((Hey all, sorry for the long wait but here is Ch.7, Enjoy~~))

Garden Of Nightmares

Rin POV

It was silent for a bit, everything around me seemed to stop and slow down, also was it just me or did the temperature get colder? My vision was fuzzy so I couldn't see very well. I heard the sound of water hitting the floor, it was faint but I could hear it, coming from somewhere near me, but where?

My vision soon cleared enough so I could see Shiemi sitting down staring at me with wide scared eyes, my eyes got wide as I tried to move back but my sword was stuck. I looked down at the blade and was shocked at what I saw; the blade was in-between two white gloves.

The guy connected to the gloves slowly stood up my sword still in between his hands. He had on a black and white jumpsuit; He had a white "D" stitched on the chest of the suit that seemed to admit an eerie glow. The guy himself had snow white hair and pale skin, he slowly opened his eyes, that glowed a bright green just like the knights only difference was this guy had pupils and he glared at me venomously.

I jerked my sword back and he let go letting his arms fall to his side making fists. I jumped back trying to regain some composer. It was then I noticed that near the kids feet where drops of green and red liquid. I blinked a bit and noted that he raised his hand up to me; I saw a tear in it, with a gash across his palm blood mixed with green exiting from it. I blinked a bit but caught that his eyes had gotten a brighter green now covering his pupils as his hand also began glowing the same color.

My instincts kicked in as I side-stepped a blast from his hand. I blinked a bit looking at where the beam hit a tree, and then back at him, a growl was all that escaped my mouth, as I raised my sword in front of me, "Lookslikethatkidhadhelp." I thought to myself. The flames burning bright again as I glared at him.

His pupils had returned but his hand was still glowing pointed right at me. I smirked a bit, "What happened to that kid?" I asked him. He narrowed his eyes at me "He has nothing to do with this. I'm the one you want." He said. I blinked at the guy but I glared at him knowing a trick when I see one, "Don't fool me." I said looking around "You're just his decoy; I know he will come from a different side and strikes me when I am not paying attention."

I looked at him, confusion evident on his face and I groaned to myself "WaytogoRin,givethekidideasonhowtokillyou." I thought to myself. If that wasn't the trick then what was? I didn't have time to think on an answer before more green blasts came at me, I ducked and ran behind a tree for cover.

I breathed in deeply, as the blasts kept hitting the tree, after a bit they stopped and I looked back. All I saw was Shiemi still sitting down her head moving as if she was looking for something, before I could walk out I felt presser on my gut and I let out a breath of air before I was sent flying backwards.

It felt like someone tacked me and was still tackling me sending me backwards, only problem was I couldn't see who it was, when it finally stopped I felt myself fall not noticing how far off the ground I was, I landed with a thud hitting the ground.

I opened my eyes groggily and looked up seeing a familiar green beam heading toured me, my eyes got wide as I quickly spun missing the beam, I used the shockwave to get to my feet however as I stood slashing my sword, "Is that all you got!" I shouted looking around for where he might be.

I looked around hearing noting then thought of something and looked up, and saw him, hovering in the air, his hands were now glowing green as he glared at me. We were deep in the garden now, trees so tall they blocked out the very odd sky this place had, and the only light was the strange boxes with markings on them that glowed with fire, normal fire.

I glared at the kid my demon half starting to kick in more as the blue flames intensified as I let out a growl and charged at him, the kids eyes glowed a bit brighter as he charged at me too, his legs connecting into one becoming some kind of black tail matching his attire his hands at his side still glowing green.

Danny POV

Going ghost was completely on instinct and at the time completely necessary so that stupid principle, won't be able to call me out on this one…at least I hope he won't.

Back to what was going on, we were charging at each other, I closed my eyes as my body went invisible and I fazed throe him, but as I did I grabbed his leg and went visible again tossing him back to the ground. He spun a bit and landed on his feet. He looked up at me and for a moment I froze, the look on his face was demonic, something I am not used to seeing when I fight ghosts.

I snapped back into reality when he slashed his sword and sent out blue flames at me, I did my best to doge them, but I was not fast enough as the burn streaked my side, the same side he was able to get at with his sword. I fell from the sky and nearly hit the ground only to catch myself and hover for a bit, my hand was on my side on instinct as I felt intense pain. "Okay so normal fire can't hurt me like this, so what kind of fire did this guy have?" I landed on the ground luckily able to rest for a moment. "Man why can't I just have one normal day?" I said to myself then chuckled a bit at my statement remembering something a friend back home told me, "Because normal isn't fun, right Sam." I smiled a bit but tensed when I heard footsteps coming from behind me, I quickly turned that way my hand glowing green ready to fire an ecto-blast.

I blinked a bit at who came out of the forest, it was Shiemi she was breathing hard and her head was low. My hand stopped glowing green and I lowered it, ignoring the pain from caching the sword. "What are you doing here?" I asked her.

She looked up at me now standing straight she was still breathing deeply but she was able to say, "I was worried…about my friend."

I blinked a bit and looked around "He's fine, I took him to a safe place" I said playing that card just to be sure, It was bad enough Mr. Top Hat figured me out, I don't need anyone else. She looked at me in the eyes for a bit and started shaking her head, "I…mean you…" she said.

I cursed in my mind, she knew. I sighed a bit and looked at her "You can't tell anyone who I am okay." I told her, she blinked a bit at me confusion evident on her face, "Let's just say I ant ready to tell everyone yet." I said.

She stared at me a bit and nodded slowly. I smiled a bit but that faded when I heard footsteps approach fast, I swung around and looked around still hearing them coming now right from the trees into a small opening, lucky for me I know where to fall to have cover.

"Get out of here, find someone named Jazz, she will help." I said. When she didn't replay I looked over and my eyes got wide, as I felt a sudden pain on my gut. I looked down and saw a scarily familiar green sword, and worst of all Shiemi was the one holing it. I felt pain but something else, fear.

She lifted her head and looked at me an insane smile on her face as well as glowing green eyes, eyes that were not her own, I glared at her, the best I could knowing who this was, and knew how bad of a predicament I was in. I staggered back leaning agents the tree my hand over the open wound witch was starting to heal. She started to laugh still holding the glowing green sword, "What's wrong boy…afraid of something?" she asked her voice mixed with someone else's.

I glared at her in the eyes venomously "Get…out of…her." I said. She laughed again "Soon…but first…for some fun." She slashed again with the sword and all went black.

Rin POV

I knew I hit him, now I just had to find him. I searched the woods and ran into a clearing, trees surrounding me. Had to admit it was unsettling, like something was watching me, hunting me. I tensed when I heard the sounds of twigs breaking; I raised my sword ready to slash at anything that showed up.

The sounds got louder, and I got tenser, the blue flames surrounding my body got brighter as I raised my sword and begun to slash, but I stopped when I saw who it was. Shiemi stood there her eyes wide and still full of fear. I lowered my sword a bit and averted my gaze remembering earlier, she ran to me and my eyes got wide as I felt her hug me. I blinked a bit and looked down at her.

She had tears in her eyes as her face was pressed agents my chest, "Please…just stop…" she said her voice cracking. I looked down at her and sighed a bit lifting up the sword and placing it in its scabbard, when I did the blue flames went away as well. She looked up at me, and I smiled a bit "You win." I said. She grinned a bit and lowered her head again, I felt my face get red as I realized what predicament this looked and quickly backed off, "Uhh lets head back." I said trying to hide my flushed face.

She blinked a bit but nodded, as soon as I turned my back to her I heard her scream in pain, I quickly looked back and saw her eyes were wide, they soon closed as she fell forwards, thanks to reflexes I caught her. "Shiemi...SHIEMI!" I asked now worried, I closed my eyes, as I glared at a sound that came from behind a tree.

My eyes got wide as I saw that same boy, this time he was slouched his hand covering his stomach, he had a gash mark on his chest witch could have been from the fall, and he was breathing very hard. His hand was out and was glowing green. That was enough to make me snap.

I lowered her to the ground and stood glaring at him demonically, growling as I grabbed the swords hinge ready to pull it out, but I never did, before I could think of what to make of it, I saw the kid fire another blast this time missing me but hitting something behind me. I turned around and saw Shiemi standing, her head back as if she was hit by the blast, I stared at her a bit then she did something that really creped me out, she lowered her head, and opened her eyes witch where now just a green light, a very crazy smile appearing on her face, "Well…I was hoping to have some fun…but you have to ruin it….don't you….phantom." she said.

I looked back and saw the kids eyes glow brighter but his eyes where faded out badly. "Ah well…guess, I'll just have to kill you all…" she said I looked back at her and my eyes got wide as I saw a sword slashing downward at me. I didn't have time to react to the slash nor me getting pushed out of the way. I landed on my behind and slowly opened my eyes to see the kid standing in front of me, his arms stretched out, he was like that for a moment then I saw him shake, a bit. I saw his eyes where now glazed, and then he fell forward a bit but was sent flying back with a kick by Shiemi.

He landed hard agents a tree, and for a moment he sat there motionless, then his face changed to one of panic, he then held his head and closed his eyes as he screamed. I stared at him my eyes wide, as I saw him scream and move back as if he was trying to get away from something. He only stopped when Shiemi stabbed the boy in the stomach. He looked up at her and his he closed his eyes and his body went limp.

I stared in shock as she pulled away; the wound had a glow around it and was getting smaller. My eyes got wide as I saw two silver rings appear around the kids middle, and spread to either end of him, I staggered a bit as I saw the kid from before sitting there. I looked back at Shiemi shock and a bit of anger in my voice "What did you do?"

She looked at me and smirked, "I just sent him to a place where fear rules." She said, she glared at me a bit then smirked her voice a mix of something else, "And now it's your turn." She charged at me and slashed downward with her sword, I moved to the side but she smirked and she fell forward her sword disappearing, "Shiemi!" I shouted as I grabbed her, before I could react I saw my sword being taken from my hand, "Wha…HEY!"

My sword hovered in the air for a moment, till the being holding it became visible, and it was then that I knew this was very bad. That same knight from before was there holding my sword, only this time he looked a lot younger, and a lot stronger, "At last, it's mine." He said holding my blade up.

I glared at him "Yeah right!" I shouted and charged at him, he sidestepped me and hit me with the butt of my own sword, and I fell backward. I glared back up at him, but it faded when I saw him raise that green sword he had, "Goodnight…demons spawn!" he said slashing. I closed my eyes again waiting for it to hit, but nothing, all I felt was a burst of wind and I looked up and saw the knight look around feeling it too.

My eyes got wide as I saw him fly back and hit a tree with a thud, I blinked and looked around then when I spotted her and I smiled a bit. The woman was wearing an open black jacket, with a red bikini top on under it, she had short pants on as well, her hair looked like flames. She looked like she was ready to kill. "If I were you, I would leave my student alone" she said jumping down from the tree she was in. She had her sword by her side, it always seemed odd that it had those green openings going down it, but if it gets the job done I don't care.

The knight slowly stood up and glared at Shura, he looked at me a bit "I have what I want." He said "Until the next time we meet…son of Satan." He said bowing and fading into the ground. Shura glared and started to charge at him slicing at him but he was gone before she could hit him. She cursed to herself then glared at me "I can't leave you alone for a second can I?" she asked "getting into things you shouldn't have." I sighed a bit and lowered my head, "And worst of all he has the Demon Blade, how did you lose it!" she asked me shouting now. I looked at her a bit and shouted back "It's not my fault, if he took over Shiemi!" she stared at me for a moment and shook her head "You're an idiot." She said as she turned and placed her sword to her chest and as a light surrounded the mark above her cleaved her sword went into the strange symbol and she looked back at me "Did you not learn anything, to not let the enemy touch your weapon." she asked, I lowered my head not really needing a lesson now. She sighed shaking her head "When this is over, I am going to make sure you know that lesson before picking up that dame sword…now come on and help get these two to the infirmary."

I blinked a bit and nodded as I walked over to the guy since she had Shiemi, I sighed as I picked the kid up on my back, and he was surprisingly light which was good. I could still hear the kids terrified scream, and the look on his face, and it sent a chill down my spine, it's something I never like hearing.

I picked him up and started to follow Shura out of the garden, I know that I was going to get one of the longest lectures of my life but, also had the satisfaction of losing my sword to some ghost knight. Honestly this was turning out to be the worst month ever.
