The wind grew cold as Malachai stared at the others while Rachel preached. He wasn't really worried about anything at the moment, what with Shekiken being gone the past few days. Stricture had returned with Shekiken's body and was with her almost every waking moment. He was even taking care of her when he was supposed to sleep. He wouldn't let Malachai to go see her because he said that it was his fault that she was dead.

"Malachai? What's wrong?" Rachel asked bringing him back to reality and the end of the meeting. "You aren't thinking of her again, are you, Malachai?"

"No...I was just zoning out," Malachai lied and walked off into the corn. "No...I was thinking of you, Shekiken. I really don't see why you have to be gone...Why aren't you back yet?" he whispered at he walked back to town. When he got there, he went into the diner where he first saw her and leaned against the counter. "Come back someday...you little wimp."

Shekiken opened her eyes in the darkness and stared at the ceiling. She stared at the cracks and decided that being back was the best thing that could ever happen. She sat up and fell back down again. A force shoved her back down and held her there. "Don't get up. You're still hurt. Don't worry about anything around you," a whisper said to her.

Shekiken didn't let any of this sink in and tried to get back up, eventually being shoved back down, allowing the hands that held her down bruise her. "Let...me go. I want to see Malachai..."

"No," the voice said which was then connected to a face. Stricture stared at her with his bright green eyes and traced her cheeks with his fingers. "I won't let you go by him again. No. You were hurt because of him and I will never allow you to see him again," He whispered as he stared into her eyes.

"W-what? You can't...I have to see him," she cried and tried to get back up. When Stricture shoved her back down with ease, she cried out. "Please. Let me go. I need to see Malachai!"

"Nope. Ever since we came back, I didn't let him see you. He hurt you, he created your evil, and thus, he killed you. I don't intend to let him see you ever again. I will either take you away from him, or kill you."

"Malachai...Malachai! Help me..." Shekiken whispered as she let tears run down her face and fall onto her pillow, or at least what was left of it. "Malachai..."

"He won't hurt you anymore, Shekiken...I can be sure of that...," Stricture grinned as he took a knife from the bedside table and take it to his own hand. He then let it slice his own hand and wiped the blood on her forehead.

The blood then dripped down her face and landed into her hair. Her tears turned red when the blood stained them and she felt it fall onto her lips. She stared at the ceiling and imagined that Malachai was with her. That he was able to get past this spell and sit with her.

"Wait...You aren't Stricture!" she yelled when he had wiped the gash in his hand onto the bed in a circle around her. She sat srtaight up and punched at him in anger.

"You are smart...well what do you know. The girl can figure out if I'm the real thing...Shike always said that you were the one who would bring us to an end... But I'm sorry to tell you, sweet heart. This is all real. I am the real Stricture. What you knew was an illusion. And who you have feelings for doesn't exist...You love a demon..."

Shekiken then saw everything blurred. She saw a figure in dark clothes and deep red hair burst into the room and stared at her and the man claiming to be Stricture. He walked to the bed and stared down at her with dark black eyes.

"Sorte kon nota heroka jimgashee," he whispered and took Shekiken into his own arms, letting her head hang off his arm. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head. The red head laughed and let his fingers work their way into her hair. "She's definately what Shike said she would be...Well, even if he was here to see it, we wouldn't let him interfere...It's just too bad we had to destroy, him, eh?"

"Malachai will be looking for her. Or should I say your other being will be looking for her...This host isn't everything I wanted in a body, but I guess this is fine, huh?"

"M...malachai..." Shekiken said finally when she was able to see the face above her. She saw the one that supposedly killed her, and the one who supposedly liked her. The one she supposedly cared for. "You are..."

"I'm what, little one? A betrayer? A body theif? A look alike? A false love? Any of those, I will allow you to call me. But Malachai I will not tolerate. You see, I am not Malachai now. He is no more. But we really cannot allow you to let the others know, can we?" The look alike then held Shekikens head up so she would look at him. "Fall into darkness...Fall into a sleep that will pull at your heart...When you awaken...You will not remember anything of this..."

Suddenly Shekiken felt like she was falling. Darkness consumed her and laughing sounded in her ears. However, she couldn't tell who it was. She finally came to a stop and looked around her. Everything was dark but it was as if a light was there that she was able to see herself clearly.

Shekiken then saw him. She saw her one true friend in all of Gatlin. He bloody fallen angel. The one who had killed her parents for her. "Malachai...," she whispered as she reached out to the form who's back was to her. He simply looked over his shoulder at her and seemed to sigh as he saw her.

"Shekiken...You are back...You are finally alive again. I'm so glad. But it's very unfortuane that they destroyed Shiekano. But why are you here? Where is everyone else?" He asked as he turned around to face her.

"Oh...Malachai..."she cried as she walked to him and fell into his arms. She felt a warm sensation on her back as she figured out that Malachai was holding onto her. "I'm sorry...I can't beleive it...I missed you so much. How long...was I gone?" she asked as she buried her face into his button up shirt.

"You weren't long...You were gone for the past few days...But the nights are cold without you. Shekiken...I have to tell you...That...I am in love with Kimee," he whispered as he looked at her.

The darkness then changed around Shekiken. She saw around her the bowels of hell, where Shike used to reside. She saw the fleash looking walls and the maze like corridors, and on the wall over the throwns in the great hall, Shekiken saw him.

Shike was staring down at her with glazed eyes. His hands were nailed to the wall with great nails that you would see on ships. His neck was encircled by barbed wire that glowed, as if charged with electricity. His wrists where sliced into three flaps each, and his jaw was hanging below his face. His chest was bare and cut open, the skin and muscles nailed to the wall around him. His organs were a dark grey colour, as if they had been rotting for some time now. His heart was pulled out enough for it not to be completely dettached, and a huge chunk was missing, as if something took a bite out of it. His ribs were broken out ward, and his spine had been pulled through his stomache leaving a yellow green acid look to it. His legs looked like they had been chewed up, and his feel were the new holder of many of the knives the demons carried. Bloody tears ran down his face.

"Shike..." she whispered as she fell to the ground and looked up at him. "Shike...Shiekano...I can't beleive it...You have been completely destroyed...No..." She then held her face in her hands as she let tears of her own fall.

"I am not dead yet...," a voice sounded from Shikes direction. "So don't...start crying for me yet..."

Shekiken looked up past her tears and looked to the now smiling face of Shike. His tears still lined his face. "Shike..."

"Do...I really look that bad? Hehehe...When I saw you here, I thought...that I was dreaming...I thought...that you had died and had finally come here...on your own accord...Shekiken...I am...so glad to see you again..." Shike stared down at her and smiled.

Shekiken then stood up and ran that he wall he hung on. She then touched his bare feet covered in now coagulated blood and saw him look at her hands. "Shike...Will you live? Are you okay?"

"Don't worry too much about this...you silly human. All I ask is that when I get down, that you help repair me...," Shike said as he yanked his hand from the wall, a chunk of the wall coming with him. He reached down and tounched Shekikens face. " You're...so cold...What has happened?" he asked as he recoiled and freed his other hand.

Shike sat next to Shekiken as she looked at the ground. He ripped the barbed wire off his neck and held his hand to the blood. "Malachai and Stricture...They aren't who they used to be... Malachai...or the one posessing him sent me here. And the fake Stricture has promised that I'm never going to see the old Malachai again... And even he had forgotten me..."

Shike looked down at his feet as she said this and began to pull the knives out. "So you are here against your will...Not what we have here as a policy...Shit! Ah!" he yelled as a blade broke in his foot. "If they are there, then the real ones of your ...friends...are around the dark realm. Ah! I will...return with you to your world...The ones posessing those two...are not who they should be...They will destroy everyone..."

"What!" she cried and Shike took her hand. "They will come for us if they find out I'm not dead. I can fix my wounds only with blood given willingly by a mortal...Shekiken...there is no other way. I must have your blood to help you..." he said getting closer to her and grabbing her arms and drawing closer to her face.

"Huh!" Shekiken gasped as he made a small scratch on her face and licked the blood that fell. It wasn't alot of blood he took, but he became perfectly fine after that.

"That is all. I will be better in no time...But the only way that we can find the others here is if your life force is stronger than my own. Can you do that? All you have to do is fill your heart with hate." Shike then stood up and watched Shekiken as she grew angry. "Think of the betrayal by your so called friends...By Malachai... By everyone on the human plain that has ever betrayed you. Including me..."

Shekiken then emitted a black glow as she growled in hate. She then allowed the blood from her face drop to the floor and then it turned black and dissolved into her feet. "Where are they?" she hissed as she stared at Shike with red eyes. Shike smiled as she emitted a higher energy level of hatred and she plowed her way passed him and out of the great hall.

When she was gone, he laughed to himself, "Well, well. She might just prove to be useful after all. She gets so angry over what I've done to her. Well, I don't even intend to find her friends for her. She'll be here for a long time...if she trusts me the way she's been doing. Stupid girl. No wonder Malachai has disregarded her...Oh wait. No wonder my other self, has disregarded her..."

Yes, this chapter sux but get over it. Later! Hehehe
