The Hell to Consequences

"Elie" his cry echoed through the cave reaching Elie just as she fell onto the floor of the cave.

Shuda looked up, a smile growing on his lips.

"We meet again Haru" He screamed down the cave towards the running figure of Haru, his flashlight now sending a beam of light, penetrating through the darkness where the sunlight could not reach.

"Shuda?" Haru stopped running as his beam of light fell upon Shuda's form.

"It's been a while Haru" smiled Shuda

Haru moved the flashlight from side to side trying to see Elie who was now obscured behind Shuda back. But as he moved the flashlight back and forth he saw that Shuda cast no shadow.

"Your not shuda."

"What kind of pathetic mind game is this?"

"Your not Shuda, I don't care what you are, a ghost, a illusion, a memory or a bad dream, just move or I will cut you down where you stand." Haru spat his words like daggers, his eyes sharpening into slits.

"You think you can talk to me like that you little runt."

"Shut up and move. I beat the real Shuda and I know he wasn't evil, so you chose the wrong person to impersonate. Elie didn't know so see believed it was you, but I know the truth, you're just an illusion. And I don't have time for you!"

"You think an illusion can do this." He gestured to Elie lying on the floor, unmoving.

Haur's grip on his sword tightened, he didn't give Shuda a second to react as he swung his sword behind his head and sliced through Shuda's body, his blade embedding itself in the cave wall after passing strait through the form of Shuda. Shuda merely laughed.

"You think you can harm me" he smiled watching Haru's attempts to pull his sword from the cave wall.

"I'm happy it didn't," whispered Haru quietly, his knuckles so white they almost glowed. "I want you to suffer for what you did, I want to peal the skin from your bones" he hissed now glaring at Shuda, as a small tear now finally freed itself from his eyes, and fell down his pitiless face.

"Dark, but you couldn't kill me the first time, you think you can manage it now."

"You aren't Shuda, and I don't know why you are here, but if you think I will let you walk away from what you've done, you're mistaken."

"Does it matter to you who I am? If you want I can be Dr. Schneider…that's the form I first showed myself to Elie as. You should have seen her fear."

"Enough" screamed Haru

"Or should I be Musica- you wouldn't hurt your old pal would you?" Haru swung again, this time his blade past right through Muscias grinning face.

"You would try to kill your best friend…what type of hero are you?" Said the illusion of Muscia with mock shock. "But maybe no one means as much to you as Elie" the fake Musica smiled imitating musica's trade mark grin before shifting into Elie.

"Haru!" The fake Elie cried out, "don't hurt me please."

"Don't you dare think you can be her."

"Please Haru put you sword down, don't fight, join me." Elie smiled cheerfully.

Haru leaned against the wall of the cave, he knew none of them where the real thing, but just seeing a form of Elie… he didn't know if he could hit her, and he was becoming so very tiered.

The form of Elie now- to haru's relief- shifted back to Musica.

"I prefer this form, much more fun, and the black hair is very dashing isn't it". Musica said all most to himself. He leaned up and grabbed his silver skull necklace and it transformed into a spear.

"And its not as weak as Elie, now lets see if you can do better against me than she did."

They charged: Musica or at least his form still grinning, Haru flinging himself forward, knowing it wouldn't make a difference. They clashed, passing each other in the blink of the eye. As Haru stopped running he felt his knees buckle and he leaned against his sword as he swayed.

I can't go down.

"Pathetic" muscia shook his head.

Haru pushed himself up swaying ever so somewhat, his eyes slightly unfocused.

Musica was now leaning against the wall of the cave looking bored, he twiddled his spear between his fingers like a baton.

"Want to try again he asked with a glint in his eye, because I think its time for you to die, I've had enough fun, I'm getting bored."

I know I shouldn't, I know there's no point, my blade goes through him like a arrow through the air, its like trying to strike fire. But every time if go at him I feel better, I feel like I am taking it out on something, he needs to suffer…if only I could cut the air.

I Can.

I feel the decka force sword's leather grip, I close my hands around it and sense the sword awaken from its slumber.

This time you die-

Musica began to run towards Haru with a look of complacency evident on his face. Haru stood his ground, raised his sword above his head and screamed Runesave. For the final time Haru brought his sword down, he felt the contact and gazed down into muscia's eyes as they widened in shock, at the realisation that he was being cut in two.

"You hit me" he whispered in disbelief, as he faded away seeping into the floor of the cave.

"Elie!"

Haru fell to the floor scrambling over to Elie's limp body.

"Elie…" Haru whispered into her ear, his eyes dampening yet again, as his fingers lingered over the cuts and blood across Elie's face.

Around them the cave was still, the destructive memory of Shuda, Musica and everybody else was but a mere memory, as it- unknown to Elie- always had always been.

"Elie, I know you can hear me" Haru whispered into Elie's ear…"why do we always end up in these situations?" he chuckled trying to sound light hearted. "We've been here before and we got through it. I'm here and I still love you. I know you heard me the first time I whispered it to you. I'm sorry I never told you again…I did mean it and I mean it even more now. I need you too much, don't think you can just leave me so you don't have to deal with me and Muscia I won't let you. Please"

"I love you too" came a faint whisper.

Haru lifted Elie, his face inches above hers, his eyes searching in the dark for something, some sign what he had just heard hadn't been a cruel joke.

Elie P.O.V

Now I know I am dead, there is such a thing as heaven and I'm in it. I am being held like before, by Haru. Everything is perfect, "I love you" I hear the words, haru's words. I love you to I smile to myself. I don't need to fight anymore in heaven I can love Haru without hurting him. I will myself to caress his cheek, I know its there but when I try and dagger of pain shoots through my arm, is there pain in heaven?

I open my eyes, darkness but I feel warm breath against my skin and sense you lips lingering above mine, if I could just lean towards you….

Now I am floating, or moving. I still feel your breath ragged against me, your heart beat against mine, strange… I can barely feel mine…maybe I'm not dead but Haru is here, how?

Haru P.O.V

She is alive I can barely believe it, parts of me doesn't. I need to see her, in the light make sure she is real. I'm running and yet she feels so light. Apparently love is that strong. The cave around me is immaterial, I see the rocks move past me on either side, but I don't really give a damn. I break into the light, I see her body bruised and bloody it breaks my heart, why her? I fall to he ground with her still in my arms, my face still dangling above hers, I see her cut lips and the blood pouring onto her perfect skin…I'm so sorry.

Haru I'm not dead! Its stupid but I've just realised. I open my eyes again and the light pours in, almost blindingly. He is so close his silver hair glistening like a halo in the sunlight. He has tears on his face and I feel tears on mine- I thought I had none left.

"You found me."

He smiles and I realise I love him so much more than I thought possible.

"Always" he whispers smiling, tear tracks still glistening on his face.

I try to lean towards him I'm so close, his lips edge towards mine, his silver hair floats around his face. This may not be heaven but I have an angle. He draws me closer and I feel his lips against mine. It's such a soft kiss but when we part Haru is looking at me with eyes so deep I could drown

I kiss her so lightly because any harder and I might hurt her more, I don't give a damn,to hell withconsequences, I can't lose her, I can't have her not know how I feel. How do we manage to find joy after so much pain? After she goes through so much pain, what did she do to deserve this? Elie shudders against me as a dry cough falls from her lips, and she buries herself into me. I feel a sharp pain in my chest, but this position feels so right… but now I have to break this perfect scene. Again. Because again like some stupid curse one of us needs help.
