The blank void around the pair suddenly began to swirl with different colours up above them. Blues, yellows, and reds mixed
together to create hundreds of different colours. Like a tidal wave the colours came crashing down right in the middle of
the pair, the emptiness above them was replaced with various shades of yellows, oranges and reds. Below them green, brown and
blue colours snaked their way across the ground to form various trees, grass and rivers. Then just like the time speed was
set on fast forward creatures made their way onto land to take their first look at their new life above their old watery
homes. Spread out across the endless horizons evolution quickly became the next step, some creatures grew claws and sharp
fangs, while others grew giant wings that enabled them to take flight. Other evolved into a diverse range of grazers and
tree climbers. The creatures of the trees quickly began to evolve into human life forms, Shinigami gasped when he first saw
the dark violet eyes of his ancestors.
All around him the scenery changed so quickly that all the images seemed to blur into one. Just as Shinigami was feeling a
little dizzy, everything suddenly stopped. Violet eyes widened impossible large as they took in the scene before them. Bodies
littered the ash filled earth, fire was quickly spreading through the remaining buildings. Smoke raised up from beneath the
body parts to colour the amber sky black. Shinigami cringed as his memory reminded him that this illusion created, was from
the day when he had fought the darkness for the first time back on his planet.
Calmly stepping over the bodies before him, Heero's voice mocking voice called out "I thought that this would be the perfect
place for us to battle, what do you think?" Shaking off his shock, Shinigami spat out "How dare you! You fucking disrespectful
bastard!"
Shinigami closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm himself. When he reopened them the violet eyed boy calmly asked
"There is one thing I want to ask you" Raising an eyebrow Heero said "And what would that be?" Taking a step forward,
Shinigami simply asked "So what happened to the real Heero?" Chuckling quietly to himself a smile crossed his face while the
blue eyed boy answered "Not that its any of you business....but if you must know he is sleeping at the moment" The smile was
quickly replaced with a smirk when he said "Would you like to see him?"
Not far from where the pair were standing, the ground began to rumble. Large cracks appeared in the ash filled dirt as black
thorned vines burst through. Tangled right in the middle of the vines was the sleeping figure of Heero, blood was running out
wounds caused by the thorns. "Heero!" Shouted Shinigami, forgetting everything else the violet eyed boy made his way over to
the trapped boy. Two lights appeared on either side of the vines and from each light stepped the same winged beasts from
before. Shinigami stopped dead in his tracks as the winged cats put themselves between Heero and himself while growling.
Blazing violet eyes turned to icy blue as Shinigami spoke with barely controlled anger "Release him NOW demon!"
Ignoring the enraged Shinigami, the demon calmly said "Well I guess there's no point staying in this form any longer"
Stretching his arms out in front oh him, the blue eyed demon began to emit a dark glow. Tanned skin turned as black as the
night sky, while his hands transformed into sharp claws. Chocolate coloured hair slowly changed into a dark red, while it
grew down past the demon's knees. Ears became pointed at the ends, as small fangs appeared out of the dark beings mouth.
Blood began to run down his face and back as along his spine large bone spikes ripped their way through the black flesh.
"How do you like my true form Shinigami? Perfect isn't it? Only a few more deaths left before Heero's real body will look
like this" Watching the display with open disgust, Shinigami spat out "I will never allow you to, his body is perfect the way
it is!" Shrugging his shoulders the demon calmly said "You can try all you want Shinigami...but you will never win" The demon
bent down and picked up one of the skulls next to his feet, then began tossing it from one hand to the other. Prussian blue
eyes turned icy as he threw the skull down as hard as he could. As it shattering on impact, the demons emotionless voice
called out "It is time for you to join your people Shinigami!"
Extending his arm smoke began to emit from the demons clawed hands. Gathering it into a ball, the smoke then travelled
upwards. Swirling around the smoke slowly began to disappear, leaving behind a large red sword. At the same time in his other
hand another smoke cloud disappeared reviling a blood red shield.
Shinigami's eyes widened in shock for a moment before he quickly narrowed them 'If this is an illusionary world like I think
it is.....then I should be able to do the same thing' Concentrating he lifted his arms above his head. Within his hands
appeared a bright purple light, and out of the light a scythe with a glowing green blade appeared in his hands. Shinigami
smiled in satisfaction as he inspected his weapon. Intense violet orbs focused once again on the demon before him, then a
split second later Shinigami began his assault.
Swinging his scythe as hard as possible, Shinigami mentally cursed himself as the demon blocked his attack with his shield.
Thrusting his red sword towards the braided boy, the demon frowned in annoyance when it met nothing but air. A chuckle behind
him alerted the demon to Shinigami's location. The scythe quickly came down as the winged demon attempted to evade the
attack. Unfortunately though he was not fast enough and the green blade deeply cut into his right shoulder blade. Crying out
in pain, the demon let of a bright light as he quickly distanced himself from the grinning boy. With anger in his voice, the
demon shouted "Don't think you've won yet Shinigami!" Forgetting all about his pain, the demon leapt right back into the
battle.
As the dark figure rushed towards him, Shinigami cursed himself once again as the demon split into three other forms.
Thinking quickly the violet eyed boy placed an invisible barrier in front of two of his three attackers, then he proceeded
to attack the third. Slashing wildly with his weapon, the creature cried out in pain before it disappeared in a cloud of
smoke. 'That's one down, only one fake left' Shinigami though didn't have enough time to decide which one to attack. The
next thing he knew his weapon had been knocked out of his hands, and there was a sharp red blade pressed up against his
throat. Trying not to swallow, Shinigami looked up into the eyes of his captors and gave them a sadistic grin. Blinking in
confusion the demon holding the sword spoke up "You have lost to me......so why do you grin then?" Shinigami didn't drop his
grin as his violet eyes began to glow. The demon was about to question him again, but pain erupted in every part of his body.
Dropping his weapon, the winged demon fell to his knees as he cried out. The illusion standing behind Shinigami disappeared,
as the real demon curled up into a fetal position by his feet.
"You forget demon that even though you have your own personality, you are still apart of MY Heero" With a smug smile Shinigami
knelt down next to the sobbing creature and roughly grabbed his chin, forcing the demon to face him. Sneering Shinigami
continued "Do you forget so easily that while Heero's power far exceeds my own, that there was a reason to why he belonged
to me?" Not waiting for a reply he continued, since that the only sound that could be heard from the demon below him were
whimpers. "Did you know that on the day that Heero's mother Kalindi(1) swore her alliance to me, she gave me more that just
her obedience. She gave me a VERY special gift. This gift was given in case she ever became so out of control that even I
could not stop her. You see I could now enter her mind and used her very own power against her, and it would do the exact
same thing to her as it is doing to you now" As if to prove his point, Shinigami narrowed his eyes as he increased his power.
The pain already within the demons body became unbearable, as a tortured scream erupted from his throat.
'No, I will not allow him to beat me again!' Ignoring the pain, the demon violently lashed out at the unsuspecting braided
boy above him, and sent him flying through the air. Before Shinigami could even hit the ground, the demon spread his wings
and repeatedly attacked him. Focusing as much of his powers as he could, the demon slammed his clawed fist into Shinigami's
face. Panting slightly the winged demon watched in satisfaction as Shinigami's body fell hard to the floor.
Falling down hard to the ground, Shinigami found that he no longer had any strength left to fight. "Damn it!" He cursed as
the winged demon slowly began walking towards him. 'NO! it cant end like this!' Trying to find any strength he could,
Shinigami attempted to stand only to fall straight back down. "DAMN IT!" He cursed himself once again as he heard the demons
footsteps getting closer.
"I have been waiting a long time for this Shinigami" Came the demons thundery voice from above. A hand then quickly grabbed a
handful of chestnut hair, and roughly picked the braided boy up. Wincing in pain Shinigami cracked open one violet eye to
stare into icy blue. The blue eye demon then spoke with a hint of triumph in it voice "Now it is time for you to die" With
all his remaining strength, Shinigami pushed his body up and kissed the demons lips forcefully. When the demon opened his
mouth in surprise, Shinigami didn't miss the opportunity and slipped his tongue inside. This action seemed to snap the demon
out of his shock, as he threw Shinigami to the floor. Wiping his mouth with his arm, dark blue eyes held pure hatred in them
as he venomously said "OMAE O KOROSU!"
As soon as Shinigami's lips touched the demons, the bleeding boy within the vines began to awaken. Prussian blue eyes widened
in horror as he heard the demon. Seeing Shinigami's life in danger brought a strange feeling of wanting to protect the boy.
As he tried to move out of the vines, the thorns dug themselves deeper into Heero's body. Not caring for his own wounds he
struggled more and managed to get one arm free. Feeling dizzy from the blood loss Heero screamed "NOOOOO!" Right before he
passed out.
A bright white light erupted from Heero's unconscious body, and from out of this light emerged a beautiful woman with long
chocolate brown hair and stunning Prussian blue eyes. Turning to look at her son, a small smile graced her lips as she
whispered in his ear "Let me handle this now, my son"
Turning her attention to the two growling beasts in front of her, she let out a burst of energy which sent the winged cats
flying through the air. Slowly both cats got back up onto the feet, they looked at the chocolate haired woman then looked
at each other. Both coming to the same decision, a bright light surrounded the pair before they both disappeared. Satisfied
with their departure, she focused her attention on one terrified blue eyed demon standing over one obviously stunned
Shinigami. Before any of her past feelings could surface, she quickly buried them deep in the back of her mind.
"I will not allow you to taint his soul any longer demon" Came the emotionless voice of Kalindi, looking around for any type
of escape the demon stuttered "No......please....don't" "It is too late to ask for forgiveness dark one, your time is over"
The black demon tried to escape but soon found that it was already much too late for it. Raising her arm a pure white ball of
energy formed in her hand, an evil smirk formed on her face as she released her attack. Shrieking in pain, the demon fell down
to his knees as the white energy began to consume his body. With no hint of kindness, Kalindi told the demon "I will not give
you a painless death demon, that would be too easy on you after all that you have done. No......I will make it as painful as
I can" Walking right up to the cowering figure she raiser her hand as the body before her began to lift from the ground,
drawing imaginary symbols in the air, both bodies became transparent. "I will make sure that you can no longer control my
son" Fear was openly displayed on the demons face as his body slowly drifted over towards Kalindi's. Her eyes drifted shut as
the two bodies merged together, a small smile graced her lips as she felt the darkness inside of her trying to escape. 'Fool
of a demon, there is no escape for you any longer'
Icy Prussian blue eyes softened the instant they heard the small voice of Shinigami "Kalindi?" Looking down at the braided
boy next to her, she smiled sweetly at the boy "It's really you.....my Kalindi?" Her smile turned into that of a loving one
when she heard her name spoken once again by the one she will always love. Kalindi bend down and placed her hands around his
heart shaped face "Yes my love, but you must leave me and this place. Heero is that one that needs you now even if he wont
admit it to himself, you and Heero both belong together" Carefully she bent down and place one final soft kiss on Shinigami's
lips as the braided boy vanished from within her grasp. Slowly she stood as she quietly whispered "Sayonara...my Shinigami"
Turning her attention back to her captive son, her face lite up with a genuine smile as she made her way over to him. Using
her fading powers Kalindi destroyed the thorned vines and caught her son as he fell. Kalindi frowned as she saw the extent
of her sons injuries, her decision made she used the remaining of her powers to heal his wounds. While she waited for Heero
to awaken, she just sat there cradling him as the world around them began to slowly crumble away.
Opening his Prussian blue eyes, Heero found himself to be in the arms of the same woman from before. Just as he was about to
speak, she beat him to it "I wished that we had more time to talk my dear tenshi, but the illusion wont hold much longer
and my powers are almost completely gone" Seeing that Heero was about to speak, she carefully placed a finger on his lips
"Shhh....please let me continue" After receiving a small nod she continued "Heero you know what you must do 01 is out there,
waiting for you along with Shinigami. It is up to you to choose your destiny.......Remember I will always be proud of you,
and I will always love you my son" A single tear slid down Heero's cheek as he listened to his mothers words. In a voice no
higher than a whisper, he said "I will try to make you proud of me.....mother" Hearing that single word, that she had always
wanted to hear from the lips of her son, broke down all of her restraint. The tears came rushing down as the hold she had on
Heero tightened. As the last of the illusionary world crumbled away, Heero's eyes widened as his mother began to disappear
along with it. In a voice full of sadness he heard her say "Sayonara, my son.....I will always watch over you" Before she
finally disappeared.
Surrounded by a white void, Heero wiped away the stray tears as he got to his feet. With determination in his eyes, he yelled
out "I WONT LET YOU DOWN MOTHER!" Smiling to himself, Heero was now ready to face the outside world once again.
