Man... I just can't do good hangers... I realized, as well as the review from 'Sleeping-force's-inside' that I'll make another chapter, speed it up a bit because I just can't do them damn it! T_T

This should have come next week, but meh, it would take to long to get back to Strife and Death, which is probably what you guys want to see soo...

Ch.11

"Why are you here, War?" her hard voice echoed in the small corridor.

"I could ask the same of you, Fury," he narrowed his eyes.

And although they stood before each other, they kept their hands on their weapons. Both knew something was wrong, but had different views on it.

"I asked first," she almost demanded, gripping her whip tighter.

Hesitating for a few seconds, he spoke: "I came looking for you."

"Why? And where are Death and Strife?"

"All that is important is that they are not here and the reason I sought you out…" she locked her jaw. Whatever his reason, she didn't have time for this right now.

"And what is that?"

"Because I need to know… How did she really die," although the question, nothing betrayed his feelings.

It was different for Fury however, as she took a step back and let out a sharp breath, blinking as she couldn't believe she heard right.

"What do you mean?"

"Tell me the truth!" his outburst made her take another step back, as his blue eyes glowed with something she couldn't really name.

But then it hit her. She didn't have time for this. Not now, not when she was so close. But… no… this was her brother. Her little brother… could she really just blew him off?

"You do not need to shoulder that entire burden, start anew, with the one you love so much…" his words echoed in her head as he eyes glowed a dark blue.

"You want the truth? Here it is, brother," her words sounded poisons.

"You are the one that killed her!" she spoke with the, small, very small, hatred she held. In truth, she knew it was not his fault, but she was not thinking right now. And the truth hit War worse than he had expected.

This time, he moved back, his hand falling to his side as he looked at the ground. He had thought he was prepared for this. From what he saw… he assumed. But now that he really heard it? He couldn't believe it.

"Are you happy now? That you know the reason she's dead?" she hissed, eyes still blue.

"…You really blame me?" he whispered, hints of sadness in his voice.

"…We do…" she whispered back, clenching her fist as she shook with anger.

"Is that… also the reason you treat me the way you do?"

"Yes… You were never loved by us War… deep down, we all hated you," she couldn't keep the words from leaving her mouth.

"No! It's not true! War! Don't listen!" she screamed in her mind, hitting on a glass that held her back.

"Shush now… You need to leave this to me…" came his voice, so gentle as she saw his devilish smirk.

His hands formed fists, as he gritted his teeth and glared at his sister. "Why was I never told?!"

"Because we knew you could not handle it. You would break and drag the rest of us down," her voice and face were emotionless as the words his him harder than any Demon ever could.

At that moment, anger and hatred filled inside him, as he gripped Chaoseater and screamed before charging at the Horsewoman.

"So quick to lose your temper…" she shook her head and brought her whip up, wrapping it around the grand-sword and swinging him down.

Crashing, he created a hole that revealed a lower level, overflowing with lava. Grabbing at the edge, he pulled himself up, his sword still wrapped with the whip.

She pulled again, aiming to throw him to the ground. But he dug the blade into the ground, before jumping in the air and punching the whip-user.

Shocked, she stumbled back and shook it off. It was a bit late, however as War had taken out his weapon and was aiming for her.

Taking quick action, she punched the ground before her, breaking even more of the floor and creating another hole that lead to a very hot bath.

Being mid-air, he didn't have any room to avoid the hole, so he tried to get as further as he could. And he succeeded. It was not his intention to grab the edge. No, it was something very close to it.

"Are you insane?!" she screamed when he grabbed her leg and pulled her along with him. She was able to wrap her whip around a pillar that kept them both up. For the time being anyway.

He grunted as he hit the wall and looked down. He definitely didn't want that bath. And was sure Fury didn't want it either.

"I'm improvising," he shot back and smiled, despite the situation. This was the end then? They were going to die… the pillar won't hold forever.

"You damn fool! You'll kill us both!"

"Might be the idea. Now you'll at least be free of me."

"No War! Don't do it! Please, by the Creator don't do this!" she yelled, her pleading voice echoing in her mind.

"Oh, such a sweet flower shouldn't act like that. And do not worry. Only he shall perish this day," his voice rang again.

She collapsed to her knees as her eyes stared at nothing and were losing focus. It was her fault… she should have known… and now…

"My, my… children these days… Has no one ever told you how to treat a lady?" a completely new voice spoke, this one ancient and powerful.

"Who are you?" they both asked.

"Fury, my dear. Look at you… I am disappointed," the voice ignored the question.

"You… I… I remember you! At the cave where I found the whip!" life suddenly sparked in her.

"Correct. And I'm sure you know now who I am?"

"…G-Grandmother?" she uttered standing.

He felt his grip lessen as well as heard the pillar starting to break. It would all be over soon… but at least he knew now. He wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing really… He'd face them soon anyway.

Letting out a breath, he looked down once again at the lava, and recalled when he first transformed. It was a fire creature. Maybe if he transformed now, he could survive?

"Fury… you can't let someone like that push you around! What would your brothers think if they saw you like this?" as the voice spoke, the glass around the Horsewoman shattered, shocking both her and the invader.

"I will help you this time, because there is a dire situation with your brothers. Honestly, can't you four stay out of trouble?" a light started filling the void, and screams were heard from a male.

He slipped lower and could now feel the heat from the magma. Looking back up, he saw his sister be still and had thought she too had given up. But that changed, when he felt himself moving up and away from the hot bath.

He was on the edge now, and managed to pull himself up to see a panting Fury with her hands on her temples. For a bit, he couldn't do more than stand there, still hardly able to believe they were alive.

After a minute, the female let out a deep breath and opened her eyes, back to their green color. She looked at War for a moment, before closing her eyes and turning to the side, unable to face him.

"War… please… This might sound like an excuse, but what was spoken before… it was not true. I was under Tynan's control…" she whispered, still looking at the wall.

He stayed silent for a bit, eyes on the ground before asking: "How much?"

"…Almost all."

"What was true?"

"The first part… partly. You have to understand-" she looked at him; eyes begging for forgiveness as she seemed on the verge of crying.

"It's alright… I… I think I understand," a small smile made its way on his face as she finally understood what she saw before. He looked lost…

Crawling closer, she hugged him tight and said: "I am sorry… I promise not to let anything like this happen again."

He nodded and hugged her back, closing his eyes and fighting the urge to cry. When they pulled apart she looked at him and added: "We need to find Strife and Death. They're in trouble."

AAAAANNNNDDDD next! This was probably a bit out of character, but I doubt anyone will mind :v Anyway... still not sure if I should wait or post the next chapter so... You'll see soon anyway..-
