(REWRITE 2023) An Angel's Lips

Chapter 24

Aizen drove his knee it's Yami's abdomen and the man hunched over, he staggered away and cradled his stomach. Yami lifted his gun, pointing it at Aizen"You...You've gotten stronger, Sosuke, or is that woman driving you?"

Aizen raised his gun and aimed it at Yami. In the distance, the sound of sirens approached. Aizen pulled his trigger and Yami fell to his knees but he quickly pulled his own. Aizen stepped aside but the bullet still managed to dig into his shoulder.

"Lord Aizen!" Gin turned to the sound and rushed from behind a pillar. He hooked Aizen's arm around his neck and pulled him behind a large desk. "Gin...I'm fine...Where's Yuri?" He said between heavy breaths.

"I haven't gotten word about her yet, we have to go,"

"Not...Without Yuri,"

"Don't be stubborn, your hurt," Gin lifted him up again and put his finger to his ear. "Lord Aizen is hurt and the police are headed this way, everyone retreat, if anyone has Lady Yuri in their sights retrieve her and meet us at the car,"

Tia looked down at the dead woman. She studied her corpse and growled. "We're too late! Someone else was here,"

"Geez, someone really went overboard," Apacci cringed at the hole on her temple.

"We have to get back, Lord Aizen is injured,"

"I heard, we'll have to check the security camera and find out who took Lady Yuri," The two girls hurried back down the corridor and into the elevator.

In the back of the limo, Aizen held his wound as blood spilled out of his shoulder. "We need to get your shoulder look at right away,"

"Yuri?"

"We haven't found her yet and Yami made a run for it," The sound of a phone began to ring. Gin leaned over and reached into Aizen's front pocket and pulled out a cellphone. Aizen grabbed the phone from Gin with his free hand.

Aizen answered it and put his phone to his ear.

"Lord Aizen?"

"Yuri? Where are you?"

After scrambling for some loose change she found in the phone booth floor, she managed to call Aizen. The rain poured outside of the booth, hard. It looked like it was never going to stop. She sat on the cold floor and hugged herself, she was cold, sad and alone. The only thing she could think about was seeing Aizen. Hoping, praying he would come soon. A bright light made her flinch and she heard a car door slam. The doors to the booth slammed opened and above her was what she had been praying for. His brown eyes, those brown eyes that could make anyone swoon. "Yuri,"

Tears welled up in her eyes and she began to sob.

"Lord Aizen!" As she reached down to touch her, she jumped to her feet and wrapped her arms around him. Finally, she was in his arms and there was no way she was ever letting go.

"All finished," Szayelaporro stood up straight and examined the bandaged shoulder. "You'll need to rest for a couple of weeks, don't use this shoulder if you don't have to," He instructed and began to clean up his tools. Yuri stepped out of the bathroom in a white, fluffy robe.Szayelaporro left the bedroom and let the door close behind him. "Are you done?" She asked, walking up to the couch. Aizen adjusted his robe and looked up at her. "I am. How was your shower?"

"I hadn't had a decent shower in a few days, so I got carried away," Yuri joked and sat beside him. "What happened with Yami?"

"He managed to escape, but I want to know how you ended up outside in the rain," Yuri bit her lip. "I...I was picked up...by Namika," The name seemed to make Aizen's skin crawl and his full attention was on her.
