Chapter Five:
Rescue Mission
The old Kuran Manor….
Lia's room….
He had his arms wrapped around me. I could feel his toned, even chest. He had returned my memories. I had loved him once, but not anymore I loved Kain. Now more than anything in the world I wanted Kain. I felt the baby moving, then I heard this tiny, little voice inside my head.
"mama."
The baby was aware. Aware of the surroundings around her.
"mama."
"what is it Hana?"
"Am I evil?"
"no, you're not evil."
"mama, it's almost time."
"what's almost time?"
"I'll be coming soon."
"Hana wait. Just wait for a few more days."
"I don't think I can, but I'll try."
Then I heard the explosion. I crept out of bed and walked over to the window. I took a chance and looked out the window, what I saw gave me a lot of hope and relief. I saw my bodyguard, Toga Yagari and, one of my closest friends, Rosette Christopher. They were the distraction. Behind the house I saw my father, Father Remington, and Chrono sneaking in through the backyard. They were followed, shortly afterwards, by various other members of the Magdalene Order, the Senate, and the Hunter's Society. Coming from the woods, which were facing my window, I saw Lady Catarina, Able Knightroad, and Kaname's father, Haruka Kuran heading straight towards my window. Then Rido was standing next to me as he looked out the window he swore "Damn!" Rido grabbed me and took me down to the crypt and proceeded to lock me in. when he left I could faintly hear Father Remington and Chrono rescue Nana and the others. I lost track of time and fell asleep.
The Front Gate….
Rosette Christopher and Toga Yagari. Their job is to distract the guards patrolling the perimeter. So that Father Remington and the others can sneak into the house through the backyard. "So. How do we go about distracting the henchmen?" Yagari asked Rosette. "With this." She said to him as she held up the grenade. Rosette pulled the pin out of the grenade and tossed it over the front gate. "Five. Four. Three. Two. One." Yagari counted down to when the grenade exploded. "And here they come." All ten guards patrolling the perimeter came running towards them. By the time that the smoke cleared half the guards had been turned to dust. The other half were humans apparently and were bound and gagged waiting to be hauled off by the hunter's society. Their job now done they went to get some coffee and donuts. ( cliché, I know. -_-)
Father Remington's group…
The backyard….
Father Remington, Kaien Cross, and Chrono were waiting for the initial signal from the front of the house. *KA-BOOM!* "That's the signal." Remington said to the others. They quickly ran through the backyard and into the house. "According to Shizuka Hio the hostages are in two separate rooms in the basement." Kaien Cross said. As they descended into the basement. They were met with the kidnappers. "I'll deal with these brainwashed, idiotic punks." Cross said to Remington and Chrono.
Basement room # 1…..
As Father Remington kicked down the door he got tackled by Takuma Ichijo " Take that evil kidnapper." Ichijo said as he stood up then he noticed that he tackled the would be rescuer instead of the kidnapper. "Aah! I'm so sorry. Uh. Who are you?" he said as Remington stood up and said to both Takuma Ichijo and his grandfather Ichio " I'm Father Remington from the Magdalene Order and I'm here to help rescue you two." "About stinking time someone came to save us. I've had nothing to eat except blood tablets and I want a double cheese burger from Hardees. What's worse is that I've had to listen to my grandson whine and complain about not being able to read any manga. Now let's get out of here." Ichio said as he went charging through the house and the front yard towards the first aid tent. With Ichijo and Remington following behind him.
Basement room # 2…..
As Chrono broke the lock on the door and kicked it open he was met with the weirdest, bizarrest sight he had ever seen. The black-haired girl (Nana) was wearing a pink dress. The pink-haired girl (Seiren) was wearing a frilly maid's outfit. The dark brown-haired girl (Hachi) was playing Clue with one of the kidnappers. Before any of the kidnappers could respond they were out cold and on the floor. "Okay, you three. Get your butts moving. I'm here to rescue you." Chrono said to them. "Finally! We're saved!" all three of them said as they ran past Chrono, out of the house, and towards the first aid tent with Chrono following after them.
The First Aid tent……
The people in charge of the first aid tent are as follows:
#1: Esther Blanchette
#2: Mordacai Cross
#3: Kain Akatsuki
#4: Hanabusa Aido
#5: Kaname Kuran
#6: Yasu
#7: Shin
#8: Nobu
#9: Kaien Cross- ( shot himself in the foot. _)
#10: Able Knightroad - (knocked himself out by running into the wall ~_~)
Patient # 1: Kaien Cross.
"Here you go, headmaster. This should help the pain." Esther said to him as she gave him some pain killers. "Thank you, Esther." He said as Kaname walked up and said. "Serves you right." "Why's that?" the headmaster asked. "o_o?! You're in the first aid tent, because you somehow shot yourself in the foot." Kaname said exasperared. "Oh, that. My hand slipped." The headmaster said rather embarrassed.
Patient # 2: Able Knightroad.
Esther seen Lady Catarina quite literally dragging Able Knightroad into the first aid tent. "What. Happened. To. Him. This. Time." Esther asked Lady Catarina. "He ran into the wall and knocked himself out." She said to Esther who put her hand to her face and groaned.
Patient # 3: Asato Ichijo. "Ichio."
"Ah! Real food. More importantly, it's a double cheese burger from Hardees." Ichio said as he began eating the burger. "How are you feeling, sir." Mordacai Cross asked him. "Much better, my boy." Ichio told him then he mumbled under his breath "I dare say that being held hostage for six weeks is easy compared to the torture TJ/MJ put me through back in the sixties. That particular experience still gives me nightmares." *shudders*
Patient # 4: Takuma Ichijo.
Kaname Kuran knew just what to do for Ichijo. "Here, Ichijo." Kaname said to him as he dumped about fifty different series of manga on him. "Manga! Oh, thank heavens! Now, I can cath up on everything that I missed over the last six weeks." Ichijo said as he began fervently reading all that manga.
Patient # 5: Nana Osaki.
Yasu's glasses fell off his head in absolute shock when he seen Nana wearing that poofy pink dress with pink bows in her hair. "o_o!! Nana…Why are you wearing a dress? A pink dress." Yasu asked her while quickly taking a picture and laughing his head off. "Shut. Up. And hand me a change of clothes why don'tcha." She yelled at him as he tossed her some clothes to change into. "So. You've been playing dress up for the past six weeks." Yasu asked. "No, it was torture!!" she said while w him on the head.
Patient # 6: Seiren.
As Seiren walked into the tent Hanabusa Aido just stared at her and took a picture. He was about to say something. When she glared at him and said "Don't say a damn word." Then she walked off her face red as can be.
Patient # 7: Hachi Komatsu.
Hachi walked in, yawned, and fell asleep. The only torture they put her through was playing Clue with the kidnappers. (*sigh* I know it's a little lame.)
Lady Catarina's group……
Able Knightroad and Haruka Kuran went to find Rido, but before they even made it past the front gate. Able Knightroad ran into the wall and knocked himself out. Haruka Kuran went ahead without him. He ran into the house and quickly found his brother Rido. "Where is she, Rido?" Haruka said to his brother. "You'll never find her and you'll never take her from me, either." Rido said to him. Then they attacked each other and their fight to the death had begun. As the fighting continued a boy named Joshua showed up. Haruka and Rido didn't seem to notice him as he made his way down to the crypt.
They were nearing the end of their fight. Haruka had won the fight, barely. As he drank his brother's blood and ripped out his heart. He activated the device in the basement that would destroy the house, permanently. He had less than thirty minutes to search the house and to get out. He instantly appeared beside headmaster Cross and said. "I searched the house. She's not there." They had less than five minutes before the house went up in smoke, then time itself seemed to have been stopped.
