Chapter Fifteen
`~`~`~`~FLASH BACK~`~`~`~`
Baby blue eyes danced with laughter, and the girl, age twenty, ran her hand through her incredibly bright pink hair. She laughed. "Oh this is wonderful!!!" Utena was in a dark room, like a mad scientist area. "So you work as a mechanic but you used to be a sword master?" she asked.
A man with dark green hair simply nodded, actually being calm and mature for once. "That's right, I used to be a sword master."
Utena smiled wickedly. "So, what as your name again?"
The man looked at her, "Hiko Seijiro."
Utena giggled. "Oh, I see. . .Uh, care for a drink?" she offered him some sake.
Of course, knowing Hiko, he could never refuse an offer of sake. He smiled, "Thank you. . ." He watched as Utena poured him way too much sake then necessary. Hiko grinned.
Utena handed him the sake and watched him gulp it down. She waited, patiently. When Hiko was finally done, she put on a gloomy face. She looked away from Hiko and rubbed her arm. "Uhh. . . Seijiro-sama. . ."
"Just call me Hiko," Hiko grinned at her.
Utena smiled up at him, "More sake?"
Hiko just took the whole bottle and gulped it down.
Utena giggled. "Oh I just love a man who can drink. . ." meanwhile, she was thinking, 'Ugh what a pig. . .'
Hiko grinned at her.
Utena coughed and looked away from Hiko again. "Well, Hiko, there's something I need to ask you. . ."
Hiko smiled, "Anything. What is it?"
"Well, do you happen to have any kind of tablet that would. . .well. . . cause a virus let's say in a human being if they ate it?"
Hiko frowned thinking, "Well. . .I only made one kind of tablet that would do something like that. . .it's very dangerous. . .why?"
Utena gave him a puppy dog look. "Well, I just really need a few dozen of those tablets. . ."
Hiko bit his lip. "Well. . ." he looked at her puppy dog eyes, and smiled, "Okay."
Utena jumped with joy. "Oh thank you!!! Thank you!!!"
Hiko gave her a bottle. "Give two of the tablets to whoever you need to a day, and in about two or three months, they'll die."
Utena got up on her tippy toes and pecked Hiko on the lips. "Oh thank you Hik-kun! I better go now. . .Ja!" she headed out the door.
Hiko raised an eyebrow. '. . .Hik-kun. . .? But I'm forty-five years old. . .'
`~`~`~`~END FLASH BACK~`~`~`~`
Utena sighed. She had a depressed look on her face as she sat at the kitchen table, her head resting on her arms. 'That was last month. . .who would think best friends would turn against each other and one of them would kill the other. . . who would imagine her guilty of murder. . . when all she had ever done was help her best friend recover from a so-called- sickness.' She sighed again.
Tomoe carefully walked down the hall. Her footsteps couldn't be heard, and she walked from her bedroom out to the kitchen. "Utena?" she asked softly.
Utena jumped. "WHA???" she calmed down. "Oh. . . it's just you Tomoe. . ."
Tomoe looked worriedly at her best friend. "Utena, where's Enishi?" she asked, voice smooth and silky; part of the reason why Utena hated her so much.
Utena looked down at the table.
"Utena?"
"He's out."
"Oh. I see," Tomoe walked over to the kitchen table and sat down, carefully, like an old woman. She sure felt like an old woman, and the doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
Utena looked at Tomoe, and tried to hide her disgust from her face. "Well . . . uhh. . . How are you feeling today Tomoe?" she smiled.
Tomoe looked at Utena, and tried her best not to sigh. She didn't find it lady-like. "I-I feel fine, Utena. Thank you for caring about me." She smiled softly. But Tomoe had her suspicions. Of course, she would never admit them aloud, but something told her that somehow, someway, Utena was the reason of her sickness.
Utena nodded. "Good. . .That's good Tomoe. I've just been so worried about you. . ." 'Heck yah, worried your tablets aren't working. . .'
Tomoe smiled softly again. "Thank you Utena. Where would I be without you?"
Utena looked at her and smiled. 'Oh I know exactly where you would be. . .with that. . .Battousai guy. . .Ick. . . What was his real name? Kenshin? Something like that. . .' she thought.
Tomoe sat there quietly, and looked outside. "It's raining. . ." she whispered.
Utena turned around to look at the window. "Funny. . . it's the middle of summer. . ."
Tomoe watched as the rain came down on the tree about ten feet from the window. It was a Sakura tree, and was beautiful. But today, the tree sagged. It's pretty pink petals were falling to the ground. The wind picked up, and it looked like the tree was dancing to a sad, sad tune. Tomoe sighed softly. 'Ohhh. . .My head hurts. . .'
~*~
Enishi sat on a bench in the park. It started to rain. He looked up, and thought about going home, but he decided to just sit there. He wasn't in the mood. Nobody was today. It was just. . . a gloomy day.
Besides, Enishi was still thinking about things.
`~`~`~`~FLASH BACK~`~`~`~` ((AN: Oh how I love flash backs. . .heheheh. . .))
"Do you understand me? DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME YOUNG MAN???" asked a tall man.
Enishi tucked his head in his chest.
"WELL????"
"But. . . but isn't that against the law?" for the age of thirteen, he was pretty smart.
The man sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Listen to me: You need to be the strongest out there! You need to be the best! If you're weak, you die. Understand that?"
Enishi cocked his head. "If I'm weak. . . I die?"
"That's right son."
Enishi nodded, "Okay, what do I have to do again?"
The man sighed again. "Alright, we're getting nowhere. . ."
Enishi shook his head, "No no! I understand you! I will not fail you father, just tell me what I do."
Enishi's father put his hands on Enishi's shoulders. "You have to test your strength and bravery. I talked to a friend of mine, who is a spy and overheard something about Katsura. Katsura will be attacking a meeting tonight in Tokyo. Something he doesn't do, hanging around Tokyo, but hey, he's Katsura.
"There'll be a man there, whose name is Hitokiri Battousai."
Enishi raised an eyebrow. "Hitokiri. . . Battousai?"
"Yes. He is an evil man, or boy I should say. He's barely sixteen, if not fifteen! But he's good, and much better then you. Avoid him at all cost!!! Now, I want you to pick the first person you see who is weaker then you. You need to get the hang of this, alright?"
"Anybody?" Enishi asked.
His father nodded, and smiled. "Now be good boy and don't let your father down."
Enishi nodded. "I won't fail you." But inside he was thinking, 'But who would be weaker then me?'
~*~
Amber eyes darted across the dark night. 'Now where did they go?' his mind screamed. He saw two people darting away. "Gotcha," he whispered.
He ran after them with god-like-speed. He watched as the man turned around and shielded his wife with his body.
"Come no closer you beast!" the man shouted. He held up his bokken.
Amber eyes danced with laughter. He laughed, but then suddenly stopped and barked, "Foolish man! I am here to create a new era for Japan! And I am not a beast!" he ran forward to the man, katana in hand, ready to taste blood once more.
With amazing ability, he slashed several times through the man holding the bokken. The woman screamed out in horror, deafening his ears. He wiped the blood from his katana, and put it back in its sheath.
The woman looked at him with complete horror, her train of thoughts probably roaming around, 'He's going to kill me. . .', or so the man guessed. He smirked, "Don't worry, I don't kill women." He turned around and walked away, tuning out the sounds of the woman's sobs.
Enishi watched the whole scene fold before his eyes. 'I mustn't let father down.' He searched the area for somebody weaker then him, and his eyes caught upon the woman; Kaoru's mother. Enishi walked over to her. 'What am I doing?! I'm about to kill a woman!' he frowned. 'No. I mustn't let father down.'
Battousai began to walk again, until his ears were practically shattered with the sound of the woman screaming in pain, and then coming to a sudden stop.
Battousai wiped around quickly to see that a man had killed the woman with his katana. His eyes widened. He hadn't seen such madness in all his life. Enishi had killed the woman with such vigor, such fury. He could tell the boy didn't know the woman. He looked closer at the boy. He was only a 'little' boy! New at the ways of killing!
Enishi had dark hair, wide eyes, and little circled glasses. Battousai's amber eyes narrowed. The boy looked only two years younger then himself, or three. The amber eyes closed. Besides, he himself was only fifteen years old. . .
