Chappie 2

Kenshin

I sprang up into a sitting position, my sword unsheathed and ready to strike.

My eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness and I peered slowly around the room for signs of life. Although I could not see anything, I knew someone had recently been there. I could still smell them. It was a light, unique fragrance, smelling something like flowers.

They had to have been specially trained if they were able to get into my room undetected. I can sense and smell a person from a few metres away, even when asleep. It's part of my job. As an assassin. I am the leader of a group of 50 assassins called the 'The Hidden Tigers'. Our aim is to destroy the government and to kill anyone who tries to stop us.

The next Day

Tomoe

He wasn't hard to follow. She could easily pick out the high pony tailed red hair in a crowd. He was wearing a maroon shirt and white trousers.

As he was trying to draw the least amount of attention to himself he walked to the side of the street, where buildings and their shadows, hid him slightly from sight.

Every now and then he would stop suddenly, lift his head up a little and then carry on walking. She suspected that it was because he knew she was following him but then again that was the point. It was all part of her plan.

Kenshin

The scent was hardly noticeable. It was disguised by other smells from around the market place.

I knew that it belonged to the person who was in my room last night; and judging by the feminine scent I'd say it was a woman. A woman that happened to be following me.

Looking around discreetly, I tried to place its owner. There were a few crowds of people around and it was hard to see but still I could tell that it was none of them.

Outside a shop with a large window, I stopped and scrutinized several people that walked past but none of them looked quite right. Then I saw a tall woman with long black hair standing a few meters away from me. I knew at once that it was her.

I stopped abruptly and ducked around a corner. When she walked past searching for me, I grabbed her from behind and held the blade of my sword against her neck.

Tomoe

I knew he had seen me once he stopped outside a shop window. He walked on but had begun to quicken his pace, taking long fast strides and I was almost jogging to keep up with him.

Then, I blinked once and he was gone.

My eyes frantically roamed the area in front me as I wondered where he could have gone. I decided he couldn't have gone far and walked in approximately the same direction that he went.

I gasped as a hand grabbed the back of my dress and dragged me backwards until I was around a corner. I was thrown against a brick wall and a sword came from behind me, its blade pressing into my neck.

Another hand was clamped around my wrists, holding my arms behind my back.

I had expected him to confront me when he knew I was following him but now I suspected that he may kill me.

A thin strand of his red hair blew forward and tickled my cheek as he began to speak in a low, deadly tone.

"Why were you following me?" He demanded.

I had already made up a convenient story as to why I was following him but the fact that he could kill me any second was just a bit distracting.

"I- I wasn't. I mean- I didn't mean to." I found myself stammering.

A slight growl from him told me that he was unhappy with my reply and I was quick to explain to him what I meant.

"Well, I did mean to follow you but it was not so I could harm you. You see, what happened was, I saw you walking through the market and I couldn't help but admire the colour of your hair but I couldn't get a close look because you were walking so fast, so I ended up following you."

I took in a deep breath and prayed that he believed me.

END!
