ENJOOOY~!
I really don't feel like fighting today at all. It's not that I can't, I'm just not feeling well. I just want to stay in my room and do nothing all day. What I saw last night was so horrible! I hated the camera man for zooming in on my dad's face and revealing his empty eye sockets. I couldn't sleep a wink! I was afraid that I will have nightmares. The only people that I knew who could've done this are the one and only Genei Ryodan. I can't explain how angry I am right now but since I was gifted with calmness, I managed a little. Last night, Zachary couldn't contain himself. He was enraged and punched the wall causing it to be pulverized. Despite the fact that I only saw my parents through one picture, I knew that they were good people. I didn't blame them from abandoning me because I'm sure that there's a good reason for it. I'm not sure what the reason is but the fact that they are now dead is unshakable. My match is still in about 3 hours so I had a lot of time to calm down even more, though it didn't work. All I wanted to do now is to kill the Genei Ryodan for what they did. I've never felt this way before. I know that hatred is wrong but this time....I can't explain it entirely! ARGH! I don't know what to do!
(No One's POV)
Emina sat on her bed and covered her face with her hands. Her eyes indeed, turned crimson as the hatred, anger and sadness built up in her heart. She didn't want to go to the match for she knew that she might lose control of her emotions. It was silent in her room. The only thing that could be heard is the dropping of water from the tub and the clock ticking, making time move forward. Suddenly, a new sound was introduced. If someone listens closely, they could faintly hear the tear drops from Emina's eyes. Tears flooded her eyes and accumulated in her hands. She lifted her hands and gasped in shock. Instead of normal tears, she saw scarlet tears on her hand. The first thing Emina thought was that she was crying blood or had a cut somewhere near her eyes but she didn't find any. She was glad to have a new discovery about herself but the scarlet color of it reminded her of the Scarlet eyes and yet again, she cried harder, more with anger than in sadness but both were present. She took a random towel from the stand next to her bed and wiped away her tears. She stood up and looked in the mirror. Her eyes were puffy from crying and the color was still crimson. She closed her eyes for about 5 minutes, concentrating hard but not showing it. When she opened them again, her eyes were back to their clear blue color. She stepped under the shower, cold water making her senses keener. After that, she took out the clothes that she bought yesterday and put them on
She also didn't feel like putting her black cloak on like she usually does. She took her katana and the bag of kunais and strapped them on her belt. She took her key and locked her room. On the way out, she saw Zachary on the way. Neither spoke but both knew one another's feelings. The feeling of hatred and irritation for the fact that they couldn't do anything. Before they entered the battle ring, Zachary put a hand on Emina's shoulders and looked her straight in the eyes. It seems that he was still emotional seeing as his eyes were still scarlet. Emina nodded, agreeing to the silent request and headed to the ring. The crowd roared as both contestants stepped inside. "Here, my friends, we have Emina! Our own skillful beauty. She arrived at the 200th floor in one day!! Now folks, don't be deceived by her appearance for she is a deadly fighter!" the announcer continued on, ranting about her skills. All she did though was to think. She thought of nothing special, just thinking."Opposing her is one of the 200th floor's champions, Kyo!!" The crowd roared even more. They cheered for Kyo who, in the meantime, was waving at the crown breezily. While the announcer started ranting about him now, Emina eyed him closely. He wasn't the type that she was used to. Not the bulky hulk type of opponent. Actually, he was the complete opposite! He wasn't that buff but his body was well toned. He was tan in complexion; had red hair and black eyes. Pretty good looking despite the aura that he gave off. Emina knew that he knows Nen and was pretty good at it. Despite the growing tension in the crowd, all she did was...stare blankly; still in shock of what happened last night. She didn't even hear when the referee started the match.
"Wow, you're really prettier than I thought," Kyo mocked rather than complementing. Seeing as she wasn't doing to respond, he continued, "Too bad we met here. If we've met somewhere else, it would've been better."
"..." Emina just stared at him blankly.
"Aren't you gonna attack me?"
More staring as if nothing existed. The only thing she was aware of was her heart. "It's really not my thing to battle girls but it couldn't be helped." Without warning, he produced Nen needles and threw them towards her. She dodged it easily but did not see the next group of them. She miscalculated and realized that he was aiming for her face. Her eyes widened. Her first impulse was to shield her face with her hands. She skidded to a stop with her arms crossed in front of her face. The needles were stuck deep in her skin and she was now heavily bleeding. She tried to take them off but couldn't since the opponent is still attacking. She didn't have an ounce of energy to fight.
15 minutes later, she was covered with blood. The score was 7-0 with her still having none. Kyo was snickering but it was evident that he was unsatisfied. He took a break from his none-stop attack and looked at Emina. Her pale face was spotted with blood that made her look as if she was crying blood. Her arms were pierced with his Nen needles and were bleeding too, so was her feet. But, he wasn't going to win without any fight from her. As he observed her, he thought of something.
"You know, you look familiar," he stated making Emina look up slowly. "Where have I seen you before?" It was obvious that he was faking his thinking face. "Ah! I know where I've seen you! Or rather seen someone who looks like you!"
In the crowd, Zachary heard it and knew immediately what the opponent was trying to do. He yelled, "Emina!" Emina did not pay attention and kept her attention to the boy in front of her.
"What are you trying to say?" she said in a low hiss.
"Don't try to avoid it. I know you watched that show last night."
Her eyes flickered and her heart beat quickened. Zachary was almost out of his seat but Tatsuya held on to him.
"Don't tell me you didn't see it. You look exactly like Takeshi Honda! I wonder how he's related to you?" again, he was acting like he was thinking. "Ahh.....perhaps, is he your father?" He was mocking her; getting her mad in order to fight. "Tell me, how does it feel when you saw him like that?" triumph in his tone.
"Shut up," she said under her breath trying to contain herself.
"You must've wanted to fight and cry eh?" he continued.
"Shut up..." her voice quivering now. Not in tears but in anger.
"You must've felt pathetic," he pressed on.
"DAMARE!!!! (Shut up!)"
He hit her last nerve and she shot her head up, looking at him with those crimson eyes. He was taken aback. He wasn't expecting his taunts to be true. He blinked once but when he opened his eyes, she was gone! He looked around; the crowd was silent as they looked for the girl. She suddenly appeared behind him and landed a strong kick on his back. With her speed, she ran to him again and punched him several times in 5 seconds. She hit his vital points, making him weak. She stopped a moment, looking at him with those eyes. "Heh, think...you've beaten me?" Kyo said, trying to stand up.
"I suggest you stay down,"
"And why's that?"
(Emina's POV)
I'm not myself this time. It was as if I was moving without my mind. My guess was that it was the hatred that was controlling me. "And why's that?" I hear Kyo say. I wasn't going to do anything but my body acted on its own. Without my consent, or so I thought, I started to manipulate my Nen. With my eyes crimson, I felt stronger. I looked at him straight in the eyes and the next thing I knew was that he was clutching his head and screaming his lungs out. I heard myself talking, "It'll hurt the more you resist." he didn't stop and to my amazement, I sprang up and kicked him upward. While he was in the air, I brought out 4 kunais and threw it at him, pinning his body to the wall. The whole stadium was silent. Kyo was passed out. I started to leave the ring without looking back. Finally, getting back to his senses, the referee announced, "T-The w-w-inner! E-Emina!!!"
I couldn't comprehend what had just happened. All I knew was that I won, I discovered something and that my blood is running low.
