Sword Hearts,chap.22: Gray Reality....
."Well,"said Chaiwing,"you might want to meet up with her early.Now would be perfect."There was a note of urgency in her voice as she said this.
"WHAT?!!?" Rai shouted,forgetting his distrust." Wh-why?! Whats happening to Ms.Kyoto?! Is she..." Then Rai saw that talking would probably just make matters worse,and bolted for the direction Kyoto had taken when they had split up."Wait!" Chaiwing called after him."Thats the wrong way!" She sighed,seeing that he was alreadly too far away to hear her."Teenagers...So impatient...." Then she turned her attention back to Ty."(Well,it'll be hours before he finds her.)" Chaiwing sighed disconsolently,for one minute becoming the perfact portrait of a concerned parent."(Come,Gendou-san.I've sent warriors from the temple to help out with the Fateless situation,so your services aren't required here,currently.Besides,Kyoto needs your help far more then this city does.)" And,as she started to walk in the direction Kyoto was supposed to be; her gaze fell on a deminishing patch of sun-light.

"That is," Chaiwing mermured,her stomach sick with worry and fore-boding; "if she's not already...." Her voice trailed off,as she shuddered that horrible thought away, tore her desolate gaze from the shrinking patch of sun-light, resisted the urge to cry,and moved on.

But as she had considered that one horrible possiblity of death,not even Chaiwing could've known how accurate that thought was; for,in the abandoned rubble of what was the center of town a mere 5 hours earlier,there Kyoto lay.Her hair messed and wet with sweat,her clothes (and skin) torn almost to a point of obscenety,and her throat postively burning with dehidration and exaustion.

Her right hand was held up and tightly clenched in a fist,the 4 three-foot-long silver blades jetting from her knuckles,and the edges piercing the surface of the white,masculine neck belonging to the pale,omnious,ageless demon on top of her.Under different circumstances this wild,black-haired,fair,ivory-fanged "prince of darkness",Dashimay Malluste, would've looked as angelic as his serene,innoecnt electric-blue eyes suggested he was.But as he struggled against the weight of Kyotos blades,the death-threat of which was the only thing that kept his claw-like hand from closing around Kyotos neck even tighter; he looked every bit the sadistic,malicious demon he was.

Dashimay was covered in sweat as well,his hair was also messed,but unlike Kyoto the majority of the blood on him was that of his victums.True,the sleeves of his shirt were torn,and his skin has been slashed and busted-up in various places,but for the most part,he had gotten the better of the fight.

At the moment,however,it looked as though neither one was getting the better of the fight.In fact, it looked as though there wouldn't even be a winner/surviver anytime soon,unless either somones head (Dashimays) got slashed off,or somone(Kyoto) got choked to death,within the next 10 minutes.

Now, you'd think in a situation like this,there would be alot more tension,but appairently not,because suddenly,out of nowhere,Dashimai chuckled.His smile was one of those ill-natured,cruel expressions that made people think-"Wow.If looks could kill..." And his voice was one of those "deep,but not too deep",sexy voices that almost always seemed to have a note of arogance and superiority hidden in it."Why do you try so hard...?" Dashimay asked,softly; peering into Kyotos eyes,trying to find a hint of apprehension or weakiness in those dull,light brown orbs."Why do you try so hard,only to walk away with nothing but the hallow existance of a wanderer and a mercinary?" His sneer relaxed abit into something that,in a way, almost resambled a real smile; a kind smile.He was pleased with what he saw- the light in Kyotos eyes,along with the remnents of any any out-ward signs of her resolve, were starting to fade. All she needed now was a gentle push over the edge,and she would be finished.
