Acacia: OK, yeah, another short chapter. Sorry it took so long. I keep gettin sidetracked.
Roxas: But hey, school's out.
Acacia: Yep! More Time for writin!
Ven's POV
The day at the store was pretty slow, and Hazel's late. It's her grandmother's shop and she's the one who's late. I took a look around. This place has some pretty neat stuff. From spiritual stones to incense to samurai swords, they even have a paper fan that's taller than me here!
"The order hasn't come in yet?" I jumped. Hazel laughed, "Sorry I'm late."
"No."
"Kay."
She took the cash register next to me. "Has anyone come in yet?"
"Just one."
"Yeah. Guess so. Heads up, business usually speeds up here after three."
"Why?"
"Cause most of the people who come here are around our age, and the school nearest to here doesn't let out til then." A truck drove up. "That must be the delivery." She left to get the packages. I looked up at the clock. Three more hours, what to do til then? I yawned.
Hazel came back in with a box. "Come on, let's get these shelved."
"Kay." I picked up one of the box's contents. It was a simple knife with a white hilt.
"These all go over there, and think Grandma over ordered these."
The shelving went by too quickly, leaving us with two hours to spare. I drummed my fingers on the counter top. Man this is lame.
Namine's POV
Roxas held me in a tight embrace, his lips going up and down my neck. I ran my fingers through his hair. Everything felt perfect. He moved up, kissing the areas around my lips. Oh, just get to my lips already. Seeming to hear my thoughts, he obeyed. My hands moved from his hair to clawing at his jacket's zipper.
The blankets on his bed surrounded me. He went back to my neck. His hand reached behind my head and removed the large clip. We both stopped when we heard the door close downstairs.
I grabbed my clip and started putting my hair back up while Roxas remade his bed. I could hear the footsteps coming up the stairs. Roxas froze. "What?" I whispered.
"That doesn't sound like Ven. They're too heavy."
Something rolled under the door. "This can't be happening." I said as I pulled Roxas toward the window.
"What is that thing?" He asked as I opened the window.
"Some kind of gas bomb." I started to climb out with him behind me.
The drop to the ground wasn't as bad as it looked, but Roxas stumbled a bit. What's going on? The house was surrounded by white vans, and people staring intently at the house.
Roxas started pulling me towards the neighbor's corn field. Something went over my head. I couldn't see, I could feel the strength fading from me, and I heard a protest from Roxas.
Ven's POV
The last person left and the shop was empty and boring, again. Hazel was braiding and unbraiding her hair. I was watching the street. A white van drove up and four people stepped out. They were dressed in what reminded me of the slayer uniforms. This can't be good. I nudged Hazel and casually pointed in their direction. She nodded.
The bell above the door rang as they entered. Two fully grown men, one fully grown woman, and a thirteen year old girl with overgrown bangs to the side of her face. One of the men had a crucifix around his neck. They were all tan enough to where I would guess they're from southern California.
"How can we help you?" I said sarcastically.
"I've always hated these shops." The man with the cross said.
"Or are ya just scared since y'all on our leadman's turf?" Hazel played, her chin resting on her hands.
"Y'all's a long way from home." I added.
The girl chuckled, "Yeah, we're a long way from home, but we're not lost. We know what we're doing." With that, they drew their weapons and came at us.
I jumped onto the counter, summoning my keyblade and jumped at them. Hazel took the remaining samurai sword and joined in. I ended up having to pull out the small pistol from my boot in order to fend off both the man with the cross and the woman. Hazel had managed to grab one of the knives while keeping the girl busy, she knocked the man out with one of the hilts.
There was a long gash going down my arm. I shot the gun and the lady fell to ground. Good, now I just have to take care of this guy. I dodged his sword and swung. He suddenly tensed up, then passed out, Hazel standing behind him.
My eyes went straight to the girl. "She's not-"
"No, she'll live. But she'll have that scar forever, and she won't be able to see through that eye again."
We left the store and sauntered over to their van. Hazel picked the lock in the back. I opened the door. Inside were two full body bags, two more were empty. Inside the two body bags were Roxas and Namine.
We zipped them back up and carried them over to my jeep. I started the car while Hazel made them look like two tired teens. She took her place in the passenger's seat, and I went North, towards HQ.
Unkown POV (last time)
"We get so close, then they just say to abort!"
"Yeah, but who were those guys?"
"I don't know, but orders are orders."
Roxas: How come this chapter's told mostly from Ven's POV?
Acacia: It just came like that. I keep forgetting the to say this but even though it says that it's a Namas, it's also a VenxOC and kinda a Sokai.
Roxas: R and R please!
