48. nostalgia(?)
Their bodies had crossed its tolerance limit... even their breathing turned faint---
After a few moments had passed, two shadows came from behind the pillars of the parking lot...
"They really won...", their voice held some disbelief and shock along with a tinge of relief and hope!
….....
Even though Yuki had fainted, she could still see whatever was happening around, it was again the case of what she had been feeling when she was being carried in the back of that man; it was an 'out of body' experience...?
She could see the shadow of two men coming over to their side, because of the light, she couldn't see their faces, but they didn't have any malice towards them...
They stood there for a moment and talked about something before deciding to carry them...
Yuki could only see from the point of view from her body's perspective for some reason and could only see that one of them gently carried her body while the other helped carry the other man.
She didn't know how she did it, but the next moment she forced her consciousness to wake up and whisper in a feeble tone, " Third... floor..."
She felt a jerk... the one carrying her was probably too shocked and almost dropped her!
Still, she knew she wouldn't be able to keep this state up for long and continued, "Third... floor... they.. won't come.. because of its blood....", she was again thrown out of her body.
In reality, the man carrying her, heard her speak and almost dropped her because he was scared, by her sudden rise, but when he heard her words, he understood what she wanted to say and decided to believe in her.
He told his partner carrying the other man about it and they walked up to the third floor of the parking lot.
…...
Yuki finally woke up the next day with a loud grumble from her stomach, well, no one knew, when was the last time, she ate something and with all that fighting, she was very hungry!!
She woke up with a jerk and scared the hell out of the man who had been looking after for the whole day yesterday!
Yuki was back to herself and just gave a simple nod to them before locking on the food she had carried on the side, though she didn't check it knowingly, she knew that these two hadn't touched them.. since, they hadn't, she tagged them as 'good people' before she chugged down some water and energy bars...
Without a care about how the other two viewed her as in, how scared they were, she simply minded about her food.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of eating different dry rations and energy bars with plenty of water, she felt sated!
She stood up and went to the other two who were watching her without blinking from start, it was quite comical.
"You can call me Yuki. Thank you for saving us", she still knew to show her gratitude just that food was the first priority a while ago. Shrug
She could finally take a good look of the two and her eyes dilated... as weird as it gets, a while ago, she felt like her eyes were clouded, but now, it wasn't hard for her to see that these two had an uncanny resemblance to Aki and Makarios, even though she knew it wasn't possible, she felt a weird nostalgia and her sight paused on their faces for a moment.
The other two saw her like this and again felt shocked again, they could still guess why she wasn't wary against them, well, she was someone who took down a zerg which was almost 10 times her size with the other man, it would be weirder if she was wary and it was also not that she knew who they were, it was probably instinct to her and she was the one who had asked them to come here... what they were shocked to see was the look she gave her towards the end... they were sure they didn't know her, but her eyes held a certain nostalgia, shock and relief..?
The one to break the ice was still Yuki, she was certain that they were not the people she knew, she was a bit sad, but it was better for those two kids to be not here, as for the resemblance, well, didn't she herself resembled parts of her previous lives...?
"hmm... Are you guys alone?", she asked them.
Well, just the fact that they had saved them gave a good image about themselves to her plus, their resemblance... she couldn't leave them alone.
The two were taken aback by her question but the one who was of the smaller stature and resembled Aki, replied to her, "Yes... we are."
These two looked fairly young, definitely younger than her own body and the man--
Ah! That man!!
Yuki didn't give a reply and turned to find that man... the other two saw her act like this and gave her a reply," We put him in that car", they gestured towards one at the deepest corner of the hall of this floor.
Yuki nodded and ran towards him...
The man still hadn't woken up, Yuki had checked her soul force just now and saw that it had increased by a lot, well, she had emptied everything the other day and her soul was functioned to automatically fill it up compared to how others had to concentrate on the surrounding and lead their energy back into them... her core was still huge but the force was only what she lost in her first reincarnation, she guessed that she probably took some from the outside world like the pre-teens did to accumulate their soul force.
Anyway, she pushed some of her force into him and was almost thrown out.... his inside was a storm... his physique itself was faring well, but that power he had just woken up was like a typhoon!
Yuki didn't have time to waste, she forced some more of her soul force into him, the fight was going to put a strain on her...
