A/N: Alright now I'm making the official saying right here and now. THERE WILL BE A SEQUEL TO THIS! I already wrote the first chapter and claimed my REALLY awesome title and everything. The first chapter by itself will have you begging for more I swear it! So I think I'm going to put a very visual preview of the sequel at the end of the chapter because I like to torture like that as all of you by now know.
Disclaimer: I don't own HIM and I especially have to say that this chapter because I'm using their lyrics and I don't own YYH, yeah I don't own any of it so… yep.
Chapter 35: Optimism killing reality
"Shi where are you going to even start to search for Leleel?" Yusuke asked. Shi stood out in the day sun letting her Henki's fly around her giving her an extra boost of energy she knew as well as make sure it was really her.
She was now dressed in a pair of her black pants brought from the temple but the same loose white button up shirt they had given her what had to be the day before.
"She's my sister, she can't be that hard to find."
"And your power?" Hiei brought up. "You can't fight the ruler of all light demons with no energy or power you have no control over."
"Quit being so pessimistic Hiei have confidence in me. I'll die happy as long as she knows just one thing."
"And that is?" Kurama asked.
She smirked in a way only she could do, her blue eyes glittering brightly as the sun hit them perfectly. "I can't tell you, you just wouldn't understand." With that said her Henki's obeyed her mental command bringing them as her wings and lifting her off her feet into the air with much grace.
The four decided to follow her, "isn't that just like Shi, always has to make a scene." Yusuke said with a slight chuckle.

'Now where are you Leleel?' She looked around the city she knew so well but found not a sight nor a energy trace in range.
'Wait… maybe.' An idea came to mind, a battle always had to be in its original place that meant the even closer place of where it all started would be at the cathedral.
It wasn't hard to find, facing in the dead north standing taller then all the other buildings it was impossible to miss with its stained glass windows of saints and other important people in religion depicted clearly on the glass.
And that's where she found her.
Standing with a smirk on her face on the indention of the high roof where the glass ended she watched Shi come in closer readying herself though still slightly confused.
"So it's true." She said loud enough to cut threw the wind for Shi to hear. "The procedure did not work as well as I would have hoped… the first time that is."
Shi stopped hovering before her, ignoring all the people below her. "It seems you have gained father's strength to, seeing as you were able to get out and have the sense to know where I would be."
"Leleel we have to talk."
"I do not wish to talk." She interjected with a smile on her face. "You have gotten out of my pain once but I assure you, you will not again."
Just then gold needles such as the ones Shi's black ones shot forth from no where with amazing speed sending a whistling sound threw the air, as much as she tried to dodge them a uncountable number of them lacerated her skin, the shock of the sudden attack caused her to loose control to fall slightly to the ground.
Despite how much she didn't want to attack her own flesh and blood if Leleel wanted to hurt her then she needed her own defense, it was only a matter of defense.
Though before she could shoot her black razor sharp blades of energy out Leleel took flight with speed unmatchable to her. "Come sister, attack me, I dare you." She challenged.
"But if you do I will hold back nothing from you." Shi knew now this was just how it had to be.
Like so many fictional stories she had read in her school about someone going against their older sibling in whatever way it was it almost always turned out the same way, the older sibling won, that could not happen now.
She nodded and shot off her attack though Leleel dodged every one of her attacks with grace like she was reading her very thoughts knowing where everything would be going at every moment.
Leleel's gold whip shot forth before she could think to dodge or even counter with something, it gripped her tightly on the arm burning her flesh and sending her plummeting down to the cement below.
She hit it hard, breaking the large cement slabs before the cathedral all around her though the pain didn't show on her and made not a difference in her physical state.
People starred all around scared, baffled, and mystified by what was going on around them that seemed like something unrealistic, at least they were not the ones having to fight in this one on one war.
Shi shot up into the air spotting her sister soaring off with a glint of evil in her eye. A low growl was emitted from her throat and she shot after her, it was defiantly on, doubting her strength for a moment.
She knew halfway though that she didn't hold a chance of wining this battle.
They ended up at the park, behind locked gates, it seemed someone had already come and locked the gates from the public; it was only them now. Everyone else could only stare in amazement and confusion, waiting to see what the outcome would be from these beings that resembled angels.
"It's just you and me now, only one of us will leave here." Leleel stated.
"I know that."
"Back down now as it's your only chance at survival, I have failed in gaining what I wanted so much and now you hold no use to me."
This was a suicidal move but it was one that needed to be done, if not then… then who knew what would become of the two of them. "I won't." Leleel rolled her eyes, "you're stubborn, but have it your way."
The whip came out again but expecting her to do that Shi was able to bring up a shield to block it, then when the whip was repelled fully it changed into her blades to shoot out.
Only a few this time cut her sister, though they seemed deeper and more painful then hers were she showed little to know signs of pain.
Anger came from Leleel's body, this shouldn't happen, it was taking to much time. Shi shouldn't have been this strong in this little time. Something had to be done now and the only thing she could resort on was her last resort… Topai and the others would have to forgive her for having to do this.
Matching gold blades shot out but this time when they reached Shi they transformed into locks, they sealed her wrists, ankles, forearms, and knees pulling her towards the ground.
They were easy enough to brake she could tell, but a split second before she could attempt such a maneuver Leleel teleported herself in front of her body now being forced down upon her knees.
The thing that surprised her the most happened then.
When she looked up she found herself looking one eye down the barrel of a .22 pistol, the other eye at her stone solid face. "Human weapons are forbidden to us, though I am willing now to use one to bring you to your death."
Tears escaped Shi's eyes knowing she was done, she had lost, this was one of those stories where the older sibling won but unlike them there would not be a cute ending where the little sibling swears to beat them next time.
"Leleel please you can't do this." She begged. "And why can't I?"
"Because." Her finger tightened on the trigger though Shi was to scarred and to emotional right now to flinch.
"I'm killing myself for you."

I can't see your sad face in your pitiful lives
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up for us and you know it as well as I do
And I can't see threw your eyes
Bring your tears on me
I will lift the burden from your shoulders to lose the burden
I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up for us and you know it as well as I do
Oh as well as I do
As well as I do
Just as well as I do
So I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up for us and you know it as well as I do
So you've come from above
And you say you are to
And I killed myself for your love
I'm killing myself for you
Yes you are
And I can't see your sad face
Your pitiful lives
Don't have the strength to carry your heavy load of life
I'm your Christ to die on you
I just woke up for us and you know it as well as I do
Oh yes you do, my darling
Oh, my love
A/N: So there it is! If your good at details and you remember Leleel always had that premonition where she heard someone saying 'I'm killing myself for you' I tried to give so many details to say that Shi was going to be the one saying it but no one got it. Well not you see that and I hope everyone liked it! Oh and that was the song I pulled those lyics from, it's called Sigillium Diaboli written by HIM (sorry if the lyrics are messed up though) I was listening to it and got the idea literally like 15 chapters back! If you actually listen to it or read it right I think you can see how I inquired it with the story. Did I do good for once!
Preview that I promised:
Quietly she walked into the silent room, it was a round room with every wall being carved out as archway windows, a black slick table sat in the middle, half was consumed with shadow energy she knew oh so well but it was one demon that she locked eyes on.
Juhani, the ruler of the shadow demons.
"A war has brought me here."
