Running Around With Scissors (Abbadon;Tomo)

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon folded his arms, somewhat irritated that he had no clue what was happening.
"I'll listen to your proposal," he said. "But can you please tell me what the hell is going on here?"

[Akuma Shadow]

shadow smiled and nodded his head. Setting the news paper down on the desk, he gave a serious face and said bluntly:

"Someone you know wants me to kill you and they want me to do his dirty work. I presume that you know who this person is. That is beside the point though. I want to make a deal with you, its simple and I think that we can do this and get what we both want."

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon immediately lowered his head as he became annoyed by the situation.
"Oracle..." he said loudly. "I knew he'd have something to do behind this." Abbadon looked at Shadow, unfolded his arms and placed his hands in his pockets.
"Before you tell me this proposal of yours, Shadow," Abbadon started, "I must know this first; who was approached first? Did he come to you or did you stake him out?"

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomoyo knew exactly what was going on. There was only one being in the known universe that Tomoyo knew wanted to kill Abbadon but for some reason could not do it himself.

Oracle.

Reminiscing vaguely of the last moment that they had spent together, watching Shadow, made Tomoyo feel a little guilty. She had known that something had been going on with him. Damn it, she had let him manipulate her again!

"You won't be killing anyone, and I don't want any part of your deal; if want to try to kill him on you client's behalf just come and try. Your client will be without someone to work for him."

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow rose his hand and shook his head, "No, No. Thats the point, I don't want to kill him. That is why I wanted to speak to you. I had a feeling that you, Tomoyo, would be helping him, protecting him in some sort of way.'

Shadow walked closer to the group and looked them, "I want to help you but at the same way help my-self. I could say more but Sara here can tell you the plan. I will say though that it is risky but in the end, it will benifit us both."

[Akuma Sara]

"The Plan is simple." Sara said with a sigh, "We could trick Oracle to think that Abbadon is dead-A simple piece of clothing with the man's blood on it should do- and when you are ready you can kill him."

Sara dobuted this plan but it was the only way that seem to work well in her head.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon closed his eyes, lowered his head and started chuckling. He shook it while his laughter started to bellow. He opened his eyes and looked at the brother and sister.

"Okay," Abbadon started. "First of all, if this is who we all know it is, then we all know that he will not be tricked by presenting some piece of my shirt drenched in my blood to him. He's too smart for that. If you do that and he realizes that this was all a set-up, your body parts would be scattered all over the world in a heartflash. Secondly, he doesn't willingly approach people asking for their help. Most of the time, whoever is working for him at the time approaches him first."
Then the smirk immediately left Abbadon's face.

"Which is why I asked that question, Shadow," Abbadon started again. "Just how exactly did you get into this? Did he find you, or did you search for him?"

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow looked down to the ground. He knew that what he was doing was risky, that it could put not only him-self but the Devil Saints in danger but....

"I didn't have much of a option to do this job. There was nothing left for me to do really." Shadow said silently as he kept his face to the ground. Shadow sighed as he looked up and turned his head toward another door to the far left of him.

Out came Lust, in the same form as Shadow but with red jeans and a white tee-shirt on. "Its because of us, Mr. Abbadon." He let out as he stared at the pair before him.

"Shadow needed a way to get control us so we won't be in his head any more. He found Oracle, learning that he could help him with this. We knew that he wanted to shrike a deal but not like this."

Shadow looked up and then said "Like I said, I don't want to kill you but...." Shadow looked back down and set his green eyes on the small window . Near that small window was sword in it's brown leather sheath.

"If you have any other bright ideas to get what we want, we better do it now. As we speak, I sent my other personality, Rage to watch Oracle. I don't think he'd like the fact that I'm making a deal with the pray."

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomo watched all of this with the same look of disgust on his face all the way through. He couldn't believe how desperate Shadow was being.

"Listen, you half-bred Human freak. You are a coward. If you were going to promise to kill someone for your own selfish reasons, then you should have just died trying to accomplish your goal instead of doing...this piece of ridiculous farse.

"What you are going to do, little shadow," he said, sounding annoyed, "is tell Oracle that you could not complete the job." This was a delicate balance; Oracle didn't know that he was the protecting Abbadon. Abbadon didn't know that the reason why Oracle was so close on his tail was because of him. And he intended to keep it that way.

"You will tell him that you cannot overtake Abbadon. That he is more powerful than you. He will believe it because it is true. That is what is going to happen. If you're going to have an issue with making that look real, cut yourself and make him believe it. Because you are a Human, he will have no choice but to. Because you are weak, there will be no denying it. As for your...restoration, I will speak to Oracle personally and attempt to persuade him to the task of restoring you to your formal self as a favor on my behalf. If he refuses, then I will personally seek out my other acquaintances so that I can eventually restore you myself.

"This is how things will go, and if you do not obey I will slaughter three quarters of your organization, and you and your sister will be among those fallen to the pit of death." This time, for the first time since he had met Shadow, there was no jovial light in Tomo's eye; no joke behind the threat. Only pursed lips and a look of disgust at Shadow's stupidity and his overall orders, which he knew would be followed without question, lest there be dire consequences for all involved.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

It was between the way that Shadow non-shalontly displayed that Shadow was willing to go on with Oracle's plan and Tomo immediately telling him to approach Oracle again and telling him that he wouldnt cooperate that left Abbadon completely and silently confused. Abbadon saw that look on Shadow's face as he looked at the sword by the window. His serious face intensified as he placed his right hand on the handle of his Sword of Darkness by force of habit.

He always did that whenever he felt either nervous or threatened. In his case, it was a mixture of both. There was something about Shadow that was familiar to him somehow, otherwise Abbadon wouldnt have started to have this raw sense of emotion that he would go to such a low as to kill him.
It almost saddened him.

But he knew that there had to be some kind of connection between the two, since Shadow did say himself that he did not want to kill him. But that alone couldn't stop the mixed emotions stirring within Abbadon right now.
C'mon, Shadow, he thought to himself. You're better than this; I know it. Somehow, I know this.

[Akuma Shadow]

He looked at Sara and lust and then made a slight nod Tomo. walking toward the exit behind him, the Bara said,

"Abbadon, we better make this look convincing, huh?" Shdow said with a lighter voice then he was. Lust vanish with a smile on his face.

"Sara Return to HQ, there's something we need to talk about. Say good-bye to our friends.

[Akuma Sara]

Sara sighed and looked at Shadow, then at Abbadon. She smiled and said "Thank you Tomo. We will clean this mess up." She went over to Shadow's blade and grabbed it with ease.

"Thank you Abbadon for believing my brother. I will contact you later on after Shadow has did his job." She gave a bow and left out the door behind the two, closing the door."

I sugest you becareful now, Abbadon.... She gave out her mental thought to the man as she left out the shop.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon watched Sara as she left, her mental sentence still buzzing in his ear. After a few seconds he glanced at Tomo and smirked, silently thanking her for her assistance during the manner that just past. Then he looked at Shadow, connecting immediately in the eyes. Sympathy weirdly oozed from his pupils, but Abbadon immediately tried to cover it.
"So," he began, "what do we do?"

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow made a smirk, "Well, Tomo did say that all I have to do is cut my-self but I feel that we should fight anyway. A friendly one but to at least show that it was true. I don't want to take anymore chances with you-know-who."

Shadow snapped his fingers and the suit that he wore changed into a black and green cloak that covered his body. His hands became engulfed in a green and black flame.

Shadow began walking towards Abbadon. As he did he looked at Tomo and said quickly, "You don't mind that we do this, do you?" he gave a wink as he stopped in front of the man.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon chuckled lightly, still keeping his hand on the handle of his sword.
"It has been a while since I had a simple sparring competition," he said. He then rose an eyebrow toward Tomo.
"What do you think?" he asked. He then smiled. "You wanna watch?"

[Sanada Tomo]

Tomo cooed softly, making the comment that he knew would make Oracle laugh had he been there, "...sure. Watching two reasonably good-looking men sweat is something that I'm always willing to be a part of," if they wanted to fight themselves, so be it. It would look all the more realistic in Oracle's eyes. It would feel all the more realistic to him; it had been a while since he had watched a good fight, though this one wouldn't meet the standards that Tomo was outlining in his mind, he knew.

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow made a small smirk.

"Then its agreed: One friendly fight. Me and You." Shadow clasped his hands tightly, "Though I may warn you, I really have this thing about fire", he looked at his hand as he continue to speak, "And once I get started, I get little 'fired up' " Shadow had to laugh at his lame comment but he didn't care, he was glad to have somene to fight with for once.

Lust appeared again behind Shadow, the blade that was with Sara in his hands,

"She thought you might want to use it..." He said with a glee in his voice. Shadow took the blade into his hand and looked at it, his eyes scaning every detail of it within its shetf.

The hilt it-self had a red rose at the end of it.

"Your Move..."

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

Abbadon pulled out his Sword of Darkness and twirled it both with grace and agility.

Once he finished twirling it, he used his right hand and used the thumb and the middle finger and glided the blade through the two fingers. The blade instantly turned black as it followed the trail of the fingers. He smiled as he brought the blade toward his face.
"This is going to be fun."

[Akuma Shadow]

Shadow smiled as he pulled out his own sword, Heki Akuma [split Devil], and rested it on his shoulder.



"I was thinking of the same thing." He gave a smile and looked at the man before him. He clutched the hilt of the blade with both hands and pointed the katana at Abbadon.



You guys ready? Shadow asked his partner.

Ready when you are.... Lust said as he made a slight chuckle.

Shadow made a nod and with that made a quick slash towards Abbadon with great speed.

[Hakaisha Abbadon]

With the speed of something from another world, Abbadon raised his sword in time to meet Shadow's blade. As the blades rubbed against each other, he smirked at his friendly opponent.
"Easy, killer," he mocked in a kidding way. "No need to rush; the fun's just beginning."
With that said, Abbadon pushed Shadow off his blade and used Shadow's chest as a launching pad for a back flip. When he landed, he sent a giant fire blast his way and awaited Shadow's reaction.
