Silver chapter 7

Silver Chapter 7 “Lament”

Akito's POV

Akito woke up in a strange room it was actually a tent that had been set up as a makeshift hospital by the SLA “Akito you're up”he heard the voice was... Azami's “What happened”he asked his voice sounded a bit scratchy as if he hadn't used it in a while “You  don't remember?”she asked “We were fighting the enemy commander when...”she trailed off “I remember now Raiden. Is he okay!?”he said starting to get up but before he could she stopped him “Raiden's fine”she said trying to calm him “It's strange I can't remember anything after that”he said “You really can't remember?”she said sounding puzzled but there was something else in her voice was that...fear? “Do you really want to know?”she asked “Why does she sound like she's afraid of me?”he thought “After Raiden got hit what's the last thing you can remember” “I remember jumping at the Toxicroak then when I saw my paws I was using Shadow Claw but there was something else.. It wasn't just anger it was darker stronger I felt it grow then I blacked out”he said “I can't remember anything after that” “Well if you really want to know I'll tell you”she said “What happened was after you used Shadow Claw your eyes turned red and you went berserk at one point you got Toxicroak on the floor and you almost.. but then your eyes went back to silver and you passed out”she said somewhat apprehensively“That was three days ago” “Three days! I've been unconscious for three days!” he exclaimed “what about Satoru and Setsuko are they okay?”he asked “They're both fine Satoru's just got a nasty bruise,but Setsuko hasn't left Raiden since we got back”she replied “About Satoru he should be back by now” “He's taken over Setsuko's job at the storage so she could be with Raiden.”  “I should go get him to tell him you're up”she said”No I'll go tell him myself”Akito said starting to get up this time though Azami didn't stop him he stumbled a bit first but eventually he was able to walk without Azami's help. It took him twice as long as it usually did but he eventually got to the food storage. When he got there he saw Satoru working but looking a bit depressed Akito leaned against the door-frame he was about to say something when Satoru saw him and ran up to him practically tackling him “You're awake”Satoru shouted joyously “So does that mean that Raiden is up too”he asked his tail waging from side to side “Raiden is still...”he stopped “Akito during the fight you-” “Azami told me what happened”Akito interrupted “but let's not talk about that” “Do you know where Raiden is”Akito asked “Uh-huh, I'll take you there”Satoru replied. While they were walking  Satoru asked “So can you use Shadow Claw now?” “I don't know let me try”Akito replied he stopped and concentrated on focusing energy into his claws but gave up looking for after a few minutes “I guess not”he replied as they continued walking towards the tent. They walked in and saw Raiden laying on his side “Hey Akito you're finally up”he said in his usual demeanor “So how do you feel”Akito asked “Fine, it itches like hell though” he replied “Raiden why did you-” “Because, if we don't stick together. Then we're the same as them”he said before Akito could finish “But still I'd probably be-” “Relax I know you'd do the same thing for me, let's just say ya owe me one”he interrupted again “Deal” Akito said knowing from experience that there was no point in arguing but there was still one thing picking at his mind “hey Akito let's go eat” Satoru said “yeah come on Akito let's go”Raiden said starting to stand he noticed that Raiden's legs were trembling as if he were about to fall “Raiden hold on a second let me help you”Akito said helping Raiden walk just before he was about to fall back down. They made they're way to the mess when they got there they saw Azami and Setsuko sitting next to each other eating they got their food and sat down next to them they were all concentrated on eating until Setsuko broke the awkward silence “Hey I've been thinking”she started meekly “Since we've all survived this long maybe...”she didn't have to say anything else everyone (except Satoru) understood exactly what she meant that since we have all survived maybe the others did too “But how?” Azami asked “most of the adults probably didn't escape”Akito said remembering his mother “But remember Akito that was because they bought us time to escape”Raiden reminded him “But doesn't that mean that all of the kids were able to escape” Setsuko realized “but even if we did the rest could have been caught afterwards or died some other way”Akito said “But if there's even a chance then we have to try” Setsuko argued “Okay so lets say that this is Pax”he said drawing a square in the dust “Did anyone see where people ran”he asked “I saw someone while I was running they ran to the forest to the south”said Azami “I saw someone running while carrying something”Raiden said “That was probably me I think I heard someone to the southeast”Akito responded “I saw  a bunch of people running towards the East and I think a couple people to the North”Setsuko added meanwhile Akito was adding all this to the sketch “How come no one went West”he asked “because that's where they came from”Raiden answered “Hang on”Akito said “Notice what was in the directions they ran towards”he asked “Aren't those human ruins”Satoru said “Okay so I say we go to those places to see if anyone's there”Raiden said “At the very least we could get clues from anyone along the way”Azami added “Maybe we could make another town”Setsuko added hopefully “Well what're we going to call it”Raiden said “Why not just New Pax”Azami said bluntly “Guys let's cross that bridge when we get to it”Akito said “What ruin should we head for first”Setsuko asked “Let's just go to the closest one”Raiden said “That would be...Oreburgh City”Akito said trying to remember “Well then lets go there”Raiden said Impatiently “As much as I hate to admit it I agree”Azami said “I'm in”Setsuko said “Well then we're going to Oreburgh”Akito finished

well this was a long chapter and sorry about the mistake if were reading on fanfiction.net I couldn't fix it until recently also what do you think of Akito's mysterious use of shadow claw also fun-fact at one point I considered making Raiden comatose
