Against All Odds
Awww, you guys rock! Thanks for the nice comments! How can I not feel better after that? And since you guys are being so kind, I've decided to repay the favour by making this chapter a long one ^_^. Just a forewarning for the chapter, I call the original Kai 'our' Kai to try and avoid confusion. Nothing much more to say, so on with the fic!

"You really want to know who I am?" the clone asked, staring into his opposite's matching crimson eyes. Kai gritted his teeth, not saying anything. But the clone just smirked. "Like I said . . .I'm you, only better."
Then forming his hand into yet another fist, Kai's double quickly jumped around our phoenix and punched him hard across the face. Kai went stumbling backwards, but managed to keep his balance.
"Are you now?" our slate-haired teen muttered, glaring at his mirror-like reflection. Then, quick as a snake, he dodged forwards and stuck out his foot, in hopes of catching his opponent off guard and tripping him. Unfortunately, the clone caught sight of the oncoming attack and jumped hastily to the side.
"You're faster than I calculated," the duplicate stated, turning his gaze downward at the now kneeling Kai. Then in the wink of an eye, our phoenix swung his leg forwards before his opposite could notice. He was successfully able to knock him off his feet.
Kai's counterpart came crashing to the ground. The blow seemed to echo through the impossibly large 'void' world.
"I'm faster then you calculated? Aren't you supposed to be 'better' then me?" Our Kai asked, standing up and eyeing his struggling clone. Then, before he knew what was happening, he found himself back on the ground, staring up into the face of his 'reflection'.
"Oh, but I am," he sneered, grabbing the original's pearl-coloured scarf and choking him. Kai once again gritted his teeth, wrapping his pale hands around the scarf and tugging it away from his neck. But this action only provoked his double to pull harder. Kai then began choking due to the loss of air. His counterpart's smirk grew wider. "To prove it, I'll kill you twenty times before your eyes even close."
For some unexplained reason, this gave our phoenix an idea. He forced himself to swing around, then grabbing the top part of his scarf, he pulled his 'twin' forward. He had also managed to throw in an aggravated punch to the face. Although it caused the clone to release the scarf, he had somehow managed to maintain his balance.
It was Kai versus Kai in an intense battle. The two were at each other's throats for some time.
"Why in God's name aren't you bleeding?" Kai yelled angrily, after he had just finished dragging his clone across the cemented ground. But his enemy just laughed, grabbing Kai's scarf and pulling him to the ground. Kai managed to wipe away a bit of the blood coming from the corner of his mouth.
"Because, my jakuteki (sworn enemy), this is MY world, not yours. In my world, I can't be defeated. And don't worry, I'll enjoy every minute; watching you die . . ." And on that note, he began to laugh. Oddly, it made small chills run down our Kai's spine.
"So what am I supposed to do now? It doesn't look like this guy's going to run out of fuel anytime soon," He thought to himself, dodging another oncoming jab. "I never thought I'd be saying this, but hell, do I ever miss those guys -"
He didn't get to finish that thought, however, because his clone had finally managed to knock him down. Unfortunately for Kai, his body was beginning to tire. Almost every part of him was injured, and much to his dislike, he was bleeding.
"What's wrong, subeta (cough 'bitch' cough), tired already?" His double laughed, kicking the original slate-haired teen in the back . . .hard. Kai grunted in pain, rolling himself over and glaring at his opponent. He knew that he probably wasn't going to win this fight, but his stubborn attitude pushed the thought away.
"I can win this . . .in fact, I AM going to win this!" He yelled, grabbing the clone around the arm and swinging him over his shoulder. His double went flying through the air, then finally came crashing to the ground some ten feet away. Kai let out a small moan of pain, but steadied himself up. "I can't let you win," our phoenix breathed out, limping over to motionless clone. "It just wouldn't be right."
But the words were spoken to quickly. The double swung his leg upwards, at a rather . . .unusual feat for a guy. But still that kick hit its target right on, making Kai collapse to the ground. This time, he knew he wasn't going to get up. He tried, but his body was just too tired.
"Kuso (aka: shit)," our phoenix cried, holding the side of his stomach and looking up helplessly at his advancing clone. "As soon as he gets over here, he's going to finish me off for sure . . ."
"Hey Kai, snap out of it!" A familiar voice echoed throughout the barren void. Immediately snapping out of his daze, Kai looked desperately around, hoping that the voice he heard wasn't just his imagination playing tricks on him.
"Rei? Is. . . Is that . . .you?"
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
Gah, I hope that this was long enough for you guys. I know it was for me . . .*rubs sore fingers*. Well, first off, let me say that I know I suck at fighting scenes, but please don't flame me because of it. Secondly, yes, Kai IS hearing Rei's voice, but that is NOT an intro. for yaoi. This story has NO yaoi pairings in it. If you want to read a yaoi story, check out my other fic, 'Complicated'. It's finished too! ^_^. Well, hope you enjoyed. Please don't forget to leave me a pretty review to read. I appreciate them SO much! Thanks everyone! Until the next chapter, sayonara!
