Chapter 5


The villagers, the group of women, and even the young girl were shocked by what he had just said. The young girl slowly started to look at him and notice a complete change in demeanor.

" I aloud you to live," said Karasu angrily," I spare your pitiful looking VILLAGE!"

Karasu started slowly walking towards them and drawing out his katana. The villagers start getting even more scared and frightened and started pressing their knives and daggers against the group of women's throats more harder to the point that a red line would appear where the knives and daggers were at.

" So, you even hurt the people I SAVED!!!"

Karasu started to quicken his pace, which made the villagers quiver in fear and drop their knives and daggers. Letting the group of women free, but Karasu still continue walking towards them. Tightening his grip on the handle of his katana blade.

" STOP KARASU!!!" cried the young girl," you got them to free them."

" SILENCE!!!" yelled Karasu.

The young girl was in shock and shook her head as one of the women grabbed her and pulled her away towards the other women. While the villagers started to prepare for their soon to be battle.

" It is pointless," said Karasu evilly," you will only die just like the pitiful samurai did."

" You can't take all of us," said a man.

Karasu became enraged and started squeezing his katana's handle even more tighter. Making his veins in his right hand and arm visible. The group of women tremble in fear by his very presence. Even the young girl grew frighten of the devilish sight of Karasu.

" YOU WOULD DOUBT ME!!!!" yelled Karasu sadistically," THEN I'LL SEND YOU TO A PLACE NOT EVEN THE DEVIL WOULD DARE GO!!!!"

Karasu started running towards them, lifting his katana up high. The villagers started to panic and strung at everything and anything. Karasu ducked and dodged every knife stab and every dagger slashed. A man ran at him and tried to stab him, but Karasu dodged the stab attempt and knee him in the gut and did a ninety degree turn in mid-move and with a mighty slash with his katana, took his head completely off. Suddenly, another man tried to punch him, but Karasu was too quick for him and dodged to the right and tripped him, but before the man could even taste the ground, he did another ninety degree turn and cut off his head as well.

" He...he's unbeatable," said a old man," run for your lives."

The remaining villagers ran for their lives into the dark forest. Leaving the girl, the group of women, and Karasu alone.

" RUN!!!" said Karasu sadistically," BUT I WILL FIND YOU!!!"

Karasu started to run after them, but out of nowhere the young girl ran in front of him and lifted up both of her arms. Karasu seemed to be confused as the group of women ran to her with sadden and angered faces.

" Stop this Karasu," cried the young girl," this isn't you."

The young girl tried to reach him, when one of the women got in front of her and then another and another and another til all the women were in front of her.

" You were the one," said a woman angrily," WEREN'T YOU!??!"

Karasu started to laugh uncontrollably and started to put away his katana. When one of the women went up and slapped him across the face. Which enraged Karasu.

" ANSWER ME!!!"

The girl ran between them and told the woman to leave Karasu alone. Shocking both him and the women.

" I...I know he didn't do it," said the girl sadly," he has a good heart and he was trying to help us."

Karasu is speechless by her comment and suddenly, a single tear falls from his eye and his calm demeanor once again appears.

~FLASHBACK~

" Leave my brother alone."

A girl stood in front of a mob of people. Not letting any of them near a boy with blackish hair. Suddenly, a man and a women slowly walk towards them and the girl smiles. While the boy looks in disbelief.

" Thank you, Aris."

" You would of done the same...big brother."

~FLASHBACK ENDS~

Karasu smiles and starts slowly backing away as the young girl turns to see what he is doing.

" Just like my sister," said Karasu," thank you..."

Karasu vanish again, but this time he wasn't coming back. The young girl smiled and looked up into the night sky and tears of happiness and yet, sorrow came down.

" Your welcome," said the girl happily," and my name is Takae."
