Chapter 6
Utsusemi made his way into the Shainto throne room past the dead bodies scattered around like discarded dolls. He saw the Shainto lord in all his full glory, decked out in battle armor, his large decorated katana with him, lying dead. The lord was dead and standing over his body was Tatsumi his two katanas drawn and bloodstained.
"Tatsumi," Utsusemi said in an astonished tone "are you responsible for this?"
Tatsumi looked up and not answering the initial question replied, "before I killed him he confided in me that I was his son. I first doubted him but now I know it to be true, my blood is of my enemies the one force I have been fighting most of my life. Kill me Utsusemi and free me."
"Tatsumi, I will do no such thing. You are of Narukagami and you have finished what was to be done. Leave here."
"If you wont kill me, then I'll kill you," He yelled
Tatsumi charged Utsusemi his two katanas ready to strike. Utsusemi blocked his lightning quick attacks with his nodachi but his energy was running out. He retaliated, but it sword was too slow for Tatsumi and he blocked it easily. Tatsumi found an opening and cut at Utsusemi's arm. Utsusemi's strikes became weaker and Tatsumi found another opening and sliced him across the stomach. Tatsumi raised both his katanas in the air to execute the final attack, and Utsusemi using his last bit of strength thrust his sword into Tatsumi's mid section. Blood ran down his sword and pooled at his hilt guard, Tatsumi dropped his katanas and fell to the ground.
"thank……..you" Tatsumi said with his last breath.
Utsusemi left the temple and then bandaged himself. He never reported back to the Narukagami and left the island. He then on lead a life of solitude.
