Man, this was a damn stupid cloister... Because of our limited amount of guardians, everything just got harder... We'd already been fighting for almost 20 minutes! Kuro was casting spells using double or triple cast, Heihachi was putting his new wings to use and diving and swooping back and forth gathering Bahamuts attention while occasionally slashing at him as Hakkai was able to use his techniques.
I blocked with my whitemage staff as Dark Bahamut clawed at me and tossed me to the other side of the room.
Ok, scratch that. This was ALOT harder.
"You ok?" Heihachi asked skidding to the ground and helping me up. I nodded and watched as Hao's Spirit of Fire was trying to crush Bahamut with it's giant hand.
"Man, this is actually harder than I thought, even with Hao here." I said pulling my Whitemage hood off. Hakkai launched Kariudo off his hands and sent her flying over Bahamut. She shot a hail storm onto Bahamut then after landing behind him spread her arms open as dark energy started to flow out from her body sending her coat and headband flapping in the air from the energy.
"Black Dragon of the North!" she shouted swinging her arms forward at Bahamut. The darkness took form as a giant black dragon surged toward Bahamut and he roared in pain as the dragon coiled itself around Bahamut's neck and sent him crashing to the ground.
"Whoa, that's cool! Teach me how to do that!" Kuro smirked and stood in front of Bahamut, "Well, time to send him back. Kiako get over here!" I quickly joined her and looked down at the Aeon. By the way it was laying on the ground it looked like it was ready to launch itself at us any moment. I sighed, remembering when I actually DID summon Bahamut before. It was only once, Kuro had launched my into the sky with her staff and I was going to fall to my death. It was all for training, but still, scary none the less...
Kuro was teaching Kariudo the prayer and and I smiled. It's a good thing they become quick friends, that makes things alot easier. I let out a calming breath and looked up at Hei-san. He had a few scratches, nothing serious this time. I peered at Hao, who was totally unharmed and Hakkai, he was still cheery as ever but still looked tired from the battle.
My ears perked themselves up as I heard a whirring sound and looked around to see if there were any machines. Strangely enough, even the machines and blasts sounds from outside couldn't make it in here, we were too far from that battle. I looked at Bahamut again seeing it digging it's claws into the floor, the wheel on it's back turning.
"Um, Kuro..." I poked at the black mage, "Doesn't that thing on his back spin when he...uh... He's gonna do his...um...uh..."
"'His um...uh...' Spit it out already!" Kuro said, adding a mocking impersonation of me. I started to slowly back away.
"Um, Overdrive?" I said pointing. Sure enough the wheel on Bahamut's back had started to rotate even faster now.
"Oh shoot!" Kuro cursed, "Megaflare!" We had all backed up again the other far side of the room from Bahamut as a light started to grow in his mouth.
"Everyone behind me!" Hakkai shouted jumping in front of all of us and began chanting. He thrust his hand forward and a barrier sprung up. I quickly cast my own chakra barrier and a Barrier spell just for good measure. Oh god oh god! Megaflare! Sure maybe in my FF X game load I could fend this thing off no problem, only this WASN't my load and my heart felt like it was going to rip itself out from my chest! Man, how could Yuna take this pressure?
I winced as the Megaflare hit and closed my eyes to block out the blinding light. There was a loud CRACK and a shatter as the barriers broke and I was flung back into a wall or something hard... At first, I wasn't even sure what to do. Open my eyes, move my fingers? Next came the shaking...
"-an... Kiako-chan!" my eyes snapped open seeing Heihachi shaking my shoulders to try and wake me up. Well, good for him, I'm awake... I looked to the side seeing Kariudo cradling Hakkai. Some of his clothing was torn and his monacle was cracked. I stood up feeling like I was ready to keel over any second and quickly check Hakkai. At least his barrier worked, he was just unconcious. Kariudo, who seemed to have crashed into the wall from Hakkai slamming back into her, was muttering a few words and seemed to only be stunned. I let out my breath in relief. At least no one else was going to die today...
Kuro was muttering curses as she rubbed at her shoulder and Hao was helping her stop some bleeding that was around her leg somewhere. I slumped against the wall and ran my hand through my bangs. Man, remind me why we're here again? I stopped and pulled my hand out of my hair feeling something sticky. Red stuff covered my whitemage glove and I stared at it for a moment until noticing the back of my head hurt... I felt a trail on my face so I guess... I must've hit my head hard enough to actually make it bleed this time.
I looked up seeing my vision streaked with my blood and saw Bahamut wrestle himself out of Kariudo's dragon spell. He growled and dug his claws into the ground again as his wheel began to spin and his mouth lit up. Staggering back up, I put up a thin barrier with any power I could focus. Sure it wasn't gonna hold up, but still... I needed to try. Even if my barrier's pretty much weaker then Hakkai's, I still needed to try!
Do you want power?
I paused at Kokuzoku, my inner voice. Power? Well, it'd be kinda nice in this situation.
What do you want this power for? To hurt, or to heal?
I... I want to...Protect them...
Bahamut's Megaflare charged up and the power was starting to spill out into the giant stream.
Hm, I see. Then you shall have power.
Sparks flared from my fingertips and swirled around to form a kind of Moon and Star shaped barrier that glowed brightly a vivid whiteish blue. The Megaflare slammed into the barrier making me start to skid backwards. I felt something brace me from behind and glanced over my shoulder seeing Heihachi pressing his hands on my back as he smiled at me. As soon as I saw some of the Megaflar fading away, Kuro rushed forwards.
"As soon as the Megaflare stops, put down your barrier!" she commanded and her own dark magic swirled around her. Hao stood beside her as his own fire mixed with Kuro's black fire. As another black fire began to crawl and join Hao and Kuro's fire, I looked to see Kariudo casting her Black Dragon tech. She nodded at me and Kuro.
"Yosh..." I compressed my barrier a bit and when the last of the Megaflare was spent from Bahamut, I sent the compressed energy at him. The Aeon was knocked back onto his hind legs leaving him stunned at the moment.
"Oversoul: Suzaku!" Kuro shouted raising her phoenix pinion. Her phoenix spirit erupted from the feather and Hao's Spirit of Fire's flames mixed with Kuro's Suzaku flames.
"Dark Fenix Flare!" the three of them shouted and Kuro's Oversoul launched itself at Bahamut swirling around it as Spirit of Fire swirled the other direction causing a cyclone of the two fires. Kariudo's dragon spiraled around to contain and shape the fire cyclone. The intense heat started to cause the paint from the walls to peel and the stone stared to heat up into glowing red lava that started to drip down. I quickly dragged Heihachi to where Kariudo and Hakkai were and put up another barrier and cast NulBlaze on all of us. I yanked my hood down over my eyes to block out the bright light and waited for the heat to subside. When I felt a bit cooler, I peeked up from under my hood and sighed seeing that all that remained was Bahamut's smoking body as pyraflies began to float from it. I let the barrier down and we all staggered to our feet. I healed Hakkai with a Cura spell and we all approached Bahamut.
Kariudo, with a huff, took her dagger and after doing a rough version of the prayer and stabbed her dagger into Bahamut's wheel. The aeon let out a final roar and the pyraflies dispersed blowing away the body.
"We better go check on the others now." I said and we all headed out of the room.
"Ah, not yet." Heihachi said taking some kind of handkerchief from his pocket wetting it with some water from a tiny bottle and rubbing it around my face, "Kakashi wouldn't let me live it down if I let you walk out with blood all over your face." When he finished I rubbed at my face then nodded.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"Oy! Would you guys quit goin' all lovey on us and hurry up so we can get out of here?" Kuro shouted.
ʓʓʓ
We collected the other guardians and went outside to see the battle had calmed down somewhat. Mostly everyone was too tired to fight anymore except in the main square. Vincent and a few other guardians were still going at it with... Hey what the... Where's Hojo?
I only saw a few red and silver blurs darting back and forth along the quad and there was a sudden shockwave when two things suddenly became visable in the center. A man with silver hair and pants with no shirt and held two blades similar to Gunblades, only in shotgun form. Vincent was parrying them back with his Cerberus gun and then they both flipped back skidding along the ground. Last second Vincent collapsed to the ground clutching a bleeding wound on his chest.
"Ha, the Great Vincent Valentine. Chaos. If only you understood the power I possess now, I have to say I must thank you for showing me this world full of so many pure souls. Of course, I also have that boy to thank for so desperatly wanting to help me." the silver haired man laughed gesturing to someone laying on the floor a few feet back.
"You... You..." Vincent hissed slowly trying to stand up again. The silver haired man laughed and I felt a shiver down my spine. That cackle... I took a sniff in and smelt the silver man's scent along with something else. Something that I smelt earlier...
The silver haired man seemed to have finally taken notice of us standing to the side.
"Ah, I see your Lucifer didn't alter your body too much. Interesting." he said. Everyone braced themselves then scattered to surround him. I went to Vincent and put a Regen spell on him.
"Take it easy ok? We're here to help." I said.
"It won't matter... He's fast and his body's pretty much indestructable..." Vincent replied and gestured to the person lying on the floor, "He stabbed his hand into him, I doubt he's alive anymore, or if he's gonna live any longer..."
Oh yeah? We'll just see about that...
I stood up and began to make my way to the person. I felt Vincent stop me.
"Hm?"
"He's from Deepground. He's suppose to be with Hojo..." Vincent said.
"Hey, if that dude, which seems to be his co-worker or something went and killed him, I don't think he'd be our enemy anymore would he?" I said.
With that I edged around the silver haired man and bent down near the guy. He had long raven hair and some kind of strap like mask that just covered his mouth and kept some hair from his face. He also had a pair of mechnical looking wings that had glowing blue thingies. Like Vincent said, there was a hole in his chest that was leaking more blood. Even though, it kinda looked like something was trying to clot it up... I leaned down a bit to listen for any sign of life. Hey, I still wanna check. There was soft faint gasping sounds and groans as the man constantly was repeating a word.
"...eiss...Wei..."
I sighed relived that at least he was still alive, even with a hole in his chest. I pulled my gloves off with my teeth and cast Regen on him then small doses of Cura. Unfortunatly, I haven't learned Curaga yet... If I had Fayt wouldn't have died...
After a moment the boy's breathing got a bit better and his words clearer.
"...we...iss..."
"Oh shush... Talking makes you die faster..." I muttered. Heh heh, that had to be one of the best quotes ever from Legend of Dragoon.
"Why...Who..." the man's eyes opened halfway and he stared at me with crimson eyes similar to Vincents. I was pretty sure that if he had the strength and energy, he'd had probably ripped my head off for being near him...
"Hey I said don't talk. Don't think of moving either otherwise your wound will open more." I said casting more Cura since he gained consciousness.
"My brother... My beloved Weiss..." he turned his head to look at me, "You are not even suppose to help me. Valentine cautioned you that I was from Deepground... Leave me be to die..."
"The job of a medic isn't to judge friend or foe, just to help those who need it. Besides, it'd totally go against my nature to just leave someone dying on the ground when I have the power to heal them" I said with a smile then I let it fade, "I don't want to see any more people die around me anymore..." The man stared at me for a moment then closed his eyes.
"I see..." After a moment I heaved a sigh rubbing my head. Arg, the mental abuse of magic use was starting to kick in... Oh sweet I made that rhyme! Oww my head...
"Alright, done. Can you stand?" I asked. Almost reluctantly the man slowly got to his feet and almost stumbled back onto his face. I quickly steadied him, "Whoa careful there." After a moment he seemed to be able to stand on his own accord so I quickly checked at the others.
"GAH!" Heihachi was kicked into the air by the silver haired man then punched into the Bevelle wall falling down with the rubble. I looked back at the man.
"Go on, you must prevent people from dying no?" he said. I nodded and quickly went to the rubble moving them out of the way.
"Hei-san!" I called and moved another rock, "Hei-san!" A gloved hand grabbed a bigger rock and threw it aside.
"Yo! Hei-man down there?" Kikuchiyo said moving another rock. I nodded and after we moved a few more rocks saw a bunch of feathers. Moving some of them out of the way I saw Heihachi was a little bruised up but nothing too bad. I guess his wings shielded him...
"Man, it's really cramped here..." Heihachi managed to chuckle while wiping a trail of blood from his chin. I gave him a quick hug then pulled him out, "How're the others?"
"Everything's ok with that SHINRA raid, now there's just Mr. Bastard Fancy Glowing Pants over there." Kikuchiyo said gesturing to the silver haired man.
"Don't talk about my brother that way!" the man said suddenly beside us. The lot of us screamed from the surprise! "That, is Weiss. My brother..."
"Your BROTHER shoved his hand into you and almost killed you?" I almost shreiked.
"Wait a sec, is it spelt W-I-S-S, or does it it start with letter 'V'?" Kikuchiyo said, "Maybe it's suppose to be Visse? Hey I was just wondering!" he shouted after seeing our combined raised eyebrows. The man looked at Weiss swatting away Kein and Vale and closed his eyes.
"I only wanted my brother to live again..."
"He is alive." Wiess said and pointed one of his guns at us, "Very alive." I quickly put up a barrier and last second saw a small flash of black. I looked up seeing Cliff's hand grasped over the barrel of the gun as blood dripped from the hole in his hand. With a grunt Cliff punched Weiss in the jaw sending him flying back. He grinned and used his second shotgun to shoot Cliff.
"Cliff!" I ran out of the barrier and picked him up, "Cliff..." I quickly prepared a Cura spell until a hand snapped over my wrist.
"You have to remove the shrapnel from the gun blast first." Fayt said and his other hand clentched into a fist, "Dammit, you idiot..." I'm assuming he's refering to Cliff...
"I believe, I may be able to help." the raven haired man said appearing out of nowhere again. Dammit STOP DOING THAT! "My darkness, may be able to." he put a hand over Cliff's wound and black kind of tendrils snaked out from his hand and into Cliff. In a moment the man closed his hand into a fist and with a yanking motion and a gasp from Cliff, he held out his hand to me showing the different pieces of metal.
"Cura!" I cast the spell on Cliff. Fayt stood up, his whole translucent body shaking.
"AHHHH!" he shouted running straight at Weiss.
"Fayt wait! You're still dead don't you remember!" I shouted in a panic. A bright light formed in front of Fayt and a seal formed itself around Weiss. A bright light blew from the seal slamming him into the wall. After a moment, Weiss slided down the wall and fell on one knee on the ground.
"So... You were part of that Symbology Gene project..." he said, "Interesting boy..." His body convulsed and after muttering something scaled the Bevelle wall and jumped over it.
"Weiss!" the raven man shouted and tried to take off with his wings. Instead he fell on the ground dripping blood.
"Dammit I told you not to move so much!" I groaned in exasperation. I cast a Regen spell on Cliff then another Cura on the man. I then went to the others who were treating their own wounds.
"Hey you're alive." Zero scoffed and winced when Oscar tightened a dressing around his arm.
"So, is everyone ok?"
"We're not too bad, I suggest you go help the other soldiers." Kakashi said and when a turned he put a hand on my head, "Don't overwork your yourself with the magic, you better tend to your own injuries too ok?" I nodded.
BAM BAM!
Everyone looked up seeing airships pour in and land on the other side of the Highbridge. Hundreds of soldiers started to pile out and rush at us.
"Oh come on!" Kel shouted, "Give us a break! We fought enough today!"
"Wait. It's ok." Vincent said and holstered his gun.
"Heeey! Vincent!" a person jumped up and down waving and running at us called.
"Do you know that girl?" Leon asked.
"... No..." Vincent replied but I noticed his eye twitch. The ninja girl rushed up to us and put a hand on Vincent's shoulder.
"Hiya Vince! Miss me much?" she asked.
"Excuse me, who're you?" Kariudo asked pointing.
"Glad you asked!" there was a sudden spotlight on the girl and we all jumped back bit, where the hell'd that come from! "In a time, when darkness and evil reigns! Only one person stands above the rest! The greatest of the greatest, the best of the best! I am the great warrior, the lone white flower of Wutai! Chant! My name is...!"
"This if Yuffie." Vincent said.
"VINCENT! YOU MESSED UP MY INTRO!" Yuffie cried jumping up and down the noticed the raven haired man, "What is he doing here!"
"Eh?"
Some of the soldiers had made it to where we were and froze muttering among each other.
"It's Nero the Sable..."
I scratched behind my head the best I could without hurting myself.
"What's a Sable?" I asked.
"It's ok..." Vincent told the soldiers, "Just get a relief team down here. Help anyone you can... SHINRA members included."
"Mr. Vincent Valentine sir! Yes sir!" They all said at once and went to work.
"What's going on here? Where'd the heck'd all these guys come from no da?" Chichiri asked.
"I'll explain." a man with a beard in a blue uniform said.
"Reeve..."
"YOO!" Kel greeted happily slapping Reeve on the back, "Where's ya cat?" A black cat with a crown walked out from behind him and waved.
"Number 6 Cait Sith, please to meet you!" he said in his amusing accent.
ʓʓʓ
While Reeve was explaining to the others about their new WRO organization, I went and helped with the medical team. I took a pause to drink an Ether then watched as Cliff was lifted onto a stretcher.
"He'll be fine, looks like your magic was able to keep him from slipping into a critical level." the WRO member said. Cliff's eyes fluttered open and he gestured me to come closer.
"Hey what's with that face? Don't worry, The great Cliff Fitter will be up again in no time. I'll be in peak fighting condition later." he grinned weakly. I smiled and nodded, "By the way, does WRO stand for something too?"
"Egotism is the ansthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity you know." Kuro said in her own Whitemage dress sphere.
"What was that!" Cliff burst out shooting up then scowled.
"Stop moving!"
I watched Cliff get carried away along with Hakkai and Gorobei (He seemed to have gotten shot...) and approached a WRO member.
"How is everything?" I asked. The soldier saluted, which was kinda weird since no one every saluted me before...
"Ma'am! All injured and deceased have been put on board and are getting treatment!" she said. I nodded and thanked the member then went to join the others near a small cap they set up in the center of the uh...Place... I rubbed my head feeling some of my dried blood there. I better heal that later... I went back to the side of the Highbridge to retrieve my backpack and put it over my head. Hey it had only one strap left, better make use of it...
Taking an empty seat beside Ian, who was arguing with Kel to help explain to him what WRO was again, I tried to listen to what Reeve was explaining to us. Heh heh, Ian's poor memory compared to mine was actually kinda funny, I could remember events from when I was in Grade 1. Course, he did say he had an old head wound that affected this memory so I guess that isn't fair... Then again I ran into that same mailbox in my neighbourhood like... What, 5 times? Eh, whatever...
"So, it'd be greatly appreciated if some of you help us." Reeve said, "Deepground's forces are increadibly strong, so if you could..."
"Sorry, we can't." Kuro said changing back into her Black Mage attire and sitting down, "We have a pilgrimage to finish."
"But-!"
"I know it's important to you and well, everyone. But we have a duty to fulfill and if we don't then this world is doomed." Kuro said crossing her arms, "If you do your duty right then you won't need our help." Reeve hung his head.
"I see..." he said, "Then, I'll just go... I was even willing to PAY you but if you put it that way..."
"We'll help!" Train shouted.
"Yes yes! We'll definately help you! How much are you paying?" Sven also shouted jumping ontop of Train and flattening him to the ground, "Opps, sorry. I forgot you were still a kid..."
"Well, we do need the Gil..." Shao Li said with uncertainty.
"No kidding, we're down right poor now..." Kuro growled.
"Really? We're pretty well off." Fayt's ghost said, "We've got like, what about 2000 gil?"
"I believe so." Kariudo replied, "2000 gil right?" Kein nodded.
"What about you then?" Kuro asked and I could feel her whole group eyeing me.
"Uh..." I reached into my backpack pulling out a Hello Kitty decorated pouch. Everyone stared at it and I handed it to Kuro.
"Whoa! Jeez!" she cried her hand almost slamming into the floor, "This thing is hella heavy!" Sven picked it up from her hand.
"Whoa you're right! This thing is almost 5 pounds!" he said, his eyes almost bulging out, "How the hell did you...manage..."
"I made us do alot of conserving. Plus Gorobei, Chichiri, Kakashi and Ian did some performances while we were on the road a while ago." I said and watched as Kuro's group were counting my gil. There were a couple of screams from nearby and some gunshots. We all turned around to see Nero with two guns shooting at any WRO members the came near him.
"Hey what're you guys doing!" I cried jumping up and stood between Nero and the WRO members.
"He's from Deepground, he has to be taken into custody!" A WRO member said then quickly added, "Um, Ma'am..." I turned to Nero.
"And you're excuse?"
Nero calmly pointed a finger at one of the WRO, "He shot at me first..." Ok... Somewhat childish but works for me.
"Listen guys, I'll look after him so don't worry ok?" I said to the WRO members, "He's coming with me anyways."
"He is?"
"I am?"
"Hey you wanna find your brother right?" I said turning to Nero, "If your bro showed up with SHINRA, then he'd have some link to a Doctor Hojo who has a link with a man named Doctor and a man named Creed who is the leader of the Apostles of the stars who has a link with a man named Seymour who wants to try and prevent my pilgrimage who is somehow linked with a couple of giant bandits we're trying to hunt down. So, technically since all of the people of our group are targeting these people and organizations, you'd have a higher chance of finding Weiss."
Everyone stared at me with open mouths.
"Oh my god, that has to be the most non-confusing babble I've heard from her in a long time." Kuro said rubbing her head. Nero glared at the WRO then tucked both his guns away in a cloud of darkness.
"Very well then." he said folding his arms like a vampire and some kind of staight jacket kinda appeared outta nowhere out of his darkness again... Man, cree-py... I sighed and walked back to the group. Hearing some rushing foot steps behind me I turned around and was bowled over by some kind of unknown force spinning almost pulling a 360.
"Whaa!" I stumbled backwards and landed on something hard in my backpack. Arg! I think I landed on my laptop! GRAH! I picked myself up just in time to see a girl throwing herself at... Hei-san?
"I was so worried! How come you left me?"
"Eh? Who's this?" I asked walking as if nothing happened, I rubbed at my shoulder though. That girl's tackle hurts!
"Ah, Kiako-chan." Heihachi smiled, "This is Miu, she-"
"Hello, I'm Miu. I'm the one who saved Hei-san after his war with the Nobuseri." she smiled and held her hand out to me. I slowly took hold of it to shake and felt a sudden chill run up and down my spine.
"I'm Kiako Ornitier. Heihachi's my guardian." I said. What is WITH this girl? She seems nice enough, long brown hair, light blue eyes, a pretty smile, so why do I get this... Feeling from her of being slaughtered any second if I turn my back?
"Your guardian? Oh you're a summoner?" Miu said with interest, "I had wanted to become a summoner once, but of course the burden of being a the High priests daughter is so overwhelming, I had no time to train and so I changed my mind about being a summoner."
"Uh huh, I see." I said and staggered back a bit. So... This is the girl who saved Heihachi when he was going to die... Kinda like when I saved him from those Bandersnatch last year...
"Why don't you all stay here for the night? We have plenty of rooms." Baralai said with a smile.
"Don't worry about your comrades either, they'll be up and ready to join you in the morning." Reeve said, "Even your friend Cliff."
"Thanks Reeve." I said with a slight bow and we all headed to the temple. Seeing Nero looking off at the sky, I gave him a pat on the shoulder, "Hey, don't worry. We'll find your bro. First get some rest ok?" He gave me a slow nod and headed inside. I glanced back seeing Miu hugging Hei-san tightly as he seemed to be speaking softly to her and petting her hair down. I gave my head a light shake then headed inside.
ʓʓʓ
I set my stuff on the bed while changing back to my normal attire and stuffing my camera into my pocket. Then I walked back out to look around the outside of the temple. It was nice and quiet besides the WRO's going ons, so I, with my ninja skills of running up walls with my Chakra, sat on top of the temple and layed on my back staring up at the colorful sky. Sun was setting and the sky was a giant blanket of red, oranges, blues and yellow. There was the occasional purple and pink along with a light shade of teal. I sighed kicking my legs up and down as they dangled off the edge.
Hm... I wonder if Hei-san's in love with Miu? They seem really close, with all the hugging and all... Or they could just be friends. Or... They...
I sat up pulling my camera out and took a picture of Bevelle filled with WRO members and everthing. Reeve was getting reports from WRO members and some of them were helping with cleaning up the temple. I went back to my position on my back and closed my eyes feeling the cool breeze blow through my bangs. When I put my hands behind my head to pillow it I winced. Damn, I knew I forgot something... I sighed. Eh, I'll get it later...
"Kiako-chan!" I sat up again and looked down seeing Heihachi walking around. I couldn't mistake those wings for anyone elses, "Kiako-chan! Hmm... That's odd... Chichiri said she was outside..." I opened my mouth to call down at him but instead saw a brown head run at him and embrace him from behind.
"How come you keep disappearing from me?" Oh, it was Miu... "Come inside! You were gone for months, I wanna catch up! Like for instance, those wings..."
"Heh heh, ok ok." I watched them walk back inside and sighed. Well... I guess I was wrong... I felt water running down my face and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.
What the hell...
Either I'm really tired, or I'm actually...
No, why would I be crying? I don't feel sad... Well, not THAT sad that I'd cry... But for probably the wrong reason! Uhg... After a moment, I involuntarily growled.
"God DAMMIT!" I slammed my fist down on the roof beside me and it shook, "Whoa!" I slipped off the edge and almost turned my own head into mush until I flipped around and landed hard on my feet and hands. I cringed. Damn, my knees and elbows took too much shock... I fell back on my bottom and sat there with my elbows resting on my knees and my hands on my head.
Hei-san... Wait no, I guess... I shouldn't be calling him that anymore...
More water ran down my face and I wiped them away again.
"What's wrong?" I looked up seeing Kakashi with his Come come Paradise book, "You crying again?"
I scowled, "I fell off the roof..." I replied and went back into my Turtle position. Kakashi sat down beside me snapping his book shut then pat my head.
"I told you to get that looked at. You're starting to not listen anymore huh." he said and I stayed quiet, "But back to the point, why are you really crying?"
"I... I don't know..." I said hanging my head and hiding under my hands, "I don't know why I'm crying...over such a stupid thing..." Kakashi sighed and put his arm over my shoulder.
"It's ok to cry for no reason," he said, "Come on, let's get inside, Kuro said the three of you will be doing a sending tomorrow." I nodded staggering to my feet and walked back inside with Kakashi, my knees and elbows shooting bits of aches and pains from the joints from my ungraceful landing.
Maybe, everthing will just go back to normal tomorrow morning...
Authors notes: Hey everyone, sorry for the Uber long chapter... I was kinda uh... Well uh...AAAAAHH! SCHOOL STARTS AGAIN TOMORROW! XD I'm kinda excited, but at the sametime worried that I'll start doddling again. No worries I'll still be working on my fics, just not as often. OMG though, I played FF VII Dirge of Cerberus and I'm so in love with it... I beat it in 10 hours! TwT When I wrote this chapter I tried not to release any spoilers or anything in case no one's played it yet. Anywho, thanks for reading everyone! Bye
