Kokuzoku's hand grabbed my own and she yanked the sword out from herself. She slipped into the floor and reappeared behind us with Dark Kariudo and Dark Hakkai.

"Hey! Nero! Get over here!" Kokuzoku shouted.

"Yes! Get over there you son of a b-tch!" Normal Nero shouted.

"Ooh, language!" Light Nero pointed out, "You shouldn't swear around minors!"

"I'LL F---ING KILL YOU!!" Nero roared shooting warning blasts from his guns.

"WAAH!! Nero's yelling at me!!" Light Nero cried hiding behind Kariudo.

Whoa... He is psycho... Guess that straight jacket isn't just for show...

The dark halves of ourselves slapped their foreheads.

"Fine, stay there for all we care." D. Hakkai shrugged, "So, what'll we do with you four?"

We all crouched back into our fighting stances. I winced at the pain in my shoulder and switched my sword to my left hand. I know my left hand is faster, but my strength goes down...

"Oy! You guys get you're halfs." Kokuzoku shouted and grinned, "Pansy Kiako is mine."

"PANSY?" I rose my eyebrow. I've never been more insulted! No ones ever called me a pansy!

The other dark halfs darted past me diving into the others.

"Kariudo!" I slid back a few feet when Kokuzoku's fist slammed into my sword. She tried to punch me from above and I rolled to the side just as her fist slammed through the floor.

Yeesh! What monsterous strength!!

I dodged again and flipped backwards a few times. In mid flip, I came face to face to Kokuzoku's dark, steelly eyes.

"Too slow!" she laughed and I quickly blocked her punch with my right hand. I felt the pain shoot from my stab wound and was thrown back tumbling on the floor. I picked my self up and my hand print was on the ground. Looking at my palm, I saw it was bleeding with a fist shaped dent inside of it.

"Ahh..." I ripped off a piece of my sleeve and wrapped my hand in it.

"Opps, did I do that?" Kokuzoku giggled swishing her tail behind her, "Come on, I thought you were better then this."

"I don't exactly do alot of fighting, I'm more of a healer." I replied and stood up and held my sword in both hands, "But I'll fight if I have to." Kokozoku smirked.

"Well, let's see how well you can fight!" she slapped her palms together and placed them on the ground. The floor melted into a puddle of something hot and I quickly jumped into the air to avoid it. When Kokuzoku moved her arms the molten... Floor... folllowed her movements and rushed up at me. I quickly switched into White Mage and cast a barrier. I covered my head as the molten floor gulped me into it. It was silent for a moment and I blinked. It was pitch black in here... I cast a Regen on myself and changed back to samurai. Closing my eyes, I heard a few mocking taps from outside.

Let's see... How to beat myself up. Well... For one she's a better fighter, more obnoxious then I am and I'm stuck and wounded. Using my hand to tap on the outside shell, I gave my knuckles a rub.

Hearing a tap to the left of me, I drew my fist back and when another tap came from in front of me, I slammed my fist into the wall.

"GAH! OW!" Kokuzoku flew backwards from my fist connecting with her jaw. I jumped out of the hole I had created landing on the floor. Drawing my sword, I charged to where Kokuzoku was flipping up to her feet.

I felt an energy swirl around my sword as small petals spiraled around it.

"Yojimbo... Guide me!" I dashed forward and swung my blade, "ZANMATO!" I slashed past her and landed gracefully behind Kokuzoku. Standing up, I turned to look at her and felt pain shoot through me as my blood spewed from 3 giant gashes.

Dammit... How...?

"Whoo, that was a bit closer then I thought." Kokuzoku said, "Looks like that Aeon gave you a small handicap." she flexed her right arm.

It's shape was a giant black malicious claw. Black lightning sparked around it's fingers and a boy in dark ropes and a black torn up scarf wrapped around his head covering his whole face phased into view beside her. His dark red eyes glared out at me. No wait, one eye. His right eye, had a moon shaped scar.

"Jeez, you've lost a bit of practice." the boy sneered.

"Shut up, so have you, your reaction time's slowed down." Kokuzoku snapped back at the boy, "Oh well, no matter. Now, what do you wanna do with her?" The boy chuckled.

"I've got an idea." he said and suddenly flew at me. I held up my sword to block and instead, he flew right through me.

"Huh?" I glanced behind me and suddenly blood spilled from my left shoulder. Kokuzoku flew past me the same way that the boy did and rejoined him behind me. The boy charged again and Kokuzoku followed. I just managed to dodge to the side as Kokuzoku flew past me.

Both the boy and her were perfectly in sync... She was mirroring his movements with the claw hand!

I slowly stood up and weakly held my sword up again. Dammit, I won't be able to parry, I don't have enough energy for that... But if I just stand here I'll probably be killed...

I blinked and let out a cry of pain as Kokuzoku swatted me back with her claw. I skid along the ground and heard a dull CLANK! as my sword landed behind me.

"And now, you die!" the boy yelled. I held up my arms to protect myself until a bright white flash caused the boy and Kokuzoku to fly backwards. I dropped my arms and saw a boy with short silver hair land in front of me. He had dark purple gauntlets decorated with golden swirls that went up to his elbow. His silver coat floated behind him a bit as he flipped his powder blue scarf over his shoulder.

"Whew, looks like I got here just in time." he said, his voice gentle like a kind of melody. He took a step towards the darker boy, his black boots making dull tapping noises, "About time you showed yourself."

"Tck, lousy time for you to show up pixie." the boy snarled, "Come on Koku, let's go..."

"Aww, and I was just having fun." Kokuzoku pouted, "Well, toodles! Better be stronger the next time we fight!" with a mocking wave she and the boy sank into the floor.

The silver haired boy sighed and turned to me with a smile, "Are you ok?"

I nodded and the boy helped me up. He had an auburn eye and his left eye had a star shaped scar.

"Who're you...?" I asked and sighed when I felt my wounds heal just from his touch.

"My name is Mana, I'm a magician." he said.

"Kiako!" Kariudo was running towards us along with Hakkai and Normal Nero, "Who's this?"

"Mana, pleased to meet you." Mana bowed, "Oh, would you like me to help take care of your wounds?"

"No... Who are you really...?" Nero asked. Mana looked up at him as he used a sparkling gold aura to heal a cut on Hakkai's hip.

"Hm? Me? Well to be honest..." he smiled, "I'm the goodness and love in Kiako's heart."

"THEN STAY AWAY FROM ME!!" Nero shouted backing away.

"He doesn't mean it." I said seeing Mana's hurt look, "Let's get back to the surface, all this time down here is really taking it out of me." Mana looked at himself and I saw he was starting to become transparent.

"Ah, looks like I've been gone a bit too long." he said and walked over to me, "If you need me, just call ok?" He put his hand on my forehead closing his eye and in a moment he disappeared into a mist that seemed to fly into my body.

"Whoa, that's... interesting." Kariudo said blinking.

ʓʓʓ

"WHAA!!" I flew out of Nero's darkness landing on the ground and slid around in a few spiralling circles. I sat up rubbing my head and dusting snow off of myself.

"Kiako-chan!! Hey!" Heihachi called and he glided down beside me, "Are you oka- WAHH!!!" he slipped and flew right past me crashing into Hakkai and Kariudo. I chuckled and carefully jogged to where they were.

"I'm fine, are you ok?" I asked grinning. Hei-san smiled and stood himself back up.

"Yup."

"Yo! About time you guys got back!" Kel shouted to us as we climbed up the ledge of the rocks they were sitting on, "Man, you guys look... Pretty good. Nothing happened?"

We all exchanged a glance at eachother.

"Nothing happened?"

Only that we got our butts handed to ourselves BY ourselves.

Hakkai explained everything while I sat at the edge of the stone ledge. I felt a pawing on my back and looked over my shoulder to see Chibi Chichiri climbing up my back.

"Ah ha! I've climb Mt. Ornitier no da!" he squeaked triumphantly and hung over my shoulder, "So, are you ok Kiako-chan?"

I nodded with a smile, "Yup. Although Anima not being here makes me a bit worried..." I looked back seeing Zero kneel beside me.

"Sure you're ok?" he asked. I nodded again and peered down at the ice.

"When did it freeze over?" I asked tracing the snow brushed away from our sliding around with my eyes.

"While you guys were in there. It just suddenly froze over and turned glassy like a mirror." I stared at him as if he had suddenly turned into a fish. Jumping up to my feet, I turned and cupped my hands around my mouth.

"RUN!! BACK TO THE AIRSHIP!" I shouted running towards them with Chichiri, who popped back to his normal, non-super deformedness.

"What? Why?" Kel asked then his eyes dialated when he looked behind me, "Oh mother..."

Dark energy swirled over the ice and an inverted Anima formed over the ice. It's bottom half roared at us and apparently was now the top half.

"What in gods name is that!"

"Everyone back into the ship!" Kakashi ordered. I quickly followed but stopped when I almost ran past Kel, who was rooted to the spot.

"Kel-san! Come on, let's go!" I said shaking his shoulders, "Come on man! You run faster then I do!" I heard Anima's roar and squeezed my eyes shut. It felt like something was crushing my heart, it's scream... I shook Kel again urging him to move while feeling my own legs lock.

"Kel, Kiako! Get on!" Cid was shouting from the intercom. I opened my eyes and looked up just as Anima's chained fist slammed down beside us causing a giant shockwave that rumbled even the Shera, which was in mid take off. I caught Kel as he stumbled forward and heard the Shera rise into the air leaving Kel and I on the rock. Ah jeez this sucks!! Kel won't move and I can't move him! I looked up again at Anima's empty sunken in eyes and felt myself freeze.

Why am I so scared...? I've seen Anima's bottom half so many times already in the game, I should be used to it! Oblivion was one of my favorite OverDrives to use.

So why am I shaking, why am I scared!?

"Kiako!!" I snapped out of my trance and looked up seeing Heihachi carrying Kariudo and Ian as Vincent flew down with Zero on some kind of hover board thing. They landed down near us and Heihachi swooped down and grabbed Kel and me.

"Whoa jeez! When he's in a trance, he's awfully heavy!" Heihachi said as he dipped down a bit. He set us down near Kariudo and the others.

"Man, this thing is... Creepy..." Kariudo said looking at Anima distastefully.

"It's bottom half is switch with it's top half. Maybe something we did in the cavern flipped the image around, like the mirror floor." I said and felt my shoulder throb from the wounds, even if they were healed.

"So how do we beat this thing..." Vincent asked loading his Cerberus with bullets.

"Easy," Zero whipped out his shuriken and jumped into the air, "We pound at it until there's nothing left!!"

The others charged at Anima and I glanced back at Kel, still in shock or something. Using my magic, I cast a weak Esuna and he seemed to snap back.

"Huh? Kiako? What's going-" he looked behind me and his eyes dialated, "Oh my god..."

"Wait wait! Don't go into shock again on me!" I paniced, "Why are you so scared of this? You've played FF X!"

"Why do you think I avoid Hao? I'm like a chick when it comes to ghosts and stuff!" Kel cried hugging himself, "I just can't... I can't..."

I sighed and pat him on the shoulder.

"It's ok, I understand, but just think this. When your sitting here thinking about how scared you are, what'll happen to the people important to you who can't face their own fears?" I replied and stood up turning to run at the others, "So even if I'm scared... I can't let my worst fear come true or get the better of me."

Anima let out a giant screeching roar.

"I can't let my own selfish fears get in the way! I can't let anyone else die!!" I ran straight at Anima and drew my sword. Throwing the sheath behind me, I raised the blade into the air above Anima's head and slashed downwards. It flinged itself to the side and I missed just chopping off a few hairs. I landed on the ice and slipped.

GRAAAH!! I HATE ICE!! I slid to the other side of the lake and stopped only when I stabbed my sword into the ground. I gave my head a shake and looked up at everyone attacking Anima.

Noticing for the first time since forever, I jumped up to my feet. Anima didn't move, it was totally frozen into the ice! It wasn't able to rotate either, but was able to hit plenty around with its chains and fists...

Anima roared when Vincent shot it in the eye and was swatted away near a snowbank.

"Take this: Raging snow wolve!" Zero shouted landing in the snow. He lept towards Anima and the snow followed him and surrounded him in the shape of a giant white wolf that lashed out at Anima. It meered punched through the snow and Zero went flying landing beside Vincent.

Ian tried to slash at Anima and was knocked back into the air. He regained his balance and a red aura glowed around him.

"We'll see how you like this, ugly!" The red aura intensified, "OVERDRIVE!" he charged down at Anima with sonic speed and Anima could only glance to one side until blood spurted from a new gash in it's body. I saw Ian reappear for a second and then zoom off again attacking Anima like crazy. Almost Dragon Ball Z Style! Even I couldn't follow his movements.

"Whoa, Ian-san's going berserk!" Heihachi said as I ran near them.

"Yeah I know! At this rate Anima will probably be finished." I said watching. Ian jumped away from Anima and skidded beside us.

Anima let out a final roar and shrank away with pyraflies scattering about.

"Wow, great move Ian!" Kariudo smiled.

Ian turned and grinned back. Then all of a sudden, he collapsed onto the ground.

"Ian-san!"

"Looks like it took too much out of him, must've strained his muscles." I said and picked him up, "Well, he deserves a rest. For a guy who didn't get much action he sure knows how to make up for it!" I smiled and jumped up onto the rock ledge setting Ian down. Vincent and Zero crawled up beside us.

"Oww... Gotta work on that move..." Zero muttered scratching his head. I laughed.

"Well, better radio Cid in." I said and turned to look back at the lake.

Suddenly, the pyraflies swirled together and a giant kind of leafy shell appeared.

I already recognized the shape.

"Kariudo, Hei-san!" I called. There was a roar and Heihachi had already grabbed Kariudo under the arms and taken flight towards us.

Anima's top half roared.

"GYAAAH!!" Heihachi shouted in pain as Anima's Pain attack hit his back practically disentigrating his wings.

"No!" I took a step forward and was stalled when a gust of wind blew past me and suddenly two people landed down in front of us. A boy with snow white hair wearing a white coat over his black robes and a tall lady with curly blonde hair with the same black robes were holding Heihachi and Kariudo.

"Hei-san!" I quickly changed to White Mage and took a hold of Heihachi from the lady. I frowned, almost at the brink of tears. His wings had been completely blasted off and his back was a bloody mess, the blow even knocked him unconcious...

"Don't worry, I think I'll be able to help with my magic." the lady said cheerfully. She almost looked like a model, such cleavage! It was almost scary...

"Who're you?" I asked casting Cura as she also helped with a kind of glowing orb.

"Me? I'm Matsumoto Rangiku! Lieutenant of the 10th squad!" she replied.

"Lieutenant? Then who are-" we all looked up at the white haired boy, who was setting Kariudo down. Her face was flushed red with a blush as his hand still rest on her waist.

"10th squad captain of the Gotei 13." the boy said, his blue-green eyes glowing, "Hitsugaya Toshirou."
