I watched everyone work and count their weapons as they prepared for the worst in battle. A group worked on the airships as another worked on making swords, guns, knives, and other weapon material. And the last group were medical helpers that would be used to heal wounded demons or humans.
Ah, the smell of war, how I love it so. But my gut tells me that this specific war ain't gonna be pretty. I can tell by the spies that came once everyday to check on us for reasons unknown. I think they just need some ideas from us.
But I was certainly surprised when Sora and Roxas came back, saying they wanted to come back home. A certain redhead came with them. I think his name was Axel. That tall redheaded stick just happened to be a Phoenix too. He was an odd ball if you ask me, but was very much in love with the blond hybrid.
Ah well, the more warriors the better is what I say and we could use a Phoenix.
But anyways, Vincent had grown anxious for the up coming war and took it out on me with sex; not that I'm complaining though since I'm always on top. But it does get kinda tiresome when he wants it rough.
Oh well, if the uke wants his man, then let him have him. Besides, tomorrow is the big day and anything could happen. Tomorrow might be the last day I ever get to see my beautiful raven. So every second counts.
And before the next day when we had gotten the message, Nero had left to join the Tsviets because he heard that Weiss was still alive. Whatever's going on between them is beyond me. Maybe they were lovers. Pfft, beets me.
I quirked an eyebrow when someone accidentally dropped a medal pipe on someone's toe, causing that person to curse loudly. The guy who dropped the pipe apologized of what seemed like a million times before the cursing man told him to shut the hell.
I couldn't help but smirk, watching the humans and vampires work on the airships on the yard. With their incredibility, we should have several airships in the air by the end of the day. If not more.
This war is gonna be hell, I just know it.
"Hey Cid?"
"Yes Zell?" I replied as Zell came up to me, smiling, showing his long canine teeth. Oh yes, he gone through with becoming a vampire (though I have no idea why he asked me for permission) and Seifer was very pleased.
"Are you nervous about the war tomorrow?" He asks, looking a little nervous himself.
"Not really. And I wouldn't really call it a war," I say, leaning against the bar of the stairs next to the garage door. "It's more like a battle."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well… it's only going to last for a few days, maybe longer, but… I don't know. I just think of it as a battle more than of a war."
"I think I get what you're saying."
"Some things are just better left unsaid. Anyways, what's you duty supposed to be?" I finally look at him after a while, noticing that had calmed down some.
"Helping in making the swords and stuff like that." He looks away, blushing some.
"Then what are you doing here? You should be with the others making military equipment. Even though this is the 22nd century, we still need solid silver swords for close combats with vampires. Not just guns."
"Yes sire," he mocked saluted and turned on his heal back to his work station. I shook my head and smiled as he left. That boy really did remind me of a chicken.
"Master Cid! Airships have been complete!" The engineers said in usion as they finished their work on the last ship.
"Good work men, right on time too," I said, impressed at their work. I nodded my head in congratulation. "Now we need to make sure that all our men are well trained."
The men nodded their heads and went to check up on the training of the others. And not all of them were just men; there were a couple of women here and there. Some pretty strong women, especially Larxene. That woman scared the crap out of me, even though she was a human.
The rest of the woman and children and a couple of men were sent in the underground layer of the castle. An underground tunnel lead out of the cave and into the mountains, another safe place to go, and into another base.
Man, I just hope we get through this alive. And I also hope that I don't meet up with my brother Weiss, I hope someone else kills him before he reaches me. But that's highly unlikely.
Anyways, the war or battle has gotten tense.
"How many times do I have to say no, Riku?!" Sora shouted at the silver haired vampire, red with fury. "I don not want to sleep with you!"
People, who were scurrying about, stopped what they were doing and looked at the two with wide eyes. But soon went back to what they were doing after the glare the brunette hybrid gave them.
He took in a deep breath to calm himself. "Listen (sigh) Riku, I don't want anything to do with you. Why can't you get that through your head?"
"Because," the vampire started, "we used to be best friends when we were younger, even lovers." This made the brunette take in a sharp breath. "What happened to you when you were taken away from me? It's like you have no memories of us together."
"It's because I… I," he gulped before continuing, "I don't have any memories of us together. Were we really together?"
This made Riku's heart wallow in misery after hearing that. "Yes, we were together for longer then I care to remember. I even have pictures of us kissing on our first date. I had asked Kire to give it to me when we found out that she was the one who took it."
"L-let me see it. I want to see if we were really together."
"Sure thing, I always carried it around with me after you were taken away." He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small picture, handing it to Sora.
The brunette's eyes widen at what he saw. There he was in a white tank top and shorts with his lips locked on the vampire's, who was wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. His arms were wrapped around Riku's neck and the silver haired vampire had his hands on the brunette's hips.
Sora's eyes skimmed over the picture with interest, mouth opening and closing as if to say something but nothing came up. "I'm sorry, I don't remember." He handed the picture back to Riku.
"I'd be happy to make some new ones of us. That is, if you don't mind," Riku said, pulling the brunette into a hug and kissing the top of his head.
"I… I… (gulp) I guess I don't mind," Sora replied, returning the hug.
"Sora, don't ever leave me again."
"I'll try not to."
"What's wrong with you Kire?" I ask when the dark redheaded girl came running down the hallway with tears in her eyes. "Did something happen?"
"It was so beautiful!" She cried, whipping her tears from her face, smiling brightly. "I can't help but cry! It was just so beautiful!"
"What was so beautiful?"
"Sora and Riku! I was walking down the hallway when I saw Riku and Sora talking. At first they were arguing then they started kissing. What they had said to each other was just so beautiful!" Her smile seemed to grow (if that was possible).
"So… you're saying that Riku and Sora got back together? Is that what you're trying to say?"
"Yes!"
"Oh, ok. Now what are you doing up here? Shouldn't you be in the cave?"
"Oh yeah! Now I remember what I was going to do! I came up here to ask you if I could fight with you?"
"Heh, no."
She crossed her arms and made a disappointing sound. "Why not?"
"You're a girl and not battle material."
"But I can fight."
"Still, the answer is no. Now get back down to the cave; I have no idea when the Tsviets are going to attack and I don't want you to be in the way when they do. Now get going." With that, I turned around and went back to the garage.
Kire hmphed before smirking. "Who said I couldn't go if I was a boy?"
A/N: Finally came up with some more ideas. Sorry about that. A lot of things are going on. First, my tutor is leaving for I have no idea where and has to take care of her son because he's getting heart surgery. She might be gone for a couple of months. So, basically, my brother Jesse and I are going to be doing our schoolwork by ourselves. Put the horror music on now.
Also, Jesse got his braces. But I do have good news. I found out one of my friends love yaoi just as much as I do, except I am more well informed than she is. But that'll soon change.
I also found out that one of my friend's friend worships the ground I walk on and would freak out if I talked to her. It sounds kinda odd to me though. Oh well.
Review!
