Kagome had finally managed to sit properly in the drivers seat, and was constantly looking, whether through the back window or the rear-view mirror, to take in the police cruiser that was still pursuing them.
Bee was rather proud, that she wasn't panicking. She had been rather startled and demanded what the hell was going on the first minute or so, but now she was taking it all in with an apprehensive silence. He didn't count the fact that her fingers were digging almost painfully into his seat. He was driving recklessly fast.
He knew his cover was now blown, but the most important thing right now, was Kagome's safety. Along with the other humans. Of course. So he decided to lead the Decepticon away from any sort of population, at high speeds, so he could properly protect Kagome.
Sadly the closest area that he could find, was a dump spot of sorts underneath a highway bridge. If he didn't draw any human attention and could protect his female, then it would do.
He turned sharply, skidding to a stop, so he could properly face the enemy, changing while doing so. He maintained a protective hold on Kagome throughout the entire change and was now held in his free hand. He aimed his other hand, turned blaster, shooting Barricade as soon as he could. He ignored the startled squeaks and gasps Kagome let out throughout the entire process. Sadly.
Another point that upset him, was when he needed to put Kagome down to keep her, not only out of harms reach, but also the Decepticon's. She immediately ran for cover, which was surprising, because he honestly would have thought she'd take off as soon as she could. But instead, she stuck around. While this did please him, it did leave him to wonder as to why.
Every now and then, he'd catch her peeking from her chosen hidden spot of safety, wide eyes taking everything in. Once again, something primal and instinctive in him bubble up inside of him to show her what exactly he was capable of. Show her everything that made him who and what he was, that he was the best, better and perfect for her in all ways. So he did just that.
The sounds of metal screeching against each other with sparks flying, metal crunching, glass breaking, his blaster going off or their heavy feet hitting the ground echoed around them. But above all that, he could still pick up the beat of Kagome's heart rate, when her own feet scuffed the ground beneath them, or any startled sounds that escaped her.
Soon enough, he came out victorious, standing above the fallen enemy. After a few tense moments, making sure Barricade wouldn't be getting back up, Bee turned towards the spot Kagome had hidden herself. It took a few more moments before she revealed herself and stepped out into the open. She kept a wary gaze on the fallen Decepticon and walked as far away from it, instead she moved towards him.
Her eyes flew up to him, curious blues taking in his form for the first time. Unbidden, pleased clicks and chirps escaped him, causing her to tilt her head to the side. While she was truly taking him in, he was also taking in her own form, making sure she was unharmed. While he was upset to see a few scrapes and bruises, she was otherwise unharmed. She was slightly disheveled, and if the situation were any other, he would greatly appreciate her current appearance.
He allowed her to collect herself, knowing she would be asking him questions, and when she was done with her inspection of him, that was when he finally spoke.
"Who... what are you?"
"Bumblebee... heavenly beings... from beyond the stars."
Her brows furrowed slightly as he used the radio to answer her questions. He'd have to get Ratchet to see if the other bot could fix his vocal processor. He really wanted to be able to use his own voice to talk with her.
"Bumblebee? That's your name? And you're from... outer space?"
She took a few steps closer towards him when he nodded his head, lifting a hand as if to touch him. He secretly hoped she would, but he wouldn't push her, seeing as she was a little unsure of herself and retracted her hand and looked back up to his face.
"Why are you here?"
"Guard and protect... the boy... who holds the key... to our salvation."
"Boy? Key?"
"Samuel... James... Witwicky... the glasses... map out the location... a piece of our history... our technology... is hidden."
She blinked rapidly, obviously taking what he just said in. He watched every change in her facial expression, still at awe at how expressive humans could get. At the moment, she was furrowing her brows and taking in Barricade's fallen form.
"Are there others? Like yourself and... him?" she waved a hand in the Decepticon's form briskly.
"That's affirmative! Need to call the captain... bring the... angels to reign down from the heavens! The enemy is making haste... to reach the treasure first."
"My car's an alien and Sam holds a key to the location of alien technology. Yup, pretty standard high school life..." her voice lowered to a point where she was muttering under her breath, mixing Japanese in as well.
She went back to where she had been hiding, her muttering continuing and reached down to grab something. It was then he realized, that she had been clutching to her bag the entire time. She slung it over her shoulders and started making her back towards him.
"Well, let's go get those glasses then. I only hope that Sam hasn't managed to sell them yet..." she shook her head and then smiled up at him
It was then, in that moment, that she was truly looking up at him and directing that smile of hers at him, not her car but him. Once again he came to the conclusion, that she was his. So, nodding his head, he shifted back into his alt mode, his engine purring as she made her way to the drivers seat and got in.
She was once again surprising him, in the best of ways mind you, because he had honestly thought she would have went for the passenger side after learning he was in fact alive.
"So... you were meant to protect Sam huh. Why stick with me then?"
He answered with a few clicks and chirps, before using his radio, taking in her grin as she took in his answer.
"Strange energies? And opposites attract? I'm not sure I understand, but okay. Can you contact your... friends while we're on our way to Sam's?"
When he confirmed her question, her grin grew. He was more than happy that she was not at all upset with the truth. He knew she was special, which made him all the more happy that she was his.
AN: What a way to finish up my back log, eh? Yeah, you read that right, this was the last one of my written up chapters for Unexpected. And I'm stuck with two ideas. Either continue to post Daddy Dearest chapters and then post the missing chapters of Unexpected to catch up all at once, or pause Daddy Dearest until I have a back log for unexpected as well. I'm not too sure, and I'm about to get even more busier since I'll be applying for a job next week. :| Other than that; read, enjoy, and review!
