Thought The Eyes of The Assassin Part 5
By: Roaring Flames
Well im glad that Ur reading this and it makes my life so much easier when I get long responses. No im not asking this just so I can feel better as a writer and not get chained to my computer if I don't update soon so here's the next chapptie!!!! I used a bigger font this time so im not manually making spaces.
Disclaimers: I do not own any of the characters (except for my characters) in this story so don't sue. Im just a homeless bum.
Healing Kyoto Hearts
Battousai could hear voices getting closer. He needed to work fast or risk getting the girl involved. He refused to let another woman die in front of him, after he killed Tomoe. But, there was no time to think of the past. Only think of the future. Battousai drew his blade and charged the men so fast that they died without even realizing it.
Karou ran the other way down the alley. She did not want to see another human get killed over some stupid war. Her hand was on her katana at all times while running. Making it to a bridge, Karou stopped and rested for a little bit. Karou saw more men coming her way and they did not look like they wanted to stop and have a nice chat. More like bloodthirsty animals (AN: I refuse to go as low as saying wolves in this sort of situation) going through withdraw. But, the weird thing was a girl was leading them. She looked like she was at least 15 years of age with raven hair tied up in a medium ponytail (AN: Sorry im obsessed with ponytails!).
The girl ran up to Karou, then order the men to go and search the riverbed for Hitokiri Battousai. The men nodded and ran off. The girl then turned to Karou and smiled a welcoming smile. "Hi sorry to scare you im Chihiro, Co Captain of the third squad of the Shinsengumi." The girl put out her hand to Karou. Karou grabbed her hand and pulled herself up. Chihiro was just as tall as Kotori was and they both shared the same eye color, midnight blue. Chihiro looked at Karou in a funny way. "Something on your mind Miss?" Karou dully looked at Chihiro in an annoyed way. "My name is Karou and why are you Co Captain of the Shinsengumi, Chihiro?" Chihiro sighed. She hated the way her name sounded when Karou spoke to her. "Never mind don't call me Chihiro, "Sai" will do."
"Sai where are you?!?!" A voice called out from nearby. Karou turned around and saw a man just about the same height as Sai come out. It was Okita (I hope that was the right person ^^;;), captain of the first squad of the Shinsengumi. He approached Sai and just sighed. "Sai your father wants to see you right away and he said if you didn't come right now he would retrain you in fighting with limited breaks and no rest." Okita said while trying to regain his breath. Sai flinched and started to shiver. "We- well I'll b-be seeing you later K-Karou." Sai said while walking away with Okita. Okita was trying to cheer her up by telling her some jokes. But, he knew it was all vain. While walking away, Karou could've sworn she heard Sai muttering a few bad things about her father like "He loves to see me suffer!" And "Out of all the people that could be my dad it had to be him!"
A Few minutes later.
"Damn it where did that girl go to?!" Battousai muttered to himself. That was the seconded time Karou left him. 'She can't stand still for at least two seconds while I kill some idiots?!' Battousai thought while running down riverbed area. All ready he killed at least one squad while he ran. 'I wonder how they knew I'll be down here?' As Battousai turned to go to another alley, he smack skulls with someone and fell to the ground. "Ah! Shit that hurt! What's your head made of titanium?!?!?" The person shouted. Battousai recognized the voice and saw it was Kotori. He got up and pulled Kotori up forcefully by the GI. "Where's Karou?" Battousai started to strangle Kotori (In a way to get things out of you sort of way). "Oro, that's what I was gonna ask you! Now put me down or I'll poke you!!!" Kotori yelled while flicking off Battousai. She was clearly under too much stress then she was used to. (AN: Yes I made her said Oro, don't worry Kenshin will say it in later chapters, I think.)
"Oh, im so glad I found you guys." Karou said as she approached the two who paused when they heard her voice. They both were pulling each other's hair. Clearly they never had engaged in this sort of combat and were rookies at trying to piss the other person off so much that they would bloodshot (AN: Talking about the eyes) with rage. In simpler terms it's called "Play fighting". Battousai pulled away from Kotori and forcefully grabbed Karou's hand then dragged her back to the inn. That wasn't without Kotori nagging him about that he should be nicer to women like Karou. Battousai continued to ignore Kotori until she started to through hard objects at his head. They made back to the inn and Battousai order Karou back to her room, while he would repay the favor for Kotori.
Karou climbed the stairs and went into her room. As she shut the door behind her she heard saw a pair of eyes staring back at her. Karou reacted first by pulling out her katana. The figure backed it's self into a corner and stared to whine softly. She turned on a gas lamp and saw a little girl in rags crying. Karou sheathed her sword and approached the girl. She bent down to her and put a blanket on her. "What's your name?" Karou asked as she rubbed the girls back. The girl opened her mouth, but nothing came out. The girl was in a pretty bad condition. Karou could feel her spine and her ribs when rubbing he back. She also appeared to be mute. Karou picked the girl up and laid her down on her futon with her and they both fell asleep.
The next morning.
Karou got up and dressed the little girl in a cute, pink, little kimono. They went downstairs and ate breakfast with Kotori, who was complaining about a giant bruise on her back. Karou smiled and guessed that was what Battousai meant about "repaying the favor". Karou turned and looked at the little girl who was humming a little tune and eating her breakfast. "She's been traumatized by something. That's why she can't talk. Right?" Kotori blurted out to Karou while looking at the little girl. She was really cute for a 9 year old, with light brown eyes and Carmel blonde hair. Kotori guessed that she was right, then pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. "Can you write down your name then?
The girl nodded slowly and picked up the pen. She wrote down "Kisa" on the paper and handed it to Kotori. "Kisa. That a very adorable name for a very adorable little girl." Kotori said while hugging Kisa. Kisa started to cry tears of happiness in Kotori arms. "You must've been so lonely. I've seen you on the streets a few times. Im sorry that couldn't save your parents." Kotori whispered to Kisa. Last night, She put Kisa in Kaoru's room after, Kisa's parents tried to protect her from an assassin from the Shinsengumi. Kotori came too late and killed the assassin with little effort. She found Kisa in her mother's arms. Kisa's mother last request was that her daughter grows up in the new era under Kotori's protection and that she would be happy.
Karou looked down at the ground and felt sadness take over her soul. "The loss of a love one is hard and painful. But you're not alone.that is all a person needs to know. Someone will be there to lift your soul out of despair, then overflowing your heart with warmth and happiness." Karou said while not noticing that Battousai was listening in on they're conversation on the staircase. Apparently her words made him feel a little bit better and he walked to the next meeting, secretly in a good mood. Until the darkness covered the inn later that day.
