Chapter 9 - Survival- Part three

Eyes open, faintly. His chest stings. Shikito finds himself surrounded by the tribal cannibals. "Suz- Suzume... Yu-Yumma..." murmurs Shikito.

Serrakha, the master spearperson, picked Suzume up. Another tribe came and grabbed Shikito by his leg, lifted him up. "ZHURRAK VAI'TOL—THRENN KAASH?!", screamed the tribals.

They started to search for Yuuma. "VAESH-NULL!!!", replied the tribes searching for him.

Wind changed its direction, the leaves of the trees waved towards the new direction, forgetting the direction in which they once waved. The sound of the strong winds echoed, followed by the sound of thunder.

"RAESH'VA SHORR—THRENN-KAASH NAAL. DU'KAASH GRAH!" screamed the Serrakha.

Rain started to pour down, extinguishing the torches of tribes. Darkness surrounded the canopy, the sound of raindrops hitting the ground dominated all the other voices... 

4 hours later...

Suzume woke up, looking at her wound, which had stopped bleeding. She rubbed her eyes and stood, leaning against a tree for support. The next thing she saw made her scream in horror. A pile of dead bodies."I-I-It's the tribes! T-They are d-dead?!" stammered Suzume, eyes wide.

She looked around weeping, trying to find Shikito and Yuuma. Shikito was still unconscious, red burn blisters highlighting his chest. Yuuma, covered in blood, was lying next to the dead bodies, breathing heavily... 

"KYAAA!!!! Y-YUUMA!! WHAT HAPPENED?!?! SUZUME?!!" woke up Shikito, standing up immediately, taking a random fighting stance. He looked at the corpses, then at Yuuma. "Yu-Yuuma.... ARGHHAHAH MY FRIEND, YOU SAVED USSS!!!!!", jumped Shikito, hugging Yuuma.

"Stop being.... overdramatic...", murmured Yuuma, smiling bluntly.

"What did you ACTUALLY DO SILLY MONSTER!!!" screamed Suzume. Yuuma mockingly replied, "Well, the result's right next to you, MADAM!"

"It's only the second day… and we're already crawling through hell." screamed Shikito, patting his chest. 

"Well then... All we need is to survive. TOGETHER", claimed Yuuma, smirking. "YES!" screamed Suzume, enthusiastically.

"You. You are really Yuki's son, Yuuma Sangakai." proudly smiled Taishiro, looking at the stats for the inspection ward.
