Save Me .1

His head was throbbing; nothing seemed to make sense in his mind. There was no memory of the days before, only the pain that ran through his body. Every move he made only furthered his pain until he gave up and prayed that sleep would take him again.

Looking up from her cooking Kaoru went to check on her guest. She found him in the woods beaten and bruised covered in blood that surprisingly wasn't his own. Hearing his moment stop told her that he was either asleep or in serious pain.

Searching for his sword the man's eyed the door waiting for the person to walk in. He knew that when he passed out the first time he was in the woods. Waking in someone's home didn't always mean he was safe. There was the possibility that he could have been sold or worse.

Kaoru walked in seeing the man eye her with suspiciously. She knew he must not trust her so she lifted her hands to show she had nothing. Seeing his eye relax she ventured closer to the man in hope of checking his wounds.

"I am sorry I am waiting for the tea to brew. It will take the edge off of your pain. I don't have much but I will help you all that I can."

The man did not answer he simply gawked at her as she continued to move closer to him. Understanding she meant him no harm he simply allowed her to tend to his wounds.

"I am sorry I have yet to give you my name or ask for yours. I am Kaoru Kamiya and you are?"

Still he remained silent as the air thickens within the room waiting for his answer.

"If you do not wish to give me your name, then please give me something to call you by. I don't think you will be up and moving for a while. I will need something to call you."

Still simply staring at her he remained silent. Giving up Kaoru cut her losses and walked to get him some food. She wasn't much of a cook but soup was one thing she could make. Lucky for him. Everything else she burned but that could be blamed on her father. He couldn't cook either.

Bring in a bowl the blued eyed beauty held the spoon to his mouth hoping he would open it. Still he remains still and she was slowly losing her patience. With her last bit of patience Kaoru put the bowl at his feet.

Taking in a breath he was grateful for soup not land in his face. He could tell he was trying her and that she was already tired. Grabbing her wrist he opened his mouth to speak but was colt by the fire in her blue eyes.

"Battousai you may call me Battousai."

"You are the Battousai?"

He did not speak again but simply pushed the bowl to her. He could not fully move his arms enough to eat the soup and would need her to feed him. The young girl quickly got the message and slowly began feeding the dangerous man his soup.

The Battousai was surprise that she was feeding him after learning his name. Most would have finished the job or left him to die. He had killed a lot of men, brothers, sister, mothers and fathers. None were killed for his pleasure or cause. No. But still he killed them and carried the burden that came with it. No trust, a fight at every turn, and blood.

Still knowing he was a killer she feed him, redid his bandages, and gave him another blanket for the night was cold. She even wished him good night with a smile that held no other meaning than she was pleased with her work. He could admit that there was something different about this girl.

Okay I'll admit a bit shaky but what do you think?
