I stood there, frozen, pinned to the wall by Aichi's scythe, his hollow eyes glowering ominously.
"Well then.." He whispered, the scythe pressing on my throat. "What will you do now?"
Honestly, I didn't know. It was very unlikely that I would suddenly be able to fight back, and he probably wouldn't listen to reason. I glanced around, looking for something to use. A decent weapon of some sort.
"Useless." Aichi hissed, the sharp edge of the scythe pressing deeper into my skin, and a bit of blood dripped down and stained my shirt. I widened my eyes in horror, staring into Aichi's eyes, realizing everything.
I remembered that I brought Blaster Blade.
I pulled out the card, the one warrior who saved both of us many times, and was the sign of our bonds.
"Aichi, remember this?" I held the card, my hand shaking uncontrollably. Aichi just looked at it curiously.
"This?" He took the card out of my hand as my nervousness grew. What was he going to do?
"This thing?" He flipped the card so the card's art was facing me. I widened my eyes as scarlet marks appeared under his eyes and he lifted his scythe.
And sliced the card in half.
I watched, dazed, as the halves of the precious card fell to the floor, glowing for a moment, and then the light was gone. I looked back at Aichi in terror, who stared back at me, smirking triumphantly, though his eyes showed a small spark of regret. I just stood there, staring, making silent gasps of horror.
I was so stupid.
To think I could beat Aichi with a card, even if it was Blaster Blade. My gaze dropped back down to the floor, the sliced card sitting where my gaze rested. I felt the tension of the long curved blade above my head, and a shadow resting on me.
"You're next, Kai." He rattled, starting to bring the scythe down.
"Wait."
Aichi paused, his curious gaze piercing me. I dropped to my knees, each of my hands on one half of the card, tears and blood dripping down in the middle as the words left my mouth.
"I surrender."
Stay tuned, everyone :3
