Chapter 12

Unbounded

'well look at what we have here?' if it isn't Heero the death shadow?'Sho mocked him in fake compassion. 'No mask no squadron, it looks like your don't even care about hiding your identity anymore.'

Sho then unsheathed his sword and the blade at Heero. 'Get up I think it is time to settle our score'. Sho ordered while Heero merliy shifted his eye's away from Sho. If you want to take away my life then do it, for I have nothing else to live for. He responded with despair in his voice.

Sho however just rolled his eyes in annoyance at the remark. 'Pitiful, I suppose I should expected this from you after all you did assault against your own Captain and liuitant on a direct order, all because of some women you fell for and even when you save her sorry ass she rejected you like as if it was your fault that her family was killed... even through you did every in your power to prevent such a thing from ever happening'

When Sho finish explaining Heero''s jaw spat upon in shock. 'How...how did you know all that?'
he question the spiked haired teen. 'Were you spying on me?'

'No' Sho answered him. 'my master just told me', oh and if your still unwilling to fight I brought a little something for you. Sho then drop his trench coat over his shoulder's and on his back was a black zipped body bag strapped around his waist Sho then unstrapped the banes around him and then tossed the body bag at Heero's feet.

Hastily the white haired shinigami unzipped the bag and upon seeing what was inside almost made his heart explode with horror and made his face frozen in absolute shock.

'You may think you don't have a reason to live Kunsige but I think this well change your mind.'
Sho said as Heero continue to look at the burn out corpse of Kangome the women that he loved and rejected him.

'Why?' he asked with sadness and hatred in his voice trembling with each word he spoke. 'Why did you killed her like this?'

'Why?' Sho mocked him 'To Give you a reason to fight me of course, if I were to kill when were all emo it wouldn't be that much different from stabbing an already dead foe.

'You sick bastard!' Heero Roared at him in rage. 'You think that this is some sort of game for your own amusement !'

'Of course' Sho retorted in an almost hysterical tone. 'Otherwise you wouldn't be this motivated!'

From hearing that from Sho, Heero stood up from the ground and stared at Sho with ey's filled with malice, while Sho continue to smile at Heero like a cheeky fox.

'It seems that you finally going to fight me' he said as he draws out his zanpunkto. 'Hopefully you will last longer than our last-!'

But before Sho could even finish his sentence Heero suddenly appeared right in front of him, his sword only a hair each away from slicing through Sho's neck before the later swiftly block the blow at the last second.

That however was not the end of Heero's assault as he then launches a barrage of sword stabs thrusts and high and low kicks from his feet with blinding speed and destructive power as he attack at different angles and points on Sho's body all at once as he struggled to hold up his defense and when Heero was finally finish with his relentless attack on Sho, who was practically unscathed, was dripping with sweat and gasping for so much air that it looked like he was having a heart attack.

'Impossible' Sho thought in disbelief. ' He was no were near this strong during the last time I fought him… could it be that he was just holding back last time ? As Sho continue to pondered on what had just transpire. He notice that Heero remained unfazed after his relentless attack as he continue to glare at Sho with blood lust.

Sho then growled at him and then launch a arc of lighting from his Zanpunktoa Raigkie, but Heero much to Sho's shock run straight into the attack and before the eleticty could touch him Heero released his own Zanpunktao Sheikyo and absorb the electricity into his blade in instance while in the same move slash his blade directly at Sho' face.

Fortunately Sho was able to dodge the blow by doing a back flip, launch himself from the ground and then gather the spiritual energy around him in the air and was soon standing several dozen feet in the sky. But when he look down at the ground below him Heero was gone, however he only need a second to realize that the white haired shinigami was right behind him already pose to strike as Heero swung his Zanpunktoa down at his head, but Sho countered it by igniting his zanpatuo with electricity and wave over his head just before Heero's sword could spilt his body in two and when the two blades it unleashed a shockwave so powerful that sent the spike haired man sparring through the sky like a shot out bullet until was able to righted himself by pressing down on his feet and sided himself to a halt.

'Whats the matter?' Heero said to Sho in a dark, cold yet imitating voice. 'Isn't this what you wanted to fight me at full?' Heero question to his foe, but Sho remained silenced unable to come with a comeback as he is still gasping for air and above all still frighten by Heero massive display of power.

When Heero didn't hear an answer he then stared at his reflection of the blade of his Zanpunktoa Shiekyo. 'You know for the past two years, I've always been holding back during the times I hunted down ryouka in fear that I might kill them and give chamber 46 an excuse to deliver out the exhaustion order' Heero then looked out to the horizon again seeing the fires that spread throughout the city.

'But now that order is already being carried out, I can now unleash my full power on you without consequence.' Soon after his speech Heero raised his sword to the left side of him 'Kungo Kuruio' he muttered as the blade color of his Zanpunkto then changed to a black that was so dark that it looked like a tear in the fabric of space, then an actual sword anymore and upon its transformation the air suddenly became freezing cold and darkness rapidly began to shroud the area as the light of the moon and lanterns began to fade away.

'I suggest you make whatever prayers you have now vermin' Heero said in voice so horrifying, that Sho felt like his heart just burst upon in sheer fright as streams of cold sweet began running down his body and his skin went numb with Goosebumps. 'Because no force of heaven or earth can save you from me, sending your miserable hid to hell!

With that final threat Heero then lunged at Sho with montusis speed and sung his sword at him and while Sho was able to side step away he watch in horror as his opponents zanpunkto absorbed all the heat and light from the area he swipe his sword at leaving a trail of pitch black shadow and pure frozen white layer of frost on the ground below, but Sho only had a half a instant before Heero turn around without even slowly down from the last attack and slash his Zanpunkto at Sho's general direction before he, flash stepped a half dozen feet away from the murderous shinigami.

'Unbelievable' Sho thought as he readied his stance. ' Thought that by showing a corpse of his girl friend would give him some motivation to fight me' Sho said in thought as he looked at the now black pitch form of Shikiyo. ' …But to this extent, it seems that if get even grazed by that dame blade even once-' Sho then stopped himself, as he took another look at the blacked blade which seem to almost scream with relentless hunger, Sho then narrowed his eyes. 'No if I so much as get in the very general direction of were that Zanpunkto's blade faces, I'll be killed in an instant.

Heero then lunged at Sho with even greater than before, in which force him to retreat further into the sky to avoid being frozen to death by Heero's sword. Soon the entire battle became a game of cat and mouse as the Shinigami ran after each other around the park and then later to Tokyo tower as Heero continue to slash his sword at sho with no prevail, leaving trails of white frost that covered most of the buildings in the area and the red beams that hold up the tower, yet with each failed strike Heero's attacks became more accurate and more flexible, while Sho could't even make a counter attack, with the fatal risk of coming in contact with Heero's Zanpunkto.

Eventually the two were rushing up right above Tokyo tower, Sho being so exhausted that he was leaning on one knee, while Heero looked as if he hadn't even broken a sweat while still chasing Sho through the air, 'Dame it, if I dodging him like this I'll die for sure' Sho thought in desperation as looked back at Heero closing in on him 'but, not to die here not by him!' Sho then winded his eye's in dismay as Heero dispersed from sight, expecting the same move from before, Sho then dodge a sword thrust at his head but to his shock he saw that the sword was in fact thrown at him and just right after its handle pass by his head, a hand from out of nowhere grab the handle and swung the sword at the back Sho's face.

The spike haired shinigami was able flash stepped out of the point blank attack, but not completely unharmed as his right arm was completely frozen from the inside out, skin, flesh, nerves and blood, his arm lagging from his body like a stone limb attach to flesh.

Sho with a cry of angst used his zanpunkto to sever his frozen limb from his body, the frozen piece of flesh falling to the ground with a thud.

'Dame, dame you!' Sho shouted at Heero in a mix between panic and anger. 'I'm not going to… I'm not going to… I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU KILL, NOT BEFOE I BEFORE YOU!' Sho wailed at the top of his voice his face stretched with pure hatred, fear and insanity, the face of an animal who bares its fangs when cornered by its predator.

Sho then raised his Zanpunkto high into the air as waves of lighting sparkled around light a touch of lighting. 'You said that no force of heaven or earth will save me from you sending me to hell?' Sho said his voice a mixture between a whimper and laugh. 'Well, LET ME TELL YOU THAT I AM A FORCE BEYOND HEAVEN, EARTH AND HELL!' Sho raged as dark clouds begain to cover the night sky as streaks of lighting flash across the horizon and thunder exploding through the clouds.

'And I will prove it by desegregated your entire body to ash!' Sho continue to wail as the dark clouds began to swirl around his blade as flashes of electricity, sparkled around it, like a vortex of energy. Then the vortex expanded width and the electricity glowed bright yellow so bright that illuminated the sky like a second sun and shining away the darkness of the night. Then the energy vortex continues to grow until it was over 65 feet tall.

Then the vortex began to take shape slowly forming humanoid the face of a nose, a mouth, two eyes and pointed ears and then it was finally fully form the vortex had transform in the viscous demonic like face of a thunder god, with for razor shape teeth that extended on the four end sides of his mouth, pointed ears, flashing white eye's and a orb in the center of its forehead as waves of lighting sparked out from his muscles.

'Mestu tenka' Sho thought to himself. 'is the ultimate technique, of the shiki state of my zanpunkto Radgkei from which calls upon the power of the storms themselves to vanquish all foe's in its grasp and leave nothing of their remains but black smear on the ground. 'But it order to use this attack I must use all my spiritual energy into it and since over half of my power was drain by that zanpunkto Shikyo I lack the power needed to use this technique at its full potential.

Sho then narrowed his gaze on Heero, which despite see the god like lighting face before him, he remain complete unfazed by it, which cause Sho to growl in arrogance. 'But even so it should be more than a enough to finish him off!'

'DIE HEERO KUNGESIE, DIE AND DISPSER FROM THIS WORLD FOREVER!' Sho shouted and laugh hysterically as he launch the 65 foot face at Heero with flashing speed while screaming at him in absolute rage before making contacted with the white haired shinigami and exploded in a massive explosion of light, that was so huge that it be seen and felt throughout Tokyo as a huge ball of pure energy engulfed the entire sky below Tokyo and as it began to die down Sho felt a since of relief.

'It's over…' Sho said calmly as he looked at the explosion continue to dim out. 'It's finally over.'

However Sho's state of enjoyment was shattered when the explosion began to suddenly shift in shape and form and then it began to swirl around shirink rapidly in size.

'No..' He said as he continue to look onward at the site as he cried in frustration and in despair. 'No…No, this can't be happing I shouldn't be seeing this' he continue to whimper as the waves of energy finally died down relieving Heero, absorbing the energy into his blade and relatively unharmed, except for his burnt right hand and arm from which he hold shikyo.

'WHY WON'T YOU JUST DIE!' Sho cried in desperation as tears began leak down from his eyes.

Heero just ignored the his opponents cries, however when the explosion finally settled down he didn't fully absorb the energy that still swirled around his blade, instead it continue to flare up and flicker from the zanpankto's blade.

But before Sho could even register on what just happen Heero flash stepped right in front of him and sung his sword down at Sho, causing another explosion that sent blowing straight to the ground and upon smacking into the concert created a huge crater that sent dust and rumble everywhere.

Heero then flash stepped to the crash site of were Sho landed as the energy that once imitated from his blade is gone as he walked toward the fallen shinigamie, Heero saw that his head was bleeding his covered with burns, bruise and scratches, his clothes torn to pieces and along with seeing the stump of his severed arm.

Then Sho open his eye's gaze at Heero with contempt no longer he channel any of the limitless power of zanpunkto as his body was to weakened to that without scorching him alive and he is so depleted of spiritual power, that he barley have the strength to talk.

'Will, what are waiting for' Sho said to Heero. 'Aren't you going to kill me and send me to hell…like you said you would?' Sho Heero.

Heero then sighed as the hatred and bloodlust in his eyes were replaced with despair and regret.

'And tell me will killing you will bring back Kangome, will it' Heero said harshly at him. 'I…just realized that by seeing of how pathetic you are now when bested, will not bring Kangome back nor will make her forgive me and I'll be dame if I ever lower myself to you.'

Heero then sheath his zanpantkto and began to walk away, but before he could take another step a masked man with hollow mask flash stepped in front of him and punch him in the gut, knocking out the white haired as he stumble towards the ground.
