Yay! Second chapter is finally up! That took longer than I hoped, but I got writers block! Please fogive me! Oh, and I don't own plus anima.

Chapter 2

"Hey you! Stop!" It was an Astarian soldier. They were surrounded in seconds.

We're gonna die here. There's no place that we can run to, Cooro thought.

"You're coming with us," another soldier said.

"No they're not!" a girl's voice said.

"Nana!" Husky and Cooro said together. Senri grabbed the two boys while Nana distracted them and used her ultrasonic screech. Cooro got nervous and buried his face in Husky's shirt. Husky held him close and caressed his back to sooth him.

Nana walked over to them. "What are you two doing?" she asked.

"Nothing, he just got nervous," Husky told the girl, not loosening his hold on the boy in his arms.

"Then why are you holding him so tight?" she asked suspiciously.

"Um, well," Husky started, unsure of what to say.

"Husky was just protecting me," Cooro said lifting his head from Husky's chest. "He was making sure that the soldiers couldn't take me away. And if they did, Husky would have to come with."

"Oh," Nana said finally understanding, "that makes sense." She paused for a moment, then said, "Wait, I heard something." She was still in her plus anima form. "I think they're coming back! And this time they brought reinforcements!"

There were five groups and five Astarian soldiers in each group. That made 25 soldiers coming capture them. Cooro trembled in Husky's arms, his wings wrapped around them as a protective shield. The soldiers held Nana down and kept Senri back. They attempted to pry Cooro off Husky but the boys held onto each other for dear life. "No!" Husky shouted. "You're not taking him without me!"

"Take the other boy with then," the commander said. "He can't do much anyway. Let's head out, men!" While Senri and Nana were distracted, the commander and two other soldiers took Cooro and Husky away.

BREAK

Cooro and Husky were tied up, each sitting on the back of a horse behind an Astarian soldier. Cooro spoke up. "Hey mister soldier, where are you taking us?" The soldier stayed silent.

"Cooro," Husky whispered, "don't talk to them. You never know what they'll do." He was riding on the back of a grey dappled horse. The horse whinnied as if it was agreeing with him.

"Hey!" the Commander shouted. "No talking! And if you really want to know where you're going, you're headed to Astaria's capital."

Not really have listened to Husky's advice, Cooro asked, "Why are we going there? Are there other plus anima there?"

"That information will not be released until you get to Astaria."

BREAK

"This is it," one of the soldiers said. "Now get going!" he said shoving Cooro and Husky forward. He led them to a strange chamber. It was fairly large and actually seemed cozy. It had two, comfy-looking chairs, bunk beds, a table and chairs, and a closet. The only things were that it had a cement floor, brick walls and barred windows. "This will be your new home," the soldier said unlocking their handcuffs. "Your meals come at 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. The lights go out at 9:00."

"Wow!" Cooro said. "This is really nice for a holding chamber!"

The guard left mumbling. "Cooro," Husky said, "this isn't a time for fun and games! This is a serious thing! We could be used for tests and experiments!" he sighed. "I don't want them to hurt you."

Cooro smiled gently. "I know Husky. I don't want them to hurt you either." He frowned. "But what can we do?"

Husky walked over to Cooro and hugged him. "I know it's hard, but we'll find a way out of this. For now let's relax." Cooro smiled and walked over to the bed. He lay down and Husky followed. He lay down next to Cooro and the other boy cuddled up to him. Husky laid an arm across Cooro's torso and Cooro turned to face him. Husky leaned down and kissed Cooro's forehead.

BREAK

They both woke to the sound of someone yelling and banning on the medal door. Cooro clutched Husky's shirt, burying his face in Husky's chest and Husky tightened his hold on the boy. When the yelling and knocking ceased Cooro looked up. "Is he gone?" Cooro asked nervously.

"Yes, I think so," Husky replied. Cooro seemed to calm down after hearing this until the door broke down. He squeaked. Then Husky said, "Nana? Senri? What are you doing here?"

Cooro's head shot up. "Nana! Senri!"

In answer to Husky's question, she said, "We followed you here. We couldn't just leave you. You wouldn't believe how many guards we had to get through." Senri nodded in agreement.

"Thanks guys," Cooro said. "I knew we could count on you!"

Husky smiled a little. "No offence, but I wasn't so sure. These people were pretty prepared. I wouldn't have been surprised if you got caught too. I'm sorry I doubted you."

"It's okay," Nana said. "I don't blame you. It was pretty hard to get passed them."

"What are you two doing here?!" It was one of the guards.

"Oh crap!" Husky said. "Nana, Senri, run!"

"But what about you?" Nana asked.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine! Go!" Nana took one last look at the two boys then ran.

Yay! I'll post soon! Please review!
