Drowning in tears of Blood chapter 5
Yuki was dead, He died in my arms, I felt as the warmth seeped out of him! What the hell was going on. The world spun, and I grabbed the wall to support myself. Pushing off I tore off after him. But no matter where I looked, I couldn't find him. I cradled my head in one hand. Stupid girl. He's dead, your imagining things because you came with him here last time. I went back to my browsing. But behind me a smiling figure left the scene.
As I sat eating a small lunch, the rest of the group turned up to join me.
"Anything good? New kimono or something, I'm dying to see some new outfits from you!" Asked Kate, referring to the main aim of my blog. I lifted several bags with a smile. "Very good morning for shopping. The god of luck must have been with me."
Suddenly I felt a disturbance. "Hey Kattana, your eyes went red you wearing contacts?" Asked Billy-Joe. I looked up. "No, but I need to do something. Do you mind looking after my stuff for a few minutes. I'll catch up with you soon." Cheree knowing what was happening agreed no questions and nicked my chair telling me to hurry back. I walked around the corner and disappeared.
My eye's surveyed a new scene. A man most new as Primo or Giotto lay crashed on the ground. Blood gushing from his shoulder. I rolled my shoulders as I stepped out of the trees in my Hakkama and kimono, Kattana at hand. The attacker looked at me, a smile on his lips. "You one of his cronies.?"
"Just a concerned passer-by that would like this man left in one piece." I replied. For the world of Katekyo Hitman Reborn he was a little too important to lose this early. In that instant I killed the man then walked over to staunch Giotto's wound.
"Thankyou," He murmed, "I'm usually not this…"
"That's fine, your just lucky I had time. Giotto right?"
"You seem to be one up on me."
"Only on first name, it's Himura Kattana." I rested my chin in my hands as I watched him sit up. "You got cut because you didn't pay enough attention. You got too confident in your ability's. I think you've been fighting too many weaklings." I smiled. Thinking of how easy it was for me to take down groups of high ranking soldiers. I should take my own advice. He nodded thoughtfully. "You're probably right. Although I think this may be the lull before the storm. Walk with me?" He stood and headed towards the city, marked by a thin layer of smoke to our left. I'd never been to Italy, it was surprisingly pretty to see and the buildings all new and clean compared to some of the recent photos I'd seen of some of the older buildings… Reaching his Palazzi we were greeted by a worried G., escorting us inside as Giotto explained to him the situation I inspected the area, so as not to be caught out. I had been called here for a reason. Only now to find out what it was. I cocked my head looking for sounds out of place, or smells signalling the trouble. But nothing came to me as I sat down in Primo's office. After chatting for a while I finally got my lead, 3km out I could here a group of demons amassing. They did this with or without knowing I was here. But the aim would be a massacre of the city to recruit warriors for the war that would spell the end of the middle ground. I sighed and asked that I be excused. Primo tried to insist on a room for the night, but I had to get this over with. Thanking him for his kindness I left. Promising I would take him up on his offer at another time.
Walking at a Quick pass I made my way to wear the sound of amassing footsteps. I arrived to see the demonic soldiers; around 100 lined up in rows, at attention and facing a podium were the general was speaking. I couldn't see his face but made my way out, clapping casually as he finished a sentence. "Now what do you think you lot are going to do here without my permission?" I said, then looked up and nearly tripped. Standing on the podium, clear as day, was Tomo. Frozen to the spot he stepped down. "It's been a while Kattana, but I thought the man in the relationship called the shots, no matter the standing of the woman right." He smiled broadly and opened his arms. "Hug my beautiful?"
By then I had recovered. Drawing myself up to my full height, I drew my hands up to my lips and placed them together against my bottom lip in a contemplative manor. Thinking fast, my eye's narrowed as it clicked. "Ah, so you used me. Let me guess. You worked under… Him."
His smile got even wider. " I knew you were quick, but that is brilliant. Did someone tell you or did you work it out just from my uniform?"
I sighed, the picture of calm, like I'd seen this coming for ages, as my heart pounded inside. "Your uniform. May I say I'm not pleased to find that you pulled my strings like that, and that I'm glad I never let you into my bed. You should have died after our wedding night." I smirked as his face dropped. "Anyway. Whatever you're planning, it's not good for me or the people in that village. Sorry but I don't have time to play with you lot today." I lunged, and as I promised it was slaughter. But after the battle as I stood in the pile of slowly disintegrating body's, I realised that Tomo had disappeared. "ch," I grunted turning from the scene. "I'm going to murder that man."
