*a small trace of a smile slips across Ikume's face*
((this is all happening in Ikume's head))
*Rouge reaches out and takes Ikume's hands*
Rouge: don't worry, love. It will all be better soon.
*Ikume forces herself to sit up and Rouge unwraps the bandage from her chest*
Rouge: remember...
*he places her hands on her lap and lays his own on her wound*
*the blood from her wound covers his hands in a coat of red and he takes hold of
her hands again*
*with his help she forces herself to her feet*
Rouge: remember...
((back in reality))
*Ikume open's her eyes and sits up in the blink of an eye*
*she looks down at her hands stained with Rouge's bloody handprints*
*she forces them against her chest one over the other and opens her mouth wide
as if to shriek, her whole body trembling violently as a shadow of darkness
envelopes her completely*
*the shadow continues to grow, covering all around her even blocking the 'sight'
of the blind one*
*and then as a shrill cry escapes her lips piercing the air, the shadow fades
and her body falls to the ground having hovered a number of feet into the
air*
*Ikume gasps for breath no longer feeling pain in her chest*
*the bandage falls from her body revealing her no longer pierced chest and the
burns on her arms have completely vanished*
Ikume(almost whispering): thank you... Rouge...
Saiyame almost yelped in surprise when her vision was blocked. It had been
centuries since she was able to see, but never had the auras of others been
invisible to her. She had heard bits and pieces of Ikume's conversation with the
mysterious Rouge, but not enough to make much sense of it.
When Ikume's cry pierced the silent air Saiyame winced and covered her sensitive
ears instinctively. The sound had startled her even more than the momentary loss
of Ikume's aura, and she breathed a deep sigh of relief when the commotion died
down and she was able to feel Ikume's lack of pain.
Damn, that girl's got some lungs on her. If she
ever does that again I'll smoke her. I've never met a siren with a voice that
high pitched.
Anko-kun, now is not the time to be yelling
insults inside my head. I've suddenly developed a massive headache so
shoo!
You did not just tell me to 'shoo' like some
stupid cat or something.
Yes I did, now get! Saiyame shoved
Ankoku away, hoping that this time he would stay out of her head at least until
her headache went away.
Soldier A : they're still not in the condition to fight sir ... unenhanced sword
can hardly pierce through thier metalic skin .... we'll only sacrifice more
elitez if we go there unprepared ....
" i see .... is there anyone here who possessed the ability to do so ?
"
Soldier A : excluding me , there're only 49 out of 500 of our men can perform
this magic sir ...
" then let that be our number of troops that participate in this mission
... you stay here and lead therest to safety ... ? tell those 49 to get themself
prepared in 30 minutes ... me together with Strife will lead this mission ...
"
Amaya: ...... *knows what's happening but doesn't summon any androids or
cyborgs* ...... *sits at the door of the entrance practically waiting for them
to attack and knows they are there* Do what you like..... I don't care.... Never
did.... The people that are in charge of us are somewhere else rigt now... So do
what you like.... I won't fight you..... If you get hurt I'll heal you... So...
Whatever..... *reading a book*
* Mok pops out behind Amaya and gets really dissapointed after hearing what she
said *
" oh man ~ that's out of my plan .... how can he do this to me ... urg ~
"
* walk near a wall and lay on it and keep yawing about it *
" why must he choose being not here now ~ this just ain't fair ~ why now ~
why now-how-how-how ~~ "
Strife : General ... if you mind .... you're talking infront of the enemy
....
* Strife follows up behind Mok *
" nah .. no worries ... the officers ain't around ... so they aren't our
enemy ... still .... blarg ... anyways ... "
* Mok stands up and take a close look to amaya *
" to be honest ... you're as cute as i expected you are ... haven't know
your name yet do i ? .... so ... do you mind .... telling your name to the enemy
general ? "
Strife : ...............
* standing aside .. Strife knock his head to the wall .. unable to believe what
the best general of netherworld and his commander is actually doing ... *
Roland watches all of this with his binoculars mmm to groups are getting ready
to attack each other thats were we need to be common men be ready for a
fight....
.... *closes her book and stands up and looks at mok and strife* My name is...
Well they gave me numbers as my name but my name when I used to be human is
Amaya.... *puts her book on the chair* You're commander mok and that's
strife..... Am I right...? But you are a bit imature to be a commander... A real
commander would have taken a chance to kill me by now..... Well anyway... If you
want to know..... The people in charge of us don't care if we die or not....
Well they do care if I die but they won't mind you don't anything as long as I'm
alive.... You're weird... It's been a while since I spoke to anyone.... don't
need anything... Bye.... *takes her briefcase that high school students use*
Well.... *bows* Oh.. And sorry for scolding you the other time.... Well.... Good
bye commander and sir strife.... *walks to a garden and stands under a tree*
.... *puts down her briefcase and sings with a calming, sweet, beautiful voice*
Yeah, Jasmint, you weren't doing anything in particular...uh, the attacking
demons were defeated by Saiyame and Sheila...then Ikume went and did some weird
screechy thing that could wake the dead, and she's feeling better now. That's
pretty much it. You can comment on that or do whatever you want ^.^
* while Mok and Strife's still discussing the stupid question ... Mok noticed
Amaya's crying , he walks near her and comfort her *
" er ... erm ... now now ... what's going on ? "
* word's still unable to stop her from crying , lack of ideas on how to comfort
a girl ... Mok chose to hug her instead *
" erm ... come on .. don't cry ... no one's gona hurt you now ... i'll wipe
out whoever's going to do so if i must .... i'll be there to protect you ... so
... don't you shed a tear ms.Amaya ... i'm here .... "
If you want more enemies to appear out of nowhere, feel free...I suppose
Saiyame's going to go off to find Amaya and company soon, unless they come to us
o.O Then again, I said there would be a nice big bad guy to fight so I suppose I
should get on with the plot -____-;
I'm not sure what Amaya's group is doing, but I suppose everyone around me is
kinda just wandering. I'll figure something out after Puddl3 posts again ^^
((sorry, I was half waiting for MrsBloomie to post again, half not sure what to
do next))
*Ikume looks around at Kayne, Jasmine and Saiyame's surprised expressions*
Ikume: sorry, for startling you like that.
*bows*
Ikume: thank you for... caring...
*crying* I wish I could die.... But.... No matter how many times I try.... I
can't die.... I hate hearing the same words over and over again... "You're
a monster" "You killed her!" "I wish you were dead!"
"mommy! Why aren't you moving" "I hate you"..... Before I
had ray as my master..... My old master used to take guns away from me cause he
said that... Normal girls won't carry guns.... That means.... I'm not normal....
Even if I'm a weapon... I used to be human.... *smiles a bit but is still
crying* I wonder why humans treats another human badly.... I wonder who I used
to be.... Captain mok.... Do you hate me like everyone else..? It's okay to say
you do..... I'm really used to listening to the words.... I don't mind.... Do
I..? You know.... You're warm.... Like someone I used to know.... When I touch
the people I killed.... They feel so cold.... Maybe cause I ruined their
life..... You must have lots of friends..... But you don't have to be so nice to
me.... I'm just... A thing.... Nothing like a human.... I'll never be like a
human again.... I never wanted to work for them.... But if I don't work for
them... They'll force all the cyborgs to replace me.... Then there will be more
cries..... I'm sure the cyborgs and robots are enjoying themselves..... They
have their own families.... They never remember times when they hurt people....
That's good... Isn't it..? They'll be happy..... And they're programmed to have
emotions..... Happiness..... But the people that meet me.... Will only be
sad.... They'll have a horrible life..... You really don't have to care about
me... Then you'll be sad..... No one deserves to have a horrible life.....
Even... Even my master who doesn't treat me so well deserves to be happy....
Everyone always seems happy when I'm sad.... So it's okay for me to be sad
right...?
Saiyame's ear twitched once and her tail flicked back and forth impatiently. She
smiled pleasantly at Ikume and then gazed off into the distance with narrowed
eyes.
Far to the East Saiyame felt a rising power, one that made her shudder. She
could "see" the far off blackness that was the aura of the being who
had started this pointless war in the first place.
You know you're going to have to fight him,
right Saiyame? Ankoku asked gently, lowering his head and becoming
serious for once.
Yes, Saiyame sighed, but at least I won't be facing him alone. I have such
wonderful people by my side right now, so I know that we will be able to handle
whatever that man throws at us.
Psh, wonderful people indeed. That Sheila
character is still on my hit list.
Saiyame smiled, holding back a laugh. Perhaps,
but she is skilled, as are they all. None of us have seen each other's full
power yet, so I'm sure we still have plenty of time to be surprised at each
other before we reach the dark master. If everyone can follow my pace then it
should only take us a few days to arrive at our destination.
You keep saying 'their' and 'our' like they've
already decided to accompany you. You haven't been picking at their thoughts,
have you?
Of course not! I don't do that on purpose
unless I'm up against an unusually difficult opponent. If some of them don't
want to come then they are free to leave. I will discuss the matter with them at
nightfall. It's been a long day, for now we should rest. The sun will be setting
within the hour, and then we can make arrangements for travel.
OOC: So yeah, after Mrs. Bloomie and everyone else has posted again I guess we
can get this show on the real road. If anyone feels the need to make demons,
humans, or whatever kind of enemies pop out of nowhere on the road to Mordor (XD
Or whereever the heck we're going) then feel free! My plan is a few days of
travel (with random complications) and then the bad guy's lair...probably a
fight with some minions...and then we can all go ahead and kill the big boss,
but I suppose he'll be my character since I started the storyline, and I will
try to make it interesting ^____^ Thanks for sticking with me this far!

" how's the status captain .... "
