Hello, again! It's me, Aysha-chan, a.k.a, shanasakura-scarlet21! Hope you still like my story! Thanks for reviewing…and here is my next Chapter, hope ya like it!
Do not own Shakugan no Shana! Oh, and xxxDreamingflowerxxx-san, sorry about the part with SnH, I really don't' have the ability to capture his characteristics perfectly. Gomen!
The Megami woke up in a room, lying down on a bed facing the person who took her captive.
"Baka…what did you do to me?" she asked when she found out she was unable to move.
"Don't even attempt to escape. As long as I'm here watching over you, you will remain paralyzed to that very bed." Yuji answered.
"L-let me go!" she commanded.
"No. Let Shana go first." He reasoned. "And stop this craziness you've planned." Yuji continued.
"No." she replied stubbornly.
She smirked. "What…makes you think that I'm going to stay here as a captive?" she yelled. "My minions could be coming here any moment now to save their leader! And when that happens, you are all in danger." She threatened.
"Hah. You think we haven't taken care of that problem already?" he asked, opening the window curtain to show the mayhem underneath them.
Hundreds of Flame Haze were battling against the equal number of Tomagara, all trying to get the Megami back. It was hard to tell who was winning, however, since it looked like a really close fight. The amount of loss was equal on both sides.
"My army will definitely win. They'll definitely save me!" she exclaimed determinately.
"We'll see about that." Yuji smirked. He was busy scanning the battlefield, when he saw one of his comrades injured.
"Carmel-san!" he yelled as he saw his dear friend get hurt. He rushed toward the battlefield leaving the Megami alone in the room.
From that view, she could view the battle below. Yuji was clearly turning things around for their team. She had to admit, he was really good at what he did. He fought valiantly, and he looked awesome fighting. His determination made him look better than he already was, and…
Hey, wati a minute! Why was she thinking of things like this? There was no way…could it be possible that somewhere deep underneath her supreme hold over the tiny Flame Haze, that things could be leaking out? Things like…emotions? Was she feeling what Shana felt about Yuji?
No way! Then that meant her hold wasn't strong enough! Shana could easily escape someday! That was surely not the reason! No way! But then…if that wasn't the reason, then was she feeling these things by herself? No way! That was more impossible than Shana escaping her hold!
She turned a bright shade of red. She shook her head, trying to clear it of the weird feelings she began experiencing. She was NOT developing feelings for someone as stupid as that fool, Yuji. No way!
Soon the thought dawned upon her. She was free from Yuji! She could try to escape now, right? What had he said earlier? If he was keeping watch, she couldn't move. But he wasn't keeping watch now. Could she?
She tried sitting up. It worked. She rushed towards the door and opened it. Nobody was in sight. Everybody was busy fighting or healing. This was her shot. She could escape and launch her spell.
She looked beside the window lined along the corridor. She could still see Yuji leading his team to victory. He was beating the crap out of everyone he came across with. Sure, that was supposed to be bad for her, but she didn't feel that bothered. She was getting entertained by Yuji's battling. She had to admire his strength and determination. She was turning red just thinking about this.
But still, she had to be mad. Her minions were getting defeated by mere Flame Haze! What? Okay, now it was serious. She had to avoid thinking about that baka Yuji and start with her plans.
She ran towards the balcony, where she could easily be seen by the others. Yes, there was the perfect spot, where everyone could see the terror she'd be bringing to them. But she hadn't expected meeting somebody there, let alone…
"Yuji? W-what are you doing here?" she asked.
He took a step closer towards her, and she could feel her heartbeat race. Each step near her, the more her face turned red.
"What makes you think I'd let you run rampant around here by yourself, huh?" he answered, nearing her.
He smirked. "I just noticed. This is the first time you addressed me as something besides baka or a fool."
Another step closer.
"I believe the more appropriate question is what you are doing here, Megami."
"Well…whatever I'm doing here, I highly doubt you can do anything to stop me." She said, moving away from Yuji.
She began chanting words that nobody could recognize. That was where everything turned horrible. The sunny sky became covered in bloody shaded clouds, filled with terrible lightning. Everything was shaded in red darkness, and massive lightning struck down, destroying anything in its path.
The Megami stopped speaking for a while, and opened her eyes. Looking at Yuji, she spoke again.
"You could come with me, you know."
"What?"
"I said, come with me. Back to Earth."
"No way! Never! I am never going anywhere with you. I am going to stay here, with my Shana, and live our peaceful lives together. You have no place in all of that, and I'm here to make that possible."
"Fine. Be it."
"What have you done here, Megami?"
"This spell…creates a portal back to Earth and destroys Xanadu. It will take me and all who wish to return to Earth along with it. If you do not wish to get destroyed, I think you should join me. Soon my spell will complete itself, and you will all perish, if you don't wish to come along, you shall die along with them."
"I will not go with you anywhere. And Xanadu will not get destroyed, I'll make sure of that by stopping you!" he yelled, trying to attack her with his sword.
She dodged and activated Shana's flame wings, hovering above Yuji.
"Well then. So be it. You refuse my offer, you die. You will be destroyed along with Xanadu! Wahahahahha!" she exclaimed, flying off.
Yuji failed to catch her, but he did get to hear her parting words before she left.
"You are a fool, Sakai Yuji. It's always about your beloved Flame Haze. Have you not realized she's gone? You are stupid to believe that she still is."
She left, and Yuji replied to the question she left behind.
"You are the fool, Megami. I am sure Shana is still alive. She's in there, somewhere, and I have the job of setting her free, even if I have to face you. I will get her back, I have my word on that."
A voice, obviously the Megami's, echoed her reply.
"Good luck then, Sakai Yuji. Let's see you try to get her from me. Wahahahahha!"
Sigh…this chapter is still short. Sorry everyone! Oh, and either tomorrow or the day after that, I shall update my final chapter for this story, then I believe it might be a temporary farewell, as my storied will only be updated once a week from that time on. Jaa ne! Hope you keep reading my stories!
Oh, and if you're GruVia fans, for Fairy Tail, I've also made a story for that, and I think I'll be making more sometime soon. Thank you all!
