Timeframe of Death Three

"If you just stayed put for a minute this would have been over way faster,but I guess it was fun playing with ya."said Takada slowly moving towards Akiko.With each step his overwhelming intensity grew stronger.It must have been way to strong for even Akiko to bear with.

"I left this country scared,because of people like you.Monsters with no heart...liars.I left him behind,but that doesn't matter anymore as lonh as I can take all my anger out on you." chanted the little lady while her face and body started to look more and more deranged every second.It seemed like her rambling was just what has left in her soul and now tired mentally and physically she let it speak up.

Her clothes were now also worn out and were acompanied by her dirty and messy hair and a whole lot of bruises.She looked strong on the inside and wanted for her to be seen just as insane as she should be,being a dark archangel and all,but she was still fragile and one kick from that demonic man was enough to send her into overdrive.

"You are dead serious right now.You wanted to kill me all this time!" said Takada almost wanting to start laughing.Tears almost rolled from his eyes as he was having just way to much fun about how serious and dangerous Akiko wanted to look,but he just simply knew that she was no match.

"I see...haha.So...you are mocking me too.They were all like this.You all got such a distorted heart you deserve to die."

"Distorted or not,my heart gives me the strenght needed.No matter how you see me,soon enough you won't be able to see anything at all."

"Interesting...No matter,I also loved playing this beutiful game!It was just like with my dolls,but they didn't react like you!If you could only become like them we would have this kind of FUN EVERY DAY!"

The light in her eyes burnt even greater now as her true self sufaced again.No more feeling sorry for herself and talking big as now she only tought about how to defeat Takada.

Getting her hair out of her vision,she gracefully moved her hand once more and created a monster in the shape of a human right in front of Takada.The monster grew a sword out of his hand,not too long compared to Takada's knife and took a battle stance to attack Takada repeatedly.He was quite fast with the attacks but Takada was managing to block them all with the top of his knife without even getting his wrist broken.The power he held withing each parry was way greater than that of the monster,it was like his whole body was enhanced.

In a moment the monster slipped and Takada cut his torso,but that didn't make him stop.He continued to push.A jab from Takada collided right with his face.Then,the man used his other hand to cut through his sword,breaking it in half.As he relocated his knife upwards he moved it right through his whole arm getting rid of it cutting it in half,but the monster didn't stop.He made his other hand into a sword and started to attack again.More and more attacks were thrown at Takada with no damange as his knife was intercepting every attack.His weapon collided with the monster's sword multiple times,but they were all in vain as Takada stood stong and parried them head on with incredible endurance.

As he saw an opening again he managed to drive his blade upwards through his arm with a powerful thrust slashing his arm entirely again.After that,Takada finnaly cut his head thinking that he is done with it,but the monster already regenerated the other hand and started to attack again even without a head.Chaotic attacks one after another were thrown at Takada.In a moment of pure skill he managed to trap his blade on his hilt and got to stab the monster once more and this time right from the torso.The blade went through his whole stomatch cutting him in half.Takada already wanted to move away from it but the lower part of the monster grabed on to him with multiple little hands that grew out of his stomatch.They were all trying to pin him down by his head but he managed to cut through all of them just to be attacked from behind.In an instant he looked back,the attacker being just a torse propulsating itself with a blood branch and smiled at him sticking his tongue out.He turned back and kicked the lower part from his face and dodged the attack from behind and with another kick sending the torso flying straight into sand.

"So much for a final attack and all that big talk.Now I think it's time for your little game to be over... ." said Takada as he noticed Akiko already dissapeared in the time he fought that thing.

"No wonder you ran from Japan and started your own little empire.You are just a waste that can't fight with anyone better than you." said Takada looking at the sky dissapointed once again.

"Better get back to the apartment now." tought Takada while he finnaly got on his way back.As he wanted to move again the whole burning building he was standing on started to collapse.As he fell down with it he managed to not get hurt,but the earth was still shaking after that.

As he looked behind a wave made out of blood was targeting him with Akiko on top of it making the same face he made at that monster with a deranged smile with her tounge sticking out shouting "BLOOD MANEUVER

:THE WAVE!" as rays of light iluminated her wide eyes in an angelic scenary as if time stopped for a second and everything stood still for her to be the shinning birth star.

The wave itself was way to fast for Takada to do anything so he just clenched his teeth and took the hit from the wave.The sounds of laughter in the voice of that small demon were echoing through his head as he was submerged in fluid blood.

The wave sent him flying directly into a dune.His head spun a little bit as it took some seconds for him to be back up again.He noticed that along with the wave and all the blood,Akiko was gone,but even if she ran this time,she managed to get a hit on him and a good one,so atleast she earned Takada's respect for that brave move.Even if a little bit of her presence might have still been there,he had to get going.He started to walk slowly through the wind,bits of sand getting in his eyes,each step feeling heavier than the one before.He didn't have much time anymore,because the last thing this man would ever want in his way is defeat.Her being gone would mean his biggest loss,so he had to make sure she is safe no matter what.

Back at the apartemment...

Key closed the door after Takada left and got into the bathroom.She looked at the broken mirror she once destroyed out of despise of herself.She never even took care of it since then.Looking at her apartment now it felt more like a mess too.When they were there happy together it looked very bright inside the room,it felt like a fairy tale,atleast for Key.

As she saw herself in the broken glass once more she started to feel all of those past horrible moments coming back to her.She saw another man dead in her face and it was once again her fault.She didn't even know him for long,didn't even know his name but he probably had a loving family,a life he wanted to continue,but now that he had the unfortunate turn of events to meet Key,his life is gone.The tought of it being all her fault,that everywhere she goes only despair is brought started circulating in het head.She started to feel nauseous,almost wanted to throw up.Her tired eyes,the marks of tears on her face were all acompanied by a monotonous expression as she stayed there feeling sorry for herself.

She got out of the bathroom after some minutes,wiped away her tears and stood there in the middle of the apartment.Deep inside she felt like she had to do something,she didn't want to feel useless anymore or like a chore to anyone she meets.She wanted to feel like she saved those people from the fire once more.More and more optimist toughts flooded her mind.She tore away her dress and picked up her gun from Takada's bad that was still in her apartment from the days he stayed there.She loaded it and got out of apartment.Walking the stairs one by one,she decided to go back to the scene of the murder and try to take down the killer,because Takada was already at the hideout and probably took care of the bastard that wanted to attack it.If this was somehow his plan,he must have had multiple people working for him,so all of them had to be taken out.

She finnaly got out of the building.She looked back at the big old building where her apartment is.It looked quite crammed from outside and not very likable with ugly colors all over it,but it still was hee home.Looking back was somehow nostalgic for Key right now,but that somehow felt wrong.She looked around herself and no human was in sight.She already had the gun out,but she couldn't have scared anyone so fast.

Something was wrong once more.She turned her head at a balistic sound of a explosion right from her apartment.Her mouth dropped to the floor.They already knew where she lived so of course they could do that,but still in the middle of daylight to do that was quite insane,not only that with nobody in sight something worse was more likely to happen.

"Hey!Don't worry I already exacuated all of them.It's just us." said a glommy looking man walking from the distance in Key's way.He was walking rather slowly,looking at the houses he was passing by."Japan sure is beutiful right?!"

"What?Who...who are you?" said Key absolutly terrified at the presence of this unknown man.He didn't look friendly either so it was normal for her to be scared.His long black coat fluttered in the wind as he was aproaching.A clear image of him was already made in Key's mind:curly brown hair,unshaved beard,full black clothes and some sort of weapon behind him that looked like a scythe,not only that a double barrel shotgun at his hip that made him even more menacing.

"Not going to respond,huh?I tought you were more talkative.Well,either way I am Meyer!Nice to meet ya!" announced the man in a happy tone.

"How are you so calm...have we met before?!" said Key getting all startled at the way he was speaking and his words.It was like they were friends for a long time or atleast they knew eachother,but this is the first time she has seen this man.

"Not in person...yet,but I can assure you we already know eachother very well.In fact I think my letters were a good enough and eerie introduction."

"The letters...so you were the one after us,but how did you even know where we lived and everything!" shouted Key as her expresion changed as a whole.The man seemed so innocent,but he was in fact really dangerous,somehow the way he spoke almost made her drop her guard down,until he spoke of the letters.Everything about him sent shivers down her spine.

"You see.All of us assasins got almost a whole portofolio of information about you guys.You are the one with the least amount besides one more fella,but luckly for me you got involved with that Takada guy too.He is strong for sure,but he is not here now and once again I am lucky."

"You want to fight only me I take it."

"Yeah,You could say that,for the moment.You are definetly the easiest target,but I coordonated this attack so well that even I am amazed of myself.I might aswell take the both of you down."

"Coordonated the attack?!So you are behind all of it.The shooting and the hideout being in danger?" said Key clenching her teeth as more untrusty words came out of that man's mouth.

"Haha,I'd wish,but nope.I already knew there was someone watching your hideout.I myself wasn't even planing on storming it and that shooting was pure luck.Not even connected to me or the fella at the hideout."

"You are serious?!So you just meant that it all fell way to nicely for you."

"Exactly!This is the most perfect situation that could have happend!" shouted Meyer with excitement.

Key finnaly had enough of his ranting and pointed her gun at him as he was finnaly close enough.He walked at a few meters distance while talking and got face to face with Key.

"Oho,Look where you're poiting that,little lady.We don't want anybody to get hurt." affirmed confidently the man looking at the pointed gun.He then bursted out laughing like this was all a joke to him.Looking back at Key's serious face made him laugh even more.

Key couldn't hold it anymore and shot her weapon.The bullet spinned and spinned alomost reaching the target,but at the last second he moved his head a little bit to the side and dodged it perfectly.He raised an eyebrow at the expression Key made afterwards which just screamed that she was annoyed.

"ALRIGHT!I see I got you all fired up!I'd still want to chat a little bit just to get some more emotion out of you,after all,I told you everything up until now until beacause you are a corpse walking to me already!"

Key didn't even bother to respond firing another shot at the man,but it was no use once again as he didn't even break a sweat to dodge it.

"You dare shoot at the Reaper once again!I could have taken you out in one shot almost like the fella at the restaurant.You dare still shot at me,when I left you some good time before I killed you like the good person I AM!" shouted Meyer finnaly getting angry.His spirit started burning inside.He felt like he already spared her and she was in debt to him and the fact that she got the guts to even shoot at him was already enough for the man to loose it.

He took out his scythe glowing all pink,lighning sparking from each side of the top.His eyes became filled with the intent to kill.Germany's Reaper was finnaly ready to make his move on the angelic target.His mind is already just begging to gouge her eyes and take her out piece by piece.
