Chapter Nine: Regina's Revenge

Momiji only answered him by snuggling up to him closer and to him, she looked as white as a sheet. He picked up his pace, and held Momiji to him tightly. He landed on top of his apartment building with one last swift jump. He ran towards the door, but was stopped dead in his tracks by someone blocking his way. Kusanagi recognized her in an instant. " Regina!" He hissed, feeling his anger grow more and more to the brink. She only laughed and pulled out the blade of the aragami, " I've come for what is rightfully mine."

Kusanagi involuntarily retreated a few steps back as he realized the meaning within her words. " You won't get Momiji, Aragami scum," He hissed at her through roughly clenched teeth. " I'll give my life to protect her!" She smirked, mocking him to the very end, " Well plant boy, that can be arranged. As a matter of fact, it's already under way!" After she said this, she jumped at him, raising the blade high above her head and moved at incredible speeds. Kusanagi, able to move at incredible speeds himself, recognized her move in a second and moved his body to dodge as her blade dug into the stone of the roof.

Shards of shattered roof flew up from the impact and when Kusanagi looked to where she had landed she was already gone. He was then pushed from behind and he fell forward, and Momiji tumbled out of Kusanagi's arms just as she had done when she was first attacked. She landed with a deaf thump upon the ground, but with her condition, she was still dead asleep. Kusanagi tried to reach her, but before he could, Regina had already gotten a hold of her.

She laughed as she stuck Momiji onto her back, " Well, looks like you lose plant boy!" Kusanagi glared at her, clenching his fists at his sides roughly. " I WON'T LET YOU HAVE HER!!!!" Blinded by rage and uncontrollable emotions, he rushed at her breaking out his blades and rough armor. He screamed in rage and raised his blades, but in his rush he made a made a fatal mistake, he left himself open. " Ha! Kusanagi, you die here!" She shoved the blade through Kusanagi's lower stomach and surprised he stumbled back and landed on the ground.

He stood slowly, green blood oozing from the wound, " Regina, you won't have Momiji." As he said this an aura of great power and energy burst up from the ground, and around him. Regina glared. She had expected that to kill him. (Better think again! Mwahahah! ^.^) She landed onto the ground swiftly, she had been floating above the roof. She set Momiji down against the side of the roof, and turned back to Kusanagi. " Well, well Kusanagi. You've done much better than I expected. I suppose I'll give you a chance to fight me, eh?"

The wound on Kusanagi's midriff was rapidly healing as he took a menacing step towards her, an utter look of hate upon his hard features. Regina stopped in her tracks, looking into those cat like eyes and what she saw there scared her. She had never seen a look so dark and menacing. As Kusanagi spoke, his voice was like dark velvet. Smooth, dark, and calm. " Give me back Momiji, or you WILL die Regina!"
