Archangel's Demise

A Dying Soul 8

Tashiro screaming in pain as Nataro keeps cutting him one slice at a time. "It's been 4 days, I would have expected them to be here by now," Nataro said. He slices Tashiro once more, "guess your friends don't care about you kid," Nataro said with a smile. Tashiro's face is looking down as blood runs down his chest and arms. "Why are you resisting? Just die..." Nataro said impatiently, "i-i-i-If I d-die... you'll go after the others" Tashiro stuttered while huffing. "I'd... rather take this pain... T-t-than to let... someone else feels this!" Tashiro shouted. Nataro shakes his head, "boy you are fighter, fighting for friends?""That's just an excuse for people to keep their sanity," Nataro said. Shaelin walks in the big room and stands next to Nataro, " haven't heard or seen my sister in miles, I don't think she took the bait" Shaelin said. Nataro begins to chuckle a bit, "You see Tashiro? I have friends... Where are your friends?" asked Nataro. Shaelin exits the room while Nataro continues to torture Tashiro, "hurry up and break so I can go onto your friend!" Nataro demanded. Tashiro looks at Kagame strung up from his hands unconscious. "N-n-no," Tashiro said with a slight grin, Nataro continues to slice Tashiro. "Where are your friends?" Nataro continued to ask, "Where, where, where-where!?" each time Nataro said where he gave Tashiro a slice on his body. An hour passes of Nataro slicing Tashiro and Nataro decides to take a break and leave. Tashiro sitting in the room alone with his head to the floor, "where are my friends" he said to himself over and over. Tashiro in a place in his mind, "why is it so dark in here?" Tashiro looked up and around. "You'd rather take the pain huh?" said someone in the darkness, Tashiro looked towards the place where the voice came from. "Who's there?" he asked, a corrupted image of Tashiro steps out of the darkness. "What are you?" Tashiro asked. "I'm you... well the stronger you at least," said the corrupt Tashiro. Black energy spirals around the corrupt Tashiro as he walks around the real Tashiro. "Why... why are you here? I'm an archangel, I banish you!" said Tashiro. " You're not just an Archangel kid.... you are also a demon." " A demon!?" Tashiro exclaimed, "No impossible!" "Your mother was the angel and your father was the demon," said the corrupt Tashiro. "Put two and two together genius" he taunted, Tashiro looked back down to the floor. "I guess that explains the black energy," Tashiro said, "let me out of here," Tashiro told the dark version of himself. "No kid... the reason behind that is..." "I'm just in your mind," the corrupted Tashiro said. Tashiro awakens to a stab in his chest from a sword. Tashiro screams in pain yet again, he looks up to see Nataro holding two swords in his hands. "If cutting you won't do it, then maybe stabbing you will," Nataro said while stabbing Tashiro yet again. "Will your healing factor save you in time?" Nataro asked, "let's find out, here, here, here, here, here!" as he stabbed Tashiro every time he said "here". Tashiro cried from pain, as Nataro was called to the door by one of his members, he puts the blade down and exits the room. Tashiro being in so much pain he grows unconscious. "You're gonna have to accept me, kid," said the dark version of himself. Tashiro lifts his head up, "where are my friends" he said. "This is a problem you'll have to get out of yourself," his demon side said. "Where are my friends, where are my friends" Tashiro kept saying.
