Chapter 13
Assassin
It was night now and almost dawn. Kaiya looked over at the emperor slumping over in his chair. His head nodding with sleep. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "If I am going to do this I better do it now." She told herself.
She didn't know why Lord Toshi wanted her to kill the emperor. She just knew that if she didn't he would kill Kenshin. Sensing that all was quiet and the time was right she withdrew her dagger from wince her sleeve. Walking up calmly beside the dozing figure she looked around and then quickly thrust her dagger down upon the man's throat.
But the steel did not reach its destination. A sword blocked her hand. It's blade, on the back of the sword, cutting into her flesh. In the dark her eyes flashed up at the figure that had stopped her, but the moonlight revealed none of his features. She quickly withdrew herself. Clutching at her hand she bounded out of the car and leapt upon the top of it. But the figure followed.
She ran, leaping from car to car, but still the man followed, mimicking her every move. She was so intent on watching the shadowy figure that she did not see another the other man pop up in front of her. All of a sudden she ran into him, his strong arms clasping around her, not letting her go.
She struggled hard, fear pounding through her. She was caught, now what?
The man that was holding her called down to some waiting policemen. "We got her!" He yelled.
Kaiya all of a sudden stopped. Though she could not see the man's face that voice sounded hauntingly familiar. The swordsman came closer to her.
"Why were you attempting to kill the emperor?" He asked, his voice as cold as the night itself. "Who are you working for?"
She couldn't believe it. He too, sounded like someone she once knew. She brought her feet down hard upon the foot of her captor. He let out a howl. Grasping his foot he let go of her. She stumbled away from him, trying to run past him.
Suddenly, she found herself surrounded by the police. They dog piled on her, holding her down with everything they had. She tried to reach for her sword, but it was no use. There were too many and they were too strong. She found it hard to breathe under the weight of so many men.
Her heart raced as she felt a rope snake its way around her wrists and ankles. It was then that she felt trapped and it overwhelmed her. She began to sob, not knowing what she was doing there or why. All of a sudden nothing meant anything to her except escaping. She had done nothing wrong. It was all Lord Toshi's fault. Surely they didn't think she did this of her own free will.
In the scramble that had taken place her hat had tumbled from her head and as the first light of dawn came over the land she knew that her face would be revealed.
Mustering all the strength in her body, Kaiya launched herself from the pile of police, tumbling into the feet of the swordsman.
He looked down at her, his eyes, cold with a piercing stare. Kaiya twisted herself around, coming into eye contact with man. His eyes suddenly changed from a yellow-orange to a misty violet of confusion. She could not believe it.
"Kenshin?" She called out as many hands reached to drag her away.
Kenshin stood, petrified, unsure of what he was seeing. After a few seconds he spoke to the policemen. "Wait!" He commanded. "I know this person."
They forced Kaiya to sit down as Kenshin strode up to her. Her heart was filled with shame and she could not force herself to look up so he squatted down in front of her.
"Kaiya?" His eyes were filled with sadness and happiness at the same time. He ran his hand down his lost sister's cheek, his fingers stopping at the rough scar that broke the gentle skin. He tilted her chin up to his face. "What has happened to you?" He questioned her, as she began to shake, turning her head away from him. "Who made you do this?" His deep violet eyes were deep with concern.
She looked up him, her eyes clouded with tears. Then she whispered to him. "If only I could tell you." With those words she quickly rolled herself off of the train car.
"Kaiya!" Kenshin called, running to jump after her. "Kenshin don't!" Sano screamed in his ear, grabbing his friend about his waist as his feet dangled over the edge of the train. Kenshin twisted with agony as all he could do was watch his sister tumble into the lake beside the tracks. He longed to chase after her. To save her. To tell her that everything was going to be all right, but for now all he could do was watch her go and call her name, hoping that they would meet again, not as enemies, but as siblings.
a/n: sad huh? This chapter isn't as quite avid in description as I wanted it too be, but it turned out to be harder to write than I thought. All I can tell you is make sure to stick around to read the next chapter, sry though, no sneek peaks ^_^ plz review!
