeth to keep from crying out.
Kori's hands shot up and covered her mouth, she wanted to help but what could she do…
She jumped when she felt Mahiru tug on her arm, "Kori, we have to get out of here, you know what he said." She whispered guilt obviously visible.
Kori heard but she pulled back towards the ledge. "B-but we cant just leave him! We cant!" She whispered back.
"I know kori, I don't want to just leave him either but Blackwall is after you remember? He'll probably keep Takimu alive since he wants information from him but we have to get out of here now!" (I know this sounds a little un Mahiruish but it'll work out.)
Mahiru continued to tug, each one getting more insistent.
Kori wouldn't budge as she watched Blackwall get closer to throw Takimu again.
I have to help! There has to be something I can do! I cant just leave him!
Suddenly Kori stood up, but she didn't try to run. Kori stared down before clenching a fist.
I have power, it might not be very much but somewhere inside of me is a powerful phoenix that can protect Takimu. Grandmother, if you can hear me, I need that power again.
Blackwall raised Takimu above his head.
While I was running away and if Blackwall caught me no one made a move to help. I was left to fight alone just as Takimu will be if I leave as he wished. But I've decided something grandmother….I refuse to be like them!
With out a second thought, Kori pulled out of Mahiru's grip and jumped over the ledge.
Akira tried to grab her but missed and she heard Mahiru cry after her in surprise and worry. "What are you doing?!"
Frankly, kori had no idea what she was doing. One second after she jumped she felt the air push up on her as she fell but then it felt like something warm had sprouted from her back. Those things in fact spread out like wildfire and she soared down towards Blackwall's sinister face.
Kori had found her wings.
Powered b her will to save Takimu, Kori rushed towards a surprised Blackwall. He leg went backwards, powering up for a blow then it pushed the air in front of it as it swung back hitting Blackwall straight in the middle of the face.
From the force of Kori's kick, Blackwall was sent flying back into the moonshine (creating yet another dent) And Takimu dropped to the ground.
Landing skillfully on his feet Takimu looked at kori with a frustrated and quite worried expression.
"Miss Itikashi it told you to run!" He shouted
Floating onto the ground beside him, Kori stared at him then at Blackwall. Her eyes widened with what she just did.
"I-I just." Her hands flew to her mouth in half amazement, half fear.
I-I just kicked Blackwall!…and sent him flying !
Crouching in front of where he landed, Blackwall was screaming in agony. With the kick to the face kori had managed to shatter his nose, and his whole face was bleeding.
He took his hands away and stared like a wild beast at Kori.
"you…" He growled in rage. (wow, I'm surprised no one has heard the commotion at this point…oh well.)
Kori went into a cold sweat, her hands shook, she wanted to run and hide from this creature.
But she did no such thing. She planted herself in front of Takimu, to everyone's astonishment and got into a defensive stance.
"Takimu kun…I-I don't know why you saved me and my friends or why I think I've met you but none the less you're a friend. I wont let Blackwall hurt you." Kori spoke clearly and confidently for almost the first time in 8 years.
Takimu wanted to reply but he could only gape. The once terrified, shy, insecure girl that he had heard about from other rebellions was standing in front of him, protecting him from her own menace.
Blackwall lumbered to his feet and stared at Kori with a crazed look. He looked like he was about to charge her but everyone gaped when his cruel smirk returned, much wider and more insane.
"So you've started talking again eh you little monster?! And I suppose you think you can fight me now too?! Well your still weak bitch! YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME!!!!"
With that he rushed forward.
The familiar heat returned to Kori's hand and within a second a raging fire ball flew and intercepted Blackwall's attack. He screamed as the fire burned his hands when he tried to catch the ball.
As quick as it had appeared the ball was gone, but kori had plenty more. This she made clear as she stood with one floating in her hand.
Staring at his hands, then at kori. Blackwall realized finally, that kori was a threat. She could beat him and even kill him if he pressed forward.
Grabbing any agents that had been knocked out and hoisting them over his shoulders, Blackwall's red eyes bore into kori insanely.
"This isn't over beast." he growled as he ran away like the coward he is.
It almost seemed like it wasn't real to Kori. As she heard the sound of Blackwall's massive boots lumbering down the street she collapsed.
After 8 years of fear of this guy and she had won. It was only one battle but she had won it none the less.
The moonlight bandits stared at the scene above. Amazed by Kori's sudden act of courage they had watched the whole thing. They could hardly believe it either.
Staring at the battle ruins before him, still holding his broken arm, Takimu slowly stood up beside kori.
"Miss Itikashi, are you all right?" He asked quietly. Kori stared at the dent she had caused in front of her and nodded her head awkwardly.
"Here." He held out a gloved hand to help her up. It was a gentle hand.
Kori blushed slightly and gripped it as he hauled her to her feet.
"Miss Itikashi…I told you to run and yet you didn't listen. You realize one false move and you could have been killed."
Afraid she had made him angry, Kori started listing off explanations.
"W-w-well, you had helped us before so I-I couldn't just leave you to die s-so I…"
Listening to her ramble made Takimu smile slightly, she's really cute in person. that thought made him blush slightly and he shook the thought away. W-what am I talking about!
He held up a hand for her to stop and he smiled, "Its alright. Pride aside I'm glad you flew down here."
Blinking for a moment, soaking what he just said in a smile wormed its way to her face and a light blush crept onto her face. Which didn't go unnoticed by Nozomu, who was climbing down with the others.
Interesting. the flirtatious vampire thought with a smirk.
Akira was the first to jump down the fire escape and attack Kori in a relived hug.
"Oh my god Kori what the heck were you thinking!" His grip tightened making her gasp for air. It didn't help when Mahiru's grip joined his.
"Kori Itikashi I don't know whether to be proud of you or to kill you!" She shouted making everyone sweat drop.
"Both of you, let go of kori or she'll suffocate." Misoka stated calmly. Akira and Mahiru blinked before letting kori breath once again.
Mitsuru stomped over to Takimu who had a puzzled look on his face.
"Alright kid you said you'd explain everything now get explaining. Starting with just why you thought you could just jump into a battle like that!" He yelled.
"Look whose talking." Nozomu muttered smirking.
"hold that thought." Mitsuru growled to Takimu as he started chasing the vampire in circles.
Takimu blinked and kori sweat dropped.
"Ill be happy to explain no that the danger is gone, but…" Takimu glanced at the once very nice shop.
It truly did look like a battle scene.
"I think we better clean up first." He said and everyone sweat dropped.
I know all of you reading this must be like "WTF! That was the perfect time to kill Blackwall! Why isn't he dead!" But trust me Blackwall will get his share soon. And...tee hee…Kori has a love interest now! Thank you to my reviewers who helped come up with a name and thank you lil1diva for giving me the idea of Takimu.
Takimu: Please read and review
