Chapter 3
Kaoru and Battousai exchanged glances, both knowing at that moment who one another were.
Battousai smirked, he had her right where he wanted her. But even so, he couldn't believe that the legendary mercenary was a little girl...correction a woman. But something was different about her, he couldn't figure it out.
Giving Kaoru a mysterious 'follow me' glance he stalked away into the crowd from sight. 'this would be interesting'
Kaoru blinked rapidly, did she forget to breathe? Shaking her head she couldn't let silly emotions to control her now. As soon as battousai disappeared she would, of course, follow him.
Kaoru could feel his fading ki, it was all too strange for her. She knew this was a trap but still drew towards him.
His ki led her into an abandoned area of the city. Glancing around she stood her ground and prepared herself for anything. 'so he wanted to play games huh?'
(A/N: I am NOT good at writing battle scenes so bear with me)
With her senses flaring, the world was an open door. The sound of a twig snapping caught her ears and alerted a presence behind her. All in one fast movement she drew her katana and attacked.
But this was not it, it was not him. Cursing she stood back up and readied herself. The wooden decoy clattered to the floor, splitting in half in many ways.
"Enough! Show yourself you coward!" she yelled, eyes narrowing.
Just then she heard a slight sound of sandals against the ground, any ordinary man would not be able to hear such an inaudible noise. "It looks like the great mercenary is a little girl, such a shame." Battousai's cool voice rang out.
Kaoru spun around to meet darkness. As the clouds passed over giving some light from the sun there, his figure emerged. Glowing amber eyes froze her. His eyes reminded her of that of a cat, not just an ordinary cat but a fierce tiger ready to kill its prey.
Then just as he emerged he disappeared, right before her very eyes. Nervously glancing around she searched for him. Wind blew around her and leaves flew up in all directions. Her eyes widening, there, in front of her was him again. "But...how?" she was shocked. There in front of her HE was holding her blade spear. How could she let that happen? How did that even happen?
"Give that back" she seethed through clenched teeth. He was really getting on her nerves now. But battousai was inspecting the weapon and paid no attention to her words.
"Fine you want to be stupid then be stupid but that wont save you." drawing her katana she got into a stance. "Enough games, this ends here!" she glared daggers at him, her voice cold and emotionless.
Battousai almost winced at her, a girl like her should not have become this. It made him wonder if something happened to her in the past. Shaking his head he let the weapon fall from his hands. "So will this end everything? Will it make you feel better that you tried to kill me but in the end you were the one killed?" his hot amber gaze told Kaoru her place.
Kaoru lunged at him, but he side stepped and hit her in the small of her back with the hilt of his sword. Wincing, Kaoru skillfully got back in control, spun on her heel and hit battousai in the side drawing a gasp from him. Lunging back she got into another stance.
Battousai was impressed, she was very skilled. "But skill alone wont save you" he had enough of her. "No more playing this ends now." his cold voice almost made Kaoru shudder.
Blinking, he disappeared from sight again. But this time she could not feel his ki or anything that symbolized that he was here. Her eyes darted around the area. 'I wont let this happen again' but she still couldn't find him.
"Dou Ryu Sen!" Kaoru, shocked shot her eyes to the sky. And there he was, she knew it had been too late she could not escape this time. Realization hit her, here she was looking at her own death.
Amber met blue. As he gazed at her something was different about her. She seemed like a lost child. Her eyes widened and glazed over. Something struck him faltering his attack.
Kaoru was in shock. "no not now....." she whispered. Pain seared through her side as blood went everywhere around her. Silent tears streamed down her face, her lost gaze glanced up at Battousai.
Battousai was at a loss. 'What just happened? Such sorrow and loneliness in this girl' the dull end of his sword came down upon her shoulder, some blood spewed onto her face as she fell unconscious into Battousai's arms.
He was speechless, gazing down at Kaoru he never knew such things could exist in one person. Picking her up he stalked down the streets of Kyoto. This would be very interesting...
