Chapter six:

"Hold it!"

"Hm?" Kaoru and Hikaru stop.

Haruhi uses whats left of the wall for support as seen by the human figure that is slowly becoming clearer as the dust clouds fade away. She raises her head eyes full of determination. "I'm not done with either of you." She says and the last of the dust clouds fade away. She manages to speak fine even though she's slightly panting.

Hikaru slightly turns to look to Haruhi.

Kaoru looks over his shoulder taking a small step to the side to look at Haruhi too. "You're still conscious after that attack? I'm impressed." He says not seeming to be bothered at all by it.

"I won't give up. Not until I have gotten my revenge." Haruhi says determined. She pushes slightly off the wall to stand on her own slightly hunched over but looking ready to fight no matter if she's hurt or not. "You should be hoping that I go easy on you when I kill you." She tells them.

Kaoru and Hikaru fully turn to face her.

"You seem to have forgotten who it is you are fighting." Kaoru says and smirks softly. "You are fighting the changeling leaders. We will annihilate you before you can even come close to beating us."

Haruhi raises the knife she managed to keep a hold of and gets ready to fight once again.

"Haruhi!" Kyouya speaks. "Cut us loose and let us help you."

"This is my battle." Haruhi says back. "And you won't be able to help with that cocoon growing on you." She then prepares to lunge at Kaoru.

Kaoru easily dodges the side then he sends a kick to her side sending her away with her landing on her body on the ground first then slides a little before stopping.

Nekozawa raises his head and sees what's going on. He is about to get up when he suddenly clenches his teeth with a soft gasp of pain raising a hand to his head shutting his eyes tightly. "Wh-what is this?" He says to himself. "This…. This voice inside my head….." He slightly open one eye. "No….. It can't be." He puts some emphasis on the word 'be'. He looks to Kaoru as he tries to fight against the voice in his head. "Is it really possible?" He then looks away shutting both eyes tightly as he lets a soft groan. "No…. I won't give in to you."

Kaoru's eyes flicker to Nekozawa for a moment to say something. "You can try to fight it but no one lasts long. So you'll be one of us." He turns back to Haruhi. "Just give in. Being a changeling isn't bad." He says.

Haruhi growls then charges forward.

Kaoru uses his wings to help him jump up so he's behind Haruhi.

Haruhi spins to attack and Kaoru uses his magic to seal one of her feet in the green like stuff. She still tries to slash him but he takes a step back.

"I warned you. You have no idea what you're getting into. You should give up." Kaoru says crossing his arms slightly over his chest.

Haruhi is panting slightly. "I will defeat you." She bends down and uses the knife to attack the goo.

Kaoru raises a hand towards Haruhi getting ready to feed on her love even if it means he has to change himself to someone she loves.

"HARUHI!" Tamaki gets himself more tangled up in the net trying to get free.

Haruhi looks up just in time to see Kaoru smirk. Her eyes widen slightly as she knows what Kaoru's going to do. She is about to raise the knife thinking if she should try to free herself or try to hit Kaoru.

Then Kaoru hears something to his side making him look.

Nekozawa has charged at him and slams his body into Kaoru's knocking him away.

Kaoru rolls on the ground slightly then manages to skid to a stop on his feet.

Hikaru rushes over to his brother.

Nekozawa turns to Haruhi. "I can try to get you out of this." He says placing his hands on the green stuff around one of Haruhi's feet.

Kaoru assures his brother he is fine then gets up looking to the two. "You will stop." He commands.

It becomes obvious Nekozawa is fighting his changeling instinct to follow the order as he focuses as much as he can on trying to use his new changeling powers to get the stuff off of Haruhi's leg.

Kaoru growls very softly.

"Almost….Got….it…." Nekozawa says closing one eye scrunching it closed.

Then Nekozawa's magic melts the green stuff into nothing freeing Haruhi.

"Thank you." Haruhi says.

Nekozawa is feeling tired and a little weak. "No problem. I'll just rest a little. You take care of the twins." He says.

Haruhi nods and stands looking to the twins.

"You only got lucky he's been able to fight it this long." Kaoru says. "But no matter. He will give in soon enough."

"I'll keep fighting until I kill you all." Haruhi responds.

"We'll see about that." Hikaru says this time charging.

Haruhi gets ready to fight Hikaru as Kaoru watches.

Hikaru raises his fist ready to strike Haruhi to work to defeat her hopefully this time once and for all.

Haruhi moves to the side then slashes at Hikaru who moves to dodge but Haruhi quickly spins kicking Hikaru knocking him back.

Hikaru lands on his feet as he skids a little slightly crouched with his wings spread. He is about to charge again when Haruhi does the honors of charging and she slashes his hand. He gasps and jumps away glancing to his bleeding hand. "Lucky shot." He says glaring at Haruhi.

Haruhi smirks. "Then lets see if that's true." She says moving into battle position.

Hikaru also moves to battle position.

The two wait a small moment to see if either will move then Hikaru gets impatient.

He charges forward flapping his wings once as he charges so his feet are off the ground as he charges towards Haruhi. He pulls his non bloody fist back getting ready to strike.

Haruhi prepares for it and raises the knife getting ready to try to strike down Hikaru. She slashes at Hikaru hitting his upper arm.

He gasps and goes past her but manages to land then spins kicking her away knocking her to the ground. He is slightly panting and he takes a look at the stinging wound. "Damn. Must be the wounds slowing me down." He hisses to himself. He looks to Haruhi as the hidden girl gets to her feet.

Kaoru is watching and he begins to wonder if his brother is actually going to lose this one. He knows he'll need to step in at the right time and they should be able to stop Haruhi.

Haruhi charges and Hikaru spreads his wings getting ready to take flight.

He flaps and flies into the air but not before Haruhi throws the knife slicing his leg making him yelp in pain.

Haruhi quickly moves to grab the knife from the ground where it landed digging in. She pulls it out and turns to Hikaru who turns to her in the air looking quite angry now.

"Oh now you're going to get it!" He soars towards her charging with a small battle cry.

Haruhi smirks and waits for the perfect moment. She then steps to the side at the last minute bringing the knife up.

Hikaru gasps in pain and he falls forward he slightly rolls on the ground as he hits it as well as slightly bouncing mainly on the first impact with the ground. He skids to a stop lying on the ground.

"Hikaru!" Kaoru rushes over to his brother who shifts to get up.

Haruhi turns and has the knife raised ready to attack.

Kaoru slightly crouches by his brother who sits up. "Are you ok?" He asks.

Hikaru has one eye closed in pain as he has one hand pressed against his side. "Yeah. Just a cut."

Kaoru nods softly after glancing to the wound finding it'll only need to take a little rest before he can properly fight again.

Hikaru turns to Haruhi as Kaoru also looks. "But how could you defeat me!? You're just a weak human girl!"

In which Haruhi replies "I'm not just some weak human girl. I'm strong and I'll beat all of your kind until there's none of you filthy son of a bitches left to kill anyone else!"

Kaoru stands spreading his wings and slightly steps in front of Hikaru. "My turn."

"Let's do this." Haruhi accepts the challenge.
