A/N: God, university has been a right pain in the arse as I had another essay to complete and the due in date is for this week so I apologise for not updating as soon as possible. I would like to thanks to all those who reviewed so far and they are Highwayman Myth, The Legend of Soul Emblem, pawprint0110, Link Guru, mastersam, Valkyrie Celes, Magic of WakaLaka, katana777, Jamseter211, Anji, myemailistoolong and Razer Athane – all you guys rock! Moving on here's Chapter 7 of 'A Problem Aired is A Problem Shared' and it is all about Tira or Little Miss Psycho Bitch as I call her hehe . As you know, Tira is the servant of the evil sword and is somewhat of a biplor character – the next minute she is smiling while the next minute she is frowning! In this chapter she is debating with herself on whether she should carry on killing or just break the habit so to speak.

Disclaimer: Looks like I'm on my own now!

AngelEyes87: Okay, since I've said this before I'll say it again. (smiles politely) I do not own the Soul Calibur characters and if I did I would probably make it better by adding better voice actors and adding new characters like me (winks cheekily) in the game. ( hear phone rings) Damn, I wonder who's phoning now. (answers phone) Hello.

Jay: Since I'm now FIRED, who the hell is going to cover the show for me? I hope you haven't cancelled it AngelEyes87 or-!

AngelEyes87 (interrupting angrily): Now WHY would I do that, Jay?! (sighs) Everything is sorted and someone is covering the show for you so just CHILL!

Jay (curiously): Who is it then?

AngelEyes87: Look, he's coming any second now so it doesn't matter. Anyway why should I tell you after what happened last time?

Jay (chuckles smugly): So, how did things go with Myth then? I hope he didn't make you walk the plank or something like that.

AngelEyes87 (rolls eyes up to the ceiling): No, we had a duel! Myth tied one hand behind my back – God knows why – and just as he was about to win Nightmare crashed through the building. (smiles) Being the brave man that he is, Myth helped me escape – it was REALLY sweet of him. (silence at the end of the phone) Jay, are you there?

Jay (teasingly) You fancy Myth! You fancy-

AngelEyes87 (hangs up on him): What an arsehole!

A Problem Aired is A Problem Shared

By AngelEyes87

Chapter 7: To Kill Or Not To Kill.

"Hello! You are now watching A Problem Aired Is A Shared!" Link welcomed in a friendly voice, waving to the audience. He flashed them a wide grin, trying to be the damn best presenter this show has ever seen. "My name is Link and for those who are wondering where Jay is, well he got into deep trouble with his boss after Nightmare and Siegfried were fighting while managing to destroy the whole set. As you can see we won't get it repaired not until a few months time as our funds have run out."

Secretly Link was pleased to get this chance to present the show as he had his eye on being the presenter of the show. That was until Jay stole it from under his nose when Jay had sent him to the wrong place and Link went there, thinking that the interview place was there. Turned out it was a strip-joint for midgets and Link tried to make his escape when all of a sudden an ugly red headed stripper dragged him back, forcing him to endure a horrible strip tease followed by a lap dance! He had some terrible nightmares ever since that fateful night. Link just wouldn't go out for ages as he would sit in his room, muttering "Think of a happy place" over and over again while sitting there rocking.

When Link got the phone call saying that Jay was fired and he could present just the one show, he immediately jumped for joy. His girlfriend Cassandra Alexandra was very pleased for him and she was even backstage watching the show. On the way to the show they drove past Jay's house and smiling cheekily, Link pulled down his trousers and mooned a very surprised and wide-eyed Jay who spilt his coffee down him. Things were looking up for Link as he was the new front-man for the Lynx deodorant.

A young child of four or five from the audience couldn't take his curious eyes off from Link. "Mummy?"

"Yes, dear?" the girl's mum said gently.

"He's a cute looking elf!" the girl exclaimed, pointing at Link. "Can I keep him?"

'Oh boy, not THIS again!' Link thought as he slapped himself on the forehead. Just because he had long pointy ears, had green clothes on and was of a short height DID NOT make him an elf!

"Okay, let's get things sorted out before we move along," Link announced calmly with a serious expression on his face. "I am NOT an elf – I am a Hyrulean! There is a difference, you know..."

The girl pouted. "Sorry Link."

"No harm done," he assured her. "Today's show is about a sad and tragic story of a seventeen year old girl who was raised in a secret organisation of assassins called the Bird of Passage. She was free of the clan when the Evil Seed rained down while she was in the middle of a mission and she tried to live a normal life with a family that took her in. However that didn't work out as she managed to kill them all along with the rest of the villagers. Would you please give it up for Tira!"

The audience including Link couldn't help but stare in shock as a petite girl dressed in green torn clothes that revealed a hell of a lot of her skin came onto the stage. 'Oh dear Lord,' Link thought as he studied her from a distance, not believing what he had just seen. Out of all the girls he had seen in Hyrule, they were totally different from Tira. Link figured out that green must be her all time favourite colour and even her lips were painted green for some strange reason. He admit that she was an odd looking girl as he saw that her hair was aqua blue and there was a strange faint aura around her that he just couldn't put his finger on. Just then Link thought he heard some birds squawking not too far away.

"What the hell?" he said as he looked up to the big hole in the ceiling and noticed a flock of ravens hovering overhead. 'I wonder if the people of England are thinking why there are no ravens near the Tower of London now' Link thought as he scratched his hair in confusion. Tira gazed at the audience when she had noticed that the crowd wasn't cheering for her.

"Well aren't you going to APPLAUD then?!" Tira growled in annoyance, waving her ring blade Aiseline Drossel around in a threatening way. The audience soon took notice and started to cheer for her. Smiling with satisfaction she made her way over to Link, casually sat down on the chair and looked up at Link with a glint in her eyes.

"Oh, you have a nice body," Tira drawled seductively. Link immediately felt uncomfortable with the way she was eyeing him up and down. "Can I see it for a second?"

"Uh...welcome to the show Tira," Link informed, choosing to ignore what she just said to him. "Don't you think what you wear is slightly...revealing?"

"Of course not," she answered, giggling girlishly. "Men tend to find it quite sexy."

Link was rendered speechless, his jaw almost hitting the floor. Was she coming onto him? He swallowed the lump that was now forming in his throat and summoned up the courage within him.

"So please could you tell us why you're here on today's show Tira?"

"Well ever since childhood I have always been killing people and to some extent I pretty much enjoyed it," Tira admitted. "Every day I just have this urge to KILL someone if I don't like them or if they taunt me. The other day this so called friend of mine had been ignoring me for the past TWO months and I couldn't understand why. Suddenly I found out that he was pretending to be MY friend and he had been lying to me all along when in fact I trusted him."

"So what happened then?" Link inquired. "Did you and him have a talk about it and come to a sensible conclusion about it?"

"No, I killed him," Tira replied without a trace of remorse in her voice. 'Note to self: Don't cross Tira in anyway since she might kill you,' Link thought to himself as he smiled sheepishly at her. What could he say to that? Absolutely nothing.

"Hmm, interesting. Not something that I would do but it is interesting."

"Well he deserved it!" Tira muttered with a look of slight displeasure on her face."I have trust issues! If I don't trust anyone I'll kill them!"

"Oh dear," Link said gently. Speaking to Tira really felt that he was skating on thin ice here – one false move and he's dead. "But you do trust me, don't you Tira?"

Tira flashed him one of her dazzling smiles and nodded happily. Link sighed out of relief. Thank God for that! It was strange to say that he felt drawn to her due to pity but he had to stay clear of her in case she might kill him, which was something that he didn't want.

Link cleared his throat."So how did you come across Nightmare then?"

"I was wandering around for some time, killing everyone in sight when one day I heard about the massacres that he had caused," she explained, her face lighting up. "Finally I had found someone just like me! I went to Ostrheinsburg, which is Nightmare's headquarters, and all I found was this cocky bastard with a scythe, telling me that he was just a useless PUPPET! A few days later I had found Nightmare and I gave myself to him entirely and became his close servant."

"Ha, you're a CRAZY psycho!" an arrogant man called out from the audience, immediately jeering directly at Tira. Tira stood up slowly, glaring fiercely at the man. "You belong in a boot camp for freaks like you!"

"I will make sure to grant you your DEATH!" Tira raged, venom in her voice as she marched up to the man, ready to kill him. Link knew he had to think of something so he leapt, landed on the floor and held onto her leg firmly to try and stop her. Tira still continued walking, pulling Link along the floor. 'Oh God, my ribs are KILLING me!' Link thought as he winced in pain. He wished to God that he didn't do that.

"RISE ABOVE IT! SURPRESS YOUR KILLING URGES! PLEASE LISTEN TO ME TIRA!"

Finally Tira stopped walking and looked down at Link who was stopping her walking properly. Anyway she was fed up with his weight dragging her down.

"Now go back there and sit down on the chair right now," Link commanded as he struggled to get up, his hand coming close to his ribcage. He hadn't been in so much pain in his life before. It was then at that moment that Tira's lips started to quiver and her eyes started to water up.

"Oh no Tira, please don't do this..." Link told her gently.

Just as he said this it only made matters worse. Tira instantly broke down and started to cry uncontrollably.

"Poor girl," Link murmured under his breath, wondering why the hell she was crying for. The least he can do was to feel sorry for her.

Link took a step forward closer to her. "Tira, what's-"

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ME!" Tira wailed while tears were rolling down her cheeks, smearing her makeup. Link tried his best not to laugh as Tira looked like a panda. "I AM NOW MASTERLESS SINCE SEIGFRIED KILLED NIGHTMARE AND ALL THE TIMES I TRY AND FIT IN WITH NORMAL LIFE BUT I JUST CAN'T! I REALLY WANT TO STOP KILLING PEOPLE AS IT'S RUINING MY LIFE BUT THE URGE IS JUST TOO STRONG!"

Just like a normal man, Link couldn't take it when girls were crying. Normally he would try and sneak away when a woman was crying but this time he couldn't.

"But did you feel at least normal when you were living with that family before you killed them?"

"Yes," Tira admitting, sniffling.

"Killing people isn't the answer to everything and it doesn't get you anywhere.," Link told her, trying to calm her down. "Now I want you to stop killing people and live your life like a normal person. Promise?"

"OK, I will," Tira sighed. A glint suddenly appeared in her eyes and a devilish smile appeared on her face. "Only on one condition though..."

Link gulped. "What's that?"

"That you'll be my boyfriend!" she exclaimed. Link's eyes widened in surprise. 'Time to get out of here!' he thought as he started to run for the nearest exist.

"Oh no you don't!" Tira said cheerfully as she draped her ring blade around him and pulled him back to her before he could even escape.

"Tira, I-I," Link stuttered, not knowing what to say to her.

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MAN YOU LITTLE HARLOT!"

Both Link and Tira glanced around to see a pissed off Cassandra not far away from them with her sword and shield in her hands. 'Phew, just in time!' Link thought to himself.

"Back off Blondie, Link IS MINE!" Tira snarled at Cassandra, obviously fuming that she had decided to interrupt things. Cassandra grew even more angry at what Tira had said.

"This is even worse than you STALKING my sister! I am never letting Link go without a fight!" the Greek warrioress barked as she readied her weapons.

"Bring it on bitch!" Tira challenged in a low voice.

"That is all we got time for and thanks for watching A Problem Aired is A Problem Shared," Link said quickly. "Now, now ladies...surely it doesn't have to come down to this!"
