Nightshift 26: F-Block Hallway

[From here.]

Shining the flashlight around the corner, Rukia didn't see any other patients around, which was fine with her at the moment. She wanted to get to Colonel Mustang quickly, and hopefully Renji wouldn't take too long to meet her...

Jogging along quietly, she continued on.

Usagi let out a deep sigh. No amount of pleading would get Ami to give up important information about the future, but that didn't make it any less frustrating. It wasn't fair that her friends kept having to go through fight after fight with no relief. Usagi needed to be strong to protect them, but the constant barrage of enemy attacks was beginning to take its toll on her heart.

She smiled at Ami's encouraging words, not wanting her friend to know how depressed the news about the future had made her. "Then I guess we should be more worried about getting out of here."

Ami let out a small sigh of relief, glad that Usagi seemed to have cheered up at her words. Maybe even the small amount of information Usagi had gleaned from her would be enough to help her in the upcoming battle. That's IF we get out of here, Ami thought. What if they were stuck in here until they disappeared or died? Or if more of the senshi became stuck in here? Face it, you're useless without your change rod. You'll just be a burden.... A feeling of dread started to wash over her, and Ami struggled to pushed it back. "There's something wrong..." she murmured, looking around in the gloom. "The air feels....heavy." She wondered if Usagi could feel it too. Mentally shaking herself, Ami's blue eyes caught Usagi's again, remembering there was one very important thing she wanted to tell Usagi.

"Usagi," she said in a low voice. "Kunzite is in Landel's too."

Usagi looked at Ami with concern and tried to sense what her friend was feeling. To her there was always a heaviness and confinement to the air of Landel's. Was Ami sensing some danger headed their way? She looked around the hall as a shiver ran down her spine.

Ami's next sentence caught Usagi off guard. Mamoru had the four stones of the generals and she knew that he could consult them in times of danger, but they had lost their physical forms. He trusted them, but if Landel's could take Ami from the future, it could take Kunzite from a time when he was still brainwashed by Beryl.

"Do you think he will help us?"

Help us? That would be incredibly unlikely, given that we destroyed him...unless something else happened in Usagi's timeline. Ami sighed again. This was getting really complicated.

"Somehow I don't think so," she murmured, her thoughts returning to what happened the previous night. "There was something...ominous...about his presence." She looked back to Usagi. "But then, this place has been full of surprises." Realising they had been talking for some time, and that thre were people waiting for them, Ami thought it was probably time they made a move.

"We should probably go meet the other three," she said matter-of-factly, smiling at Usagi. "They should be waiting just outside this hallway."

Ami turned to lead the way to the designated meeting place.

Usagi nodded to Ami and followed, not wanting to hold up the other people they were meeting. What she said about Kunzite was troubling, but she'd worry about that when it came up.
