Nevermind. Read and enjoy. Tis fixed.

The raven-haired adolescent landed easily onto the rock just several yards away from the house. He was hidden from sight, he knew. The boy crouched down, climbing on his hands and knees until he could see the small house's doorway. Crystal beads of icy water flew down onto his arms and clung to his dark hair, but he did not feel their frozen grip. All Kanynt knew at that moment was that great excitement was about to come. He watched as a blonde, brunette, and ebony-haired trio rushed into the house. His eyes narrowed when he saw Yuna wearing Gerard's long, dark jacket.
And then the fun began.
~-~
Gerard threw the door open, flying into the small, dark living room. A flash of light, a rumbling noise outside the house. Rain poured harder, and so did the footsteps behind him. Quickly, Ketso and Yuna caught up to Gerard. They arrived just in time for another flash of lightning and crack of thunder. The rain flowed freely from the sky.
Just as blood flew freely from Gerard's left shoulder. His hand went instinctively to the wound. He felt a familiar sheet of cold metal. His sword.
Without looking down, he grabbed the hilt of the blade, knowing exactly where it was. Yes. As he gripped the dark hilt, a tear fell down his eye. She was hurting him, but what he had done to her was so much more painful.
She knew.
Rikku stared at her love, hair down, tears streaming. She bowed her head, still clutching the dagger in her hand. She would let him have the sword. She stared back up at the only one she truly loved.
But this time, she wore an expression of hatred.
Blonde hair shimmering in the dim light as she ran at him, Rikku drove her dagger into Gerard's back, in one deadly embrace. She cried again, and Gerard found himself comforting her. She nearly let herself fall into him. She almost let her anger die.
But she remembered what he had done, and so she dug the knife in deeper. Gerard didn't make a sound. He settled for putting more pressure on his long, blade. Biting down on his leather sleeve, he pulled the long blade from his shoulder. His blade shone crimson as white light pierced the ever-darkening sky. Pressure was released from his shoulder, but the force of it seemed to spread to his heart. It was breaking under such a burden.
Rikku shot him a glare that told him she'd aim to kill next time. She didn't plan to let up. She drew a leg up and let it fly into Gerard's face. Leaping back, Rikku spun around, throwing the dagger at the Raven-haired boy's forehead, taking satisfaction in the shocked faces around her. Ketso seemed paralyzed. Yuna was whispering something under her breathe desperately.
At the last possible second, Gerard brought his blade up, letting Rikku's knife fly back at her. She grabbed it in mid-air, front-flipped to him, and threw her blade at him. He brought his sword up, and the two locked blades. Gerard was having a silent war with himself. He decided, then, as he broke the lock, that he would go easy on Rikku.
Then, he knew only a sharp pain in his wrists. Rikku stared at him triumphantly. He clutched his bleeding hand, ignoring the pain in his other bruised arm. He stared up at Rikku pleadingly, but to no avail.
She brought the pommel of her blade down hard. A sickening thump sounded through the house as Gerard's limp body hit the ground.
Rikku stared at him. She let her blade fall down to the ground, her knees sagging under her. She fell onto the floor, her arms shakily supporting her, just barely. Tears flew down her face again and mixed with her true love's blood.
~-~
Yuna stared in horror as Gerard fell to the ground. She gaped at Rikku, trying to understand. Then, Yuna flung herself onto Gerard. She layed her head on his chest and sobbed. Then, she lifted her head a little. A pulse. She'd heard it. Her love was alive. She started to smile.
And then Rikku glared at her. Her features told Yuna to stay away. Yuna returned the glare. She silently informed Rikku that she herself was not responsible for what the blonde had done to Gerard. Rikku read Yuna like an open book. She stood shakily and pulled two daggers from from a sleeve. Yuna stood, taking Gerard's bloodied blade from its place a few feet away from him. She winced at how heavy it was, but the summoner thought she had the advantage. Rikku had to have given that fight her all. She had to be exhausted.
Yuna knew nothing.
Rikku charged at Yuna, crossing her blades at Yuna's throat. Her brunette cousin weaved the heavy sword between Rikku's arms at her heart. They glared into each other's eyes. Pure emerald tore through sapphire and dull sea-foam green orbs. Then, a smirk. Rikku hooked her foot behind Yuna's, knocking her down onto the ground. She crossed her blades at the throat again. Bringing them closer, Rikku prepared to end the life of her once-trusted cousin. They had been so close. But the betrayl Rikku felt now over-powered their blood. Blood was thicker than water, but a sword could fly through each liquid in a swift motion.
And then Ketso interfered. He dived, pushing Yuna out of the way. He landed on his back, taking a huge blow to the cheek. Another sliced down his neck. Identical emerald eyes stared into Rikku's. Her's widened. His squinted, tears forming at the edges.
"That's enough," the boy whispered. Rikku felt crystal drops slide down her cheeks. She brought her hands to her face and let them fall. After a moment, she stared at Yuna, awak and scared. Then she took a look at Gerard, who was just coming to.
Rikku stared at them all. "We need a plan," she sobbed.
All of them were crying now. All of them but one.
~-~
Kanynt grinned, walking around in his stone cavern. The occasional slice of light flew through the sky, but mostly darkness reigned over the land. The ebony haired boy swept a few bangs away from his piercing celery eye. He waited patiently. The time to strike again would be soon.
