Chapter 17: Beep Beep Suckers

Normal pov

Michael groaned, his back ached, a weight pressed down on his chest making it hard to breath. The smell of smoke filled his nose making his eyes water as it burnt away at the nerves. His ears rung and his vision was double. He stayed in the uncomfortable position for a while until he regained only a handful of his senses. Lifting his head just enough to see a swarm of messy brown hair. Not remembering what happened for a moment, his mind still groggy, it finally came to him, and boy did it feel like a slap.

"TOHRU?"

When no reply came from the brunette he panicked. His arms wrapped around her waist bringing her up to his chest, cradling her in the most comforting way he could for the moment, so he was able to see if there was any damage. Inspecting her as close as he could, squinting to try to see closely with his fuzzy eyes, he made out a large piece of debery lodged in her upper shoulder, the cloth that was on her back burnt to a crisp when it had guarded her delicate skin from the licking flames.

"Oh god Tohru... I'm sorry for what I'm about to do!"

Latching on to the piece of shrapnel, he wrenched it out with one pull, Tohrus eyes flashed open, chest heaving , an agonising scream slipped from her lips, her arms and legs flailing, before going limp back into Michaels arms.

'Shit! No!'

Throwing the metal away behind him not caring here it landed, he gripped her shoulders and quickly as he could and placed his ear above her heart.

"Thank goodness... you're alive..."

Staring at her face as the fire illuminated all the contours and made it even more beautiful to him than it was before, even if it was covered in ash and small grazes, he didn't care. His hand reached out and brushed a piece of hair out of her closed eyes, then rested gently on her cheek.

"You really are amazing my angel"

Slowly leaning down he placed a tender kiss on Tohru's forehead.

"FIND THEM!"

Michaels head shot up, the angry voice of his old boss bouncing off the ruins, along with the voices around 10 men.

'He... survived?!'

Taking Tohru up in his arms, he staggered away towards the main gate.

After nearly tripping a few times and dropping Tohru the other 6 or so, he had finally made it to the section where the cars were kept.

Gently laying Tohru down on the nicest looking piece of ground he could, the walking up to a big 4x4 Jeep. Checking to see whether if it was open, luckily it was because the next thing he heard sent chills down his spine.

"THEIR HERE! THEY'RE GOING FOR THE CARS!"

Swinging the passenger door open as quick as he could, he ran and lifted Tohru as fast, and as gently as he could, making her grunt.

Seating her in the passenger seat and slamming the door all in within 3 seconds, he leaped over the car bonnet and into the driver's seat. However...

"Where the bloody hell are the keys?!"

Looking up he saw 4 men running towards them, pistols in their hand pointed straight at them.

"SHIT!"

Grabbing Tohru's head he shoved her into the brace position with him just as the bullets came through the windshield.

*BANG/SMASH* *BANG/SMASH*

"I DONT HAVE FUCKING TIME FOR THIS!" Michael bellowed as he sat up and kicked the bottom panel under the steering wheel with all his strength managing to break it off.

Using it to smash the holey windshield so he could see their pursuers. They weren't far now, and they were reloading. He didn't have time to waste.

Ducking down to the broken panel he ripped out two wires. Using his pocket knife, cutting the wires before touching them back together.

Sparks flew before the engine came roaring to life.

"It's Alive!"

*BANG* *BANG*

"Here we go!"

Shoving the car into gear he slammed down on the accelerator and out of the direction of the bullets and towards the gates.

"CLOSE THE GATES!" one of the guards that we shooting at them yelled towards another group of 3 not far in front.

Quickly shifting the car into 5th gear the blonde used his spare hand to get the seat belt around Tohru without taking his eyes off the gate, which was slowly closing.

"This might hurt," he whispers towards his unconscious angel.

10 meters, bullets flying.

5 meters, people screaming.

1 meter, acceleration to the max.

*CRASHHH/CLANGGG*

Unable to handle the newly acquired momentum from the jeep, the gates flew off their hinges, scraping along the tarmac in opposite directions, screeching as they went.

The shouts and yells of guards slowly quietened as Michael drive furth0er off towards the2 motor way.

After about 30 minutes of extreme driving in all directions to try to get pursuers off their trail, they were finally free cruising down a country road towards the nearest train station.

Checking over his shoulder Michael watched Tohru sleep gently, he had bandaged her mid section and up around her shoulder, during a stop while the enemy passed, to stop the bleeding. It seemed to work since her face did not display any discomfort or pain.

Slowly his free hand reached over and tucked a stray strand of her brown hair behind her ear, and left it there lingering appreciating her soft pale skin.

Tohru groaned slightly nudging his hand gently, making a small smile appear at the sheer cuteness.

Before going back to concentrating on the road ahead.

Until Tohru began to awaken, and one word slipped her off her tongue, causing his heart to stop for a mere second and his mind dissert all hope, he couldn't suppress the frown the name brought along.

"Kyo..." Tohru whispered her eyes flickering.

However the next 3 words stopped not only him but time itself.

"Who are you?"
