Outsiders

~Ryuu~

I had been so focused on the reaper Yami was fighting I hadn't noticed the ither one watching us...that is until he grabbed my tail during one of my sky bombs.

"So you think you two can gang up on my son and get away with it. Now I will show you what a real Grim Reaper is capable of!" I chuckled even though I was scared. "Real reaper huh? You've never met my Yami then." At that his grip on me tightened. His scythe touched my neck and I could feel it's bloodlust. As if the blade itself was coincous.

When he called out to Yami and she turned I saw her eyes go red. It made my heart stutter. She was so beautiful when she was angry. The fact that she was angry because I was in danger made me love her more.

I felt the scythe bite my neck. It seemed to drink in my lifeforce...I felt my knees weaken a bit. So this is the true oower of a Reaper. Not the creature itself...but it's weapon. Yami hesitated and I saw her remove her foot from the young reaper's arm. Wrong move love. I always knew I would be her only weakness. I felt the reaper's body move as he chuckled and the cold haunting bite of his scythe as he slashed open my neck.

I heard Yami scream. My last thought...I love you my beautiful goddess of death.

Darkness. Nothing. A void. Is this what death is? I felt myself floating through this space. It was incredibly...lonely. It felt like I had been floating for days when I finally saw it. A light. Was this torture finally going to end?!

I opened my eyes to see Yami crying over me. She hit me, but it was halfhearted. "YOU IDIOT!!" I grabbed her arm. "Ow...why did you hit me?" I was trying to joke. It hadn't hurt.

"You stupid idiot! You died on me!!!" I sighed. This is why she was mad at me?!

"And that's my fault?!"

She was still crying. Rare for her. "Yes!!!" She hugged me and I felt her hot tears start to soak my shirt. "Stupid idiot! I thought I lost you."

Yami never acts like this. I held her in my arms, and then gently pushed her back. "Hey hey now...no more crying. You don't cry. You're a fearful grim reaper." She was glaring at me though I saw her trying to stop crying. I could not help but smile. "I missed you."

I saw something else rare then...Yami blushed. "After you compose yourself we'll go back. I can't let anyone else see my girl weakened like this. After all...you're my beautiful Goddess of death."
