Chapter 31: Pass
Sasuke and Ryuu hid in another ally way. It was about midnight. Two other people were looking for them.
"This sucks." Ryuu whispered trying to calm down his breathing.
"I agree I really wish this test would just end." He said looking out of the ally.
"Hey." Someone grabbed Sasuke's shoulder and he jumped.
"Noelle don't scare me like that." He huffed embarrassed that he jumped.
"Sorry so how are you guys doing?" She asked.
"You could put it this way in about 32 hours we're going to flunk this sucker." Ryuu stated flatly.
"Do you know where it is?" Sasuke asked.
"No sorry we're still looking for it too but we can't find anything." She answered a little disappointed.
"Thanks for trying though." Ryuu said trying not to look at her.
She kissed Ryuu on the cheek "Good luck you two."
Then she hugged Sasuke "I'll see you guys back at the academy." Then she disappeared.
Sasuke started snickering.
"What's so funny?!" Ryuu snapped.
"You're blushing because you got a peck on the cheek." He kept snickering.
"Shut up." Ryuu looked away. "If I recall correctly you were blushing when Zoe was on the bed with you."
"You see there's an explanation for that…" He blushed.
"Ha pay backs a bitch isn't it?" Ryuu smirked.
"Fine we're even now can we drop it?"
~12 hours later~
"Damn it. Where could it be?" Sasuke huffed making his foot fidget.
"Calm down; you're making the temperature around us rise." Ryuu sighed looking up at the leaves.
"Sorry." He stopped fidgeting. "Where haven't we looked?"
"The public pool, But that place has to be crowed."
Sasuke ran his fingers threw his hair. It was hot even for him. "Why the hell is it so hot?" He complained.
"I think this is apart of the test." Ryuu slouched on the bench. "This sucks and the pool is five miles away. It'll take all day to get there in this heat. Could things get any worse?"
"Hello Ryuu, Sasuke." Kyle snickered pointing his fire blade in Ryuu's face.
"You just had to say something didn't you?" Sasuke sighed.
"RUN!" Ryuu shouted kicking Kyle.
As Kyle stumbled his blade caught Ryuu's leg. They ran behind a building one hundred meters away. Ryuu bent down and grabbed his leg in pain.
"You alright?" Sasuke questioned.
"I'll be fine." Ryuu gritted his teeth as he placed pressure on his leg.
Sasuke ripped the sleeves off from his shirt and tied them around Ryuu's leg. Then he pulled out the d-tector.
"What are you doing? We're not aloud to use them." Ryuu stated trying to get up.
"There's no way you can run five miles in your condition and unless we want to get caught in about thirty seconds I really don't have much of a choice." He quickly slashed the fractal code. "Exicute Beast Spirit Evolution."
"Sasuke are you insane? Now all of them know where we are."
'They have to keep up if they want to catch us though.' He grabbed Ryuu and took off.
"They're heading towards the pool." Kyle ordered into the microphone.
"Rogger."
"I think we can set down here." Ryuu suggested.
Shards of ice hit Sasuke and Ryuu. Sasuke's arms started having spasms and lose there grip. Then a fire ball hit him in the temple and they started free falling. Ryuu grabbed Sasuke and pulled him in.
"Damn it this isn't good." Ryuu looked down at the fast approaching water.
Takuya took over and right before they hit rotated spots with Ryuu back flopping into the water. Takuya sank to the bottom.
'Why can't I swim up?' He looked at the surface as it seemed to get further away.
"Ryuu something's coming."
An electric shock went threw the water. Some air escaped from his mouth and he started sinking.
'No this can't be happening. We were so close.'
"Ryuu switch."
'Alright; be careful.'
They switched places and Koji waited to hit the bottom so he could push off. Kyle stabbed his sword into Koji's shoulder and pushed off of him.
"Damn…" The rest of the air bubbles escaped and floated to the top of the water with his blood following.
The two of them landed on the floor in Riuuk's office. Riuuk waved a hand over the two and they started coughing up water.
"You knew…" Takuya coughed dedigivolving.
"I had to test you. It was the only way. You passed." Riuuk mentioned.
"Ahhhh!" Koji tried gripping the floor as his and Ryuu's bodies kept switching on there own.
"Koji. Guh!" Takuya stretched his hand out to Koji but the same thing started happening to him.
"Takuya hold on. You're going to be alright. Just hold on." Riuuk said before Takuya lost consciousness.
