Yoko
My eyes were too heavy to even open anymore. My concious drifted further with every breath of the burning air.
The cuffs around my wrists were scalding from the intense heat of the fire.
The cruiseliner was most likely close to complete destruction. The echoes in the halls of breaking pipes and gas lines frew louder, the fire hotter.
"Yoko open your eyes. Wake up for me." He pleaded. There was a tugging at my arms and muttered cursing. Yet I couldn't bring myself to open my own eyes.
I was so tired...
Sleep sounded like the most beautiful thing, but with that I knew once I was out, I was dead.
"Yoko look at me!" He yelled his voice urgent.
I fought the tiredness trying to make out my surroundings. Everything was blurry and it was hard to breathe.
"Your ability. The one that freezes time. Use it." He told me.
"Can't... need a target." I mumbled. I felt his hand rest on my cheek.
"Use me"
I refused to. It didn't matter to me. No matter the circumstances I would never do it again.
Suddenly I felt his lips against mine.
"Just trust me" he whispered. My lungs ached with a pain so great I nearly cried out in agony.
"K-Kyusai."
A liquid dripped onto my cheek making me open my eyes. The blurriness began to fade as the temperature dropped.
"See. Not... so difficult." He smiled. Blood trailed from his mouth and a silver icy branch pierced his chest.
Time around us stood still, the boat no longer crumbling around us. The flames frozen in place.
The cold crept from my hands to the cuffs making them fragile enough to shatter.
This felt different, the last time I had used this ability, I had lost all control of myself. Yet now, I was fine.
"The two members from the deck are taken care of. We just need to get away from this ship." He stated. I nodded my head but couldn't help but glance down to the wound I gave him.
"It's just a flesh wound." He smirked. I laughed feeling the ice begin to thaw. When the branches disappeared he collapsed onto me unconscious.
Leave the rest to me Ryu.
