Saya heard the gurgling noise before she saw his blood fall to the ground. She heard a scream comming from somewhere, it was blood curdling, it kept going until she realized it was her. She had collapsed to her knees at the scene that played out in front of her. Tears streaked down her face, when had she started to cry? It all happened so fast, she didnt know what to do, she couldnt get her legs or her body to move at all. Her world was dying before her, and she was helpless.
Haji clenched his teeth together, the pain was excruciating. Then he heard her, he heard Saya's earth shattering scream. It tore at his very soul, only minutes prior was his heart full and happy to the point of bursting, now he could barely feel it beat.
He looked into Solomon's psychotic face, he was wild with anger, Hani had slouched into Solomon's bladed hand. As Haji peered up to the light colored chevalier, he saw his face was dead set onto Saya. This man neither heard not cared about Saya's state of distress, all he cared about was what she could do for him. It enraged her peotector, the soul crushing souds comming from Saya only drove him to escape and prevail harder.
Saya couldnt see Haji move he was so still, it scared her so much. She began to weep, this was unlike when Riku had recently left her. Without Haji she had lost the only person to know who she really was, she was losing apart of herself. Realizing this and letting it creep into her heart she withered within herself, she hugged her arms to her chest and pulled her legs over them and laid upon the cold sand.
Solomon was to engulfed in the victory he assumed he had acheived. He didnt notice Haji had changed his demeanor. He only saw Saya cabe in on herself and thought that the rest of his self imposed mission would be easy. With her no longer fighting against him, she would have no will to live, now he could easliy mate her and then rebuild her if he could, but ultimatly he would get what he wanted, an obediant and compliant mate to do Divas bidding and bend to his wishes. It pleased him so much he began to laugh maniacally.
Hani took his oppurtunity, he didnt see Saya had stopped fightingphgp, he didnt see the shell she had become in that instance. What he did do was move swiftly and stood firm and slash off the chevalier's arm. It was a defensive move more then anything, their limbs would grow back. But it got the job done. Solomon looked at the wild man in front of him even wounded he posed a serious threat, even more so now that he had only one arm. Haji had wide, livid eyes, his torso even with a gaping hole in the middle starined at the excersion of his muscles. But his eyes those were the eyes of a man about to horrifically murder someone, or painfully torture someone as slow as possible. a breath of fear skated up Solomons back, something he hasnt felt in ages, which only furthur enhances the sensation. He took Haji's brief pause and escaped with the life he had, vowing to return another time.
The injured Haji landed hard on his knees against the sand. His stregth was fading fast, all he needed was rest, but he would need much of it. Comming to the conclusion all was safe for the moment he realized he no longer heard anything, all he could hear was waves against the beach and early morning seaguls screeching at the wind. It hit him then that was all he heard, he didnt hear her cries or screams he couldnt even hear her breathing, thats what scared him the most.
Haji made a quick jerking turn to look behind him causing more of his blood to spill and pain to shoot through him. He reached to cover the hole in his gut. ut it was no use the gush would have to stop on its own. Haji crawled to the crumpled lump on the sand that was his queen,he was moving as fast as his torn body would allow, even pushing past its current limits as his vision began to tunnel around the edges. She had to be safe, she had to be okay, he said it like a prayer in his mind willing for it to be true. When he still couldnt hear anything as he got closer, he began to pray, he prayed to whatever would listen to make her okay. Haji had long ago thought his ability to cry was gone, but as he continued to make slow treks to Saya they fell freely from his eyes.
'Finally, he reached her only stopping to fully collapse next to her. Haji waited with abbated breath to see if her chest would move, or hear her breath. Then it happened, it was shallow and barely there, but there none the less. She was breathing as though she was sleeping, shallow and slow. Haji was just thankful, he passed out next to her, his body was spent.
Saya saw only black, nothing but black, she began to take stock in what herself and her surroundings. She had Haji's shirt on, she stuck her nose in the collar, yes that still smelled of Haji, that timeless scent of night in the summer and something se she could never place but it sent electricty through her body. She felt her neck because it was tender, there was a mark there she had no idea why though, her sword was no where in sight, so that set her a little on edge, but she didnt feel unsafe wherever she was, so she continued on her way aimlessly walking. She had no sense of direction she didnt have a clue as to why she was there wherever there was. Saya tried so hard to remember what bad happened, all she could remember was the ship blowing up, and then Haji getting them into a row boat. That was it, she can feel there was something more, she just didnt know what. It infuriated her to no end.
Thats when out of no where everything went to grey, not quite as impressive and Hanis steely grey eyes but close. She heard waves crashing on land and gulls screeching over her. Something kept nagging at the back of her head, she was missing some bit of informstion, she could feel it was earth shattering.
Why was she wearing Haji's shirt again? What happened to her clothes? Thats when it all hit her like a freight train she relived all of it from start to finish, she had passed out, she had no idea if it was from over exertion or the trauma of seeing Haji die.
Saya had to get back somehow to her conciousness. Solomon could be whisking her away right now and leaving Haji to rot on the isle. She didnt dare allow her heart to be hopeful he survived. Saya was fighting because she had to save herself now. She still had a job to do, she still had to kill diva. She would mourn the only love she would ever have later.
A/N: It was really hard to stop writing right here. Reveiw and all that.
