A/N: Okay this is the next chapter yay! I've decided (WITH THE HELP OF MIKO HATOME) to write a third installment to this ongoing series, but I don't have a title yet, but when I get one I'll be sure to let everyone know so that when it comes out you can read it!

Disclaimer: I do not own YYH, HIM, MCR or any other trademarked thing I use in this story.

Chapter 21: Determination

(important note at bottom!)

"You see, I have a goal of taking you down." Iiro said with a wicked smile on his face. "You're protecting the Forbidden child? My Iiro, you really have sunken to an all time low." Valo stated which caused Iiro's look to only intensify.

"I'm not protecting him, I'm following orders."

"So this will be how it ends, you and I, brother against brother, in a fight to the death?" Iiro's look fell his white hair before his eyes, "you're my own blood Valo, I will love you as one past the day that I die, but if I have to kill you for the reasons of my goal, then I shall."

Valo smiled, tilting his head up, "I feel the same way dear brother." He gripped the hilt of his katana tighter, "let us begin this then." He then suddenly charged at his brother.

-

"Everything we do from here on out will determine the future." Lelee drew out the blade attached to her side as Juhani spoke, her blue eyes narrowed on Juhani.

Her mind was racing, she didn't want to kill the shadow demon, but something told her that if she didn't he would kill her, and have no remorse about it either.

Juhani smiled and unsheathed his own blade, a pure black blade that had Leleel confused for the moment.

"We shall make history." Leleel took a stance and kept an eye on her target, "I've heard that before." A small smirk appeared on her face, and he held his tongue.

"I have no care about this war Juhani, or making history, we're already sealed in time for the acts we've committed in the past." She stated and still he held his silence. "I only care about what happens to my sister, and what happens to you."

His smirk grew into a smile. "I'm so glad you care that much about me Leleel." She glared hard at him.

"I meant that I want you dead Juha." The smile still stayed, "you're going to have to fight me for that one."

She instantly charged towards him, her speed surprised the shadow demon and he still blocked her blade and stepped back, swinging one at her. "Why would you want me dead Leleel?"

He was feeding her anger, they both realized, Juhani wanted Leleel to fight him with reason as well as at her best , so that when he took her down they could both know that it was her best.

… He sounded conceded.

"Because when you left you took my heart with you."

He jumper high over her and shrugged his shoulders, "what else was I supposed to take, when you left me so viciously and after all that happened." Juhani said with an almost innocent smile.

A growl was emitted from the back of Leleel's throat, she had nothing to say to him as of now. She swung her blade at him, resulting in him phasing away from it, on the other side of the room.

Being in the room, and the time that they were in gave Juhani all the upper hands, dark clouds over a night sky in Komorum left the city in darkness, (it's past 12 sometime) and the lack of candles within the room gave Juhani the upper hand.

Even so, she was determined to take him down on these terms, despite all her better interests though.

"You know I never wanted anything like this to happen." Juhani stated in a suave tone clashing blades together with the light demon ruler. "Then why did you let it?" She took a chance, stabbing her katana at his quick form, she succeeded only in cutting him through the left side; yanking the blade back, red droplets fell on her white clothes.

"I did nothing of the sort, but you were the one my dear, who made all the foul moves." She growled, letting his words get to her and resulting in him cutting her through the arm.

-

Hiei ran down the hall now nearly covered with the blood of both shadow demon and light demon from the ones he had killed.

He stopped suddenly looking around the open path that he was on, normally he had a wonderful sense of direction, but the white stone halls and streets of Komorum set him off too much and he finally lost his way around.

He looked around, "dammit." He cursed, Shi had masked her energy, she had definably gotten better at it then the last time he had trained with her.

He continued on with his search, flitting up to a higher level, where he was met by two light demon soldiers. Hiei's eyes narrowed on them as they smirked and stated towards him. He held his ground, standing perfectly still until they were in reach of his katana.

Then suddenly he flitted behind them, and almost instantly their bodies fell apart in a waterfall of bloodshed.

He looked back only once, "hn, pathetic." He said under his breath and continued onwards as he decided to get to the highest level of the city, where he had last sensed Shi's ki.

-

Shi stopped in place, her katana formed in her hand, a swarm of light demons (in a high class) before her. Plans of action began to swarm in her head too fast for her own comprehension.

Shi silenced them down and took a deep breath in order to calm her body down for the moment, her eyes slipped closed while she kept a vigilant look on the demons before her.

She lowered her ki down till it was practically nonexistent, something Valo had taught her to do. She reopened her eyes on her targets, a smirk that told her enemy they would soon meet their death on her face.

"Come on, I've already killed some of your other soldiers!" The light demons drew their swords and aimed them at her, a line of demons were bundled together down the whole topless hall she was standing on.

The swarm of demons charged towards her, she clashed blades with the first one while trying to keep and eye on the other numbers that swarmed around her.

A/N: Alright I know that this chapter is shorter than what I've been producing but this was really the first part of the war, and the next chapter will be what happens to all of them, and it should be somewhat longer I'm hoping.

IMPORTANT NOTE: While reading this chapter and the next one, it is important to keep in mind that all of these battles are going on around the same time, I just have to break it up into battles to keep it more organized.

I'll update soon!
