FHIoH~Ch.7

(In the last chapter, Nagi and Raven go off for Raven‘s first mission, which is to annihilate one of the Weiss members. It seems that his target knows Raven somehow, and thus confuses him even though Nagi has warned him about the target‘s ability to manipulate people‘s minds. Then Raven has a dream of being in a park full of people that‘s he‘s constantly seeing in his other dreams. One of them holds up a gun, in tears as he wakes Raven up from his dream with a gunshot. Who were the people in his dreams? And is their target really finished?)

Chapter 7: Betrayal

Yohji’s POV
I was lying on the ground, covered in blood. But was thankful it was only my shoulder that was shot and not anywhere more vital. It still stung like hell, but it’s not like it’s the first time.
How could that guy do something like that? And why the hell was Nagi there? I didn’t know... All I knew was that Ken was kneeling next to me, trying to stop the bleeding and yelling about something.
I wanted to say something but my voice was trapped in my throat. All I could do was lie on the ground, helpless, and not say a damn thing.
I felt too lazy... too lethargic and in pain to do much of anything. So, instead of just simply lying on the ground doing nothing, I might as well take a little snooze and just wake up from this nightmare. A nightmare consisting of our friend betraying us...

“Yohji-kun...” There was my name.
“Yohji-kun...” Again there it went.
It was all echoing in my mind...I knew it. But I felt much too comfortable on whatever I was lying on. I felt at peace and I felt like I was floating on a cloud up in heaven. So peaceful and quiet...
“YOHJI-KUN!!”
That was all it took to get me to jump out of my dream and back into real life. I jerked my eyes open, finding myself in my room and Nora at my side, a pissed off look upon her face. It was then I noticed that my right hand was holding onto something...so soft...tender...and round.
I didn’t want to let go. My brain wasn’t functioning properly. My eyes were still a bit hazed from sleep.
“Get your bloody hand off my breast, pervert!!” That was followed by a backslap. Ouch-fucking-damn, did that hurt.
I felt the redness in my cheek and pulled my right hand up to rub the pain away. “Jesus Christ, woman. I’m sorry. You know I don’t function normally in the mornings.” I said, my voice a little raspy. I noticed she was holding a roll of bloodied bandages.
Funny, I had a dream last night that consisted of me getting sho-... Out of pure stupidity I went up and placed a hand on my non-dominant shoulder, screeching in pain as I noticed that I grabbed at it a little too tight. Okay, so it wasn’t a dream.
“Damn, what the hell happened to you last night, Yohji-kun? Ran and I were trying to get in contact with you cause Ken was missing.” She said as she tossed the dirty bandages, flicking away a lock of auburn hair only after doing so.
“I took Ken out clubbing as a belated birthday gift from me. I had promised him a trip way back when.”
“You could have at least been a decent bastard and told us about it. Got us all worried sick and Ken‘s got the hangover of a lifetime, thanks to you.”
Perfect, her lover entered the room, looking like he wants to wring someone’s neck.
“Yohji... Tell us what happened last night. All I managed to get out of Ken was that you two went clubbing and then he found you half-dead on the ground, or so he thought.” Aya said in his infamous stoic tone of voice.
“There was a guy that Ken ended up flirting with at the bar, dead drunk, and the kid looked too much like Naru. So, I decided to check him out and get Ken off the guy’s ass. I did and it was. He refused to admit that he may be Naru and ran off with Nagi, who was also there for some reason or another. I followed them to the bathrooms and Naru shot me. That‘s all that I can remember,” I confessed.
I could imagine crickets chirping as he absorbed the information in silence.
“So... Schwartz’s got Naru... Time to get the kid back.. You are to stay here and get your ass healed up. No need to pull any stupid stunts like that again,” was all that he said before exited after Nora.

Omi’s POV
Schwartz has got a hold of Naru... What am I going to do now? I’m lost without her...
I lost Ouka... I lost my brother... I’m not losing another person that I care about to Schwartz again.
My fist clenched as the thought of Schwartz came to my mind. I was prepared in my usual assassin gear, crossbow at one side and darts on my other side.
I looked up when Aya came down the spiral steps to find me. “You ready, Omi?”
I nodded. “Let’s get Naru back.”

I’ve got to thank Naru one of these days for this. She managed to pull up a map of possible locations that Schwartz may be hiding at currently. The four of us were to split up and check out each of the locations and pass the coordinates to the others once it’s been found. Once together, we take them out by force to get Naru back.
I love Naru. She was the only other person that actually understood my childhood and how rough the times were when I was young. Abuse, near rape... She understood cause she went through the same thing.
I stood on top a roof, looking down upon the apartments I was to check out. I pulled out my binoculars and crouched down, scanning each room to find anything out of the ordinary... Anything that might remind me of Schwartz. I had my crossbow ready. Backup arrows, darts, and everything I had.
I am ready to take out the beasts of tomorrow.
