A/N: Hmm, A few people liked my last one ^_^ goody. Time to write another I suppose

Oh, when it said in chapter 1 that he killed all who stood in his way, it means he killed all the people who he faced, but there are still more people out there (thanks to Kagaya Chou for pointing this out)

*** Chapter 2 - Life *** *-*-*

"Kilik. . . I. . . don't know what to say!". The girl was obviously stunned. She was sitting on a log , which had fallen some time ago because the bark was easy to break, in the middle of the moonlit forest, with all the stars beaming down their heavenly glory upon them. "Just say you wont go. . . please, for me" spoke the man with a look of agony upon his face. He glared into the woman's eyes, her deep hazel eyes and found himself lost in their beauty.

"Kilik. . . its not that easy, you should know that" she sighed. "Its not about you, its just I have to do this, I have to reclaim soul caliber and destroy soul edge before another person gets hurt."

"Xianghua, I don't want you to get hurt, please stay and leave it to me!" he begged.

"And why have you suddenly become so interested in my life?! Not once have you ever stuck by me when I've been in trouble, but I've been there for you throughout everything, EVERYTHING. Why should I stay for you to go and claim all the glory?!"

"Its not about that!"

"Well what is it about!"

"I. . . love you. Xianghua, I love you". Xianghua was taken back by this. She had expected some long-winded explanation, but not this. This made it a lot worse.

"Kilik. . ." a single tear began to roll down her soft cheek, gently flowing to her chin and falling to the ground. "I have to do this Kilik. . . I'm sorry" and with that she stood up and began to walk off.

The man stood there, distraught and heart-broken. She was gone for good, and there was no way of getting her back. . .

*-*-*

Kilik shot up suddenly in his bed. He had realised that what he had just been dreaming was in fact the last time he would see Xianghua before he would have to kill her. But that was all in the past, and he now had to look towards the future.

The room he awoke in was dark and dingy. Its walls we're coated with what can only be described as "smoker-cream" and stains of all manner of sorts lay across the walls. The floor was bare with dark brown floorboards, which creaked with every step. The furniture was old, and ridden with woodworm. The bed was a single and stood alone in the squalid place. His weapon was nowhere to be seen.

He dragged himself out of the bed and looked around this alien space. It was at this time when he realised he was naked. He looked around and found that which he sought after, his clothes. They had been cleaned, but the question on Kilik's mind was, by whom?

After he had finished getting dressed, he walked over to the door. As he reached out to turn the knob he heard voices on the other side of the door.

"So he really did it?". This voice was unfamiliar to him. It was deep, but angry.

"Yup. He's resting at the moment, so I wouldn't disturb him". This voice too was unknown to him, but it was defiantly a female's voice. Gentile but cruel at the same time.

"Damn him. The soul edge was to be mine! But, from what I've heard, I suppose it's best if it was destroyed. What was his name again?".

"We don't know, when we found him he was unconscious".

It was at this time when Kilik decided it was time for him to make his presence known. Just as he reached the doorknob, he heard a familiar name being spoken.

"Is it also true what he did to that girl, what's her name. . . Xianghua?". It was at this time when Kilik closed his eyes and remembered how he had cruelly taken away her life.

"Yeah. By the time we found her body, she had already been dead for quite some time. It's a miracle he still lives. But remember, he did it for the good of human kind".

"The good of human kind" Kilik muttered under his breath. "There is no more good in human kind". He turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, and saw the faces of the two people who had been talking about him. The man was of a medium height, with black hair, which seemed to go to one side. He was wearing a white suit, very much like a captains uniform. Over his back was a pair of nunchucka.

The woman was short, with long brown hair in a plait. She was wearing a red top which barely covered everything and a piece of material on a string covering the lower part of her body. She was holding a halberd of sorts, with a large wooden pole.

"Ah, our hero awakens!" cried the girl gleefully.

"Pardon? I'm no hero".

"But you destroyed the soul edge! You've saved us all!" said the man happily.

"The only thing I've done is cause more pain that its worth". He looked at the floor, angry with himself.

"Hey, so what if you killed a few people, you saved millions more! You should be proud!"

"PROUD?! HOW CAN I BE PROUD?! Xianghua, my Xianghua, is gone for good and its all because of me trying to destroy the evil seed! But just because the seed's gone, it doesn't mean that evil went with it too! As long as there are men, there will be evil, it is the way we live, the way we shape our lives, which does it" he blared in the mans face. His eyes we're fierce and looked ready to strike, his body angry, his fists clenched and teeth gritted.

"Hey, calm down. Its like they say, there's plenty more fish in the se-"

"SHUT UP. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT LOVE OR LIFE".

Then he realised. He was turning into what he had wanted to be destroyed more than ever. The evil within him was arising to the surface, he could feel it trying to break free from under his skin. He fell to his hands and knee's and began muttering her name under his breath.

"Xianghua. . . I'm sorry"
