Hi guys...Sorry, this took too long. I've been so busy lately. Sorry again...I hope you enjoy! I hope -slightly nervous-
Okay..Here it is...
Chapter Five: Whisper
There was silence for a time. There were emotions trapped, unexpressed and just ready to explode. Impatient look hidden for a moment until...
"Listen." Kei spoke up barely audible. He got confused but hid it under his mask. What should I listen to? Could it be...? he questioned. Her expression changed. He knows, better yet, he knew. She was hiding her childish look, her childish fear. She started humming a tune. He felt so heavy all of a sudden. He felt like he wants to chase something...something important.
There's a whisper in the air you breath
Underneath the sky tonight...
She whispered a few of the lyrics. Naru heard it. Even though, it was just a whisper.
"A whisper..." he repeated to himself. She looked down.
As if hearing what he said, she answered,"A whisper, words that are meant to be kept...meant to be hidden."
"There is so much more to a whisper..." she continued.
"When you whisper...it means...those words are meant for only one person...And..." she paused to look at him more directly.
"Not for EVERYONE ELSE!" she quoted. He looked at her mystical face.
"What should I listen to?" he asked. She gestured him to be quiet.
Meanwhile, Mai was still admiring the breath-taking scenery. Every flower of every kind was most likely to be seen. Her sight came upon the bushes of blue roses which she adored. If there are blue roses? Where could the red ones be? she pondered on her thoughts.
She turned around to look for them until...
There they are! Wow...they are so beautiful! she admired. She must really like flowers... she thought as she moved towards the bush. She was almost there when she noticed it was getting dark already.
"Almost night time? where could all the time have went?" she asked herself. " Maybe? A little while longer..." she thought of picking one before she would get inside the house.
In Kei's room...
The room was full of silence. He was alert to any types of noises. Then suddenly, the 2nd phrase of the lyrics she have said kept repeating by his ears. As if, someone was whispering to him. He looked by the window and noticed the darkness. Night!
Aaaaaaaaahhh! The silence was broken. Naru's heartbeat raised. An ear deafening cry could be heard.
"RUN!" Kei called out to him.
"Naru!" it was Mai. She's calling him but her voice was somewhat fading away. Kei stood up and ran to the stair case with a fear expression revealed in her eyes. Naru stood up and ran beside her. Mai was at the garden but her voice was so distant. It was far away. They paused to listen to where it came from.
"Help!" came her voice again.
"She's playing with us!" Kei spoke up while running down. He wanted to ask who but there was no more time.
"The Garden, Naru-nii..." he then sped towards the back door and into the garden. The little girl followed close to him. The door banged open.
"Naru! Help! Naru!" voice could be heard from somewhere around.
She wasn't there. "Naru-nii!" Kei gasp and pointed by the rose bush. It was dark, the only light source was the moon, the full moon. They came upon the rose bush. Blood dripped from some of the stems of the bush. A trail of blood led to somewhere but it stopped.
"Naru!" Mai's voice came so far.
"Naru-nii...I know where she is!" Kei answered.
"The forest!...You have to hurry." she said in a fast pace.
"You stay here and wait for the others. If they come, tell them where I am if we don't get back from then." Naru answered in the same manner. His coolness faded away.
He ran. "Naru-nii..wait!" Kei came again. "There in the forest, there's an abandoned building site. There's a big boulder and heavy metals." she spoke faster than before. " When you get inside the forest...Follow the white trail! Then, follow the bird!" she explained. He nodded and sped off again.
He ran into the forest. He almost got lost.
Follow the white trail...came a whisper. There was a trail of white sand on the ground. He followed it to where it led but it stopped. He was facing three dark trails and he don't know where to go.
Follow the bird...another whisper came. A bird flew on the tree beside him. It was the mysterious bird! He followed it and came by an abandoned buildind just as Kei have said.
"Naru!" cried Mai. The bird flew towards the voice and chirped as it found Mai.
"Mai!" he called.
Two black wild unearthly dogs were hunting her. Naru ran to her. The dogs were large. It stood almost by his hips.
"Naru!" she cried. She stood by a big, deep hole, like a giant pit. Somewhat dug to be a ground floor from before. In front of her where the two dogs, barking visciously as if waiting for their prey to fall on the pit. Below the hole were steels that stood upward. If Mai falls, she won't make it alive. If Mai gets attacked by the dogs, she'll be ripped into pieces. He had no choice but to use his PK.
Naru used his PK to the two dogs. The dogs were half burned but they were hesitant to leave. Great fire shot from his hands but the dogs dodged it. They turned towards him. There eyes turned darker than ever. They started attacking him and one of them was burned down. Mai stood in awe. She never had seen Naru like this before. But her astonishment didn't conquer her fear.
A while ago, she was scared to die, but now, she is scared that he will be instead of her. He was tired. The dog still attacked as if it seeks revenge. He huffed to breath. He was almost worn out. The dog can't go near him but keeping the dog far from him and from Mai by using his PK will kill him if all his energy is used up.
The last shot. It was so immense. It was like hell around the site. Mai moved away from the pit to prevent from falling. The intense heat burned the dog into skeletons. And the shot left Naru with little energy. He collapsed to the ground.
"Naru!" Mai ran beside him and hugged him. She kept crying. He was still conscious when she hugged him. Her right bloody arm which was strangled by the bush enveloped him while her left palm, with cuts and blood was carressing his soft skinned face.
"Please, Naru, stay awake...Please stay." she whispered. She didn't know how much energy he has left so she felt so worried and scared.
"I want you to stay with me..." she whispered as tears streamed down her cheeks. Naru breathed in her words and went into a deep sleep.
There's a whisper in the air you breath
Underneath the sky tonight...
The others came much later. Nakazi checked his vital signs and found out that he is alright. They carried him inside the house. Mai stayed beside him all through out the night.
"How did you know where we are?" Mai asked when Takigawa went inside Naru's room.
"Kei told us..." Takigawa answered.
"You mean she can speak?" she asked bewildered.
"Yup...i think she's a composed type." he answered her again. She sighed a relief but then changed her expression as she stared at Naru. He noticed that she was worried about Naru.
"He's fine, Mai." he gently reassured her. She gave a small smile. He stood to leave.
"What about you?" he manage to ask as he head for the door. She looked at her bandaged arm and palm for a moment.
"Fine!" she answered enthusiastically. Then, he was gone.
A little later, Takigawa went back inside the room.He found Mai asleep on the chair while her head was on Naru's bedside. His pervertness strikes again.
He laughed maniacly to himself as he thought of his plan.
Meanwhile...Someone was watching him outside by the door. The little girl! She peeked inside. Takigawa didn't notice.
Okay...so there you have it...I hopeyou like it guys...I know it's not a good chapter...Sorry...sigh...The lyrics came from the song of EleventySeven, Here with Me...Just to let you know..okay?
