Shadow Yu stood up and squinted his eyes at Unknown. "You...You bastard!" he uttered out, wiping his mouth of blood. "I'm gonna make you pay..." Shadow Yu turned into his Izanagi mode. Unknown just smiled. "Look at the little toddler throwing his fit..." Unknown spit the words like poison to Snow White's apple. Shadow Yu's eyes let out a sharp gleam that I could have sworn had stopped my heart for a second. Shadow Yu launched himself at Unknown, blazing with rage. It was all so fast. A punch thrown here, a bolt of lightning there, I couldn't keep up with it all. Some how, Unknown dodged and blocked every attack. A punch thrown at his face. BLOCKED. A lightning bolt flashed at him. DODGED. He was so quick. It was... INHUMAN... And it was scary... A headache came on as my eyes raced around, trying to keep up with the on-going battle in front of me. To my surprise, Unknown appeared in front of me and whisked me away just as one of Shadow Yu's lightning bolts destroyed the spot that I was in a second ago. "You could have KILLED her..." Unknown hissed, the words stinging like a bite from a king cobra. " But I didn't, did I?" Shadow Yu replied smugly, pleased that he finally upset Unknown. Unknown placed me down on the bed and pivoted around to face Shadow Yu. Yu looked down at Unknown amused at his anger. "What's wrong mutt? I guess you're all bark and no bite." Shadow Yu taunted Unknown. Unknown shot himself at Shadow Yu, turning into a black beast the size of Shadow Yu.

I watched as the feuding duo thrashed about, destroying everything in their path. "This is madness." I told myself, terrified of what was unraveling before me. Unknown gripped Shadow Yu in his knife-toothed jaw. Shadow Yu yelled in pain making me cringe. I didn't want to see any of this. I didn't want to see anyone get hurt. Shadow Yu was hardly able to stand. Unknown began to charge an attack that I swore could destroy the world if Unknown wanted it to. Shadow Yu charged one of his signature lightning bolts. "This isn't good..." As the two attacks were launched at each other, I jumped into a near by armoire, just barely making it inside. The two attacks collided causing an explosion that destroyed the whole apartment. Luckily, I cast a spell protecting me and the armoire from the fatal blast. I tumbled out to see destruction all around me; The apartment, now crumbled bricks and stone. The wreckage sending my heartbeat sky-loft. " Unknown!" I cried out. " Shadow Yu!" my eyes began to water...

I saw a figure as the smoke cleared. I recognized the blonde hair swept to the side. "Unknown!" I began to cry as I ran towards the standing figure. As I drew near, Unknown looked up from a statical figure sprawled across the ground. I gasped at the sight. "S-Shadow Yu... Shadow Yu!" I dropped at his side. Unknown pivoted around. "I'll be taking my leave." he began. "See you later, cupcake." He blew a kiss at me and with that he was gone. I returned my gaze to Shadow Yu, who was now trying to sit up. "Kat, sweetheart, I'm sorry..." He met my gaze, eyes softening , realizing how much he worried me. Tears streamed down my face, getting worse with each moment. Those words stung me. Sweetheart... I replayed those words again and again in my mind.

Yu snapped causing a stack of televisions to fall in front of me. I stood up to leave. "Take this before you go..." Shadow Yu handed me a small box as I said goodbye and stepped through one of the stacked TVs, bringing me back to my world. The next day, I walked with the rest of the investigation team, talking to them about the ski trip they just came back from. Teddie paused, looking at my neck. " Kat, where'd you get that?" he began. "It looks like a-" I cut him off. "It's nothing..." I said as I tucked my shadow mask necklace into my sweater.~
