Chapter 16

Fallen Angel's Sacrifice

The slap catches us both off guard.

By the time I realize what I was doing it was already too late. My eyes go wide and I back away. I bump into Zane (who hadn't moved this whole time0 and turn my rage on him.

"This is your fault. You started all this!"

He looks surprised. And a bit angry.

"I was doing it for you."

"This goes against everything I would do!"

I point back at Ikuto, who had recovered from the slap.

"All of this goes against what I want. I just wanted to die knowing he stayed out of this!"

Ikuto looks up, surprised.

Zane sighs.

"You can't expect me to die for your crush. Honestly Akki, just because you're willing to die for him doesn't mean I am."

He narrows his eyes.

"Don't get in the way Akki, whether you approve or not isn't my concern. I'm not dying simply so you can have piece of mind."

He takes a step forward.

I tense up.

"Move Akki" he growls.

I roll my eyes.

"Or what?"

We stare each other down.

My mind was racing. Could I take Zane in a fight? I've never seen him fight before. All I know is he uses throwing knives…and he's got good aim. It's been a while since I've fought seriously, but I knew I couldn't hold back if he fought seriously. Ikuto stays behind me.

"Don't make me move you Akki" Zane says.

I smirk.

"Don't think you can Zane"

He sighs and holds his hand out. A knife appears. The blade reflected the crazy look in his eye. Ikuto seems surprised by the sudden turn of events.

"You're fighting now?" he says.

I sigh and look back at him. He seems a bit more wary of me now. But then again, I slapped him pretty hard.

"Ikuto…you might want to leave."

He narrows his eyes.

"Or what?"

"…or you might get hurt."

Zane laughs at that.

I turn back to him.

"What's so funny?"

He wipes his eye.

"The fact you're acting like you won't get hurt. You already know Akki…I'm stronger then you. I was designed to be."

I sigh and close my eyes and hold my right hand out. The temperature drops and a silver bow appeared in my open palm. Ice forms around my feet. I hadn't fought for a while, but I knew that the ice was normal. It happened every time I called on Kitsune's power. An ice arrow forms in my left hand and I aim it at Zane's throat. He brings his knife up and aims between my eyes. Ikuto comes up behind me.

"You're serious. You're fighting here?"

I sigh but don't move.

"Leave Ikuto…Zane's an expert with those knives…and you don't want him to hit you."

"You're acting like I can't protect myself"

"No offense…but…if you fought him head on…he'd kill you."

"Akki-

"Please just move. At least get out of the way."

He sighs and complies. He moves back. Zane's eyes follow him. I tighten my grip.

"I won't let you hit him"

Zane sneers.

"I figured that."

My arrow flies.

His knife rushes to meet it.

The two projectiles collide in mid air.

I jump back and nock another arrow. Zane runs after me and pulls another knife. I jump into a tree and fire. Zane dodges and it misses. He sneers and throws the knife. I down and the knife slices through the air where my head had just been. I hit the ground and fire another arrow. This one hits and buries itself into Zane's shoulder. Not what I had in mind but it's better then nothing. Zane stops and yanks the arrow out. Blood splatters onto the pavement. He snaps the arrow like a twig and throws the pieces on the ground. The two halves melt. I smile and another appears. I nock it and take aim.

"Break them all you want. I can make as many as I need."

Zane looks up and smiles.

"Bit early for boasting"

I roll my eyes.

"Whatever"

I let the arrow fly. It zips by Zane's face, leaving a small cut on his cheek.

He wipes the blood and I nock another.

"Why not kill me?"

I narrow my eyes.

"I'm not going to kill you. I'm simply going to discourage you."

He laughs.

"Yea right."

Zane pulls another knife.

I wait for him to shoot. As soon as the knife is air born, I'm dodging and then firing. I gulp and hope I was fast enough to pull it off. Zane sneers and throws. It slices through the air and flies right by me. I whip around and realize a bit late what he was aiming at. Ikuto who had been behind me this whole time. I had been so caught up with Zane I didn't even hear him back there. I drop my bow and run. I push him out of the way. The knife buries itself into my exposed side. Ikuto says something as we hit the ground. But the only thing I can hear is Zane laughing in the background.
