A/N: I decided to write a male/female story, since I've been writing a lot of yaoi lately. I hope you enjoy this story, and I also hope you review and tell me what you think. Anyway, here it is…

This update will be short due to writer's block. I'm really starting to think about quitting this story for awhile until I'm finished with my other ones. If you think I shouldn't, please inform me.

Chapter Three: Affliction Part Two:

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Fear…

She was consumed by it as she ran with all of her life's energy and refused to stop even if she was tired. She wrapped an arm around the wound and tried to at least apply some pressure to it. Her vision was getting hazy and the only thing that was keeping her moving was her feet that seemed to start to move on its own.

Unfortunately, her quick run was cut short when she felt a huge bullet rip through the back of her knee. She coughed up blood as she fell, face-first, to the ground. She weakly tried to reach out to get up again but a familiar foot slammed down on it, rendering it futile to even try to get up anymore.

She cracked a brown eye open and looked up the slim and lithe boy attached to the foot. She narrowed her one eye (the only one she could open at the time) at the silver-haired male who smiled down at her.

"See? I told you that I didn't want to hurt you but you left me no choice", he said in an almost soft whisper.

She sneered and spat on his boot, "Getting the head of a freaking alien isn't worth killing another human being!".

Yazoo sucked in breath sharply, and Elena knew she had hit a nerve. The silver-haired male narrowed his glowing aqua green eyes and she knew from then she was in deep shit. He looked like a demon as his eyes flashed with his quiet rage and his lips curled downward into a frown. She yanked her arm over and over again to try to move it from under his boot.

"You won't talk about Mother like that again. I'll make sure of that", he hissed, loosing all cool in his usually calm voice.

He pulled out his gun again and aimed it directly in the middle of her forehead. She gasped and closed her eyes, preparing for the end. She didn't want it to end like this though. She used all of her remaining energy to yank her hand back.

"Help!", she cried at the top of her lungs.

"Why are you yelling so loudly for? I haven't shot you…yet", he said as he cocked his gun.

If her heart was racing while she was running, then it would be beating out of her chest by now. Her brown eyes grew wide and her jaw hit the ground beneath her. She cried out when she felt his boot put all of his body weight onto her hand that probably had all of its bones crushed.

"Are you ready to die?", he asked as he put his slim index finger over the trigger.

"Help!", she continued to cry out.

He slowly started to press the trigger.

Boom…Whoosh…

His actions were cut short when a foreign bullet flew across his face. He gasped and took a reflexive step back. The blonde woman took this chance to remove her blood red hand. She managed to sit up on her knees and kicked the silver-haired male's legs out from under him.

His glowing eyes widened to saucers as he "gracefully" fell backwards onto the muddy ground below them. A series of bullets, which came out of nowhere, started flying past them and she started to crawl away.

"Elena, hide behind the trees!".

That voice…

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Show me, Elena. I would love to see her".

His voice was obviously dripping with hate in them. The two silver-haired males in front of him smirked. The youngest one tugged on his black hair harshly, burning holes on the side of his face with his glowing aqua green eyes.

"We will do no such thing", he said. "Maybe if you give us the location of that friend of yours, then we'll consider giving you your girlfriend back".

"I-", the black-haired man cut himself off. "I won't tell you a thing".

The silver-haired youth sighed and unsheathed his double bladed katana. He began twirling it around like a baton in front of the older man's face. The older-looking silver-haired male behind him was snickering as the black-haired Turk tried to move away from the swinging blades.

"Should I start cutting off the skin of your face? Or maybe something else?", the silver-haired youth said as he ghosted his hand over the older man's loins.

The dark-haired man sneered at him and narrowed his dark eyes. This only made the youth's grin even broader. He wished that there were some way out or some way to get to Elena. He had to save her but he had to know her location.

The youth stopped swinging the blade and pressed just the tip of it into the older man's upper thigh. A hiss ripped out of his throat and he bit his lip as the youth started to press it in even more, loving the look of pain on his face.

"Want to say something now?", he asked.

"You can burn in hell with Sephiroth…", the leader of the Turks spat hatefully.

"Now, now…that really smarts. You shouldn't wish no one was in hell. Aren't you the polite type?", the youth teased.

"Hey, Kadaj, no fair. I want to hurt him!", Loz cried as he charged at the two. "For Mother!".

Before Kadaj could move, the clumsy muscular man ran into him, pushing the blades all the way through Tseng's thigh. The black-haired Turk cried out in pure pain again. His blood was pooling down his legs and onto the dry ground. His vision almost instantly grew hazy and he could barely see the two silver-haired males arguing with each other.

"You idiot! Now that you did that, he's probably going to pass out in a second or two from blood loss. What are you going to do with a dead hostage? We need him to tell us where Mother is since Yazoo hasn't come back yet!", he heard the youth yell.

"I'm sorry. Maybe if you didn't leave me out of things, then I wouldn't have done that!", he heard Loz yell back.

It was followed by a whimper from Loz as he started to cry a little. Kadaj rolled his eyes and yanked the two blades out of the black-haired man's legs, ripping a groan deep from his throat.

The older man let his body hang down. He didn't have the strength to lift anything. The bleeding wound on his leg assured that as it zapped his energy with every passing second. He began panting slowly as the dark spots in his vision started to grow bigger.

"Must save…Elena", were the last of his words as he slipped into unconsciousness.

Elena frantically looked around, searching for the person who was telling her to get behind the trees. She heard a twig snap and saw Yazoo getting up. Suddenly, she felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist. Before she could even do anything, the arms lifted her up and away from the angry silver-haired male who was picking up his pretty silver gun.

Her unknown savior threw her over his shoulder and she caught a flash of black and red before she started looking at the ground again. She felt a supporting hand on her upper thigh.

She curled her body around so that she could get at least a quick look at her savior before she passed. Unfortunately, she only caught back of him who had long black hair and red a cape on. That was all she saw before she fell limp over his shoulders.
