Fade to Death

Chapter 16: Hakyuu, the evil that destroys him.

I'll find him... Kira thought as he walked through the infinite red clouded sky.  

"Hakyu! Get the hell down here you whinny bastard!" Kira cursed at the sky. 

"I'll give you my body for your power! Just get the hell down here!" he continued.

"La Muerte te escucha, bastardo. Que quereis?" a voice spoke from a distance.

"What? Can you speak a little more English!?"

"I said 'The Death hears you, bastard. What do you desire?'" The voice resonated.

"I want the power to kill the witch!! Your power."

"Pode-I mean- Power, you say? Why do you specifically want mine?"

"Can you show yourself? It's weird talking like this." 

"I've been behind you this whole time."

A shadow appeared, wearing a long black cape-ish coat with a hood. 

"Not bad. For a mere representation of my mind."

"Ha ha, don't kid yourself, this ain't as badass as we'll get."

"You should've added thunder for dramatic effect."

"Nah, check this out. INFIERNO!"

Hakyu was covered in black and red flames.

"Cool! How do I do that?!"

"Prosthetic fire, twenty bucks on Ebay. Bought 'em while you were in that mini coma two days ago."

"I'm not even gonna ask how-"

"I'm kidding!" 

"Oh thank god." Kira relaxed.

 "I bought 'em last month not two days ago, dummy!" 

Kira facepalmed.

"Now, back to business." Hakyu said.  (SIDE NOTE: i've just wasted ten minutes of my life on this. Yee pee... -_-)             

"So, you want my power?" He asked curiously.

"I have to find the witch and the only way is to inherit power. My own power was denied to me, so I have no choice but to take yours." Kira explained.

"Take? HA! Give to me your vessel, and I shall give you my power." Hakyu corrected.

"Vessel? I mean, who uses that word anymore?"

"Oh, shut up."

"Anyways, I'm prepared to do so. But you so much as kill someone--"

"Ha, this is something that will benefit both of us! I get to kill a bitch and you get the satisfaction." Hakyu grinned.

"I never said I wanted the satisfaction. I want information on someone." 

"Oh, really? Hmm, Interesting. And is that 'someone' your old lover?"

"Well, you know the answer to that. Don't you?"

"Touche, my friend, touche."

"Anyways, I'll come back later. I have to be on my way. Speak nothing of this to the others."

"The others won't even get close to me! Ha ha ha!" 

Kira walked into the distance and slowly appeared back to the tied up bed. He was suprised to see that the chains that tied him down were broken. 

"You're welcome." he heard a voice say. 

Hakyu, that crazy bastard... he thought, chuckling. He walked to the door, opened it and leaned against the door frame. There, he saw Kiki and Marsha fighting. 

"Training, I pressume?" he asked, with a smirk.

Both of them stopped and turned their heads toward him. They both looked confused. 

"How'd you--"

"Get out? I have my ways." Kira said.

"Now then, I guess I'll be on my way." Kira started to walk down the three creaky steps.

"Hold it! Where are you going?" Marsha asked, adding emphasis on the "you". Kira stopped on the last step and replied:

"Oh, I dunno... I thought I could go hunt some elephants."

"I don't need the sarcasm." Marsha stated disappointedly.

'You know where I'm going. That bitch is gonna die."

"Oh, so you know where she is?" 

"I'll find her somehow." 

"How? You don't have any leads, Kira. I mean you--"

"Woah, woah, woah! Your name's Kira?" Kiki interrupted.

"Yeah, so?" Kira said uncaringly. 

Kiki started laughing unexpectedly. "That's a girl's name!" she giggled. 

"Way to break the serious conversation, Kiki." Marsha and Kira said disappointedly. 

"I'm sorry, it's just that..." Kiki started laughing again, and finally stopped when she saw Kira and Marsha staring at her exasperatedly.

"Anyways," Marsha said, turning back to Kira. 

"How'd you get the others to approve?"

"Let's just say I took care of it." Kira replied. 

"I guess I can't stop you. This time, I wouldn't know how. Leave if you want to, but don't come back."

 "My pleasure." Kira said, putting on the shirt he had on his shoulder. 

"But--"

"Let him go, Kiki. It's his fate." Marsha interrupted Kiki before she could stop him. 

They both saw as Kira disappeared into the eerie side of the forest.

Well, I've been too generous this time, I gave you guys a great hint! So, I'll tell you one more thing: A special guest shall be reappearing in the next chapter. Someone who clearly hasn't appeared long enough to convince you guys that this is a love square, triangle, or pentagon? O.o     Teehee!                                                 ~V.P.
