Melody of Obliviom

Melody of Oblivion

He was the Black Cat, the most ruthless of all assassins that roam the earth. And yet, how could he have fallen in love with such naïve little girl, the girl he was to kill no less. But he won't fail his mission because of a setback like love; he would just…postpone it.

He heard it, the soft melody ringing through his sensitized ears. It was despicable, he couldn't stand it. It reminded him of… He did what he always did: he attacked.

When he turned to look his prey in the eye, he regretted it immediately. As he stared into the depths of her hazel eyes, he saw it; his very own feelings reflected in them; pain, sorrow…regret. He felt a twang in his chest. It felt oddly foreign to him. He thought he had given up whatever was in their, given it up in return for everything that he hated in the world.

The prey's eyes stared into his masked face. "If you're going to kill me, I'm begging you, do it now."

"Strange woman. Why are you so bold as to make that request?"

Hazel orbs darkened, "I have nothing else to live for…"

Natsume took the blade and raised it to the pulse on her neck. He hesitated. Not once has the Black Cat missed a kill, and he would not stand for it now. But he just couldn't do it, his hands refused to move. His own ruby pools were hypnotized. "Tell me your name," he was finally able to choke out.

"What does it matter to you? Aren't you going to just kill me now…"

"I'll kill you some day..." his own voice was weak.

"You don't know your kill's name?"

"Just tell me already, damn it!"

"Sakura Mikan," she deadpanned. "And again I request that you kill me now…please."

Natsume stood up and collected his dagger, Mikan…, he breathed. "Heh, I won't obey the like of you. But you better remember that this isn't the last you'll see of me, youjo," and with that finishing statement he disappeared into the moonlight mist of the forest.

I hope you like it…this is just the base of my idea. Please review and tell me if you want more and you want me to continue it. Can't update without reviews. :P
