A.N.: I am so sorry that I have not updated in so long! But here is chapter two!!
Chapter 2: The Job
We snuck into the house, killing as we went. Our swords sang with joy at each kill. We sensed our "prey" was in the west wing of the house, the dinning room to be exact. He was with many other people, most likely his bodyguards. As we got closer we were able to tell that it was around nine other people in the room with Oriso Hiromi.
"Do you want to go in first or shall I?" I asked
"We can go in together." And with that we kicked the door open.
"Oriso Hiromi," we said in unison, "we have come for your life. Do you give it up willingly or must we take it by force?" We stood, our hands on our swords, already knowing the answer.
"What do you think?! Boys!" said Hiromi. The nine other men rushed at us.
"Black Misery…."
"Hai?"
"Would you mind if I took care of Oriso and you took care of the other guys?"
"No of course not. He's all yours Moonlight's Sorrow. Have fun" With that Usagi jumped over the gunmen and ran to fight Oriso, out of my line of vision.
I started to casually walk to the approaching men and I noticed that they faltered in their strides. They must have seen their impending deaths in my eyes. Still they came at me, guns drawn. They started to shot at me and I dodged/deflected the bullets. I ran swiftly up to the first man and cut him across the chest, the next three fell the same way. The next three stood their ground and continued to shoot at me. I sighed at their stupidity. My sword rose in a crescent and heads were sent rolling. The other two started to run and I followed at a slower pace. I soon started to run and they didn't have a prayer. With two swipes of my sword, they fell to the ground, never to rise again.
~* Meanwhile, a recap of what Usagi was doing *~
Oriso stood up to face Usagi, pulling out a concealed sword. They faced off, circling each other. Suddenly, Usagi seemed to disappear and then reappeared behind Oriso. She held her sword to his neck and whispered "Oriso, do you remember me? The pain I once felt because of you?"
"So then this, Mysterious Lady of Death, is your revenge? I hurt many girls when I was younger. Before you kill me, tell me which one will get to have the ultimate revenge.
"Revenge has nothing to do with it. This is my job and as for the name, it's Moonlight's Sorrow. But as for the name that would be more useful to you, I would rather tell it to your face…." Usagi then got distracted by a flash of light from Kaoru's sword. Oriso took the moments distraction and moved to strike Usagi in the leg. She noticed this and moved in front of Oriso. She leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Do you remember a girl named Kamiya Usagi? That is me and you could say you started a long process and helped me to become what I am today. For that, I can never forgive you." Oriso's eyes widened as she said this and then he looked into her eyes. What he saw was nothing; no rage, anger, joy at his impending death and this frightened him further. Next thing he knew there was a flash of pain in his abdomen and a sword imbedded in his stomach. Usagi removed her sword and the she moved her sword in a half-moon shape to rid her sword of the blood.
Usagi dropped him to the ground and slit his neck. She looked over at Kaoru, blood dripping from her sword, in time to see the last man fall. She then started to say something…
~* Back to Kaoru and her POV *~
I turned around in time to hear Usagi say "Misery, it's time we meet Katsura and his mystery guests."
"Hai."
********************************************************************************************
WE arrived at the meeting point with little trouble. Instead of seeing Katsura, under a lighted lamp post there was a white envelope with two roses; one white, one black. We walked over to the envelope and each picked up one of the roses; I the white one, and Usagi the black one. With a flick of my wrist the envelope opened. I took out the letter and read it aloud.
Dear Girls,
I know I said that I would meet you here with some
people I wanted you to meet. Well, it seems that two of
the eight people I wanted you to meet have been delay-
ed. When they arrive I will notify you, via cell phone,
when and where the meeting will take place. Till then
you will have no assignments, so relax and have fun.
Katsura
p.s. When you do meet these people, I expect you to
act with courtesy and respect. Many of them are older than
you and have been killing much, much longer than you have,
many for over a decade. I expect you to be on your best
behavior.
"When have we not behaved!!? I think we should be hurt!" I said
"Kaoru, the time you blew up the bases kitchen, after Katsura told you not to set foot in the kitchen, comes to mind… that would be misbehaving."
"Hey! How was I to know that oil combusts when left on heat to long!" As I was saying this Usagi just looked at me and I finally shut up.
"Are you done and can we go home now?"
"Yeah, I call the shower first."
"Right….. Not if I get there first."
A.N. Hey everyone! I am really sorry about the delay. I am such a bad writer *sigh*. Well I hope you like this chapter and please review! You know you want to!
Reviewers Corner:
LittoGrrlStephie: Here's my update! Sorry I had to keep you in suspense a little longer….
Cherry Chibi: Thank you for your advice. I will try to keep it in mind for later chapters. Also, thank you for saying that you thought my first RK story was good. That meant a lot coming from you!!
ToHeLlWiThThEnIcKs: *helps you off the floor* What kind of story would it be with out Battousi??!! Kenshin would be way too weak to handle Kaoru as she is now. Oops!!! I have said too much *smacks self*. Thank you for your complements *blushes*. I didn't think people would like my story to much!
