Title:The Fine Line Between Life And Death by DISECE8
"So you know what to do,Amaya."she asked me.I nodded,staring down at the floor."Look at me when you answer."Her other minons and some demons she had under her control flinched at the edge in her voice.The fact that she could make them do that just by raising her voice showed how strong she has gotten and that led to fear.Fear that I was losing and she was gaining.Which wasn't good.I couldn't let her get stronger than me.When these demons feared you then you know you were strong.And since I didn't cause them fear I was weak.That also ment that I had to obey her even if I didn't want to.
Keeping my face blank,I looked up at her and said"Yes,I understand what to."in a voice with no emotion.
"Good.I expect weekly reports on how things are going.Either one of my fellow comrads or myself will come to you for the report.I want truthful reports and I want them to be submitted when we come to get them."I nodded again.I got up from my kneeling stance and started to leave Underworld when she spoke again."Oh Amaya."I looked back at her."You are to finish your job on time and correctly and remember your new name."she smirked.I kept my face blank.I wouldn't give her the satifaction of knowing that she got to me,that I really want to smack that smirk off her smug face.But instead of doing that I did the next bed thing to getting rid of that irritating smirk.
With a face with no emotions I looked her in the eye and answered her."Of course Maybell."my face broke into a fake smile.I saw the effects of this right away.Her smirk fell from her face and turned into a snarl.She hated that she had no effect on me that she knew of.That I didn't fear her and I really didn't,I only disliked her because of the fact that she was getting stronger than me.It was dislike that I felt for not fear.I didn't know how to fear someone or anything really.
"Leave.Now."she snarled.
Hiding my satifide smirk I poured my black chakra into my right hand and sliced into the air with it and watched the portal open.At least I still had the power to open the portals to get from one world to another,but that's where the exstent of my power ended.That's the only power I had left from before.I wasn't used to it yet and I had a feeling that being where I'm about to go will make the loss of my power even worse.

On the other side of the portal rain was pouring down.This wasn't common weather in this region.The suna village never really got rain from my research on this place.I was suppose to play as a injured kid from a small part in suna that was attacked.As I could see the place was already attacked.People dead everywhere,houses on fire,limbs and blood everywhere too.I was about to lie down on the ground when I relized my problem.I was suppose to be injured but I wasn-
My trian of tought was cut off from the sudden impact to my left cheek.You could hear my head crack against the ground when I hit it.The world started to blurr before my eyes.There was a ringing and a sharp pain going through my head.I was too stunned to even relize what just happened.A blurred pair of feet came into my line of vision.I was lifted by the scarf around my neck to face the person in front of me.Taro,one of May's little minons,stood in front of me with a stupid smirk on his face.Danm people with their stupid smirking.
"She sent me to beat the shit out of you because she knows I'll do a good job of doing it and she wants it to be convincing."he smiled as he punched me again in the face.This time in the eye.Son of a bitch.Even though it hurt like hell I didn't fight back or try to protect myself.I knew it had to be done.He let me fall as he punched me a second time in the other eye.And that's when he just jumped me.He stood over me as he kept punching me over and over again in the face.After the first couple of hits to the face I tasted blood and my eyes were pratically swollen shut and it was getting had to see out of them.I was surprised that he hadn't broken any teeth or knocked any out.Taro stopped and looked down at me with a look of disgust.I was glad he stopped but could go without the look.If he didn't like my face he shouldn't have hit me so many times."God you're ugly.I mean you were ugly before with your short chopped black hair and how you dress like a guy,but now...God it's disgusting."he actually looked like he gagged.
I spat in his face."Screw you."just like May he lost his smirk.Except his didn't turn into a snarl more of a growl.
"You little bitch."he spat out.Instead of punching me he kicked me in the ribs.I hissed in pain."You pathetic,"he kicked me again."piece,"kick."of,"kick."shit."the last kick was to my temple.Black haze filled my vision.Pain shot through my body and I couldn't move for a moment.He gave a small smack to my face."Hey you still alive?"I hadn't relized I closed my eyes.When I opened my eyes I glared up at him.He gave me a warm fake smile."Good.She said to just ruff you up a little.I don't think she will mind if you're half dead.In fact I think she will be happy with me enough to reward me."a devilish grin came to his lips and I got what he was referring to.I,myself,actually started to gag even in this situation."Shut up bitch."He slowly took out his sword that hung from his waist.
Half dead.I relized what he ment by that.I mean I wasn't half dead right now but stabbing me would do it.My face stung like hell and it was sore all over.I couldn't even imagine what I looked like.It was also getting hard to breath from the many blows to the stomach.I'm pretty sure he broke a few ribs and fractured a couple.Besided being hurt I was freezing from laying in the down pour.I was soaked through my clothes to my skin.Now it was like the rain was just hitting my skin as if my clothes weren't there anymore.I could feel the wet sand on my back from laying there.
Taro's sword was double edge.One side black and the other white.The black side was for Death and the was for Life.It was known as Lilith.This was a bad combination in a sword.It was even worse with him wielding it.It use to be just a Life sword but then I stole it and forge Death into it.Making it a sword that controlled Life and Death.When I lost my power May took it from and since she couldn't wield that power she gave it Taro being part human and part demon(plus with him being a kiss ass to her).
He held the sword over his head,making a show of it.He let out a sream as he plunged the sword into my stomach.I also screamed but in pain.I started to gasp for air.Since I got my power from Death I was only affected by the Life in the sword.And since I had lost my power the Life worked both ways.Usually the Life power would pratically kill me because of my own power but since I didn't have it anymore it just hurt as much as getting stad by a sword to any regular person.But,also since,I didn't have my power and I was so use to that kind of power it hurt like hell when the Life power flowed into me.The Death part of the sword didn't bother me at all infact I think it was even balancing out the Life.It still hurt like hell though and he was enjoying every minute of this laughing his ass off.
I started to cough up blood...and choke on it."Y-you b-b-bastard."I choked out."I,I'm going to g-get you f-f-for thi-s."
He stopped laughing but still kept his smile."Really?I like to see you t-t-try."he laughed again."You're weak and pathetic.You're lucky I don't kill you right now.I have no fucking idea why May keeps you around.You can't do anything right.I just hope you do this right because if you don't I'll kill you,'kay?"
I didn't answer.
He laughed some more."Have a wonderful day nad hope not to die before they come to get you."he walked away laughing.I glared after him.I would of said something back but I have to admit that there was fear in me.Not because of him.But because of the sword he crazily wielded.It would be the death of me.
From the lack of energy,stregnth,and well life,plus from the worry of fear I passed out into what I hoped was never ending darkness.
