Back on earth
"He's gone." Lance said. Burying his face in his hands.
"I just want to see him again." Lance said a tear falling down his face.
"Really?" A voice said.
Lance opened his eyes and saw he was no longer in his room, but in a abyss of blackness.
"That can be arranged…."
A another week had passed since the incident on earth. It was pretty much a complete blur to me, but the only thing I mainly remember was how I hurt Lance.
" Oh Lance." I said, looking at the river and throwing a stone into the water.
"I never meant to hurt you." I said, shaking my head.
I stood up and looked at my watch. It was six o' clock.
"I should be getting home." I said throwing on my hood.
I took the long way, since it was warmer one. It was the one that led through the under pass and into the busy streets and around the block to our apartment.
"I stood in the under pass, the snow beginning to fall. Also, not only snow, but a soft rain.
I sighed and sank down onto the ground.
"To bad I left my phone." I said, thinking about the desk.
"And Juubei is working late." I said pouting.
The snow was turning into freezing rain.
"This was bad." I thought. I had heard on the news that said there would be freezing rain.
I closed my eyes and buried it in my knees.
"How long will I be here?" I thought
A drip fell on my head.
I looked up and saw that there was a giant crack that was dripping some water.
I sighed and looked around. All over there were cracks.
"Now what?" I said angry and frustrating.
I had hurt Lance, Shido was acting very distant, Kazuki was always "busy" and Juubei was always away!
I buried my head in my knees once again.
The dripping was done.
I looked up and saw a black umbrella over me.
"Shido?" I asked.
"Juubei?" I asked again.
"Nope, but I know a Shido." The man said, smiling. He had an Australian accent that was deep….and very intriguing.
This person I had never seen before. He had bangs that were pure midnight black and the back hair was pure white. He had a strong jaw and blue eyes that were piercing. He wore a black shirt. He wore also black jeans and red and white shoes. Something….something was different about him. Something that reminded me of Juubei, and Shido together.
On his left wrist, was a bracelet that was made of pure silver. It had a strange design and characters on it, something I have never seen before.
"Who are you?" I asked standing up.
"I'm Kyo, Kyo Shiru." He said, sticking out his hand.
"Nice to met you." I said taking his hand.
The tingling came back.
I pulled my hand back.
"You….you have a power?" I said.
"Why yes." He said smiling.
"Let me demonstrate it for you." He asked, sticking out his hand in a greeting type of way.
I took it graciously.
Instantly, he swung me over his shoulders.
"whoa!" I yelled as my body pressed against his back. My hands wrapped around his shoulders. He had a smell, a smell of animals, cologne and foreigness.
"Where would you like to go, my highness?" He said looking back at me.
I blushed.
"(Touzoku told Kyo the address)"
"Ok then, my king." He said.
"Hundred beast semblance, Tiger semblance." He said.
"What?" I yelled.
It was all a rush as Kyo ran down the street with intense speed.
Within seconds we were standing at the stoop of the apartment, the rain, hardly touching me.
"You….you can use semblances?" I asked as I slid off his back.
"Yes siry mate." He said smiling, taking out his umbrella once more and putting it over me.
"But them that means…" I said thinking.
"Have a god day mate." He said.
He whispered a sentence under his breath, and then he pounced in the air, over the roof.
"Strange." I said walking inside.
I walked upstairs and fished out my keys and put them in the door. I opened and walked in, taking off my jacket.
"Hey." I heard I voice say from the window.
I turned around and saw Juubei in an apron.
I laughed.
"What's so funny?" He said, cocking his head to the side.
"Nothing…." I said laughing.
"What?" He said walking over to me standing inches from me.
I couldn't say "nothing" without stopping to laugh.
"I guess I'll have to get it out of you." He said, grabbing me by the waist and throwing me on the couch.
"No stop!" I said laughing a she tickled me in my side.
"Not till you tell me what is so funny." He said, smiling.
We continued this for about five minutes until the food started to burn.
Juubei got up and ran over to the stove and started tending to the food.
Ten minutes later we add a dinner of rice balls, fish, soup, and stewed leeks. It had to be Juubei's best meal.
"I made what I like." He said, shrugging his shoulders.
I giggled again.
After dinner we took a walk down the street. It had stopped raining and it was nice outside. It was cold, but there was a eerie mist that danced at the tips of its toes.
"Nice night." He said, as we came up to the apartment and sat on the stoop. He leaned against the rail, allowing me to lean my head against his chest.
"Yeah." I said, brushing a bang out of my hair.
Silence.
"I love you." He said, looking at me sternly.
"I love you too." I said, closing my eyes and moving closer.
Our lips were less than a quarter of an inch apart, when I opened my eyes. A memory had come back.
I grabbed my head in pain. This memory, this memory was a painful one.
"Touzoku..." Juubei said, looking at me. A hot and cold sweat was brewing all over my body.
"Shido….Shido I'm sorry." I said deliriously.
"Touzoku!" I heard Juubei say before I fainted.
I woke up the next day, it being 9:00. I grabbed my head. It didn't hurt, it was just sore. Once again, almost automaticly, I reached over and felt a note there.
I smiled and opened it.
Touzoku
This is turning into Dejavu aint it?
Well, I'm off back at the Limitless Fortress. Fighting is getting worse. I might be here for about a day or so. Don't wait up for me and make what ever you want! I really will miss your cooking (Sakura cant cook worth anything!). I hope you get better soon.
Juubei
I smiled.
"Do what ever I want huh?" I said, thinking about anything.
"Drawing." I said, thinking of my notebook I left on my desk.
"I need a notebook." I said standing up and getting a small breakfast of fruit and milk.
I put on some clothes. Nothing special, just some jeans, a orange shirt with dual dragons on it, and so gray and red non lace shoes.
"Ready." I said, taking my keys and turning off the light.
About a week ago, I saw a drawing store on the way to the Honky Tonk. It was about five minutes from the house, so I cold easily go back if it started to rain again, or something.
I walked up to the store, and looked at what they had on the outside shelves. They had some books and other drawing things on sale. Hopefully I could fine a discount sketchbook.
"So you like to draw to, eh mate?" I familiar voice said.
I turned around and saw Kyo standing there.
"Oh!" I said, surprised.
Kyo stood there, wearing a completely new outfit. He wore a purple color shirt that was slightly hidden by a white jacket. He wore blue jeans and the same shoes as before. He also, had on a pair of thin clear glasses.
"Kyo!" I yelled.
"Good day mate." He said smiling.
"Oh I never got to thank you for yesterday." I said sticking out my hand.
"I don't want a handshake, that's so formal mate." He said, slapping my hand.
I cocked my head.
"So how can I repay you?" I said, curious.
You all know what's coming…..
"A date." He said, smiling.
"WHAT!" I yelled. Everyone around me looked at me strangely.
He nodded.
"Yep." He said.
"But…I'm….but….." I said.
"You mean that guy, the guy with the needles?" He said, his smile gone.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"The beasts see all." He said smiling again.
"Umm…." I said. Kyo was a cool guy, any girl (or guy) would like him, but I was already dating someone and I only knew him for a day.
"Oh come on." He said, stopping down to my five foot six.
"No one will know." He said.
"WAY to much like a manga." I thought.
"What did he think, I was stupid?" I thought again.
I shook my head.
"Nope!" I said again.
"I'm already dating someone, Kyo. You're a really nice guy and all, but I'm sure you can find someone else." I said, looking up at him.
His expression was unclear for a moment, then he smiled.
"Yeah, your right." He said rubbing the back of his head.
"How could I suspect that someone with so much intelligence wouldn't know the outcome of this idea?" he said laughing.
"Friends?" He said, sticking out his hand.
"Friends!" I said happily.
"So would you like to hang out?" The man said a deep accent on the word "out".
"Sure." I said, looking at the discount rack, there weren't any sketchbooks there for sale.
"Where do you want to go?" I asked, walking with him, shifting the weight of the bag I carried.
"Here let me take that." Kyo said. Without waiting for an answer, he took the bag from my shoulders and swung it over his shoulder.
"Thanks." I said, rubbing my shoulder.
"Where would I like to go? Hmmmm how bout the park?" He said, looking at me for approval.
"Sure!" I said smiling. The park was a nice place to hang out.
We walked for about a minute until Kyo stopped.
"What are we stopping for?" I asked, blinking.
"The park im taking you to is pretty far away, about a twenty minute drive." He said, shrugging his shoulders.
"Wow! Then that would be about…." I said, tapping my chin thinking.
Kyo laughed.
"A long walk." He said, putting on a helmet.
"You take this one." He said, handing me a blue helmet with a lightning streak down each side.
"You have a motorcycle?" I asked, looking at red and black cycle. It had a Japanese symbol that read "Wild Animal".
"Yep." He said, swinging his leg over and putting his key in.
"You gonna get on?" He said. Though you couldn't see his mouth, I could tell from his eyes he was laughing. Or smiling.
"Ummm….sure…" I said as placed my helmet on and getting on the cycle. He looked back at me, nodded his head, and turned the key.
The cycle rumbled, then took off down the road.
We drived in silence for five or ten minutes. Then, Kyo made the first sound.
"So who are you dating?" Kyo asked through the headset.
"Juubei….Juubei Kakei." I said, though my headset, adjusting the microphone.
"And that is?" Kyo said, taking a sharp left turn.
"He is a master of the Kakei school needle technique." I said closing my eyes.
"Ahh I've head of that before. A very sacred and powerful art. Would like to see those needles in battle." He said, quietly.
We drove quietly for another few minutes. We took another turn, can came to a park, a large park.
"Woah!" I said, getting off the motorcycle.
The park was a giant plain of green grass, with tree's and small plants all around. About one thousand feet from the walkway, was a large clear pond, with a few ducks sitting on it.
"You like it?" Kyo said, opening the gate to let me in.
"Its amazing!" I said, turning into a chibi form and walking around.
He laughed.
"My father owns this property. I'm allowed to do whatever I want with it. So I decided to keep it as a private park." Kyo said, the wind blowing and tossing his white hair in a fury.
"This is so cool!" I said, smiling twirling with the air.
"How can you own such an amazing place?" I said, already knowing the answer.
"You a strange child." Kyo said, chuckling.
I blinked.
"Its to bad…" He said looking up at me, his eyes that are pleading for help.
"To bad what?" I said.
"To bad I have to kill you." He said, looking up at me.
"Wha…What?" I said, taking a step backwards.
"Unless….unless you can run away in time…." He said, clutching his left wrist that held the bracelet. The jewel inside glowed an eerie purple color and black. The light began to engulf him in a orb of darkness.
"Kyo!" I yelled, running towards him. I jumped forward, but I struck the barrier, and was thrown back.
The light then disappeared and there stood Kyo.
"Ky….Kyo?" I said standing up.
"Ru…run…" He stuttered as his left hand turned into a claw.
"Run!" I yelled as he jumped forward with amazing speed, his claw bore.
With equivalent speed, I pulled out one of the needles and used it as a defense. But, his claws slashed at my hand, deflecting the needle out of my hand.
I jumped back, grabbing my wrist.
"What got into him?" I thought. I then looked down, and saw that the bracelet was no longer there, but it was now an etched design on his skin.
"That bracelet is controlling you." I whispered as he jumped forward, his fist bared.
"Kakei School Technique, Metallic Puncture!" I yelled, piercing my arms.
In a split second, my forearms turned into metal, making it so his powerful fist, just pushed me backwards.
"Hundred Beast Semblance; Cheetah Semblance!" He yelled, jumping backwards and this running in a circle around me.
My eyes weren't swift enough to keep up with his image.
My eyes darted from left to right, looking at him. As I blinked, his image disappeared.
"Where is he?" I said, looking around.
"Above you!" He yelled. I looked up, and was quick enough jump to the side, but the explosion from the ground and the kick, sent earth flying everywhere, chuck slashing my arms.
I flipped in the air, trying to land on his hands, and push off, but my left arm was in to much pain, and I just fell to the ground.
"This is over for you; foreign boy." The evil Kyo said.
I tried to stand up, but my energy was low.
Kyo took another step, and grabbed his head in pain.
"Run…run away!" He yelled, his voice, not as deep and evil.
"What?" I said, having the energy to stand up.
"Run away!" He yelled. He came charging forward, his fist strong and powerful and his arms pulled back.
My eyes widened. I was to weak to do the Metallic Puncture technique, so this attack would be my last.
"I closed my eyes and was ready for the blow, when the only sound was the sound of squeezing skin.
Slowly, I opened my eyes, and looked. Standing in front of me, was Shido, wearing a headband that was green and had a yin-yang symbol.
Kyo jumped back, both him and Shido facing one another.
"Long time no see, Kyo Shiru." Shido said.
"Shido Fuyuki." Kyo said, with a glare in his eyes.
"Stand back, Touzoku." Shido said, sticking out his hand.
It was like before, in the alley way. The same memory seemed to be reoccurring.
"Who…who is that?" I said, nursing my wounds.
"The other last survivor of the Mariuku tribe." Shido said.
My eyes widened.
"The…the last survivor? Wasn't Shido the last one…" I thought
"How long has it been? Five years?" Shido said.
"Must have been. I really don't care, I'm just here to kill." He said, taking a step forward.
"Well here to defend." Shido said, taking a step.
They both stood looking at one another. From somewhere, a single rose petal twisted in the air, dancing. Then, the petal touched the ground, and both men disappeared.
For the next minute or so, split images of the two clashing were seen all over the place. Some where Shiod slashing and Kyo defending, while others were Kyo punching and Shido dodging.
Through this minute I was able to use my healing abilities to recover.
After the minute, both men returned to there positions. Shido's right sleeve and vest had been ripped off, and he had a gash in his leg, while Kyo, his white jacket was off, his shirt was only halve on, and small cuts were all over his chest.
Who had the worst wear, I don't know.
"You trained well after I left." Shido said, panting.
"Please! You not the best person in our klan!" Kyo yelled.
"Oh really? Well you seem not to be able to beat me…So I must be better than you." Bragging.
"You are sadly mistaken Shido, because now. I will pull out my last technique." Kyo said.
Shido made a "pshh" sound.
"Probobly just some fancy control over animals" He said, smirking.
"Hundred Beast Summon; Elephant Hoard!" Kyo yelled above the beganing to roar wind.
There was a brilliant flash of green light, and out of no where, glistening green elephants came charging towards the two.
Without thinking, Shido grabbed me and jumped high in the air.
He flipped high, and kicked the air. Somehow, he used some form of magic that threw his forward, landing five feet or so from where the elephants would have hit.
"What was that?" I said as he put me down.
"I didn't think anyone could learn that technique….." Shido said, his eyes wide.
"What's so special about it? It is a strong technique right? But it must take a lot of his energy…" I said to myself.
Shido shook his head.
"That is the secret of the Final Technique." He said, shakking his head.
"Three things make this technique amazing…. One: The technique does that take human energy away. It feeds off of the energy of other animals. Two: The technique can be used simultaneously with other techniques, such as taking an animal trait, or controlling and animal, and three: the technique is unblock able, only dodge able." Shido said, with a glare.
"That's right…." Kyo said, taking a step forward.
"And now I'll kill you, both of, you…with this technique." Kyo said, raising his hand once more.
"No!" I yelled, sanding up.
"It doesn't have to be like this." I said, calming down.
"I know you, Kyo…the old Kyo the kinda and generous one….go back to that way….that Kyo….the Kyo who helped me in the rain." I said, struggling.
"That….that…Kyo I gone…" He said, energy in the air building. If he preformed this attack, we would both die. Even if Shido could dodge it…I know we would die.
"Please….Kyo…." I said, giving a faint smile.
He looked at me and blinked, is eyes returning to his tranquil way.
"Touzoku…" He said, giving a smile back.
"You two…get out of here…" He said, cluching his head.
"I cant hold this side back much longer…..get away while you still can…" he said, as the animals began to run. This attack must really be a powerful attack.
Shido nodded.
"Lets go." He said, whistling.
"What?' I said as instantly a golden lion came running down the pass.
"You heard him, this is his wish. You want him to be happy don't you?" Shido said coldly as he sat on the lions back.
The lion became restless.
I waited, looked back and nodded.
"I'll be fine.." He said, a cold sweat all over his face as he grabbed his head again.
I nodded and got on the lions back and we ran off.
We were out of the premise of the park, no more than 50 feet away, when I felt a felling of something, like a pain from the earth.
"You felt it too." Shido said not looking at me.
I didn't want to ask.
We sat in silence for minutes, just the wind passing us by.
By the time we reached the Honky Tonk again, I felt like…like something was coming clear again.
"Shido.." I said as we got off.
"You need sleep." He said looking at me and giving a faint smile also.
"Comeon, I know I do." He said, chuckling.
"I remember…"I said looking at the ground, everything, well somethings coming back to me.
"You what?" he said, looking at me
"I remember….I…" I said, my eyes rolling in the back of my head, darkness and a image of Shido smiling, the last thing I saw.

Preview:
A bolt of lightning shot down from the sky, striking Touzoku. Everyone shielded there eyes and watched. After a few seconds, the lightning disappeared.
"Touzoku?" Ginji asked, taking a step forward.
From the dust, a bolt of scarlet lighting shot out, striking Ginji in the chest and throwing his back.
"Sorry, my name is Tumult. Touzoku isn't in right now. Please leave of message." A figure with deep green hair that went down to his waist said.
Wow! I have really gone down in these three weeks! My preview is sucky! Ok well, I hope you got it and didn't give to much away!
