Calmly, I bent down and pulled the sword out of his stomach, wiping the blood on his already blood-caked shirt. One of my black ki blasts enveloped the sword, obliterating it to less than ash. The body…I picked it up with disgust, throwing it to land on top of his father's. Well that was that…wasn't it…I looked around slowly once more, just to make sure there were no more hiding anywhere. It was getting late. Good. More shadows. A shadow flitted across me, as if to emphasize my words. I started walking back to the pillars, when something struck me as wrong. Something…cold? A dull pain sizzled in my eyes. Reaching up, I brushed my fingers across my forehead and was surprised to find, when I looked at them, silver blood. My blood. What happened…? I dismissed the thought wearily and decided a chip of the sword must have got me. It was still troublesome though. I walked quickly to a shallow stream that ran by, and stuck my silver-streaked hands into it. Almost immediately the water turned dark, and all living in it died. No matter. I washed the cut with the black, churning water and felt something cold touch my arm. Again? That was no sword chip…Blood welled up from a new cut on my arm, dripping slowly down my foul skin. Muttering under my breath, I stood up slowly and once again examined my surroundings. Everybody lay were they were killed. No blade of grass was crushed, no flower bent. It was as quiet and still as I left it. Then…what…? I shuddered as a drop of my blood hit the ground, and hurriedly washed it away. The water stung. I should be able to sense whoever it is…Angrily, I searched the skies as yet another "something" happened and a new wound opened itself up on my cheek. I waited…waited…Waited for what? What was I waiting for? I was placidly surprised at the fact that whatever it was that was cutting me was doing a very nice job of not being seen. This puzzled me in a way. I had always been able to sense people, no matter their level, no matter if they tried to hide it. I closed my eyes for a moment and reached out with my mind and what was left of my soul. Nothing…emptiness…My eyes snapped open. I was sourly disappointed that I still couldn't sense it. "Show yourself!!" The wind blew sand across my feet. That irritated me. Many things I couldn't stand, but not being answered was right up there. Especially if I knew that person was there. "If you don't show yourself right now…!!" I wasn't sure what I was going to do, but the threat was enough to cause a stir in a near-by bush. A gasp almost escaped me when I saw a neat cut open in my palm. The bushes had stopped moving. It can't be that fast…it can't be! Nothing is that fast…My voice rang loud and clear as I tossed another threat out to the hiding foe. The person, though, who did finally step out of the bushes, was the one person I wasn't expecting. Never. Expected. Him. A sneer danced in his dark, cold eyes, "Good to see you again…little brother…" That was enough to send a chill down my spine…
