The Battle of Love
Chapter 3: A Life Saved IsA Life Lost
Hey everyone! I am back again! Long time no see and speak! lol! Hope you like this chapter! R&R.
The gang (Dark, Daisuke, Riku, Risa) are all staring dumbstruck at the girl named Layla in front of them. She has just told them she was Daisuke's fiancée whom he had carelessly chucked aside and gone of with another maiden and now she wants revenge. Layla has just lunged herself at Daisuke while holding a katana and he is unable to move out of the way in time.
"This time you will not get away," she screams madly and lunges at the petrified Daisuke.
"No," screams Risa and throws herself in front of the Katana.
The katana pierces her heart and she falls to the ground. There is silence as everyone, including Layla herself, stares at the katana in Risa's chest.
"Nooooooo," Daisuke yells in lament, "I will never forgive you for this!"
Suddenly, there is a glowing black mist surrounding them all and Daisuke is surrounded by blindingly white light. He is whispering something but they cannot hear him and then, all of a sudden, lightning appears and strikes Layla. She falls to the ground in a dead faint and the luminous white sheen around Daisuke is transferred to Risa's bleeding and dieing body.
"Are you okay Risa? Speak to me," says Daisuke in a worried and miserable tone.
"I feel strangely better," says Risa sitting up on the hard tarmac.
"I didn't know you could do that," said Dark.
"Well, there is a lot of things you don't know about me, oh counterpart self," replies Daisuke with a smile darting playfully around his lips
"I'd like to get to know you better then," says Dark.
"Kay," replies Daisuke.
Risa sits up and looks about her. She remembers throwing herself in front of the katana but how come she doesn't have a wound. She tries to stand but the shock of having a wound and then it disappearing had taking it's toll on her mind and she was forced to sit down again.
She was just looking around for Riku, when strong arms picked her up. She looks up; only to find that it was Daisuke's arms she was in. She blushes.
Why am I blushing, she thinks?
" Don't worry everything will be all right," Daisuke says reassuringly.
They walk off into the night, with the gang following solemnly behind.
It is a brand new day for the gang and it is Saturday. Usually they go to school but today they decided not to (Saturday school is optional in some schools). They are in a park. Daisuke is walking with Risa but they are not saying anything. Dark is behind them walking with Riku. The too of them are talking so merrily they don't notice the sombre mood of Risa and Daisuke.
Why do I feel this way? Risa asks in her head. Why is it every time I think of him my heart starts to race as if I have just done a marathon?
Risa shakes her head and looks around at the scenery. She spotted a pretty flower and walked towards it. A figure hops out from the bushes. It is Layla.
"Kyaaaaaaaah," screams Risa. Daisuke appears at her side in a flash.
"What do you want Layla," yells Daisuke standing protectively in front of Risa.
"I want to apologise," she says, bowing low to the ground so her head touched the floor. "I said that I would not harm another person but you or else I would commit Sepuku. And I have harmed your friend so I must do my deed. In honour of your friend I permit you to watch and scorn.
(Sepuku A ritual of beheading yourself because of a broken promise or misdeed)
Daisuke's eyes open in shock and horror.
"YOU CAN'T COMMIT SEPUKU! AND IF YOU DO I WILL CERTAINLY NOT WATCH AND SCORN," he screams.
"I will do as I promised and I promised I would so I shall." She says determinedly.
Layla takes her sword by the hilt from her scabbard and rest her head on a stone. She lifts her right hand in the air and let's the sword hover above her neck. A single diamond tear rolls down her cheek and falls off the end of her chin. She let's her hand drop.
"Noooooooooooo," screams Daisuke!
Well folks, that's it for this chapter. A lot of drama in this one, even I can't wait for the next chapter.
