My Paradise (Wolf's Rain Fan-Fic)

Chapter 34

I lunge at the Noble as wolf. At the same time, he pulls out a sword, and swipes it through the air. I land a few feet behind him and turn towards him, showing him that he'd only gotten my face in the same place I'd gotten him. "So wolf, have you come for revenge?" the Noble asks. 'You...will not...hurt Cheza!' I snarl. "Cheza, she is a being that we created. A mere embodiment of a Lunar Flower. Why is it that your desire for her is so desperate?" he asks. 'I don't know who you Nobles are...or what you're trying to do...and to be honest, I don't really care, Cheza is all that matters. She's gonna show us the way to Paradise.' I say. "You damn wolf! All of this first began with your retched breed!" the Noble says before charging at me, I meet him half way, and land behind him again. We continue to fight until both of us had a generous share of wounds. I won't give up, I won't let him get away with Cheza again! "It's because of you, you and your kind's stories, you took everything from me and in return you give me a curse and grief, and suffering. And my eye, transformed into one such as yours. The price I payed for being cursed by Paradise. And now..." the Noble points the tip of his sword at the unconscious Cheza. "The only thing that surrounds me...is despair." he says. 'Don't!' I bark. 'What is it? What do you want?' I ask, stalling. "Have you found it? Have you found Paradise?" he asks. 'We will. No matter what!' I say. "And what do you expect to find there?" he asks. 'A future.' I say. He looks to me. "A future?" he asks. 'Not hope, or despair. Just a future. Nothing more.' I say. He looks up at the ceiling. "I no longer have any need...for a...future." he says. I snarl just as a shotgun is fired.

Yuna's P.O.V.

"Was that a—" I cut myself off and start running in the direction of the shot. The others not far behind.

Kiba's P.O.V.

I was able to jump out of the way and land a few feet away. Snarling at the old man. He loads his gun as two more humans run into the room. There's a sound of metal as the Noble walks away. I quickly look to make sure Cheza was alright. "It's over wolf." The old man says trying to focus on me.

Yuna's P.O.V.

Blue was the first to make it in time. "No don't!" she cries before turning wolf and jumping in front of Kiba. I get there soon after her, and stand in front of them both as wolf as well. The old man stops and looks away from his focus on the gun's barrel. "Blue..." the old man says. Tsume, Hige, and Toboe get there next. They stop where they are. Hige gasps. "Kiba!" Toboe yells. "Yuna!" Tsume yells with widened eyes. I ignore them. A bright light permeates through the room we were in, and I hear a female human gasp. I look towards her. She was looking at the ceiling in fear. "My Lord Darcia!" she screams looking towards him before a laser splits through the ceiling, and blows her away. 'Cheza!' I hear Kiba yell. Kiba starts to run but another laser splits through the ceiling and he has no choice but to jump out of the way. "Yuna! Get over here!" Tsume yells. My eyes are wide as I turn towards Cheza, to the others, and back to Cheza. "Dammit Yuna! Don't do it!" Tsume snaps at me. I wine and jump towards Cheza. Another laser splits through the crumbling ceiling, missing me, but the blast from the laser hits me, and throws me forward into a cloud of smoke.

Tsume's P.O.V.

"Yuna!" I yell and watch as the ground breaks, separating us from Cheza, Blue, and Yuna. I clench my fists together. "Blue, no!" Hige yells shortly after I do.

Yuna's P.O.V.

I slowly raise myself from the ground, focusing on getting to Cheza, who lay unconscious a few yards away. But another laser hits in front of me, blowing me backwards. as I fell back, I end up hitting my head against another piece of the ground, before everything goes Black.

Tsume's P.O.V.

I see what looks like a woman's body fall a few yards away and before I knew it, I was running towards her. As I closed in and the smoke clears a bit, my eyes widen. "Yuna!" I yell before speeding up and skidding to a halt next to her. She lay unconscious, with new wounds decorating her body. I narrow my eyes and clench my jaw together, before trying to shake her awake. "Yuna? Yuna! Wake up! Come on Yuna!" I yell as I continue to shake her. Nothing happens. "Dammit Yuna, you better be alive, because I'm gonna kill you!" I yell before lifting her into my arms, and jumping out of the way as a chunk of the ceiling falls. I reach the others and soon Toboe is running towards me. "Yuna!" he yells and stops when I growl at him for getting too close. "T-Tsume...it's me..." Toboe trails off. "She alright?" Kiba asks keeping his distance. I don't answer and start running out of the collapsing building. The others follow. Kiba starts running faster towards the opposite direction. "Kiba!" Hige calls. "What are you doing?!" I speak finally, before turning to block Yuna from further damage, as another part of the ceiling breaks and falls next to me. "Kiba!" I yell louder. He was already gone.

Kiba's P.O.V.

They have her. I continue to run. "Kiba! KIBA!" I hear Cheza scream. I run faster. When I reach where she was, I am too late, the airship is already off the ground. Even knowing that, I still chase after it. Faster...FASTER!

Tsume's P.O.V.

We make it out of the keep just in time to watch as the keep is blown to bits. Fragments of the keep fly at us and we continuously dodge them by jumping away. As soon as we're safe from the fragments, we start searching for Kiba. I still won't let anyone close to Yuna. "Kiba! KIBA!" Toboe yells. Hige stayed silent. "KIBA!" Toboe calls again. Nothing. I place Yuna on the ground gently, and sit next to her. I remember the blast before, when Cheza was first taken, I had seen Yuna blown away the last time, remembered the amount of blood covering her fur. I shake that memory away and clench my fists together. I look to her again and swipe a piece of hair out of her face. "You better wake up soon." I say quietly.
