Chapter 2

Meanwhile in the heart of New York there was a house in the upstarts of town where four men lived. All were fighting warriors. Mark was the oldest and has red hair that curved at his neck; solid built and was like a mother to the other occupants in his house. They were the only family he had in this world and he would protect them always. Not like they needed protection. They were the best in the fighting world. A secluded world that only selected people and groups know about. Kenji and Noah were some of the top fighters and anyone to come across them were sure to face their blades. But the most powerful and top fighter they ever had was Shui AKA Shuichi. Shuichi didn't want people to find out his real name because of his past. When Mark found him on that snowy night 4 years ago bruised and battered. He knew that Carlos did something awful to him He had known Shuichi before when he lived with Carlos, but he didn't have much to do with him then. But when he found him, Mark could feel the fighting spirit in him. Mark knew from Carlos that Shuichi had come from Japan to escape something that happened there, that someone betrayed him and now that Carlos betrayed him Mark felt it was his duty, so naturally he took him in. Shuichi's skills with a sword were magnificent. Never seen before. Eventually Shuichi got too much for Mark. He became stronger and colder. Which is why people nicknamed him 'the frozen blade'.

Mark walked into the kitchen and went to the fridge to start breakfast. He started cooking the bacon and eggs and as he started cooking Kenji and Noah floated through the door

'Is that bacon and eggs I smell. Great I am starving'

'Yeah if I were a sandwich I would eat myself'

'Ewww Kenji that is so gross' Noah sad hitting Kenji upside the head

'Will you two shut up' Mark said setting the breakfast on the table 'and where is out other 'happy' house guess'

'Oh Mr. Cheerful is taking a shower' said Kenji as he started to pile bacon on his plate

As the others started eating, said Housemate was up taking a shower. He stepped into the hot water and let the beads of water wet his long black hair and stream down his town and muscular back. He put His hand up on the tiles, giving the water better access to his back. 4 ½ years that Shuichi had been fighting. He was the best. No one in 4 years has beaten him. And so not to get hurt anymore he closed of his heart. Giving it a layer of ice for protection. He only trusted Mark and the others because they rescued him from falling into the depths of despair. Giving him the nickname 'The frozen Blade'. He was the most feared in the fighting world. His cold purple eyes putting fear into even the bravest of men 'I wonder what Yuki will think when he sees me know. He probably wouldn't care, just like Carlos didn't'

Why would I care about you? You surpassed me in sword and in strength. I am supposed to be the best, not some punk. You will never beat me

Carlos betrayed him, just because he had become stronger then Carlos. So Carlos had him Beaten to near death. His Mentor, His friend nearly killed him. After just arriving in New York. Couldn't speak English and didn't know where to go, Carlos was the one who took him in and taught him the ways of the sword but eventually Shuichi got stronger then Carlos and Carlos got jelous of Shuichi's power so before his power could become stronger Carlos had him beaten to near death. That was when Mark found me bruised and battered form the beating he got from Carlos and his men. They left him for dead. Breaking his heart just like Yuki did 5 years ago. Why did Yuki and Carlos have to do that. Was he nothing you either of them. Shuichi leaned into his hand and closed his eyes. His hands balling into fists

'If we ever cross paths Carlos I will get my revenge' Shuichi said in his mind. His thoughts were interrupted

'Hey Shu breakfast is ready. I suggest you hurry before pig one and pig two decide to have more then their fill'

'Yeah, yeah' Shuichi rolled his eyes at the last comment. His thought returning to Yuki ' I wounder how he is. maybe his got a new lover' Shuichi sighed as the sadness was evident in his eyes. he still harboured feelings for Yuki but he didn't want to be hurt again., it was just to painful . He got out and wrapped a towel around his waist and padded to his room. He got dressed and pulled on his leather jacket, using his famous red Japanese scarf to tie his sword to his back. He made it to the kitchen to see the last of the eggs and bacon about to be devoured so before Kenji could devour it down, Shuichi grabbed a fork and stole the last bit and scoffed it in his mouth

'Hey you scrooge that was my piece'

'No that was my piece and only horses eat hay'

'Man why are you so cold, you really need to find a man' Kenji said with a sly grin. Shuichi gave Kenji a death glare and smiled a sly grin himself

'Maybe you should get that picture of Summer Wilson and shoved it up your ass' Kenji went red as Mark and Noah Gaped at his New information 'Summer Wilson isn't she the daughter of the of the man down the street' Mark asked a little curious

'Y…yeah. What she gave it to me for save keeping'

'Yeah sure, sure lover man, I bet you sleep with it under your pillow' Kenji went white as a ghost 'wait you do, let me see' and with that Noah was out the door running to Kenji's room to find the photo with Kenji behind him. Shuichi sighed

'Well I better be off, those clowns are giving me a headache' Shuichi got up and took his keys from the rack

'Hold on Shu don't forget about the fight with the Omi Group leader tonight. They have wanted a fight with you for months .He is a formidable opponent. I want you to get some practice in at the fighting ground, not that you need it' Mark went on with a sly grin

'Yeah maybe those old geezers will actually give me a workout' Shuichi said as he stepped out the door. He walked down the stairs to his precious motorbike. A Honda XBR 500 with good speed and agility, which was good in Shuichi's line of work. He got on and turned on the engine. The sound of the Engine purring was soothing. He stepped of the break and off he went to another day of training.

………………………………………………….

When all this was happening a certain plane had just landed in New York airport. Yuki, Tohma, k, Hiro and Ryuichi walked out of the gate and looked around. Apparently one of NG employees was picking them up to take them to the hotel. They found him jumping up and down with a NG sign.

'Mr Seguchi I am so glad you made it. If you please, the limousine is waiting'

Tohma nodded to the others and they followed him to the limo. They all piled in their luggage and into the car

'What's happening Tohma, how will we find Shuichi in a place like this?' Ryuichi looked up at the city as they where driving through

'Don't worry I t had come to my knowledge there is a fighting club on the outskirts of town where this Shui is said to fight and maybe if we go there tonight we might find some clues'

'I hope your right' Yuki said staring out the window

'Don't worry Eiri when we get to the hotel you can relax'

Humph! How could Yuki relax when Shuichi is out there and not with him?

'Mr Seguchi this is the address 1 was able to find. If was hard let me tell you. This place is so private and secluded that you have to be very high up to now about the fighting ground'

'Fighting Ground' Ryuichi said confusion in his voice

'Yes the fighting ground is a private fighting club where warriors go train, fight and have tournaments'

'But why would Shuichi be there' k said

'Well from what my sources tell me, I have heard of a very strong fighter called Shui who had long black hair and piercing purple eyes. It would be worth checking out ' the driver pointed out

'Yes and lets hope that the address will lead us to Shindou' Tohma said reading over the address again

……………………………………………………

They all gaped at the enormous house in front of them. It looked like a traditional Japanese house they used to have hundreds of years ago. Lanterns were lit to form a path to the entrance. A pond with flowers was situated in the middle that reflected the moonlight. 'Come on let's go' They all followed Tohma and walked down the lightened path. Feeling a little uneasy from the vibes the place was giving off. They stopped in front of the door because two guards who looked like body builders where guarding the door

'I am sorry I can't let you pass. You were not invited and this is a private area'

'I am sorry but we are here to see Shui. We are friends of his and he has invited us to see him' Tohma said in his most polite voice

'I am sorry little man but…..'The guards were stoped mid sentence as a hand appeared on their shoulder 'I am sorry but did you say you are friends of Shui 'Mark appeared behind the guards. These must be the people Shuichi left behind in Japan Mark thought. They don't seem to know about Shui's true identity. Mark looked over at Yuki. The blonde one must be Yuki, the one Shuichi told me about. Maybe what ever happened in Japan, these guys will help Shuichi forget about it and what Carlos did to him, the maybe the ice around his heart will melt away.

'Yes and we are here to see him' Hiro demanded

Whoa, slow down. You have come to the right place. I am not sure how you got a hold of this pace but if you are friends of Shui's, you are friends of mine. You are just in time because Shui's fight is just about to begin ' Mark said turning around as the others followed him into the house. He led them into a giant fighting building where people lined the seats and along the barrier surrounding the ring. They gaped in awe. It was massive. How no one had found out about this place was beyond them

'This is amazing'

'Yes it is' Mark looked around and turned back to them 'By the way how do you know Shui

'Well we heard about him and we believe that he might know where a friend of our is so we have come to ask him some questions'

'Ah ha I see, well you have come to the right place. The fighting ground is a secret society where fighters can come and fight. We have some powerful fighters here. Shui is probably one of….. ' Mark was stopped as the lights dimmed and the door on the left hand side of the ring opened to reveal the Omi group's leader. Hotsoi was a sly muscular man; 6ft 10 inches and muscles that would put a body builder to shame. He fought with a club made out of stone. He could cut a man down with one blow, But Shuichi beats him every time. Mark turned and stared at them in amusement. They could believe their eyes. 'That guys enormous' they all said at the same time

'Yes he is a big guy but Shui has beaten him every time'

'How is it possible to wield something like that' Yuki pointed to the stone club

'Well you see its all in how Hotsoi signals his Chi. He is a formidable opponent but Shui is still better. Oh speak of the devil here he comes' they turned to look at the right door of the ring as it opened. Come out into the light was a man. It was then that the world stopped. This man that stepped out had long black, done to his waist. A leather vest with a dragon sewed on his back. A long sword strapped to his back, which gleamed in the light. But what set him off were his eyes. Deep purple eyes that they seemed to recognize, but they were not warm and loving but where now cold and distant. They had found him. They found Shuichi
