The True Enemy (1/1)

Sungmin gasped as they entered the battlefield used by Hyukjae and Key. Blood covered every surface of the area, as two black blobs appeared on the ground unmoving. Both Leeteuk and Sungmin ran to the fallen friends allowing the weapon handler’s to search for the enemy."Hyukjae, are you alive?" Leeteuk asked as he tried to lift the assassins head, careful of the many broken bones in his body. Sungmin was more concerned over Donghae’s state. His whole body was burnt and disfigured, as he lay broken on the moss-covered rocks around them. Sungmin’s moss green eyes closed as he held back the tears for his fallen friends. Would they ever make it back home alive? Gently, Sungmin moved the boy’s hair away from his face as he rocked him back and forth, his tears falling down Donghae’s cheeks.Leeteuk was busy trying to bring Hyukjae amongst the living, using his powers as an angel soul when Kyuhyun emerged from the woods supporting a bleeding side."No sign of Key in the east," Kyuhyun said as he took a seat beside his overseer and their injured friend. Sungmin’s body shook with tears as Kyuhyun placed his arms around him, bringing his master closer to him for comfort."How strong has Key gotten if he can defeat them so easily?" Sungmin asked his servant eyes glistening with unshed tears."I don't know, but I promise, we will defeat him and return home just as planned." Kyuhyun whispered as he kissed his lover’s forehead. Sungmin nodded as they turned to Leeteuk. The young teen was now supporting a blurry-eyed Hyukaje, as the ninja assassin regained conscious."Sungmin, are you sure we can return home after killing Key?" Leeteuk asked eyeing the scythe overseer curiously. Sungmin nodded as he retold Leeteuk what his father had told them before they came here to kill the evil soul Key. Leeteuk nodded once Sungmin had finished his explanation. They needed to kill this man fast or else they would be killed. Looking at the sun high in the sky Leeteuk cursed."You know it too, right Leeteuk." Kyuhyun whispered, careful to keep his voice low so the others couldn't hear him."Yes, we only have three hours left, before we begin to disappear from the world." Leeteuk said as he stood up from his spot on the ground and handing Hyukjae to the weapon handler."Your master is the main reason we'll be able to return," Leeteuk said as he popped his back. Kyuhyun glanced up, curious by his friend's words."What?" Kyuhyun asked."Don't be surprised by Sungmin’s actions okay Kyuhyun," Leeteuk whispered as they turned to look at Sungmin as Donghae laid motionless in his arms.SUJU-SUJU-SUJUYesung and Ryeowook both laughed as they walked closer to the insanity. Sungmin had still not cleansed them of all their insanity but Yesung now had a clearer head in case something happened."Hey big bro," Ryeowook said making his older brother stop and turn to him."What is it Ryeowook?" Yesung asked ignoring his younger brother’s crazy look."Key," she pointed before laughing madly.SUJU-SUJU-SUJUSungmin smiled as Hyukjae took his unconscious servant in his hands and whispered his thanks to him. Kyuhyun and Leeteuk smiled as well as they made friendly conversation with the assassin to keep him awake."They were such weaklings," a new voice laughed causing Sungmin and Leeteuk to turn and shield their injured comrades. Key stood smiling coldly as both Kim brother’s hung limp in his hands."Boy’s!" Leeteuk screamed turning pale at their silent state. Sungmin placed a calming hand on his shoulder, even though both were anything but calm as they glared at the man before them."You can't beat me children." Key laughed as the two clenched their teeth in anger. Sungmin stepped forward before Leeteuk stopped him."What are you doing, you don't have a weapon." Leeteuk snapped as he tried to bring Sungmin back to safety."Stop it Leeteuk, he hurt our friends, besides I do have a weapon." he smirked as Kyuhyun appeared beside him holding an injured side. Key continued to laugh as he watched the weapon handler and the soul senser ready to fight him."I am insanity, you cannot beat insanity." Key said as he licked his long fingers. Before Sungmin could answer Leeteuk stepped forward."Give me back my partners," he ordered before making his soul stronger, a clear mark of the angel soul blood in him. Key faltered giving Kyuhyun and Sungmin enough time to cut the twins loose. Their bodies fell lifeless to the ground as Leeteuk ran to grab them."Corrupt Soul Key, I'm here to take your soul," Sungmin informed him as he twirled Kyuhyun into a fighting position."I'd rather have your soul, boy." He smiled moving in a flash behind Sungmin. Sungmin yelped turning Kyuhyun to block just in time. Leeteuk grabbed the twins and hid with the injured ninja assassins. Sungmin rarely had time to act as another attack from the man came at her. Suddenly, he opened his mouth to reveal a long weapon before a huge ball of fire came at them singeing him as he dodged the attack."Damnit, this was tailor made." he cursed as her grip on the scythe tightened and his glare intensified. Key waited as he roared his battle cry and allowed his soul to spread its wings and transform into its true power. Kyuhyun felt his body increase with Sungmin’s as they took flight, Key’s eyes bulged as Sungmin bombarded him with strikes from his weapon with the new power. The pure soul cleansing his own insanity and weakening him. Sungmin smiled at the frailness of his opponent, throwing Kyuhyun to the side and attacking instead with his own fist, much to Kyuhyun’s surprise."No you can't, you have to be scared, stay away from me!" Key screamed as Sungmin’s fist hit his face, crashing in his skull. Key stumbled backwards holding his now bleeding nose as black blades emerged on his body. Key screamed as Sungmin pierced his skin finally drawing out the reddish black soul of the enemy. A smile cracked his face as Sungmin calmed down from his newest defeat. Kyuhyun returned the grin before Leeteuk broke the silent ease."Why are we still here, I thought if we defeated the kishin we could return home?" Leeteuk asked helping the now conscious friends to their feet. Sungmin closed his eyes in confusion as he thought of the reason."Because, he wasn't the enemy; I am." Henry smiled as he summoned his sword Zhou Mi.
