Chapter 3:Battle in Edo
What do I do? Kyo thought, Should I say sorry? She'd think I was getting soft. No, that wouldn't work!Kyo would never let anyone think he was getting soft! No one will think that about me! He snarled. They don't have to know...Urgh! I sure hope ugly can keep her mouth shut.
Kyo opened his room door and peeked out,looking for people on both sides. Good no one's awake. He walked down and was a foot from Yuya's door when he heard footsteps from behind.
"Hey Kyo!" Benitora whispered. "Why're goin' to Yuya-han's room?"
"I'm not idiot!"He answered evily.
"Then where are you goin'?"
"The kitchen's this way too, numbskull." Kyo glared at him. "I was gonna get a midnight snack but maybe I could settle for you instead!"
"You wouldn't-" Benitora started. "Uh...sorry Kyo, I have things to do!" With that he ran off down the hallway.
Yuya faintly heard her room door open. She had been sleeping and she had a terrible nightmare. Kyo wouldn't leave me when we finds Sakuya would he? She almost cried. No! It was just a nightmare! But still he dosen't love me he loves Sakuya-
She broke out of her thoughts when she felt someone getting on her bed. What the-The person was moving up the bed! She shut her eyes tight. Even though it was really dark she didn't want to take any chances.
The warm breath of the person was on her face. They must be not even an inch from my face.
"Hey dog-face." The person said.
"Kyo?" She said surprisedly.
"I'm...sorry." He answered.
Wait a minute am I dreaming! Kyo as actually being nice to her! "Kyo?"
Just after she said that she saw him moving toward her. His nose was touching hers now and she felt the warmth of his body on hers. She felt him move his face down into a kiss she never thought would be for her. Maybe I have a chance after all. Or maybe i'm just dreaming...But if this is a dream I never want to wake up. Kyo broke away and got up.
"Don't let this go to your head, and keep your mouth shut." With that he left.
Okuni was outraged! I know I saw him go in Yuya's room. I didn't hear any shouts either...But she knew him longer! She loved him even when Sakuya first did. It won't be right if he falls in love with her. No. He wouldn't do that,he's Kyo. Besides he's mine.
Okuni watched as Kyo hesitantly came out of Yuya's room. He vanished in a few seconds, for a samurai's movement could be as fast as the light itself.
"How about I pay a little visit to your room, huh Kyo?" She whispered to herself.
Soon she had walked all the way to Kyo's room. Silently, she opened the door. As soon as she stepped through it a sword was at her throat.
"Oh, it's only you fox trash." Kyo smiled rudely.
"I saw you go into Yuya's room, Kyo." She answered calmly.
"I was gonna give her a reminder of just who's boss around here." Kyo snarled. "She was sleeping, so I thought about waking her up."
"Why didn't you?" Okuni asked impatiently.
"I didn't want to hear her loud mouth." He replied simply.
Kyo turned around and closed the door. Okuni heard him get into bed then mumble,"Stupid women!"
How rude, she thought, to treat your future wife that way.
Going to her own bedrom,she decided it was time for her to rest too. After all, tomorrow would be a big day.
Benitora was delighted to be on the road again.He liked staring at Yuya's butt while walking down the it.
"Benitora,"Yuya smiled,"What are you looking at?"She turned fully around ran to him and hit him hard on the head.
"Ow, Yuya-han!"He whined,"I'm supposed to look at you like that!"
He watched her stomp off back to her spot. She sure had been around Kyo lately, or was he just getting more jealous?Urgh! Why am I so confused?
Yuya couldn't stop staring at Kyo. What's wrong with me? He's just a good bounty and good protection. She sighed, knowing she felt more for him than that. But he's not just that is he? He's saved my life many times and even kissed me...But that dosen't mean he feels the same way I do. He couldn't...this is Demon Eyes Kyo. He's only loved Sakuya and Muramasa...and he wouldn't have room in his heart for me. She felt her cheeks get hot as Kyo glanced back at her.
"Yuya-han are you blushing?" Benitora asked.
"Don't talk to me Tora, I'm still mad at you."
"I bet it's because you were thinking about me!" He jumped with undoubted delight. "One day we can even get married Yuya-han and we..."
Yuya got back to her own thoughts. She knew Benitora would go on for about an hour or more. Oh Kyo, I wish you knew how deeply I care for you. But even if you did I still couldn't have you. You wouldn't feel the same. She lost herself in her thoughts as they walked.
Before she even realized it they had reached Edo. Oh no! Kyo's life is going to be in danger again! Why can't he turn down a challenge? This is all because of me...
"Hey Mutt-face," Kyo yelled, "Come on or you're gonna be left behind!"
She ran realizing she had stopped at that thought. Oh, that wonderful voice he has when he's not near an enemy...She caught up to Kyo and the others just in time. She jumped, startled as someone grabbed her from behind.
"Kyo, drop our sword or i'll kill your woman!" The man said with an evil laugh. "You will lose this duel to my master!"
"How about this," Kyo saisd calmly, "You let go of the girl or i'll cut your head off."
"You forget Kyo," The servant smiled, "I have a sword to her neck and my master is somewhere around you."
Kyo don't do anything stupid...I don't care about my life, but I do about yours.
"No, you forget," Kyo said from behind them, "A samurai knows many tricks."
The image in front of them turned into a log. Oh, that move!
Just then Yuya felt herself moving. She watched Kyo slice what he thought was the man. The log fell in half as another man came up behind Kyo.
Yuya bit the servants hand as hard as she could. He let go of her with a satisfying yelp.
"Kyo!" Yuya screamed running toward him. He turned around to see her jump in front of him. She spread her arms out to block the attack. He was too late to save her. Kyo watched her smile at him as the sword went through her stomach. No! She can't die because of me!
The man pulled his sword out and smiled. Kyo caught Yuya as she fell and pulled her close to him.
"Kyo, are you okay?" She asked quietly.
"Yes, but you're..." He couldn't finish his sentence. He held her head to his chest. "Yuya..."
"Kyo..." She smiled, "Promise me you won't die in a fight."
"I promise." He said in a voice that was almost a whisper. "But you promise me that you won't die yet."
"I...I promise..." She said as her eyes closed.
"No!" Kyo shook her. "Yuya..." He laid his face on her wound and felt tears come down.
He looked up at the sky crying. "YUYA!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. NO! NO YOU CAN'T DIE HERE! YOU CAN'T DIE! I didn't even get a chance to tell you how I feel...
"Yuya, just remember your brother." Kyo hoped she heard him. He looked at the two men, his eyes burning with rage.
"Oh look," The master smiled, "Demons can cry!"
"What's weird is he's crying over some stupid mortal girl!" The servant laughed. "Her name's Yuya, right Master Ryatsu?"
"Yes, but what does it matter if she's dead?" Ryatsu shrugged. "Oh, and don't say my name in public Sukyatsu."
Benitora fell to his knees and cried. No! My sweet Yuya-han can't die! She never did anything to hurt anyone. She was an innocent. She dosen't deserve to die!
"YUYA-HAN!" He yelled. "DON'T DIE YUYA-HAN!"
As Kyo got up he rushed to her. Benitora looked into Kyo's eyes and felt a fear so great it made all of his others seem funny.
"Benitora," Kyo said, "Watch over her."
He didn't even have a chance to answer. Kyo vanished and he saw him put his sword to Ryatsu's throat from behind. Get him Kyo. Get revenge for Yuya-han.
"I'm gonna make you pay for what you said about her." Kyo said, his voice nothing but evil.
Benitora could now see why they called him a demon. He could tell in his eyes Kyo would give them no mercy. But Benitora never once thought that, after all those mean words, Kyo could do this for Yuya. Even though he didn't admit it she was still his friend. But the intensity of his rage couldn't have been for just a friend. No. Kyo would never love another person than Sakuya.
"I'll make you wish you were the one dead," Kyo said, " BOTH of you!"
"Is that a threat?" Ryatsu and Sukyatsu asked in unison.
"No," Kyo replied, "It's a promise."
And now the battle starts. You have to win Kyo. Do it for my Yuya-han.
