Chapter 11: Request of a young boy
Sakura walks behind Shadow Sword, noticing how silent he has become since his fight with blade. HE was sullen and it looks like he was remembering something. She looks at him noticing something different in his eyes. He had a bloodthirsty look upon his face as he walked toward the town of vexen. Sakura looks up at him.
"Hey whats going on?"
"what do you mean?"
"I mean that suddenly your all quiet and you have that look on your face."
"what look?"
"The look of revenge. The look of hatred and anger. That look." Shadow Sword is silent as he takes in her question.
"This is a matter that I never solved. You would not understand."
"Well try me. You don't have to be so secreative around me you know." She gives him a glare and S.S. crumbles under it.
"Very well. That boy's name was originally usagi. I taught him when he was a little boy. I taught him the ways of honor." He looks at her perplexed face. "Yes even we assassains have honor. We follow a code of killing and to never kill without good reason. At least from my clan. But suddenly my clan started to disappear. All of us that followed the assasains code started to vanish during missions. I later found out that the guild master did not like our way. I left that place and started to live on my own. I never told my students because I didn't want them to worry about being killed. But blade was smart. He probably figured it out which is why he was sent on this mission. He was a pawn to distract me. But the guild leader did not expect this." He holds out the piece of paper and gives it to Sakura. She takes it and reads it out loud.
"Shadow Sword, I now know why you elft us. I have been sent on a mission to kill you. I do not like this way anymore and I ask of you this. Whichever one of us lives please carry out this request. Kill the leader f the assasain guild. He has no honor like we once did. I am sorry that it must end like this. PLease do not tell sheena. It is better that way." Sakura re-reads the letter silently and looks up at S.S. He looks back at her and starts to explain.
"This is a request from a man. Before he was still a boy but he was willing to put his life on the line. I cannot refuse that. I cannot." He continues walking silently and sakura decides tor emain quite. They continue walking silently until they reach the city of Vexen. Before they eneter town Shadow Sword turns to Sakura.
"I request that you stay. I do not know if I will make it out. If I do then they will hunt me down. I do not need you to be involved. Please stay out of this. For my sake and yours." Sakura nods as she understands what he is saying.
"Good. That's a good girl." Sakura embraces him telling him that he better come back. She waves goodbye as he enters into Vexen, home of the deadliast assasains.
Shadow Sword looks around, noticing that nothing has changed. Thew city is still full of busy and bustle and looks nothing like the town of an assasains guild. You have to know who to speak to and how much to give him. He walks into a black alleyway and see's a begger dressed in black. He smiles and walks over to him bumping him and dropping some money in his hands.
"I need someone." The boy smiles and with his finger draws something in the dirt then runs off. S.S. turns back and looks at what is says. Go to magistarte's house at late tomorrow night. We will do rest. S.S. smiles as he gets ready for tonight.
He goes to the town magistarte's house and walks inside. He sees two children and one man. They look up at him and asks what he wants.
"I have a job for the head of assasains."
"Now why would he want your time?" S.S. smiles and holds out a impressive amount of money.
"Because I can make it worth his time." They all smile and lead him down a hidden passage from a painting in the room. They walk down the levels and into intertwining passageways. They go into a room where a man hidden in shadows is. His voice is booming.
"What is it that you desire?"
"Oh most humble of greatness, might I ask my request in private?" He laughs a roaring laugh and dismisses the people by the door. Shadow Smiles and thanks him.
"Well? Go on with it." Shadow Sword bows and smiles once more
"I stand before you,leader of the assasains with a request."
"What request is that?"
"To die" The leader breaks out in laughter.
"What is so funny?"
"Why nothing at all Shima." Shadow Sword gasps. How could he know his name
"I'be beent racking you for some time now." He snaps his fingers and Shadow Sword feels a blunt object hit his head.
"Now it is time to tie up loose ends." Shadow Sword hears laughter as he blanks out and blacks out.
Next time on Shadow sword: So we gonna kill him or what? No way man. The boss is gonna try that new mind control drug on him. But won't that kill him? Hahaha. As if we care. Next time on Shadow Sword chapter 12: Escape
