Six Feet Under

Chapter 18: overdose.

three days later the tournament resumed as if nothing happened, however, Shades changed. He became static He would go from one fight to another when needed to and disappear to go next to Yuno's bedside. It got to a point even Ivan asked Shades to put more emotions into his fights to at least get hit once and then knock out his adversary. Shades did not give two shits about what Ivan said. However, he did say his first word in three whole goddamn days. He told Ivan to go shove his diamond cane up his arse. If I had to describe him right now it would be as a machine that was designed to kill his foes in one hit. I was surprised he had the energy to even fight since he did not eat and rarely drink water. He would only drink enough to sustain himself. he is overthinking what happened if he continues like this he'll only get hurt.

Shifting to Shade's point of view.

For the past three days, A-Jack has been going overboard with his trained he trained day and night. I should not have shown him the extent of my capacities. He even uses the tournament rounds as training.  He got hit so often I am sure he lost a few brain cells.  He did not lose his appetite, however. He is eating enough for two men.  That fatass even asked Ivan to be able to fight my fight. I accepted to let him take a few only because it meant i would next to Yuno longer. This much training will surely make him go through a meltdown.  If he continues like this he'll only get hurt and exert himselft.

Shifting to A-Jack's point of view.

Ivan Announced that soon very soon the next few matches would be in teams of two.  I can't even imagine how me and Shades are gonna fight together.  We haven't even spoken to each other since that day. I know I did a mistake however I was not the only one and he shows no signs of regret whatsoever.  So why should i be the one to excuse myself.

1 week later.

The team battles are official the will start this afternoon. We will be up against a random contract killers with no affiliations. Knowing Shades he will wait for them to get close enough to be able to slice them in one hit. However I won't let that happen. He may not say it but he is not used to using a simple longsword. When the battle started I rushed the opponents and stood in front of them to provoke them. They went on my taunt and started hitting me. I took three hits and punched the guy in front of me. He went flying and Shades jump up in the air and sliced him in half. The other guy had a gun and shot straight in the leg, then the arm, and then in the ribs. I took the three hits and punched him in the throat. He fell down instantly. The audience was silent no one spoke. Everyone knew that I was using this tournament as a play thing and that Shades didn't give a shit. when we exited the arena Shades grabbed my arm to which I flinched i turned around calmly he then spoke. 

"could you do me a favor"

I was surprised but I still answered.

"depends on what it is."

He then said softly.

"Can you watch over Yuno I need to go eat. Don't worry I'll bring you something with me."

I told him he could go stuff his face and that he did not need to worry. I left him and rushed for the infirmary. Upon my arrival Yuno was still unconscious. The good news was that she did not need assistance to breath. Now I just had to stay there and watch over her. Of course i was not going to stop my training so I stood up and shadow boxed. When Shades arrived he had three full bags of food with him and he looked revived. He first looked at Yuno and he sighed. He must have been relieved that nothing happened. I stood up and grabbed only one bag and told him.

"the rest is for you I don't need the food as much as you do."  

I was about to exit the room when an idea crossed my mind. I turned around and grabbed Shades by his collar and told him to follow me even though I was dragging him. He looked at me and said.

"What  do you want you, oversized whale."

"what I want is you to join me in the arena in twenty minutes in exchange I'll owe you."

Shades looked at me for thirty seconds and said "Don't be late."

I then left running and went to my room. I grabbed his sword, grabbed some food, and went to the arena.
