A.N. Yo, mein revistas! Te amê, shitze! Whoever can identify those languages gets a…prize? I don't have anything to give you, though….;-; So yeah, love you all who are still here, because I didn't think anyone had that kind of patience. Blood and gore should be next chapter, not very much in this one. whoa, I tried typing in an emoticon and this popped up, how did that happen? Weird…and the arrow, too, I didn't do that…crazy shit! Give me your guesses and opinions about this chapter…I'll be happy. ♥
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
'This is pointless,' Riku thought irritably, watching Cloud and Leon as they followed the wolves to the edge of the forest. 'Why are they coming with us, when it would be far more reasonable to find another pair that doesn't hate our guts?' He growled softly, his feet making no noise in the sand as they jogged along the beach.
Roxas could feel the discontent pouring from the other wolf in waves, and he whined, knowing that if he could feel it, then the two men behind them probably would pick up on it. He nudged the silver wolf, trying to get him to calm down. Riku seemed to understand, sighing deeply and looking up as the forest drew closer and closer.
'A search for a silver wolf in a dark forest, accompanied by two people that would prefer it if our heads were removed,' Riku thought bitterly, 'Wonderful.' He had gotten Roxas' message, but he couldn't help it. The way that Cloud had looked at him, condescending and amused, worried him. He thought that the blonde would have been just as angry as last night. Instead, his entire mood had changed, and it worried the silverhair to no end. What was Cloud planning…?
Behind them, Cloud was grumbling to himself under his breath. 'Great. Now I get to go and search for a silver wolf through this whole damn forest, when I'm thoroughly convinced that the one who did it is searching with me. Whoop-de-flipping doo,' he thought grimly. He was amazed at how the wolves had recovered from their wounds, and even now Riku had barely a limp from his wounded shoulder and side. He didn't like it. Leon put a hand on his shoulder, murmuring, "It's all right, Cloud. We'll find out tonight if he really did it or not."
Still a bit miffed, Cloud nodded. But, in his opinion, Riku seemed to be acting differently tonight, much more cautious and nervous than their previous encounter. It unnerved the blonde, and he thought to himself, 'He must be planning something…'
The four continued on, their thoughts jumbling and racing as they tried to figure everything out; what they were doing here, how they'd find the silver wolf, how to get their companion to calm down, and just what the other was planning to do in that forest…
Unbeknownst to them, cold, steely-blue eyes watched them as they proceeded to the dark woods, a feral grin on the canine face as the lean, lupine body slipped from shadow to shadow, bright silver fur dulled by the darkness.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Sora swore as he continued to comb the streets for any sign of a silver wolf. He doubted that they'd be able to find it, and he was becoming increasingly worried about the ones heading to the forest. What would happen if they did meet up with whatever had killed Aerith? Would they really be able to hold their own against it? He growled, hitting the side of a building in frustration as the night continued to get longer.
A hand on his shoulder made him turn, and he looked to see Tifa standing there, her hand soft and comforting.
"Don't worry," she said softly, soothingly, "Either they'll find it or we will, but we'll find it."
"It's not that I'm worried about," he admitted. "I'm worried about what happens when they do find it."
Tifa nodded. The same dilemma was racing through her mind, and she knew exactly what Sora was going through. It was driving her crazy, too.
"Don't worry," she reassured him. "They'll all be okay. If they do find it, they'll be able to fight it off."
Sora nodded, feeling a bit better for hearing that from the fighter. "I hope you're right…well, let's go. The sooner I get to the forest, the better I'll feel."
Tifa nodded, and they continued their search, unaware of what was going on in the forest at that moment.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Riku and Roxas ran together, matching each other stride for stride. They weaved around trees, rocks, and various other obstacles, always keeping in sight of each other. It had been unanimously decided that the pairs had to stay together. If one duo found the other wolf before the other, then they would alert the other pair to the discovery in whatever way they could.
It took all of their concentration to focus on staying together, avoiding upcoming obstacles, and looking every whichway for the silver wolf. Thus, they both failed to notice the figure above them, leaping from tree to tree elegantly and silently. If there was a rustle of leaves, it was immediately hidden by the wind blowing and shaking the trees.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Leon swore as he raced through the trees. 'That fucking Cloud!' he thought, pissed off. 'Just left and ditched me! What the hell is he thinking?' He swerved around a large tree, trying to find either Cloud or the wolves, but preferably the irritable blonde. He wasn't looking forward to meeting up with werewolves, no matter what side they were on, in the forest in the middle of the night.
"Shit," he growled, starting to run faster as chills ran down his spine. "This whole place is fucking creepy…"
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Cloud tore through the forest, his blue eyes searching below him. He had to find whoever had killed Aerith, and if this was the only way, then so be it.
Either way, someone was going to pay for what had happened.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!
Riku slowed his pace, growing increasingly wary of the fact that someone was watching them. Roxas turned back, not expecting the sudden change in speed. Whining a question, he looked at Riku, confused.
Riku, for once, ignored him, staring all around them, trying to figure out who was watching them. His gaze swept around him, trying to permeate the dark forest with his eyes. Seeing nothing suspicious, he growled in irritation, shaking his head. He kept on, but slower this time. Someone was definitely watching them, he decided, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck rise.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
The foreboding feeling crept up on Sora, and he shivered, rubbing his arm with his free hand. Tonight was probably one of the worst he had ever experienced, next to the one where Riku was trying to bite his head off.
Still, even as they finished their searching, coming up empty-handed, the uneasiness didn't leave the brunette. He glanced at Tifa, and could tell that she was feeling the same way as she looked back, worry apparent in her brown eyes. He nodded, and jogged towards the forest, Yuffie on their tail, wondering why the tension in the air had suddenly tripled.
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
Riku stopped suddenly, whirling as a dark shape hurled itself at the two wolves. Silver flashed, and Roxas whined as his side was scored deeply. The shape had disappeared as soon as it had come, vanishing in the dark like a phantom.
'Was that fur or metal?' Riku thought, checking on Roxas worriedly. 'I couldn't see…dammit, if that was Cloud…'
i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i!i
