(warning, slight rape)

-

Sakura straightened the jacket around her corset. This was daily for her. Just walking back to the apartment she lived in with just a corset and a jacket. She hadn't changed since she had performed today, so she still had her make up and feathers in.

But that man. He wasn't interested in her because she had a good body or a pretty face. Hell he wasn't interested in her at all! But he wanted to be her friend odviously. She smiled at the napkin with his address and number on it. What a sweet man... of course he was taken. She should have known.

Should she be selfish and try to ruin that relationship with his fiancee? She would die for that type of guy. Caring... but he no interest in her as she had thought before... this thought made her depressed.

There was a sudden pain in the back of her head and she fell forward with a yelp. She turned over, while rubbing the back of her head to see an old, yet young man. He had a beard and a large stick oin his hand. "W-what?" she said, her eyes widening. The man said nothing abd bent down, grabbing her wrist and pulling her up.

Sakura was dragged to a dark alley and pushed back against the brick building. "W-what are you doing to me? Help!" she squeeled and shook. The man smacked her across the face again and kissed her hard. Tears rolled down her eyes and she shook her head out of his kiss. "Stop it!"

"Quiet girl!" The man demanded and tore a pocket knife from his... pocket... and put it to her throat. Sakura quieted, and watched the man undo her jacket. Exposing her corset and barely clad body. He kissed her neck.

Sakura shut her eyes and cried. "Stop please! I have money!" she yelped.

And suddenly... he stopped. The cold knife left her throat and there was a yell of pain from the man. Sakura opened one eye, gasped at what she was seeing, and then opened both eyes. A hooded figure, bent over the now dead man, and ripping at something. "Oh my goodness!" she whispered and covered herself with her jacket and then covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh my goodness..." she repeated and slid down the wall to her knees.

There were jerking movements from the man in the cloak. She couldn't see what he was doing to the body, but blood began to roll out from under the dead man. Then the cloaked figured froze, and spun around like a dear that had heard a noise.

"Y-you... y-you... killed him!" Sakura was speechless, she sat in tears. Her hands covering her mouth. "Yes, I know... I killed him." Said the man. He stood. "Oh my gosh... you look like..." She just froze. He looked like Dr. Lei! Same brown hair and soft mahogany eyes. Sept this mans eyes were different. They were colder and one was dark brown and the other a lighter brown.

"Like?" he said. Ina normal voice. But this voice scared Sakura. She cried harder and shook her head in a no jester as he walked closer to her. "No? You want me to stay away from you? Why my dear?" A grin slid across his face. He didn't have an evil voice, it was very manly and yet boyish at the same time, oh but it sounded like he had things on his mind. Horrible things, demented things.

"Don't kill me!" Sakura said as he still walked closer and kneeled down infront of her on one knee. She covered her face with her arms and shivered. "Why?" He said and tilted his head.

Now this was a weird question. Sakura had a very stressful life. Why shouldn't he kill her? Why shouldn't she let this murderer end it all? Why? She shook her head again and coward in the corner. "I-I don't know..."

"Do you fear death?" He asked and reached out, taking her wrist in his hand and lowering it. He was very gentle with her.

She blinked and wiped her tears from her red and cold cheeks. "I-I guess you can say that..."

"Do you fear me?" He asked. Leaning in closer.. his face inches from hers. Sakura jerked her head back. It hit the wall and her eyes got wide from the pain. But she ignored it and nodded to his question. He got closer and his eyes shut and Sakura shut hers tightly and turned away. "Please don't."

"I wouldn't hurt you.." He said in a whisper. Sakura shook her head anyway... he was scary. She didn't know what to think of him. He just appeared out of no where, and saved her from rape. But at the same time he ripped that man apart! Sakura looked past the man in cloak and at the body. She was stopped when she felt hands grasp her shoulders thightly and shake her. "WHY DO YOU FEAR ME?!" The man said. Sakura cried again and winced. His hands were very stong against such sensitive skin. "Please!" She covered her face with her hands and shook her head, "You are scarying me now!"

The man let her go and stood... turning away and leaving. Now Sakura saw the body. On it's back, inside out. His intestine hanging from his stomach like speghetti in a bowl. His head tilted and blood everywhere... Sakura screamed in horror and fainted.
