The halls echoed with a stillness, all around Kirei. She crept through the silence, her ears and eyes open for any hint of a sound. She slipped into the docking bay, soundlessly, and crouched in the shadows. She was on a large walkway, that ran around the room, stairs led down to the lower portion, and what she was on, was mainly used for repairing the upper halfs of Guymelefs. Before her was a railing, and then twelve or thirteen feet below that, was a vast room, immobile Guymelefs lined the walls, their bulks outlined barely by the tiny difference in color beetween the blue walls, and the, also, blue 'melefs. She waited, patience never wearing thin. It must have been twenty minutes before a sound, barely auditible in the large room, reached her ears. Kirei stiffened and could feel the presence of a fellow Fanelian. The intruder. She undetectedly stood, and stepped forward, still hidden in shadows, and watched as a man, about twenty, cautiously, darted beetween a large metal crate. He looked around, the whites of his eyes flashing. Then he carefully crept out of the shadows, realizing he couldnt get to the door at the other end of the room without crossing almost directly in the middle of it.
Kirei's face remained impassive as she recognized him. She remembered passing him in the streets of Fanelia, before she left. She remembered he had two childeren, 'who probably burned with Fanelia' She thought without feeling. She watched silently as he turned to look behind him. Kirei took advantage of the chance, and soundlessly jumped over the railing, sailing to the floor. She landed, with barely any noise, her legs absorbing the shock. She watched as the mans body stiffened. She crouched on the ground, one leg behind herself, an arm by her side, and the other on the ground to steady her. The skirt she wore around her waist drifted to the ground after her, landing softly, and her tail hovered inches above the metal floor, she waited for her body to settle so she could stand. Then she stood, gracefully and slowly, knowing she would have more advantage that way.
The man whirrled around. He wore a grey tunac, his hair was curly and light brown. His face was youthfull, only a tiny hint of stubble suggested he was older than a teenager. But Kirei wasnt fooled by his appearence. His grey eyes focused in on her and he stumbled backward. "What?"He whispered, suprized. She blinked, her face a mask of nothing. Not a single emotion showed in any part of her body. Her eyes, were cold ice. She forced herself not to flinch at the sound of a Fanelians voice. It held emotion, unlike the Zaibach people. It held sadness and irrepressible anger. "Who are you?"He whispered.
"You know who I am"Kirei said, her voice echoed off the walls loudly.
"I recognize you... your from Fanelia!"He said in a hushed voice.
Kirei nodded. "It burned"She crossed her arms, and regarded the man coldly. "Did your children burn to?" The man stumbled back in suprize. "Did your wife?" Kirei stepped towards him menacingly. "Did you watch your homeland burn? All those lives ending?"She hissed.
"You... you... your part of the Zaibach Empire now!"He gasped as he stood up straight and broadened his shoulders. "Move out of my way girl! Your still native Fanelian. I wont hurt you if you move out of my way" His hand immediatly went to the sword he had killed a Dragonslayer for. It stayed sheathed at his side, but he held his hand near his hip, warningly.
"Soukai...?" Kirei smirked and laughed. "I will bring your blood to my master" She laughed and glared at him "Fanelian"She spit the word as if it were dirty, something to be ashamed of.
"Ill kill you!"The man cried as he charged at Kirei, she jumped in the air, over his head, and landed on the other side of him. He tried to turn to face her, but she kicked him, hard, in the head. He fell to the ground, and tried to stand.
"I think not"She said coldly as she walked over to him as he struggled to his feet, unsheathing the sword. "Your my master Dilanda's enemy, that makes you my enemy. He wants you dead. So you will die."She kicked his head again, he fell to the ground again, caughing as blood ran from his mouth.
Kirei bent down and pulled him up by his collar, staring into his eyes menacingly as she ran a long nail down his cheek, a tiny line of crimson blood following her finger. He caughed and glared at her. She sensed the chemicals in his body change, and she knew he was readying himself to move. In an instant, his arm was out, and the sword was inches from her side, but she caught his hand, and a loud 'SNAP' echoed through the room, as she bent his wrist backwards and he cried out in pain. The sword slid across the floor. He reached for his hand with his other, and Kirei kicked his stomache, hard. His knees buckled and he whimpered as she let him crash to the hard ground.
She leaned over him again and grasped his hair, smashing his face into the ground. When she brought it up so she could look straight into his eyes, the blood gushing from his forehead was visible, shining in the darkness. His eyes were unfocused, and faded. Blood ran into them, and he made small gurgling sounds. "Im killing you in the name of my master, Dilandau."She whispered quietly, compassion running through her veins, but she ignored feelings of remorse, and pulled his head back even farther. "You should be honored"She whispered in his ear, her lips brushing it. She could smell his fear. "In the name of Zaibach"and with that, she firmly took his head in her hands, and pulled it hard to the right. A cracking sound came from the snapping of his neck, and Kirei imediatly dropped his limp body. Her chest heaving with subdued breaths, she looked to the great Guymelefs surrounding her.
She closed her eyes, trying to keep the tears from escaping the barriers of her eyes. She thought of how pleased Dilandau would be. And that was all that mattered. Pleasing Dilandau. Her great master. What he wanted, he would get. And he had wanted this mans life to end.
"In the name of Zaibach..."
