Well...I guess I can talk all I want and no one will hear. Hm. Aw well. Well, everyone is back, but Im currently looking for Shinga and Shekiken, still. But since I won't waste your time with this, Ill get on with the fic, okay? Right.

Shekiken looked at Malachai in horror after what he had just said. In her mind, she was running through everything that happened. She realized that she was going against the prophecy...that the girl with two faces, had to stay alone or in consequence of death...

"Damn you, Malachai..." Shekiken muttered as she sat on the sidewalk and her hair in her face. "You make me go against the prophecy Issac assembled when I came here. At least that was thanks to Sara and Job. Ha...You wanted me to go against it to kill my other half...Didn't work, did it?" Shekiken laughed.

"Do you honestly think that we would consider you other half gone!" Malachai yelled as he stared at Shekiken. "I did that so it would be withheld!This is exactly why I haven't been too...That's why I haven't told you that I still liked you since then so you wouldn't die. I would think you would thank me..."

Shekiken stood and leaned against the wall of the diner. She began to laugh and swipe the air with her knife. She then stabbed the knife into her arm. Blood bubbled onto the surface of her skin and slid down the side.

"Shekiken, don't!" Kimee said suddenly even after she just got finished yelling at her. She then took a step to Shekiken and put out her hand. Shekiken simply laughed harder and stabbed into her arm harder, making blood spill on the sidewalk and make a puddle at her feet.

"She's not Shekiken! It's Shekiken Boardman, damn it!" Malachai yelled.

Just then, Shekiken stabbed her side with her already bloody knife. Her skin peeled itself off her bone and hung from the muscles. Shekiken was laughing hysterically by now and kept stabbing herself in different places like her leg and stomach.

She didn't stop until she began to sway in a pool of blood that had a 5 foot diameter. She then fell to her knees and stared to the sky. "Let the prophecy be cast down onto me...I am fully aware that I didn't stay by it and I await the penalty..." Shekiken said mellowly and shivered.

"'Then step into the corn, Shekiken Boardman,'" a strong voice said from the sky. "'Or should I come get you? Your choice, my beauty.'"

Shekiken stood and looked at Malachai. "I will forever be out of your life. Your weak Shekiken will return sometime after I leave this world. I know when I'm not wanted in this town...That is why I let you kill me...That is why you made Shekiken wear those pants...so you weren't tempted to find out if I was back to kill me again..." she began to walk to the cornfield.

"Shekiken Boardman, wait..." Stricture said suddenly letting go of Malachai...who fell on the street and swore loudly. "I...want to come with you. I was to protect you and for that, this is just as much my fault. I fell in love with you through this entire year and a half and I don't regret that I did. Even if you were with Malachai for a time. I care for you more than anyone else in Gatlin..."

"Sticture, you don't have to do this...you don't have to go with her...She said that the other Shekiken will come back...and she will die." Kimee went to Stricture instead and reached to him.

"Shut up, Kimee. I will never leave Shekiken...She's my friend..." Stricture said as he followed Shekiken into the corn.

"Stricture, No!" Kimee yelled as they dissappered. "Stricture...You idiot!" she screamed and dropped to her knees.

"Let's go home...Jin-su. Help me. And grab Rougen. We have no place here any longer. Come, Kimee..."Malachai said struggleing to get up. When he did, he left the town and went back to his house.

In bed that night, Malachai though of what Shekiken had said...That she went against the profecy and was going to the fields to die...

"Shekiken... Come back soon. Or I'll kill Shike to get you..." he whispered and turned on his side to look out the window.

Silence loomed in the darkness. Not even the bats outside town were flying around. Fog closed in on the house of the children and attemted to come in. The stars twinkled silently.

Wind shattered the quiet, suddenly, rustling the corn stalks in the night. Somewhere, in there, there was a dieing girl being held by a healthful boy that was too stubborn to let her go.More so down the line, a boy in black with hair combed into his face was making his way to them to take the girls life.

Silence then came back over the field as the girl whimmpered to death and taken to hell. The boy cried but not loud enough to break the silence. The boy in black let him live and take the empty, soulless girls body back to the house.

"She will return soon...As soon as I let her...after I'm done being with the beauty," The boy in black said to his as he left. "And Stricture, you don't have to worry...I herby end the profecy...Of Shekiken Boardman..."

" June can be the loneliest month...

Depending on the way you are...

Jump into the sea of blue...

And die through suffocation..."

The song of her childhood raced and replayed itself over and over in Shekiken's head. She realized that she didn't really want to get up and stayed where she was. A cold hand, however, was brushing her forehead and humming to the tune she heard in her head.

"Dead or die...

Depends how you are...

Sigh and cry...

To his voice in your ear..."

"Shekiken...You know where you are, don't you?" the voice of Shike asked as she began to awaken from her unconsiousness.

"Shike? where am I ...Where's Malachai? Is he here with me?" Shekiken asked asw she opened her eyes.

Suddenly, Shekiken screamed at what she saw above her. Four or five UGLYbeings stared at her. But from their midsts was a gentle face of Shike smiing at her. "You...Shekiken...Are in Hell..." Shike whispered and planted his lips on Shekikens to make her stop screaming.
