Dark and Light

~Siegrain VS Gajeel~

Thanks to babylovee's review I found renewed motivations for the story as well as from Erza Scarlet. I guess I must write on, for all my readers that enjoyed reading it which I know for a fact that Gentleheart and Arduriel does! It's all thanks to you faithful readers that I finally decide to write again, for you! :D

As Siegrain neared the doorway, he hesitantly turned the doorknob before steeping out, too afraid that if he turns around…he wouldn't have the courage to face a sleeping Erza that he had lied to. So without turning around he stepped out with a soft click of the door behind him. On the other side of the door, he paused for a moment before whispering. "Erza, forgive me."

Then he left for the Woods.

As soon as Siegrain left, Erza's teary eyes flashed open. Siegrain actually couldn't bring himself to harming her too much; therefore she never even fainted in the first place. That was all an act. Sitting up, she wiped away her flowing tears that gleamed under the lights of the room's lamps…she had heard his words during her act, and no way would she allow him to leave for Heaven alone!

The Woods are dark and eerie in the midnight, although it was summer a majority of trees are still bare with little leaves. The wood black and twisted, those branches are of hooked claws that shook in the wind. Moonlight are incapable of penetrating through those snarling branches, therefore contributed to the atmosphere of the sinister Woods Truly, no one would venture out. That must be one thing Gajeel had put into consideration. The ground was unsteady and unsuitable for cars and such to intrude; Gajeel had been surprisingly intelligent to even prepare barriers for Rune Knights using the land itself.

As the calm blue male ventured deeper into the black forest, his piercing tea green eyes soon located a man dressed in black with crimson red eyes. He stood with arms crossed as he waited for Siegrain's approach. Studs still engraved his face, and yet it seems that those few months without Tower of Heaven had weakened him for he had gotten thin.

Calmly and yet cautious, Siegrain approached the muscular man with hands tucked in his pocket and yet ready for battle at any time. Once Gajeel saw Siegrain which is not hard considering his white button down shirt, the man glared at Siegrain before snarling, "You dared to come alone, I'll count you as a man instead of a coward there. Today I will avenge all brothers of Tower of Heaven, including your twin brother Jellal!"

Siegrain sighed as his eyes narrowed in pain, "I had contributed to a factor of Jellal's death. Therefore I have no words to say. Bring it on, Gajeel."

"Awesome! Prepare for your death, Siegrain!" Gajeel gave a beastly roar before lunging forward with a punch aimed for Siegrain's face. Surprisingly it was not as easy as he had assumed it to be, the blue haired man was unexpectedly fast as his head tilted slightly to avoid the whirlwind speed punch.

For a moment Gajeel's eyes enlarged in surprise while Siegrain wore a smirk at the outline of his lips. Sinking down, Siegrain planted one hand down to the earthy clay below. He then lifted one leg while the other served as support as he slammed it against Gajeel's black boots, thus knocking him off balance.

But Gajeel did not crash to the ground, as expected. Instead, using his hands as supports; he flipped away from his attacker before his eyes glowed with renewed admiration. "How fun, it seems as if I've underestimated you. I must say you aren't too bad, and your attacks somehow similar to Jellal's."

"What else do you expect?" Siegrain replied curtly as he rose to his feet. "We grew up together, and shared everything we knew and learned of."

"But there are no chances for you to win, Sieg!" Charging forward, Gajeel presented a round horse kick, but Siegrain blocked with his arms, crossed before him. Gajeel's attacks grew more and more powerful as he realized that Siegrain wasn't as easy as he had expected. This is after all twin brother of a man he once served under, connected by the same warrior bloods.

Gajeel's punches are storming whirlwinds, his kicks fast as lightning, as if he was tempted for a kill in one shot. Yet surprisingly Siegrain wasn't at all fazed as he dodged and blocked at broke away Gajeel's well, uniformed attacks. His eyes are always dull and his face expressionless, but from within those green orbs Gajeel seems to see the glint of mocking.

Gajeel was not only surprised, but growing furious as well. His murderous trance grew as his attacks grew even deadlier; he's completely a crazed beast. From those crazy attacks, Siegrain was forced to back up…and then suddenly his foot was tripped by a large stone. Instantly his eyes enlarged in fear as he sank down from the lack of balance. No! Gajeel's lips instantly broke into a sadistic grin as his flew into the air after him; fist lunged forward towards Siegrain…was everything truly over?

What happens next? I don't know… just kidding. I plotted everything since the first chapter. Sorry if I got names and techniques wrong in the fight…I never really got into a fight before except during a play with my friends. Sorry for the short chapter, but the next one will be better! Hope you still enjoyed it nonetheless. Drop reviews and have a great day! :P
