Lost Love (Love Letter From Thief X fanfic) [COMPLETED]

The Last Riki's PoV

I sit in the dark room, trying not to move to prevent more blood loss, focusing on my breathing. The door clicks and whines as it swings open.

Its time for another round. I stay still and wait. After a moment a strangled sob hits my ears, and I look up. Alaina is standing there with a wicked bruise on one side of her face. Her eyes are big and watery and she looks absolutely distraught.

"Hey babe." My voice cracks and when I try to smile, I feel my lip split again.

She rushes over and picks the chain lock. When I get my hands free, I wrap her in my arms and pulls her close, wiping away her tears. I'm so glad you're safe. I close my eyes and just hold her.

"Riki.....Riki....." She sobs gently as her eyes examine my wounds.

"Hey hey hey, I'm okay." I lie to appease her.

"Riki Yanase. Don't you dare lie to me." Damn she got me. "I don't give a damn how strong you are, you're bloody and paler than Edward Cullen, and....Mmmmm"

I silence her by pressing her lips to mine, despite the gash in my bottom one. "Okay, maybe I'm a little sore, but I will be fine." I whisper into her ear, and she seems to calm down just a little bit.

She takes my arm and puts it around her shoulder and eases me into a standing position. I hiss when I put weight on my left leg.

" 'Okay' my ass." She mumbles and I snort. Snappy.

"Kelly you got an earpiece?"

"Yep." She presses one hand to her ear. "Takuto? We good?" There's a silence. "Ok let's go."

Alaina takes the gun from Kelly and walk up the stairs. I limp alongside her, feeling more blood pour down my leg. She turns the doorknob. Locked. She hands me the gun and I take point, balanced on one leg, as she picks the door, and slowly pushes it open. Kelly takes the gun back from me.

"Yep. Basement." She looks around the room, apparently recognizing it. "I can get us out. En?"

"Yea."

"You still have the blueprints memorized right?"

"Yep."

"Good. With you, me, and Takuto, we should be able to get out." She goes back to supporting me.

She glances back at Kelly. "Are we clear?"

Her hand presses on the earpiece. "Yes we are clear."

We walk out into the room and move through it. I can feel blood pouring down my leg every time we take a step and the lightheadedness feeling is getting worse. By the time we get to the third room, She tears off a shirt sleeve and wraps it around my leg.

"Thank.....you."

"Just hold on. We're almost there baby, we're almost there. Kelly? Where's the van?" Her voice raises in pitch as she ends.

"At the servant's entrance."

"Just one more room.....How is everyone holding up?"

"We are all breathing......" Hiro answers with a growl.

I fight a cough, and my breathing jumps a beat. When she looks up at me like I'm about to drop over dead, which I might just, I calm her. "I'm....fine."

"And I'm Whoopie Goldberg." She stares at me with a mixture of fear and love and shock, and keeps walking. As we walk into the massive kitchen, Ryu is standing there.

"Hello sister." He's standing in the center of the room, watching as if he expected all of this.

I hear the click of a gun from behind us. Kelly.
