The Answer To Her Prayers
By: Kagome13
Chapter One
Blood. Thick red blood rapidly poured from her small mouth, like a rushing current. She had a gaping wound upon her abdomen, that she had received from the two large men, who had been sent to assassinate her, and put an end to her for good, by doing the most unthinkable, burying her alive. Her lifeless body lied on the grass, in the midst of Central Park, New York City.
Her beautiful ebony hair was clustered all about her, and was tousled from all of the dried blood, that had seeped into it from the wounds on her face.
'I am going to die, and I am going to die alone. Nobody will save me, because nobody cares' Thought the young woman, as she watched the two men finish digging her soon to be grave.
They young woman's name was Kaoru Kamiya. Born of both Japanese and European decedents. Her father Japanese, and her beautiful mother, European.
Her beautiful ebony locks, she had inherited from her father, and her sapphire eyes, she had gotten from her stunning mother.
"C'mon, Fred, we haven't got all day ya know. Let's get this job done as soon as possible, this place gives me the creeps." Said Joe
"Alright, Joe, I'm almost done, just a little more to go." Spoke Fred. He went to reach for the young woman, but something ceased his movement.
A low growl had erupted from the shadows, sending chills down his back. The low growl was deep and warning, and sounded very dangerous. It had come from a huge brown wolf that had just come from the trees yonder, with a look to kill in its bloodthirsty eyes.
Fred was trembling in fear, he couldn't move, he was frozen in his spot, as the wolf seemed to quietly inch towards him. Daring him to run.
Joe was beginning to grow impatient, as he waited for Fred to pick up the pace, and throw the girl in the pit, and bury her, so that they could leave, with their mission accomplished. It seemed as though Fred was not going to move, so he went towards them.
"Fred, hurry up already, we'll be late!" Joe said, as he went to go see what the hold up was about. He too saw the humongous wolf, and he to started to tremble in his own fright.
Out of the shadows, emerged a small man that had a fierce look upon his face, as he came to stand behind the wolf. The man had long blood red hair that was pulled back into a high ponytail, at the top of his head. He had two swords, one on each hip, and he was wearing a gi and hakama, the traditional Japanese style clothing. He looked to be a frightening samurai with murder in his burning amber eyes, with hatred and disgust mixed together. He walked up beside the wolf, as they both intensely stared at the two men, enjoying their fear of them.
"Kill them Sano, they have a death wish. They do not deserve to live, for they have hurt my life mate. They will pay." He said to the wolf next to him.
The brown wolf happily obeyed his orders. For these men had done a horrible act, trying to kill an innocence girl, no less his companion's life mate. It was time that he ended their wretched lives, for they greatly deserved it.
He descended upon their shaken forms in a blur, not leaving any mercy for them to behold. As soon as it had started, it had ended.
The amber-eyed man sauntered slowly towards the young woman that was tied up on the ground. He was angered that she had been treated in such a way. No one would dare to touch his mate again, only he could. He would kill anyone who even so much as look at her, she was his, and only his.
He looked into her sapphire depths, drowning in them, as they were filled with sorrow. Kaoru stared into his breath taking molten amber eyes, as questions sprang openly into her mind. Without thinking, she bluntly blurted them out loud.
"Who are you? And why did you save me? And what value am I to you, anyway?"
"I have come to answer your prayers. And you mean the heavens to me, Koishii." Said the redheaded stranger, as he gently picked her up, bride style.
He started to walk back into the direction he had come from, the shadows, but not before he called out to his companion, the brown wolf, named Sano.
So what do you think? Good or Bad? If I get a lot of reviews or at least just a couple, I might update another chapter for you guys, as a Christmas present. So please review! Bye Kagome13
P.S Thank you to Sapphire Lupe for editing my story and Making sound so much better. Also you all should read her story called Karou's longing. It is very good.
