I looked at Kyo’s clothes on the ground and the shiny little tracking device just right next to them. Then lifted my eyes and looked at the steep walls of the hill right in front of me. Then back at the clothes and footprints in the sand. I could distinguish the footprints of Kyo’s bare feet around his clothes, but they don’t go anywhere, they just disappear into thin air as if Kyo grew wings and flew over the hills.
“What the fuck” I heard Die murmur behind me. “Can they fly or what?”
“Seems like it…” Shinya said, frowning.
“We have no time for guessing! What do we do now?” I asked, turning to look at Shinya. He was our tracker, the one who could track Kyo down without any equipment. At least I hoped he could.
“Right” Shinya hesitated for a second, but then looked back at me, determination on his face. “We go back and find a way up the hill.”
At least that’s something.
We go back, not letting our guard down even for a second. After going along the edge of the cliff, we find a little narrow path and start climbing up. It takes too long for my liking, but finally we manage to get on the top of it and we turn back again, heading for the place the footprints disappeared on the ground underneath.
All of us follow Shinya. When we reach the place where the crater is down below us, Shinya starts looking around. I don’t really know what he’s looking for, it never was my specially of being a tracker, but Shinya’s very good at it. He looks around on the ground and soon starts heading forward and we follow, no questions asked.
Minutes go slowly and we just follow Shinya. It takes too long and I already start thinking if Shinya is just trying his luck and going approximately where he thinks they might have went. But a sudden exclamation makes all of us jump. Shinya turns back to us, looking exited.
“The tracks reappear here!”
I look at the ground and see a vague resemblance of footprints. If Shinya wouldn’t have pointed them out, I wouldn’t have noticed anything.
“I can’t see Kyo’s footprints” I frown.
“He’s being carried” Shinya points to one particular set of footprints on the ground.
“You sure?”
“Definitely” he nods and I don’t question anymore. We start following them and I pray we would find Kyo sooner. Knowing that he is in the hands of those crazed creatures who might do God knows what to him makes me very nervous.
Kyo is in their power and they can do whatever they want to him. They might hurt him.
My chest contracts from a sudden wave of nausea and pain.
I can’t bare even the thought of losing him.
Please, God, don’t let them hurt him. Don’t let them take him away from me.

***
It’s a huge building. It’s too huge for the four of us to get in and out safely. But looking at Kaoru’s face I know he doesn’t care about that. He’s going in, even alone, because Kyo is in there. There even are his footprints on the ground before the entrance.
I’m completely exhausted. It took us so long to finally reach this place. It’s not going to be any good if we get in not only because the place is huge and we’ll be outnumbered, but also because all of us are already half asleep and tired. I don’t even want to guess how many hours it took us to reach this place.
“Well, Die, where is the best place to get inside?” Kaoru asks me, looking very impatient and determined.
I want to tell him it’s too dangerous, that we should wait for the reinforcement, but I know that would most probably be a death sentence to Kyo. He wouldn’t survive this long. But I’m afraid if we entered, we wouldn’t escape either.
“Follow me” I mutter quietly, knowing there is no other choice.
I want to save Kyo as well, he is one of the few closest friends I have, but I just have a very bad feeling about it. Still, despite everything I make myself move and we make our way between the piles of rocks in the sand.
I find the best entrance for us – a sewer – and we get in. With some help from Shinya we make our way further until I find the opening and we get out from underground.
When I climb out of the hole, I find myself standing in what looks like a stockroom. There are rows of boxes and bags, and it’s freezing cold in here. I step closer to one of them and try to see what’s inside. It seems like some kind of frozen meat.
“Die, let’s go!” Kaoru’s urgent whisper startles me. I turn to look at him and see how pale and sick Toshiya’s face looks.
Kaoru also turns to look at Toshiya impatiently. Toshiya just staggers, and then glances at one of the bags near his feet.
“It’s human---” he says silently, but then his voice breaks and he has to stop for a second. “These are human body parts.”
I stare in shock at him, then look back at the closest bag near me. The bag is full of what looks like loads of human thighs.
Realization struck hard, but the only thing I do is look at Kaoru.
It’s hard to even describe the look on his face.
“Go, just go” Kaoru says, his voice sounding hard and cold.
We run through the whole freezer to the door at the end of the room. I prepare myself mentally to face tens of aliens, but when we get out of the freezer, we only see another stock room, this time full of empty boxes, bags and what not.
We hurry through this room again and just before Kaoru reaches for the handle, I stop him.
“Listen!”
We put our heads closer to the door.
“Sounds like machines working.”
“It must be the place where…” but Shinya stops talking and looks back at us, his face white as a sheet of paper.
“There’s no time” Kaoru says and silently opens the door.
We follow him close after. I only manage to see six strange transparent creatures and my hand moves on its own accord. I shoot one to the head and it falls down, his brains scattering around his head on the floor. At the same time three other aliens fall down shot to the head and I aim at another one. While I shoot just one, two fall down, apparently somebody else was as quick as me.
For a moment I don’t lower my gun, waiting for more of them to appear, but it all is silent, just the sound of the machines working reaches my ears. Maybe their security system is very thin after all. Or maybe it’s this part of a building that doesn’t need lots of it.
Kaoru moves too quickly for my liking, already heading for the machines and only now I take a good look at them. And the moment I do, I freeze to the spot.
Naked human bodies hanging upside down are being shifted like they were just pieces of meat. They all looked dead to me.
“Kyo!”
Kaoru’s scream startles me. I look at him alarmed, then make myself to move and put my hand on his mouth just as he is about to shout again.
“Kaoru, no!” I hiss into his ear.
He struggles and I release him from my grip.
Kaoru runs up to the slowly moving bodies, stops for a second, not knowing which way to go.
“Look for the switch to turn this off!” I say as silently as I can and we all scatter around, looking for the control device. It almost feels like looking for a needle in the hay, but suddenly the mechanisms moan loudly and all slowly comes to a halt. Shinya appears next to me and I almost put a bullet in his head.
“Die!” Shinya exclaims, lifting his hands into the air. “I found the switch!”
“Right, OK” I nod more to myself than him, lowering my gun.
I need to get a grip on myself, I’m falling apart too easily. It all gets to me – the exhaustion, adrenaline, fear and shock of what I’ve just witnessed.
I make myself to move, looking for Kyo. I pray that he’d be some other place, just not here. I don’t even let myself think of a possibility of it being too late and of Kyo being a part of those bags and boxes in the freezer.
Suddenly I hear Toshiya gasp and both me and Shinya run to him. There is no threat, thankfully. We find Toshiya standing at the edge of some huge barrel, looking down at it. We catch up to him, Kaoru tailing behind us.
I almost don’t want to look what’s inside, but I know I have to.
And it’s what I expected to see.
Headless human bodies, all in one huge pile. Mutilated bodies without their penises, with burnt skin, decapitated.
I look away, feeling sickness rise up my throat.
Suddenly Toshiya lets out a cry and steps back, looking horrified. I turn back slowly, not really wanting to see more of that macabre scene. But now, taking a second glance, I notice something that makes my body go numb.
There’s a body with hands and back covered in tattoos. The skin is burned and it’s impossible to say what the tattoos looked like exactly, but the shapes and contours of them look a lot like Kyo’s. I want to say look the same as Kyo’s, but I can’t. It can’t be him. It just can’t.
Kaoru suddenly turns around and runs along the track where headless bodies were transported from some other place to this huge barrel. I make myself move and follow him. I think I know where he’s going. Or what he’s looking for.
And just after a few seconds I see it – another barrel, not as huge as the first one, full of ---
I stop, not wanting to go any further.
Countless number of human heads lies in there. And in the very front of all of them, as if it has just fallen down, with fresh blood slowly dripping from it’s sides, I can see Kyo’s head, lying silently, lonely without it’s body.
It’s as if it was a surreal dream. Kyo’s eyes opened, huge, his skin burned, his face contracted into a grimace as if he still felt pain, his eyes lifeless and dead, but so very sad and tortured.
It must be a sick dream I’m having. There’s no other way to explain it.
And in this dream Kaoru slowly moves forward and kneels, reaches over all the heads and grabs Kyo’s one by his hair, pulls it out and cradles it gently in his arms, his gun lying next to him forgotten. I can’t see Kaoru’s face, but his hands tremble violently. He embraces what is left of Kyo and buries his face into burned and bloody black hair.
I can’t feel my legs at all. I don’t know how I manage to appear next to Kaoru, take his gun in my hands and grab his arm, pulling him to stand up.
“Move” I say to him harshly, not recognizing my cold dead voice.
Kaoru doesn’t object. He moves and that’s all that matters.
We make our way back and all the time I don’t let go of Kaoru’s hand, bruising his skin from gripping it too hard. I glance back just once, to make sure that Shinya and Toshiya are right behind us.
In no time we’re back in the freezer, then in the sewers, then out under the hot sun burning down on us and the lifeless land of sand and stone.
We run back, Shinya leading the way, even though our legs are numb from exhaustion. I hear my heart pounding in my ears, but I never let go of Kaoru. I don’t look at him to make sure it’s really him that I’m dragging with myself, but I hear his hard, ragged breathing and that’s more than enough for me.
We run and run and run.
We never stop, not even to take a sip of water.
We only stop when we finally get inside our spaceship and close the doors.
As if on silent agreement we take our places in our seats to prepare to take off. From the corner of my eyes I can see Kaoru heavily sitting down in his place, trying to catch his breath, but it takes Shinya’s shaking hands to buckle his seatbelt. Shinya closes his eyes the moment he has to shove his hands behind Kaoru’s ones still holding Kyo tightly. Shinya’s hands smear with blood and he looks as if he’ll throw up. But he manages to keep it in.
We take our places and with some minor mistakes take off.
Nobody leaves their places even when it’s safe to do so.
I stare at the countless stars before us, not wanting to avert my gaze anywhere else. The silence is eerie, I can only hear engines of our spaceship working.
The image of Kyo’s face stands before my eyes and I can’t get rid of it.
He must have been alive.
He must have been alive until the very last moment, feeling every little thing they did to him before they delivered the last blow.
And I can’t help but still hope that this is all just a nightmare and that Kyo will just pop in the control room and drag Kaoru away for some privacy, grinning at us cheekily.
Suddenly Kaoru moves and it startles me like nothing else. I slowly turn to look at him and see him unbuckling his seatbelt. His face is like a stone – cold and hard. He still looks so much in shock.
Kaoru slowly stands up and leaves the room, Kyo’s head in his hands all the time, pressed tightly into Kaoru’s chest as if it was the most precious and vulnerable thing in the whole universe.
I hear his footsteps all the way till our bedroom.
What comes next is unexpected.
Inevitable.
Painful.
Final.
Kaoru’s cry reaches every corner of the ship. His scream, filled with so much pain I’ve never heard before. He screams so hard and sad, as if tears were not enough, were not relieving enough.
Kaoru’s voice breaks in the middle, he gasps, takes a shuddering breath and wails again. His scream gets muffled, because he puts his face into Kyo’s messed up bloody and burned hair.
I can only imagine how his whole body hurts, how pain spreads from his chest into every cell of his body. And knowing nothing will make it go away, knowing that it will stay makes it so much worse.
“Oh God…” Toshiya’s voice reaches my ears, broken and dead.
I feel tears run down my cheeks, but my face remains emotionless. Just my lip quivers.
It won’t help anything if I let go and cried.
It won’t… bring him back.
I grit my teeth and keep the emotions inside.
It’s not only Kyo we lost. Kaoru is as good as dead as well. He will be the first one to get on the ship and head to destroy those things. He won’t ever calm down until there will be even one of those things walking alive.
And he won’t ever be the same.
Nothing will ever be the same.
I force the lump in my throat down and close my eyes for a moment. Tears refuse to stop floating down my cheeks, but I just don’t care.
I unbuckle my seatbelt and slowly reach over to take Toshiya’s hand in mine. I grab it and squeeze it, hoping it will be at least a slight comfort to him.
On my right Shinya cries silently, his face buried in his hands.
But I can only think of Kaoru in our bedroom, lying on the floor next to Kyo’s bunk, cradling Kyo’s head in his hands and feeling himself slowly die inside, his heart rotting and falling to pieces.
And I can only think of Kyo and his last moments of life.
And how we all failed him.
For the first time in my life cold, silent and vast space comforts me. It’s not as wide and empty as Kaoru’s heart must now be, but it’s pretty close to what I’m feeling right now.
Cold, dark and lifeless.

THE END

So… what do you think? Hope this was a good read, even if very angsty and ended like this… >_
