Chapter 15

Got to find shelter, they are coming, my eyes opening witnessing a bright blinding light. A Hind D helicopter, it was tracking me, I made a mistake. How did it find me? Feet carrying me away from the menacing light, then the sounds of machine gun fire would fly by my head. I wouldn't let those bastards get me like my mother and father. I was stronger than them, I was easily capable of getting away. "Tch..." I felt the heat of a bullet hit my back, it hurt like nothing I had ever felt before why?

Hitting the ground I blacked out or so I believed, only to open them and witness some jungle. It was Bolivia I remembered doing a job here. It was a simple task of killing a drug lord, why was I seeing my past. I heard you did this when you were dieing so this was the case wasn't it? I was dieing and seeing all my past crimes, so would I be judged for them? It didn't matter I didn't have any regrets, I lived my life. My way, thats the way all men should live, no regrets right? Wait I do have a regret... Ayane...

I remembered her now while I looked upon my actions, sneaking up on men who knew nothing of guerrilla warfare. I used simple tactics from ambushing to using my grenades to detonate vehicles. They were easily outmatched by my tactics. It was a waiste of my talent, even if the money for the job was all I did it for. There was no honor, nothing like my job I pulled again Fame Douglas. That job set me apart from all the others in my line of work. I was truly the greatest assassin in the world after that job.

I noticed in my vision Leon was there, that desert rat. I remembered what happened. I thought I had him in a trap, it was my mistake. I was wounded so bad, yet he didn't finish me off. I did manage to escape but hearing his remark I never understood. He couldn't die yet, he was fighting for someone. What did that matter to me, it was practically pointless. So why now that I was dying did I remember it? Why! I found my thoughts erratic now, flashes of the beach shores of Japan. The hot spring I was sneaking up on. I now remembered what I saw.

Ayane, that purple haired kunoichi, the one who tracked me down like a demon. All the way to my country, I couldn't believe how careless I was. I should have known someone would find me, but I never got to ask how she did it. We both fought in the snow, in my mind it was the best fight I ever had, I even double guessed myself and couldn't kill her. Was that because I respected her as a fighter. Or was it more, she was different than any I was asked to kill before, she reminded me of something more.

She reminded me of me, her eyes as cold as icebergs. Her strikes as lethal as a honed combat knife. She was just like me, one true skilled professional with a different style. Yet we both took the same values into the hunt, to kill and to not stop till the task was done. That was why I found myself hunting Donovan. That bastard I owed him for causing me all this trouble, yet at the same time I should have thanked him. Because of him I found something in someone I didn't believe existed. It was not supposed to be but I know it exist.

My ears were ringing, what was going on now? I figured it was just more of my life passing before my eyes. Expecting to meet the devil in hell. Yet in this moment I was able to feel pressure on my body. Where was it coming from? I seemed to be dazing in and out of my mind. Or perhaps out of this dream and into another, either one seemed quite possible given the circumstances that I found myself in. My vision now flickered with a faint glint of a light hit my eyes, opening them a little more I got my answer of what was going on.

Everything seemed to be in slow motion, I saw the light purple hair of Ayane I felt a lot of pressure from the one above the both of us. Raidou was using Ayane and I as a rug. The first blow jarred my mind, I was coherent enough to know Ayane was protecting me. The faint remembrance of the battle with Christie was nearly a forgotten memory. My instincts would take over my body rolling with Ayane on me. The hellish crash of weight would dent the platform I was laying on. I felt the light body of Ayane's lean against mine.

I didn't even look down, my right leg coming up and catching the sizable man known as Raidou behind the knee. This did to my luck cause a slight hunch over. Which allowed me to roll backwards. I noticed Ayane moving away from me as well. I would wave my hand, which I found out hurt like hell to do. My bullet wound, a reminder of Christie's kiss, and now the poison. Why had I awoke, maybe the poison was only temporary, but I was sure about the bullet wound not being so temporary. It burned my flesh where the entry point was, it seemed to effect my breathing a little.

Thats all I needed was a wound to my lungs, this would make fighting this giant nearly impossible. My eyes scanned the area quickly, I noticed some woman with dark skin holding up Christie. Was this a threat, hell at the moment it truly didn't matter if she was a threat or not. I looked at the massive man known as Raidou and instantly knew he was the biggest threat. Within that moment I advanced on Raidou, using my fist to throw a punch toward his chest. Which easily was handled like a child.

I felt Raidou lift me, but that had been what I wanted. I was being tossed over, but adjusting my weight I landed on my feet behind Raidou. Locking my arms behind his back, I would snap loudly. "Ayane!!" I spoke loudly hearing her quick steps and she used that powerful corkscrew style kick it sent me falling backwards. Which was the point I wanted I wasn't able to throw the massive man without some form of help. Which came in that instance. I felt my back arc straight back and I released the large mass of Raidou.

Yet to my dismay I wouldn't hear the sound of a satisfactory crashing sound. Instead I heard the thud of feet crashing into the ground. I saw in my slightly blurred vision while I got up that Raidou in fact was a monster. Landing with grace of a smaller man. Now what was I going to do. I had just now noticed Raidou doing odd hand gestures, what the hell was he intending to do. My ears now catching a loud scream which made my blood grow icy cold.

"Bayman look out!" It was Ayane's voice, my eyes trying to focus on Raidou who only cackled out a laugh while what appeared to be energy formed in his back hand. "I will kill you using this technique. The Sky Torn Blast!" Everything happened within that instant. The ball of light crashing into my body and then the hard crash into some fence which broke under my weight and the attack. I felt blood now pool out of my lips, what in the hell was this magic. It just couldn't be real, I found myself dulled in thought seeing the sight of Ayane run in my direction. "I messed up, sorry Ayane." It was all I could say to the approaching Kunoichi.
