On The Run
by The young ancient One
He ran through the darkness, through the trees, and the down pour. He stopped for half a second to catch his breath, but no longer than that. If he stopped for much longer, it would get him. The downpour was so heavy that that he could no longer tell the difference between the water and the blood on his hands. His only thought was to keep moving. Somewhere in the back of his mind were the images of the butchered bodies of the people murdered in his house. The people whose blood was on his hands. Suddenly, he saw a light. He had made it out of the woods and into the city, but kept up his pace. He kept running, through the streets. He came to an area with a stone ground. It was full of raised stones marked with kanji. Their were two boys, each kneeling. One was about 12, had dark purple hair, and wore a grey school uniform. The other was about ten, had brunette hair, wore a gray-ish gui like top, and had a round bag beside him, along with a long, mostly tan object to his side. they were both laying a bouquet of flowers in front of the stones. The man ran past the second boy splashing muddy water on both him and the stone.
"Hey, have you no respect!"
The man turned around and pulled a switch blade on the boy. The boy knocked the switch blade out of the mans hand with his shinai. After this, the man started to run in the other direction. The first boy tackled the man with an uchi mata and pinned him to the ground. "Cody, call the police!"
The second boy ran to the phone and dialed the number. Within minutes the police arrived, and arrested the man.
At the same time, the first boy asked the second, "why does your name sound like its from the other side of the world?
The next day the police found the mutilated corpse of the man they Arrested. The Body was covered in vicious claw marks, and clumps of fur were found around the cell, who's bars had been pried open. The man's obituary said the cause of death was unknown. The police were completely stunned as they knew no native animal was capable of having done this.
