Chapter 2
I'll never forget that fragrance
"Attack me! That wench, Tomoe probably wasn't afraid of anything!" The voice shouted.
"What did you say?!" Kenshin Leaped into the air. "I'll never forgive you for that! Nobu!"
"Ahh, so you figured out who I am."
"Indeed I did, and I'll make your life a living hell from this point forward, if I don't kill you that is. You used Tomoe; you thought that if I were to open up I'd give up being a slasher!"
"You killed her. She wasn't of that much use to me as I hoped!"
"You threatened to kill her if she didn't try to stop me from being what I am!"
"You see, Tomoe came to me, she said that she had found feelings for you, and asked to be set free."
"You sent those two men to kill me-"
"And you ended up killing Tomoe!"
Kenshin was silenced from those words. Kenshin looked up at Nobu and gave him one glaring look and attacked him.
"Ohh! So you have some moves of your own!" Nodu smirked.
"You're dirty! You're afraid to sully your hands!" Kenshin shouted.
Kenshin then thrust his sword into Nobu stomach, and twisted his sword.
"Have you now realized what you have done?" Kenshin whispered.
"Not quite yet!" Nobu then smirked. Kenshin started coughing up blood.
"Poison?!" Kenshin said in a shocked manner.
"Ha ha ha ha ha! My body is different then yours! It's immune to such blows!" Nobu spoke.
Kenshin then passed out and fell to the snow covered ground. Kenshin thought why his attack didn't hurt Nobu. 'I attacked him, Why wasn't he even in pain?' Kenshin tried to get up but couldn't because of the poison. 'My whole body, it's numb, I can hardly move. Wait! I can't feel my body; if he can't feel the pain of my attack does that mean he was poisoned as well? Nobu said that he was immune to blows... maybe, he's immune to the poison but can still move without feeling pain.' Kenshin slowly opened his eyes to see that Nobu was looking at his straight on. "Why did you finish me off?" Kenshin mumbled.
"Why? Why?! It wouldn't be as much fun to just kill you, but instead make you suffer a little longer." Nobu replied.
Kenshin shook off the poison and stood up. He gave a death glare to Nobu and charged at him. "Kenjustsu! I've been waiting for a little action!" Nobu exclaimed. Nobu then us-sheathed his sword and locked it with Kenshin's.
"I see what you have been hiding all along! You're immune to the poison!" Kenshin yelled.
"You're quite correct; My heart stops beating, I stop breathing, my organs do not serve any vital purpose anymore!" Nobu explained.
"How do you even live?!" Kenshin questioned.
"I really don't know, I guess you can say I'm one out of a million!" Nobu bragged. "No one can, or will kill me!" Kenshin then saw the pouch that held the poison in it. 'If I can just get it, but how?' Kenshin then looked at the trees he saw that the water hade formed icicles. Kenshin allowed himself to be pushed into the tree, and from the impact, the icicles fell, gaining speed as they fell.
"Don't look up!" Kenshin joked.
Nobu looked up to see the falling icicles. Kenshin then darted towards Nobu and cut the pouch off and grabbed it.
"So what? You just have the poison pouch?" Nobu exclaimed.
"Yes, but, what happens when you take an overdose of this stuff? Do you care to find out?" Kenshin then charged toward Nobu and grabbed his face and shoved the poison into Nobu's mouth.
"Swallow..." Kenshin menacingly said. Nobu stepped back and said "I'm immune to this if you forgot-
"Suddenly Nobu started to drool and then he fell to the floor.
"Pitiful, even you have your limits!" Kenshin stood there expressionless, staring at Nobu. Nobu's face started to rot, Nobu jumped into the small pond; a few minutes later the water in the lake turned a deep shade of red.
"So he exploded?" Kenshin stood there in astonishment. Then the fragrance of the White Cherry blossoms disappeared. Kenshin sat down by the blood red pond and grabbed the scarf of Tomoe and tied it around his sword. "I'll never forget that fragrance."
