The wind kicked up suddenly, swirling about her feet, and pushing her hair agianst the back of her head and shoulders. Looking around her she saw nothing, but that dosnt mean that nothing is there. On the contrary, she knew something was there, something evil, she could since it, but where it was she could not tell, she was not that good.

Not yet at least.

Where is it?! She thought to her self, making sure to check her surroundings periotically, making sure it was not following her, although she knew it was, and that she could do nothing about it.

You fool! She yelled at your self, Do you really wish to see your self did. You know who it is, and you know that it, no, not it, HE, could kill you with a snap of his fingers. And that is what scares you, wether you belive it or not.

She knew she was right, she did'nt want to belive it, and would sertinaly not show it...but in the back of her mind, she knew she would probably die tonight. But did it have to be by the likes of hime. Did it have to be the Battuosai that killed her.

Chapter 1

Her body was found early morning. The police had captured who they belived to be the killer, but he got free. It was the main news all throughout the town.
Of course, as always, many versions of the story were circulated, so no one but the killer new the truth. That and the woman, but she couldn't tell her secret. Not to anyone. Except, of course, one girl...But she had yet to learn about her power.

She woke with a start, covered in a cold sweat on the hot summer day. She was shacking badly, at fist glance you would just assume the girl was sick. But you would be so far from the truth. The girl was not sick, the girl was scared. Scared to death.
She slowly recalled what she had just seen in her death. It was the recent killer, that much was certain...but who was the girl. She had been killed, almost sliced in half. A quick kill. For one reason or another, which one she wasnt sure, the killer had spared the girl the normal agony the others had went through. But why?
The police would more than likely assume that this was another killer, not the most recent one, the Battuosai. "The Battuosai only kills men." Thats what they would say, but they would be wrong, dead wrong. He kills what ever he pleases. Men, woman, childern, even animals. He had no personal preference. But a cop would never assume that. Ever.
She got out of bed and quickly moved down the stairs, and slowly into the kitchen. She needed something to drink to calm her nerves. She moved silently, as if not to wake the others in the house.
She had lived in this house for years, since childhood actually. She lived with her Mother and Father and two sister, and of course, her one brother. Her family had always looked to her for help, she was the smart one. The one with a good head on her shoulders, and because of this, her family despised her. She was smarted, but sertinaly not prettier. Or at least, not in her opinion.
Misao and Megumi were far better looking then she could ever come to think about being. And she hated them for that. She also hated the fact that they were both engaged, and she wasn't. Misao had Aoshi, and Megumi had Sano. No one in the family quite understood why Megumi was with Sano. They were and odd match. Megumi was the doctor, and Sano had no job. He would always gamble on the side of the street for money. Thats all he did.
Her mother had died sometime ago, her father as well. Leaving the house and all that was in it to Karou. She was the last, and also the oldest sister. Her brother, Yahiko, was only 10. Karou, being 23, had most of the duties. House work, paying the bills, making sure Yahiko got to school. But she wanted a break, a break she belived was well diserved. But she would get a break. She still had to much to do. "God," she said aloud, not meaning to, "why cant you just give me a small hint of what I am suppose to do. All I ask is a small hint."
she laid her head down onto the table, and when she lifted it agian, a woman stood before her. Karou jumped back. Even more scared now than the dream had made her. "Help me Karou.." it said, before disapering.

Well, let me know what you think, and If I should continue on with the rest of the story!
