As the Land of Fuka was plunged into darkness, as the HiME were in hiding, everything was over. The streets were trashed, soldiers marching everywhere, killing innocent people if they didn't obey Reito's laws. Mai was doing fine and sticking with Midori underground. That's when I was walking through the streets, seeing what happen after I was saved after that nasty far. I couldn't believe what happen when I was recovering for the past month.

As I walked into a bank where the rich put their money in for Reito, I took my hooded robe off and pulled a shotgun out, shooting at the soldiers. I looked the bank manager who was scared.

"Where does Reito keep his money?" I said in a nice clam voice, but the banker was still scared. "ANSWER ME! NOW!"

The banked panic and gave in.

"I-In the ba-back! Vault one."

"Thank you, kind sir," I said, grinning.

As I walked into the back and saw the big vault, I shot the lock to make it open. I could see weapons, money, everything Reito had. I dropped the shotgun and grabbed two pistols with ammo then walked outside, shooting at soldiers. As I saw a wanted picture of me, seeing how I was unknown as the Humanoid Typhoon, I was happy I did what I did. Steal, give it to the poor, save people's life just to make Shizuru happy not knowing if she was alive or dead.

As I heard a soldier run up behind me, I turned out and kicked him in the stomach then shot him in the head, feeling blood coming onto my face. As I whipped it with my blood stain cloak, I threw it down and walked off to stop this madness before anyone gets hurt.

"Sir Shizuru, our squad has been defeated. What do we do?" said a soldier.

As Shizuru's maple eyes looked over at me, her eyes widen to see me alive. My eyes were busy on something until I walked closer to see Shizuru. I walked over to her and gave her a gentle smile.

"It's been so long since we've seen each other, has it not been a month since we've last seen each other?" I said in a clam voice.

"Natsuki-chan, I missed you so much. The Order of the HiME is no more, we're taking shelter underground to fight back for you, but our people have fallen. Reito's Empire is growing stronger by the minute.

"The Empire will fall by hands just to protect you."

"Will you shed more blood? Just to protect me?"

As my eyes twitched a bit, I gotten myself lost and gave Shizuru a hug with a smile.

"It's great to see you, Shizuru."

Shizuru smiled and returned the hug.

"You've changed a bit with those words."

"What can I say? I learned it from you."

As I heard Shizuru giggling a bit, I turned around to see if any soldiers were coming then took Shizuru underground.

"You know where Nagi is?" I asked Shizuru, walking fast down a tunnel underground.

"Yes, he's at his favorite restaurant a few blocks from here."

"Thanks," as I said, climbing up a ladder, "Get the other HiME and meet me there."

I opened a manhole and looked around if the coast was clear. I climbed out and head across the street to see Nagi sitting at a table eating. I sank into the deep shadows of the night and walked in, sticking with the shadows by the wall. I took an ice cube out and threw it at Nagi.

Nagi looked up to see who it was.

"No long time seen, Nagi," I said, coming out from the shadows behind him.

Nagi couldn't help but grin.

"I see you're still alive. I guess I need to KILL YOU AGAIN!"

Nagi turned around and went to stab me in the throat. I dodged the knife and kick him in the nuts. As I saw him fall down groaning in pain, I grabbed the knife he dropped and looked at the silver blade. I put it to his throat.

"Where's Reito?"

"I'm not telling you!"

"Maybe I should kill you off anyway and not let you get laid."

"Fine, Reito's at Mashiro's mansion not far from here."

"Thanks," I said as I put the knife down then kicked him in the face. "That was for last time."

I walked out to see the red moon glowing with blood that Reito has shed. As I heard a familiar voice, I turned around to see the Order I came up with still okay but with Mai.

"Mai, I'm so glad your okay."

"If it wasn't for you, I probably still be under Reito's spell."

"True. Listen up guys! Reito is at Mashiro's mansion and we must attack! Who's with me?"

As everyone punched their fist up into the air, we summoned our Child's and ran to Mashiro's mansion to fight against soldiers. As Mai was flying up above and giving us air support, I was trying to protect one but Midori and Akane was using their Wind Element to gather the guns up from the soldiers so it would have been easier to kill them. As half of the soldiers were defeated, everyone was starting to run out of breath, panting hard.

As Reito came up to the top of the gate to Mashiro's mansion, he gave a cold grin on his face.

"Kuga Natsuki! Why have you come back from the grave to stop me from marrying Mai?"

"Maybe Mai doesn't want to marry you and I'm standing to protect Shizuru!"

As Shizuru had an evil grin on her face from being controlled from an AI, she put her weapon to Mai's throat.

"Now, Natsuki-chan. Do whatever Reito says and I won't harm Ms. Tokiha."

As I turned to look at Shizuru, he growled low.

"What have you become?" I look back at Reito. "You're controlling her mind, aren't you?"

"What if I am?"

"Bastard!"

"Shizuru, kill them all."

"Wait! I'll do whatever you want me to.

Reito started to laugh.

"Then kill Shizuru! Give me a fight I will enjoy on this beautiful day!"

Sorry for not getting this story up. Had too much fun over the summer and now that this chapter is finally done, the next one will have another Natsuki VS Shizuru fight scene which I hope will be great. Also, cheek my latest story called "The Curse Name", I hope it turns out well as a drama story. That's it. Leave reviews, I'll get back to you guys, and enjoy.
