11. Payback
Sydney shoved Kairi away and tackled Death.
"I'm going to kill you!" She punched him. "What is wrong with you?!" She continued to attack him.
Kairi watched in horror as Sydney's hair turned black and grew so long, it pooled around her on the ground. The Shadow was clearly visible, haunting over her.
Sydney wrapped her hands around Deaths neck. "Bring him back!"
"I can't!" Death screamed, unable to hide the fear in his voice.
"Why not? You seem to do it a lot! Make him into whatever Kairi is, or one of those Reaper things. I don't care! Just bring him back!"
"It's too late!"
"Asshole! Douche bag! Jackass!" With each word, Sydney found a new spot to hit him. "I will kill you!" Her eyes were solid black and she seemed to be glowing. She held her palm back. A black orb of energy began to grow in her hand. "I think it's time for your payment."
"No!" Death screamed. He grabbed her head and mumbled to himself. Sydney tried to jerk away. A thick pulse sounded from Death's hands. Sydney's eyes turned completely white just as she let go off what was in her hand. It hit Death square in the chest. They both screamed. Sydney collapsed with a solid thud. Her hair slowly turning back to normal and the blackness around her disappeared.
Death pushed her off of him and glared at Kairi. "You…"
Kairi shook with fear and backed away.
"You're supposed to be my loyal servant! Owe me for life! And yet, when I get attacked, you do nothing! Absolutely nothing!" He tried to stand, but fell on his face. Whatever Sydney had hit him with was powerful.
"I'm sorry! I'll do better next time! I promise!" Kairi fumbled backwards, desperate to get away. "Just don't hurt me! Please!"
"Hurt you?" Death lifted his head. "You're lucky I don't torture you for eternity!" He shakily sat up. "I'm done. I have no more use for you." He looked at her and cocked his head to the right.
A sharp pain shot threw Kairi's skull. She fell to her knees and screamed. Her eyes burned. Her heart pounded. Her head exploded.
"Now you have a debt to pay." Death fell back and drifted off into nothing.
