Two Hearts {Hibari x Oc/ Dino x Oc}

Chapter 21

When Yuzuhira saw Kyoko and Haru outside of the restaurant and was invited to go to a bakery with them, she agreed. Yuzuhira was fine with the fact that Kyoko and Haru had brought along I-Pin and Lambo. She was fine with the fact that said bakery was in the mountains and they had to climb the mountain trail to find it. She was fine when they got lost, all they had to do was go back the way they came. Yuzuhira was fine when Lambo told them he knew where it was and would show them the way, even though something screamed in her to not follow a baby into the mountains. What she was not fine with was the fact that the baby only got them more and more...and more lost.

They found a small path that had the entrance to a cave and to her surprise someone had been standing in front of the cave. She recognized the person. Her name was Bianchi. She remembered her from the night they all had dinner. They were all happy to see her. Yuzuhira almost jumped for joy when she saw a familiar face after hours of aimless walking. They quickly explained their situation to the young woman and she eased their worries. But then she told them she was lost and had been lost for three days prior to them finding her. Apparently, she was searching for poisonous mushrooms or something and got lost.

Yuzuhira could have cried. They seemed to be getting only more bad news the more they were on this mountain. As they conversed something caught their attention. It was something that sounded like a shrill scream. This alerted everyone. Bianchi was the first to react.

"Let's hide in the cave," she said, motioning to where she had just appeared from, "What caused that noise isn't too far. Let's go!"

Already scared and worried no one really objected to the idea. Although being trapped in a cave didn't seem like the best idea. Yuzuhira, however, followed Bianchi as she motioned the younger girls and babies into the dark cave.

For a while it was silent. No one spoke and no other noises were heard. Then they heard echoes from the entrance of the cave. It sounded like voices to her. No one said anything but she could tell they were all cowering in fear. After a while, one of the voices grew louder.

"It sounds like people," Yuzuhira whispered to no one in particular. Bianchi was next to her and moved toward the entrance, quietly shushing her. She began moving toward what Yuzuhira figured were the sound footsteps approaching. Yuzuhira did want to ask the voices for help. She watched enough horror movies to know there were three types of people in the mountains; The murderers who lived in the mountains that lost all their sanity and killed innocent hikers, the murderers who kidnapped people to hunt them down for fun, and the lost people trying to escape the lurking murderers.

Suddenly Bianchi moved and Yuzuhira jolted when she heard a loud scream. Bianchi did not come back to them and the scream was so shrill it could have only come from a woman. Yuzuhira heard footsteps leaving the cave and she quickly followed them. She needed to save Bianchi.

Yuzuhira wasn't like Kazuko. Kazuko could sniff out danger and fight without thinking. Yuzuhira wasn't that brave. She couldn't bare the thought of kill or seriously injuring another human being. So what was she going to do if Bianchi was in danger?!

Yuzuhira felt a cold sweat begin to drip from her temples as she ran. When Yuzuhira got to the entrance of the cave she recognized two people standing there. One of them was Bianchi and the other was Gokudera, Bianchi's brother. She was holding him up and he looked passed out.

"Huh, Bianchi?!" a voice shouted, "Yuzuhira?!"

Kazuko slowly and reluctantly began to rouse from her deep slumber heavy eyelids drug themselves open and she flinched at the light pouring into the dark room. She rubbed her knuckles onto her eyes and stretched her arms above her head. She had slept pretty well, despite the circumstances.
