Chapter 1
Merciless assassin
A bolt of lightning flashed through the dark night sky. It illuminated the surroundings for about a fraction of a second. In that brief flash it also illuminates, the figure of a person draped in black who is running as fast as the lightning itself.
Along with this, there is a sound of desperate footsteps that occasionally splashed into a puddle or two... Also, there is the sound of deeply ragged breathing as someone ran away from certain death.
Another flash appeared; only this time it wasn't the lightning. It was the flash of a very sharp sword being unsheathed. In a single quick swipe, the running figure it sent to the ground. A single shriek escaped into the night air, but was drowned out by the rumbling thunder.
The lightning flashed once again. And this time it revealed a man on the ground, lying in a pool of his own blood. And standing right beside him was the figure in black, who still had the sword held in his hand. The blood on his sword dripped to the ground.
The without a second thought, the figure in black walked away.
Such was the mission of an assassin. Short, efficient and extremely deadly… He was not called 'Devil's Wind' for nothing.
He was merciless. His hair was as black as the coat he wore and his eyes were shining gold.
He walked away with his hands tucked in his pockets, not the least bit disturbed at the deed he had committed.
He looked lazily at the moonless night sky. Another night; another job well done. He felt a few drops of cold rain fall upon his skin. So he unsheathed his sword and let the rain wash away the blood of his latest victim.
He made his way to his apartment. It was very luxurious. Considering the enormous pay he received for every target it shouldn't be much of a surprise.
He lay on his large bed and dropped off to sleep. Shun Kazami was his name… But not many people knew him by that name. Everyone preferred to call him 'Devil's Wind' and remain on nothing more than professional terms.
After about five hours morning came. He spent a major portion of the morning sleeping.
At about noon, he woke up and got breakfast.
Shun then wore his black leather coat and made his way outside.
He raised his arm to shield his face from the heavy heat of the afternoon sun.
To be truthful, he was quite a good looking guy. He had long-black hair that was tied in a neat knot. And his golden eyes were really beautiful.
He walked into the park; another guy who wore a similar coat was sitting on the bench. Shun sat down beside him. The other guy slipped a piece of paper into Shun's hand before walking off.
Shun opened it and looked at the address of the place he was to receive payment for last night's ordeal.
He made his way to the building and collected a large briefcase of money.
At about five in the evening he set out again. This time, he was moving away from the city. He walked and walked and soon came to a little garden of flowers.
He climbed up a tree and sat on its branch, waiting for his 'secret' entertainment.
He didn't have to wait long before a melodic sound reached his ears. And soon an orange-haired girl made her way to the garden. She was humming a soft tune as she sat in the flower bed.
She worked for a little while weeding the garden. Her soft chocolate eyes danced in joy as it reflected the light of the evening sun.
Shun smiled a little from where he sat. This girl; she came here everyday … At times she would be happy and at times she would spend her time crying all alone in the little garden…
And the golden-eyed assassin would watch her silently, marveling her delicate personality.
This was the only time his face showed any emotion at all…
Without knowing it, this girl had seized his curiosity with her temperament.
She stood up and twirled once before picking a rose from the garden. She took a whiff of it's scent and then opened her mouth.
Shun closed his eyes, getting ready to hear her song. But none came, instead she voiced a statement.
"You know…I know that you are here…I know that you have been watching me."
Shun's eyes widened. No way, It was impossible for her to know that he was there…
He did not answer.
"How long has it been now ...Ah yes, about three months or so since you started observing me every day."
Shun was further startled. She was on to him? He wondered if he should reveal himself or not.
"Oh come on….You have been watching me so long. Don't you think it is about time I saw your face?"
There was a soft thud as Shun leapt down from the tree.
He then made his way into the clearing, revealing himself to her.
Her eyes widened as they fell on his handsome face.
"Hi there….Nice to finally meet you…"
"Weren't you bothered at all when you knew that someone was observing you?" he asked.
She looked at him in surprise.
"Well honestly, I was uneasy at first. But then when I noticed that you were no harm to me, I let it go."
"Hm…How can you be so sure that I am of no harm to you?" he asked; his voice dripping with seriousness.
"Well, if you were a pervert, you would have made your move by now." She answered, shrugging her shoulders. "Oh... Almost forgot… My name is Alice Gehahbich…. And you are?"
Shun didn't answer straight away. He was still trying to figure out why he revealed himself to the orange-haired girl. Logically, there was no need for him to, yet he did.
She was beautiful and her voice was sweet. It was music to his ears.
"I asked you about your name." she explained again, tilting her head a little.
"Uh…It's Shun…Shun Kazami.."
"Shun?" she repeated… "What a strange but nice name." she stated innocently.
Shun couldn't help but be amused by this girl's aura.
She was beautiful, cute, open and honest and he hated to admit it, but he like that about her.
"Oh…What a beautiful sunset." She exclaimed as she looked at the beautiful orange sky. The sky was almost the same colour as her hair.
"So…Shall I expect to see you tomorrow?" she questioned.
"It depends." He answered.
"Huh?" she couldn't read this guy. He was just too unpredictable…
She laughed a little. "Are you always this serious?"
"Pretty much…"
"So…I will be expecting you." She said. "Goodbye." She said before half-running away.
"But…" he then stopped short "Ah never mind."
He watched as her figure disappeared round the corner.
Alice was puzzled as well… She couldn't comprehend why that little exchange with her 'observer' was making her heart beat so fast.
She didn't know why she felt so flustered when she talked to him. They didn't even talk much. But her heart was still beating like she had run at least a mile or two.
And so was the first meeting of the 'Angel' and the 'Devil'.
How was it?
