Chapter 11: Meeting

Normal POV

"Kyo?"

"Oui...Kyo should make it challenging for you." Ash was carefully painting his nails as he said this.

"I...can't." Benimaru responded, clenching his fists tightly together, and closing his eyes.

"You've hurt everyone else, why not him?" Ash stopped painting his nails suddenly, looking at him.

"Those were people that I don't know. If I had remembered them, I would-"

"Exactly." Ash interrupted. "You don't remember...do you?" Ash put down his black nail polish, then got up, heading over to Benimaru, who was on the couch.

"Remember what?" Benimaru was suddenly alert.

"When Kyo beat you...he stole your spot light...he stole everything from you that day he won against you. Every drop of dignity you had left...and he became hero." Ash laughed. "Of course, every dog has his day, am I right?" Ash asked, sitting next to him on the couch.

"I guess..." Benimaru trailed off, feeling uncomfortable with Ash sitting beside him on the couch so closely. Ash smirked, then whispered in his ear.

"Good...because in a week... your day will finally come...to shine."

Benimaru's POV

How should I do this? How CAN I do this? He's my friend...but if what Ash said was true, then...he must be like my rival as well...if I couldn't beat him then, does that mean that I still can't beat him now? I don't even know how to use my lightning powers that well...much less win against someone who's had experience for a long time...with fire. All I know is that this one won't be so easy. I'm inside Ash's limo, looking out, and capturing most of the view in my mind while Ash is there with his legs crossed, sitting like someone with proper manners would, talking on the phone with Shen...That guy really gets on my nerves. Though, I have to thank him for hitting me on the head...in that case, I saw something that seemed to be part of a memory.

"...It seems I can get it for you...Oui...it's a deal. tchao(T: Bye), Shen-kun." The cell phone suddenly snapps shut, startling me. I look up. He seems to be studying me. He puts the cell phone down slowly. "Benimaru-kun...this will prove to me that you can be ready for what is going to come next..." Ash trailed off, laughing a bit. "I'm sure you're ready." He added, while a shadow cast his eyes.

"And just what are you in this?" I ask.

"Let's just say I'm...your answer to the questions you have. You do your work, and I'll grant you with bits and pieces of memory." The shadow still cast over his eyes as he said this, and an evil smirk played over his lips. I didn't say anything...because I've got nothing to prove him wrong...and it's my only hope.

Normal POV

"Benimaru? He couldn't have done that to him. He and Seth are like, old friends." Athena frowned.

"Well, that bastard did. I saw him, and besides, all that blood on his arms...he's lucky Seth even made it out alive." Vanessa replied coldly.

"Now that I think about it, Yuki said that Kyo hasn't seen Benimaru for a while now." Athena remembered. Vanessa looked out to the distance, noticing someone pull up, just outside.

"Let's call Kyo up-we're going to need some help-I have a bad feeling somethings bound to happen."

"Kyo, it was Athena. She wants us to meet her at the park. She says its urgent." Yuki got off the phone. Kyo knew what was coming...Ash...Ash had done something.

"Let's go, then. Which park?"

"The one with the big lake, it's-"

"I know which one it is. Come on!" Kyo stood up, and headed out quickly. "We'll pick up Shingo along the way." Kyo added, then they headed to the meeting place.

At the park...

"You say what?" Kyo asked, shocked.

"Benimaru, he did it."

"Wait a minute,hold up-you're saying that Seth is badly wounded by Benimaru?" Kyo repeated the news, while Vanessa sighed.

"Yes, he did. He just came by our headcourters, and attacked Seth when he was alone. I knew I shouldn't have left them alone." Vanessa thought regretfully, while Ramon looked at her with concern.

"Um, I'd hate to break it to you, baby, but ese tipo esta loco."(T: That dude is crazy.) Ramon replied, clearing his throat slightly.

"Huh?" The rest looked dumbfounded, especially Shingo.

"Loco? Crazy, you know?" Ramon added with a sheepish smile, looping his finger around the side of his head to indicate crazy. "Sorry, I forget I'm not in Mexico."

"Rright. So, what are we gonna do? Why DID he attack him?" Athena asked, putting her hand on her hips.

"I don't know...but the thing I do know is that Ash...that freak is behind all this." Kyo responded, looking at the sky. It was getting dark.

"Ash?" Everyone but Shingo, and Yuki questioned.

"You mean, ese que se miraba como jotito-err, I mean, that guy that looked like a gay dude?" Ramon quickly gave the translation.

"Yes, Ramon-san. It was him." Shingo replied, talking for the first time since they had gotten there.

"Hmm...I knew one of those crazy bastards had something to do with this." Vanessa responded, then looked at Ramon.

"We need to get to work on some investigations when we get back on his Ash person..."

"Oh, yes, whatever you like, Vanessa." Ramon wiggled his eybrows, smiling at her. Vanessa sighed.

"Right now is not the right time, Ramon."

"Hey, who's that walking there?" Yuki suddenly spoke up. Kyo's eyes widened. The blonde hair...

"No, that can't be..."
