Ficlet - Speechless (CXR)
I managed to get the first one done. ^__________^ Enjoy!

Speechless
Is it at all possible to remain calm when you and your greatest enemy are trapped in a confined space? We could fight but that would be pointless on my end. He would use that odd ability he has to see my attack coming and stop me easily with that damn mocking smirk on his face. One of the subordinates of the man Weiss was assigned to kill had tricked Yohji into accidentally trapping us all. Our communicators had ceased to function. I’m guessing he set off some electrical mechanism.
I’m going to kill him if I ever get out of here.
The room I’m locked in with that clairvoyant bastard is the office of the man we had to kill. When I had arrived, there was already a bullet in the man’s head and Schwarz’s leader was leaning against the front of the desk, arms crossed over his chest. His glasses had somehow glinted in that eerie way they often do. How that is even possible with the lights being off is beyond me. We had begun to fight and only a minute into it did the door to the office lock. The windows just so happened to be bullet-proof. We had stopped fighting and called a temporary truce. I still don’t trust him though.
I am currently standing by the window, glancing out at the scenery. Every so often my gaze focuses on the reflection of the other male. He is leaning against the desk like he had been. His eyes are closed and his mouth is pulled into a slight frown. Either he hadn’t seen this coming or his focus is elsewhere. I let my eyes close for a second to try and relax my nerves a small percentage.
“We’re going to be here for at least another hour.” I open my eyes and send the coldest glare in his direction.
Golden brown locks with amethyst. It’s easy to see that he’s not happy about this either.
“Didn’t see this coming, did you, Oracle?” His eyes narrow slightly. “To have control over everything and then in one second, it’s gone. Just like at the ocean.”
I’m assuming his teammates will be here at the hour mark. If I’m going to die, I might as well make this worth it. Aya is finally out of the hospital after what these bastards had done. I guess this is the only form of revenge I can actually succeed in.
“If you were smart, you would hold your tongue and mind your own business.” His eyes harden, still locked with mine.
“You’re not as strong as you think.”
He moves then, long strides taking him to me. He is merely a foot away and I have to arch my neck back to keep our eyes locked. Now that he is close, I unsheathe my katana. Of course, he sees the action and holds my hands so the katana doesn’t even come out half way. He pushes it back in then delivers a fist to my cheek. It sends me falling to my side. He picks up my fallen katana, unsheathes it, and places the tip against my slowly bruising cheek.
“Stand.” I do as told.
He lowers his hand and steps closer to me. I refuse to back down. “You’re just as useless as Weiss without your vision.”
“If words and force will not quiet you, perhaps a different method is necessary.”
“Different…meth-” The rest of the word is cut off when his lips press into mine.
My eyes go wide and I’m frozen where I stand. Our eyes are still locked over the kiss. It only lasts for a few seconds before he pulls back and turns from me. My katana is on the floor at my feet but I still can’t move…and any words that I was planning to let out are caught in my throat.
I don’t move until that hour mark arrives and he leaves with his team. My thoughts ran in constant circles the entire time.
I guess Yohji will live after all.
