Stained with Blood

Chapter 8: The Struggle

Hachi's heart lept. 'Oh crap!' he thought. 'Why now?'

Heero began to speak. "Hello Hachi. You think you would've sensed my presence a long time ago. The moment you walked into your house. But I guess your weaknesses can't be helped. To think you caused the syndicate so much trouble. I guess some people are just weaker than you." Heero pointed his gun at Hachi's shoulder. "I was told to bring you alive. Master Zyro would very much like to speak with you." Heero shot the gun. It hit exactly where it was supposed to, but the image of Hachi was disappearing like steam.

Right behind him Hachi put a strangle hold on Heero. "I think you're the weak one. You've been talking to an after-image. And to not sense your brother right BEHIND you."

Shojo looked into Hachi's eyes. They were not the same. It was as though there was another being that inhabited his body. There was much hatred in them. Not at all like Hachi. Heero brought his head forward and then backwards again. It collided with Hachi's nose. He let go of Heero with a curse. Heero stumbled around, grabbed his gun and Shojo, and put the gun up to her head. "Now, if you don't want this girl's head to be blown off, I suggest you surrender yourself."

Hachi smiled, "You've got the wrong person to hold hostage." Shojo brought her leg up between Heero's and sickening crunch was heard. "Oy, I bet that didn't feel to good." Hachi added, flinching his eyes. Heero let go of Shojo. She went and kneed him REALLY hard in the face; and then took out her gun and hit him over the head with it. Heero fell unconscious. Hachi gave her a thumbs up.
