Recently on Chiem soul...
The leader smirked at his work thinking that the person would drop dead any minute now. 'Right any minute...' he thought.
Then suddenly there was another gasp, but this one was of true horror. Everyone's attention was taken from the leader to the mystery person. It seems that the mistery is only but now unraveling...
Chiem Soul
chapter 2
The tension in the air was so thick it could slice through butter. Everyone just stood in their positions, not believeing what they were seeing.
There was blood everywhere. Pouring from the back of the mysterious person. What was once there, was now not. The clothes surrounding them fell in a scatter, as they finally turned around to unvail themselves. Yet no one could fully see what was there.
It was a person, that was for sure. But they kept their head down so not to show their face.
It was obvious that the person was female, yet you couldn't be able to tell anything else. Her body was covered sickeningly in blood. From head to toe, she was covered in it. There was not one color other that red to be seen. And it didn't help that she had deep gashes on her back, only covering her more. Her clothes, or what was left of them, were barely clinging to her. She seemed to be wearing rags.
She only had a tight cloth around her upper torso, with ripped sleves on the sides. She also wore what looked like a very, very short pair of worn out shorts. Her hair was long and very uneven, as if someone just decided to randomly hack at it. It reached down to her thighs in a knotted heep of dry blood. Her body was very lean and skinny, yet looked almost as if she was emaciated.
As everyone stared in utter shock, she kept her head down. Not daring to lift it and show the people of this world what power she held. But one thought stayed with her as they saw what she tried so hard to hide. 'Please, don't make me have to get ride of you...'
******************
The calming air gave no help to the croud surrounding the one man fight. No one knew what was going on. It was like some kind of nightmare coming true. No one on earth would have been able to survive that attack. Maybe for a little while, but with all that blood she was losing they would have dropped dead withing minutes, litterally. Yet she was just standing there as if nothing happened, that is if you didn't mention she was hunched over to cover her face.
A million things went through the publics minds. Most wanted to run and scream, yet they just stood there looking in amazement at what just happened. Then someone suddenly decided to state the question that was going through everyones heads.
"What the HELL?!" the leader of the Omikami yelled.
Kenshin and the group were dumbfounded. 'What is this person?' Kenshin thought. 'I feel so much suppressed power coming from her.'
There was silence once again.
"Was that suppost to hurt?" the girl stated calmly.
"Because if it was, you're gonna have to do better than that. I've gone through alot worse than that."
The leader snorted, "So this is what you're hiding...I can understand why now." He then laughed as his group joined in and the croud began wispering.
Now facing the leader the girl slowly looked up, fully revealing herself and a hidden sword she held.
With a growl she said, "Don't give me a reason to kill you."
With one look at her face the group gasp and took a step back in fear. Her face was also stained with blood, yet a person would be able to tell that it was finely figured. Strong and stubborn, opposed to her eyes. Her eyes were an unusual color of turquoise, with a hint of indigo surfaceing. They were delicate and would be more beautiful if they weren't sharpend in a look of bloodlust.
Suddenly Kenshin came out in front of the girl.
"You both should stop all this. There is no reason to fight. You found out what you wanted, now let the girl go," Kenshin stated.
With pride still hurt, the leader snarled back, "This is none of your business. Now get out of the way!"
The leader then charged, his sword ready to slice into more flesh, and Kenshin ready in a defensive stance.
"No!" the girl yelled as she pushed him out of the way and grabbed the leaders sword as it came down tward her shoulder and neck.
"That's not possible," the leader said in shock, "your hand should at least be off of your limb..." And against all odds her hand wasn't. Her grip was firm and strong as she held the sword as more blood dripped from her palm down her arm.
"This has gone on long enough," the girl said tiredly. "All you're good for is causing trouble and I don't think anyone will miss you either. So listen here...I'll give you two choices. One, I could kill you right here, right now. That could either be long and painful or short and sweet. Two, you could leave here and repent for all the things you've done. No appoligy needed. Make your choice."
And with that everyone around started mumbling to themselves and their own oppinions.
"I'll give you five minutes to think it over."
With that the leader just stood there not knowing what to do.
"That was very interesting," Sanosuke said more to himself than to anyone else.
"Yea. I was wondering what took Kenshin so long," Yahiko said stating his opinion.
"Well you know that Kenshin doesn't like to get into other peoples problems unless he has to," Kaoru stated frankly. "But that was also wierd that that girl wouldn't let him help."
"Yea I know what you mean," Yahiko finished.
'There's something wierd about that girl' Sanosuke thought.
*********************
"I'm really sorry about that," the girl said to Kenshin. "I just don't want other people getting hurt. Even though I can tell you have more than enough capabilities to defend both yourself and me, I fell like you shouldn't get into this."
*********************
"I don't care what she is, she isn't gonna get away with that," the leader hissed. "On the count of three we all get that little wretch!" he sneared out to his comrades.
"Ready?" Everyone nodded. Nervous and with their blood pumping they charged the girl in cries promising blood shed.
"Look out!" Kenshin yelled blocking a blow to the girls back.
'Damn!' the girl thought jumping up into the air to avoid a hit.
"That's it!" she cried out in rage, coming down and knocking out two men. 'Two down, eleven more to go.'
She twisted and turned avoiding the slicing swords and daggers, while throwing kicks and punches into their vital areas.
While knocking out half the group by evading blows, Kenshin was taking care of the other half with an ungodly speed.
Stopping and looking at the fallen group he asked, "Isn't it unhonerable to attack your opponent when their back is turned?" Then Kenshin turned around to find all but the leader unconscious.
"You see, because of your stubborness you've caused your group to fall and have humiliated yourself," the girl said stepping infront of the leader. "You know nothing of war. You appear to have that knowledge, but underneith all the exterior, you know nothing."
"I know that you are a freak and anything but human," he spat. "Go back to the hole you crawled out of you little bitch!" He then spit in her face.
Unflinching she ripped of some of her cloth and wiped her face.
The audience around them was quiet and watched in anticipation of what would happen next.
"That maybe so, but who are you to judge me?!" her anger rose with every word said. "You know nothing of who and what I am, or what I'm capable of, so I suggest you SHUT UP!" she yelled. "I will not take any more of you crap."
And within a blink of an eye the leader was unconscious on the dirt road.
All were silent as they took in what had just happened. The girl stood in place, with her bangs covering her eyes and body unmoving. Hand clenching the forgotten sword with white nuckles.
"What's going on here?" The police finally came to see what was once a fight. As the police talked to the croud, they took the group to be held in confinement, until further notice.
"Are you alright Kenshin?" Kaoru asked as the group surrounded him.
"I'm fine, but I think that girl needs help."
"Yea with those wounds it's a wonder she isn't dead yet," Yahiko said.
"Yea. Do you think you can go get Megumi for me Sano?"
"Fine, I'll be right back," he said while running off.
The girl began walking away as the croud minimized and the policemen grew.
Just as Kenshin was about to call out to her, a policeman beat him to it, but with different intentions.
"Hey girl! Don't you know it's against the law to carry a sword?" the policeman asked haughtily, while walking up to her. She said nothing as she turned.
"Give me that," he said snatching up the sword. "You're coming with me."
"It's not a sword," she stated calmly.
"What?"
"I said, it's not a sword. It's only a helt and scabbard; and heirloom of my families. I'm poor and traviling, so I have to carry it how it is."
"I don't believe you," he said as he pulled on the hilt only to find...exactily what she said was there. He pulled it out stupidly and looked inside the scabbard. Putting it back together, he gave back the sword and stomped off as the girl smirked, watching him.
She shook her head as she continued walking. 'I'm glad that's over with.'
"Umm...excuse me."
"Hmmm?" She looked up to find Kenshin and the group infront of her.
"We were wondering if you would like a place to stay?" asked Kenshin.
"What?! Kenshin, not again! Why do you always invite people to my house. Well it's your room you're giving up. There are no other extra rooms," Kaoru said with a sigh.
"No, that's okay. I've got to be going any way," she answered, and began walking again when she heard someone yell out from behind her.
"Don't you know it's rude to put down an offer from Sir Ken?" Megumi asked while making a mental list of medicines needed for the girls wounds.
"Megumi. Sano. You made it just in time," Kenshin said as he began to lightly direct the girl twards the Kamiya Dojo.
"But I..."
"Nonsence. You take an offer when it's given."
"But..."
"Ooooh, I wonder what's for dinner."
"God! You only think with your stomach don't you rooster?"
"Cut it, fox."
'Never thought I'd be happy to see those two fight,' Kenshin thought.
"I hope Ugly isn't cooking."
"What was that Yahiko?"
The girl sighed in defeat and asked Kenshin, "Are they always like this?"
He laughed lightly and smiled. "Most of the time."
She smiled back. He then stopped, causing everyone else to do the same. "Oh where are my mannors? My name's Kenshin. That's Kaoru, Yahiko, Sanosuke, and Megumi. And you are...?"
She hesitated a little, then said, "My name...is Chiem." Then continued walking.
And with that, the group made their way through the streets of Tokyo, with thoughts of the events that happened that day, and of what was to come.
End.
