A Little Disorientated

Kani laughed. "Aren't we at an impasse?" she said. She laughed again.

Kani! Oh god! What did you do! Oh Mei, you worry too much. This is fun! No, Kani, it's not! Get that sword out of your stomach and get help. Don't take it out of his though, or he'll bleed to death. Do you hear me?

Kani smiled. "You know what's funny? Sure I have blood...but I can't die that easily...and yet you can."

(this is AWESOME!!)

((ooc: Lmao yay, I'm going to die again XD))

He twisted the handle of the sword, the blade turning in her stomach. "Well, like you, I'm unafraid to die. So the only things you would accomplish in killing me are making things harder for the Akatsuki and leaving a village without it's Kage. Kani, you do understand, maybe I will become weakened more easily, but you forget that the demon within me holds much greater power, and can take over while I am on the brink of death. You wouldn't survive two battles in a row."

(i dont want you to die...but that would be funny. because i'd leave you in my basement. and then get arrested for killing you...haha! that would be KICK ASS!)

Kani narrowed her eyes. He was right, sure, but what did she care? She had died before, what's a second time? "I couldn't survive two battles in a row huh? We can't know that until we try. But let me tell you something-" She twisted the blade in his stomach. "You kill me, and no one will care. I'm serious. I'd just be another dead person. Just another one to add to your list. Like your mom, and whoever other hundreds, thousands, MILLIONS that you have killed." Her mouth twisted up into a cruel smile. "I'll just be another. Only this time, no one will give a damn."

She stepped closer to him, purpously pushing the blade farther into her own stomach.

(ha...ha...look at my sig. and then look at what i just thought)

((ooc: Lol like, fifteen people want to kill me.. XD

The best place to die, Kani's basement. Also the best place to be buried Because it's a known fact that if anyone saw your dead body there, they would find something sharp and start to poke it XD))

He coughed again, it being more harsh then the last one. Blood poured from his mouth, dripping to the floor. Though, her words had caused greater damage than the sword itself. He felt them stab into his heart, something in the back of his mind reacting. His eyes showed despair for a few brief seconds, quickly being shoved away again. He chuckled, slowly lifting himself from the step, letting the sword stab further into him as he brought his face closer to hers.

"To be honest, I don't think anyone would care much either for my death. All I am is another unwanted Jinchuuriki, anyway. And You, being on of the undead. Maybe you should go back to your grave.." He put his mouth right next to her ear, twisting the sword again, even harder than the first time. "Then we can meet again in hell."

((ooc: Lol nice

Go Gaara!! Give bad ass talk before you die! XD))

(haha! about 50-100 different sharp things to poke at him with! And yes, bad ass talk is always good! have you ever played Devil's Don't Cry? Its a video game?)

Kani smiled and placed a hand on his shoulder, using it as leverage so she could push the sword in deeper. "Grave? What grave? I've never had one. And neither will I this time. I'm not going in the ground. Damn hell no. If there's anyone listening, I want you to burn my body." She laughed "Maybe we'll meet in Hell, maybe not. I don't expect that both of us will die. Doesn't matter-" she turned her head slightly to look at him. "-at least you're going to die." She slowly reached into his back pocket and pulled out a kunai before placing it against his chest.

Kani. Put both knives down right now! Arg! Shukaku? Shukaku!!

((ooc: Devil's Don't Cry? Do you mean Devil May Cry? Because I've played DMC, though, if that's not what you're talking about, than no O_O))

"It's a form of expression, zombie girl." He licked along her neck, giving quiet, demented laughter. "At least I will die by your hands."

Shukaku felt Mei calling him(somehow, don't ask how), and made a connection between them only, so that Gaara and Kani could not listen(he's magic, okay?). 'If you're wondering, no, I am not making Gaara do this. He is acting on his own free will, and I obviously can't help Kani. So, this is probably the end for us. Fun, eh? Heh heh..'

(oh yeah! That's it! well ive found an RPG site of that game)

Kani laughed and pressed the kunai into his chest. She was right over his heart, but she wanted to make him suffer.

Yeah, yeah whatever, lots and lots of fun. But this isn't how she'd want to go! Can't you talk some sense into Gaara or something? Make him realize what's happening? Give him his emotions back! It's the only way...and I know that you dont care but I do! I don't care what I have to do, Kani wouldn't want to go like this. Or maybe she would, but not now! Please, try to talk to Gaara! Kani wont listen to me...its like im not here...

((ooc: Awesome ))

'You're asking a difficult favour of me. Gaara wanted me to rid him of his emotions, this would be the last place he would take them back. Not now, if I know him at all, he would refuse because it would be too much. Mei, since there may not be a future for us, I suppose a bribe would be pointless. I will do you this one thing, in an attempt to stop the two from an inevitable blood bath.' Shukaku kept the connection there, letting Mei listen to him and Gaara, just in case he needed advice. 'Gaara, listen to me. This is pointless, you're just going to let yourself fall to this girl? Let her kill you? What about all that you've fought for in the past several years? You're just going to throw it all away? It's pointless to struggle.. this is the best way to go. Die by the hands of a friend, it's something I will let happen. But that's useless. You could easily work things out with her, but you decide to have a battle. Don't you know that she will end up in a horrible position when you're... *we're* dead? She will never forgive herself. Shut up!! Since when did you care, anyway!?'

'What now..' Shukaku said to Mei, giving a hopeless sigh. Gaara smirked, licking the blood from his lips. "Kani, there's nothing I wanted more than to be killed by one dearest to me."

He took his free hand pulling it back slowly, then punching her in the jaw, his breathing heavy and the kunai digging slightly deeper from his movements.

((ooc: Bloody O_O..))

Kani's foot slipped off the end of the stair but then she regained her balance. She blinked and stared at the ground for a moment, smiling. Then she turned around and kneed Gaara between the legs; pushing both knives farther into his body. If the kunai went in any farther, Gaara would die soon. Kani smiled and stepped back up so that she was standing where she was before.

I don't know...But...Did you see when Kani was talking about how she'd just be another person he had killed? She brought up his mom and everything, and through Kani's eyes I noticed a flicker of despair in Gaara's. Maybe...if we can give his emotions back to him without him realizing it...then it could work? We'd have to do it quickly, Kani's just about really to kill him. She's had her fun, she'll kill him any second now.

((ooc: You know.. it's at times like these that I really wouldn't have minded if what was originally supposed to happen with Gaara happened ))

"Nhg.." He winced, then lowered his head and coughed again, giving a demented smirk. "Heh... playing dirty now, aren't we.."

Slowly, he twisted the blade again, then pushed himself from the stairs, bringing her down with him. They fell to the basement floor, the blade that was still through Kani stabbing into the floor, and the ones through him going deeper from the impact. So, he had put himself in great danger, just to get Kani stuck to the floor with of the sword. The kunai was dangerously close to his heart, and he could literally feel the tip of the blade poking it. And it felt as though the harder he breathed, the closer it got.

'It took Gaara's free will to take his emotions from him, I'm not exactly sure if I can give them back without him *wanting* them back.. Though, maybe the fact that he is on the brink of death, I will possibly be able to force his emotions back upon him, with a bit of convincing, of course.' Shukaku gave an angry growl to Gaara. 'Gaara? Look at yourself, what the *hell* do you think you're doing? Are you stupid?! Well, that's an obvious question, I suppose. You must be one of the dumbest people on this planet. Who are you trying to convince? You, of course. I can't believe you would stoop this low!! Your village? Your brother and sister? Neko? And Kani is your friend! Is this what you really want to do to a friend? They all betrayed me.. Are you really this selfish? Just shut up and stop talking to me already! I don't care anymore, that's that. This will be my death bed.'

He reached his hand to her face, moving her bangs out of the way. He completely ignored the sword that was unable to go through him anymore due to the fact that the handle was less than an inch away from touching his skin. "You might be able to feel my heart beat through that kunai, or maybe you can even hear it.. it may be saying that I am ready to die for you."

((ooc: Shukaku will most likely give Gaara a kick in the ass in the next post, if he isn't dead that is O_o))

Kani turned her head and coughed, blood trickling out of her mouth. She smiled and pushed the kunai a little harder. Half a centemeter lay between the tip and his heart. She started to shake and laughed, turning her head to face him. She raised an hair and twirled a piece of Gaara's hair around her finger. "Always loved your hair," she mummbled. "Such a nice red...the colour of blood. Ironic isn't it?"

Shit! This isn't working... Arg! KANI! KAAAAAAANNNNNNIIIII! LISTEN TO ME YOU IDIOT LITTLE GIRL! YOU LISTEN TO ME RIGHT NOW AND I WON'T HAVE TO REVERT TO DESPERATE MESSURES!! Shut up Mei, I'm having the most fun I have in my entire life.

Kani smiled and tapped her fingers along the hilt of the kunai. "Good-bye Gaara."

"I always did think it was ironic, as well." He gave a soft smile, though, it held only a bit of emptiness in it. He coughed, blood dripping from his chin and onto Kani. "Heh.. nobody knew I would die by the hands of a friend.."

'That's it, you fool, I am giving you back *all* of your emotions, I don't care what you say! This was stupid! I don't want them back. I don't care, like I said. If you're going to die, you're going to die while actually caring about the one that's killing you. ...' Shukaku growled, releasing the hold on Gaara's emotions, and letting them escape back into the soul that they belonged to. Gaara's face changed from expression to expression, each one of them being ones that he should have felt since they had been sealed away. Worry, sadness, despair, anger, pain. Finally, with his breath coming in short huffs, his expression was forlorn, a sad smile on his face.

"Death.. blood mixed with blood... yours and mine.. wounds that won't be healed.. it's too late.. we cannot be helped now.. lonely.. abandoned.. betrayed.." He closed his eyes, relaxing his body, which put more pressure on the kunai, resulting in his heart being pierced. He winced, sounds of excruciating pain coming from his mouth, along with a lot of blood. "Ngh.. K-Kani.. I'm sorry f-for.. the trouble I-I've caused.. d-dispose of m-me q-quickly.."

Kani laughed and pushed him off of her. He landed face down on the floor, resulting in the kunai piercing even deeper. She laughed and slowly got to her feet, the kunai still in her stomach. She laughed again and staggered backwards against the wall. "That's right Gaara," she said. "Let's see you die. Right here. By the one of the ones who have always been there. Ironic again, is it not!" She laughed, and it was truely the laugh of someone gone crazy. Like, no coming back, off the deep end, insane asylum, straightjacket, serial killer crazy.

Oh god...Kani...oh my god! What did you do!

Mei slapped Kani mentally but Kani still continued her manicaly laugher.

(that was fun)

((ooc: Yep. Sayonara, Gaara-kun. It's been fun ))

He felt the horrible ache in his heart, each beat bringing even more pain. He could barely breath, and he knew he was going to die. He turned his face slightly, it being covered with red from the fact that he was laying in his own pool of blood. "Have you.. really.. been there for me.. Kani.. c-can.. you really.. say.. s-such a thing..? B-because.. I-I really.. d-don't.. remember.. you really.. b-being there.. f-for me.. at all.."

'Are you happy now, Shukaku..No, not really, Gaara. So.. this is the end, huh? Apparently. You're just going to let this happen.. you don't care about dying? Why would I? I always thought you would afraid of falling.. you never did like it. Maybe I am.. but what can I really do for you, now? Whatever you want.. I just.. want to die peacefully..' Gaara smiled, closing his eyes. "I... I-I wish.. I wasn't so.. stupid.."

((ooc: Aww, maaan..))

(you're going to kill him! Wait! WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!)

Kani stopped laughing, but her insane smile was still on her face. "Always there? I would say so. I always tried to help you..." She walked up so that she was almost right next to him. Then she squated and stared at him. "You are stupid, and no matter how much you hope not, you are. I always said you weren't, because well...you weren't. But you are stupid, all of us are in one way or another." She dipped two fingers into his blood pool and then lifted them to stare at the blood dripping off her fingers. "Thank you Gaara. You've just given me something that I can use."

((ooc: Well... maybe? Is there really any hope? ))

"I s-suppose.. the f-first time.. I died.. doesn't count.. but I am stupid.. in m-more than just.. o-one way.." He opened his eyes slightly, staring sadly at her hand. A few tears escaped from his eyes, trailing down half of his face. He didn't really notice. "Y-your.. welcome.."

(you could figure out something...wait! Kill me! Kill me! PLEASE! I want to be a ghost for a little while and then come back! That would be KICK ASS!!!!!!)

Kani sighed and stood up, a smile still on her face. "You blood will be a big help. At least you accomplish one thing by dying: you can help us defeat the Akatsuki." She looked around the dark basement. No light came in from anywhere, but she could see perfectly. Oblinion meowed and wound herself around Kani's ankles.

((ooc: Lol well.. then I'll have to come up with something quickly before Gaara dies on me O_O))

He unwillingly sniffed, blood getting sucked into his nose and going to the back of his throat, causing him to cough madly. Once it ceased, he was left feeling numb from the excruciating pain. He couldn't feel his heart anymore, as if it wasn't beating. Though, he knew it was beating, just very slowly with probably five seconds between each beat. "I'm.. g-glad.. I-I.. could be.. o-of.. use.."

'Damn it, this is hurting ME!! Can you feel the death creeping up on you, Shukaku.. are you afraid? No, this is.. this is just stupid! Well, we are stupid, Shukaku.. very stupid. You're not this weak, Gaara. You're just giving up because of that.. that.. insolent pain in the ass! Don't call her that. Well, I don't care anymore. Wait.. What? You know.. hehehe.. I still have three hours of free time from you. I think I'm going to use that time before I die, thank you very much. What.. no!! You can't..!! Oh, yes I can.. ha ha ha!! You're too weak to stop me!!'

"Ngh.. K-Kani.. l-lea.. lea..." He couldn't finish his sentence, for Shukaku wouldn't let him. He began to glow red, and an angry expression came to his face. His eyes turned black, his irises turning a bright yellow. Veins traveled up his blood covered face, and Shukaku took over Gaara's body, just like one or two nights ago. He slowly sat up, then stood, his face looking demented. "Heh.. hehehe.. Kani, I don't care who you are to this pathetic crimson haired fool.. you are going to die tonight!"

((ooc: O_O... I am going to feel so bad for this.. hehe..))

Kani narrowed her eyes and stared at Gaara/Shukaku. She laughed. "Well, well. You coming out to play Shukaku?" She grabbed two swords from the wall behind her and got into a fighting stance. "This is going to be fun!"

Kani! You don't realize what's happening do you?! Mei! I told you already shut up! NO! I'm not going to let you die on me! NO NO NO! Espesially not by him!

Kani laughed and smiled, staring at Gaara/Shukaku.

(awww! Dont be! I just need to figure out how to come back to life...that is if I actually end up wanting too)

((ooc: It wouldn't be very nice if you didn't O_o))

"Don't worry, I won't be easily beat." He grinned, pulling the sword from his stomach and ripping the kunai from his chest, blood splattering on the floor. He shook the sword, then whipped it to his side, laughing as the blood that had been dripping from it flew off and hit Kani in the face. "Unlike Gaara, I don't give a damn about you."

Kani blinked and then laughed. She pulled the sword from her own stomach and whipped it across the room. It cut along Gaara/Shukaku's upper arm and then imbeded itself in the mat. She swung the two other swords she held around. "I know that!" she cheered. "That's why this is going to be so much fun!!" She laughed like crazy.

"Heh.." He slouched slightly, glaring at her as he gave a demented grin, then disappeared from the spot, appearing behind her, all in less than a few seconds. He put the kunai to the back of her head, just above her neck, moving his face so that he could whisper in her ear. "Just face it, you're done for."

'Stop! No, it's my turn. You can't do this! Just let us die here peacefully like we're supposed to! What would be the fun in that? You're just holding off death. We will die in the end anyway, why can't it be peacefully? We won't die. How can you be so sure?! Why can't you just be quiet and let me save your life?' Shukaku gave a quiet chuckle, tapping the blade lightly against her skin. "Well, Kani. I have to say, watching you destroy Gaara was fun. It's a shame.. hehehe.."

Kani smirked. "A shame I didn't kill him when I had the chance." She nodded. "I know. I should have nailed him to the back of the head as well." She disappeared and then reappeared in the fathest back corner and then sat there and did some hand signs. "Scarlet Manipulation jutsu!" All the blood spilt (holly shit) gathered together and sped at Gaara/Shukaku. It covered them completely, including the head. Then Kani pressed her hands together and the blood squeezed Gaara/Shukaku tighter and tighter.

((ooc: Shiiiiiit. And you want to die? I'm already half dead!! I'm fully dead now!!! And I guess since those peoples are after me, I'll just let myself die so they can't get Shukakumabu's ))

He closed his eyes, seeing no sense in keeping them open. 'Great.. this move again.. This is the end, Shukaku.. I suppose it may be. Let's hope I can't make it out of this, eh? Heh..'

"Nghh.." He felt the blood tighten it's grip on him, and he wondered if there was a possibility that he could get out of it. Probably not. They were definately doomed.

(note to Kuyo guy: i deleted your posts. you can't just run into something like this. please. just leave this alone, alright? and yes, i want to die. but i wont kill you.)

Kani suddenly felt weaker then she ever had, her concentration slipped and the blood fell into a pool at Gaara/Shukaku's feet. Kani shook her head. What the fucking hell? I had to do something. Mei! You didn't! You won't listen to me... So what did you do!? I poked at some memories and drew your attention away.

Kani clentched her teeth together and threw the two swords a Gaara/Shukaku but they missed.

Mei!!!! You should have listened...
