Harry's eyes widened as he watched hireaki fall to the ground. He looked from one to the other not sure what to do. He ran over to hermione and knelt down beside her lifting her head. "She's breathing!" he exclaimed. However he didn't have enough time to do much else.

Hireaki still lay motionless on the floor, but the other person had sat up and turned his head and was now staring evilly at harry. Harry dropped hermiones head in surprise, he started crawling backwards hitting the wall. "wh-what do you want?" he stammered as the man stood and slowly made his way over to him.

In a demonic whispy voice he said. "you. Mr. potter" he stopped walking about a foot from harry. Glaring down at him he held out his hand palm facing the ceiling. He started muttering, his hand glowed a dark shade of purple, and only stopped when a small book appeared on his palm.

Harry's eyes widened as he saw the book. "that's the--" the man held his other finger to his lips. And harry shut his mouth quickly. "good you know to listen to the more powerful. Hireaki was a fool he was weak. He will be disposed of. Harry glared at him for a few minutes then opened his mouth again. "Who are you?" The man narrowed his eyes at harry. "I, dear boy, am shiona, second in line to the head of the aminis. And you will do well to respect that."

"I will not, you deserve no respect from me, or anyone else. It was you wasn't it? It was you making hireaki do what he was doing."

"Yes, it was me, hireaki is a traitor he refused to carry out his mission, he came but your stupid charm must have gotten to him and he backed down. But that is why I am here, to carry out his mission for him, then dispose of him."

Haryr stood there for a minute before a scowl grew on his face. "Hireaki may be a traitor to your people but obviously he has not betrayed me!"

Shiona glared at him for a moment. "How dare you raise your voice to me you do not know who you are dealing with!" and with that he quickly grabs Harry's neck lifting him off the ground. "you will die! Before I let you defend him"

Harry gasped for air, he couldn't speak and the more he squirmed the tighter the grip on his neck became. Soon his breathe drew shorter his face showing a dark shade of red he gave one last struggle before sliding into unconsciousness.

Shiona held him there for a minute before dropping him to the ground. "stupid boy." He too a glance at him before turning his back to him and going over to hireaki kneeling next to him and feeling his pulse- "shit, you're a stubborn one hireaki masse. I hat to have to kill you."

Hireaki, his eyes still closed spoke hoarsely. " I hate to spoil your plan.but you arent going to kill me."

"oh and why is that?"

"because you're already dead."

"I believe I am as alive as the potter boy is dead" siona sneered at him his eyes still glowing the bright shade of yellow.

Hireaki just smirked. "oh is he now?"

Shiona glared at hireki before glancing over at harry's body..or rather where it used to be."what?!?!" he stood up and went over to where harry's body once lay. "this can't be!! He's dead!" he turned to hireaki who was now sitting up. "what have you done with him?"

Hireaki stood weakly his knees wobbling beneath hi, he leaned on a chair to keep balance and looked at Shiona with pure calm in his eyes. "I haven't done anything Shiona, I haven't moved from my spot on the floor, it is harry who has moved." Hireaki took a seat in the chair next to him too weak to remain standing.

Shiona started to shout. "what do you mean he is the one who moved?!?! How can he move when he is dead, I strangled him!"

Hireaki still spoke with utter calm in his voice. "ah you see there is one flaw in what you said."

"and what is that?"

"he isnt dead..you are."

"am most certainly.." he stopped suddenly and looked over as harry appeared next to him with a dagger in his hand. "how." he growls "you should have remained hidden potter! I won't mistake your death again"

hireaki spoke before giving harry the chance. " You won't be given the chance to mistake it again Shiona, I am sick of the games, I am tired of the control.aren't you? Isn't it bad enough we are damned to eternal misery and a life of evil. "

shiona just looked at him. "it is not for us to decide, you know this! We serve the high not our own wants! It's the way of our lived hireaki and you need to accept that!"

"I will not accept omething I can control, unlike you I have stopped answering to the high, I merely ignored him and now I can make decitions for myself"

"you were always the stupid one.."

hireaki cut him off. " I am not the stupid one, shiona. You are.while you stand here talking to me.your death is being thought out and.." And with his pause harry ran the dagger into Shions' wrist, pressing with all his strength and any energy he had left. The dagger went through his wrist and shionas blood sprayed and dripped onto the floor.

"AAAHHHHGGGKKKKK !" shiona screamed and mumbled loudly falling to the floor on his knees gripping his wrist.

Harry with drew the dagger and bent and ran in through shionas book hand, peircing it through, as well as his book. Shionas screams were almost unbearable as they got more high pitched before he fell over sideways breathing heavilly. "wh-what have you..done."

Hireaki answered " killed you"

"you know.full well.we ..can .not.die."

"not as an animis, but you are not an aminis..or did you not know that once your book is destroyed you become human and your powers are gone."

"my b-..I..." he screamed again as harry took this time to run the dagged across Shionas neck. Shiona had no tie to scream, he weezed and fell on th floor soon bvleeding to death.

"ugh! What a mess" Hireaki smirked and waved his hand shionas blood dissappearing from the floor as Shiona body vanished from sight. "you did very well harry.I'm. afraid. I can not... explain. things to you now.I. must." he cut off as he fell limp onto the chair, passed out. Harry stood there before dropping the dagger and backing up..he swayed slightly not having regained any of his strength he too was weak and collapsed to the floor.
