Chapter 16- "Last Stand"
[Recca POV]
'Dammit . . . dammit . . .Why the hell can't those idiots get that bastard??' I growled to myself, forcing my body to not leap forwards and join the fight. "Fuuko behind you!!" I winced as Fuuko was slashed in the back by a shadow blade. "Domon! Mikagami!!" Clenching my teeth, I wrote a character in the air. "Madoka!!" The shadow blades that would have pierced deeply into my companions evaporated against the shield.
"A~Arigatou." Mikagami mumbled, wiping the blood out of his eyes. Domon nodded at me and then rushed at Kage once again. "Dumb gorilla." Jumping to his feet, Mikagami attacked Kage from the other side.
"Arigatou Mikagami!" Domon shouted, grinning insanely as he punched and Mikagami slashed at the masked man. I grinned also and glanced down at Hime.
"Ne, Hime . . . any luck?" She kept her head down, her bangs hanging into her eyes and her hands still held over his chest. "Hime?" I knelt down slightly and placed my hand on her shoulder. "Hime." I shook her lightly.
"Eh?" She looked up, her eyes wide and with tears pooling in their corners. "Ah . . . gomen Recca-kun I was concentrating . . . " I nodded then pushed Koganei's head slightly with one foot, it just lolled to the side.
"No . . . no luck so far Hime?"
"Iie . . . I . . . can't heal him totally . . . I . . ."
"Daijobu daijobu Hime!" I said, grinning at her and patting her on the head. "Koganei can pull through it himself! Don't worry bout him!" She looked up at me and I wiped away her tears with my hand.
"You have worse things to worry about . . ." I gritted my teeth and jumped to my feet at the sound of that hated, rasping voice. Domon had been smashed through a park bench and lay unmoving in the rubble, Mikagami slumped against a dented lamppost, blood dripping from a cut on his forehead, Fuuko lay on her front, her right arm twisted abnormally on the ground and debris from a smashed brick wall covering her.
"Mikagami! Fuuko! Domon!! Dammit you bastard . . . how dare you fucking hurt them!" Kage's shadowy (no pun intended! ^^;) figure took a step forward. "Damn! I won't let you hurt Hime!! Homura! Saiha!!" I slashed the two characters into the air and clenched my fists tightly as the two fire dragons appeared and flew in the dark night sky above.
[Koganei POV]
"Covered in shadows again . . ." I murmured, laying on my back and gazing at the blackness that surrounded me. There was a burning pain in my back that never stopped, and I couldn't seem to move into a different position. Voices appeared around me, distorted and eerie as if they bounced off of invisible walls.
"I . . I can't believe I'm this weak. I couldn't even protect Yanagi from that bastard Kage . . . Yanagi . . . I hope she's okay . . ." An image of her being enveloped by shadows appeared in my mind. "Dammit . . . it's all my fault . . . why was I so stupid . . . I should've paid attention . . ." I sighed to myself. "Bloody hell . . . if I wasn't so freakin' obsessed in hearing what happened to everyone when I was gone . . . none of this would've happened . . ."
I lowered my eyes as what I had said hit me. "If I wasn't so obsessed . . . if I wasn't gone . . . it's all my fucking fault . . . I'm sorry . . . I didn't protect you this time . . . but . . ." Gritting my teeth, I sat up. Or, rather, I tried to sit up. "FUCK!! Dammit! That bloody hurt . . ." My eyes widened. "This ~ this is nothing . . . Yanagi could be hurt . . . who gives a fuck how I fucking feel right now! I sure as hell don't!!"
A fanged grin appeared on my face.
[Recca POV]
"Yaaah!!" I flew through the air and crashed into a wire metal fence, denting it beyond repair. I grunted as I hit the floor face first, then slowly pushed myself up into a kneeling position. "Fuck!" Gritting my teeth, I tried to steady my shaking hands as I levered myself up.
"This bastard . . . he's too strong at night." I growled, standing up and wiping the blood off my face. "I bet he was fucking waiting for this. You were fucking waiting for this, weren't you Kage??"
"Feh. Your friend was stupid enough . . . to give me this opportunity . . ." Kage replied, holding his arm out to the side. "I use any means . . . to get what I want." A ball of darkness formed on his upturned palm. "You know . . . what I want . . . don't you? Hanabishi Recca."
Fifty thin shadow needles formed from the ball on his palm and shot towards me. "Ma~" I flinched once as my hand froze at my side, and again as the needles plunged into me. I looked down at right hand that was covered in shadows, then back up at the man who turned his back on me and approached Hime. "You . . ."
I fell on my face for the second time in the last two minutes. Scraping my jaw against the floor, I turned to face my enemy. "Kage . . . stop it . . ." He stopped in front of Hime.
She was kneeling, the still form of Koganei lying beside her, one of her hands half raised as if for defense. "Hime . . .!" Her eyes were wide and tears still in their corners. Kage exhaled sharply and formed a black sword from the shadows, gripping it in his right hand. "Stop it . . ." He raised the sword above his head.
"STOP IT!!!!"
