[New Ends] Part Two

     Chuuya hiccuped awake to find he was laying on something pretty uncomfortable: probably because it was a body.

     "Oh look, he's finally awake!  It's about time."

     If I look up and this is who I think it is I swear to god...
Chuuya thought to himself before bringing his blue gray eyes above his head.

     Another man smiled down at him with kind but scary light-brown eyes.  Chuuya shuddered, it was Dazai.

     He tried to move out of his grasp but he was too weak from the poison to fight against the other male.  He struggled for a moment before just relaxing his muscles and allowing himself to fall back into his arms.

     "H-how long has it been?"

     "Weeelll about 30 minutes or so but time isn't really on our side, soooo I was vigorously shaking you.  Turns out that ability is pretty powerful!"
Dazai's cheerful voice filled Chuuya's ears.

     He started to get a headache as he looked around.  They were still in the strip mall?  Why didn't Dazai take them somewhere else?

     "Look, Chuuya, I know who this man is.  He should be coming by here to see if his accomplices are still alive.  The only way to get rid of the poison is to kill the ability user."

     Chuuya groaned and looked up in the store windows by where they were sitting on the ground.  An abandoned strip mall sure seemed a lot scarier in the middle of the night.

     "Is he a Port Mafia member?"
Chuuya mumbled out.

     "Actually he isn't, which makes this case even more confusing.  Who knows, all I know is that we gotta job to do before you..."
Dazai trailed off.

     It was silent for a moment before he spoke again.

     "Damn I wish I could have been the one shot!  What a nice way to go, speaking of which, how do you feel Chuuya?"

     Chuuya shivered in the cold, but the warmth radiating off of Dazai made him feel warm somehow.  He didn't want to admit it, though.

     "Like I got hit by a bus."

     Dazai just smiled and looked ahead into the shadows where the dead body's lied there stationary.  There was movement behind them, before footsteps were heard.

     Dazai stood up quickly and made sure Chuuya stayed behind him so he could guard him.  This was the ability user. 

     The man stepped towards Dazai who swung at him quickly and dodged his attacks.  Dazai landed a punch to the gut which made the man throw up.  He was in all black and masked with a ski mask, but Dazai still knew it was him.

     The attacker looked panicked at Dazai's skills and ran back towards his car quickly.

     "Wait, no don't!"
Dazai yelled at him but it was too late.  The engine had already started.

     His gray van started to zoom out of the parking lot and into the road.

     Dazai looked back at Chuuya quickly.

     "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do."
...
     "What do you me-"

     Dazai instantly grabbed Chuuya's collar and ran towards his motorcycle.  Chuuya left the keys in the ignition so all that Dazai had to do was hop on.  He guided a Chuuya's arms around his waist and strung the handlebars as hard as he could.

     He followed behind the gray van on the long city streets.  There is no way that old car could be faster than Chuuya's bike. 

     The street lamps shone in waves past them and Chuuya mumble-screamed something behind Dazai but he couldn't hear what he said.  Chuuya was so weak, he was barley hanging on.

Sorry buddy...

     The vehicles tumbled about.  Dazai had never driven a motorcycle before, and he was a terrible driver in general so it was a very bumpy ride.

     Dazai hit a large pothole as he tried to pass the van.  He was side by side with it and he looked in the tinted windows to see the man looking back.

     "Dazai, look out!"
The words finally came clearly out of Chuuya's mouth.

     Another random car came out going the opposite way of the two, and Dazai had to drive between it and the van before they hit head on.  The sides scraped together as Chuuya tried to pull his legs in the middle so they didn't get caught in the crossfire.

     The red paint on Chuuya's motorcycle stained the car behind him.

     When this is all over I'm going to skin you Dazai...

     Dazai took out his gun and tried to steer with one hand.  Skillfully, he shot the front tire of the van, making the wheel pop and crush.  The van swerved about as Dazai turned and put his foot out to make the bike stop and skid.

     The van spun out of control and hit one of the tall streetlights.  Before the car exploded in flames the masked man jumped out and ran into the woods.

     "God fucking damnit..."
Chuuya mumbled out behind Dazai.

     "I'm seriously going to die with the person I hate most in this world..."
Dazai knew Chuuya was trying to make light of the situation, but they just didn't have time.

     Dazai jumped off of the motorcycle and helped Chuuya onto his back.  Chuuya held on for dear life as the man with bandaged arms and lanky legs fled after the man in the woods.

     "Y-you're not a very good equine..."

     Darkness shrouded them as they ran into the woods and into the dark night.  Branches hit Chuuya's face.  How did Dazai even know where the other man went?

     "Well I never asked to be ridden, you know."

     Soon, they came up against a large clearing where trees had been chopped down in a circular patch.  The stars gleamed onto the dew in the grass and they both looked around.  Ahead of them was the man in all black who had the poisonous ability.

     He was just standing there, stationary.  Why wasn't he scared now when he had been earlier?

      Dazai heard branches crack and leaves break all around them as more masked men came from the shadows. 

     Confused, he looked ahead at the ability user.  He was holding a syringe, one that looked identical to the one that had taken Chuuya down.

     He spoke and had a deep, raspy voice that showed years upon years of heavy smoking.
     "It's time for you to sleep too.!"

     Chuuya looked around and put his head on Dazai's shoulder, and spoke in just a whisper.

     "Dazai it was a t-trap!"

     The masked members came from the forestry, all holding weapons and some even holding the syringes that holder the deadly poison. 

     They all leaped towards the two in a fury.
