Samurai Deeper Kyo Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking about ... ❯ Chapter 4 - Death ( Chapter 4 )

A/N: so here we are, my 4th chapter, I still don't know why I started writing this story, but I really enjoy it and will continue till it's completed.

Now this is important, as you will read, there attack names of the different characters, since I have to translate them from French, it's likely that they are false, so please indicate me the correct names.

Have fun,

Chapter 4: Death

 

“I have to ask you to die” snarled Hotaru.

“I will never perish through your hand” retorted Shinrei. He attacked with his favourite attack, “”The Great Dancing Sword”. But Hotaru has fought enough battles against his brother to know how to defend himself.

“That's the problem if you fight against someone you know” said Hotaru and launched himself at Shinrei. “Now no one will keep us apart. He won't help you anymore, there's no one to stop me now!” Black flames fell from the sky. “Lucifer descends to earth”

Shinrei counterattacked but it was in vain, the flames engulfed him, hiding him.

“You certainly didn't know that one, did you?” murmured Hotaru but his face held no emotions, as always.

A sword flew through the flames, slashing Hotaru's side. He went down, holding his side. “Damn you”.

The flames vanished leaving a bruised and bloodied Shinrei behind. “Well, well you surprised me, but now I'll fight seriously”.

“And I thought this would be everything you could do” sneered Hotaru.

“I suggest you kill me quickly, because that girl won't make it any longer”.

Hotaru remained silent but acknowledged the look he got from Kyo.

I don't know her, but she tried to understand me, and she's under Kyo's protection. Who would have thought that Kyo had feeling too? He now has a person to protect, he does care for her. And I won't deceive him because she tried to understand me; she wanted to know about my convictions.

While he thought that, he and Shinrei pursued their combat, swords clashing, blood spurting out. Shinrei started a new wave of attacks, pushing back Hotaru. “Now you'll pay for your mistakes, Wave of the Hundred Dragons” shouted Shinrei.

Dragons came out of his body, searching their prey. It was a powerful attack, even if the Hundred Dragons didn't have the same strength as Shinrei's Saigyo; this disadvantage was compensated by their great number.

Hotaru held up his sword, flames dancing around him, in a last attempt to weaken his opponents attack. But it simply was too strong and it threw him right back into the wall. He slowly slid back to the ground. It hurt to look at him; his battered and bruised body didn't seem to be able to stand up anytime soon.

 

Kyo didn't leave; he kept looking at me, only once raising his head to look at Hotaru. His eyes burnt fiercely into mine.

The only thing I could do was to lay there in his arms, never leaving his eyes, which held clearly one emotion, concern.

I felt it, it moved around, squeezing life out of me. But I couldn't do anything about it. I knew I would die.

It made me sad, that I had to leave him now; I always wanted to be at his side. The promise I gave him, had to break.

Tears escaped and trickled down her face. Kyo brushed them gently away, but new ones followed.

Now, it was time.

One last goodbye.

I knew my time has come. I let go of my body, going sagging in Kyo's arms.

He shook me, but I couldn't hold on any longer.

I opened my eyes to look at him one last time.

“Sorry”.

I fell and let the darkness overrun me.

 

A/N: Now this has been a very short chapter, but don't think it's over, now begins the real journey. :)
