Myth to legend to reality~~ Part 26
Yami looked up to see a mirror image of herself, well, almost. “What the hell are you doing still walking?!”

We both take the hardest punches,
And collect black eyes just to prove it.
Still we pass by just like strangers,
And we speak just like the closest enemies.

“Hn, I’m not defeated that easily,” Hiei scoffed. His hands rested against the wall, one on each side of Yami’s head. She growled menacingly deep in her throaght (sp?), a low hiss escaped her lips, she beard her teeth in agitation. Unknown to Hiei, Yami his her hands behind her back, each one holding a razor sharp dagger. “You will not escape this time Yami Yasha.” Hiei seethed, narrowing his eyes at her. Yami took her eyes off of him and noticed a trail of dried blood that came from the back of his head.

Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can fall into the night unscarred.
Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can never let it go this far.

‘Good, he’s injured, that just makes my job a bit easier.’ “Cheyenne, run ahead, I’ll catch up later.”

“But-“

“Just go!” Yami ordered, sending a deadly look to Cheyenne. She nodded and took off.

“What don’t like an audience?”

“No not really, they just get in the way sometimes.” Yami said, smirking.

Somehow my words render useless;
Still I pull my lip down to my chest just to show you how my jaw is,
Tired from waiting to say the things that you should hear.

Hiei pushed off of the wall, grabbing his katana in a swift movement. Yami just stood where she was, still smirking cockily, her hands still behind her back. “Is it a fight you want? Then it’s a fight you’ll get!” She took her hands out from behind her, showing him her deadly daggers. They gleamed unnaturally with every movement she made.

Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can fall into the night unscarred.
Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can never let it go this far.

Hiei rushed at her, chopping her in half, or so he thought. He only cut through an after image of her. Yami, on the other hand, ducked down till the blade of Hiei’s katana was literally an inch away from the tip of her nose. In a blink of the eye, she pushed the blade away, and stabbed Hiei in the stomach with both daggers. Hiei eyes widened at the unexpected piercing. The daggers were shoved so deep, Yami could feel Hiei’s warm crimson blood pour out of the wound and stain her hands.

She smirked at seeing the look of pain written all over Hiei’s face, till he glared at her. She frowned when he managed to be able to stand up straight. “Tell me if this hurts.” She mocked, twisting the daggers slightly. Hiei’s eyes widened again as he leaned over, a trickle of blood coming out the corner of his mouth. Yami stood up straight, smirking. In 3 swift movements, she kneed him in the chest with her right knee, kicked him in the groin with the same foot, jumped up, and kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the ground. BAM! He hit the ground, hard.

After all, we’re still the same inside.
But these empty promises seem to never change.
There’s a smile on my face
And it’s 2:55 a.m.

Yami kneeled near him, putting her face literally inches away from his. He could her warm breath on his face, as his own became labored from losing so much blood. “And this is why you never mess with an assain.”

But this cramp in my wrist puts me back to sleep
Till it all comes around again.
With a closed fist
With a closed fist
With a closed fist
With a closed fist

“But….why…?” This puzzled her for a second, then.

“No matter what happened in the past or present between you or I, I shall not regret my revenge in the future.” With that said, she got up from her rather intimate position. She flicked her right wrist, causing the daggers to vanish. “I hope you rot in Hell” and she vanished. The last thing Hiei saw before passing out was the marvelous multi-colored rose embedded in Yami’s braid.

Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can fall into the night unscarred.
Woa, in the shadows of our life,
We can never let it go this far.
In the shadows of our life!

The song in the chapter is "In the shadows" by Story of the Year. Not much goin' on lately, been goin' to the local lake with my friend Kinoki (nickname she has) lately. It's our place to hang out and chat. It's nice and gloomy today again. ^^ I'm so happy, I get a week off for the holidays! Who else is off for the week, just wondering.
