Six Feet Under

Chapter 17: The Fight

Shade's point of view

I stabbed, killed, burned, hung, exploded, and did so much more to many individuals. Through all of it, I never felt an ounce of remorse. However, hearing that whispered scream echo through the hallways made me feel guilty. However, I could not stop there. If I did not go on with the procedure she would die anyway. I then ripped my shirt in half and used it as a rag to put pressure on the wound. 

"Fucking 375$ gone like that. It did not even have the time to start getting impregnated with my smell."

now to make sure she has more chances of living I will have to use my homemade coagulant powder: benevolence.

" Now listen to me Yuno I am going to use a coagulant agent on your stab wound it won't do much. But it's better than nothing"

I  wipped out my sword, seized the hilt and unscrewed the bottom lid. I then made sure to carefuly spread the powder evenly. I turned around feeling a precense getting near us.

"it must A-Jack let's hope he brought something good to lift her up with."

 I then saw him runnning towards a plank under his warm sweating as much as a triatlon runner. He stopped running got close and put the plank next to me with panic in his eyes.

Shifting to A-Jack's point of view.

Upon my arrival I looked at Shades dead in the eyes. They were cold. However it wasn't an empty void. It was a frozen type of fear. He also looked angry very angry. I stopped dead in my tracks and placed the plank next to Yuno. Shades stood up and said with a shaken up  voice.

"You know what bringing this plank entitles." 

I was gonna answer but he did not let me a second to breath. He barked at me wuth anger.

"It means YOU will have to lift this plank with YUNO on it. While I make sure she does not bleed out."

 I was going to get mad at him however considering the situation i clenched my fist and answered coldly.

"Yes I already knew what bringing this piece of junk meant . So don't worry I am not completly stupid. Just your information I can lift  up to 250 kg with both my arms. Now if you could help me put her on the plank instead of yelling it would be much appreciated."

He was going to add sommething but he stopped his train of thought and crouched down and helped me put Yuno  on the plank. I then told him to get on the other side of the plank and lift it on the count of three.

"One. Two. Three." We stood up as fast as we could without harming Yuno

"Now listen to me Shades I'm going to go under the plank and you stabilize it while im under it when i'm ready to go i'll tell you."

I then went under the piece of wood and started to stabilize it with the help of Shades. 

"Okay im good to go. Dont let go of her wound." 

Now you might think that going to the infirmary was an easy path to take. However it wasn't easy at all. I had to stay low enough for Shades to be able to monitor Yuno  and high enough to be able to get some speed. During the entire ordeal, my body was aching and yelling for mercy.  I was sweating and the board would slip up once in a while and i'd have to get a better grip or else she'd fall that implied that my hands got cut up by splinters.Half an hour later we arrived. I was so concentrated that upon arrival Shades had to kick me out of my trance or i would have probably stayed crouched even after they had taken Yuno inside. I noticed that Shades was bleeding from his hand he gripped the cloth so tightly he tore right through and cut his own palm with his nails. I walked towards him and told him to stop or he'd hurt himself. He stopped looked at my hands and answered back.

"You are not better. Give me your hands i'll put some Benevolence powder on them it will help with the bleeding."

Of course i knew that he was trying to change the subject so I answered with annoyance in my voice.

"I don't need any of your magic powder. However you look like you could use some."

Right at that exact moment a nurse appeared out of nowhere and told us not to fight in front of the establishment. Shades with a cold stare spoke softly: 

"I do not fight with anyone weaker than me."

Of course with all that happened i did not think before speaking and barked at him with anger:

"Weaker than you I was the one holding the 50 kilo plank and the 70 kilo dying human while you were doin nothing."

I did not see him get close to me I did not feel anything up until I came into contact with the wall behind me. He punched me, the bastard punched me out of nowhere. I wasn't thinking anymore I did not care what would happen afterwards. All I knew is that I needed to punch his face in. I dashed at him while doing a  jink maneuver going left to right in a matter of seconds. However he read right through my footwork and launched me right the wall behind him. Now  I was ready to kill him. I did not care if it meant losing my ribs. However before i could even take a step Shades took out his bastard sword and whispered.

"Stay down."

Of course I answered with the most logical sentence known to mankind while standing up.

"yeah fuckyourself."

He then swung his sword and the next thing i knew his blade was one quarter of an inch away from my left foot. He then said with a quivering voice.

"I couldn't even help my one friend with what right do i call myself stronger than you. You did what I failed to do. And this enfuriates. This has hit my pride as a contract killer, a friend, a human and as myself ." He then ungripped his sword that was drenched wth his blood and left crying. I stood there like a shit. I felt like the worst scum on this planet. I took the sword and went the other way.
