Woot! New story!
Kiss of Death
I am the Darkness
Silver hair the color of the moon blew across the shadow figures face as she went to answer her cell phone. The annoying ringing of 'Real Emotion' playing over and over. "I'm here. He has yet to show himself though."
"Kanna, this guy is big! He's after your title and our clan! How can you be so calm about this battle? It's a battle to the death!" The voice yelled from the other end as Kanna held the phone at arms length. "Stop being so stubborn, arrogent, and oblivious to the dangers! If the police come, you could be turned in! If he kills you... Put this phone by your ear young lady!" Kanna tuned the person out until he was finished yelling.
"Finished? Good. Look, I'll be fine. It's my place to battle for our clan and the police wont find us. They are not nearly as smart as they used to be. Now, I must leave. Ja ne*."
"Kanna! Remeber to put the blindfold on! This guy deals Light attacks, one hit near you and your blind. Also remember...." Turning the phone off, the shadow girl put it in her pocket and pulled out the blindfold. Her small, slender frame slide into a sitting position under a tree while tieing the hated thing arouned her forehead and red eyes. They always made a fuss about her eyes and the damage the Light Clan* could do to her. Teachers and students mocked her of them and the scars that marked her arms and legs.
"They have no idea what goes on in the shadows, behind the walls of there own sight." she snarled and pulled out her Golden Oriole katana*. The hilt of the katana was etched so that it formed an elabrate bird in white, the same color as her skin. Bluntly, Kanna was an albino. Her pale apperance with the black scared most of her opponates and classmates away. Her theiveing ways and tricks didn't help much either. She grinned devilshly and turned her head towards a nearby bush.
"If you wish to fight, come on out. Danet of the Light Clan." A throwing star shot out of the bush and nearly hit her head, making her grin. A man followed at the same speed sword raised in attack. Smiling even more, the shadow girl disapeard and reapeard several feet away.
"Kanna, Ruler of the Darkness Clan*, Queen of Shadows, winner of the Behind the Wall battles**." He held his Damascus Zatoichi* out in front of him, eyeing the Shadow Clan girl through his brown hair and green eyes. "I expected someone much older to be a ruler of such high status, never thought I would be fighting a small girl."
"I take offense in that. I'm sixteen." She really wasn't fazed by the insult, Kanna was used to them. She was smaller then most girls her age, only standing at five feet one inch. Even with the heeled boots she wore, they didn't make much difference. The only adult thing about her was her resposibliuty as a ruler. "You came here to fight my Clan, so I expect a good fight." She felt the boy's blade energy charge for her, very aware that he was of the Light Clan now. They were always very silient with attacks. She brought her katana up to block his attack.
"You fight blindfolded, wearing heels and a full length skirt and cloak? This must be a jest." snarled Danet, his own cloths were light weight. Only consiting of a white tunic with the Light Clan symbol, a pair of blue jeans, and boots. He didn't know why she fought at such a disadvanage.
"You think that this is a disadvantage? Ha! This is the Darkness Clan battle uniform. Though, I'd kill to wear my normaly cloths." Smirking, Kanna whirled around and brought her sword down. The cloths she wore were odd for a battle. Knee high boots doned her legs with a black skirt that had slites up the side. The cloak hid her upper half, hair and head.
Danet parried the blade and lunged forwards. Her fighting style was odd, none like the japanise style that he was told her worked with. "Are you sure that you are Kanna?"
Kanna jumped in the air and recited. "I see Darkness, I live in Darkness..." She slashed his arm from shoulder to wrist. "I am the Darkness*." Disapearing once again, her foot to connected with his head. "Enough proof?" Danet didn't move, her foot pressed his held slightly from behind.
"I suppose you were." He spun around and shoved his sword into her stomiac. "But not anymore."
Kanna's mouth fell open as blood dripped from the corner. "Your not bad at all, guess I was to cocky about this....batt...le..." her body fell backwords on the ground like a rag doll. She was small enough to be one. The dawn light shone brightly over both of them. Kanna would have gone blind.
"I'm the Darkness now." He knelt down, removing her blindfold, her red eyes glazed over in death. Then, he lightly kissed her forehead. In the Light Clan, when a woman was slained, the men kissed them to bid them farwell on the jorny to either Heaven of Hell.
Dante stood back up and turned, only to stop. A glint of silver apeard below is adomin. He coughed and fell forwards, landing on his knees. The girl he thought dead, pulled her sword out of him and walked to kneel in front. "Now, lets refrace that, I am still the Darkness. You are still the Light. Dante till Montro." Dante looked in her eyes, that had glazed over but not in death. She had gone blind. Slowly, he fell forwards, meeting the arms of Kanna. She put her shoulder under his and hawld him up, taking both baldes with them. "Best get you to a docters..." Kanna turned her phone on, wiped the blood from her mouth and walked towards the parkinglot.
"Seb, get the car ready to head to my house."
