Chapt 5 The Man who Taught him

As Hayate gazed at the sight before him, he dropped his katana. Immediately following the katana was Hayate himself, the very sight of the man who opposed him shocked him into submission.

"Hello Hayate."

"M-Mitsurugi-s-sama?? Why are you there?"

"I'm sorry Hayate, but I lost a duel to this man, my allegiance or his sword. It was a choice I could not ignore. Forgive me. But I must fight you..."

Hayate was still in total shock. The man who had cared for him ever since his orphaned childhood, now stood against him allied with the man who caused all of his grief and sadness. The man who showed him so much, the man who taught him so much...was now his enemy. The one he almost called "father".

"Why? I haven't seen you since I was 16 and our reunion...we meet again as rivals?"

"Hayate...It was bound to happen."

"ENOUGH TALK!" boomed a voice Hayate was still all to familiar with.

"Nightmare!", Mitsurugi yelled, "I beg you do not kill Hayate."

"THE BOY MUST DIE!!" Boomed Nightmare.

"Wait my master!kukukuku." Said a peculiar voice hidden from the rest of the group.

"YOSHIMITSU, WHAT DO YOU WANT?" yelled Nightmare.

"Nightmare-sama, I wish to fight this man. I saw what he can do and I am very intrigued" said Yoshimitsu in a giddy voice as he hovered over.

"CHOO!! Here I come!" Announced Yoshimitsu.
