Please comment after reading. If you have read this before it is just me adding the first to "chapters" together.

ALSO: for those who read one night, please comment on how I should start the next scene since I left it hanging. I didn't like all the ooc going on but whatever I'll make it work.

Akashi was searching long and hard for one whom he could call his; however, all he knew of his fair maiden was her beauty and lack of presence. She was like a ghost, not many have seen her, but she was never able to be forgotten. This beauty was known to have hair as smooth as silk, skin is soft and white as snow, eyes as beautiful as the sky on a clear summer day, and lips as red as a rose in full bloom.

Akashi longed to seek such a marvelous creature, but how could he find one such as she? He knew he was not the only one who searched for such, but he cannot stop this crazy obsession to find the person who contain such hypnotic paralyzation. Could one such as she really exist? Should he continue to pursue this while his kingdom falls apart?

A man of scarlet hair and heterochromatic eyes unsheathed his scimitar before pointing it daringly at his opponent. A smirk grew on the said man's face before he took a step closer to his opponent. The man across from this audacious fellow slowly stepped back in fear. The shrunken man called out to the scarlet nervously saying,"Akashi, please! I promise I will comply to the agreement you offered, I just need more time!"

The man named Akashi laughed softly before glaring menacingly at the cowering man before him. "Two years was plenty of time for a man of your stature to get what I wanted. I no longer have a need for you, so you have two options. Either I slowly and painfully torture you until you can no longer bear it, or a shoot your wife and children in front of you. Which one?" The scarlet smile sweetly as he waits for the other's answer.

Instantly the man replies,"Not my wife and children! Please just me, I don't care how painful, just don't hurt them."

Akashi smirks before saying,"Such a kind man. Very well then. I think you for making my decision easier."

Having finished his sentence, he brings out the man's wife and children. Horror is shown on the man's face before he cries out,"No, please! I beg you, don't hurt them!"

The man tries to save them, but before he reaches his wife and children he hears gunshots and sees them fall one by one in front of him. As the realization of his family's death hits him, he weeps uncontrollably until he hears the man he hates most say,"I hope you learned to never go back on your word. Just remember Ogiwara, Akashi Seijuro was the one who taught you such a valuable lesson."

Ogiwara scowled before sneering,"I doubt I could ever forget someone as heartless as you." He paused before continuing again, rebelliously saying,"Just so you know, The blue haired ghost you're looking for is very hard to find. I know where she lives, but I will never tell you. It may take until the end of your life before you find her, but even if you do, she'd never marry you."

Akashi laughed once more before retorting,"As if I trust you to help me. Even if you did know where she is, I'd rather find her myself. Have fun with your children, they seemed lively and just dying to play with you."

Akashi smirks once more, before leaving the man to be consumed by anguish and grief.
