Ch. 4: Confrontation

"Why are you in my room?" asked Trystan, clearly angry that his privacy has been broken. "More importantly," Skyzor said. "Why do you have a hickey on your neck?" Trystan quickly covered the spot where Violette kissed him. "That is none of your business," Trystan stated. Skyzor had a smirk on his face. He knew he was getting on Trystan's nerves.

"This is a pretty cool room. A bit darker than mine, but still cool," said Skyzor. The walls of Trystan's room are colored black. He had a self that contains multiple books. Half of them are manga while the other halves are books about magic. The self also contains multiple DVDs of different anime. At the corner is a safe that contains different technological weapons he had Steven built. Across Trystan's bed is a flat screen T.V. with a DVD player and X-Box hooked up into it.

"Like I said before, get out of my room," Trystan stated, but a bit louder. "There is something that I have to discuss with you first Trystan," said Skyzor. "What is it?" the younger brother asked. "Why weren't you at the party?" Skyzor asked. "Because I was actually doing something fun," said Trystan. "Why would I come to the party? I can tell it was no fun being here." "Mom was waiting for you," Skyzor replied. "You practically let her down." "Mom sees me every day! So what if she doesn't see me for one whole day?" responded Trystan. "She wanted you here be here and you refused!" Skyzor stated.

"I don't need this. Get out of my room!" Trystan demanded. "Not until you apologize to Mom!" replied Skyzor. "I'll apologize in the morning. Now get out," said Trystan. "We're not done here yet," said Skyzor. Trystan, knowing he has no other option, gave an evil smile. "You're right. We're not done here." With that being said, he disappeared into the shadows. "Trystan!" Skyzor yelled out. Suddenly, a hand came from the shadows, grabbing Skyzor's leg from behind, and pulled him in.

Skyzor found himself outside. He was on the street that was in front of the manor. He didn't see Trystan anywhere. The streetlights were on, but Skyzor knew that with light, come shadows. He knew his younger brother was hiding among the shadows, but he doesn't know where. Suddenly, Skyzor felt a sharp pain from his right leg. He looked down and saw two shurikens, made out of dense shadows, sticking from it. Soon, the shurikens disappeared. Skyzor had to prepare himself. He knew Trystan was going to hurt him, probably kill him too.

Four more shadow shurikens came right at Skyzor. He immediately shot fire at the shurikens, causing them to disappear. Skyzor covered his arms and legs with fire and flew up. He knew he would have the advantage in the air. More shurikens were thrown at him, but Skyzor dodged them all at great speed thanks to the boost of his fire. "Come out Trystan! Don't be a coward!" Skyzor yelled out.

Trystan stepped out from the shadows. He looked up at his older brother. "Looks like I'll have to fight you head on." Chanting a spell, Trystan levitated up into the air. Skyzor gave a smirk. "Looks like you need your magic to copy me." Trystan rolled his eyes. "Why would I want to copy you?" He shot a blast of energy at Skyzor. Skyzor shot a ball of fire at the blast, but when they collided, the blast exploded. Skyzor then felt a sudden pain. "Magic is a very dangerous and powerful tool. I would be careful if I were you," Trystan stated.

Skyzor took the advice. He knew Trystan is dangerous. He'll have to find a way to defeat him. Trystan shot more magic blasts, but Skyzor dodged them instantly. It was now Skyzor's turn to attack. He shot dozens of fireballs at Trystan, only to see them blocked by a magical barrier. 'I need to get a hit on him,' Skyzor thought. 'But how?' Skyzor thought of a risky idea, but he had to get his brother to drop his guard.

Skyzor flew at Trystan at great speed. Trystan didn't know why his brother would rush at him but decided that it didn't matter to him. He shot another magic blast, but much stronger than before. Skyzor received a direct hit, causing him to crash behind a couple of trees. Trystan smirk. "Well that was easy. I didn't expect him to fall like that." He turned and levitated towards the floor. All of a sudden, a dagger flew past his head, hitting a tree. Trystan spun around. "What the?"

Skyzor stood there, holding another dagger. Trystan has always been fascinated with weapons used by samurais and ninja, while Skyzor preferred to use knives and daggers. Trystan threw more shadow shurikens, but Skyzer leaped over them. The elder brother then rushed at his younger brother. Trystan created a sword with his shadows and rushed back at Skyzor. Skyzor raised his dagger, preparing for the attack.

Trystan swung his sword, but his older brother was able to duck. Skyzor slashed his dagger, but Trystan was able to jump back just in a nick of time. Shadows struck at Skyzor, but he jumped before they can get to him. However, Trystan saw this as an opportunity and leaped at his older brother. He swung his sword but instead of drawing blood, the weapon simply went through Skyzor. 'What the?' Trystan mentally asked.

The Skyzor that stood in front of him dissolved. 'Body projection!' Suddenly, Trystan felt a burning sensation on his back. He turned around and saw Skyzor throwing more fireballs. Tentacles made out of shadows attacked Skyzor from behind, but he used a blast of fire to destroy them. Skyzor threw more fireballs, which Trystan was barely able to dodge.

He can feel the pain on his back made by Skyzor's fireball. Skyzor was also feeling pain, made both by the shurikens and the magic blast from earlier. "Stand down Trystan. I don't want to continue hurting you," Skyzor stated. "Well, I'm prepared to continue hurting you," Trystan responded. Skyzor sighed. He shot a massive fireball at Trystan, who responded by shooting a magic blast. The collision of the attack created an explosion that sent both brothers flying.

Kasume woke up startled. She swore she heard an explosion nearby. She sat up and realized she was covered with a blanket. She was the last person to fall asleep, so she concluded that Trystan must've come back. She rushed to his room, only to find it empty. She went to check the rooms of her other sons. Neo was still asleep, but Skyzor's room was also empty. When she went to Kazuto's room, he was awake, but groggy.

"Mom. What's going on?" asked Kazuto. "I don't know," Kasume replied. "Skyzor and Trystan are not in their rooms, and then there was this big explosion. I wonder if they're okay?" Neo walked out of his room. "Mom, why are there bright lights outside?" "What bright lights?" Kasume asked. "There are bright lights outside. I can see them from my window. They're mostly orange, but there are some purple and black too," Neo replied. Kasume rushed to her son's room. Through the window, she could see the lights. "Oh God….."

Both Skyzor and Trystan dragged themselves up. They were panting hard and looking at each other. Trystan formed another sword and walked over to Skyzor. Skyzor glared. He got into defense position. His hands erupted with fire. Suddenly Trystan's sword melted and began covering him. Soon, Trystan was covered in shadows as if they were armor. He continued to walk over to Skyzor. The elder brother ran and raised his fist. Trystan got closer.

When the flame covered fist came towards its target, it was simply caught. However, the flames grew bigger, making Trystan let go of his brother's fist. Skyzor threw another punch, but Trystan managed to block it with his arm. Trystan went for a kick to the gut, but Skyzor jumped back. However, this gave Trystan a chance to shoot a magic blast at Skyzor. The elder brother got hit right at the chest. Trystan smirked. His brother was lying down defenseless. As Trystan was getting closer, Skyzor quickly sat up and shot a fireball at his younger brother's face. While his face was protected by his shadows, he was blind at the moment.

Taking advantage, Skyzor flew up. He started shooting fireballs at Trystan. The shadow armor was protecting Trystan from the attacks, but it was getting weaker. Suddenly, Skyzor collapsed to the ground, knocked out. Trystan was surprised but fell to the floor as it some invisible force forced him to. Just like Skyzor, he passed out. "Wasn't that a bit too rough?" A female voice asked. "Nah. They needed to calm down," replied a young male voice.

Skyzor woke up. He was in his room. He sat up and looked around. He suddenly felt pain in his chest. He remembered that he took two of Trystan's magic blasts at that area. He lied down again. He closed his eyes and thought why they fought. All he wanted was for Trystan to apologize to their mother, but he decided to fight. He couldn't look at his mother in the eye. The thought of her two sons fighting each other would be unbearable for her. The door opened and Neo walked in. "Are you awake?" he asked. Skyzor opened his eyes. "Yes," he responded.

"Why did you two fight?" the youngest Orihara asked. Skyzor sighed. "I don't know. I asked him only to apologize to Mom, but he chose to fight instead," he answered. Neo couldn't understand why his older brothers fought. Things haven't been the same since Joseph's death. "Where's Mom?" Skyzor asked. "She's with Trystan. He got pretty bad burns. Especially on his back," His younger brother answered. "What about Kazuto?" "He's getting some more medical supplies." Skyzor looked up and stared at the ceiling. Why did all of this have to happen?

"Well, I can't get up."

"Mom said you have to stay in bed."

"Can you at least get me something to eat?" Skyzor asked. "Sure," Neo replied. After that, Neo left in order to get his brother a drink.

"Can you tell me why you two were fighting?" Kasume asked. "He provoked me," Trystan replied. "How did he provoke you?" his mother asked. "He was in my room even though I told him to get out," he answered once again. "That was no reason for you to fight him," Kasume responded. "I believe it was," the shadow user replied. Kasume sighed. She didn't know how to handle the situation. Their fight practically scared her to death. She began to believe that she was a terrible mother.

Trystan has some pretty bad burns. It was his back that had the most damage due to that fireball he was hit with. He couldn't lie down on his back, so he lied down on his front. His mother had already applied ointment on the burnt skin. He was full of anger that the fight was interrupted, but he decided to let it go for right now as he is weak at the moment. He sighed. He was tired, and he wanted to see Violette. Then again, he realized he'll scare the poor girl with his injuries.

"So, where were you last night?" Kasume asked. "I was out with some friends," Trystan answered. "Oh. Why didn't you bring them to the party?" the female Orihara asked. "No offense Mom, but I don't think they wanted to come to a lame party," her son responded. "The party was lame because you weren't here. I've been waiting for you to arrive," Kasume said. "I didn't want to go to the party anyway Mom. Just forget about it. It's already too late," Trystan replied.

Kasume looked up, silently praying to Joseph for help. Trystan was already becoming a handful, and she needed help. Skyzor is going to be a problem for her too due to the fight. She exited Trystan's room and arrived at the living room. She found Neo watching television. Kazuto arrived through the front door a second later.

"How are they?" He asked. "Trystan is doing fine but still acts out," Kasume answered. "Same with Skyzor," responded Neo. Kazuto looked down and pinched the bridge of his nose. His two younger brothers fought each other with their powers and ended up injured. He didn't know whether they went insane or what. "I'm going to talk to them," Kazuto declared. "I don't think it's a very good idea," Kasume replied. "Still, they need to know that their actions are hurting this family," he replied. Kasume sighed. She knew he was right. Hopefully it wouldn't cause more trouble.
