Facing Death's wrath

Chapter 1.



"Yeah, I know I haven't finished my other fics, but I REALLY wanted to write this fic, Because it fits my mood, Well...At least the depression part does." *Sighs, sniffles* "My fics suck!!!" *Breaks down* " I never get anymore reviews so I have no idea if anyone likes 'em. I put up an opportunity for anyone to be in a fic, but only one answers me." *Tears continue to fall* " I guess I'm not good for anything ne?!" ;_; "Anyways.. On with the fic, You don't want to hear from me anymore, And plus I think Fanfiction.net took down my 'Beyond the grave' fic. Damnit! Not fair!" *Sulks into a deeper depression*

Ryo of the Wildfire goes into depression. The past comes back to him and makes him miserable beyond believe. How is he supposed to cope with all this? It's too much for him to deal with, so he does something unexpected.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Wildfire strides down to a creek, Fists clenched into fists, eyes set and narrowed. He kicks a nearby rock into the water, "Damnit." Sitting down on a boulder, he glares at the water that reflects his handsome features. " Dad.." He ruffles his hair into a mess. Resting his forehead against the palm of his hand, shutting his eyes tight and grinding his teeth. "They don't understand. No one does! They don't know how hard it is for me to deal with my past. At least they belong somewhere. I don't belong anywhere."

"The only good I am is for fighting." He picks up his sword, blade reflecting the sun's light on it, cutting edge sharp and deadly like venom. Slashing his wrists with his sword, he cries out in agony. Throwing down one of the Wildfire swords onto the moist grass. Water droplets mix in with crimson blood. It's easy to run from your past and hide from it, but once it catches up with you, it's 10 X worse than it seems or is.

Some think suicide is the best way out of any bad situation, but what they don't know, won't hurt them but the person who knows and cares. They don't have a second chance to re-live life is the sad part, Once they find out what they've missed out on. Try to run and hide from it all, thinking once it's forgotten it won't hurt as long as you forgot about it. Past reviews come back from the shadows of the forgotten, plaguing your mind constantly, not letting go until it's engulfed you into it. Feeling like crap, useless and not wanted, you shed your blood, not caring if your killing yourself, trying to get away from it all, Hoping it heals once your gone, only making things worse for yourself and others.

Ryo sinks to the wet grass, on hands and knees, breathing rapidly. Blood soaks the ever green grass below into it's red depths of pain and shame. Tiger blue eyes open, wavering like the sea currents, tears fall but never withdraw. He lowers his head, grabbing a bunch of the blood soaked grass into his fists, angry at everything. It hurts so much, yet there's nothing you can do to stop it, pains of waves crash into you like the angry sea trying to drown you.

Kento of Hardrock stands by the front door, eyes wide with surprise, " Poor Ryo! Should we go after him, guys?" He turns his body to face his team mates as well as a really worried Mia, Yulie and a white tiger.

Cye looks at the ground, sighing, "I think we should let him be for awhile. He's been through a lot lately. Give him time to think to himself."

Sage nods his head in agreement, violet eyes showing concern, "Cye's right, let Ryo be alone until he calms down."

Rowen rubs his temples, "Do ya blame him for being stressed out and upset? It was wrong for us to bring up our pasts. It pains me to see him like this."

Mia bits her lower lip, staring at the front door Ryo ran out. Oh Ryo,.. I'm so sorry, I hope you'll be okay. Please don't do anything stupid, Like hurting yourself. Her worried eyes shake with worry and concern for the Team's leader. "I think everyone should go to their rooms and rest. I'll make some tea and treats for everyone. Hopefully Ryo will return soon." All Ronins including Yuli and White blaze look at Mia. Yulie jams his hands into his pockets, " I think we should go out and look for Ryo. What if he gets hurt or something? No one will be there to help him out!"

Mia ushers Yuli upstairs to his room, "Don't worry, Yuli, Ryo will be fine. He just needs time alone. Now go get some rest. He'll be back soon.." At least I hope he does.

Sage heads up to his room, quiet as a mouse. Rowen walks up the stairs case with Cye not far behind, " Mia, I suggest ya get some rest too. You don't have to get us anything."

Cye looks at Mia with worry, "Yeah, you look like you could use the rest anyway."

Mia turns to face the two Ronins, "I'm alright. I'll rest later not now. I'm not tired."

Rowen arches a eyebrow at the auburn haired beauty, shaking his head in disapproval of her refusing to rest. He goes to his room. Cye frowns, "You sure about that, Mia?"

Mia nods her head at Cye, producing a fake smile, "Of course I am, now go rest."

Cye hesitates for a few moments, Before going to his bedroom. Mia looks at Kento he stood by the end of the stairs, Eyes resting on the front door of the house. She blinks a few times, heading down the steps, "K-Kento, What are you doing down here? I thought I told you all to rest."

Kento turns his head to Mia. "I don't feel like resting, Mia. Besides, Ryo's out there, and Yuli was right about that."

The ever green eyed girl's frown increases, resting a hand on the Taller Ronin, "Kento...Ryo will be fine by himself, No need to worry about him. He'll come home soon, Like Cye said, he needs time alone."

Kento runs a hand through his hair, " You really think so, Mia?" Mia nods slightly, trying hard not to let her voice crack again, clearing her throat to prevent her voice from cracking. "Yes, I do. Now go to your room and get some rest, Kento. I'll bring up some things for you guys."

Kento sighs, "Fine." He trudges up stairs to his room, slamming his door shut.

Mia grimaces at the loud sound, tears welling up in her eyes and trailing down her cheeks, She falls to her knees, trying to hold back sobs. White Blaze walks over, rubbing his nose against her neck, and licking her cheek.

The girl looks at White blaze, eyes filled with so many different emotions, body shaking as if cold, But the house AC wasn't even on. "White Blaze, You think Ryo is okay?" White Blaze growled softly, nuzzling the girl, before resting his head into her lap. Koji Mia petted the tiger's head gently, Running her fingers along his soft fur.

Ryo stands up, having a hard time keeping his balance on his own two feet, anger surging through him. Fire glows in his eyes, making him more dangerous looking than how he looked now. Slamming his fist into a tree trunk, not caring one bit about a little bit of the skin on his knuckles that tore. He continued punching the tree trunk out of rage, blood seeping from his wound onto the tree trunk and grass. Water droplets on the ground soon evaporating into thin air, leaving blood stains on the grass.

When you think you're all alone, in a dark cold drift, you sink deeper into the demon of your capture. Flowing into the arms of darkness that awaits. Closing your eyes, waiting for the full force blow to hit you head on. Crimson Tears flow, feeling like life just gave up on you. Trying to mask your feelings from others, thinking they wouldn't understand why you run from it all.

" I know, it sucks like my other ones, But I'm going with my mood. More depression parts in the next chapter, easy enough to figure that out with one hint. I know NONE of it made sense, but you can tell I don't care right now. I don't get any freaking reviews to my fics anymore, I DON'T EVEN GET REVIEWS TO 'BEYOND THE GRAVE' ON FF.NET. Like I said before, But no one cares, I know. So why should I care anymore? That made no sense once so ever, don't care, I'm gonna go now. Buh bye and if anyone flames me.." -_-; *Draws out her sharp daggers that glisten under the light's gaze* " Your gonna wish you never met me, as you do now." *Looks at her watch* "Aw, crap, I have work that needs to be done." *Smirks, then cackles and walks out*
