There is a something with my chapter titles, with this one the easiest.
I do not own Guilty Gear or any of the character and so on but the Oc is mine. I wish I did own the characters. Except for Zappa. They can keep Zappa.
Chapter 3: Ride The Lightning
"It's cold..." He shivered and moved closer to the warmer body beside him. Kuro kept his eyes shut even though he was awake. The darkness was frightening and the closet thing to cling onto was the human beside him, though Kuro didn't want to wake her up. It wouldn't be fair be receiving her help and end up waking her over something as trivia as being cold. He allowed his body to relax like before. "The darkness always leaves and the sun comes up soon...it's okay..." Sleep took him again and he drifted off.
Next morning
"Good morning Kuro!" Kuro opened one eye to stare at Dizzy. "Let's get up and go get washed!" He crawled out of bed and she led him towards the showers. Because she was leading, Dizzy missed the confused look on Kuro's face. "What does she mean?"
Johnny walked down the hall at a slow pace. He really wasn't paying attention to where he was going, his feet were just moving. "That was pretty unexpected...poor April..." Just off a chance, he looked to the right and saw Dizzy sitting by the shower room door. "Hey Dizzy." She heard him and waved. "Hello!" He came over. "Where's Kuro?" "He is taking a bath." "..how come your face is all funny?" "Kuro didn't know how to work anything in there. I guess it just my first time teaching a child." "Ahh..." She noticed something was off with Johnny and asked him what was wrong. "You know that bird April was looking after?" April had found a bird with a broken wing a few weeks ago and had been looking after it. "She found it dead this morning." Dizzy gasped. "What happened?" "Don't know. I guess its heart just stopped." "Oh..."
The door opened and Kuro steeped out. His hair was still wet so it stuck to his neck. He saw the look on their faces and took Dizzy's hand to ask his question. "What's wrong?" Johnny explained and Kuro looked deeply sad. He drew a line on Dizzy's hand and the scribbled, "I'm sorry." "It should be okay but now we need to get going. Storm's gone! Let's go!" Johnny left in a better mood so the pair went up to the deck. "When the ship gets in the air, it's a beautiful sight." Kuro walked over to the metal fence and sat down, sticking his legs through the bars. She noticed he wasn't holding his rock. "Where's your rock?" He pointed to a pocket on his left side that was hard to see against the dark blue. "Is it important to you?" He motioned with his hand to say, "So-so." Dizzy tried asking Kuro where he got it again but he just shrugged. "WE'RE TAKING OFF IN ONE MINUTE!" May's voice over the loudspeakers caused Kuro to jump in surprise and bash his head on the guardrail. "Are you alright?" He nodded and rubbed the top of his head, frowning a bit. She too touched his head to make sure there was nothing wrong. "Your hair is really soft."
"I've heard that before...where?"
"By the way, do you know where you are from?" Dizzy asked. Kuro gripped the bars tightly and stared straight ahead. "Umm..." She hoped she hadn't hit something wrong. He pulled some paper out and scribbled down, "Far from here, I think. I remember a house by a lake. A few rooms, maybe a swing set." He paused. "This could all be wrong." Having the thought that your memory could be completely false sounded scary to Dizzy but it raised the question on how he got to where she found him and, maybe because this was different to her, why he didn't seem bothered by her appearance. "Has Kuro seen a Gear before?" It was highly unlikely because each looked different and as far as Dizzy knew, she was the only one who looked this way. "You...you know I'm not human, right?" "Yes you are." Dizzy blinked. "He thinks I'm human?" His expression did not change as he wrote more. "You look different but you're human to me." Dizzy had heard that from Johnny and his crew but it made her so happy to hear it and she hugged Kuro. "Thank you." Kuro mouthed the words, perplexed, shrugged, and hugged her back. The embrace ended when the engined revved life. "Okay, here we go!" The May Ship lifted off and Kuro stood up, amazed. "Wow...!" The leaves on the trees were blown back merely by the wind as well as the grass. "It's just like the thunderstorm. So powerful..." He gripped the guardrail because he felt like he would be blown off. To him, it was proof that humans were not the strongest things in the world.
Something bright flashed in front of his eyes and he blinked, leaving spots wherever he looked and suddenly Kuro's head started to hurt. "Ah...oh that's right...I hit my head on the rail...it's---"
"Stay here." "You should be safe."
"What?" The pain intensified, making it imposable to think anymore.
"RUN!"
"Voice..." Kuro fell backwards. Or was it forwards? Either way, he hit something and blacked out.
And the rift ends...
Now that I think about it, they can also keep I-No.
This looked longer when I wrote it out on paper...oh well.
