________________________________

Shinimegami blinked a few times to make sure she sought right. Was this the guy that she had saved last night? What was he doing here... after her? He must of been a preventer(SP? I'm pathetic!! T_T)... but what was he doing at the Oz base the other night? This was all confusing her too much. She had to take action now, or something bad was going to happen.


Heero was having a hard time believing that he had been caught in the dumbest moment. How could he have forgotten about this person from last night, and the whole time she was the one to be causing the problem?

Well whatever had happened had happened, Heero's mission was underneath him, and nothing was going to stop him to get her brought in. He took out some handy handcuffs that he just happen to keep on him that night, and at the same time, balanced his weight atop of Shinimegami to keep her from escaping. For some reason, he seemed to have this attraction to her eyes - though he wasn't looking at them- he felt like he needed to look at her eyes. How strange was that? Somehow, his eyes complied to his inner devil that screamed to look at her dangerous eyes. (AN: ¬.¬ Have you ever got the feeling of deja vu with a word?)

The second he gazed into those beautiful deep violet orbs, he felt still, and relaxed. Everything around him gradually slowed down, and stopped. Now he was frozen in time, and nothing would keep him from starring at pools of violet.


Shinimegami's eyes were glowing an eerie violet, as she gazed into Heero's prussian blue ones. If she would have been focusing on his eyes, she would probably admire the ice color, but all she was concentrating on was, his thoughts. She hypnotized him, as she looked pass his eyes, and shields, into his mind.

Man, what she could see... was a lot! He was full of information, but most of it was very cold, and depressing. This guy really didn't see the good things in life. She searched as much as she could in so little time. She knew she would have to hurry, if she didn't want to kill him. That's what happens when a demon looks into your mind... a demon destroys you from the inside out.

Hai! She found what she was looking for. The reason Heero was here. He wanted to take her somewhere, but where? Oh well, all she had to do now is help Heero, again, and get the hell out of there. All of which should be easy.

Shinimegami blinked to break the link between them, and bring Heero back to reality. Heero shook his head to try and regain his thoughts, and looked down at the girl he had in his possession- so to speak. She seemed so innocent, yet so full of darkness. Puzzling him, she smirked, and spoke, "Gomen, but this might hurt." In a split second, Shinimegami kneed Heero in the groin. He could of yelped in pain, but he was smarter than that, and kept quiet. But for this moment of weakness, Shinimegami took the opportunity to escape his bear grip.

She slipped her small hands out of his, and used them to slide her body out from underneath him. Heero quickly recovered, and latched onto her ankles, but Shinimegami easily materialized her glaive and had it pointing in between Heero's eyes. He didn't seem scared, nor angered, but released her anyways. He knew it wasn't worth dying yet if it meant he was going to die while the enemy escaped. Shinimegami slowly raised from her position on the ground, and- in record- breaking speed- made a dash towards the other side of the building.

As she ran, only one thing was she thinking, 'He didn't even flinch....' Once she turned the corner, she halted to a stop. With her super-sensitive hearing she knew that Oz soldiers were approaching. Nothing was going to stop her now. She had already fulfilled one mission, and another was playing in her head, which she _was_ going to accomplish.

Shinimegami kept running. It was pretty much pitch black outside, and being dressed in totally black clothing proved worthy of this mission. As the soldiers came near, Shinimegami only ran faster, and finally when they were right in front of her, from the blur of her agility, they couldn't even sense her. She jumped a good 7 feet high, resulting in a perfect, soundless, landing behind every soldier.

She turned around and smirked once again, for her accomplishment. It was nothing. Quickly she dashed towards the closest wall. Placing her hands atop of the cold, bricks, she felt for energy on the other side. Interestingly enough, she felt it. There were four of them, four souls that were dangerous. Shinimegami materialized her glaive, once again, and put the tip on the wall. She, slowly, descended it-as if she were cutting something- right to the ground. In no time the wall blew open, with absolutely no sound coming from anything. No alarms rang out, and no soldiers were apparent.

The boys snapped around in complete surprise. They were standing there looking at the petite girl in front of them, that just -silently- had blasted open the wall. The girl raised a finger to her lips, signaling silence. They complied and filed out of the newly created exit. As they were trying to escape, an Oz soldier ran into the cell area, and noted there was a wall missing as well as four prisoners. He sounded the alarm, and immediately a dozen soldiers sped outside of the wall.

As the first soldier ran out of the wall, he was struck with a blade entering his gut. He cried out in pain, and fell to the ground. Shinimegami could see his soul rising from his body, and it was hovering above him. Soon demons consumed his soul, and it was dragged into the ground, towards hell. 'The soldier didn't want to fight...' thought Shinimegami, as she turned and ran towards the place that she hid the others.

Something latched onto her arms, and held her there. More, and more Oz soldiers came pouring into her with weapons of all sorts, and getting ready to strike at her, with evil smirks on their faces. 'These soldiers aren't so fortunate.' She thought, emotionlessly. One soldier shouted CHARGE and the rest followed his lead. They all came at Shinimegami with full force, but Shinimegami materialized her glaive, and blocked the first weapon that was thrown at her, with a clank sound. One by one, she pounded a soldier to the ground, leaving them unconscious or dead. None of their souls were dragged into the ground, however, none were left alone either.

Finally, when a dozen of Oz soldiers were on the ground, did Shinimegami allow her glaive to disappear. A halt of footsteps were sounded, and she turned to look at the new comers. There, circling her, were at least fifty soldiers with death glares raging at her. She grinned nervously, and made a run for it. With tremendous strength, she punched every soldier that got in her way, and then ran into the forest. The soldiers ran after her, but was only lost in complete darkness.


Shinimegami made her way through all the trees, with ease. This was her specialty, darkness. She looked around, and spotted the four bodies near a fence on the other side of the small forest. She approached them, and wasn't startled when they went into a defensive stance. They quickly relaxed, when they realized who was seeking them.

"You're the one we're looking for, aren't you?" asked the soft voice of the blond one. Shinimegami nodded, in understanding- with the knowledge she stole from Heero-. "Then why did you help us escape?" he asked more unbelievably than anything.

Shinimegami shrugged, "You're not supposed to be my enemy. Oz is my enemy, but only you can change that reality." She stated smoothly, in a cold tone. Trowa knew right away what she was talking about, it clicked so fast he was loss for words. (AN: if that's possible, he doesn't speak anyways...) Duo was speechless as well. He hadn't seen anything so intriguing, or enchanting or... dark! She was so beautiful, and bewitching. Duo couldn't keep his eyes off of her. The only thing that puzzled him was how she of all people, could be the one to train an army of men to wipe out Oz. What made her so special?

A shout of voices, broke the tense silence in the air, between all the young soldiers. They all knew it was a matter of time, before Oz would start hunting them down again, and now was the time to escape. The rays of a flashlight were searching frantically for the prisoners, that they couldn't hold, but the light proved no good for nothing could be seen. Just then, a soldier thought he spotted the faint looking sight of a leg. Although it moved out of the way, from the view, he still sought it out. He moved quicker towards the area where the occurrence happened.

Shinimegami made sure that the four pilots were all well hidden in the trees, where they couldn't possibly be seen. As she hid behind a thick tree. She was harder to spot, since she was able to blend with the scenery. She saw the light, beamed towards her tree she used as protection. Shit! She was being pursued again.

The soldier started to run, to pick up the pace, in case they decided to flee from their hiding spot. He was nearly there, where he saw the leg. He came just a bit closer, in contact with the front of the tree, as he felt himself tripping.

Shinimegami, at the precise moment, thrust her left leg forward, making the soldier trip over it, and fall unceremoniously on the ground. On instincts, she loomed over top of him, and glared death at him. He saw her frightening look, and lowered his head, and eyes, in fear. She growled, and, with speed of the wind, snapped his neck, leaving him there to rot. She picked up the flashlight, and waved it over her head a couple of times, to signal that the boys were safe. They obeyed, and jumped out of the tree, with no problems. Shinimegami, then, threw the flashlight, with great strength, against the ground, and it shattered, without so much as a peep being heard. Again blank stares were all she received from the boys, but she paid it no mind.

She looked into each of their eyes, trying to communicate without words. Of course it worked, since they were smarter than your average Joe. Shinimegami silently turned around, and took a breath before dashing into the night. They boys followed without protest, and tried their hardest to keep up with her. She was way too fast, but they continued on anyways. She ducked and jumped, through the thickness of the forest, and stayed completely silent through the whole thing... naturally.

Finally, after about seven minutes of non-stop running, they came to a halt in front of a large stone wall. Without hesitation, Shinimegami ran forward, towards the wall, and used the power of her legs to scale it. She had done this before, so it wasn't that tough. After she reached the top, her violet orbs glanced down at the others that were following her as if she were their leader. She held up her index finger, to signal one minute, and whirled around. She hopped off of the wall with elegance. Landing slowly, and nonchalantly in front of the wall's gate door. It was old, and rusty, but it could still work.

She, again, materialized her glaive, and used it to slice the large rusty chain off of the gate. This time it made a sound, a big 'chink' was heard and the chain fell to the ground. She looked up in surprise from the unusual noise that sounded. It was loud too, very loud. She cursed herself silently, and opened the creaky gate. The sky was pitch black, and so was she so she used the platinum of her glaive and the shine of the moon's reflection, and, once agin, signaled the boys to come her way to exit the Oz base.

Wufei caught this signal in the corner of his eye. He turned his head to look at the source, and saw a form of some sort of weapon. It looked like a spear, no a glaive. It was that possessed onna's weapon. She was telling them to exit the base through the opening she found. Wufei started to jog towards her. The others watched his retreating form, so they followed him.

When he caught up to her, he stopped and hesitated for a brief moment. Not that it was visible, he just didn't know about her intentions. She wasn't exactly the best person to trust, especially since she was the enemy they were to bring in. But then again, she did say that she wasn't their enemy, and that her only enemy- as far as she was concerned- was Oz. They were the threat, and they are her enemy. Which is what made Wufei so hesitant about her. If Oz was a threat to her, which made them enemies, then what made the gundam pilots so different? They were a threat as well. They were there to capture her, so why didn't she consider them enemies? Wufei's thoughts were interrupted by Shinimegami.

"This is the way out, without being seen. Do as you will, it makes no difference to me. I'm going to retrieve your other friend..." she stated, allowing the others to pass through the gate. They stared at her in amazement.

"You're going to help us, again?" asked Duo, his eyes widening. Shinimegami nodded her head. He let out a muffled sound of shock, but contained himself, "Why?" he asked his voice getting higher.

Shinimegami immediately replied, "I fear he's in danger, and it is my fault for that happening..." They all nodded in understanding, and went on their way. But Duo hung back for a couple more seconds.

"I got to hand it to you, babe... You're one of a kind." And then he left, more like vanished into the night. Shinimegami smirked. 'You don't know how true that is...' she thought to herself, and then turned back to the gate, proceeding to enter the base again.



She saw him. He was being beaten. Blood was every where. And he wasn't making a sound? What was wrong with him? He was being beaten to death, and he doesn't care? 'Oh well' she thought, 'I just have to be in the right position... and....' she moved around a bunch of trees, into one position she felt would benefit from the others, 'and strike!' and then she sped out of the forest, and into the circle. To the soldiers, she looked like a gust of wind, but she just happen to pick up one person in the process. Heero.

The soldiers watched as the intruder that they were punishing, was levitating, in the large -and fast- gust of wind that just went by. Though they were confused, they ran after him anyways. It was too fast, half of the soldiers stopped running completely. Even the fastest ones, couldn't keep up. Gradually they all stopped running, to catch their breath. What was that?



Shinimegami continued to run, as fast as she could, until she came to the gate. Then she set Heero on the ground. It was a strange sight to see, as she _was_ carrying Heero on her back, and she looks like she's going to die any time soon. But that wasn't important. Immediately she closed the creaky gate. Still, the question of how it made sounds, was pondering in her mind, but then Heero broke her reverie.

"Why did you save me?" he asked her, short of breath. She turned to look at him. Yup, those eyes were still dangerous.

She smirked, and started to walk away, "An eye for an eye..." and then she left, not to be seen for a while.

Heero couldn't believe this. She disappeared again, with the same style. Who was she? Shinimegami wasn't her real name obviously, so what was she doing? 'An eye for an eye?' Heero questioned. 'This isn't over, not by a long shot.'
