Between love and the sword

 

Chapter 2:

 

“Kaoru” a soft voice whispered in the darkness, Kaoru turned to find everything shady.

“Kaoru” the voice said again, Kaoru turned around to see who was there again; no one appeared to be there. Suddenly she felt a cold hand on her shoulder, she gasped, turned and fell into the ground, and from down where she was she could see the outline of a person. Her breath caught on her throat as she recognized who was standing in front of her. She tried to scream, but her voice didn't come out of her mouth. A pair of golden eyes looked down at her paralyzing each of her muscles. Fear turned into anger as she saw the man above her snicker at her fallen form. `I'm a trained assassin, I should be able to defeat him' with that she got up and started attacking the golden eye intruder. She began punching, but all of her punches hit air. The man avoiding all her punches and kicks started laughing at her, his red hair dancing with each cat-like step he made. After what seemed like hours of fighting Kaoru sank to her knees, and looked at the man in front of her, his hand holding a Katana its silver shine could make the bravest men run in fear. He kneel down until he was eye to eye contact with her. Kaoru got trapped in his breath taking eyes. For one moment she could see a glint of amethyst in them, and then she saw what she feared most, pain and loneliness in his eyes. He pulled his sword up in a straight line, Kaoru knew what was going to happen, she closed her eyes in anticipation, but the mighty blow never came, instead, she opened her eyes quickly and found a note at her feet, it said only a word, but strangely it was in some other language: 天使”

 

“Battousai!” Kaoru woke up yelling, she shiver all over, her face was very white, and her heart was beating so fast she thought it would just pop out of her body. She looked anxiously around the room to make sure he wasn't there. When she saw he wasn't she started to calm down.

 

She had seen him, in her dream. Very clearly, she had seen his golden eyes and fiery red hair, there was no doubt it was him, Battousai. She knew who battousai was, he was a killer, a cold blood assassin, the only man who could make her have nightmares. She had heard since she was very small about him, stories about his killings, about how men died on his hands, horribly torture was their destiny when they fought him. Battousai used a Katana on his killings, they called him the dark angel, because they said he had black wings as those of a fallen angel that came from hell. Her eyes went over to the envelope that sat quietly on her chair. With shaking hands she went and picked up, she opened it with fright, and pulled out a small piece of paper, there in the middle she found one name, just one, and she found herself trembling again. There in small letters is said: Battousai.
