Hello- Okie dokie! Right on to the story line... Remember, Ruon just smashed
poor Arisa into the stadium's floor, and yeah....
(Arisa's POV)
"ONE!"
"Ah... so this is how I die??" I muttered as my body scream out in pain. I moved my head slightly, trying to get my bearings when each nerve of my screamed in protest. I bit my lip to avoid screaming. I could feel blood ooze out of every cut on my body. Salty tears and coppery blood mixed in my mouth.
"TWO!"
'I won't be missed, never have been, never will be... and I'll get to see my parents again...' I thought to myself, sobbing slightly. I didn't know whether or not I wanted to die, and I guess that was the problem. Sobs started to make my body shudder, and tears poured silently out of my eyes.
"THREE!"
Why won't that person stop counting? I'm gone, dying, leave me alone already! My head pounded in agony. Maybe I could just lay here until she calls out ten. Sure, I'd let the team down, but heck, it was going to happen eventually, might as well just lay here, stay in this hole of pity.
"FOUR!"
Man, I wish I could have just gotten a few small punches in on that Ruon guy! Doesn't matter anymore, I mean...No!! I can't do that!! I... I... don't want... don't want to die? Yeah I
"Five!"
WILL THAT BROAD EVER STOP COUNTING?? JEEZ!! Fine, you win!!! I reached up slowly grasping one jagged side of the hole. My hands scrabbled so I could reach the rock. It hurt so badly and my fingers felt so many little splinters of rock cut my hands and I reached up with my free hand and wiped the blood out of my eyes.
"SIX!!"
I'm coming!! I'm coming!!! I slowly clambered out of the hole, feeling my hands getting ripped apart by the large, sharp fragments of rock. I'm gonna make it.... Someday.... Some year.... Some century?? Is it just me or is this hole growing??
"SEVEN!"
"Shut... up..." I gasped as I tried to yell. All that is succeeded in doing was making more blood pour out of my mouth.
'All right, not doing that again,' I thought to myself as I wiped my mouth. My blood tasted really bad very much like
"EIGHT!!"
"I'm COMING!!" my once sweet voice slowly climbed out of my throat and sounded like an old man. I don't know if my voice actually reached the top of the hole, but I groaned as I started to feel light bathe my tattered skin. I did it!!
"Nin... wait!! Arisa is out of the hole!!" the announcer's voice drilled through my throbbing head. I pulled my body out of the hole and struggled to my feet. (POV Kurama)
I stood there, watching the body of Arisa pull itself out of the hole. She appeared more dead then alive and crimson blood pooled around her bare feet, her pant's legs torn vertically all the way up far past her knees. I blushed as her once crisp white now was deep burgundy and clung to her small frame damply. I didn't want to admit it, but for some reason, I didn't want to believe she had died, and relief washed over me so quickly, I felt flooded in it. Part of me felt overwhelmed with joy, and the other part of me wanted to rush to her and try to save her. I sighed in relief, though why was still a mystery to me. (normal POV)
"Ha ha ha, so the girly can stand pain, I won't lie, you impress me, but you're life will be mine," Ruon called out to her as he fingered a deep red amulet that hung from his neck.
"I still have a few more surprises up my sleeves," Arisa replied, her voice threadbare and watery.
"Good, I was hoping for an interesting fight," Ruon replied, and with that, he disappeared from her sight yet again.
"DON'T YOU EVER STAY IN ONCE PLACE??" Arisa yelled out, then she soon regretted it as more blood trickled out of her mouth.
'D, I must be internally bleeding!' Arisa thought to herself as she wiped off more blood.
Then she felt it, cold, unforgiving steel enter into her body numerous times and stay. Three in the shoulder region, one in her right leg's thigh, and two more in the lower back. The daggers stood out of her back and Arisa cried out in pain again as a fresh new wave of pain washed over her.
"Didn't I tell you? You are going to die SLOWLY. I haven't hit any major organs or arteries, so you'll live."
"Unfortunately," Arisa replied as she reached back and pulled out the last of the daggers. She grimaced at him as she dropped the daggers out of the ring.
"Aw, so you are not going to use those, what a stupid little girl," he smirked back at her, and laughed frigidly.
"You know, you're right," she replied as she charged at him, and managed to punch him square in the jaw, but Ruon grabbed her by her shirt collar, and threw her back onto the ground.
"Hm?" he muttered as he felt his jaw.
"You're punch couldn't even hurt the weakest apparition, this is getting pathetic," He laughed at her as he walk to her.
Arisa scrambled to get away from Ruon, but she was too slow, and she felt him break her ankle. Screaming, she felt it again. Fear. She didn't want to die, and that was new to her. Her shaking hands scrabbled around the floor, until her right palm hit a jagged fragment of rock, and she closed her hand around it. With a deep shuddering intake of breath, she heaved herself off of the floor, muttering something incoherent under her breath as she stepped on her ankle.
'O-Kay, not stepping on that again!' she thought as she lifted that foot slightly off the floor.
"Ya know, you're right Ruon, I deserve to die, why don't 'cha just do me the honors, I'm defiantly not one for pain. So please, do me one little favor, and just finish this fight," Arisa's watery voice called out to him.
"Now then, why would I ever want to do that??" Ruon asked as he cleaned his hands nonchalantly.
"Because, I'm no good in the fighting category at my present condition, and you want me dead," Arisa stated.
"Hm, well then, I shall do you the honor of dying at my hand," Ruon replied as he pulled out one more dagger, the most elaborate.(where does he keep them all?!?! O.o)
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN'?? IF YOU DIE, WE LOSE THIS FIGHT?!?!" Yuske yelled at her from the sidelines.
"Sorry..." she muttered, closing her fist ever tighter around the stone.
'This had better work...' she thought to herself grimly.
"Besides, you guys don't understand what it's like going on when all of your other family is dead.... Being the last of your family line... and knowing you'll just let them down! Besides... I'll see my parents again... Thank you, Ruon..." she replied, tears pouring out of her eyes, and her body shaking with sobs.
"Well, the ningen dies crying, how typical," Ruon replied as he walked up to her.
"Look up!" Ruon yelled as he used the dagger's tip to force Arisa's face up, and her tear filled eyes were swimming in tears.
"I'm going to see my parents..." Arisa muttered, but as Ruon made the movement to thrust the knife into her, her hand shot up instead, and Ruon stared blankly at her, the shard of rock that had pierced his heart.
"But I'm not going to be seeing them today," Arisa finished as she pulled her hand back from the shard, and Ruon collapsed to the ground.
"Uh... Ruon had no pulse.... Arisa Katakana is the winner!" the announcer called out.
Arisa walked over to Ruon's body, and she smiled slightly as she took his amulet necklace and the dagger he was going to stab her with.
"Thank you, Ruon, you taught me something valuable..." Arisa whispered to the dead ears, and then let the medics rush her off the field, and slowly... sleep claimed her.
That's it for this chapter, read and review! Tell me whatcha think! I'll even take flames!
