I know I know, my third chapter sucked mando. But I have nothing better to do. Exams are history and I think I failed the damn things. Oh well. I get a day off and I intend to use it well. Now I made this chapter into parts because I like the number 3 and i didn't exactly finishe the first part of this chapter, so, on with it...

-Aren't you going to introduce me?-

Oh yeah! He's new to the work, its...I forgot...

-ah, geez. I'm Sequal. Brand new to the force of demon ass kicking.

He is a mix tween yugi and the guy from Hikaru No Go. But anyway, on with the story, oui?

To be or not to be. To be or not to be. To be or not to be. To be or not to be...A ?

Shekiken sat up and looked out the window. She could have sworn she heard Malachai talking to her about her parents. Or was that a memory come to life by her new found feelings for Malachai? Shekiken then stood up from the booth she was laying in.

"G-damn it. What the hell? Malachai is the leader and I am not even close to his status to even lick his damn boots and wash his shirts.Son of a -"

'You want me to kill your parents, huh?That is very interesting.Issac had that idea and we were going to do it today,' a whisper said that sounded like Malachai.

"W-what?! This...This happened a year and a half ago...Get out of my head!" Shekiken yelled as she kicked the pinball machine to its side. Glass shattered everywhere and flew into shekikens face.

"DAMMIT!" she screamed as the glass cut open her face and melted into her skin. Shekiken fell to her knees and looked at her pants. "This isn't me," she whispered.

'What do you exactly want me to do to them? Slit their throats, cut out their lungs, their hearts?' the voice said again.

"No...Break their skulls to pieces with your knife.And then I want you to break every bone in my body..." Shekiken answered as she looked up through the blood and spotted her cast of dress in the corner or the diner.

'So it's not so much as a killing spree, but a suicide by red head? You are stupid.'

"What?" Shekiken gasped as she looked up to the ceiling. "How is that stupid?! Tell me!" Shekiken didn't even realize that she had stood up and was talking to a voice from her memory. Using the same answers she did a year and a half ago.

'Because, you want to die when there is not point to do so.Especially since the others would love to meet you and take you in as another guard.'

"What? A guard? What does that do? And what do you mean by another one? And who is the 'others'?" Shekiken asked as she picked up the rag of a dress from the floor.

The voice laughed low so as to not disturb the other adults in the diner. "The others are the children in the corn field. I am one of the guards, that keep them safe until they need to go. They will probably make you one since they are hardly around them with them knowing it.'

"Okay. But do any of the kids...I mean...do any of them...Will any of them have kids to repopulate you if the adults are gone?"

'I expect so.Many should since there are a few your age that are safe to do so. Why? Are you getting an idea about it?...'

"No...Just wondering.But then, I will leave you to it. And I will seek you out later..." Shekiken said as she turned on a faucet in the bathroom and squirted soap onto the dress. With in minutes, the dress was washed and hung out to dry.

"I must be loosing it...But I am not the same person I was when I wore that dress.After I had cast it away, I became a newer, weaker person. I won't stay that way. I will act as if it never happened. I will return as the guard Shekiken Boardman."

Soon, as Shekiken began to sew the holes in the dress, she heard people yelling outside. What it sounded like was her name being shouted by a few of the younger kids.She stood just inside the shadows and watched the kids walk around in the darkness of the street and call for her.

"Shekiken! Where are you?! Malachai is better now! You can come back!"

Shekiken realized that she had no time for the dress to dry.If Malachai was better like she said, she had to get dressed.She slipped into the bathroom and cast away the forbidden clothes of the men and put on the dress.

"That is better.I am going to be better with this life now.I won't take if for granted... and maybe I'll even please Shike with my clothes. And then I will never think of Malachai as anything more than the leader..." Shekiken said as she straightened out the dress.

The door to the diner opened and closed with no one shouting her name. Shekiken sat in the darkness and saw a dark figure walk to the booth that she was in and seemed to smell it.The person then looked in her direction and laughed.

"So you are the guard again, Shekiken." The person then stepped to her in the darkness and she could feel them smile at her. "Don't fear me, Shekiken. It is I, Sheikano!"

"Sheikano? What are you doing in here?" Shekiken asked as she reached out for the child, finding his hand.

"I was looking for you. We wanted to tell you that Malachai was better and that he was asking for you. He wanted to see you because...he wanted to...in his own words, 'See her beautiful face and be able to feel her pretty lips under my own.'"

Shekiken stared. She picked up her knife from the floor and hooked it onto the belt that she wore with her dress. "No," she said. "I will never go back to him. And neither will you. You and I will never go back to the way we were living."

"What are you talking about? Are you saying that youre going to live in the corn...with He Who Walks Behind The Rows?" Sheikano asked hopefully.

"If it comes to that. Now, we must make sure that they get the message," Shekiken said as she pulled out her knife and walked to the door. She stopped when she heard a shaky but confident voice.

"SHEKIKEN!" It yelled as it's owner dragged his feet. "It's me! You have to come back with us!"

"Malachai!" Sheikano hissed behind Shekiken. "Kimee said he couldn't look! Stricture must have helped him get here!"

"Then we have to leave...Shiekano?" she spun around and looked in to blue gray eyes.

"Go out to warn them, then..." the person in Sheikano's place said. "Or do I have to do it?"

"Shike...You...You are Sheikano..." she whispered.

"So you know now...Good. I no longer have to hide it. So...You were serious about becoming a guard again?" Shike said as he wrapped his arms around her neck and hissed.

"Yes. As Shekiken Boardman."

"SHEKIKEN!!!" Malachai yelled again and sounded like he fell.

Shike looked into Shekikens eyes as he hunched closer to the ground. "Finish him," he whispered as he dissappered into the darkness.

"Yes, I will."Shekiken then turned and walked out the door to the street that held Malachai.

As soon as Shekiken stepped into the street, children from all over the town ran to her. They cried happily when they saw her look at them all.Some of the girls then noticed that she was wearing the black dress and stepped away.

"All of you! Get away from Shekiken! Now!" they yelled.It wasn't until the children saw that she was taking out her knife that they ran from her. Unfortunately, one boy as old as her didn't leave.

In a short amount of time, Shekiken had pummeled her knife into the boy's heart.He cried in pain as he fell to the ground and stared up at her.

"Shekiken!" Malachai screamed as she saw him being helpped by Stricture. "Why did you do this?!"

Shekiken simply stood there staring at him, not saying a word to either him or the dieing boy. Then, she put her knife into her belt.

"Shekiken...No this can't have happened. Shekiken, you killed Rugen(Rouge-in)! You killed him, Shekiken..." Stricture yelled as he carried Malachai.

"No...that isn't Shekiken.It's Shekiken Boardman, the second guard of the corn..." Malachai whispered as he looked at Shekiken's dress.

"I didn't think you would remember this dress, Malachai," Shekiken laughed and looked at Rugen. "The girls did, I'll give them that much. After what you did to me, they wouldn't forget how I was. You ruined me, Malachai!"

"What? What is she talking about, Malachai?" Stricture asked as Malachai looked away from Shekiken. "Malachai?"

"I suprises me that you didn't tell your best friend about what you did to me, Malachai. But I told them," she said pointedly to the girls. "They understood what had happened when I came into my house and Kimee wanted to talk to me."

"Malachai...What did you do?!" Stricture growled as Shekiken looked at him in the eye and growled right back to him. "What did you do to her?!"

"You were right, Stricture. He was a pervert. And the girls knew that full well. He wanted to take me to the field to kill me after..." Shekiken began.

"Shekiken...I didn't mean to do that to you...Yes, I did it but so I could protect you from He Who Walks Behind The Rows. I killed your evil half!" Malachai said. Then he saw Shekiken turn into the old self that liked to kill.

Shekiken's hair turned dark and her eyes wild.She smiled after she bit her own mouth and blood drained from it onto her tounge. She began to laugh and wipped out her knife. She then ran after Malachai and slashed at his hair.

"I won't let you live to see what I do to these kids under His orders. Or will you fight me? You choose Malachai...Or undo the death of my real self!" Shekiken grinned and jumped away.

"You little bitch!" a voice said from behind everyone. Shekiken spun around and looked directally at Kimee. "How dare you hurt the person that let you live with us!"

"Well, Well. Kimee of all people. You came to rescue Malachai, didn't you? Yes, well, the guy can't be helped. Especially since I have resolved my problem of being incomplete. Do you not agree?" Shekiken asked as she crounched to the ground in defense and waited.

"You were a bitch the moment you came here. Having Malachai kill your parents instead of you doing it yourself. And you let him take you to the diner and take your life. Some guard you are," Kimee said without realizing it.

Shekiken looked away from everyone and said in a low voice,"I know. It was my fault that he took my other life...but that didn't mean I ever stopped having these damnable feelings for him!" Shekiken then stood normally and looked at the ground. She began to cry.

"What a weak person. Crying over something so small. Grow up," Kimee scowled and crossed her arms.

"I'll make sure you don't grow up, Kimee. Just let me retreat for now and I'll come back to kill you when I'm stronger!" Shekiken yelled.

"Shekiken...Don't leave again...I will fix your old half...Just come back with me and stay with me," Malachai said as he struggled to walk to her. "I had always loved-"

"NO! I willn't fall to your tricks!" Shekiken screamed. Then she pointed to Malachai and laughed. "Do...hehe...you actually think I'd allow myself to return to you? I think not. My weaker half might want you to take her in your arms but I won't ever allow it!Look again at your records, Malachai. You killed me. He brought me back. I made myself born again! If you want Shekiken more than Shekiken Boardman, you'll have to kill the latter."

"Shekiken...Damn it! I love you!" Malachai yelled and stood on his own.

"Huh!" Shekiken gasped and toppled to the sidewalk in fear.

To be or not to be. To be or not to be. To be or not to be. To be or not to be. A ?...
