Flames of a Bloody Angel

Stronger

Ever since my brother and I were little, we've always been able to see 'ghost'.Of course I was always afraid of them while my big brother on the other hand would connect with them.Then again they were ghost of demons. My older brother could see them more easily than I, but that might because of Nii-san's different colored eyes. His right blue orb always had a look of cold, being distant and dark, in a way matches his personality when we're around people, the 'outsiders' as our mom put it. The green orb was the opposite, shining brightly with hope.I like that eye, it makes me feel a little closer to Nii-san's true nature that I see. He was always stronger than me.

Aikara's POV

Clash!Cling! I pant slamming the sword Dokoku gave me at his so-called Reaper claws. He stands there drinking tea, grinning like a cat. "Hehe why not use your claw,Aikara? "He calls placing his tea down. "Tch, I'll never use those things."I mutter trying to hide my hint of fear. "Oh at least try."he smirks. "Just take me home."I shout slashing back his claw. "Hmm.Now why would you want to go back to that miserable little life?"he raise a brow. "My brother of course! "I replied. Dokoku sighs as he retracted his claws back into his body as he sits. "Very well then, child . I'll let you go."he mutters taking another sip of his tea.

Hiro's POV

I just stand there,uselessly, watching Shiki fight. The water that swirls around her, whips around and slice the bullets in half as the boy shoots. "Ha is that the best you got?"Shiki taunt, whipping a stream of water at the boy. The boy shoots at an angle upwards and then in front towards Shiki.While she blocks the one in front,he shoots at the ground at an angle causing the bullet to bounce upwards. Following its path,the bullet hits the one that was shot upward,making it shoot downwards towards Shiki's blind spot,her back."SHIKI!"I quickly grab a pipe and ran behind her,holding the pipe up to block as the bullet hurls towards us.It spins faster and faster til it burst into flames.Oh no. Right as the flaming bullet makes contact with the metal near my hand,it pushes me back. Strange enough the flames didn't hurt even though it engulfs my hand. I threw the pipe as the flames gradually goes out as I join Shiki. "Thanks,Hiro."she smiles before focusing back to the battle at hand. Upon seeing the flames, the boy backs away into the shadows, disappearing. "Dang it, he got away."Shiki mutters as the water turns back into snow."Aikara!"I shout looking around, running further into the alleyway.I kept shouting his name,getting louder and louder until Shiki placed her hand on my shoulder with a sad expression."I'm sorry,Hiro.But he's gone."She sigh looking at the ground. I slapped her hand away."No.He can't be gone.He just can't."I explain getting teary eyed. "Hiro that man kidnapped Aikara. We have to tell an adult.Maybe they can help get him back." Shiki shouts. Agreeing,I loom at the ground as we walked to my place.

Once at home,mother greets us with a smile. "Hey Hiro. I see you brought a friend huh?"she chuckles letting Shiki and I inside. I sigh,not wanting to break the news to her. "Hmm?What's with the long face,kiddo? I was only joking."She pats my head. I pushed her away and sat down on the couch. "What's wrong? "She asked sitting next to me while Shiki stands on the wall,holding her arm.Tears ran down my face. "Aikara gone. He was kidnapped."I cried. Her face snaps into concern and anger as she pulls me into a hug. "Don't worry,Hiro. He'll come back. "She says softly in my ear.

??? POV

After Hiro went to sleep and Shiki leaves, I put on my reaper outfit as I start to make my way out the door. "Taking my son was the worse mistake they ever did."I mutter pulling down my sleeve. I walked into the street, following Aikara's spirit energy into a alleyway. I stop at the entrance, glaring as a familiar present appears behind me. "Should've know you were behind it.Kidnapping one of my boys." I growl. The man behind me chuckles, the chuckle of a man without a true purpose nor goal. "My my Dearly . You've changed, my queen.Or should I say,could have been queen." Dokoku grin walking towards me. With a outstretch of my arm,my scythe swirls into my hand in a burst of energy as I grab the staff part of it. The blade was curved to his neck. "Stay away or I'll cut you to pieces."I threat tilting my weapon, causing the blade to curl around his neck. "Aw So cold."he grins as he stops. "Aren't you suppose to be training my brother's son?His son is the next heir to the throne."I asked. "Tch, that runt isn't the true king I've been searching for. You should've been queen but you threw it all away."Dokoku argues. "Heh, a queen's life isn't much fun.Now hand over my son. "I mutter getting angry. "Aikara is the true king. I've seen the signs and you can't deny that fact."Dokoku argues. Now he's really pissing me off. My once blue hair slowly turns red to match my eyes. "You're not dragging my son into that world. "I growl,glaring at his soul. "You've been training him, haven't you?"he asked. "Only training him to control the madness that comes with not eating souls.Since o refuse to let him get caught up in this world."I reply. "You don't have a choice whether he becomes a Grim Reaper or not."He replied. With the snap of my wrist,I swing my weapon at him but Dokoku leaps up in mid-attack. The scythe swings back over to me and I catch the blade only using two fingers effortlessly. "So you still know how to use the royal family scythe huh?" Dokoku grins as he lands on a roof. "Heh, well it did choice me as it's new master over my older brother."I reply in mid-leap. In a split second I was in front of Dokoku however he surrounds himself in rose petals to hide himself as I slash. I only hit the petals and the wind that swirl the petals around me."Haha just like old times, huh?" He grins from the sky. I don't have time for this.I need to get Aikara. I leap up towards Dokoku. "Where is he?!" I swing my scythe quickly, only using the blunt side of the blade. The blade made contact with his side blasting him back into a building. As I land, a flash of a version appears in my head.It was of Aikara. He was leaning on a window panel, staring out the window sighing. My eyes widen knowing that he's safe, I gave out a sigh of relief. "Happy now,He's safe and sound."Dokoku laughs. "Shut up."I glare. "I'll be right back . There's a little something I must do first . Hehe and you're not going to like it."he laughs disappearing.

Hiro POV

I wait til I was sure mom was sleep for I sneak out of bed. I have to find nii-san.I grab a bag and packed it up with supplies to search for him. Flashlights,daggers,maps,and lots more. I left through the back door and into the streets. I met up with Shiki and we head it into the night of the city.

After hours of searching, I finally get a spark of energy in my chest like last time. "I think I found him."I mutter. I drag Shiki towards the trail I see, leading me somewhere. Right then I see, a boy with white hair walking down the street with his hands in his pockets. ...NII-SAN! Without hesitation I run up to him and hug him from behind. Even though his hair is different, I didn't care. "Nii-san! "I cried. "Huh?..Hiro?"his eyes widen seeing me and smile. Shiki walks over to us and chuckles. "Looks like you guys missed me alot,eh?"he chuckled brushing his hands through his hair with a goofy smile. "Big brother. "I cried with tears flowing down my face. He turns around to face us and hugs me back. "You don't have to cry. I was coming back, hehe crybaby."he jokes wiping my tears away. After a while I stop hugging and smile as he holds my hand."Let's go home,k."Aikara say to me as Shiki joins us. But suddenly I start seeing blood.

Aikara's POV

I stare in shock as Dokoku stab Hiro right I'm front of my eyes. That's when I SNAP! "RRAAAHH, You wanted to see me fight for real, now you got one . I'll KILL YOU!"I roar as a burst of killing intent burst from under my feet,blowing my hair as my eyes turns red, glaring at him,as I talked. "Aikara, No!" It was too late as I was lost in my madness.

My Reaper claws burst out from my shoulder blades as I roar, blasting one at Dokoku. He counterattacks with one of his but I manage to throw him through a building or two. Wind stained with red and the smell of blood swirls around my arm before forming something in my hand. A scythe who's blade was hidden behind a strong swirling gust of red wind. At the end of the handle,there was a long red ribbon that wraps around my arm as I held the handle. Dokoku stares in amazement. "That's not the family scythe....Amazing. One of the few Grim Reaper to create their own-" before he could finish, I flash in front of him and slash his left arm off."WHA!?" He quickly leaps away from me. "So quick. "He mutters.
