Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ Undistinguished UnderScore ❯ Blood Shed Tears ( Chapter 16 )

"Ano…you sure this is the place..?" Omi look around, slightly wary of the location of their mission.

"Hai…this is the place..even if it doesn't seem like it.." Said Ken as he scanned the area. "I believe that's the building up ahead.." Ken pointed strait ahead at a shadowy, rather massive brick building in the distance.

"Well, were not getting anything done just standing here. Let's go." Said Yohji, as he firmly placed a hand on Ken's shoulder, who looked back at his friend and comrade and nodded in agreement. All the guys proceeded quietly, each one keeping there eyes open for anything "Out of the ordinary" or even "Too Ordinary."

"Ne.. Abyssinian..it's to still, to quiet.." Said Ken as the sound of his own breathing made him uneasy, they were almost to the building already.

"Hai..Siberian.." As Aya spoke, a bright, yet very quick glint caught Yohji's attention.

"Nani.." Yohji positioned himself "Ne..Mina! Over there!" As Yohji spoke, he saw the silvery glint again, only this time it came at him. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Yohji got lightly scraped on the face by what seemed like an invisible source. He slowly rose his hand to touch the blood that lightly ran down his face.

"There!" Shouted Omi as he threw one of his knifes in the direction where he saw movement in the shadows. Omi watched his knife fly, only to see it suddenly stop and hover for a few seconds then slowly turn the opposite way it was headed. "..N..Nani?!" His knife suddenly came rushing back at him, faster than he had sent it. But Aya was faster, but not by much. Just before the knife was about to inject it's self into Omi's heart, Aya managed to repel it with the prized blade of his Katana. The boys quickly grouped together in a circle, their backs to each other.

"Looks like this was the right place after all!" Proclaimed Ken with a slight smile on his face.

"Show your face!" Shouted Aya as he eyes searched the shadows. "Only cowards attack from a safe distance!"

"So now I'm a coward now am I?" The boys all tensed. Ken drew his Bugnuck, Aya positioned his sword, Omi drew another knife and Yohji tightened his wire.

"That's a woman's voice! Our target is female?!" Yohji seemed shocked as he eyes shot toward where the voice had originated from, though the form of there opponent still hidden.

"Good Evening Boys! I believe you were expecting me?"

Aya growled "Show yourself already! If you had any decency would have done so by now!"

"As you wish.." The shadowy form slowly stepped into plain view. Zeva stood with one hand on her hip, the other occupied with silver wire. Her eyes glowed of blood red and craved for just that, blood. She smirked, and showed her fangs her entire appearance was unlike any of the guys had seen her look like, even if they had only seen her once. Ken stood in shock, he could feel his legs starting to fail him as he began sink to the ground, Yohji pulling him up by his jacket and forcing him to stand.

"This..can't be happening…That's not who I think it is.." Said Ken as he looked back at the woman who stood before him and his comrades.

Yohji glanced down at Ken then back up at Zeva, his attention drawn to what was wrapped around her right hand. "Holy Shit! That's my wire!"

Hearing Yohji's words Zeva took her hand that was occupied with the replica of his wire and loosened it and wrapped some of it around her other hand and pulled tight, never flinching. They all watched as blood dripped from her hands down onto the concrete, and yet she still pulled tighter, the pain not registering in her brain. "It's also what gave you that nice cut…"

Yohji blinked in shock "And I thought I had bad taste in women…This babe is crazy!"

In the midst of everything, Ken had fallen to his knees. His hands implanted on the ground, small tears streaming down his face. "I…I can't do this!"

Zeva glanced down at Ken, and released the wire from her hands "That's to bad…because I can.." With her words she lunged at the one she faced, Aya. She thrust back her trench coat and drew her Katana, only to have her blade met with Aya's. The others scattered to give Aya his room to fight properly and help him from a distance. Zeva gritted her teeth, her eyes insane and lost in blind fury. She pressed hard on Aya's blade. "Die…Die …Die …Die!!!" She broke apart from his sword and quickly slashed at him. Her blade made contact with Aya across the chest, leaving a bloody slash mark that ran down in uneven streams on his pale skin. Aya cringed and staggered mildly, but recovered quickly. "I'll kill you…and I'll enjoy it…the feeling of my blade being lost inside your body.." Aya glared at her words, and rushed at her once again his speed driven by anger and controlled vengeance. He slammed into her, knocking her to the ground, her eyes dilated instantly as she felt her back hit the rough surface of the concrete, her breaths uneven and spastic as she tried to regain her breath. In the act of her sudden defeat, Aya pressed the tip of his blade against her throat. But her found himself evenly matched as she mimicked his moves and found his chin at her sword point. She steadily held the glinting tip of her Katana to his throat and smirked. "So..who's going to move first?"

"Abyssinian!" Yohji thrust his wire toward Zeva, who nonchalantly shoved out her arm. Yohji watched in a dazed shock as his wire wavered, hovered and was suddenly sent back to him at an inhumane speed. Yohji planted his forearm in front of him and flinched as he felt the wire strike cloth of his jacket and bite into his flesh as it wrapped around his arm. "..K..Kuso!! HOW IS SHE DOING THAT?!"

Seeing Aya remotely distracted Zeva made her move, she kicked her foot up to impale Aya in the chin, sending his head backwards along with a spouting stream of blood from his lip. Seeing her chance she rolled under his sword point, the tip scratching the soft flesh under her collarbone. She rushed to stand, her coordination almost inhumane as she scrambled to her feet, locking her sword in position. She watched Aya, who stood with her same stance a few feet away. She smirked, and her eyes glowed a deep red impersonating the red stain that ran across the moon. She went for Aya again, but he skillfully dodged to the side. Zeva, seeing an opening, spun her sword around to her hilt and impaled Aya in the side, slitting her leather gloves open and coating her hilt in her thick red liquid as she watched Aya slam into a near by tree. A thundering crack was heard as chunks and fragments of the trunk splinted around Aya's body. He cringed and clenched his eyes shut as he slowly slid down the tree, a bloody imprint that reflected the shape of a cross leaving an eternal memory upon the striped bark. Once on the ground, He fought to keep his vision, but he could feel himself slowly slipping and darkness cluttering his eyesight.

"Abyssinian!!" The other three men rushed forward to there wounded comrade and leader. Zeva stood in a crouching position before starting up. She slowly slipped back her trench coat and gripped the hilt, moving the blade back inside it's confined shelter and rotated herself to look at the other three men who stood around Aya's limp form.

"whose next..?"

Omi spun around to face Zeva, who peered at him in a crazed fashion "YOUR TO AFRAID TO FIGHT US ALL AT ONCE! AREN'T YOU?!"

Zeva smirked "I'm not afraid, you were the ones that scattered when I lunged for your comrade."

"I'm next…" Yohji slowly rose from Aya's side. He strung out his wire, Zeva did the same. Omi pulled out a dart and gripped it tight, he was ready to back up Yohji if he needed it. Ken sat by Aya's limp form and cringed with eternal pain.

"This isn't Zeva..this isn't her!"

"Even if it isn't…Siberian…We've got to fight her for our own survival if nothing else..if we don't she'll just pick us off one by one..no regrets.." Yohji tightened his wire before stepping forward. He shot his wire at her and she jumped in the air somersaulting as she hovered before landing in front of him. She slowly rose to meet his eyes, her gaze more distant than they were when she fought Aya. Yohji lunged and quickly wrapped his wire around her neck and pulled tight, streams of blood leaving her body. She reached up to try and loosen the wire that was cutting of her circulation, clamping her hands around her throat that reeked of fresh tainted blood. Yohji jerked harder, thrusting her head back. This reminded him all too much of Asuka, flashes of her death playing through his mind. Lost in his gruesome memory, he felt something cold and sticky around his neck, it was her wire. She had mirrored his move, yet her wire was coated and strained with her blood. Yohji gasped and before he could react, Zeva slammed her knee into his stomach causing him to hunch over. She then jerked him down and impaled him on her leg. They both released each other and staggered backwards, Yohji could feel one of his ribs snap and chip as he wiped the small flow of blood. Zeva came at him and grabbed his wrists wrapping her slimy wire around Yohji's arms.

"K..Kuso!! She's Fast!" Cursed Yohji. Zeva gripped his arms and looked into his eyes and smirked as she slowly began to burn through his clothing.

"N..Nani?! You're…Your Burning me! ITAI!!!!" Yohji cringed as he felt his skin began to blister and pop from the heat.

"Balinese!" Omi screamed and unleashed four of his lethal darts at once, all of which implanted themselves in a row into an arm of the distracted Zeva. She cringed and lurched back away from Yohji, at that moment Yohji was able to untangle his arms from Zeva's wire. Zeva staggered backwards and looked down at her arm that had been injected with darts, she gripped each one tightly, and watched them as she slid each one out of her flesh and held them, the tips coated in her fluid. She slowly turned to Omi.

"Are these yours..?" She said as she held up each of the blood stained darts between her fingers.

Omi glared "Hai!"

Zeva's voice was still and imposing "..big mistake.." She thrusted Omi's darts at his direction, and with the use of her Telekinesis, Omi found himself pinned up to the trunk of a tree by his own weapon. "Keep your toys at home kid…this is a real fight."

Ken gaped "B..Bombay! Daijoubu?!!!"

"H..Hai..Siberian..demo..I think one went through my arm.."

"Hang on! I'll get you down!" Ken rushed over to his wounded friend. Sure enough a dart had skillfully injected it's self through Omi's arm and into the tree. Blood ran down the trunk of the tree and watered the roots that slept in the ground. Ken reached up and pulled out the darts one by one, leaving the one that had hit Omi's arm for last. Ken caught Omi as he fell from where he had been pinned and gently set him on the ground next to Aya who hadn't moved from where he had fallen. Ken looked up at Yohji, who still fought Zeva but he was loosing his momentum and Ken knew if Yohji fell, he'd have to fight this bloodthirsty woman.

Yohji dodged Zeva's wire again and rolled to come up behind her. He diligently wrapped his wire around her arms and jerked her arms out and up. A loud ear cringing pop was heard as he snapped her shoulders out of socket. Zeva cringed as she felt the sensation of her arms leave her. Yohji leaned in and whispered.

"Give up now…I can tell by your eyes..this isn't you…I don't want to kill you.."

Zeva smirked and gritted her teeth, her eyes shot open and she glanced back at Yohji's who's grip never loosened from the wire "To bad I can't say the same.." Yohji suddenly felt the art of gravity go against him. He looked down to find himself floating above the ground and only getting higher. Zeva lifted him up over her head and let Yohji hover over her while her arms were still attached to his wire, she smirked up at Yohji. "Telekinesis is a bitch..isn't it?" With that she widened her eyes to give her a more crazed look and threw Yohji with her all for force, unbinding herself from Yohji's wire at the right moment, a sickening pop and twist was heard as the thrust she gave slammed her shoulders back into socket. Yohji flew for a few feet before his body impaled the ground, he struggled to get up, but failed miserably as his body crumpled to the ground.

"Balinese!!!!" Ken could feel hot tears consuming his eyes as he watched Yohji lay there motionless on the ground. His eyes shifted to Zeva who laced her fingers together and raised her arms up to stretch. She slowly lowered her hands to her side and turned to look at Ken. She smirked as she looked at Ken who shook with misery as he watched Zeva clench her hand to only see a Bugnuck was attached to it.

Ken stepped forward his voice shaky, his eyes stinging with pain. He couldn't look at her like this, with her hands covered in the blood of his comrades and friends "I don't want to fight you!"

"Alright, then stand there. If you don't move very much you'll die quickly and won't feel but a tiny bit of pain.." Zeva raised her Bugnuck that glinted off the lunar light that was tainted with a red ring. Her eyes were deep, and almost black. She didn't even recognize Ken anymore. If she had ever to begin with.

"Zeva! Don't do this! I'm begging you!"

Zeva only glared at the pleading Ken who stood in front of her "I have no sympathy for tears…" She thrust her body at Ken who quickly unsheathed his Bugnuck to block her, each one of there weapons digging into each other's hand.

"Zeva! Wake-Up! Zeva!" She pushed herself off Ken and slashed at him, the very tips scrapping against Ken's face. Ken cringed as he felt the burning sensation hit his face. He fingered the cuts on his face in shock as he looked at Zeva who stood only a few feet away.

"Give up now! Unless you want to end up like the rest of you comrades!"

Ken glanced around at his friends that all lay defeated on the ground. "I can't do that Zeva.." He felt tears building in his eyes again and stings his open wounds.

"So be it…then you'll die like the rest.." She lunged for Ken again, aiming for his throat. He slammed his Bugnuck up to block her but she pressed harder. Ken could feel his hand slowly starting to break under her pressure. He cringed and pushed back with just as much force closing his eyes in agony, it was Kase all over again.

"Yamero!!! ZEVA!" Ken's eye's shot open, only to catch the glint of Yohji's wire. He suddenly felt Zeva's pressure quickly lessen, and heard her gag. He looked at Zeva who stood with a battered Yohji fighting to hold Zeva with his wire who tugged, jerked and struggled as she tried to keep pressing forward for Ken's throat. The wire cut into her flesh from all angles and ripped open her veins.

"Yohji!! Yamero!! Yamero Yohji! She'll kill herself if she keeps struggling like that!!!" Ken pleaded with Yohji to release Zeva from his wire, but Yohji didn't listen. Out of the shadows came Aya, who quickly ran toward Zeva with a bared Katana. Ken caught Aya out of the corner of his eye and quickly ran in front of Aya's blade, catching it with his Bugnuck.

"Aya!! What are you doing?!"

Aya glared at Ken and shoved him out of the way "Move! Ken!" Ken tumbled to the ground only to latch onto Aya's legs, causing him to fall.

"I won't let you kill her!!"

"Shitai! Aya! I can't hold her forever!!!" Screamed Yohji who still fought with Zeva who was now trying to gash his throat open.

"Yamero Ken!! Let me go!" Aya kicked Ken off of his legs, quite literally. Aya quickly stood up and ran toward Zeva one last time. Ken lifted his head up from the ground only to see Aya thrust his Katana at Zeva.

"Aya!! YAMERO!!" Ken screamed, tears began to pour without him realizing it. He quickly picked himself up and ran toward Zeva to see her fall to her knees in shock, then fall face first into the ground. Ken shoved Aya out of the way and nealed down at her weak and bleeding form. He cradled her gently in his arms, he could still feel her breathing under him but he didn't know how long that would last. He jerked his head around at Yohji and Aya and glared viciously at them.

"How could you!!"

"Ne..Ken..she's not dead.." Said Yohji as he relocated his wire back in its proper place. Ken blinked, and shifted his eyes towards Aya's clean blade.

"N..Nani..?"

"I struck her with the back of my hilt in a pressure point to knock her out.." Said Aya calmly as he sheathed his Katana back. Omi calmly walked up and placed a hand on Ken's shoulder who stared in amazement at Aya. Ken smiled and a few more tears streamed down his face and Aya turned his back to him.

"Arigato…Aya-Kun.." Ken turned back to Zeva and cradled her head against his bloody cheek and gently whispered "Arigato.."
