Chapter 1
How is she still alive?
10 years have passed since that day. The battousai is stronger and more powerful than ever. Anyone near him can sense his cold, fearsome aura. His eyes still a cold, amber, his red hair flaming, and his grim, tight lips have just grown more frigid and menacing over the years. But he has not forgotten his fight for a better future. The Edo government became more demanding of the people everyday. Insane taxes, killing of people for enjoyment, and the screaming of girls getting raped was an everyday thing now. Killing off the pigs who controlled this government would bring it to an end to give the people of Japan a better life. Sacrifices were necessary, no matter who or what.
The Battousai drove down the road towards the broken down building. Droplets of blood fell as he walked. He steps inside and goes into his bathroom for his cold and warm shower. He steps out with his flaming red hair loose, leaving little droplets of water on the floor. He moves around his apartment to prepare dinner as the phone rings. He walks over and picks up the receiver.
"Greetings Himura"
" Likewise Katsura-san"
" I have a new assignment for you tonight. This job will be a little different from your normal jobs. You must kidnap the fiancé of Takeda Kanryu, make sure she is still alive."
"Descriptions and name?"
"We do not know who she is, but we have seen her around her penthouse. She has raven hair and blue eyes, kidnap her at midnight tonight. She will be in the penthouse of the Sakura Blossom Hotel"
The battousai put the receiver down and got dressed into his black outfit. He took his apartment's card and car keys and walked down the steps.
'What an unusual assignment, why should I care? Probably wants her for a ransom'
Kamiya Kaoru sat by the window of her penthouse looking at the city. Her blue eyes dull. She simply stared at the window and wondered what she should do about herself. A single tear rolled down her cheek. It wasn't the first tear. Suddenly she felt a flame inside her flicker and begin to grow. A feeling of hatred she hadn't felt in years. She was here because of him. He was the start and cause of all her problems, and there was nothing she could do about it. She didn't even know his name or what he looked like.
The anger in her brought back some life into her eyes and she stared down at the city. It was full of people bustling around in their cars and bicycles, attending to something, or going home to a loving family.
A family. How she wished she could have one, one without hidden catches and one that loved her.
She was to marry Kanryu tomorrow. That would be a family, but not a real one. Just a cover up to get her out of the country legally so no one would suspect a thing.
She seriously wished someone would take her away from this madness right now, and to roll time back by 10 years, where her mother was still alive and her father sane. When she was 10, her life had been perfect; she had a loving family and everything she dreamed of owning now. As she was about to daze off again, but the door was opened by a bunch of women who were her fitters for a wedding gown. They yanked her off her chair and made her stand on a stool while they took out their measuring equipment. A hairdresser came and started to fumble and pull at her hair.
She just stood there like a doll, letting them do whatever they wanted to her as she just stared straight ahead, giving up on all life.
After two hours or more of fussing and being poked by needles, she was in her wedding gown, with her hair done, and makeup applied. Her wedding was to be at 1 am in the morning tomorrow, which is only three hours from now. The time was set at such a late hour so no one would pay attention as they would board a plane to America right after the wedding. Why had Kanryu wanted her to dress up for a wedding with no guests? Oh well, she didn't ponder on the question.
She was told by her fitters and stylists not to move around too much, or the makeup would be smudged and she won't look pretty. Like she cared. She was being married off to some man she has never seen before for some reason she didn't know of. She was to do it, or her father would die. Even though her father didn't act like a father to her anymore and did some things she didn't like, he used to love her and was her only living relative on the planet so she would still die protecting him.
She went over to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water. She then removed the clips and barrettes from her hair and dunked her face into the water getting water down her front and all over her wedding gown. She never liked make-up; it would always get runny and end up damaging her skin anyway. She didn't care if the fitters and Kanryu would yell at her or beat her. She was just a lifeless doll right now. She wished she could die right now, but if she killed herself, her father would die too.
She got out of the tub and walked down the hall into the living room. She sat on the couch and a sorrowful memory came back to her.
~*~Flashback~*~
Kaoru was only 10 years old. She was having dinner at her best friend's house because it was her birthday. She was allowed to spend the night for the special occasion. Even though it was the 21st century, they still lived in the dojo passed down from their ancestors. She was having the time of her life! She got play with all of her friends, and her mom wasn't there to tell her not to this, or not to do that. It was heaven. They were just about to watch Misao blow out the candles when the door burst open suddenly.
Standing there in his sleeping clothes was her father. All he said was, " You, get your stuff and come with me". She silently obeyed, wondering why her father was acting so strangely. He drove her home and led her to her mother's room. It was from then on, that she would shed the many tears she did.
Someone unknown had assassinated her mother. They didn't even know why. Her mother had no special abilities, or any power. Why did this happen? From that day on, her father grew cold towards her, and started to .
~*~ End of Flashback~*~
She was suddenly awakened from her thoughts as she felt someone put their hand over her mouth.
The Battousai entered the hotel and went to front desk. He first needed to get into a room by the girl.
"I request a room next to Kanryu's fiancé. I am his friend and he asked me to take care of her until the wedding reception."
"You're very fortunate, there is one room on the right of her room that is available. Here are they keys to room 18. I hope you enjoy your stay."
Battousai left the front counter and strode to the stairs. They would be quicker than the elevator to him.
He came to the room and opened it with the key. He walked over the balcony and turned to see the balcony of Kanryu's fiancé. He jumped from his balcony to hers and looked into the window. There was a girl in a wedding dress with her hair, face, and most of her dress dripping wet. The girl had raven hair. That had to be her. She just sat there looking into space as if she were thinking about something unpleasant. He silently opened the screen door and made his way to the girl. He put his hand over her mouth and felt her body tense up.
"If you want to live, you will remain quiet and go along with whatever I say."
Kaoru tensed up and thought about it for a moment. If she married Kanryu, her father would be alive, she would be alive, and whatever Kanryu's plan was, it would succeed. If she went along with the man who was covering her mouth, her father would still have to be alive for her to come back to him, she would be alive, and his plan would not succeed. She decided to go along with the man. After all, she was just wishing someone would take her away.
Battousai felt the girl relax under his grip and slowly nod her head. He was surprised. Why hadn't she started crying and begging for mercy like all of his other victims? He had no time to wonder. He took out a blindfold and covered her eyes, so she would not know the way to get back if she tried to escape. He led her to the balcony and secured a rope and harness to himself. She placed the girl over his shoulder and slid down the rope. As they slid down the rope, he noticed she smelled of jasmine. Where did that thought come from? Afterwards he unfastened himself and led the girl to his car, and drove back to his apartment.
As they reached their apartment, he opened the door and led the girl in. She was strangely quiet and relaxed throughout the whole process. Like as if she wanted to be kidnapped. He took the blindfold off her and she opened her eyes.
A stunning blue, where had he seen a pair of eyes like hers?
~*~Flashback~*~
"Thank you for dinner Kaoru-dono"
"You're very welcome"
"We'll be going now, you should go back in now, and the night is getting chilly."
"Thanks for your concern, please come again soon"
The man and woman step back into the dojo.
"I'll got wash up for the night koishi"
"I'll go prepare the futon.
With that said, they parted and the red-haired man followed the woman. She was humming a song and looked quite cheerful. Not that it mattered to him at all. She was still going to die tonight.
As she stepped into the bedroom, she wasn't aware of a presence watching her every move. She closed the door and went over to a cabinet, taking out the futon, just as she set it down, she spied a pair of gleaming amber eyes.
As she turned around, he was awed by her stunning blue eyes for a minute, but recovered.
"I have come for your life Kamiya Kaoru"
She was about to scream, but was stopped by the blade slashing her throat. She lay limp on the floor, dead.
~*~ End of Flashback~*~
This wasn't right. He had killed her. He had remembered those eyes; they were filled with life and happiness. This girl sitting in front of him had those same eyes, yet they were full of sorrow and pain. Besides the eyes and the wardrobe, they looked alike. Who was she?
"What is your name?"
She looked hesitant.
"What is your name" I don't like repeating myself."
She slowly opened her mouth and looked up at him.
"Kamiya Kaoru"
Battousai stared at her. How can this be? He killed her ten years ago, but there she is, staring back at him. He has never made any mistakes in his career. How is she still alive?
Thanks for reading!
