===============================================================
Chapter 19: I'm Sorry…
"(pant, pant) Who knew old guys could run that well?" asked Joey still tired from the running they had to do to get away from the crazy, old priests.
"Those old guys were in pretty good shape, even though they were a bit crazy," panted Tristan.
"I'm just glad to get away from them," said Tea.
"No kidding," agreed Mai.
Suddenly a group of villagers crowded around the street near a shop. They were craning their necks to see what was happening.
"I don't know about you, but I sense trouble," said Daichi.
Shiro nodded his head. "Let's check it out," he said. Then Shiro jumped on a nearby roof to get a better view of what was happening. The others pushed their way though the crowds to see what was going on.
When they got through the crowds they saw a solider beating up on an elderly man.
"Please stop!" cried the old man's daughter. The soldier just pushed her away. "Someone help my father! He's done nothing wrong!" Then the soldier began to beat up the young girl along with anyone that said a word!
"Stop that!" shouted Yugi. The crowd's gaze shifted over to him. "It's not right to beat up innocent people!" The soldier stepped in front of him and unsheathed his sword.
"Time to teach you some manners brat!" said the soldier. Yugi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes for the blow, but it never came. He opened his eyes in time to see Shiro give the bully a one-way trip to the wall.
"You're the one who needs to learn some manners," said Shiro. "I just you're mother didn't give you enough spankings when you were young! If you want to fight someone then I'll be your opponent!"
The soldier slowly got up and licked his blade. (Shiro- sweatdrop 'that was creepy') He glared at Shiro with his crimson eyes, his armor shining in the sun.
"What's your style of fighting?" asked the soldier.
"Eh? Why do you want to know?" asked Shiro.
"I just want to tell you that no matter what style of fighting you use, I can defeat you! I've studied every style know in this world!"
"Really?"
"Yes! So no matter what attack you use I can deflect it!"
Shiro shrugged and he disappeared, or so it seemed. He was suddenly behind the soldier and before the other guy could do anything he got a punch in the face.
"What was that!?" he asked.
"I didn't really study any kind of fighting style. I just use sonic moves to fight most of the times," replied Shiro.
"Sonic moves?! There is no way you could have achieved the technique I could not have!"
"Well, it looks like I have!" Shiro disappeared again, this time the soldier drew his sword ready to slice Shiro apart. "Over here!" The soldier turned to his right and received a mud-ball in the face. He wiped of the mud, growling. Shiro then extended his claws and charged towards the guy, the soldier managed to block a few of Shiro's attacks before Shiro sliced his armor and broke it into tiny pieces.
"Damn! He's a lot faster than other demons! What are you?" asked the soldier. He took another swing at Shiro at for a moment it looked like his blade had sliced him in two, but Shiro just appeared behind him and knocked his lights out. The guy collapsed and Shiro picked up his sword.
"I doubt you need this anymore," he said. He threw the sword into the air and sliced it up into fine metal splinters.

"Wow! Since Shiro saved the villagers from that thug they've been giving us so much food I'm finally stuffed!" said Zeero. He, Joey, and Tristan had new stomachs now, a lot bigger than their old ones.
"That's weird, I thought I heard Zeero say he was stuffed!" said Katana.
"Who wants more roast beef?" asked a waitress.
"ME!" shouted Zeero, Joey, and Tristan. Within two seconds all three of them were fighting over the rest of the food again.
"You know what, I'm not really hungry anymore," said Shiro pushing away the remainder of his meal which was immediately gobbled up by Zeero.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Master!" exclaimed a dark figure. "One of our warriors have been killed!" A shadow sat on a chair and stared at the figure.
"Who sealed that warriors fate?"
"A half-breed traveling with a bunch of kids, and elf, a Koneko spirit, and an idiot fox-demon!"
"…Destroy them all!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Boom! The gang jumped out of their seats and the building they were in shook like crazy!
"Is this an earthquake?" asked Kaiba.
"No, we're under attack!" said Akio.
The group rushed outside to see more soldiers like the one that Shiro had eliminated earlier.
"What the?" asked Shiro.
Shiro jumped backwards and a spear struck the place where he was just standing. They looked up and saw a man with a helmet on, full body armor, and a crimson cape.
"Are you the one who defied us?" the guy asked Shiro.
"Maybe," replied Shiro.
"Then we'll have to eliminate you!" Hundreds of soldiers came out of the shadows and surrounded the group. Yami came out of the puzzle.
"Your cards won't have any effect on them. Their armor is especially designed to reflect monsters' attacks. I suggest you guys get to safety," said Daichi.
"Alright," said Yugi.
"Attack!" yelled the leader of the metal army. Katana let go of an arrow, her arrow went through at least twenty armors before hitting a wall. Akio and Zeero unsheathed their swords and began the slow process of cutting apart the armors. Hoshi called upon the power of the stars and small meteors rained down on the enemy. Who knows where Shiro ran off to, he always moves too fast for anyone to see if he's up against an army.
While the rest of them were fighting off the rest of the soldiers, Yugi and company watched from behind a stone wall that was about Yami's size. Then they heard a thud of boots behind them. They managed to get out of the way before the guy unleashed a powerful blast that shattered the wall.
"You're the first to go!" he shouted aiming his beam at Yugi, who was frozen to the spot. The beam was unleashed and it was heading straight for him!
"Baka! Get out of the way!" yelled Shiro, pushing Yugi out of the way. The thin line of light went straight through Shiro and he fell to the ground, blood slowly leaking out of him.
"No! Shiro!" cried Yugi. An arrow went straight through the leaders skull, Katana rushed up to Shiro's limp body and lifted him to a sitting position.
"Shiro!" yelled Akio and Zeero still fighting the oncoming soldiers.
"That's it!" yelled Daichi. He pushed the design on his staff and revealed that his staff doubled as a sword. "Take this!" The sword hit the ground and the screams of the enemy filled the night.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Shiro," whispered Katana. Shiro's blood was slowly staining her hands and onto her outfit, but she didn't care.
"I'll try to heal him," said Hoshi. But when she performed the healing spell nothing worked!
"There must be something wrong with his soul then," said Daichi. "If something's wrong with his soul then healing spells won't work." He chanted something under his breath and Shiro's soul sphere appeared before them. Yugi then noticed a shard of the sphere was missing.
"Isn't there a shard of his soul missing?" asked Yugi. The others looked and he was right. Then, the sphere began to crack, finally it shattered!
"Oh no!" shouted Zeero. When a soul sphere cracks, there is no chance for survival. Shiro's body slowly began to fade.
"No, Shiro don't do this!" cried Katana tears coming out of her eyes. "Don't leave us! Please!" It was no use, he was still fading, Katana held him tightly in her arms. "I won't let you go!"
"I'm sorry," came Shiro's voice, it was very faint. The his body completely evaporated.
"NO!" cried Hoshi.
"Damn!" yelled Zeero hitting the wall.
"It wasn't suppose to end this way…"said Daichi.
"It can't end this way! I still haven't told him I loved him!" cried Katana. The group turned and faced her, bug-eyed. Akio's eyes turned white and he fainted.
"I think he's shocked," said Zeero.
"Well, now he knows for sure that he's lost the fight to win Katana's heart. Even though Shiro was unaware of it," said Hoshi.
===============================================================
Next time on Heart of a Demon: This is Daichi. Okay, after grieving Shiro's death we continue our journey to find the final gate to Earth. But the funny thing is that when Shiro died I can't sense the last gate anymore. Could Shiro's death have something to do with this? Find out next time! Why do I get the feeling that Shiro's alive, but that's impossible, we all saw his soul shatter!
