.:Holding Out For A Hero:.(Sequel to AiL)
Nearly a year after that summer, I was leaving the hustle and bustle of my mom's wedding celebration, and I ventured to the courtyard outside. Careful not to trip on my long, spagetti-strap, maroon dress, I simply stood in the middle of the beautifully-decorated courtyard, and closed my mis-matched eyes, feeling the icy breeze through my hair and it's soft caress on my cheek; I smiled. Reluctantly, my eyes opened, and I scanned the horizon carefully; it was twilight. My favorite time of day.
"Of course it's my favorite freakin' time of the day..." I muttered to myself.
...At least, it had been my favorite since-...since.... Kaze. I took a shaky breath, and luckily saw something to take my mind off him. In the distance, a swirling dust cloud was coming my way, and I squinted, trying to make out the figure causing it all. As the apparent golden-colored cloud came steadily closer, the figure became more defined, and my mis-matched eyes widened in shock.
"Krad?!" I exclaimed as the homicidal blonde moved ever-closer.
I was frozen on the spot; I willed my legs to move, but they stubbornly stay planted on the cement. At the last possible moment before Krad reached me, someone grasped me around the waist from the side, and flew away. And not flew in the metaphore form, they were actually flying. I clung to my savior - at least until I realized who it was.
"DARK?! WHAT THE-?!" I shouted, straying as far as I could from teh PHP without him dropping me.
"I thought you'd be happy to see me!" He protested with an evil Dark-smirk in his evil Dark-voice.
"GUESS AGAIN!!!" I yelled. "NOW, PUT ME DOWN!"
I looked over Dark's shoulder to see Krad in hot pursuit of us, and I promptly clutched to Dark again with a twitch. He just smirked knowingly while I Myra-pouted at him effectivelely; I was so combusting him later. >.>
"Don't you dare put me down and/or drop me. >.>" I growled dangerously.
"I won't." Dark reassured me with a small laugh. "Just hold on, we're gonna lose him."
"NU-"
Too late. Dark was now spiraling upwards, carrying me bridal-style and careful not to drop me. The PHP gracefully dodged several blasts of golden light from behind, and he eventually dive bombed, heading for the ground. I suppressed a scream, and Dark expertly sliced his speed in half, freezing just above the ground; Krad sped past us. With a mocking laugh, Dark flew in the direction we had come.
"Why the hell is Krad tryin' to take me out?!" I yelled over the wind.
Dark raised an eyebrow at me.
"NOT LIKE THAT! THE DEAD KINDA 'TAKE ME OUT', SMART ONE!" I shouted frusteratedly, flailing my arms and effectiveley smacking Dark in the side of the head.
"He's working with ... the ... the ... I can't pronounce it. Humu-somethin'." Dark said, looking ahead of us.
I paused, thinking minutely, then my eyes bulged, and I exclaimed, "The Humunculi?!"
"That's it!! And the Hu-whatevers are with the Order. So, you're totally screwed. And not in the good way." Dark told me with a scowl. Sick pervert. o.<
Dark landed back in the courtyard, and I promptly leaped out of his arms, turning to face teh PHP, hands on my hips. "We've gotta get outta here. At least I do."
Dark shrugged, then his gaze shifted to something behind me. "The ... H-word's are coming."
I whirled around to see Lust, Gluttony, Envy, and Krad all coming at us, full-force. I twitched horribly, before turning back to Dark. Only to find it was Sora, again. I screamed in frustration and surprise.
"WHAT?! SORA?! NU!! GET DARK BACK OUT HERE TO SAVE MY SORRY ASS!" I shouted, spazzing effectively.
Sora frowned. "I can't save you?"
"NO! YOU ARE A SCRAWNY GIRLY-BOY!" I shouted, grasping the other brunette's hand and running back into the building where everyone was partying.
Truthfully, there wasn't really an 'partying', only old people thinking they were. De nile ain't just a river in Egypt, folks. I rushed straight through the room, going towards the back exit.
"Where're you going?!" Sora asked me, irritated.
"I dunno! Shut up!" I hissed at him.
Your Sword Vs. My Dagger by Silverstein blared from the speakers(I could hear it even outside), and I carelessly threw Sora out the door, slamming it behind me. Whirling, I placed my hand on the cold metal, and the door glowed, followed by a sharp click. Then one of Lust's claws squealed through the door, causing me to 'eep'.
So much for locking the door.
Backing away from the door, I called back to Sora without looking, "Can you please change back into Dark so the Universe has at least some chance of not spiraling into darkness?!"
"Already done." Dark! THANK GOD.
I whirled about, seeing that Dark was holding out his arms with a smirk. Hearing the metal squealing painfully behind me, I reluctantly leaped into Dark's arms, and his dark amethyst(but spelled right...) wings(it's actually With, though :3) spread out wide, and with a few flaps, we were soaring through the air once more.
"Think you can get of this world by just flying?" I asked Dark, half-sarcastically.
"Newp, sorry." He replied.
"Damn." I muttered.
Well, here it is! The sequel to Accidentally In Love! Love it, hate, do whatever you want with it. o.o
...Hehe...xD *ahem* Gutter mind. :3
Might as well put those rights to Kanynt to good use... <_< >_>;; He was gonna be in her' before Pickle even gave me the rights! =D
Without further ado, I proudly present:
Holding Out For A Hero
HOFAH! =D
Sidenote: Thanks to C_U fer teh song suggestion. :3
~~~~~~~~~~
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return; to obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivilent Exchange.
For all that I've lost, I haven't gained a single thing back; for in less than 24 hours, I had gained love, and lost it. After that, nothing could ever be the same again.

I'm cutting through, you're bleeding out
And I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself
Red rushes out, dissect this nerve
And I'll stop myself before I reach my cell

I wasn't asking for the world
And you know that I'm not one to follow through
All these city streets the people look the same
And I can see your face, and I can hear your name

You're stabbing in, permanent scars
And you'll justify it all inside yourself
You've finished me, my pulse is gone
And you're satisfied to put this all to hell
And you'll justify it all inside yourself

Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late
Tragic endings are your thing, you love them
(Tragic endings)
You love letting go, the ending's the same
Drink the poison, when you think it's over
(Drink the poison)
Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you
