((Yeah I know it is a bit weird in some parts, but I was running out of ideas))

Shadow slowly walks through two huge doors to a large throne room. Shadow slowly continues to through, looking for someone. Shadow soon stops when he noticed someone by the window. Shadow knew who it was, it was the reason why he was the first person in his clan to make it to the head castle. The person who is in charge of the clan.

"Figured you were the one to come." The voice was female and when the lighting strikes you could tell the person was a girl. The head Ryusaki clan leader was a girl. "Seeing how you are one of the top members, I figured you would be the first one here. You know why I asked for people from the clan to come right?" She turns around, revealing her light blue, long hair and blue eyes. She is currently wearing a long white dress with black on her shoulder and below her waist with different design patterns on it.

Shadow laughs some then nods his head a few times. "Test out my power right, Tessa? I am guess you have the other artifact that I am looking for as well... going to use that against me to prove my power?" Shadow ask seriously, something he doesn't do that often.

"Hehe, of course. Out of the thirty you must collect, there are five that at the most powerful. You have one, I have one, that means there are three more out there." She nods a few times then takes out a medallion that has the Ryusaki symbol on it. Once she takes it out to show Shadow she puts it away before taking out a sword. Her dress turns into a weird type of armor. Such as her dress stays, but her sleeves are gone and on her shoulders are spikes that travel along her shoulder blades down her arm slightly. Her high heel shoes stay the same and her dress sticks to her more. Her sword is unique as well, her blade is white with black on the tip and on the bottom of her blade. The handle is only a handle without anything sticking out to the side. This isn't what made it unique. "Come... Shadow Ryusaki." Tessa dashes at Shadow, her speed incredible.

Shadow takes out his black scythe with the white tip then blocks Tessa's slash with the handle of the scythe, making Shadow slide backwards some, but he wasn't damaged. "Your as fast as normal and still have that same sword." Shadow laughs some then parries Tessa backwards. Tessa bounces then smirks some. "Hehe, of course. You still have the same blade from back then as well." Tessa slashes at Shadow before flipping over him trying to slash at his back. Shadow curves his scythe over his head then blocks that attack as well. Tessa growls then jumps backwards a few times. "You know my powers, by do you block so easily?" Shadow laughs some then runs a hand through his hair. "I know you, you wouldn't use dirty tricks to early." Shadow smirks at her before jumping backwards. "You have the two worse abilities in the clan. Dark and light Ice along with time. I am jealous." Shadow laughs some then blocks another slash from Tessa.

"Guess I will have to be a little harder on you huh!" She pushes Shadow backwards then slashes the ground three times. "Dark time..." Clocks appear around her on the floor before traveling across the floor to Shadow. Shadow dodges out the way then watches the clock hit a nearby chair. The chair turns gray then breaks down. "Wow that was clo-" "Don't take your eyes off your opponent!" Tess a slashes at Shadow once more, though with ice onto her sword. Shadow blocks then uses the force to make him jump backwards, not wanting to hit the ice. "Close close." Tessa slams her sword onto the ground, this time sending large ice spears at Shadow. Shadow creates a moon ball then sends it at the ice spears, causing a large explosion to happen. Once the smoke clears Shadow isn't there. Tessa looks around slowly, trying to find Shadow. Shadow appears behind Tessa then kicks her to the ground with his foot. "Ahh, your powers are strong, but your senses are weak."

"We will see just how weak my tenses are when I use this." Tessa takes out the medallion then puts it in the middle of her chest. "Wait, don't do that!" Shadow flies backwards, flying straight into a wall from the force. Shadow slides down then watches Tessa. The Ryusaki symbol appears above her and under her before a large amount of black and white lightning strikes down before a large explosion goes off. Shadow coughs a few times then as the smoke covers the whole room. When Shadow opens his eyes he noticed the smoke was black and white. "Sh-" Before he could react he is sent flying across the room into a window, sending him outside onto the roof where it is pouring hard. Shadow slowly stands up then a large black ice Shard flies out at Shadow. Shadow slices it in half then bounces backwards, watching as Tessa finally comes out the smoke, though slicing at Shadow, tis the reason why he jumped backwards.

Tessa looked completely different right now. She had two horns coming out her head, a large crystal in the middle of her chest, her sword was larger and her eyes were soulless. Tessa swings her sword down at Shadow. Shadow dodges, but for some reason is frozen in the air. "I heard your release form was cool, but using the medallion to upgrade it makes you look weak sorry." Shadow smiles then looks around before noticing small glitters around him. "Ice... when did.." Shadow remembers when he sliced that ice shard. "Clever..." Shadow tires to move, but the ice time shard were holding him. Tessa slowly walks closer then slashes at Shadow. Shadow is cut across his chest then follows down, released from the spell. Shadow rolls down the castle a bit before standing up. Shadow tosses his scythe to the side, making it disappear before Shadow turns into his symbol fox form. "If I can hit the medallion I will be able to free her." Shadow nods a few times then dashes at her. Shadow flips into the air then a pentacle appears behind him. Shadow blast forward at Tessa's chest, but misses because of her time ability, her ability making her disappear then reappear in front of Shadow. Shadow bounces off the ground then tries again, but is smacked at the ground by Tessa's hilt.

Shadow hits the ground hard, but a pentacle appears around him before fire shoots up. Tessa jumps backwards then growls some. "I see, so you can't control time without having these small crystals around you huh?" Shadow smirks then dashes towards her again, Shadow creating multiple pentacles with each step. Shadow jumps at Tessa then flips over her. The pentacles glow then fire shoots out towards Tessa. Tessa holds her hand out then freezes the flames completely before shattering into pieces. The shards then fly towards Shadow. Shadow dodges the pieces, but is sliced a few times on his fur. Shadow lands then a large ice pillar appears above him. "Crap!" Shadow bounces to the side, dodging it, but it moves over then tries again. Shadow dodges once more then lands on a clock, freezing him in place. The large ice pillar slams into Shadow, black blood splashing every where. Tessa sheaths her sword then laughs some. "Hehe... guess you weren't good enough to take back what is yours..." Tessa starts to walk away before wiping the blood off her face. "I was hoping you would win.... I actually... loved you." Tessa sighs then slowly jumps back into her room before looking at the ice pillar. The pillar slowly starts to turn black before shattering into pieces then burning. The black blood every where forms into one spot then reveals a black blooded fox with three tails and a red line going down it's body.

"Atrum nex cruor. Damn it if Cruor is here then not even my medallion will give me enough power." Tessa takes out her blade then sends a clock to Shadow. Shadow moves out the way then dashes towards her. Tessa tries her best to hit him with white and black ice along with time clocks, but each is either dodges or ineffective. Shadow jumps at Tessa, but is soon slashed in half. "Got you!" Shadow quickly reforms right after the slash before stabbing Tessa in the right and left arm with his black blood strike, the minute he is down, without mercy he turns into a spike ball before rolling into her. Tessa blocks it with her sword, but soon enough he sips right through it, hitting her in the stomach. Shadow lands onto his feet then growls larger, almost bigger than the room. Tessa notices this then starts to get scared. "Damn it... my normal sword won't work against this thing. Ryusaki things are ineffective... maybe if I..." Tessa takes the medallion off then tosses it to the side, her reverting back to normal. Shadow slams his paw down at Tessa, but it is quickly slashed by her sword, making Shadow fall backwards a bit before turning back into his normal size. Shadow smirks evilly then dashes towards her before forming a rotating scythe. Tessa blocks it then uses normal ice to freeze the blade, the ice actually working. Tessa then slams her hilt against Shadow's fox head, using light.

Shadow turns into a puddle of black blood then the whole room turns completely black with black blood. Tessa looks around then a large spike stabs right through her stomach... she wasn't expecting it." The spike moves backwards, back into the wall as Tessa falls to the ground. Shadow appears smirking as he slowly moves closer. Tessa watches as her black blood spews out her chest.... "Damn it... guess I have no choice but to bring you back the normal way." Tessa's black blood turns white and so does her eyes. Her white blood fills up the whole in her stomach then she slowly stands back up before dashing at Shadow. Tessa slashes at Shadow with a quick light slash. Shadow jumps backwards, but the reach was longer than normal Shadow is sliced in half, causing a small bit of light to form from the cut. Shadow quickly fuses back together then strikes at Tessa, cutting her cheek. Tessa slices again and again and again and again, cutting Shadow into pieces. "Turn... back... Shadow!!!" She yells, still slicing him. After a few more slices she flies backwards into a wall, the black blood everywhere sucking into Shadow, reforming his normal, human state, though with mean cuts on him. Tessa sees that he is back to normal then she quickly runs over to him before shaking him. "Shadow? Shadow! You better not be dead..."Her eyes start to water. "I didn't want to try and kill you, I didn't have any control over myself before. I just wanted to finally be something in your eyes... don't die, please don't die..."

Shadow opens one eye then sees her crying before he closes his eye again, making sure she didn't see him. Shadow then started to pretend to be dead. " Te-Tessa? Is that you?" He fake coughs hard. "I see... the light.... it is so beautiful..."

"No Shadow.. don't go into the light... stay with me... please !" Tessa starts crying harder now, not wanting him to go.

Shadow does a laugh then coughs hard, faking. "Don't worry.. you will find someone better than me.... just continue to live... forget about me alright?" Shadow smiles weakly then closes his eyes, acting dead.

Tessa cries out loudly, feeling responsible for his death. She continues to cry as she lays Shadow down on the ground. "I-I'm sorry Shadow...." Tessa slowly starts to walk away then hears something moving. She turns around then sees Shadow standing up and ok. Shadow looks over at her, smiles then waves. "Hehe..." Tessa had a confused look on her face, question marks appearing around her. "I thought you were dead?" "Would it be better if I was?!" Shadow laughs some then smiles. "Nah, I don't die that easily." Shadow smiles softly at her then Tessa smiles back as she pulls out her sword. "Tessa.. wh-what are you going to do with that sword? Why are you smiling still?! Why are you moving cl- no no, it was a joke, it was a joke!" Shadow grabs the medallion then runs off downstairs, Tessa chasing him. " Get back here you idiot!" Tessa yells, going to slice him for real.
