A/N: Hello, I do hope you like this chapter and story and will continue reading.
Disclaimer: I do not own No. 6 or its characters only the Shion or Saffron Tribe. In this I only own the Poems mentioned that are a part of Shion's past
Chapter Eleven: Parting
Shion's POV
She said she missed me so much but I scowled at her slightly, I could feel something bad is happening in No. 6. When I heard that Anomalies occurring at the Ceremony Site I knew it was correct. Elyurias asked if my friend was Rat before he got out of my grasp.
He said he has a question for her then asked if she was the one who guided us here. She only smiled before Rat yelled to answer the question.
"Don't Nezumi, you'll hurt yourself like that" I said when he gripped his arm almost collapsing entirely. I grabbed his waist so he wouldn't fall. "I know it's Elyurias Rat, that's why I was laughing earlier" I told him putting my chin on top of his head.
I didn't listen to what they were saying since it was all in the Letter. "Calm down Nezumi, please" I said before he leaned against me.
She asked him if he heard her song making him ask if Safu heard it as well. "Yes she did Rat, she fainted exactly as you did to" I said injecting a Syringe inside of Rat's arm through the fabric of his jacket. He asked me what it was making me smile at him.
"Just a Zinc, Vitamin C, and Protein blend to help your wound heal faster" I said hearing Safu talk about Contemptible Experiments on No. 6 Residents. She said Elyurias is angry making me sigh.
"There are plenty of ways to vent her anger besides killing the few hundred people left on this Earth" I said. "Are you okay now Rat?" I asked him before he nodded. "Then come on" I said before Safu asked where I was going when we turned around.
"Unlike with you Safu, who can live a long time now, we can't. I may be able to heal a fatal wound in six seconds but that isn't the same for Rat" I said looking back at her. "If she wants No. 6 to be no more, destroy the wall" I said before I took a Time Bomb from Rat's pocket.
I threw it behind me after I pressed the start button making it hit the glass column behind her without breaking. "Come on Rat" I said as we walked inside the Elevator.
When we got out I heard an explosion walking around a corner towards the Maintenance Shaft we used to get up. When I heard someone running behind me I turned around just for Rat to block a Bullet from a Mercenary. I picked him up going onto the Infirmary that was right next to us.
"You're an idiot you know that" I said as I searched the Cupboards for what I was looking for. I finally found all of it before I lifted his shirt and jacket to see a gaping hole in his side.
"BLEVE Bullets?! Seriously!" I said frustrated with how much has changed with these Mercenaries. I did my work when I saw Nezumi in pain from the wound. "You've saved me too many times for this to be enough to repay you" I said before I saw his head fall to side.
"Wake up Nezumi! Open your eyes and wake! up!" I said loud enough for him to hear. He opened his Silver eyes making me smile at him.
"See not too hard now keep them open, I won't forgive you if you die on me today" I said as I worked. I was able to close the wound and stitch the Arteries back up but the main problem is Photokeratisis. Which could be caused by the bright Ultraviolet light that I know hit Rat's eyes but not mine.
When I was finished I put Rat on my back and walked out careful not to run into anymore Mercenaries. I put on the Cloak before I told him to hurry and grab my arm when I got into a Garbage Shute.
I reached out my hand seeing him reach for it before I felt an annoying Bullet hit my Left Anterior Descending Artery. Of all the worse things the Bullet could've been it just had to be Coagulation Bullet. I went forward grabbing his arm before I fell taking him with me.
I pulled him to my chest turning us around since for a while I can still move and breathe. I took out a Syringe and injected into his Aorta to help with the healing process.
Time Skip: Thirty Minutes Later Rat's POV
We were in some place but I don't know where. We were surrounded by piles of garbage or rubble when I heard Rikiga crying. I looked up to see Shion with three blood spots on him: one near his heart, one on his waist, and another on his leg.
I walked, or well limped, over to him when I could feel my wounds healing slightly. I remembered Shion injecting me with something but I don't know what it was.
I sat down next to him when I heard Dog Keeper say that she wasn't going to die here. She told Rikiga to go with her before he did. I took off my jacket putting it over his chest.
I started singing Elyurias' song as the rumbling of explosions sounded around us. I saw something sparkling so I grabbed it as I continued singing.
I saw it was the Crystal Shion mentioned so I opened the smaller top to see a Button. I pressed it seeing the Timer on the thing count down from three minutes. I laid down closer to Shion than I probably would've been before.
I saw a light underneath my eyelids so I opened them to see Safu smiling down at Shion and I from behind mine and Shion's head. "Thank you for saving Shion Rat, I'll help both of the people I care about" I heard Elyurias say as she sat down on her knees.
She pulled Shion up against her chest taking me with her so I was doing the same. She started singing petting our hair as she did so. Our wounds healed before she put both of us down on the ground with Shion's head in my lap.
I looked to my left to see a large, glass-like Wasp showing a variety of colors. She dispersed into the air before I heard Shion speak.
"Are you okay Nezumi? You look like you've seen a Ghost" he told me with a bright smile and a soft chuckle making me nod. "Yeah I'm fine, you look worse than I do with those blood splotches" I said making him look down. "Yeah I guess" he told me before he got up.
Scene Change: Outside of the Facility Shion's POV
'I guess this was right then? That means the Mao Forest is still alive as well' I thought when we reached the top of the Crater. "She wanted to show you this" Nezumi said but I shook my head.
"She wanted both of us to see it Rat" I said walking closer to him. "To thank you for saving me and for falling for me as much as you have" I said smiling at the walls that were no longer there. "It's a new beginning isn't it though?" he asked me and I nodded.
I watched the Sun rise before I saw Rat leave out of the corner of my eyes. Before he got too far however I turned around saying his name.
When I saw him turn around to look at me I was about to speak but closed my mouth instead. I looked down seeing my vision blur. I felt a hand on my chin before it was lifted and something soft touched my lips.
"Now what did you want to say?" he asked me before I smiled slightly. "When whatever you're about to do is over can you go to the Mao Forest, the Southern end?" I asked before he asked why.
"It was where I used to live, I have a feeling that after eleven years it's back to how it was. I was thinking that if it is I was going to live there again, with Karan and whoever else wants to" I said before he nodded. "If I can find it and you're there once I return then I would love to" he told me making me smile.
He vanished after that but I know the whole thing wasn't a dream when I still felt his lips on mine. I saw the Black Lab from before seeing she was carrying my Coat in her mouth.
When I took it from her I put it on the ground opening it to see the child from before. I picked her up and put her in my right arm to keep her face away from the blood. "Thank you for keeping her safe" I said before she barked tail wagging happily.
I heard Winter before I saw him on the Lab's head. "So Winter helped to huh?" I asked chuckling slightly.
The baby started cooing so I looked at her with a smile on my lips. I stood up from my kneeling position looking at the Sunrise before I looked at Winter who was on my left shoulder. "Come on Winter, little one, we have to find Karan and Lili" I said hearing Winter squeak and the Dog bark.
