Chapter 22- Pure Hatred

"T-tamera?" Len's wide golden eyes were reduced to tiny dots. His hand dropped by his side and he suddenly looked down. The wind blew his hair, which were shadowing his eyes. "You killed her." Len clenched his fists.

"Hum?" Xui brushed back a strand of her glossy purple hair and smiled. "Oh, yes I did. You know Lenny," she kept the smile plastered to her face and walked to him. "You're not the only tough person in the world. There are others- others like me."

It was as if talking to a zombie. Len wasn't replying- just standing there, looking down.

"You know, you can talk now. I won't hurt you Lenny. I would never." Xui smiled and slowly touched his face with her icy cold hand. Suddenly Len looked up. It was as if fire blazed in his eyes. His expression was that of sorrow and hate- pure hate.

Xui's, now silver, eyes widened. She looked a little taken aback.

"What is it?" she smiled amusedly. "Oh now don't tell me you're that weak. Don't tell me you've never seen death before."

"You killed her." Len spoke again, this time in a much deadlier manner.

"Yes. I did." Xui pulled on a face. "I can also kill people you know. It's not that shocking. And don't give me that look, Len. I've also lost my loved ones."

"I don't care about you!!" Len burst out and punched her in the shoulder. He caught Xui off-guard who fell back. Quickly, he clutched his kwandao tightly in his hand.

"Why did you do that, Len?" Xui's expression turned sorrowful and her eyes watered.

"WHY DID YOU DO THAT, I ASKED!!" she stood up and glared at him.

A wooden stick appeared in her hand. It was thick this time and the edges were blunt. Smirking slightly, she pointed it at Len.

"That was really mean of you. And you can't be mean to me!" Her eyes flickering red again, Xui charged at him.

"You can only be nice to Xui! Only nice!!" With that, she slammed the stick against his right arm. His head spinning in anger, Len didn't have time to dodge it. A few splinters pierced his skin and blood trickled down.

"You can't defeat me. I'm the most powerful shaman ever!!" Len snapped at her and jumped up, the kwandao spinning in his hand. "YAAAAA!!"

Xui looked up, her eyes widening. However, she quickly regained her wits and smiled. Her hands joined together, forming a weird sign. That was when Len realized he couldn't move anymore. Hanging with one hand to his kwandao, he was suspended in mid-air!

"Huh?!" Len gazed down. He was up very high indeed. Xui looked up at him, and then flicked one finger and he fell- it was a free-fall and as Len hit the ground, he was sure a few bones had broken. Groaning and breathing rather heavily, he tried to sit up. If only Bason was there- but no, he was on vacation with Amidamaru! How bizarre was that!

"I don't want to hurt you, Lenny." Xui towered over him. "I really don't, but you hurt Fan Xui! And you won't be with me anymore! There is only one way I can discipline you!"

With a ghost of a smile curved on the edge of her lips, she looked over to where Tamera's body lay and raised one hand. The body rose up with it.

"Now, Xui has fun!" she smiled serenely at Len and thrust her raised hand forwards, then dropped it by her side. Tamera's body flew forwards and hit a huge willow tree with sheer force. Dust blew up and the trunk cracked, and then fell down.

Len watched in horror, as Tamera got lost under the weight, branches and leaves of the tree. Growling and mustering up his strength he stood up and tried with all his might to hit Xui with his kwandao.

But he could not kill her. He was not a murderer. He was going to have revenge and if Xui didn't bring Tamera back, he would destroy her all right, but slashing people up with his kwandao was just not Tao Len.

The blade slashed through the back of her maroon shirt and blood gushed out.

"Aaaah!!" Xui dropped to her knees. Realizing quickly what had happened, she lost no time in standing up again.

"Lenny!! How could you hurt me like that?!" Behind her, the wound itself began to re-stitch. The blood soon disappeared.

"Don't you get it Len?! I'm indestructible! No one can beat me!!" Xui shrieked. Then she added to herself, "Maybe I should talk to you some time later, when you have gotten control over yourself. Until then," smiling sweetly she walked to Len. "Remember Fan Xui," Winking, she gave Len a two-fingered salute and then rammed the edge of her stick at the back of his head.

Bright splotches of light burst in front of his eyes, and Len felt himself drop down. Her last words spinning through his head….Remember Fan Xui…Remember..

Heh! I'm not very good at making up fights so I apologize for any stupid battling styles. --"
