Kenshi began to wander aimlessly through the halls of this grand palace. He found out from Vergil that the people he had attacked earlier were members of 'The Order'. Kenshi thought he looked like a bit of a twat following the halls with his hands. He was asked to go to a bedroom that was near the back of the place. Obviously Kenshi had to try and find this blindly.
It had been a few hours since his encounter with Vergil; Vergil had left him and might of come back in those few hours. Kenshi shuddered slightly at the thought that Vergil could be watching him and laughing so much, that he pissed his pants.
Soon Kenshi heard low murmurs and he stopped in his tracks. He held his breath subtly and continued to follow the wall with his hand. Like he suspected, the wall turned into a sharp corner and the murmurs became louder;
"Did you see that new fellow that came wandering in?"
"Yes. He seems like a threat to our master."
"He's blind, you twit."
"Yes but he killed Garonne."
"Hm. be that as it may, we'll see what Vergil has to say about this in the meeting."
Kenshi's eyes widened behind his blindfold. A meeting about him? Kenshi waited until the murmurs dropped to silence, then he tiptoed around the corner. He had to find this so called meeting. If he was going to be killed by Vergil, then he was going to beat him to the punch, Vergil will die before him.
The murmurs got louder and a loud bang was followed after which killed the voices. Kenshi pressed his back against the wall by the door; thank god someone decided to leave it a little bit open. Kenshi began to really concentrate hard on what the voices were saying. Until one familiar voice overtook the rest of the voices. Vergil's.
"But, what are we to do about the intruder?" came one voice that sounded like they were sitting about a foot away from the wall where Kenshi was standing.
"The intruder is mine to deal with. I do not think he is a threat. But I will find out why he is here." Vergil spoke bluntly.
Kenshi figured that Vergil was probably sick to death of all these meetings.
"No. He will ruin everything! He could be a spy for Dante!" another one cried causing a few surprised gasps.
Kenshi's breath was on hold due to the silence that was followed after that outcry. He heard tapping that could result in Vergil's cane, and then a whimper.
"You think I haven't thought about him being a spy for Dante?! Vergil snapped making the hairs on the back on Kenshi's stand like a stray cats.
Moments passed before another foolish member spoke, "Then what do we do?"
Vergil obviously returned to his original station and sighed deeply.
"We make sure he doesn't leave this place."
Kenshi jumped back and rushed off to an unknown place in the huge building. 'Like hell, he'll keep me here' he thought angrily. 'Also…who the hell is Dante?'
Many thoughts whirled around his head, causing Kenshi to forget about his listening skills. His thoughts were interrupted when he heard laughter not too far away. Kenshi scrabbled back to his feet and decided to get the hell out of here. But being blind, it was slightly harder to do this without being caught, his hand returned to his old friend and he began to follow the wall back.
There were so many pathways to follow and after a while, Kenshi came across a pillar, the one that he swore he could of passed before. After analyzing the pillar, he realized that he was back to the front, and he ran towards the door. He held his arms out and was overjoyed when they touched a piece of wood that completed itself with a metal handle.
Kenshi pushed the door open, just enough so he could fit through and he inhaled the scent of the fresh air once more.
Kenshi's legs had made him travel further than anticipated, and soon he found himself on the far side of the building. He held onto the Iron Gate that stood before him and sighed. He hadn't even been here for a day and already people were after him. The blind man heard a snapping of a twig behind him and he nearly jumped out of his skin. He backed into the shadows preparing to slice someone else in half. But much to his surprise, he heard Vergil's voice.
"Is anyone here?" Vergil called out.
Immediately Kenshi sensed a softer tone to Vergil, it seemed to be filled with sadness and doubt.
Kenshi backed further into the shadows, which seemed to be his big mistake, as a sharp object stabbed him in the back. Kenshi yelped and fell to his hands and knees. Vergil turned around looking directly at the area in which Kenshi was hiding. Vergil didn't stop, he approached the area with caution in each step, until he spotted a pile of a bloody mess, which happened to be Kenshi.
Vergil rushed over to Kenshi and helped the swordsman up.
"The hell happened?" Vergil asked draping Kenshi's weakened arm over his shoulder.
Kenshi was far too embarrassed to tell him the truth or to tell him that he was hiding from him.
"Some-someone attacked…me" he lied hanging his head low. The pain was unbearable. It was even worse than that minor slit across his body he received earlier that day.
"Come on" Vergil replied dragging Kenshi back to the building he just escaped from.
"Ouch! Easy! You're healing a human not a teddy bear." Kenshi moaned as the disinfectant started to sting his skin.
"I would be more gentle if you stopped moving!" Vergil replied huffing with irritation.
Vergil may be a genius in healing people, but when a person doesn't co-operate, it's a right pain in the ass.
Kenshi soon stayed still in his chair. He occasionally winced when the disinfectant really played up.
"There…that should do it.." Vergil said after a while screwing the top back on.
Kenshi rolled his shoulders slightly and clicked his neck.
"Thanks…" he mumbled taking off his blindfold and handing it to Vergil, "Will this work?"
Vergil took the blindfold and inspected it with much concentration and then he shook his head.
"No. It's far too thin. You need a proper cloth."
Kenshi looked confused and he rubbed his bare eyes as he waited. Soon he felt the area around his wound grow cold and tight, "What did you do?" he asked wriggling around a bit.
"I put a cloth over it. It should stop the bleeding until the wound heals." Vergil explained shutting his case filled with equipment.
"Thanks…again." Kenshi thanked before standing up.
