Chapter 3: You don't know the real me.

"Sakura...how could you?" Kou whispered in shock.

Sakura immediately let go of her embrace with Kurei and turn to face Kou. "It's...not what you think it is!" she tried to explain. Why...why was she scared? Is it because she did not want to hurt Kou's feelings? But...she already did a long time ago. By not giving him her full love...she already hurt him.

By now, Kou was looking down. Sakura could not see his face, but even if she did, it was emotionless. He had never felt so hurt. Then..a drop of tear dropped onto the floor. Sakura was speechless. She never seen Kou cry before. He always seemed so strong, so confident...up till now. Without warning, Kou looked up and swung his blade at Kurei, stopping right at his neck.

"It's not right for you to do such immoral stuff to the high summoner. I'm challenging you to a duel. If you win, you may stay in this country. But If I win...then I have the choice of whether to dispose of you or let you return to where you came from." Kou spoke in a cold voice, his face was once more devoid of feelings. He only showed this side of him on the battlefield or when..he's ready to kill mercilessly.

Kurei thought for a while....and replied,"Okay. You're on."

"You two can't fight!" Sakura exclaimed. "I'm sure you two plan on fighting to the death! What if...what if one of you..dies?" Kurei put on his gears and said in unision with Kou...

"It's okay. I don't plan on losing or dying either."

Both of them walked out of the room, followed by a worried Sakura. What has she done this time? This was terrible....they're going to die!

In the arena........

Kurei cracked his knuckles and then powered up all his dark magic. While Kou powered up his holy magic and tested his blade. Sakura watched from the side, hoping that they would not kill each other out of anger. Then....a whistle was heard.

Black wings emerged from Kurei's back and his eyes gave a possesed look. Flashing a smile, Kurei ran at lightning quick speed to Kou's side and then attempted to slash him with his twin daggers. Kou reacted fast enough and blocked the attack while swinging his blade at Kurei. Kurei did a somersault flip backwards and landed perfectly.

"Is this the best you can do?" he sneered. "No." A raged Kou replied. "Good. Cuz...."

Kurei combined the two long twin daggers together and threw it like a boomerang at Kou. The blades just narrowly missed his face but the wind had made a small cut on it. Kou gasped. This isn't good. This guy is better than he looks... The "boomerang" returned to Kurei and he grabbed it without being hit by the blades.

"you'll get cut into pieces if you just stand there..."

Kurei added simply as he licked the blood on the blade. "You don't taste nice. That's a shame.." Kou chanted softly and performed holy magic onto Kurei. "Ki. Ra. Se. Wa. Hiikito!" A pillar of light blasted onto Kurei. "Wha...What the?!" Kou smiled, "That's too bad."

Smoke and dust covered the area which have been blasted, and everybody was waiting nervously at the outcome. A roar was heard. Then a purple dragon emerged from the dust and engulfed Kou in its flames of hell. Kou tried to fight it off, but failed. Then finally collasped from being burnt for too long.

"Kou!" Sakura yelled. She ran forward to him and knelt down, checking if he's okay. At this moment, Kurei emerged. Only the weird thing was...his eyes had changed colour. It was now blood red in the center where it was silver last time.

Sakura: Ku...Kurei...what happened to your eyes?
Kurei:........nothing. It's just what happens when you use a hell flame dragon.
*Kurei absorbed the dragon back and immediately his eyes turn back to silver*
Kurei: Seems like I won. *snickers*
*Kou looks up*
Kou: Hmph. Fine. You can remain here. But if I EVER catch you doing...such a disrespectful act to sakura again, I swear I'll kill you.
*Kurei smiles and hold out his right hand*
Kurei: Yeah.. yeah...wadever. I hear ya anyways. Come on..stand up already. You're just trying to gain pity from Sakura.
Kou: ..................I hate you.
Sakura: O.O"
Kurei: ^-^ I know.
