The rain burns like acid onto my skin and every inch of my body screams for death. I would give in to this desire if this burning hatred did not stop me. The pain is hot, vicious but I will bare it.

I see the boy and he sees me, he had seen what I had done a witness to my crime, I walk up to him, he must die. His eyes quiver and he tries to run, his death inevitable and he knows it.

I raise my sword, the boy smiles and time stops. I just saw the boy run, scream and tumble he is still trembling but I cannot deny he is smiling.

"Do you want to die boy? " I ask him my voice disguises my surprise with venom the boy trembles more and his eyes show fear but his smile never falters.

"Sure why not if it's quick? He replies in a boy's voice.
A mask. This boy is strong, not physically but that can be gained. I will strip him of compassion pity and all other pesky emotions, he will be hollow and I will be his teacher. I am seldom wrong ….he will not die today. I lower my sword.

"Get me some new bandages and food and I will spare your life"

A/N:- My it has been so long since I have posted something…. Hope I have gotten just a little bit better than I was….just so you know I am fully aware that it was not raining the day Shishio spared Soujiro, I sorta mixed up to different episodes in my head but I like the beginning so I kept it. Reviews will be greatly appreciated  Thanks 4 reading.
