I am so sorry that it's been three weeks without an update! I've been really busy lately. I lost my flash drive and had to help her with her state report. I did New Mexico and now she is :). This chapter is sorta short it's only three pages on a word document, but that's pretty long compared to the other chapters. But this is a school assignment "writing a novel" and chapter have to be 2-3 pages each. HAPPY EASTER EVERYBODY! And sorry for the few typos.
Chapter Eight
"Crud!" Kage snapped he turned around just in time to see a knife narrowly miss him, "Darn it!" a sword began to form in his hand, Miyako realized that it was made of shadows, and was almost identical to the one that he had used to drag her here a few days ago. He swung it at a black figure, which drew another knife and threw it aiming for Kage's heart. It managed to graze his side and for a while he stared at the intruder. Surprise clearly written across his face, it was clear that he was wondering how he managed to get hit, before sending the shadow dragon out of the tip of his sword.
The dragon coiled around the assassin and wrapped the end it's tail around the eyes of the imposter. Kage reached through the dragon and quickly disarmed the assassin. He placed the weapons on the desk, when he was finally sure that everything was taken off he said to the dragon, "Knock him out please, Evanescence." the dragon smacked the assassin across the back of his head with one of it's paws before vanishing.
"Hmmm," Kage bent down and studied the now unconscious captive, "Too bad we can't interrogate him the 'traditional' way. We could tie him to a chair and put him under a small light in a small dark room, but there aren't any rooms like this in the house" he looked around, "But we should tie him up. Miyako, would you please find some rope? There should be some in the old piano room, and please hurry. I need to get him tied up before he begins to regain consciousness!"
Miyako nodded and ran out of the room, wondering who would want to kill Kage and why. As she entered the old Piano room she noticed a small black book hidden amongst several piano books. 'I'll have to look at this later.' she thought, 'Now where is the rope?' she franticly started searching before noticing the large pile of thick rope in the corner of the room. As she picked it up and began walking back across the hall to Kage's room she wondered faintly what the rope was there for.
"Thanks," Kage said gratefully as he took it from her, "I hope that this is thick enough." He cut the rope onto pieces and used it to bind up the assassin's hands, feet, and legs, making sure that he wouldn't be able to escape, "And now," he sighed, "We wait."
'Time seems to be going by slower than normal.' Miyako thought, 'But as they saying goes time drags by when you're waiting and nervous'. After about an hour Kage walked over to his desk and picked up his sketchbook and pencils before returning to where he was sitting earlier, waiting for the captive to waken. He turned to Miyako blushing slightly, "Do you mind if I sketch you?" he asked.
"No," she replied, "should I move slightly or stay like this? "
"You're fine like that," Kage mumbled, his pencil already flying across the paper, "Just try not to move to much."
After yet another half hour passed Kage put down the pencil that he was using, "Can I see what you have so far?" Miyako blurted out. Kage said nothing but handed Miyako the sketch pad, "I'm sorry," he said as she took it, holding it carefully as if it were a piece of glass, "I just have the basic guidelines drawn so far, but if you would like to take a break and stretch for a while you can."
"I'm fine." Miyako said staring down at the simple lines that graced the paper. They were all very light; buy Miyako could see the beginnings of a face and the lines where her eyes would be. She handed it back to Kage while saying, "It's really good."
"Thank you!" Kage smiled as he took the pad and picked up another pencil, "Okay, now I'm just going to go over the more 'permanent' lines, the lines that will make up your face and eyes, not really specifically, but just enough to give me an idea of that it will look like in the end. So, what do you like to do in your spare time?" he asked as he began to trace some of the lines he had drawn earlier.
"I enjoy just walking around outside," Miyako said, seeing the confused look on Kage's face she explained, "I love walking through a quiet forest or a calm, empty beach and looking at the scenery, then going back home a trying to my best to draw it." she said the last part really fast, as if embarrassed that she was saying that she could draw.
"You draw?" Kage asked, "Do you draw a lot?"
"Yes, I love to draw," Miyako said, "but mine aren't as good as yours and I can't draw people or animals only scenery…"
"That's the exact opposite as me!" Kage said, "I can draw people and animals (and vampires), but not scenery, whenever I do it ends up looking dead. Like the trees aren't real or the flower is just a piece of paper. There! Done!" Kage put down the second pencil and showed Miyako what he had so far.
This time she could see the outline of her face and her large eyes, and her hair, even the few strands that fell into her eyes. "It's almost done." Kage said proudly, "I just have to draw the final lines, add a little more detail and then shade it in!" he picked up another two pencils and was about to start the final stages when a sudden loud noise jerked then back to the real world.
The assassin had woken up and was struggling to get free, but wasn't making much progress. Kage quickly stood up and held him down, "Hello, there" he said menacingly, he room had a total atmosphere chance, it used to be bright and cheerful but was now dark and threatening, "I have a few questions, such as; who are you? Who sent you here? And most importantly; why did you just try to kill me?" The assassin shook his head and tried to struggle away. Kage picked up his sword that was lying beside him and pointed it at their captive's heart, "I'll ask again." he snapped, "Who are you and who sent you here? Answer!" he pressed the sword down.
"My name's Katil!" the assassin managed to gasp, "I've been sent here to kill you and Miyako to keep the prophesy from being fulfilled!"
MeaKuran- Thankies :). I do love my cliffies. He's reminding me of Edward too, but is based on me. I'm actually just like Kage. I'm thinking of putting in a scene where he totaly freaks out over nothing, the way I do. What do you think?
