Heyy, readers. What's crackalackin? So, last time we read HOMRA stormed Ashinaka High, Yata told Aya about his and Fushimi's past, and they took their relationship to a whole new level. For those of you who think their relationship is going too fast, I'm sorry, but a lot of relationship kind of go that speed. No lie. So, what do you think is up next? What's going to happen? Will Aya and Yata be ok? Who will we loose and who will we gain?

So, without further a do, let's make it do what it do-

I woke up to Yata shaking me and a bundle of folded up clothes in his hand. He told me to go change and get ready. I went down to the closest restroom in the building and quickly changed into the white tank top, black hoodie, and black leggings Yata had brought out. I put my black and red snapback on on and flipped my hood over it. I tugged my skates on and placed my school uniform in my backpack. When I exited Yata was leaning against the wall next to the door, yawning.

"Are you ok? Did you get any sleep last night?" I asked, slinging my backpack over my shoulder.

"I'm fine." He shrugged. "We've got orders in. So, let's go." He said and pushed himself off the wall.

"But I thought I wasn't supposed to-"

"Orders came from Mikoto. He demanded that you go." Yata shrugged and slung an arm around my shoulders. "I guess he sees how kick ass my girl is." I rolled my eyes and playfully jabbed my elbow into his side. He grunted and then laughed. We walked around the campus for a while, scoping the place out. I should have told him how big the island was, but even if I had we still would have scoped the place out. That's just how Yata is. We eventually started headed towards the front gate.

When we got out to there the sky was clear and there were a few men out there. Yata looked around and then made a call on his watch. "Hey, it's me. This place is humongous. I'm gonna focus on guarding the front. It's all I can handle. But to do that, I'm gonna need a few more guys over here. Ok?"

"Copy that. Right away." I heard Kusanagi say from Yata's watch. I looked around, saw a few guys dozing off.

"Hey! Wake up! We're not here to sleep." I snapped, kicking one of them.

"Yes ma'am." They said and snapped too. I rolled my eyes and turned around to Yata.

"What exactly are we doing out here? Shouldn't we be keeping a look out from the roof?" I asked Yata.

He shrugged and sighed. "We need people out here, but we need eyes up there. I can't go though. Mikoto and Kusanagi need me here."

"Do you want me to go?" I looked around. "I can stay up there. It's close and high up. If you needed up I could be down here in only a few minutes." I said and pointed to the closest building.

"No. We need our best fighters down here." Yata sighed and grabbed his beanie on the top of his head frustratedly. "God dammit, I don't know what to do!"

"Yata, how can I help?" I asked softly. "Maybe you can seen Chitose or Akagi up there to watch. If you need me down here then you can send one of them up there."

"Maybe that could wo-" Sirens went off suddenly, cutting Yata off and grasping our attention. I looked around, I didn't see anything, but when I looked back to Yata he was smiling. I think he knew what this meant...and he enjoyed it.

All of the HOMRA men we had around us came closer, Yata, me, and Rikio all in the front. Yata dropped his board down and smiled dangerously.

"Here they come." Rikio said.

"The blues? How'd they get in?" I asked.

"I don't care, bring 'em on." Yata said roughly.

The men all around me prepared for the blues to come bursting in, so I got ready. I was holding Yata's hand and I gave it a tight squeeze. He looked at me from the corner of his eye and squeezed my hand back. I took a deep breath and face the gate again. The blues were all lined up in front of us suddenly. And guess who was in the front. Little Miss Slice-n-Dice. I reached back and lightly brushed a finger over my thin scar.

"Bitch." I muttered under my breath, getting a small chuckle out of Yata.

"Listen up, Mikoto Suoh and red clan members. Put your weapons down and surrender immediately, or face the consequences." She demanded, her voice booming over the intercom.

"Now it's war!" Yata chanted, letting go of my hand. All the clan members behind me chanted, I just growled and glared daggers at the blue woman. My gaze shifted towards Fushimi, who looked giddier than a little girl in a candy shop. Fucking freak.

All of them suddenly drew their swords, ready for battle. The air turning thick among us. I balled my fists up, ready to take action the minute Yata said so. He tensed next to me and so did the rest of our clan. Metal pipes, bats, any weapon they had ready to start swinging and hitting. Yata's foot pushed his board back and forth, he was more than ready to jump into action.

"They're going down." He growled. "Come on! Let's do this!" And then they were off. The stomped their feet, raised their weapons, and chanted the clan's slogan.

"No blood! No bone! No ash! No blood! No bone! No ash!" Over and Over again they chanted loudly. I joined them, a twisted smile spread across my face and the anticipation of a fight bubbling in my chest. I know Yata was going to go after that fucking monkey, and I'd fight whoever came my way, but I just wanted on hit on that bastard and the bitch who cut up my back.

With the last of the chant said we rushed in, the fight had started. People all around me were swinging their weapons high and wide. I had to dodge a few of them, duck under most. I had gotten around several people before a guy with long brown hair caught me. He sword nearly cut my throat, but luckily I dodged in time. I growled and glowed. I grabbed the sword full handed, shooting as much heat into it as possible. The guy soon after grunted and dropped the damn thing. I let it fall in front of my feet and then kicked it away. I looked at the guy, he had his hands up, ready for hand-to-hand. I smirked and then twirled counter-clockwise and swinging my foot out. I caught him in the back. He let out another grunt and then grabbed my arm and pulled me down. I wrapped my leg around the arm that hand me and started pushing back. I heard a nice clean pop, telling me I had knocked his arm out of socket. I smirked at the sound and took my chance to kick up and at his chin. He dodged just in time to miss it. I kicked myself back up, ready for more. I started to go for another kick, but then an explosion blew.

We all stopped. Blues and Reds. We watched as one of the building caught a flame and a mushroom cloud formed in the sky. I gasped. That was the building I had suggested I go on top of. If Yata hadn't of said no, I would have been blown to smithereens. I looked over to Yata, who was a few men away from me. His eyes were wide as he watched the flames grow higher. Suddenly blue circles formed in the sky and I watched as the Blue King ran across them and towards the explosion. Another explosive went off and the building side blew. Rubble fell from the sky, just above Eric.

"Eric!" I screamed, ready to take off. Yata caught my arm, already knowing what I was ready to do. I looked at him and then back to the scene. The Blue King had jumped down from one of the circles he was previously running on and had stopped the rubble from falling down onto Eric. He started muttering something to himself, but I couldn't hear and all I was worried about was Eric getting out of there.

Suddenly Eric jumped up and jammed something into the Blue Kings side. I gasped and took a step back. He looked up and smile at the man he just stabbed. And then the circle that was protecting them vanished and the rubble fell down. I screamed and turned around into Yata. I grabbed a hold tightly on his sweater and hid my face, pushing all the tears back. I was afraid Eric was dead. He just stabbed the Blue King yes, but he was apart of my family. What if he got caught by some of the rubble.

"Anna's been shot." Someone said. I looked up and Yata turned around. "It was one of those bastards."

"What?" I snapped.

"One of those blues shot Anna." One of our members said.

"Which one?" I growled.

"I don't know. But let's kill every one of those bastards!" Someone chanted.

"Let's get 'em." I seethed.

Yata took off on his board, almost catching the blue woman off guard. She swings her sword up just in time to deflect he board. They started a battle, but just as Yata had her, a sword caught him.

"Guess again, Misaki. You'll have to get past me first." Fucking Fushimi. "Remember, pal. We have unfinished business."

"Oh no." I breathed. "Yata, don't do it!" I yelled over the crowed, blocking another hit from a blue.

"Monkey," I heard him say. He was ignoring me. "Fine! Let's settle it then!" He yelled and started fighting.

"Yata, don't!" I screamed, kicking up at a blue.

They went back and forth as I got the upper hand on two different blues. I started to take off towards them, but then a huge ray of white light emerged from the school. I jumped and turned and watched it. Everyone ceased all fighting.

"Shit. What the hell is that?" I heard Yata behind me. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back into him. I gaped and looked up at it. Who was doing that?

"A streaming...silver light." Monkey said next to us.

It suddenly started separating and revealing something. Everyone gasped at what it was. But as soon as it appeared it disappeared with no trace.

"Was that a sword of Damocles?" I choked out.

"But who," Yata trailed off.

"Misaki!" Fushimi yelled and swung his sword out. Yata pushed me out of the way just in time for me to miss the blade, but it stopped right under his chin. "Keep your eyes on me, loser. I'm the one you're fighting. So stay focused!" Was he a nut or what?

"Yata," I said cautiously.

"Yeah, I hear you, fucking monkey." He spat, ignoring me once again.

"Yata, please don't do this." I begged. I don't know why kept pleading, he was just going to ignore me again.

The two shot off from each other, and that's when everyone started fighting again. I cursed under my breath and shot up from the ground. If I couldn't reason with Yata to stop, then I would just join the fight. A sword swung my way, and ducked in time to miss it. I kicked up with my knee and caught the bastard in the gut. He came back around elbowed me in the neck. I hit the ground, but rolled before he could pin me. He jabbed his sword down just beside my head, missing me by only a few inches. I stared at the thing for a second and growled.

"Bastard." I seethed and kicked up, knocking the weapon away. I shot up and away, gaining some speed on my blades. I circled around and jumped up, catching the guy in the face with my wheels. He was knocked up, bleeding from his mouth. I hit the ground and circled until I caught my balance. I faced him, arms crossed over my chest.

"You done yet?" I asked with a sharp tone.

He didn't reply. He just shot at me. I dodge his fist, but it was a trap. He came back and caught me by the throat. His hand wrapped around my jugular tightly, squeezing, and cutting off my airways. I scratched at his hands, trying to release me from them, but he just squeezed tighter.

"Ya-" I choked out. I was trying to call for Yata, but I had lost too much air and he was in battle with Fushimi. Suddenly two swords formed in the sky. Munakata and Mikoto's. Our King was ok...but for how long? And was I going to survive.

"Mikoto lives!" I heard Yata yell. Oh perfect! He notices when Mikoto's sword of Damocles forms, but not when I'm about to fucking die!

I started blacking out. My vision came in and out as I saw the red and blue auras surround the swords. I heard Yata and Fushimi go at it again. I could hear the clashing of his board and the monkey's sword. Dammit! Could I please get some help! I need Yata, but he so far gone in that stupid fight to notice I'm actually being choked to death. Suddenly I was dropped to the ground and my attacker was running off. I heard a boom, but I was too busy trying to put air back in my lungs to care. I gasped, sucking in as much air as I could.

"We've...got a problem." I heard Rikio say.

"What the hell! Black Dog!" And that was Yata. Yata!

I got up, still a little weak, but I stormed over to Yata's direction anyways. I was so pissed I was probably glowing bright fucking red. The black dog started talking, giving orders, but I didn't care. I had my eyes and attention locked on one fucking person...and he was about to be dead.

"Get out of here. Why should we listen to you?" Yata retorted. His calm and cool voice pissed me off even more. "My King is the Red King, Mikoto Suoh. And no one else. I don't give a shit about silver!"

"Or your fucking girlfriend apparently." I growled.

The black dog started giving orders, giving some bullshit lecture about laying down weapons and waiting for further orders from our kings. But then Fushimi cut in, nearly slice-n-dicing him in half. He said something to him, but I didn't hear all of it. And then Yata took off, just when I almost had him. I wanted to yell and scream, but I knew I'd fucking kick his ass later and force him to sleep on the couch or in the other room at HOMRA as soon as all this was done.

"I hate to admit it, but the monkey's right." He said. "There's no reason to trust anything you have to say!"

Suddenly something spoke up so loud it knocked my ass clean out.

When I woke up all I heard was Yata and Fushimi fighting again. I could feel the cold all around my body. How long was I out for? I opened my eyes and looked around. Yata and that fucking monkey were not fighting each other, but the black dog. I sat up and started to try and gain my balance. I leaned against a tree as I stood up. My head was spinning and my body was warn out. My throat hurt still and I think my voice was a little hoarse. And then the searing pain in my arm hit me.

I cried out dropped back to my knees. I heard Fushimi say something about Mikoto, but the pain mixed in with my dizzy state didn't allow me to really hear him. I heard Yata start yelling at him, he was ranting about something again. I tried to pay attention, but my head was spinning so much I couldn't even focus on the burning in my arm. I felt like I was going to puke. I heard the black dog's voice cut into Yata's bullshit rant. Thank you Black Dog.

"Come on, Yata. Let's get out of here. Everyone else has been evacuated." And there was Rikio. Everyone had been evacuated? Everyone except me.

"That's not true. Mikoto hasn't left, and he'll never leave. He'll never give up." I heard Yata say.

"Yata," I called out weakly, still on the ground...but it was too soft for anyone to hear.

"Put me down and leave me alone." Fushimi.

"Put me down! Hey! You listening to me?" Yata.

I heard Yata keep going on and on, and then Rikio say something about Mikoto. I heard footsteps after that. Dammit! They were leaving. I was helpless and fucking unbalanced over here and no one could help.

"Rikio, where's Ayame?" I heard Yata say.

"I think she's evacuated with everyone else." No I wasn't!

"Yata!" I said louder, but still no one heard. I cursed myself and then lifted myself up again. I leaned against the tree for a few more minutes and then took off on my skates. I was wobbly and it was so beyond dangerous for me to be up let alone skating with the way I was feeling, but it was my only option. I could see Rikio running off with Yata and Fushimi over his shoulders. Good. He had them. I slowed a little, just flowing and not pushing myself even more over my limit.

After awhile Rikio got rid of the monkey and put Yata down. The two were walking and Yata was going on another rampage. I just followed along quietly. I bet they hadn't even noticed me yet. I saw all the others pretty soon and Yata ran up to Kusanagi accusing him of abandoning our King. I found it pretty amusing to see him knock Yata upside the head. He told him to calm down and told him we were under our Kings orders to evacuate. He told Yata he should be ashamed of himself and to man up, which I also took joy in.

"Hey, where's Aya? I thought you said she was fucking here you fat ass!" Yata yelled.

"I thought she was here, Yata." Rikio defended.

"You didn't see her?" Kusanagi asked.

I growled and then skated up to Yata, kicking him upside the head. I lost my balance on the come down, nearly falling but catching myself. I was breathing hard, my head still going in constant circles. I wanted to drop to the ground and just lay down, but instead I whirled around and catch Yata between the shoulder blades with my elbow.

"You fucking bastard!" I yelled. Rikio pulled me back, holding me tightly off the ground and away from Yata.

"What the hell?" Yata yelled hold his head and reaching up his back. "That fucking hurt, Ayame!"

"I fucking hope I broke something you fucking idiot!" I snapped.

"What the hell is your deal?" He snapped.

"My deal?" I cracked. I was right, my voice was hoarse. "You were so caught up in the bullshit fucking fight with that retarded monkey that you didn't even notice when I was being choked to death! And then you didn't notice when I fucking passed out in the cold fucking snow! If I hadn't woken up when I did then I would still be out there!" I kicked my feet up, trying to catch him with my wheels.

"Aya, calm down." Rikio tried to reason.

"Let go of me, fat ass! I want to beat him into a bloody pulp!" I seethed, kicking my feet up again.

"Ayame, I didn't-"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear your bullshit excuse!" I growled.

Yata looked at me for a minute and then past me to Rikio. "Put her down." He said.

"But, Yata-"

"I said fucking put her down, Fat Ass!" He said harsher.

Rikio put my feet on the ground and let me go. I tried to go in for another hit, but my head started spinning even worse and I lost balance. I started to fall, but Yata caught me. He was saying my name, shaking me. I groaned and opened my eyes. Yata had me held tightly to him, his eyes looking down at me with worry. Kusanagi and the others all surrounded us. I groaned and reached up.

"What happened? What's wrong?" Yata asked.

"I'm just really dizzy." I admitted. All my anger slipped from me. I felt like complete shit and I just wanted to curl up into Yata's arms.

"Let's get you standing." Yata said and helped me up. He had his arms around me tightly, balancing me. "You ok?" He asked.

"Yeah." I said and took a few deep breaths. I looked up in the sky and saw something weird. "Guys, look!" I said and pointed up. "One of the swords is...falling."

"Mikoto!" Yata exclaimed.

I looked closer and nearly broke. It was Mikoto's sword. Why was it falling? What was going on? As it inched closer the ground we all watched in fear. And then suddenly it stopped and began to disappear.

"Mikoto!" Anna suddenly screamed. We all looked back at her, tears falling from her eyes.

Suddenly I understood what happened. Everyone did. Yata pulled me closer. I turned around and put my face in the crook of his neck. I cried. I broke. Mikoto died...for all of us. He was gone. His sword of Damocles vanished and so did his life. The snow fell and so did the light. I felt Yata's hand reach up and cup the back of my head. His chest was heaving. He was crying.

"No blood...no bone...no ash." I heard Rikio say. I looked up and Yata and I both looked at him.

"No blood...no bone...no ash! No blood...no bone...no ash!" Everyone started chanting. Yata looked to all of them and then up to the sky. "No blood...no bone...no ash!" He started chanting along with them.

"No blood...no bone...no ash!" I joined in, turning around and looking to the sky. "No blood! No Bone! No Ash!"We said it over and over, all of us glowing red. A small pain hit my arm, but I kept going. Little red orbs left our marks, floating to the sky. Anna ran up and looked to the sky. A smile on her face.

I turned back to Yata and hugged him tight. We lost Mikoto and I refuse to lose another.
