"This is a One on Fifteen match. The prodigy Sui Ming against the fifteen fighters!" The refree shouted. "This match does not involve guns, missiles, or any technology of today." The Seigaku regulars' eyes widened.
"Ochibi! You mean Sui-chan is going to fight all of those evil looking people!?" Eiji screamed.
"I guess. I didn't know about this when I got the phone call or when I got the tickets." Ryoma replied.
"If you looked at her arm before in the locker room." Tezuka started.
"Her arm can't move anymore." Syusuke finished.
"That's not good." Momo and Oishi added.
"I never knew Sui was a prodigy. I wonder what kind of prodigy." Eiji pondered.
"Ready! Begin!" The refree started the fight. Three of the fighters pulled out claws. Two pulled out swords. Eight got darts. The last two fought barehanded. Sui evaded the attacks with darts perfectly.
"Refree!! You can't let Sui-chan fight on her own!! It's unfair!!" Eiji screamed.
"The choice of fighting on her own was Sui's idea." The refree replied. Sui winced as a sword cut her shoulder. Blood was dripping through her uniform that provided very little protection. Sui held the kunai's in between each finger. She threw the five kunais and they hit five fighters' forehead with out a problem.
"Eiji.. I think Sui is a prodigy of martial arts." Oishi answered his long ignored question.
"GO SUI-CHAN!!!!" Eiji screamed to busy to hear Oishi. A fighter kicked Sui and sent her skidding on the ground. Crashing into the wall.
"That must hurt." Momo commented. Sui grabbed the man's collar and kicked him that sent him flying into the audience. Smartly the audience sitting there got up and moved to the side. Blood was sprayed onto Sui's face and the arena. Sui jumped back missing a direct stab to the heart. She dropped to the ground and tripped the fighter. Using the fallen sword she stabbed the man's abdomen. Blood continued to spray onto Sui.
"What is she doing!?" Yoh shouted. Manta, Horo Horo, Ryu, Lyserg, and their spirits looked shocked, confused, and partly angered.
"It's her rage." Yoh turned around.
"You're her brother. Fei Ling right?" Manta asked. Fei Ling nodded.
"Master Ren's new fiancee Xian hired someone to run into our little brother with a car. Now his legs are completely useless. Another one was hired to kill Sui by shooting her down but missed only cutting apart her muscles." Fei Ling explained.
"With all her anger and rage at Xian, she's a completely different person." Lie xia cried. A cry of pain was heard from the arena. Sui had elbowed the man's arm and successfully making the arm go the other way. The sickening crack of bones were heard. Lie xia and Chi-Lee clutched onto their brother.
"Don't worry. It'll be over soon." Fei Ling soothed.
"Sui might be tramatized after all this." Anna added.
"Sister hates the sight of blood because it hurts others." Chi-Lee sobbed. The Mankin-tachi turned to see a man flying in the air because Sui had kicked him repeatedly finishing off with a kick that sent him soaring.
"Damn....." Horo Horo cursed as the man crashed into a billboard sign.
"Nine down. Six to go. You better get ready to die." Sui growled. A dagger from the audience came flying at her. The dagger was caught in Sui's hand. Blood bubbled from her hand. She threw it back and it hit the man on the hand who threw it.
"No cheating!!!" Yoh screamed.
"Yoh calm down. Sui got everything ready and in order." Horo Horo hissed. Lie xia pushed him.
"No! That's not my sister!" Lie xia cried. The remaining four fighters ran from the arena.
"Sui Ming is the winner!" The refree muttered into the microphone. Sui closed her eyes for a while. She opened them, her eyes back to a normal clear look.
"What did I do?" Sui asked. She finally saw the mangled and bloody bodies of the fighters. Sui fell to the knees on the crimson painted ground. Her body began to trembled. The Seigaku Regulars ran from the seats along with the Mings and Mankin-tachi.
"Sui-chan.... Are you all right?" Eiji questioned. Sui looked at him and hugged him suddenly. Eiji looked at the others. Seeing the Mankin-tachi and Mings' saddened blank, he remained silent.
"Yoh, where's Ren?" Manta questioned in a whisper. Yoh shook his head and looked at the high tower. Three shadowed figures stood there.
"I can't...." Sui started.
"Can't what?" Fuji questioned.
"I can't even cry for those people. I hurt them and I can't cry." Sui muttered.
"Sui, you don't have to cry. You already fell guilty so it's alright." Ryoma said. Sui buried her face in Eiji's chest.
"Ren, we should go down there." Jun said. Ren just glared at the figure of Eiji and Sui. "Bailong. Lets go." Bailong and Jun walked out the tower.
"Ren, go down there." En ordered. Ran placed her hand on her son's shoulder.
"You belong down there with Sui and the others." Ran murmured. Ren closed his eyes.
"I don't belong anywhere." Ren muttered. Ran stared at him concerned.
"You should go down there. Sui's in enough pain physically and emotionally." Ran said. Ren turned around.
"What do you mean?" Ren questioned.
"Her arm. Xian hired a assassin to kill her. Sui evaded the bullets but two of the bullets sliced through her arms muscle. And Xian had hired someone to hit Young Fang Ming with a car. And now he is unable to walk." Ran explained.
"Forever?" Ren questioned.
"Yes, and Sui's parents....." En trailed off.
"Sui's parents? Ming?" Ren asked.
"No, her real parents." En answered.
"The Ming's aren't her real family?"
"No, they are not. You see Sui is not Chinese, she is Japanese."
"Then how did she get here?"
"Her parents were friends of ours and when they came to visit they left Sui here." En and Ran left the room. Ren placed his hand on the glass window.
"Sui, what are you?" Ren questioned to no one in particular.
Once Sui had fallen asleep from the lack of food, sleep, and loss of too much blood. They brought her to the hospital.
"Nurse, what is Ming Sui's blood type." The doctor questioned.
"The results are unknown. Something we've never seen before." The nurse replied completely confused.
"What about her friends?"
"They don't know."
"Then get her any blood type." The doctor ordered. The nurse nodded and went to the blood storage room.
"Ming Sui can take visitors now." The doctor said. He lifted a pointer finger. "But only 1 at a time because of her condition."
They pulled straws and Horo Horo got the longest so he got to go first. "No fair! I got the shortest straw!!!" Eiji shouted. Oishi, Fuji, and Momo patted his back.
"Sui, are you all right?" Horo Horo questioned. Sui was attached to many machines. Her left eye was covered by a bandage. Her left cheek had deep scratches from the people using claws. Since she had too many wounds on her chest, the blood ran through the shirt showing all her wounds. Her shoulders had a small scratch but just a little bit higher then her abdomen she had many bandages from the kick. The man who kicked her had a small spike on his shoe. Tubes were taped to her wrists.
"I'm fine." Sui said with a monotone voice.
"Do you still feel bad about the fight?" Seeing to her silence, he asked another question. "What did the doctors say?"
"They said I have a blood type they never saw before. They think I'm some super rare human." Sui chuckled. Her eyes didn't shine.
"I guess I have to leave because there are still alot of people wanting to visit." Horo Horo said. Sui nodded. "Manta's coming in next so I'll put this chair here."
"Bye." Horo Horo walked out of the room. Sui could hear the shouts of Eiji.
"Hey Sui." Manta greeted.
"Hey. Manta, is Master Ren here?" Sui questioned. Manta shook his head.
"But Jun is here. Without Bailong because he has purple skin." Manta said. "Why were the doctors shouting before?"
"My blood type. It's suppose to be really rare. I'm the only one with the blood type." Sui repeated what she said to Horo Horo.
"I should be going now."
"Lady Jun." Sui greeted. Jun smiled grimly.
"Sui, Ren wanted to see you but he just can't. You've certainly sparked an interest in Ren." Jun laughed.
"I'm just an ordianry girl. Nothing special about me." Sui responded.
"That is completely wrong. But I apologize for Xian. You and Fang. I wish I could mend everything but I can't."
"I got part of my revenge so I'm a bit better. Normally I wouldn't like fighting but it wasn't for me. It was for Fang." Sui said.
"Sui-chan!!!!" Eiji shouted happily. Sui smiled ignoring the ringing of Eiji's voice in her ear.
"Hey Eiji." Sui greeted.
"You should rest. You can heal faster then we can play tennis!" Eiji cheered. Sui grinned.
"I have a question about your friends, Tezuka and Fuji."
"Buchou and Fuji-chan?"
"Yea, how come Tezuka doesn't talk much?"
"It's his way of showing happiness." Eiji answered quickly. Sui blinked, a cat look on her face.
"And Fuji, how does he see through his eyes during tennis when his eyes are always closed?"
"His eyes are never fully closed." Sui tilted her head to the side.
"That's odd." Sui commented closing her eyes to rest. A soft knock on the door opened Sui's eyes. The nurse walked in.
"Ming has to rest now. Visiting hours are over in 30 minutes." She ordered with a stern face. Eiji frowned.
"Sayonara Sui-chan." Eiji said and left.
"Ming, get some sleep." The nurse said, but Sui was already asleep.
Sui's eye fluttered open. In the darkness she could see a figure sitting in the chair next to her. It was a male with gold eyes.
"Master Ren." Sui murmured.
"Sui." Ren responded. Sui's hand reached out into the darkness. Ren held her hand.
"What are you doing here?" Sui questioned feeling relieved.
"Just visiting while Xian isn't complaining." Ren replied. Sui chuckled softly.
"How is Xian?" Sui asked thinking about how much Xian would complain about losing the match.
"She's angry and stupid. Nothing out of the ordinary." Ren answered. Sui put Ren's hand on her cheek. "What did the doctors say?"
"Everyone is so interested in that question." Sui chuckled. "The doctors think I'm a rare human. They consulted the officials into putting me under special care just because of my blood type." Ren smirked.
"You're on everyone's interests now." Ren added.
"How?" Sui questioned tilting her head to the side.
"The fight. How you defeated the fighters with one unusable arm. Even doctors are amazed." Ren answered. Because of the darkness Ren thought Sui couldn't see the blush appearing on his cheeks.
"Why did you come?" Sui asked again.
"You forgot Unmei back in our palace so I decided to bring her here." Ren replied. He reached into a backpack and pulled out Unmei. On Unmei's head was a headband that said, 'Ren and Xian's love'. Sui blinked.
"What's the headband?" Sui questioned.
"Uh..Xian still thinks Unmei is hers so she put the headband on. Everytime I remove it she starts whining." Ren answered. Sui nodded. Unmei jumped on the bed. Sui grabbed the headband and rolled it off her head. Sui tossed it out the window.
"It's only been 2 months and Unmei grew alot." Sui commented.
"Yea, when you left Unmei started to cry. Then Xian thought Unmei missed her 'mommy' and started hugging her which made Unmei cry even more." Ren muttered. Sui flinched at the word Xian.
"Master Ren, why do you keep bringing up Xian? I want to forget her but she put my family through so much already and it makes it even harder to forget her." Sui cried. Ren remained silent. He dropped Sui's hand. Grabbed the backpack and walked out of the room. Sui brought her legs up to her chest. She lowered her head and suddenly a single pearl tear fell from her eye. The single tear started a small flow of tears. They dropped soundlessly onto the blanket. Her heart was left empty and painful. "L-look at me....I-I'm becoming so selfish...Fang said it was cruption of the heart." Sui cried.
"Ming? It's time for breakfast." The nurse called. After a few seconds of hearing no response or sound the nurse opened the door. She poked her head and in gasped. The bed was empty. Sui's shelf of her items: Uniform, weapons, hair accessories. (A/N: I think I failed to mention since it's been so long. Sui's hair has grown out and long enough to be tied in a bun with the long hair pin through it.) The only thing left were the bloody bandages left. There was bloody footprints on the ground leading out the door to the hallway and out. Everyone had failed to notice it. The nurse rushed to get the doctors.
"Sui-chan!?" Eiji shouted inside the room with his eyes closed from the happiness. Fuji, an annoyed Tezuka, a half awake Ryoma, Momo, and Oishi. Eiji opened his eyes. "Sui-chan?" Eiji called again.
"Eiji, I think you got the wrong room." Oishi pointed out. Fuji shook his head.
"This is the room." Fuji disagreed.
"Then were is she?" Momo questioned. Ryoma had fallen to the ground asleep.
"Ec- Wahh!!!" Momo shrieked. Everyone looked at him.
"What's wrong!?" Eiji questioned.
"Blood prints." Momo pointed to the ground. Eiji gasped.
"The person's feet are really small." Eiji gasped. Fuji was already following the prints.
At the end of the footprints were guards who had been knocked out cold. "I guess Sui really wanted to leave this place." Fuji muttered.
"She couldn't have gone far." Said the usually silent Tezuka.
"Lets see. Her legs were cut really deep. There were 8 cuts on her leg." Oishi said.
"Now, it's rainning and we're lost." Ryoma growled. Eiji whistled and look away.
"Kikumaru, this is all your fault." Tezuka accused.
"I didn't do anything." Eiji denied. They ran under a tree.
"From what I can see we're by a cliff." Momo pointed out. Eiji stared at the cliff.
"Tezuka...." Fuji started. "There's blood running from the cliff." Ryoma blinked. Then blinked again. Ryoma ran up to the cliff. Ryoma stopped.
"Sui!" Ryoma shouted with his eyes wide open. A bloody body was on the cliff. Ryoma ran over to her along with the other Seigaku Regulars that came.
"Aren't people going to wonder if there's blood on the streets and things?" Eiji questioned.
"The rain will wash it away." Fuji replied simply with a small smile.
"I think this girl is really stupid. She left the hospital and came here." Ryoma muttered. Her bandages and casts were removed the only bandage left was the one over her chest and eye.
"What are you waiting for?" Tezuka asked.
"Waiting for what?" Eiji asked.
"Pick her up."
"Good thing you took Chinese lessons, Fuji-senpai." Momo sighed.
"I never took a Chinese lesson." Syusuke replied. Momo had his eyes wide open.
"Then how did you talk to him into lending us the hotel room!?" Oishi shouted. The tensai smiled lightly and shrugged.
"Does it have to do with the hotel manager turning purple?" Ryoma questioned. Fuji opened his eyes a little. So they could see the mischievious look. Eiji leaned towards Oishi.
"I think he used Inui's juice." Eiji whispered Oishi nodded. Inui smiled proudly. Momo rumaged through the rooms.
"They have sake." Momo exclaimed. He handed a bottle to everyone except Sui who was unconscious and Ryoma because he thought it was nasty.
"Cheers!" Eiji shouted and they banged the bottles together and drank.
"BANZAI!!!" Eiji screamed. Momo collasped on the ground after trying to hit an imaginary Ryoma because the real one was leaning against the wall with his head lowered.
"Buchou. My head hurts." Fuji complained and tripped over Oishi landing on the foot of Sui's bed. Tezuka smirked at Fuji, he and Ryoma were the only ones awake and not drunk.
"BANZAI!" Eiji screamed again. In his sleep Oishi grabbed his foot and pulled Kikumaru to the ground. He landed with a loud thud. Inui passed out just by smelling the sake.
"Ryoma, are you going to sleep?" Tezuka questioned. Ryoma shook his head. Tezuka shrugged and pulled Fuji off Sui's bed and put him on other bed. Fuji had a impossilbe grip to escape, he latched his hand on Tezuka's wrist and pulled him down. Ryoma got up. He stared at Sui's torn uniform back. A deep scar was showing. Ryoma silently crept towards her. He reached out to touch the scar but at the last second he pulled his hand back. Her scar was about 6 to 8 inches long.
"A wound from a tournament?" Ryoma questioned to himself. Sui's wound on her leg was showing her raw flesh showing how deep it was. Her cheek was still bleeding. Ryoma absentmindedly wiped the blood away with the back of his hand. Sui's eyes shot open suddenly scaring Ryoma again. She placed her hand over his. Suddenly tears began to appear slowly in her eyes. The tears ran down and touched Ryoma's hand.
"Why...why do I feel so lost?" Sui cried. Ryoma was shocked. He didn't expect her to start crying. Ryoma opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Ryoma placed his other hand on Sui's cheek.
"Don't cry." Ryoma murmured. "It doesn't suit you." Sui stared in to his brown eyes. So different from Ren's but so alike at the same time. Ryoma leaned closer to her. His lips pressed over hers. Sui's eyes opened wide *not that wide*. With her emotions confused and lost, she kissed him back closing her eyes.
Kage Blade: Gomen for not updating. I had to visit.....an old friend.
To Li Dong Shih, my family honors you. May Kami-sama protect you and your family and may you be in peace.
"Ochibi! You mean Sui-chan is going to fight all of those evil looking people!?" Eiji screamed.
"I guess. I didn't know about this when I got the phone call or when I got the tickets." Ryoma replied.
"If you looked at her arm before in the locker room." Tezuka started.
"Her arm can't move anymore." Syusuke finished.
"That's not good." Momo and Oishi added.
"I never knew Sui was a prodigy. I wonder what kind of prodigy." Eiji pondered.
"Ready! Begin!" The refree started the fight. Three of the fighters pulled out claws. Two pulled out swords. Eight got darts. The last two fought barehanded. Sui evaded the attacks with darts perfectly.
"Refree!! You can't let Sui-chan fight on her own!! It's unfair!!" Eiji screamed.
"The choice of fighting on her own was Sui's idea." The refree replied. Sui winced as a sword cut her shoulder. Blood was dripping through her uniform that provided very little protection. Sui held the kunai's in between each finger. She threw the five kunais and they hit five fighters' forehead with out a problem.
"Eiji.. I think Sui is a prodigy of martial arts." Oishi answered his long ignored question.
"GO SUI-CHAN!!!!" Eiji screamed to busy to hear Oishi. A fighter kicked Sui and sent her skidding on the ground. Crashing into the wall.
"That must hurt." Momo commented. Sui grabbed the man's collar and kicked him that sent him flying into the audience. Smartly the audience sitting there got up and moved to the side. Blood was sprayed onto Sui's face and the arena. Sui jumped back missing a direct stab to the heart. She dropped to the ground and tripped the fighter. Using the fallen sword she stabbed the man's abdomen. Blood continued to spray onto Sui.
"What is she doing!?" Yoh shouted. Manta, Horo Horo, Ryu, Lyserg, and their spirits looked shocked, confused, and partly angered.
"It's her rage." Yoh turned around.
"You're her brother. Fei Ling right?" Manta asked. Fei Ling nodded.
"Master Ren's new fiancee Xian hired someone to run into our little brother with a car. Now his legs are completely useless. Another one was hired to kill Sui by shooting her down but missed only cutting apart her muscles." Fei Ling explained.
"With all her anger and rage at Xian, she's a completely different person." Lie xia cried. A cry of pain was heard from the arena. Sui had elbowed the man's arm and successfully making the arm go the other way. The sickening crack of bones were heard. Lie xia and Chi-Lee clutched onto their brother.
"Don't worry. It'll be over soon." Fei Ling soothed.
"Sui might be tramatized after all this." Anna added.
"Sister hates the sight of blood because it hurts others." Chi-Lee sobbed. The Mankin-tachi turned to see a man flying in the air because Sui had kicked him repeatedly finishing off with a kick that sent him soaring.
"Damn....." Horo Horo cursed as the man crashed into a billboard sign.
"Nine down. Six to go. You better get ready to die." Sui growled. A dagger from the audience came flying at her. The dagger was caught in Sui's hand. Blood bubbled from her hand. She threw it back and it hit the man on the hand who threw it.
"No cheating!!!" Yoh screamed.
"Yoh calm down. Sui got everything ready and in order." Horo Horo hissed. Lie xia pushed him.
"No! That's not my sister!" Lie xia cried. The remaining four fighters ran from the arena.
"Sui Ming is the winner!" The refree muttered into the microphone. Sui closed her eyes for a while. She opened them, her eyes back to a normal clear look.

"I can't...." Sui started.
"Can't what?" Fuji questioned.
"I can't even cry for those people. I hurt them and I can't cry." Sui muttered.
"Sui, you don't have to cry. You already fell guilty so it's alright." Ryoma said. Sui buried her face in Eiji's chest.
"Ren, we should go down there." Jun said. Ren just glared at the figure of Eiji and Sui. "Bailong. Lets go." Bailong and Jun walked out the tower.
"Ren, go down there." En ordered. Ran placed her hand on her son's shoulder.
"You belong down there with Sui and the others." Ran murmured. Ren closed his eyes.
"I don't belong anywhere." Ren muttered. Ran stared at him concerned.

"Tezuka...." Fuji started. "There's blood running from the cliff." Ryoma blinked. Then blinked again. Ryoma ran up to the cliff. Ryoma stopped.
"Sui!" Ryoma shouted with his eyes wide open. A bloody body was on the cliff. Ryoma ran over to her along with the other Seigaku Regulars that came.
"Aren't people going to wonder if there's blood on the streets and things?" Eiji questioned.
"The rain will wash it away." Fuji replied simply with a small smile.
"I think this girl is really stupid. She left the hospital and came here." Ryoma muttered. Her bandages and casts were removed the only bandage left was the one over her chest and eye.
"What are you waiting for?" Tezuka asked.
"Waiting for what?" Eiji asked.
"Pick her up."
"Good thing you took Chinese lessons, Fuji-senpai." Momo sighed.
"I never took a Chinese lesson." Syusuke replied. Momo had his eyes wide open.
"Then how did you talk to him into lending us the hotel room!?" Oishi shouted. The tensai smiled lightly and shrugged.
"Does it have to do with the hotel manager turning purple?" Ryoma questioned. Fuji opened his eyes a little. So they could see the mischievious look. Eiji leaned towards Oishi.
"I think he used Inui's juice." Eiji whispered Oishi nodded. Inui smiled proudly. Momo rumaged through the rooms.
"They have sake." Momo exclaimed. He handed a bottle to everyone except Sui who was unconscious and Ryoma because he thought it was nasty.
"Cheers!" Eiji shouted and they banged the bottles together and drank.
"BANZAI!!!" Eiji screamed. Momo collasped on the ground after trying to hit an imaginary Ryoma because the real one was leaning against the wall with his head lowered.
"Buchou. My head hurts." Fuji complained and tripped over Oishi landing on the foot of Sui's bed. Tezuka smirked at Fuji, he and Ryoma were the only ones awake and not drunk.
"BANZAI!" Eiji screamed again. In his sleep Oishi grabbed his foot and pulled Kikumaru to the ground. He landed with a loud thud. Inui passed out just by smelling the sake.
"Ryoma, are you going to sleep?" Tezuka questioned. Ryoma shook his head. Tezuka shrugged and pulled Fuji off Sui's bed and put him on other bed. Fuji had a impossilbe grip to escape, he latched his hand on Tezuka's wrist and pulled him down. Ryoma got up. He stared at Sui's torn uniform back. A deep scar was showing. Ryoma silently crept towards her. He reached out to touch the scar but at the last second he pulled his hand back. Her scar was about 6 to 8 inches long.
"A wound from a tournament?" Ryoma questioned to himself. Sui's wound on her leg was showing her raw flesh showing how deep it was. Her cheek was still bleeding. Ryoma absentmindedly wiped the blood away with the back of his hand. Sui's eyes shot open suddenly scaring Ryoma again. She placed her hand over his. Suddenly tears began to appear slowly in her eyes. The tears ran down and touched Ryoma's hand.
"Why...why do I feel so lost?" Sui cried. Ryoma was shocked. He didn't expect her to start crying. Ryoma opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. Ryoma placed his other hand on Sui's cheek.
"Don't cry." Ryoma murmured. "It doesn't suit you." Sui stared in to his brown eyes. So different from Ren's but so alike at the same time. Ryoma leaned closer to her. His lips pressed over hers. Sui's eyes opened wide *not that wide*. With her emotions confused and lost, she kissed him back closing her eyes.
