Chapter 8 - Darkness.

Bold Text = Japanese spoken

I slam the door to the rooftop opening, as I see trail of blood and blade scratches. There, I see Kyzou, in front of that sick bastard.. He is really Darkness. A shadow figure, with red glowing eyes, as they look like their are just floating. Yet, he wore a solid black cloak, over him with his hood dangling behind his neck. Kyzou, looked pretty damaged. Puddle of blood surrounds him, as he was breathing heavily. Zailura was the first to call out.

"Kyzou! Are you ok?!" Kyzou, tilt his head towards us, looking at us. He smirks at us, but then he collapse onto his knees, then onto his stomach.. Kyzou..? No. He's not dead. I'm not believing that! I unclip my sword and unsheathe it. Zailura did the same, as we stood back to back, facing at Darkness. I grip tightly on my sword, yet I can see him smirk. "How many years have it been, Katsu?" I can hear Zailura gasp quietly, must be surprised of how we know each other. He rub his chin, as he flick the blood of Kyzou off his scythe. "You must've gotten strong, right? Strong to protect those dear to you." I felt like a guard dog. I see an enemy, I growl at him. 

"By the way, Katsu. Are you the one protecting Haruko?" You gotta be kidding me, I don't understand alot of Japanese! Yet, it makes sense for him to speak this language, comparing i'm in the country. I ignore his question, yet he smirks, like he knows the answer. 

"Guess you are." I can't take this nonsense. I just can't. I grip on my sword, as I felt it's vibration, wanting blood. If you want blood, let me give you Darkness's. Zailura and I instantly dash at him, as I charge at him left and she charge at him right. We swing our sword horizontal at him, but he evade back. Zailura was the first to leap at him afterwards, but Darkness instantly performed a roundhouse kick, kicking her at the face and pushing her back. "Damn you!" I scream, as I charge at him. I swing my sword at him multiple time, yet he blocks and deflects my hits with his scythe. I began swinging at him more rapidly. He can block my hits, alright. But he can't block it fast enough with that long ass stick! His eyes widen, then he whacks me from the bottom of his scythe. I cough out small amount of blood, as I fly back. Luckily, I landed on my feet. Damn, he must've know I was trying to go fast. But if he's far aware of that, is that his weakness? I see him cast a sphere of Darkness at me- Oh crap! I evade to the left, dodging the orb, as it impacts into the fence, destroying the fence around the rooftop. That was close, I have to pay attention- I was suddenly stabbed through the chest/stomach, hitting one of my rib cage. I look what I was stabbed out, as it was a scythe. I cough out at less a gallon of blood. I felt that he stabbed me, doing a upward swing, as he lifts me in the sky. He threw him towards the fence, as I impact at them on my back, which fucking hurts.. I land on my stomach after impacting to the fence, as I still grip onto my sword.

"You still need training." I hear him say, with a mocking type of tone. I slowly stood up, stumbling along the way. I can't give up. This is my chance for avenges. I dash at him again, swinging my sword at him again. He blocks my hits, then kicks me at the stomach, which I slid back one meter. I frontflip towards him, swinging my blade downwards at him, which surprised him. He evade to the right, yet I cut his shoulder. A tiny blade cut is what I accomplish, I feel fucking proud. Yes, that was sarcasm. He grunts then performs a twirl kick, as he kicked me at the face and I flew back three meters. I impact to the ground head first, then I leap onto my feet. I felt blood over my head- yet I seek something that surprised me. Zailura slammed her blade at him, as Darkness was almost off guard, yet he blocked the attack with his scythe's handle. "Jeez, girl. You gave me a heart attack." He slam his scythe at her, as it cuts her forehead, then punch her back to the fence gate. Shit.. I see Kyzou stand up slowly, gripping on his sword. I must join him.. But my body just feels numb and weighted down. I got onto my knees, I feel that shaking. I stood up afterwards, ignoring the numbness and shaking over my legs. I dash at Darkness, as he swung his blade at him. I duck downwards, as I swing my blade at him, deflecting his scythe and moving it upwards. Now, Kyzou!

Kyzou leap behind him, as he slam his blade downwards at Darkness. Darkness, grip on the blade with his bare hand, ignoring the cut that impacted in his hand. "Really, you guys are annoying." He slam the blade downwards towards the ground, including Kyzou, which was gripping on the handle the whole time. Wait, now! I thrust my blade at him, while he was distracted. I see him glare at him, then kicks me at the waist while evading to the left. I only cut his side of the waist. Damn it. Stop with these baby cuts! He grabs me by the throat and held me up. I can't... Breathe. I feel like im going to lose my air of determination and strength. "Your a dragon. Or you have the element of one. A specific type of fire element, eh?" He chuckles, then he whips me back. My feet slid on the floor while I was flying back, then I crashed softly? I felt blood dripping off my forehead and mouth. My chest, from that upward swing attack, was already dripping gush of blood. I look over my shoulder slowly, because I felt so tired. My eyes can't stay opened. My eyes widen a bit, and twitched of who I saw... H-Haruko. She gaze at me with her cold eyes. Her eyes represents herself being ice-cold to people, but her face looked worrisome. "Katsu.." I hear her mutter. I scoff a bit. I want to laugh, of how this I got into her arms as a welcoming, yet I felt pain inside me.I cough more blood, onto the pavement floor. I can't keep my eyes opened anymore longer. I can hear her say. "Hang in there, Katsu." I tilt my head a bit, and I look at her. I can see her put her loosen hair behind her ear, as she watches Darkness. "Haruko.." She looks downwards at me. She still has that beautiful gaze of her. Everything on her, lips, eyes- I can't. I felt more blood in my throat. In my wounds, lurking an exit. "Why are you here.." She stared at me, blinking and such. Does she even understand the question? I sigh. I wait for a respond, but I see her mouth, form into a smile. "You had a liking on me." She said in Japanese. SHIT. I JUST EMBARRASSED MYSELF.. "Idiot" I hear her said. She smiles at me, again as she flick me at the forehead. She lay my head on her lap, as she still watches Darkness. Why is she watching Darkness instead of fighting? Not that im rejecting her comfortable lap. I see Kyzou and Zailura, in front of us, as they face Darkness. "You can count on us!" Zailura shouted, looking over her shoulder. I look at Kyzou, as he was looking over his shoulder, looking at us. He smirks, and gave me a thumbs up. This time, he spoke Chinese at me? Only me and him understood it because we took lessons of it, but we weren't from Chinese. "Work hard to have her with you." Huh? WHAT? "Kyzou, you idiot! Me and her are not in that type of relationship! Faggot!" He chuckles, as he spoke English now. Thank god. Whenever he spoke Chinese to me, it meant he wants to keep it a private conversation between me and him. "Heh." Then both of them turn away from us, as they face Darkness. Watching them together, they seem like a great co-operative team. "Hey.. Katsu?" I look upwards at Haruko. "I didn't know you speak Chinese." I grin a bit, but I still felt the pain that lacks inside me. I stare at Kyzou and Zailura, as they charge at Darkness together, like a synchronized team.
