Part 34 : Shocked

"Kaze here?!" Amaya shouted as the four of them ran towards the building. "Are you very sure?!"

"That's what the rest of them said when we saw him!" the boy yelled back.
"We saw him walk into one of the rooms. Razen said that was a windowless room."

Crap! Of all places to appear here!! Amaya thought.

They took a turn in the block with Amaya leading the way. It seemed like a very quiet building. Amaya and the three boys joined the other group. They took every step very quietly and carefully. The room was located at the end of the main corridor. Between this corridor rows of other smaller corridors stretched through it.

As they were passing the last cross-corridor, suddenly someone grabbed Amaya.

"AMAYA!!!" Kazuki shouted as all of them ran into that corridor.

A teenage boy around their age with a masked face and dark coloured clothing had a katana on his right arm around Amaya's neck. He looked up slowly with his deadly yellow eyes when they came.

"Kaze!" Kazuki yelled. Akira hid back behind the wall. He did not want to have any buisness with Kaze.

"Anyone take a step nearer," Kaze said in his cold voice. "-she'll die."

Kazuki glared at Kaze. Amaya was at Kaze's right, so his left was open. Kazuki grabbed the sharp wooden stick one of the other boys was holding and threw it point blank at Kaze's heart. Kaze pushed Amaya over to his left just in time for the stick to land deeply in between her shoulder and chest.

"YOU-!!!!" Amaya shouted. Kazuki was stunned. Kaze didn't seem to care what he did and what happened. Amaya thought of something.

"Kazuki! Y-you p-poisoned the s-s-stick??!!" Amaya said admist all the pain her nerve signals was sending to her brain.

"What?!"

Kaze straight away pulled the stick out and threw it towards Kazuki. It went right above his heart. Kaze grabbed the weakened Amaya by her waist, put her on his shoulder and ran away.

Amaya was panting terribly. It seemed that she was most of the time the one being hurt and Kaze saving her. This time she was very angry but couldn't care less to show it, now that she was so much in pain and loosing so much blood.

***************************************

Amaya opened her eyes. All she could recall was being carried around by Kaze, going into a room and him putting her down against the wall.

She looked up and saw Kaze. Amaya suddenly remembered what he did.

Kazuki!

"You bastard!!!" Amaya yelled at Kaze, sprang up on him and started hitting him. Kaze was shocked.

"Do you think that just because you can heal me then you can just keep hurting me?! Kazuki never got healed by you!! You can't just hurt my brother like that!!!" Amaya shouted as she punched his face.

By accident, Amaya tore off Kaze's mask. She stopped dead.

"Sh-Shiro?" she mumnled in disbelief. She sat on the floor facing him. His face was all bloody from Amaya's punches.

"Amaya!" They heard Kazuki's voice and footsteps coming nearer with doors opening and closing.

Just as the door of the room they were in opened, Kaze, or Shiro as you may call him, jumped out of the window.

"Amaya! Are you alright?" Kazuki ran in.

Amaya kept looking out the window with a shocked expression on her face as if Kazuki didn't call her.

"Amaya!" Kazuki ran over to her and shock her.
"Kazuki. Your wound?" Amaya responded lightly as she looked at him.

"It healed as soon as I pulled the stick out. There was something rubbed slightly on it." he said.

"Not the poison. There was no poison. I checked." Narumi told Amaya.

"I know. It was fake. I faked it." Amaya said again.

"Are you alright?" Kazuki repeated.
"Yea. Let's just go back to the quarters."
