Chapter 10. Acquaintances.
Akako backed up. Her breath hitched in her throat. The cold frost chilled it, as she saw her fearful gasps fly into the night air.
Chiho fell to her knees eyes wide and her body shaking like a tremor. She coughed as she felt her throat being seized, like someone's own hands clutching it.
But she lifted her glaring gaze to the Man standing before them. Thin rimmed glasses mounted on his young face and his suit of white and black shook with his shoulders as he let out a chuckle.
"It's all coming together." He laughed again and walked calmly towards the two
His posture stated confidence, and he slipped off his glasses and put them into his pocket.
Akako had just noticed what kind of room this was, only rumors had she heard on the islands about it. A solitary battle ground. It was something only those of strong magical powers could conjure up.
It was believed that the person actually sucked you into this battle field, in a dream like way so that your body was actually unconscious.
That's when it hit them; they were in a position where they had no chance.
And no one could save them.
"Who are you?"
He didn't reply but withdrew the firm grasp he had on their throats disappeared, and the two stood upright.
"I'm a member."
You never know the world is spinning. Until you feel dizziness, and you don't know how to stop it. Until you faint. But fainting is the same as dieing so your world will keep spinning and spinning. Until you take the plummet to the ground beneath your feet.
"The Crown society. I'm just a member our leader is never really seen, I'm what you could call the manager."
The Crown society. They knew they had heard it before. It was where Yuki and Kaede had been, who they were joining.
" wh-why are you here?" The man smiled and advanced towards them, stopping close enough so the could see the glint in his cold silver eyes.
"I came to pick up our exchange members."
Akako and Chiho looked at each other nervously, and tried to back up only to find themselves backing into a wall of nothing.
"Which would be Kisho, MasaHiko…" He smirked suddenly " And you two."
They walked back towards them with sudden rage in their eyes.
" What do you mean exchange, and why just us?"
The moment of smug surprise flickered across his face.
"It's just you four here right? After the other carelessly abandoned you on the islands after they trained you and quit, and you had no other choice to flee to Hollow Bastion."
Their looks of surprise were painfully obvious. Did he mean Kaede, Yuki, Kin, and Jinsei because that was just twisted! They hadn't abandoned them, not at all they had brought them here, but did it mean that some time during Kaede's and Yuki's various absences that they quit the Society.
"But their-"chiho started but was cut off by the man.
"Here? Not that would be funny because right now I think they would be running for their lives, because once you're a member…" He grabbed one of each of their hands, and squeezed them. It was as if thousands of needles were centering in on each of their palms making the two girls cry out.
"You're always a member." They looked down to see a crown tattoo onto the palm of their left hands.
In the middle of the sky you could see four blurring images vanishing in the night.
The four were just another story, and their story right now was running.
Kaede was seated on a dark blue (in order to camouflage) sky bike, a design once created by Yuki and Herself. They were a sleek as motorcycles except they soared in the air, like something straight from a Sifi movie.
Yuki was beside her riding on something that resembled a skate board, but was made from the same material as Kaede's bike, it looked like a normal skateboard, except for the fact that it was flying and it was nearly impossible to fall off.
Jinsei was trailing behind Kaede on his Sky bike and Kin behind Yuki on his Hover board.
"Kaede how we doing??" Yuki yelled over the wind, which form this high up was quite loud.
Kaede adjusted the glasses fitting around her eyes. It was something that back when Leon and his gang were young had invented. The glasses read light and darkness positions, so if there was a sudden spark of light on the screen of those glasses Kaede could tell they were approaching a door. And a door was what they needed.
"Fine, but we might need to go faster." Kaede smiled back at everyone.
Yuki grinned, but also felt pain flickering in the back of her mind. She was back to the old life style, their old life style. The one she had shared with these people before the Society and before the Islands of Serenity and Team destiny. It was life on the run.
She also hated leaving Akako, Chiho, and the others with the Society. But it was the only way. They were meant to be in the society and Kaede and Yuki, and Kin, and Jinsei were not. It was fate, and if Kaede and her had learned one thing it was that,
Fate likes to play.
The sad thing was that they knew that the Society wasn't bad, and neither were they. But they both had different intentions, and Kaede and Yuki knew that Chiho and the others would be as rebellious against the Society as they once were. Maybe someday they would join up again, but right now they couldn't because...
Today was the revival of the Team before Team Destiny.
In one second they were with everyone fighting off heartless and the next they were here.
Here was being absolutely no where.
All Kisho knew right now was very little. He rubbed his viloetish blue eyes and sat up.
All he could see, right now were his three comrades, and the room he was in.
Kisho, himself was slumped against a wall of this nearly vacant room. Not pieces of furniture or exit in sight just the room's starch white walls that if you looked closely almost resembled the palest shade of blue.
Akako, Chiho, and Hiko were all asleep in their own corners. But there were missing the other four, or at least they weren't in sight, and Kisho muttered a curse under his breath.
What had happened?
