Chapter 12 - Return of the Hitókiri During the Battle for Earth

Grey Wolf froze. She sensed a large KI level sink to near death. "No!" Grey Wolf started flying back, and saw Vejiita's bloody body on the ground. "VEJIITA!!!" She screamed, sensing a very small amount of life force coming from him. "NO!!!" Grey Wolf screamed in anger. Her hair color returned to normal, but her eyes turned to gold. "That's it, you bastard!!! I've had it! Your reign of terror ends today, Frieza!!! To protect Vejiita... I'll become a Hitókiri once again!" Grey Wolf drew the sword slung to her side.

"Well, well, well. What has gotten into you, Grey Wolf Himura?"

"That is not my name... My name..." Grey Wolf pulled off the band-aid which she always wore. When she pulled it off, it uncovered a slashmark across her cheek, causing Frieza to gasp. "...Is Hitókiri §hadow, otherwise known as the §hadowWolf."

"N-No... what have I gotten myself into?!" Frieza thought in his head.

§hadow could tell, because she then said, "So my reputation precedes me... even all the way to the warlord Frieza..."

"You... you're a monster! You're more of a monster than I am!" Frieza yelled in fear.

"...I may be strong... but I'm nothing like you! You kill for the fun of it! If there's any monster, it's you! Unlike you, I didn't kill people for myself... it was not for personal gain -but for the Tokugawa dynasty, and it's restoral- that we raised our swords and killed. If we forget that... we aren't Hitókiri at all... just murderers... just like you. Evil. Evil, which I will now vanquish, to uphold my life philosophy... Aku. Soku. Zan. Roughly translated... Kill evil instantly, not just my philosophy, but the philosophy of the entire Shinsengumi. So, for that purpose... I vanquish you today!"

"What the hell is going on down there?!" Kakarot yelled to King Kai.

"Frieza and Grey Wolf are fighting!" King Kai replied.

"No, she'll be killed! Please, let me go back and fight! I have to stop her!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible, Goku! Someone would have to give you their life force, and no one around here will do that!"

"I can accomodate..." Baba appeared. "Goku can be sent for one day to fight Frieza. It looks like Grey Wolf has things under control, though..."

"That doesn't matter! Just send me!" Goku yelled. He disappeared.

"Grey Wolf, §hadow, whoever you are, get out of there! You can't beat Frieza with a sword!" §hadow didn't listen to Vejiita's words.

"Come at me... if you want to die."

"You bitch!" Frieza yelled in anger. He flew at her, not knowing the danger he was putting himself into. §hadow jumped to his side, and using a powerful twist of the body, slashed his side open. This attack is known as the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Ryu Kan Sen.

He flew into a wall, blood gushing everywhere. Frieza slowly got up and started running at §hadow, blind with rage. She let her right hand let go of the sword and held it only with her left. Frieza tried to punch her face, so she ducked and hit him with the hilt right where the deep slash she had made before stopped, causing the wound to leak even more blood.

Frieza crumpled to the floor from this attack known as the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryu Hi-Ryu Sen. She raised her sword above him. "Grey Wolf, you bitch... your father is still alive... he never was killed... and my men found him... and are holding him. However... they have readings on my life force, and at the indication that I'm dead, they'll start the negative ventilation system full of toxic gas in his holding cell... causing him to die a very painful death!" Frieza yelled.

"Haha... hahaha... hahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"What the hell... is so funny??"

"Your stupidity! I'll just make sure you remain alive until the Battosai is safe! And that won't be for long!" §hadow said with a dark grin across her face.

"No! I won't tell you anything-" Within those words, §hadow had grabbed Frieza's arms and, with her foot up against his back, started dislocating them.

"Now... will you talk Frieza?"

"Never-AGH!!!" said Frieza as more pressure was applied by §hadow.

"I know you know where that bastard is, now tell me!!!" After §hadow said this, a surpized expression dawned on Frieza's face.

"You... you want to kill him too... AHH!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! I'LL TELL YOU!!!" screamed Frieza. The pressure was released by §hadow, and Frieza crumpled to the floor. "H-he's... at the spaceship... the third floor, room 384..." He said, blood coming from his mouth.

Chapter 13 - Battosai and §hadow - The Meeting of the Hitókiri

§hadow picked him up and started flying to the ship. She quickly did away with most of the guards, and was almost at room 384 until King Cold walked out of the holding cell.

"King Cold. I should have known. Move, or... well, you can tell from Freezer here..."

"First off, he's not a cooler, second off, I won't go down as easily as him."

"Your death... I'm sorry, King Cold..."

"Why?"

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to kill you quickly and not very painfully, since I'm pressed for time... consider yourself lucky." §hadow teleported behind King Cold and held her sword up to his neck. "You're going to die now... Good bye, King Cold, and may you never be called that again... as you eternally burn in hell." With one quick swipe, King Cold's head came clear off, falling to the floor. His body soon followed, landing with a thud.

§hadow then pulled Frieza and slammed him against the wall, right next to a combination keypad on the wall. "Combination!" She yelled, and he quickly punched it in out of fear. The door slid open.

"Battosai? Are you there?" §hadow asked as she started walking in.

"Grey Wolf... Is that you?" A voice called out. A man stepped out from the shadows, with hair like §hadow's hair, but a bright red instead of a dark black. Also, his eyes were blue instead of brown or gold, and his name was Kenshin Himura. However, he did look like a girl(HAHAHA!!!!!! Sorry, Kenshin, couldn't help it :Þ).

"Battosai..." Grey Wolf whispered. She had returned to normal. It occured to Frieza how strange it was that the two didn't even hug or anything, and how even him and his own father cared about each other, but there seemed to be a different relationship between these two... somehow, similar to hatred. Frieza could feel it in the air, these two weren't exactly happy to see each other. Frieza wondered, would there be yet another deathmatch, played out in front of his very eyes?

"...Now... you didn't think I'd let someone else kill you, did you?"

"I didn't." At Kenshin's words, Frieza's mind stirred. Didn't the Battosai always refer to himself as 'this one', and not 'I'?

"Well... it seems you two have a lot to catch up on, now I'll be leaving..." Frieza headed for the door, but Grey Wolf teleported in front of him.

"Actually, since our business is finished, I'm now free to kill you as I please. Goodbye, Frieza." Grey Wolf drew her sword, and Frieza backed into a wall. She started walking to him, but Kenshin walked in front of her.

"This doesn't need to happen! Spare him!"

"Move, Battosai!"

"I refuse! Give him a second chance! Everyone has at least a little good in them!"

"Battosai..." Grey Wolf looked at Kenshin angrily. She slowly lowered her sword. "You're lucky Frieza... that Vejiita needs immediate help. Otherwise, you'd be dead where you stand." She and Kenshin quickly flew to where Vejiita was. She pulled the hilt of her sword off, revealing a blue liquid, which she poured into Vejiita's mouth. He swallowed, and was able to sit up.

"That'll replenish a bit of your KI, but you need a doctor soon..." Grey Wolf said, helping Vejiita sit up. He stopped her and got to his feet.

"So, is Frieza dead?"

"...No. We decided to come here to make sure you were alright first."

"Oh, ok." Vejiita said.

A shot rang out. With a soft thud, Vejiita fell to the floor, clutching a wound on his heart.
