The Blood

26

We go


Hiko watched the exchange between the two young Kamiya descendants and his eyebrows furrowed when he observed the striking difference between the two. He had never met a Kamiya before he met Kaoru, but he had heard of their unique blood, ability to kindle magic and summon beasts. The thing about the younger Kamiya that worried him the most was the hair. It was common in the Kamiya family to have odd-colored eyes, but their hair was usually dark. Kenshin's bright sunny hair was a clear anomaly.

Furthermore, while Kaoru's aura was bright and calming, Kenshin's was dark and hostile. They certainly made a pair of opposites. It was enough of studying for the day, so he turned to Katsura whose eyes were set on him, "Now you understand what's best for Kenshin? You were a fool to think about separating them," said Hiko in his usually gruff and accusing voice.

Katsura's eyes flashed angrily and he charged against the samurai challenging him so openly. Hiko charged as well, not waiting for Katsura like last time and the leader of the Isshin Shishi blinked in surprise but held on determinedly. The encounter was over quickly as Hiko somehow arched his sword in a specific way that sent Katsura's sword flying until it clattered on the wooden wall brutally.

Katsura gasped and turned to Hiko in order to try to deflect any incoming attack but to his surprise the samurai wasn't were he had thought he was. A moment An instant later a blade pressed against Katsura's neck, "Kenshin leaves," the black-haired man stated.

Within seconds Hiko took hold of Kaoru's shaking form and after a knowing glance to Kenshin walked out of the Isshin Shishi headquarters.
