Chapter2-Death
The little girls blue eyes widened.
"Wow!" she exclaimed. She then turned to her eldest brother. "Are you sure its for me?"
She asked holding up a big rag doll.
He smiled down at her.
"Of course Milly. It is your birthday."
"I know but shouldn't we-"
Her elder brother chuckled.
"Milly don't worry. You have years to go before you need to worry about anything."
And he didn't know how wrong those words were.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
A tall blond man with spiky hair entered the saloon.
"Miss give me a double," he called out to the barmaid.
"Sure! Comin' up" came the cheery reply.
A young boy with a shock of black hair looked at this man with interest. Not knowing that his destiny was to be somehow intertwined with this mans fate.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~
"Aniki--- I'm hungry!" whined the little girl.
"Hold on sister, I'll find you something," he said calmly. He peered about feeling ashamed that he had to feed his sister from someone else's garbage.
A dark shadow fell across them. The boy turned slowly around. As his eyes landed on a tall beefy man with reddish brown hair curling around his forehead.
"Well if it isn't the freaks!" the man exclaimed.
The boys' eyes narrowed. He hoped this man wouldn't trouble them.
"What do you want?" he ground out.
"Ha! Thought you wouldn't survive this long." The man said. The man then moved towards the little girl and grabbed a piece of her hair.
"Brother," she whispered her eyes screaming fear looked trustingly to her big brother.
"Let go of her," the boy demanded.
"And why don't you just shuttup?" the man then proceeded to pick her up.
"Let. Her. Go." the boy stated his golden eyes flashing dangerously.
"What was that boy?"
"I SAID LET HER GO!"
"No." the man then punched her in the stomach.
The boy lunged at the man. The man kicked out and caught the boys jaw. An audible crack was heard.
"BROTHER!"
"Shuttup!" The man punched her in the stomach.
"Aa!"
The man smiled and took out his gun her then proceeded to aim it at the girls' stomach.
The boy looked up his gold eyes flashing wildly. He crawled toward the man and kicked at his legs.
The man accidentally released the trigger the bullet just missing the girl.
"Why you-," The man then aimed his gun toward the boy and fixed it upon him. "I'll be sure to get ya this time!" his finger slowly releasing the trigger.
In a few heart stopping moments Legato watched his sister maneuver so that she'd take the bullet.
"Staccato!" he yelled pain in his eyes. "Bastard!" he charged toward the man his anger blinding him.
The man smiled as he turned his gun onto him and shot his arm.
"I'll get you!" he screamed still charging. The mans eyes widened as the seemingly rabid little boy flew at him gouging his eyes.
The man screamed as he fought him off. Slammed the boy into the wall the boys body in shatters.
"You shouldn't mess with me boy."
The boy grunted.
The man turned his attentions to the little girl. His eyes took on a devilish gleam.
"Hoe!" she cried out kicking him in the groin.
"A little gunshot ain't gonna stop me!" she fell from his grip as she smiled encouragingly to her brother.
*BANG!*
Her pupils went small she turned to her brother.
And tried to say something. Only blood gurgled from her mouth.
"Staccato!" he yelled his voice in anguish.
He turned to the man.
"I'm going to kill you," he stated simply.
The man laughed. "But you see boy, how can you kill me when your already dead?"
The boy smiled. The man felt fear. That smile was the welcoming door to death itself. Who exactly was this boy?
The boys anger flooded him like the gates of Hell.
He felt something snap and he felt surged with power.
He looked steadily at the man.
"Hope to see you in hell," the boy commented before giving the drunk man a painful death of having his innards coming out.
The blood gushed out into the alleyway unnoticed by any other passerby.
A roughly cut blond haired man passed by.
He looked into the alley and felt himself turn cold.
A little boy sat there covered in blood. Smiling sweetly at the little dead girl in his arms.
A man lay on the alley floor dead his organs spilling out.
The scene made the man smile. So this was the boy.
He looked steadily at him. Memorizing him.
The boy looked up and glared.
"Listen sir. Bug off or you might be the next one on my list."
"Quit contrary." Came the reply. "Your abilities amaze me."
The boy just glared.
Why wasn't this man scared of him?!
The man smiled.
"Follow me."
It wasn't a command. But it seemed that if you didn't follow this you'd be the one dead. No questions asked.
The boy stood up and followed. His dead sister in his arms.
