Eh so yeah the last chapter was pretty crappy :/

I like this one a lot better though...so yeah. Enjoy!

"Congratulations," said Bel, "You've figured out my technique."

Gokudera let go of the wire holding up the mannequin and allowed it to clatter to the floor, smirking.

"Ushishishi..." whispered Belphegor, "...but it won't help you."

Gokudera raised his eyebrows. "You sure about that?"

They stood there, staring at each other for a few moments, the tension rising. I myself was petrified, still shocked about the fact that Gokudera was alive. I could feel my hands shaking and I clenched my fists.

Gokudera then shouted, "ROCKET BOMBS!", throwing a new batch of bombs in Bel's vicinity.

Is this his new technique?, I thought.

Bel stood in the same place, obviously doubting Gokudera's attack. I couldn't blame him, I was doubting it too. It was the same attack as before.

Suddenly the dynamite changed directions in midair, while also gaining speed. Now they were headed on a one way route to Bel's head.

I saw a slight look of shock on Bel's face, before- BOOM.

The sound was so terrifying that I literally screamed. Tsuna grabbed my arm.

"Are you alright Melody-chan?" he asked me.

I caught my breath. "Er..." Crap, did I really scream THAT loud? Loud enough for them to here it over the freaking explosion?

"I'm fine." I said, yanking my arm away from him a little too forcefully and gluing my eyes to the tv screen.

A strange feeling had arisen in my chest, and I felt full of regret. I hadn't talked to Bel, my best friend, that much since he got here. I hadn't gotten the chance to even laugh with him once in eight years. He had to be on the opposing side, and now...now...he might be dead. And I never even got the chance to spend time with him. Eight years of waiting and this is the end.

I wanted to look away from the screen, but I couldn't. I didn't want to see Bel dead, but I longed to see what was there when the smoke cleared.

I heard a faint "Ushishishi."

Okay, he's alive.

"Ushishishi..."

Wait, somethings different about this laugh.

"Shishi...Ushishishi.."

"Oh...No..." I whispered, still staring at the screen.

"USHISHISHIIIIIII!"

Dang.

"You spilled...my...blood...my royal blood...I am a prince...I am a PRINCE! How...how dare you..."

The smoke had cleared and I could see the scene. Bel was sort of sitting on the ground, laughing his head off, flailing his arms around, covered in blood. Gokudera just looked plain uncomfortable.

Bel continued, "And...to take...my princess Melody...away from...me..."

I felt my face prickle and blush, feeling everyone's stare upon me. I wanted to go sit in a corner and hide.

"I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Bel shouted, adjusting his tiara, dripping with blood, on his now strawberry colored hair.

Gokudera looked a bit taken back, but just adjusted his stance, clutching a stick of dynamite.

From behind me I could hear Mammon say, "When Bel sees his own blood, his true genius shows."

I looked back at him. "But you," he said, looking at me, "should already know that right?"

I narrowed my eyes at him. I wanted to punch him, right here; right now. But instead I turned around and resumed watching the battle, fuming.

Bel was now throwing a raging storm of knives at Gokudera, who had retreated to the library. Bel smirked, and started making his way to the library.

It looked like something out of a horror movie. Bel was covered in red, and was crawling towards the "library" sign. I mean like he was literally grabbing onto whatever he could hold and staggering, laughing manically the entire time. A blanket of smoke half concealed his presence.

A monster's making its way to you, Gokudera, I thought.

The smoke fogged up the screen again, and we couldn't see what was going on. However, we did here a lot of things smashing and objects falling down. When the smoked cleared up we saw Gokudera, crouching over Bel's bloody body.

He's not...

"Wait." Said the Cervello.

Dead...

"The Battle isn't over yet." They continued.

Right?

"The two halves of the rings need to be put together for a win."

So...well...that could still mean that Bel was alive right? The battle wasn't finished? But then...he could also be dead, since the objective is to put the ring together...not to kill one another...

All I want is for Belphegor to be alive. I don't care who wins.

Gokudera reached down to yank the ring and chain from Bel's neck, when suddenly...

And exhausted Bel, shot his arm up and grabbed Gokudera.

"OH. MY. GOD." I said. I gasped in shock. I'm not gonna lie...that was terrifying...Bel looked like a zombie coming back to life.

"This is for my girl." I heard Bel say, and he leaped over Gokudera, climbing on top of him. Gokudera was thrashing, trying to beat Bel.

They rolled around and around, knocking over a few bookshelves here and there.

It. Was. Intense. But all I could think about was, "This is for my girl."

My ears were ringing with that sentence.

"The hurricane turbines have started to explode, approximately one minute until it reaches the library."

I whipped my head back to the guardians behind me. They were freaking out.

"HIEEEE! Gokudera get yourself out of there!" yelled Tsuna.

Oh my. I was panicking. Suuuppperr panicking. Those two idiots out there were both my friends. They need to stop fighting and get the heck out of there. Who cares who wins the battle, they need to live!

Tsuna was thinking along the same lines. He was literally yelling my thoughts out to Gokudera.

"Gokudera-kun! Cut the Crap! We need to have fun again...go see the fireworks..."

We saw Gokudera's figure stop moving.

5...4...3...

"GOKUDERA! BEL!" I screamed.

Now Bel's figure stopped moving.

2...1...

And then the library exploded. It really exploded.

The sound the boom made was enourmous, and I clutched my ears. I needed to know what was going on though, who survived, who won, what happened...

I stared at the screen, which surprisingly was still running. I was trembling, my eyes were on the verge of tears, sweat streaked my face, but most of all, I felt as if a little bit of my soul had died.

The screen was still fogged up with the ash from the explosion, but soon it would be time to find out it a soul had really died in the battle.
