A.N- this is the last chapter, sad but true. The good news is that this is
my first completed story. I had to make it seven chapters, because chapter
six was so long. I had to make it that long though, other wise every thing
would not be made clear, to me that is one of the most annoying things a
writer could do, start something, then when it comes to explaining it the
do a half ass job, excuse the expression. Oh well, a big thank you to all
the great reviewers, I don't think I would have completed it with out all
the encouragement ^__^
Also if you have a weak stomach this chapter is not for you, some rather
gruesome descriptions.
Oh well enough from me, for now any way.
-Faith-

A silent promise
Ryu made his way out of the shinobi temple quickly, well as quickly as he could with out looking suspicious. All he was worried about was getting home, nothing else really mattered. When he was far enough from the shinobi village, he stopped and looked around before disappearing in a shower of leaves. This was a dangerous situation, not just for him but Kasumi as well. Ayane would not have sent a small group of assassins to find her sister; she would have sent some of the best from each clan.
Ryu knew that Kasumi had faced large groups of assassins before, but he doubted that she had ever faced so many experienced and as skilled as these would be. He just hoped that he would get to her in time, there was too much at risk, not just for him, but for her as well. He had promised to protect her, and he had promised Hayate even if it was a long time ago.
Ryu reappeared in the deserted street next to the apartment building where he lived, a shower of leaves fell on to the wet sidewalk. He looked around, something was not right he could feel it in the air. Every thing was to quiet, especially for being such a bad part of town. There was always something going on, but now there was nothing. He made his way over to the front of the apartment building, using some of his ninja techniques to make sure that he was not seen. Ryu made his way inside the building, looking around as he went, then he quietly made his way up the many flights of stairs, his leather boots barely touching each step.
Finally he reached his apartment, the door was open slightly, and this did not make him feel any better. This was very bad. Ryu walked into his apartment and shut the door behind him quietly. He looked around, nothing. Then Ryu pulled six throwing stars out of his coat and made his way to the bedroom, the door was wide open and there was no one in sight. He stepped in to the room, looking around as he went. He slowly began to make his way across the room; the crunching sound of broken glass filled the room each time his heavy boots touched the floor. Ryu made his way over to the broken window, he noticed blood on some of the broken shards, and in places there was fresh blood dripping down the walls and on to the floor. He looked out of the window at the ally below.
The sky had become dark once again, making it hard to see every thing clearly. Ryu jumped out of the window to the street below. He landed in a crouching position, and just stayed there for a moment taking in his surroundings, before standing up. Hayabusa looked at his gloved had, he could see the blood glisten on the black leather then he looked around. Blood stained the brick walls and the street was littered with dead bodies, Ryu noticed that some of the assassins had had their throats cut and there were some who had had their heads cut off completely, but there was no sign of Kasumi. Ryu made his way through the bodies looking at each one as he passed, he noticed that one assassin had been cut in half, the blood still flowed out of his body and on to the street. Then he noticed his Katana impaled in another assassin's head pining the dead man to the wall. He went and pulled it out and watched as the mans body fell to the floor, then he heard a weak voice call out to him.
"R-Ryu?"
He looked around, but saw nothing, and then he noticed a shower of cherry blossoms heading for the ground. Kasumi was alive, but barely, her telaportation failed and she began to fall. Ryu didn't reach her in time and she hit the concrete, there was a loud crack and Kasumi cried out in pain as her arm broke. Hayabusa rushed over to her, he knelt down next to her and to his surprise she pushed her self up with her good arm. Kasumi fell into his arms with a groan, he noticed that she had been through his cloths, because she wore one of his white dress shirts, her thong, and he old scuffed boots. But Ryu didn't care about her clothes, her body was going into shock, and even though she was trying stop it her injuries were just to severe.
"I'm so sorry Ryu, I"
But Ryu placed his index finger on her lips then pulled her closer.
"Don't speak, you have done nothing wrong,"
She shook her head and looked at him, bruises had begun to show on her face and blood from her split lip ran down her chin.
"I- I had to kill them, I ha- had no choi" but before she could finish what she was saying she began to cough. Ryu watched her silently as she spat out a mouth full of blood, he knew that she was hurt badly, but he didn't know what to do. He couldn't take her to a hospital, because that would mean that she was still alive, and then more assassins would be sent and not just to kill her either. His mind began to race; he just didn't know what to do. Then once again the darker side of his conscience called out to him. He COULD just leave her to die, get up and walk away. Ryu knew that her injuries were to great and, that she would not live if he left her alone. But the other half of him, the part that loved, cared and respected her screamed no, told him to stay with her. He looked down at Kasumi; did he really have what it took to just get up and walk away, leaving her alone to die? She had pressed her self as close as she could to him. Her body was trembling and she had placed her bloody, bruised, hand on his gloved one. She had partly buried her face against his chest, but Ryu could still see tears of pain and fear roll down her dirty cheek. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, before slowly standing up. Ryu knew what he had to do, he just hoped that he was doing the right thing. Kasumi fell to the ground limply, and then she struggled to push her self up, holding the full weight of her body up with her good arm.
"W-what are you doing?" her voice was extremely pained and every word she spoke was labored.
Ryu turned away from her before opening his eyes.
" Doing something I should have done yesterday."
He began to walk away from Kasumi, with every step he took it seemed to become harder for him just to abandon her.
Images of the previous night began to fill his mind, other things too. Things like the way she had responded to his touch, his kiss. The way her long silky copper colored hair had felt as it fell over his hands and brushed against his skin. And how her body had reacted when they had become one. She had been so warm, so giving and every time she had whispered his name it had been almost heavenly. No it was heavenly; every thing about her was, from her soft sweet voice to her body.
No this wasn't right; he should not feel this way about her. So what if she had made him feel good, and so what if her very presents was intoxicating? He was a ninja, alone. He needed no one, even if he did love her. No that wasn't right either, he should not love her. But yet he did, why? He did not know, he just did. And it was not because she was good in bed; he liked her for who she was. The sweet, kind gentle girl he had known growing up as a child. But that was wrong to, he should have felt nothing. That was what he had been trained to do, and that was why he kept away from people in general so that he would not be burdened by attachment. He was not meant to feel any thing, but he did.
"Ryu, please don't leave me."
He stopped. But why? Was it because of her sweet begging voice, calling out to him, or was it that he was having second thoughts? No, he knew what he had to do. He had to keep walking; he was never this indecisive in battle, because if he were he would already be dead. But he was not fighting another person; he was fighting his feelings. Feelings that he should not have, feelings which had been gone ever since he had become a super ninja. He turned his head slightly, his face was expressionless but Kasumi could see the conflict with in his deep green eyes. He couldn't leave now, not when she needed him the most. Yes he was strange, and he did frighten her, but he was the only person left in the world that cared for her, even loved her. She had seen it in his eyes when he had held her in his arms, even if he wouldn't admit it, she just knew he did. Ryu turned to face her, he watched as she struggled to her feet, holding her broken arm close to her chest. Tears of pain and sadness rolled down her cheeks, she began to walk towards him stumbling with almost every step she took.
Thunder echoed through the dark sky, and it began to rain. The warm drops of water instantly soaking every thing they touched. Hayabusa watched as the rain fell on to Kasumi's face, washing her tears away. She stumbled forward, almost collapsing to the ground but she managed to stay on her feet. Her body was shaking violently, and she only just made it to where Ryu stood before her legs finally gave out and she fell on to the wet street. Kasumi looked up to Ryu, her big brown eyes asking him for help, but he just shook his head.
"I'm sorry Kasumi, but I have to go." He said in his usual unreadable tone, but behind his rock hard exterior, the runaway could see that Ryu was being torn apart from the inside. Even though he was trying to hide this from her, the sadness in his eyes gave every thing away. He turned away from her again and continued walking,
"You made a p-promise, you promised to protect me. You also m-made that very same promise to Hayate. Are y-you just going to throw your friendship away? B-because if you walk away, that is what you will be doing." Her voice was shaky and every word was filled with fear.
Ryu stopped again, she was right. He would be throwing away his friendship with Hayate, but it had been Hayate himself who had told him to kill her. So why should he stay with her? If he let her die then he would have done his job, and would have not lied to the council. But then again, Hayate had seemed to be acting strangely. So what? He could leave her if he wanted to, he would not have to go and answer to any one. He turned to face her again, this time his eyes were cold, but they still held the same tortured look as before.
"You have no right to tell me about friendship, and promises. You made a promise to the Mugen Tenshin, and broke it. And that is why you are in this situation in the first place. I don't owe you or Hayate any thing"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he regretted what he had said. Hayabusa knew that he to had no right to talk about keeping promises, he to had broken his promise to his clan when he had helped Kasumi. He turned his back towards her and began to walk again; he just had to keep walking. Kasumi just sat on the cold street trembling; she had misjudged Ryu greatly. He was still the same arrogant prick he had always been, but still he had to keep his promise he just had too.
She managed to stand up again; her vision was becoming blurry and excruciating pain shot through her arm with the slightest movements. This was her last chance; other wise Ryu would leave her forever. Kasumi stumbled over to the wall, resting her back against the cold brick for support. Then she gathered what little strength she had left before calling out to Ryu.
"Please, I need you more than ever Ryu"
This time he continued walking, ignoring her words.
"Listen to me, your just going to give Ayane what she wants. You said you're self that if I died, she would win."
He still continued to ignore Kasumi. She couldn't take it any more; she had to tell him how she felt. Unlike Ryu she could not just push her emotions away.
"Ryu, please don't go. I LOVE YOU!"
This time he stopped dead in his tracks, he turned round slowly. Had he just heard what he thought he had heard? Did she just say that she loved him?
"What did you just say" his voice was calm, but there was an uneasiness to his words that was never usually there.
"I love you Ryu." She felt better for telling him the truth, but she just hoped that he would take her words for what they meant and not think that it was one last desperate attempt to get him to stay. Ryu turned slightly, and looked over to where she was standing.
Her long dark copper hair was dripping wet, and her wet bangs clung to her forehead. The rain was beginning to dilute the blood that stained the shirt she was wearing, as well washing away her own blood, making some of her wounds visible.
Ryu watched as Kasumi slid down the wall, and on to the wet ground. Her torn shirt soaking up some of the water making the dirty white fabric even more transparent than it was, revealing more of her body to him. But Ryu was still to distracted by her words to even notice her body. No one had ever told him that they loved him, not even his own mother. Did she really mean it? Or did she just say it to try and get him to stay with her? She meant it; he could see it in her big brown eyes. Kasumi was not the type of girl to say something like that and not mean it. Then in that moment, Ryu came to his senses. What was he thinking? He couldn't leave her to die, she was right. He could not, and would not allow Ayane to win. And more importantly he would keep his promise, it was already going to be hard enough to talk to Hayate, a lie was one thing but having to look his best friend in the eyes and knowing that he had left her to die was another. And if he did leave her then what she had said would be true, he would be discarding her. No, he had to stay with her; he couldn't leave her now. Part of him was still telling him to leave her, but he just ignored his random thoughts. He had made a promise, and he wasn't about to loose one of his best friends, or the woman he loved because of it.
Ryu walked over to where Kasumi sat, and knelt down next to her. She looked in to his emerald green eyes, and then pulled him close to her in an embrace. He put one arm around her waist and his other on the back of her head.
"I'm so sorry Kasumi. Can you ever for give me?"
She nodded, then pulled Ryu even closer. Yes she could forgive him, in time any way. She knew that Ryu had been battling his emotions, his eyes had told her that.
"Don't be frightened, I will look after you, for as long as I can I promise."
Ryu buried his face in her wet hair and moved his hand down her back. They just sat in the rain holding each other. And in the silence of his mind, Ryu made another promise to Kasumi, but this was a silent promise. This had been all because of Ayane, and he would make sure that he would do every thing in his power to make Ayane pay for all the pain she had caused Kasumi and her brother. And he would make sure that she paid with her life.
A.N- my first story finished! I am so happy. Well an interesting twist, no? I know that it was long and may have board some of you, but it got every thing out in the open. What would every one think of a sequel? There will be one coming soon, but first I'm going to work on my other fics. I'm hoping to get my Inu-Yasha story finished next then get to a certain point in my other DOA fic. A big thank you to all the great reviews I had, it was nice to see that every one liked this story. A very big thank you goes out to my friend Tami (she gave me the idea for making Ayane have slept with Hayate/Ein), and my pain in the ass friend Kaori chan. I guess if she hadn't helped when I was sick I would have never finished. Just to let you all know, the sequel will be called: Change Of Heart. A fitting name right? There will be a lot more Ryu and Kasumi action, and you will also see a lot more of Ayane and Hayate. Also, I have done a few more character sketches, if you would like to see, just let me know. Well that will be all from me, for now anyway. Until the first chapter of Change Of Heart. -Faith-
Kaori chan- I guess Ryu isn't that big of an ass after all. Faith: I told you so, ^__^
