– The Match—
Saaa, I didn’t become a street rat just like that! I swing my beloved scythe effortlessly in the face of my opponent. The poor guy, he can hardly see where I am coming from. Gosh, and here I am, only using 40 % of my skill… Now… should I clip off his hair a bit on the right there? Or should I make him reveal a bit of skin over there? Plenty of girls around wanting to see some action here.. Nah… this is only a match, a national fighting contest, don’t go too overboard there.
Remember your goal.
Concentrate.
Don’t screw up.
I steal a glance at where the King is sitting while easily beating up my opponent. Wonder if he remembers me at all? Gosh, he is as handsome as ever. Man, this is hot. He could have picked a better day ne? Hum.. He is all bundled up in that suit.. wish he could shed off juuuust a bit of clothing. It is Summer isn’t it? I shudder at the thought of him with nothing but his bare skin…..
Wow! Close call there. Worthy opponent, you almost got me. But you are not good enough ne, though you are better than the last one…Let’s see, you are not very good at defending your left side, aren’t you? Ah, there you go. Yeah, just keep on hugging the ground, don’t bother standing up. If anyone stands in my way, they can just go and kiss the floor.
Gosh, this feels good. I haven’t stretched my arms and legs in a such a long time. I have been stealing but haven’t been fighting at all. Hn, what can those bullies do? I have already taught them the lesson of not to mess around with me! Hey, people don’t just call me shinigami for no reason at all ne?
Oh.. poor guy, I see you are trembling at the sight of my beloved weapon. You want me to go easy on you? Nah, sorry dude. I need to reserve my energy to fight the King. Have to finish you off in the shortest amount of time here. Normally I would have played with you like a cat with a mouse. But not today. I have heard how good King Yuy is and I have experienced how strong he is. I could still feel the warmth of his hands on my shoulder and on my arm…….
Wow, hey, now that was a good hit, you little shit, you caught me off guard there. A few swings from me and you are …… wow..already on the ground I see. Hmm that didn’t take long. Damn, should have done some pre-match warm ups…now I am going to need a massage.
Now, now, how many more of these guys are left? Ah, one more ne? Hum….this Chinese kid actually looks tough! Hn, with that little pony tail he actually looks kind of cute. Gosh, doesn’t he get a headache with that hairstyle? Hey, with that serious look on his face, his glare can match Heero’s…
Wow, pretty close there. Damn it, I should stop daydreaming ne. I shall enjoy the fruit of success later. The tasty…
Wow. Yo man, you just scratched my favorite shirt! Now I have to be careful with this guy. What was he rambling about? Injustice? What? Hey, I didn’t mean to…….…
*WACK!*
K’ so…. now the ground tastes like sweat and blood. Pain, just the way I love it.
I lift my head to meet with the cobalt eyes from the observing balcony. As cold as ever.
Do you remember me, Heero? I whisper and then jump back to my feet with a little push from my elbow.
"THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING!" I bark at the Chinese kid, still keeping my charming little grin on my face. My opponent appears to be taken by surprise and takes a hit from me. He back up a bit and yells some more of those injustice crap. Yeah! Take that!
Okay, I really REALLY have to end this soon. The sun is making me a bit dizzy there. My black clothes do not help me one bit. DAMN! Why am I so stupid to wear this fucking black outfit in this hot summer day? Baka! Dragging my scythe, I charge again. Shit! I missed him. He jumps pretty high up there ne? Wow, now the sun is a bit TOO bright there.
*WACK!*
Now you have done it. ARGH, a little blood mixes with a little sweat.. this is nothing new to me. I get that all the time. Now, how long has it been since I have been fighting? I feel hot. I feel my arms are so heavy. My body is so tired. No. It’s not over yet. Look at you. You are pretty beaten up over there too ne? I see your shoulder slanting over to the left a bit, a stream of red blood trickling down from your mouth. Yeah. I did do some damages to you too. You have to admit that.
*WACK!*
Damn, he is good. His movement is so fluid. He is like dancing out there in this fucking battle field. Look, I didn’t come all the way here just to be beaten by this guy…what is his name? Wufei?…...Um… have to stand my ground… have to fight Heero…even if I win this Wufei guy, would I have enough energy left to fight Heero? Um……I am so tired… I can hardly lift up my….
*WACK!*
Shit! Where the hell is he? Right? Left? No, top?
*WACK!*
K’so, I am shinigami, I am here to claim your fucking life here.
*WACK!*
Fuck you! I have to fight Heero. Get out of my way.
*WACK!*
Didn’t you fucking hear me?
*WACK!*
K’so………..
*WACK*
…………
*WACK*
……..
Ah, the darkness holds promises of rest and coolness…..
……..
Heero…...
Do you remember me?
……….
