The duel

Free looked motionless after Lui finished the story. He couldn't believe something like that happened to Shu-- at such a young age!

Lui informed Free that Shu proceeded to kill his dad the same year. And his sister was his only living relative now.

Free nodded his thanks blankly and stood up, exiting the room. Aiga entered it almost the same time, having eavesdropped the conversation.

"You both went through a lot, huh?" Aiga said, but before Lui could reply, a panicked Taiga entered the room.

"Lui, Shu send something in your phone and I think you should see it!" He said in a shaky voice as both the boys in the room frowned.

It was a video with a man covering his face with a mask, but anyone could tell that those crimson eyes and white hair belonged to Shu Kurenai.

"Lui. I know you kidnapped my princess away from me and you're probably telling my whole life to him. Burn in hell, you coward. If you're a man, come face me. Neville tower, 11:15 pm. And we fight. If I win, I'll kill you and take back my princess. If you win...well, we know that's not gonna happen."

The video stopped, and they heard a voice from the doorway.

"It's a trap, he's trying to kill you by cheating."

"What makes you think that?" Lui asked to a serious-faced Free. He sighed.

"I saw him planning it all while I was there. He even laughed about slicing your neck open after killing you."

Lui looked down, but Free knew it was just a cowardly act to hide his tears and look strong. Blinking a few times, the bluenette finally stood up, "I think I should go."

"No. I have a better idea." Free said, slightly guilty about what he's about to do to the albino.

"SHU! I'M HERE! COME OUT!"

No response. Lui was sure it'd be a trap. Then he heard a faint swishing noise. He grunted and dodged the axe flung at his way.

"SHU STOP THIS!" Lui roared, but the albino had more tricks and fun up his sleeve that he wanted to use on his childhood friend. There was another faint voice of the disruption of wind and Lui dodged for his life and escaped the huge piano which came crashing to the ground. And the fact that he was in the topmost floor of the tower didn't help.

Lui panted as he dodged another barrier to his friend's heart. He wanted his old friend back and would do anything for it, even the tough choice Free offered him.

He heard Shu's maniacal laugh, and said the things which he knew would hit Shu right in his ego, "COME FACE ME IF YOU'RE A MAN, YOU COWARD!"

The albino appeared from behind a pile of boxes, and Lui attacked.

They went into a fistfight brawl at first, Shu successfully managing to rip off Lui's clothes and Lui kicking on the psycho's nose, breaking it. But then Shu managed to get his hands on a stray metal rod lying on the cold floor, and grabbed it before Lui could kick it away.

Shu raised the weapon, ready to stab his only best friend. But then someone grabbed him from behind and threw him to the nearest wall.

Shu grunted with the pain of the blow, but when he raised his head, he saw himself surrounded by...police?

He knew Lui could never call the police as he was a criminal himself, but the answer stood in the middle of the uniformed crowd.

The blonde with the red streak was looking down at him, breathing heavily.

"You know where to take him." Free said in his honey-like voice. The police dragged him away as Shu shouted, "LUI YOU BITCH! I'LL KILL YOU!"

Lui's heart broke into a million pieces seeing his only friend in this state, but he cannot do anything but wait until he gets himself fixed.

"He'll be fine." Free De La Hoya said, walking to his side and examining his injuries, "You have to treat them, and wait for what the government thinks of you."

Lui smiled, nodding. He knew his friend could get through this, even if it took a week, a month, an year, a decade...

This story would be a surprise for you all soon. And the fact that I'm writing this at midnight when I have to reach school at seven tomorrow morning. (Btw, I'm not sleeping bcz there's a power cut here and it's too hot)
Stay safe and happy.

Fin.
