Blood

The cold wind was blowing through their faces.The air in their lungs got harder to breathe with every passing second as both of them were looking at eachother with bulging eyes.

In a quick moment,a light appeared in Takada's eyes and a smile on his horrid face.That was the starting signal for the black assassin.He started the engine of some sort of jetpack on his back and let himself fall from the roof.

Takada,confused,didin't know where to look,but still pushed Key back as defence.As she fell she saw the assassin up in the clear sky.The glowing moon was reflecting on his helmet as he took a sharp sword out of that jetpack of his and rapidly flew towards them.

The speed he had was insane.In mere seconds he got close to Takada and both of them engaged in a fight.

Takada took the knife from earlier out of his pocket and started swinging at him.He was blocking every attack with his sword as fire started to blow out of his boots.

He was propulsating himself with them, swinging his sword with every move.Takada could only hear their swords colide as he was incredibly fast too as a human.

Key could only look in horror as Takada was getting cut every second,but she decided to man up and join the fight.

As she shouted "Hey!Look over here dumbass!" the assassin stopped and rose his sword up to his chin and pointed it directly at Key.

She took a deep breath,clenched her jaw and ran straight to him.

Takada shouted "No!Get back!" as Key got cut in mere seconds by the man.The weird smell of blood was so infuriating.

The black hand appeared behind her back again and she struck the man with it ,but he dodged the attack without a problem.She struck him more times after that and even rocks were flying left and right,but it was useless.He dodged it all with no sweat.

Key's face turned red,her eyes had only the sent of anger in them.She rose her right arm as electricity was coming straight out of it.In a second she was right behind the assassin and struck him with a powerful punch he didin't see coming.

The punch didin't do much damange but he was pushed right into Takada.

Takada kicked him with his leg and started going all out on him.Key and Takada were working like a team,Key punching him with her electric hand and Takada stricking him with his knife.The sounds "Slash,slash,creak,creack" could have been heard as the assassin was getting hit from two sides.

The assassin shouted "Enough!" as he propulsated himself backwards and sent 4 rockets from his shoulders.Takada dodged the two of themt that flew towards him but Key couldn't,so she got knocked out.

Takada moved his view to the man and started laughing maniacally.Black crows started to surround them.They all flew to the assassin's helmet blocking his view.Takada got close to him really fast and got a good blow on his armor.

He did that again as more birds started to fly to the assasin's head even if the blood of their comrads started flying everywhere.

Two dogs jumped out of nowhere and struck the assasin's armored.They got sliced up pretty quick,but this gave Takada another opportunity to strike him and this time multiple hands grew behind his back and picked up some of birds clashing them onto his helmet.

The Assassin had enough,so he formed a flame tornado with his sword as fire was bursting from his boots and killed all of the birds,but Takada was nowhere to be seen.

For a mere second everything went silent,but then Takada jumped from behind and struck the man's jetpack with his knife.

It didin't take much damange and the knife got stuck,but it made the man giggle a bit and put his sword back in the jetpack.He said with a formal voice "You are really interesting.I think you are quite the opponent.I look forward to our next fight!".

Takada smiled back at him as the assassin rose into the air and flew past a few buildings.

For some reason he sent some rockets to the random buildings and fire started to spread.

People started to panic and Key heard all the screams of agony.She rose back up and looked at Takada.He was looking at the chaos,doing nothing.

Key pushed him and jumped to the top of one of the buidlings that were burning.

"What the hell are you doing Key!"

"I can't hear them.I don't want to hear them anymore.I don't want to hear the screaaams!" shouted Key with tears of anger in her eyes looking painfully at Takada.

"Then save them.If you truly don't want that,you should just save them."

"...You are right,but...but you aren't going to help me?"

"This ain't my fight.I am sorry,but i will get involved only if i need to protect you.Other lives are your priority if you really care about them."

"I see...I will save them myself then.I will save them all, so they won't have to go trought pain.Their pain is our fault after all..."

After their conversation Key got into the bulding.She was going to every floor protecting herself with the dark hand from her back.She found a family in the fire as one of the kids started screaming and crying.She couldn't take it anymore.With tears in her eyes,she blocked all the fire and made a way for them to escape.

At another floor,she found an old lady that seemed quite calm.She asked with a worried face "What are you doing lady?!We need to get out of here fast!"

"Oh,my dear.I think my time has come.Why should i try."

"No!Don't say that.Every life is important.This is my fault!You shouldn't have to pay for it!This is not your time!If anything it is mine!"

"Don't be so silly.Stuff like this always happends.It is just God's will."

"Aaah.Just take my hand" said Key angrily as she took her weak hand leading her to the exit.

Key left the building and got to the next one and then the next,saving a whole lot of people thanks to her power,but for some it was not enough.A lot already died from the impact of the rockets or the fire when she got to them.She wasn't fast enough for a lot of them and not even for the last building as it exploded right in her face and the only thing she could have done is watch.

"Damn it!Damn it!Damn it!!!Why...why did that bastard do this.He wanted us,but got all of these people involed and for what.He was human,but a...a monster too!" shouted Key as she watched the building burning to the ground.

At that moment a family approached her and thanked her deeply.

This made Key smile a little bit as she was able to atleast save some people.

She saved a lot of lives that day,but it was her fault that even happend,so was it really her saving them or her wanting to not live in pity that she took their lives.

The police and firemen were already at the place and Key's dark hand dissapeared after she left the last building she was in,even if she was still having emotions of rage and pain,she felt like she could control it better and commanded it to dissapear.To her surprise it actually did,like it had his own will and could actually hear her,but it was probably the fact that she had way to many emotions at that time for the hand to comprehend them.

She still had to run from there pretty fast so she wouldn't be seen by the police.The people were still looking for her so they could thank her,but she was already gone.

Key ran to an alley and she sat on the floor.

Tears started falling from her eyes,but a little dark hand started to clean them up.She could truly control it a little bit now.

"You know.You don't actually have to always feel strong emotions for it to appear.You can control it just by thinking about what it should do or what would make you feel better.The is the key to control your power." said Takada coming out of the dark of that alley.

"Oh,you are here.I didin't even see you,but i guess you are right.From what i have done today it made me feel better to attack that guy,but it also made me feel better to save those people or wipe my tears away i guess... ." said Key showing a little smirk on her face.

"Either way,I think you have been through a lot,so we should call it a day."

"Yeah...You are right,but the police might come to my apartment again or that robotic assassin!"

"Don't worry.I will be there for you.From this point on I will protect you!Mark my words!"

"You are really weird you know that,but also sweet in a way.You might not be the best person,but i will take your words for now."

"That makes me feel a lot more relieved.Well then!Let's go back to your apartment."

Key got up and Takada took her hand and they both sneaked back into the apartment.They could finnaly rest a bit,but for some reason when they got back Takada opened the rusty TV Key got and turned on the news.

It said widely on it "2 US governamental agents killed by a so called Terrorist Angel."

"Interesting... ." affirmed Takada with a pleased look.
