Battle seven:

The cloud has vanished

Sora fell but managed to reach the wall before she hit the ground and leaned against it for a moment, "..He's dead...but why does it feel wrong?"

Kirai shook his head as he continued to stare at Cloud, "He was a big part of your life. Now he's gone," he glanced at Sora, "Plus you actually have feelings, unlike him. It’s natural to be sad when someone dies.. or when you kill them."

Sora looked at Kirai, "I guess you’re right, but that doesn't mean it’s over yet," she growled slightly as she let herself fall to the ground. That statement scared Kirai, there was more? What else could possibly happen? He found it strikingly hard to believe that this had all happened in a day.

Kirai poked his head out into the hallway where the clock had been placed. It was two in the morning. He was too on edge to even think about sleeping. Sora would have explained more to him and the things that happen now that Cloud was dead, but she had fallen asleep.

"Dang..she fell asleep," sighed Artemis.

"I would too if it were possible," Kirai slid down the wall and sat against it. He looked at Artemis.

"Thanks for saving my ass by the way."

Prism remained in the hallway, leaning against the wall, crying silently. Now she was alone. She'd been alone before, but she knew there was always a possibility of finding Cloud. Now, he was dead. What would she do now?

"Haha, no problem, but next time that happens again I'm training your ass myself got it? She needs something to keep her warm," sighed Artemis, he got up and took off his jacket and laid it on Sora. Kirai sighed but couldn’t resist a smile.

"Fineee."

He glanced over at Cloud again. Kirai would never understand him, how could he die smiling. It was scary how genuinely happy he looked.

Prism sat down in the doorway, wiping her eyes, "You're lucky, Kirai. He wouldn’t have just raped you. He would’ve broken you."

She emphasized 'you' in that sentence. What, was Kirai special or something? Artemis tuned to Prism, "What do you mean broken him?," he asked her.

Prism sighed, "Cloud had a way of playing mind tricks... I never understood how, but he always seemed to make his victims enjoy what he did to them.. and I have a feeling he wouldn't have killed Kirai right after. He'd have kept him, tortured him, and screwed him up."

Kirai looked at him and shivered. He saw flashes of his dream and squeezed his eyes shut. Artemis looked at Prism then back to Kirai, "Hey you okay? If Sora wakes to see you like this she could go on a rampage even in the condition she’s in," warned Artemis.

Kirai opened his eyes again and nodded. 'He's gone,' he told himself. 'He can’t hurt you. He won’t do that to you.'

After a second Kirai laughed, “I love how she's my protector," he smiled at his girlishness.

"Hey, then how about I help you change that?," asked Artemis.

Kirai smiled again, "Sure, but you've got your work cut out for you," he warned, "I suck."

Artemis chuckled for a moment, "Yeah yeah, that’s what Sora told me when she begged me to train her and I put her straight into the toughest training," he said with a smirk.

Kirai laughed a bit, but it sounded more nervous than amused, "Sounds fun."

'I’m probably going to die,' he thought to himself. 'Maybe Sora won’t let him kill me. I hope.'
