Pain of the Sword v2.0
Chapter: 8 Hearts Madness
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
They all watched as Mia fell to the ground with a thud. The white glow that had once surrounded her body slowly disappeared.
"Mia!" Tanoshii reached out, but was thrown back with a hard force, "Silence you fool!" Tanoshii's eyes turned dark as he scolded.
"Is it just me or does it seem like Tanoshii dude has lost it?" Kento asked when they saw Tanoshii growl and hold his head in-between his palms.
"No he's just having some problems with the owner of the body." Harial smirked stepping up next to the boys.
All eyes shot over to him. Harial no longer wore the white outfit but cream leather pants with gold shin-guards and a white shirt with gold elbow-guards and two gold plated belts crossing over his chest.
"Are you ready Tanoshii?" Harial raised an eyebrow as he pulled the Kaza Yoru swords out.
Tanoshii looked at Harial and growled, "You think that just by taking Mia's power that you can beat me? Ha!" Tanoshii laughed and a long curved blade appeared in his hands. Running it front of his face Tanoshii set up his fighting stance.
"Maybe not. But it's a start." Harial ran at Tanoshii, and Tanoshii soon followed.
When they were both a few feet from each other, they both jumped into the air. Harial got the best height and did a roundhouse on Tanoshii's head.
Tanoshii fell back a bit, but recovered quickly. He threw himself at Harial, sword dripping with green acid, in the position to strike the chest. Harial jumped back and landed on the banister only for Tanoshii to sweep in behind him. Just as Harial turned
Tanoshii took his sword right across his chest. Harial cried out in pain as the sharp metal lacerated his chest and the acid seeped into his body. Harial considered himself lucky to have two swords of his own to block Tanoshii's sword from doing any more damage.
Down below the Ronins kneeled around Mia. Rowen had her head in his lap and
Sage was trying to heal her. The thing that was confusing is that her body wouldn't take the power he was trying to give.
Ryo looked back and forth, from Mia to the fight. To him it seemed Harial was wearing thin. 'Could this Tanoshii guy be powerful enough to withstand that much power?' Ryo asked himself.
His eyes widened when the three swords clashed together. Tanoshii had Harial pushed up against the railing with his sword to his neck.
"This can't be happening! It just can't!" Ryo yelled drawing his swords and jumping up to the second floor.
"Ryo no!" Cye screamed at his friend.
Ryo charged at Tanoshii's back, swords drawn and anger flaring. His armor began to glow red. Ryo jumped into the air and brought his sword down on Tanoshii's back.
Light burst everywhere and Ryo was thrown to the hard wall.
Looking around them, the Ronin's found them selves in the same cave that they had found when going to Terry's apartment. This time it was snowing.
"What the..." Kento scratched his helmet-covered head.
Laughter echoed all through the cave; it wasn't the happy, joyous cries of victory, or the giddy laughter of school children. No, it was a blood freezing laughter of a crazed maniac.
Tanoshii dropped his arms to his sides, still laughing ever so hard. As he dropped his hands a bubble that had surrounded his body flexed then pulled into his body, disappearing.
"Such fools! Do you think that by coming at me one by one you can defeat me!?
That's hilarious!" He laughed even more, but stopped suddenly. Looking down there was a small dagger puncturing his abdomen. Tanoshii's head shot up and found angry yellow glowing eyes looking at him.
"Mia!" He gasped.
"Your right Tanoshii. They can't beat you by coming at you one at a time." Mia gave a smile.
"Huh?" Tanoshii looked at the bloody girl as glass, and rock start to swirl around her.
"One man may not be able..." Mia winced as the energy that she had left began to fade, "be able to defeat you, but I bet my life that six can." Mia hissed.
"What are you talking about? Darling I believe you have lost it. Have you already forgotten that these boys never fight together? Even after you told them a hundred times, yet when the battle comes they all split up. The only time they ever work together is when fire boy over there," Tanoshii points to Ryo trying to get up, "calls on Inferno." Tanoshii shook his head.
Mia just smiled as the debris shot out from around her. As it went past the Ronins, and a weak looking Harial, they began to glow. The boys' eyes turned hazy and they all took a quick deep breath. As they breathed back out white mist rolled out of their mouths and traveled up to Harial. Closing his eyes he breathed in the power of the Ronins.
Mia just hummed, "This is all I can give you." She whispered, "It is all I have left." This time Mia stood there like a statue as her power left her. Smiling at the boys, they fell to the ground exhausted. Mia then looked at Harial as he rose, "Master." She whispered before bowing then falling down, this time she would not get up.
A tear ran down Harial's cheek as a small trickle of blood slowly slipped out from underneath Mia's body.
The Ronins wanted to rush to their big sister's side, but they couldn't get up.
Tanoshii stood there dumb struck, "She left me..." A softer voice came out of Tanoshii's mouth, "What have I done! What have you done to me!" He yelled grabbing his hair and screaming again. Tears ran down his face and power went everywhere.
Harial blocked his face with his arm to block and flying debris.
"What are you doing?!" Tanoshii screamed at himself.
"Leave me be you demon!" Tears came rushing out off his eyes, "You have caused me to kill the greatest thing in my life!"
"You fool! You will kill use both!"
"I don't care!"
"What the hell?" Harial squinted against the white light that cracked out of Tanoshii's body.
'Now Harial, Now!' A soft voice whispered in his ear on the wind.
Harial's eyes flashed white and two swords materialized in his hands.
'Now!'
Harial leaped into the air and placed the two blades together. White light shot of the swords and trailed behind them as his feet landed on Tanoshii's chest and the swords ripped through his body.
Tanoshii screamed in agony and another scream sounded, faint but loud enough to e heard. Then silence.
Harial stepped back and on the floor lay a dead looking Tanoshii. Turning around a tear slipped from his eyes at the sight of Mia lying in a small puddle of her own blood.
"Mia?" Walking up to her he dropped the swords in his hands as he kneeled beside her.
"Is she going to be okay?" A whisper came from behind him.
Turning around Harial saw Cye attempting to pick himself off the ground, but failing miserably.
"Don't move Torrent. You are too weak at this moment. You will all need a good long rest," Harial looked down at Mia, he caught a small movement from her lip, "Mia?"
Nothing.
"Mia, please little one, speak to me. Show me a sign that you will live... Please."
No reply came. Harial's head dropped to his chest and Mia's cold body feel from his arms.
"No!" Tears streaked down his face and seeped into his wrinkles in agony. "What have I done to you my child? What...have...I...done?"
A small harsh breath filled Harial's ears, turning around he saw Tanoshii... Terry moving ever so slightly.
"My goodness." Sage struggled up and over to Terry's mutilated body.
"Whe- where," Terry coughed and blood splattered from his mouth.
"Where is...she?" Another cough.
Sage said nothing, just stared at him in horror.
Harial stood and walked over to them carrying Mia's lifeless body in his arms.
"My..." Another spasms of coughs over took his body. You could hear the sounds
of ripping skin and tearing organs as he coughed more and more.
"What have I done... My love..." Tears feel from his eyes on onto the floor,
mixing with blood.
"Do not worry young man. It is not your fault." Harial looked down at him.
"Can I at least hold her hand?" Coughs came through his nose as Terry closed his mouth.
A cold breeze blew through the cave bringing snow in with it. Harial laid Mia's body down beside Terry.
The Ronin's stood in their sub-armors as they watched Terry move his tall lacerated body towards Mia. Standing in shock at the thought of Mia, their best friend, the women that helped them with the Dynasty, the kind person who gave them room and board for free and never complained about the mess, dead. It so much to even think that thought. Every time one of them swallowed it felt as though their whole body would be vomited out.
Figures entwined, Terry sighed and closed his eyes.
Another cold breeze swept through the cave, freezing all tears, even those from silver eyes.
A woman's heart is a vast ocean, be careful when it brews.
For she is delicate and can break, so hold her close and tenderly.
She has the power to create, control, and destroy.
She holds the power of the swords...
And...
Though dull it may be...
The pain...
Is still...
Great...
