Hey guys! Sorry this took a bit, but I had a little trouble throwing romance, humor, action and drama all into one. So here's the result!
Hawkpath: lol you perv! I can just imagine Six's reaction to a statement like that XD XD
Lol, Enjoy!
"Callan, get Rex back to the ship!" Agent Six shouted over the chaos of a battle that he was in the middle of. "Rex, stay right where you are! Don't move!" he ordered turning to the boy on the complete opposite end of the field. He managed to catch a glimpse of Rex nodding in a rather frightened manner before the EVO Six was fighting, swiped a claw out at him.
Damn EVOs showed up out of nowhere! And right in front of The Keep too, so now, not only was Six and Callan in danger, but so was Holiday and Rex(who had broken out of the ship in his boredom and lead the good doctor on a chase after him.) And now here Six was, just as battle worn comrade, Captain Callan, who was doing his best to reach the ten year old boy caught in the middle of battle. He wasn't as worried about Holiday(he knew full well that a few EVOs were nothing to her;she was more than capable of taking them out) as he was about Rex. Not only was Rex on the complete other side of the field, but if the kid tried any of his heroism garbage he could put them in some serious trouble.
Six inwardly groaned, as he saw one of the EVOs shoot a tentacle in Callan's direction and knock him clean off his feet. "Holiday!" he growled in the direction of the doctor.
Holiday blasted away the tentacle with one of her guns and turned to Six. "What?" she shouted, sounding rather irritated. She was after all trying not to get eaten by the blasted EVO that took Callan out and trying to guard the man's body at the same time. And suddenly a cold, sharp stinging feeling came up inside of Six that he couldn't exactly place, as he briefly wondered why Holiday was fighting with Callan instead of him to begin with. But he shook it off as the main issue came back to him.
"Get Rex" Six ordered.
"But-"
"I'll handle Callan, just get Rex!" Six replied, dodging the sharp claws of the EVO before him.
Holiday sighed and blasted one more tentacle before making a break for Rex. She crossed the field in a record 6 or seven seconds, blowing away anything that tried to mess with her on the way. While she did that, Six made his way over to Callan (whose unconscious form was about this close to getting devoured) keeping an eye on her as well as fighting off the EVOs.
And for the most part it looked like things were going to be alright. Holiday was going to get Rex, and they could make a safe retreat (because whereas Six wasn't the one to usually run from a problem, this was different, they were quite miserably outnumbered.) But suddenly, as Six looked behind the EVO in front of him, to Holiday, he saw her quickly embrace Rex and say something to him, unaware of the creature coming up behind her.
"Holiday!" Six yelled just as the beast took a swing for her. Thankfully, Holiday reacted immediately to the sound of his voice and turned. And upon seeing enormous EVO claws flying towards her, decided to release Rex and move. Unfortunately though, not fast enough.
The EVO's claws missed stabbing her through the chest, but did manage to tear across Holiday's leg. Her attempt to grab Rex and run was faltered as her leg became for the most part useless. She stumbled over and her hands immediately went to her profusely bleeding leg.
"Hey! You can't do that to my doctor!" Rex shouted from where he stood a few inches behind Holiday. But before he could even completely activate his nanties to form something, he EVO took a shot at him and sent him soaring back.
"No, Rex!" Holiday cried, looking back at the boy who was now unconcious on the ground, several feet away. Very quickly, she thanked the gods that the only visible wound(which was a small swipe on the shoulder) on him didn't seem nearly as bad as hers. And if anything it was the impact that knocked him out, not the wound itself. And when she looked back ahead of herself, she saw the demented looking EVO hovering over her, ready to strike once again. This time, her hands went to the gun holsters on either side of her waist, but much to her dismay, they were empty. She quickly looked around and saw that as she had fallen, her guns had been scattered farther than she could reach.
Shit.
That was about the only thought that ran through her head before the EVO brought it's claws down for its attack. She simply closed her eyes and just waited for it to come, vaugely wondering how she was taking this so easy. And that had to be about her last thought before the EVO let out a threatening hiss and swung towards her. But instead of feeling the excruciating pain she had expected to feel as she was dying, she felt warmth all around her. She felt the wind blowing around her and in her hair. But more than anything else, she felt a strong, powerful and yet somehow at the same time, comforting and protective grip around her. And upon opeing her eyes, found herself in the arms of Six(she had to take a minute to think if she was having one of those "knight in shining armor-whoops, my bad, I mean ninja in green suit" dreams again.)
She also found that they were soaring through the air and Six was bringing one of his katanas back into his sleeve. Six must have grabbed her at the last second and then dealt with the EVO. And then decind to carry her to safety(hey, a doctor can dream...) But what about Rex? Holiday suddenly felt very frightened, both for herself and for Rex. And in her fear, she put her arms around Six's back and held onto him tighter in an effort to gain some comfort.
Little did she know that Six completely misinterpreted this gesture as that of affection. And as unlikely as it was for Six, he instantly froze up. Yes, Agent Six froze up at the first sign of affection from his partner. But she didn't need to know that. All she needed to know was that something or other happened, preferably, one of his injuries acted up causing them to go from a smooth glide to a crash landing, in which, surprisingly, he managed to keep his hold on her.
Six opened his eyes (not remembering closing them,) and found himself looking up at Holiday's frightened face-and felt his entire body tense as he realized the only reason he was looking up at her was because she was on top of him. She was literally lying on top of him.
And suddenly, every little detail of the situation felt like a big deal to him; his arm still around her back, her hands on his chest(possibly from impact and trying not to crash on top of him completely), the two of them being the only conscious organisms for miles-that anything could possibly happen between them and no one else would ever know.
Six refocused on the image of the doctor before him and found her much closer than he rmembered two seconds ago. As a matter of fact, she could feel her deep breaths on his...on his lips.
Needless to say Six was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the entire situation, and yet at the same time...he was perfectly fine with it.
And he found, that it didn't feel nearly as wrong as he thought it would, to lean up a bit himself...until their lips were ever so gently brushing against one another...And just when they were about to really seal the deal-
"Six!" the squeeky ten year old voice of Rex pierced the air. Holiday practically threw herself off the agent, stood up and began casually walking away as though absolutely nothing important was happening prior to Rex's interference. Taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself and trying to get that damn blush off her face.
"Six, Six, Six!" Rex shouted running over to Six, who still lay on the ground...frozen. He vaguely heard the words Rex was yelling-something along the lines of "Oh my god you're alive, woah that EVO lookind like it was gonna eat us I mean did you see those claws and those teeth and..."
All Six could think about was that..that...did that count as a kiss? He didn't even know. He didn't know anything at the moment. And damn it, what was with the heat in his face!
"Hey Six?" Rex drawled, his face govering over Six's. "You look kinda dead. You ok?"
"Jesus Christ...I'm fine..." He grumled sitting up and dragging a palm across his face tiredly(a blatant effort to make his own blush disapear.) He stood up and flinched as he pulled a wound on his leg. And to make things worse, the next thing he saw upon looking up was Holiday, bent over Callan's body, checking him out-er up...checking him up...
Six shook his head as he headed towards The Keep.
He needed a cup of coffee. And an Advil.
And definitely a bucket of cold water.
This chapter was inspired by Lexii-Chan who gave me the brilliant idea of: Holiday and Six become closer or have some fluffy moment. That lil Rex interrupts.
So I hope that came out alright =]
On a side note, I was looking at the reviews for this story, and I'm so incredibly happy with it really. You guys rock, love you all. But I noticed that I was only three reviews short of getting ten per chapter. And ten per chapter, for me, is a lot. I mean I'm not asking for reviews, or demanding them, because myself personally, I hate it when people do that to me while I'm reading a story so I won't do it to you.
And it's not even that reviews make the story look good or anything, I don't take it like that. What you guys have to say actually has value to me. It's just that it really inspires me to write when I hear what my readers have to say, what they want to see or what they liked or disliked. That's why I make the effort to reply to every review or message I get =] So if there's three people, two, or even one that has an alert on this and doesn't review, if you could find it in your heart to leave me one little comment every few chapters or so I'd really love that =]
Thanks again guys =] Please review! =]
