Chapter Two
As she heard the footsteps, her heartbeat began to race as she saw the person standing next to her seat. She slowly geared her eyes upward until she got to the drunken man's face.
"You l-look lo-onely all the way b-back here," he remarked in his intoxicated voice. "Looks l-like you could u-use some compan-ny. We c-can have s-some fun back h-here." he continued as he began to grope his way to sit next to her.
She felt the rage boiling inside of her...knowing what he wanted to do. And at the same time, almost felt like laughing, for he most likely couldn't tell how trained and strong she was.
"How a-are you-u on this f-fine night-t?"
he was completely delirious, and had obviously had Sake, the stench was strong on his breath. Ayane could hardly stop herself from coughing from the horrid smell. He put his nasty arm over her shoulder and held her tight next to his side.
"Hey, why ain't you talkin!" he yelled in her ear.
"Either you get out of my face, or I will force you to." she coldly remarked. Planning her strategy. His arm started to reach for her shirt buttons but was stopped in his tracks by Ayane who grabbed it and twisted it enough to break the average man's arm.
"O-o-oh so the l-little lady has a t-tough side." he said with a sick grin on his dirty face.
"I will count to ten." Ayane said emotionlessly. By that time, some people from the front of the train were starting to peak around. They went unnoticed by the two. Or so they thought.
"1..."
"2..."
"3..." he didn't move. "4..." she continued.
"5..." he started to form a smirk on his hideous face.
"6...7...8..." he almost couldn't contain himself from laughing as the other passengers watched in anticipation.
"9....this is your last chance you creep" she said, hoping he would move so she wouldn't have to reveal her strength to the passengers and take yet another life.
"10..." and at that, Ayane jumped in the air and made her heel dig into the man's head. He fell. Blood gushing out of the deep hole in his skull. The passengers watched in fear as Ayane lifted the window and shoved the body out, to let it rot in the fields. Then calmly walk to her seat to resume meditating.
Slowly the passengers started discussing if they should tell the authorities, or keep it a secret. They were afraid that the assassin would destroy each of them. Ayane listened with hopes that she wouldn't have to kill them.
"What do you think Yuki?" questioned one of the men. "I say we don't take any chances," she replied, "Our children wouldn't survive if we were gone!"
"I completely disagree." Yuoi remarked, "If we keep silent about this, she might go on and kill innocent people! We can ask for protection from the police."
"No way! You are not going to make me get myself killed!!" interrupted Koryu. "I don't know about most of you, but I'm never uttering a word to anyone about this. It's not worth our lives!"
"I say we try and kill her." a hush came over the group as all eyes turned towards Aori. "There's eight men here and only one of her. We wouldn't have to tell anyone, and she wouldn't have the chance to kill anyone else. And if we fail, whoever survives will keep their mouths shut."
Ayane's eyes widened.
"We have another day til we get off this train. That'll be plenty of time to do it and get rid of the body." A few nods were seen in the group, followed by a few 'hnnn's as they planned the attack. Little did they know that the assassin was well hearing most of what they said.
'I either need to get off this train, or kill all of them.' she pondered. If she left the train, she would be behind schedule. But she didn't know if she had the guts to kill all of them, eight men, two women, and three small children.
Just then, one of the little girls looked back at what she thought to be a beautiful lady, and waved. Ayane waved back and couldn't bear having to kill her. She was hired and trained to kill adults, not children.
As quickly as the little girl waved, she was jerked away by her mother who gave Ayane a quick smile then returned to the group.
Ayane still sat there listening to the plan being made by the unsuspecting passengers. She shook her head. Obviously, none of them knew anything about fighting. She had no idea what she should do.
Soon, the group began to sit back in their seats quietly. They were done. Ayane made sure that she kept awake or they might actually strike her.
A few hours later, the women and children kissed their dads and husbands and started to make their way toward the front of the train.
The men just sat there, hoping to wait long enough to catch the assassin off guard. Ayane managed to relax a little, knowing that she would not have to kill the children or women.
Ayane was in the middle of a battlefield, covered in blood. She had just killed over one hundred men. She started to walk back home when she realized that more men were left. They fired their machine guns at her and skillfully, she dodged each and every one of them. Except for one, it pierced her heart. She laid on the ground, losing her last breath as one of the men stood above her.
"Goodbye"
she woke and saw through her haziness a figure looming above her with a knife, ready to finish her.
She jumped up grabbed her dagger and stabbed the figure through the heart in no more than a second.
She landed on the ground, stunned. She hadn't realized what she did. He fell, dead, instantly. Ayane looked back as the rest of the men stood wide-eyed, they had no idea she was so fast!
To break the silence, Aori charged at her, knife in hand. She dodged at the last second and pushed him into a wall. She turned around to find the other men running at her as fast as they could, all with unsureness in their eyes.
She stood in front of them, ready to fight. One by one, in no more than ten seconds, the remaining six men were on the floor, some dead, some close. Ayane hid the bodies behind the seats hoping the smell would not drift too far towards the front.
The next morning, they arrived in the station. Ayane sped off the train as soon as possible and into the shadows of the forest.
"I've been waiting for you." came a deep voice. She turned around and became wide-eyed.
