Creature of darkness

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: don't own it and that's all I will say.

Creeping silently he ran like a shadow over to the camp. Hmm it looks like three trained guards, one odd person, and his daughter- Kaoru. 'Hmm pretty name but a slight adjustment on the attitude.' He grinned while thinking that. 'No. I wont think anything of the kind.'

'Now the one odd person seem to be a mathematician. Or in others words a person to keep tabs on the money. 'Well that's not to hard,' he thought. 'An easy kill.'

Suddenly he heard a voice, it was a woman's/girls voice (sorry people I could not decide if she should be a girl or young woman? Help me here!)

"Father, I am going to go to the springs. It's no use trying to stop me," she said. He saw a shadow raise a hand in a gesture of defeat and willingness. "Why would I want to deprive you of that? Go on." Himura Battosia then saw the shadow raise a hand to Kaoru's face in a gesture of fondness. He briefly touched her face then said, "It's to the left of the oak tree."

'Good now the woman is gone and I can get down to business.' Battosia thought. 'I'll deal with her later.'

With the end of that thought, he crept into the campsite. He spotted Jota and steeped out of the shadows.

"Jota Kamiya, I am here to take your life-" Battosia stated.

Suddenly the two guards surrounded Battosia. "Nope, sorry we cant let you do that. Instead you will be the one to die today." One guard said.

The other got into a fighting stance but before they even had a chance to say another word, a sword slashed and both their heads went rolling.

"-And all those in your company here." Battosia finished. "Just here right?" asked Jota. "If so make it quick please." "Yes, just here." Replied Battosia not quite understanding what his question was about. And took Jota's request and finished him quickly.

Now the mathematician was the same. He put up no restraints and asked it to be quick. 'Pity, it was not much of a fight. I wonder how much fight the girl will put up?' he thought (yes she is going to be a girl now I decided! Young lady comes later.)

With that, he jumped from tree to tree trying to find the spring the father spoke of.

With ease he found it, and he sensed a strong spirit there.
