Overcome one's fear...

Edge, trying desperately to wash the blood from his body, thinks back to just a few hours ago.

"A-Angel..." he approaches the horrified Angel.

"N...NOOOOOO!!! STAY BACK!" She runs off crying.

Edge then dries himself off and dresses back up still not knowing what came over him.

"What was that...I just don't know..."

Then out of nowhere a tall woman with long black hair comes out of the faint light of the lone doorway.

"Who are you?" Edge asks the woman.

"I am Chizuru, and what you just experienced was called the Riot of the Blood, or as it is called Orochi power."

"Orochi...all I saw was red...blood red...I don't want anything to do with this power."

"You don't have a choice...it's your fate to die, for those infected with the Orochi...are doomed to have short life spans.

"Fate is what you make it...not the other way around...now excuse me theirs someone I have to go see. Oh yeah...you tell Mr. Kusanagi...he's next to go down."

"I will..."

Edge ran out the arena back to the motel. Angel wasn't their just K9999.

"She's not here..." K9999 snapped.

"Oh...sorry..." Edge responded.

"Sigh...I just will tell you one thing, and you better get it right. Fireflies..."

"Oh...Ok thanks" As Edge ran for the door K9999 stopped him.

"You better treat her right or else."

"I will...thanks..."

Edge ran back to the firefly filled pond where he first confessed his heart. He looked around and finally found Angel crying on the bench where they first kissed. Edge stood there not able to move.

"Angel (sob) knows you're there (sniff) so just go away."

"No...I will not leave the one person I have ever cared about because of some stupid power or disease or whatever you call this shit."

"You were always so strong Edge...I'm sorry if Angel isn't strong. I ran away when you needed me to help you. I was so scared.

Suddenly from out of knowhere some street thugs appeared

"Sorry to spoil the moment for you two but hand over the cash and any valuables."

"No way" Angel responds kicking one of the thugs in the gut. Then one appears from out of the bushes and attempts to stab her.

"Eat this bitch!"

Angel look out!" Edge pushes her out the way. Only to get stabbed himself.

"Edge!" Angel knocks away the thug.

"Hngh...The pain...ghaaaa...Angel get away now please." Edge feels his blood boil and burn. Angel very slowly gets back.

"Get 'em!" The thugs quickly try to take Edge out however it is too late.

"DIE!" Edge tears each and every last person apart. The screams echo throuh out the air. Blood is spilled and bones broken in a blink of an eye.

"GRAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Edge stands tears start to flow from his eyes.

"Edge...you need me don't you..." Angel whispers to herself.

" An-Ange-l...stay...away...rah GRAHHH!!!!!" Edge struggles to stand

"I won't run away anymore. You saved my life and promised to love me. I owe you this much...Edge..." Angel then steps up to Edge and pulls him close.

"Grrr...guhh!!!" Edge struggles to pull away but can't.

"Edge...I'm...sorry...Angel will be here for you...always and forever..."

She kisses him slowly. Edge can feel his blood cool down. He stops shivering and tears flow from their eyes.

"I will always love you Edge...no matter what..." She cries into his embrace.

"Don't cry...please...I love you with all my heart...this is the truth and will always be the truth.... Angel..."

They both return to the motel to rest. I don't know...but to me...I think the deserve it. I guess you don't know how much you care about some one until they are out of reach...but hey that's just my opinion...well as Angel would say...

..."Oshimai" A.K.A. The End...maybe...
