"It would be best if you watched your tongue." Rin smirked wiping the blood of his cheek with his finger tip, "Because I have a very bad short temper." He chuckled.
Yuugi pushed his hand onto one side of his hip that had been sliced by Rin. Blood were still pouring from him. There was so much blood making Yuugi wonder if he was going to die soon.
"Don't worry, I missed your vital points." Rin explained as it seems like he had read Yuugi's mind. He walked up to the boy and placed both arm on top of Yuugi's shoulder, "You are the legendary Hakuhou. Unlike that man, you will not die easily." Yuugi's eyes widen and remembered An. He looked at the dead man of the floor and his eyes begin to water again. Rin chuckled, "Being that weak….to think he was Shuri's servant." Rin licked the blood of his fingertip and then something popped inside Rin's body, "Ah…ah…" Yuugi looked up at the boy with confusion, "Wh..what…my body…."
The door to the room suddenly swung opened, "An, Yuugi, what happened?" Shuri cried out and she stopped in her track when she sees blood and her beloved friend was lying on top of it. "AN! WHAT'S WRONG? WAKE UP AN!" She shook him gently.
"A valiant effort but all for nothing, you're too late…." Shuri's eyes widen at the familiar voice that spoke up, "Because of this, the princess will have nobody to watch after her…."
"I'm…I'm sorry Shuri." Yuugi said as he held under capture by Rin," An…he tried to save me…."
Burning flame lit up in Shuri's eyes as she furious grinded her teeth, "…did you do this?"
A little cocky smile crept up on Rin's face, "And what if I did?"
Shuri stood up abruptly and pulled out her sword, "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU RIN!" She declared.
"Good, really that is a great face princess." Rin grinned, "A face worn for the failure of a man."
"NO! SHURI RUN AWAY!" Yuugi cried out desperately, "He is too strong!"
All the windows suddenly flung rapidly as a gust of wind blew around the room. Rin's black hair stood up as he eyes grew sharper and black veins can be seen on one side of his face, "Sorry to disappoint you but as I am today, I cannot lose."
Meanwhile….
"Where are you going Yami?" Kotomi questioned, watching as Yami was heading out.
"Going to check on Yuugi," Was his reply.
"Isn't Rin supposed to bring Hakuhou?" Daichi asked in an irritated tone.
Jun frowned at Yami, "Our plan to bring Hakuhou here, it will fail if you make a move."
Yami looked bored, "I couldn't care less about your plan, I have not been a part of it since the beginning." He explained and was heading out when he noticed a familiar bird flying toward him, "Anibus!" Yami caught the injured bird in his hands, "Anibus? What happened?"
"Kyaa…ka…."
"Did anything happen?" Kotomi asked as she steps outside to see what the commercial was.
Yami with his huge black wings spread out glared at the girl with Anibus fluttering slightly beside him, "It would seem that you didn't look after your dog."
"What is his problem?" Daichi muttered as the three students watched Yami fly away into the night sky.
Kotomi had a funny feeling inside her, "We are going as well…." She ordered.

Shuri was on her knees with her sword keeping her up, "As expected, the four leaders are worlds apart from the small fry of the school. And of those four leaders it is obvious to me that you are ranked first or second."Shuri tries to catch her breath and throwing the angry looks toward the boy, "I'm sorry, but I am bored of this already." A sphere of power was charging within his hands.
"WATCH OUT!" Yuugi cried out and Shuri clenched her eyes when Rin threw the power at her. Blood spluttered.
Yuugi sighed in relief when the power was stop by a person, "YAMI!" Yuugi's eyes brighten in delight and Yami lowers his hands.
"You will return my Yuugi….." Yami ordered.
A small gust of tornado formed as Kotomi and the others appeared, "RIN! What exactly is going on here?" She demanded.
Rin hissed in pain pulling the black feather that had struck his hand, "Our time alone has met its capacity. Looks like it is time for a location change." Rin grinned and his wings spread out taking into the sky.
"YAMI!"
"WAIT…..!" Yami yelled at Rin and fly after the boy.
"Ugh….." Shuri groaned and Kotomi ran to the girl.
"SHURI!"
Shuri shook her head, "Don't worry about me….An….."
"No good…." Jun explained checking over the body, "He's not breathing…."
Shuri's eyes sadden and she struggled over to An's dead body. She touched his cheek and a drop of tear fell from her eye, "I….I hadn't even told him how I felt yet…..An…"
Kotomi watched her friend sadly, "Straight through the heart….instant death." She could hear Jun whispered to Daichi.
Shuri gripped onto her sword, "I…I will never forgive him…I WILL KILL HIM. I WILL KILL HIM WITH THSES HANDS OF MINE."
"Wait…wait right there!" Kotomi ordered, "If you go right now you can't win. Kill him next time."
Shuri did not listen but kept on walking, "It doesn't matter, just stay out of my way."
Kotomi's eyes widen and a snake attacked Shuri, "Kya! WHAT ARE YOU DOING KOTOMI..! MOVE!"
"Is An that important to you?"
"Eh…?"
"With those eyes…even though you know you will lose, you still want to fight?" Kotomi's body shook, "I can't forgive you…you want to die for An…but I won't let you! I can't let you do that…." Shuri stared at her friend in shock who have tears falling down her face.
"Kotomi?
"Hey…isn't Kotomi supposed to hate Shuri?" Daichi whispered to Jun who shrugged his shoulder.
Kotomi wiped her eyes, "We were friends before…I was friends with Shuri first….but…why do you….? Up to this point, you only care for An…." Shuri's eyes widen.
"Kotomi, you….haven't grown up one bit." Shuri finally answered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
Shuri closed her eyes and smiled, "Not only for An….I would also fight for your sake." She gripped her sword tighter and Kotomi looked at her friend in shock, "If I need too, I will give my life for your sake as well…." A hand was held out, "Will you….help me? Somehow is seems that I can't do this by myself."
Shuri smiled up at Kotomi who frowned, "Hmph! It's strange that you really want to die. With that speech…you can't say it to anyone else." And she took Shuri's hand.
"Yeah…" And the old friendship between them became stronger.

"YAMI!"
Yami flew closer toward Rin and Yuugi. Yami's hand reached out to Yuugi, "Take it Yuugi…." Their hands slightly touched before Yuugi's disappeared within the clouds. "Yuugi?" Yami looked around his surrounding, "Where are you Yuugi?" He called out.
"Look at that! The guy is still alive!" A little boy voice was hard and Yami turned toward the source of voice. Four boys around ten surrounded a small six year old kid who was on the ground which was a very familiar scene to Yami. "This annoying demon deserves to be bully!" Another boy cried out and they harshly kicked the poor small boy. Yami watched on, "The crow with no wings is disgusting." With a few kicks they took off with their own set of wings.
Yami was about to walked away when the small boy spoke up, "Is there….anyone there? It doesn't matter who it is…." A very familiar childlike voice said and Yami's eyes widen, "It doesn't matter who it is…as long as there's someone with me I'm happy…." The badly beaten small Yami said with tears running down his face.
"Yami…Yami…!" Yuugi shouted when he sees no sign of Yami anyway. Weren't he was following them a few minutes ago?
"He still hasn't caught up? The student council president isn't so mighty after all." Rin chuckled and Yuugi looked worried, "I heard if a demon doesn't have enough power they will never reach the top of the mountain. The mountain decides who can reach the top but….I can already see the top of the mountain!" Rin smirked.
The two reached the top and Rin dropped Yuugi to the ground, "Wa…this is great! What a nice view…" Rin said with admiration, "Right now I'm standing on top of the world. At this moment, I'm stronger than anyone else…!"
"What's so good about it….?"
"Eh?" Rin looked at Yuugi who had spoken.
"Standing on top of the world and stronger than anyone else is that….really that important?" Yuugi argued, "To me, this stuff isn't important or admirable at all! I can't see any bit of you right now that is blessed!"
"What do you understand!" Rin said furiously grabbing Yuugi by the neck and choking him, "Living in a peaceful place free without any worries…you don't know what it feels like!" His grip tightens on Yuugi's neck, "It hurts doesn't it? But to compare this to when I was small..." Yuugi struggled between Rin's hands, "My hands…are very dirty. So what if I kill another? It's not such a big deal! In fact it's not even scary…." He threw Yuugi to the ground when he noticed a fog surrounded them. His eyes widen when he sees a familiar little boy running away.
"There are catching up, RUN!" Yuugi curiously wondered why there was a little boy up here on the mountain. Two huge men came chasing the boy and eventually caught him, "CAUGHT HIM!"
"NOOOOO…." The boy cried out.
"RIN HELP HIM PLEASE!" Yuugi pleaded but the black haired-boy seems to freeze up, "RIN!"
"Troublesome brat! Don't even think about escaping!" One of the men slapped him in the face and dragged the boy away.
The boy turned toward Yuugi and Rin's direction. "Help me…big brother…." The little boy pleaded with his hand reach out. Yuugi was shocked when Rin screamed, "Where's the other pest? The brat's hiding somewhere, find him!"
"Big….brother…."
Rin screamed again, "Rin…RIN?" Yuugi asked in concern.
"I….it's not that I didn't want to save you….really. But to them my strength was nothing." Rin cried out with his hands covering his head, "If….if I was caught that time what would have happen to me…."
A strange man walked up to Rin, "Hey kid, do you want to buy one? You look really hungry. If you can help me with a job, I'll give you this bread." The man grinned, "It's not very difficult; just bring those kids over there here." The man instructed and pointing to a group of kids that have appeared.
"What do you want with those kids?" Yuugi angrily asked.
"Yes….I'll do whatever it is…any job…." Rin muttered still in some kind of trance.
"RIN!"
Suddenly four huge Chinese chariots appeared in the street and princesses and princes were seated in them. Little Shuri's chariots walked past Rin, "That's too cruel…." Rin mumbled and clenches his fist, "Why….why is it only me who suffers like this? It's all because of them." Rin spatted at the royal families, "Those wings….must have! FOUR GOD POWER! I MUST HAVE IT…!" Rin yelled out in frustration.
Yuugi blinked his eyes. So everything he just had saw was all an illusion? "Rin….! Please control yourself! This is all your….."
A beautiful long black hair woman appeared in front of Rin, "You are….you are…." Rin was speechless, "…no way….mo….mother?"
Rin's mother laughed, "It's not easy trying to find you son." Rin hugged his mother and tears feel from his eyes, "I'm sorry, I've always thought of you so….mother….we always be together." Rin closed his eyes. A long sword appeared from Rin's mother arm.
Yuugi's eyes widen, "DANGER! RIN!" Blood spluttered and Yuugi gasped.
"Your wrong mother…I killed you again." Rin said starring at the dead body and his arm's sword, "It's the same as that time...that time mother you never loved me. That's why I killed you…that's why with my own hands."
"Rin…" Yuugi whispered.
"Thank-you Hokuhou, coming to Mt Hourai isn't easy but now that I'm here seeing this...no wonder this place is legendary…the things that you have forgotten or don't want to remember appears right in front of you." Rin explained, "Thanks to that, I now know what type of person I truly am. Or you could from that nightmare come out completely unharmed with no problems."
Yuugi gasped, "Yes, and that type of thing I have already finished." Yami said setting his foot on top of the mountain.
