WARNINGS: Explicit Conten...
I materialized a similar knife, holding two in my hand now. I needed time, to fix up my arm, hopefully it would hurt less when snapped back into place. My eyes never leaving Illumi, he was still waiting for me to strike first. I didn't know how good he was at throwing needles with his left hand, but I was hoping the smallest of gaps in his skills to allow me to gain some advantage.
Time seemed to freeze when I threw the replica aiming for his guts, and he dodged throwing perfectly aimed needles in my direction, but I was already dashing away getting nearer to the large trees and I held in a groan as I snapped my arm back to its place.
Didn't have time to sigh in relief as the pain reduced its tune, still playing, my torso spiralled as I dodged more thin needles, a few scratching my cheek and left arm, and took the impulse from a nearby tree to shorten the distance between me and Illumi. His right hand was now holding needles as well, spinning them around his fingers despite the pain. My eyes widened a bit, wondering just how tolerant to pain he was, before creating one more serrated blade, using both hands now, each holding a knife as I sliced through air that was previously occupied by Illumi.
He kicked my flank, but it was too obvious, I defended, holding the hit as I nearly grazed a knife on his leg before he flinched away.
"First –" I yelped as I ducked, one knife cutting some strands of my beautiful h/c hair. My knife, when did he... My aura grew darker, "Oh you asshole.", I spit, a whirlpool of emotions surfacing as I trembled holding them in.
Two long curved daggers appeared in my hands as I dashed and played cat and mouse with Illumi. My heart was wild beating in what seemed like too little of a cage as I felt the adrenaline fill me up taking my head to the clouds as I seeked to return the haircut back to him.
When he realized that all the aims at this body were so he could believe I wouldn't go for his hair, part of his left strands were now a palm or so shorter, a wide smile crept in my lips, unable to force myself to look serious, I shrugged and snickered as I dodged Illumi's bows, before his leg swung at me again to meet my dagger, my feet sinking in the dirt, with the impact. My left arm stung, badly, he had been targeting it specifically to make it worse.
I scowled for two seconds, he seemed surprised that I somehow managed to not get flung to the incredibly nearby tree. Holy fuck had I tried to dodge I would've hit that. He pulled away, and I allowed all my materialized knifes to evaporate, and the small bits of aura returned to me. Illumi was getting serious so if I had to bring out special abilities, I needed all the aura I could muster.
My spine shivered when the intensity of Illumi's aura doubled, my instincts going off, telling me to run. There wasn't much space to run in this semi-circle. Danger, eminent danger.
When I felt his presence drawing closer, I jumped like a scared cat and dashed near Mike, panicking, I heard a faint whisper, "The woods are fight grounds as well."
Never had I skipped so fast up a tree as I attempted to gather some distance between me and the large black ball that was Illumi, charging at me with incredibly murderous intent. All other tricks that I had in mind shattering as the red warnings flew on my mind.
Something materialized in my hand, panic controlling me as I slipped and fell from the tree branch I was stepping, landing with a loud thud on a greenish bush. I heard a rustle and like the scared prey I was I wished for it to be nothing as I turned and pointed my weapon to Illumi.
"Fear suits you." I heard, unable to associate that voice with him, it was lacking the absentminded merry tone, big red flag. My eyes fell to whatever I had to defend myself, Loki's gun. Perfect headshot. He seemed to realize it too. "Bad move?"
I couldn't use this, if I killed Illumi, one of the Zoldycks would kill me. No killing family members, that was the rule. Not even a curse left my lips, he stepped closer.
"I've been making those ever since I met you," the gun dissipated, and a long needle glimmering in his pale claw, which one would be sharper? The needle or his nails? My mind racing as I went through the story, knowing there was something I could use. He seemed to take the fragment of time as a white defeated flag, extending his arm probably to touch my forehead but his hand was pushed away by a lace parasol, opening.
He seemed surprised for just the smidge of second that allowed me to shove him down on the ground and have a knife next to his chin, he didn't mind it, spinning to be on top as his needle touched my chin, prickling sensitive skin. "To think I'd marry a trickster."
I rolled my eyes, "What now? I can't kill you, can I?" Relieved that his aura was returning to its dark purple shade.
"You can't." But he didn't show any intention of moving.
"You can't kill me."
"I'm considering the comma still." I pushed him off holding the parasol to his throat as I got up and closed it. The top was incredibly sharp, it was a discrete weapon.
"I could consider that too. Honestly, this whole fight is so tempting." Illumi dodged my stabbing motion easily and stood next to me. "I bet you were thinking all the time about having a needle in me, justified by the fight, and the forgetting to take it off."
He waved his hand as he started going up the mountain. "You didn't even open the possibility for that, incredibly inconvenient."
"To think you'd actually go all out on me." I scoffed, "That! That was inconvenient."
"You went all out as well." He quickly replied, "The one-shot gun."
I shrugged it off. I had gone all out, I felt it when the cold metal materialized on my hands, every bullet would come out by consuming my own life.
