-Isn t that a little obvious? the attacker laughed mockingly I intend to eliminate you today after recovering what was ordered to me recover it! he then tightened the chains around Saori s neck, that placed her paws on the chains and began moaning so if you don t want me to kill her right now, drop your sword and kick it to me!
-N No Richard d don t do that because o of me - Saori said in the best way possible.
-Hey, quiet there slut if you don t want to die faster! he then tightened the chains a little more after I end him I will still want to have fun with you while I hear your screams in the process.
-A Alright - I replied dropping my sword, letting it fall to the ground, kicking it towards him next; I was sure the he wasn t aware of the face I knew cat-fu there you are, as you wanted, I am unarmed I took out my suit and shirt as well staying only on my pants, so he could be sure I had nothing hidden I am at your orders, just let her go.
-Very good! Apparently nobles know when to be obedient! the murderer then kicked the sword outside through the door, making it leave the house and letting go of Saori from the chains, who fell to the ground coughing I hope you amuse me a little bit more than those pests here, they died way too quickly for me to get warmed up! he then walked towards me, when he was near, he raised his fist and declared get ready to the worst beating up of your life! trying to punch me next.
As soon as I noticed his paw heading towards me, I took a step to my left and applied a descending hit on his paw, making him lose balance followed by a low kick on the right leg s paw height, with this he was forced to turn upside down in the air and land on his back over a small table that was there, destroying it in the process; I took a step back and armed myself in cat-fu guard while the assassin groaned in pain and quickly stood up, as soon as he saw me in the stance I was, his eyes opened wide and he told me:
-H How could you? I thought you would be defenseless without your sword! then he got ready in his guard as well and now that I think about it that technique and this pose it is not possible you know cat-fu?
-Most certainly! You ordered me to just drop the sword, not to be beaten down without hitting back! I looked at Saori and ordered Saori! Go to Momiji and take him out of here!
-Y Yes! replied Saori running beside her fianc e.
-Now that s something really interesting! Then you surely will be much more fun to deal with than I imagined! he said and charged to attack me.
His cat-fu guard is common; the attack preparation is as well I thought then he couldn t have been sent by L via, as she would knew that no regular user of cat-fu would stand a chance against me, seeing I got to train with her even that s why when I saw him using his paw for a right cross punch, I prepared me to block and in sequence kick his ribs using a mid-kick, everything was going according planned until when I stopped his attack, however instants later I felt a very strong impact on my back, right on the shoulder bone, making me lose my breath almost instantly; then I was hit by a potent punch at my face, throwing me to the ground, the assassin laughed at me and mocked:
-Ha! Even though you surprised me because you knew the cat-fu technique he then pointed to Momiji you forgot that I came prepared to face nekomimis too! That is why I those weapons that are united with my wrists are perfect! As I don t need to manipulate them, just hold or let go of the chain! Now if you allow me, I shall torture you before I kill you! he then prepared to apply one more hit.
Even if the last punch hit my right in the middle of my face, I was still with my reflexes well and fit to fight, I stood up and readied my guard, another punch was thrown towards me, knowing it was useless to block, I just took a stab back along with leaning my head to the opposite direction of the punch enough for, considering his arm size, not hit me, until a certain point I was successful, however he opened his paw and the iron ball along with the inertia came towards my face, my vision blurred so much the pain was made me lose my balance, I fell sitting on the floor, covering my face with my hands; I heard him saying next:
-It doesn t matter what you do sucker he laughed at me again even nekomimis that are very used to this fighting style wouldn t have enough time to get used dodging my weapon, because the iron ball would destroy them first! I hear him spinning the chain and ball in the air now to prevent you from standing up again, I shall do this!
That was when I felt another extremely violent pain, this time in my left knee, exactly where the ball hit; it seemed to me that something broke in there as well; then I howled in pain from the trauma, what just feed the assassin s sadistic desires even further, whom began then hitting every non-vital spot on my body, just trying to extract from me all pain laments that were possible, several minutes passed in this endless punishment, my body began showing sign it wouldn t hold on much longer, that was when the assassin asked:
-Do you want to say something before I send you to the other world? he neared me then, staring at me while laughing lowly.
-W Why are you doing this? W What do I have that is so precious to the point of getting this far? I asked while trying to focus my blurred vision at the murderer.
-You really don t know what is it? Well, not like it will make any difference, you shall die anyway he thought for some instants then so I think I will tell you while murdering you in the process! he rose his paw, ready to strike me directly on the head, I closed my eyes and prepared me to the end, when he said what you have that belongs to us is something that will change the stance of all nekomimi race in this world, something that just you had access until this moment after we found out what it really meant I heard him getting the chains ready what you have is
Everything became silent then, for a moment I thought I had died without knowing the motive, or maybe the blow s trauma made me forget what had been said; anyway I just thought into relaxing and resting, postponing finding out what there is after death a little later, I was tired and full of pains and wanted to recover before searching; however something crossed my mind, when you die, don t you rest? Or someone comes to get you? Or you simply cease to exist? Nothing like that happened and I still felt pain! I opened my eyes and saw a really big nekomimi before me between me and the assassin; that was when the murderer said:
-What is it? Are you in a hurry to die? he cackled then, spinning his chain and threatening him let me just end the Mr. rich guy there and then I shall deal with you he stopped his arm and attacked Momiji hitting him on the side of his mouth, however his head didn t even move, that made the assassin become astonished with the fact, letting the iron ball and chain free beside his body, while my slave muttered.
-You must have suffered so much Yui you must have suffered so much Marcus - that was when I managed to regain the focus in my vision, I noticed a similar energy to Enmie s surrounding Momiji, however it was dense and as dark as ebon, very unpleasant - you must have suffered so much Yui you must have suffered so much Marcus -Hum? Are you trying to say something? Are you idiot or just became insane of fear? he then used the iron ball to apply him a hit on the stomach, that didn t even hit Momiji oh! Are you trying to play macho for your master behind you huh? Do you think that pretending it doesn t hurt will serve you anything? Soon you shall begin getting wounded he then proceeded to apply hit after hit on my worker.
The ball wouldn t touch Momiji, that dark thing around him didn t allow it to near his body, however as just I was able to notice that horrendous energy around him, only I was aware of that fact; unfortunately I failed into noticing that Saori had began shaking violently beside me, and worsened when a hit broke the lace that kept Momiji's long hair tied, letting it free completely; at that instant the assassin was going to apply a really strong hit on Momiji s face, whom blocked the ball with his bare paw and held it, staring at him with eyes filled with hatred, he growled:
-You hurt Yui, Marcus and all my siblings - he squished the ball in his paws, to the point of almost crushing it I won t forgive you! Never! EVER!
Something completely incredible began happening before my eyes, Momiji pulled the chain dragging the murderer as if he was a piece of paper, making him fly towards my slave, whom hit him with full force in the middle of the chest with such strength that it threw him to the other side of the room, when he hit the wall the sound of the impact filled the premises and made the house s structure shake, falling to the ground next groaning in pain; when he looked at the iron ball, he noticed it had split in half; he tried to stand up while shocked, he was grabbed by the collar and lifted, that was when the massacre began.
The only audible sound on the premises were Momiji s paws hitting the murderer impetuously, followed by the sound of him crashing against the walls or furniture, it doesn t matter how much that rascal deserved this, it was hard watching a show like these; that was when I noticed that Saori beside me was shaking violently as if she was fearing something, soon I noticed it wasn t due to the corpses or even the killing of her siblings, it was something more primal and instinctive, I looked to where she was and noticed she was trembling from seeing her fianc e so mentally unstable; the final blow on her reaction came when we heard the out-of-control Momiji roaring:
-DIE YOU SON OF A BITCH! Momiji was hold him by the ears, he released them and then applied a blow on his chest, that went through the murderer and even entered the wall behind him, after some death trembles, Momiji took out his paw taking out the killer s heart in the process, with an insane face he then began devouring the organ while it still worked a little; it was at that moment that Saori became crazy.
-I d did it again it is my fault again - she then placed the paws over her ears and began crying shaking her head it is my fault that my love is crazy again take me out of here I c cannot see him like that AGAIN! her eyes became glazed and then she became wobbly, without showing she was reacting to external stimulus.
-Saori? Saori? I called her dragging myself to her side, shaking her lightly, without getting any kind of response, I checked and she still had pulsation, but wouldn t react to external stimulation damnation! Would her be catatonic? I then looked at Momiji, that began breaking furniture and punch the walls, seeing he had no more opponents and hadn t calmed down.
-Killllllllll! GRRRRR KILLLLLLLLLLLLLL! shouted Momiji, still without control.
-Momiji, you have to stop that! stood up with a lot of effort, despite the pains around the body and the atrocious on the knee, as the dark aura around him was becoming stronger, you have to stop! that was when he neared us, I grabbed him locking his arms with mine, passing them under his armpits and locking his neck remember! You are Midori Momiji! Ishikawa Saori s fianc e! I felt that at that moment his resistance lowered when I began crying don t you see that you are making her feel even guiltier for what happened here?
That was when the dark aura lost completely its strength and disappeared, being replaced by a tiny pinky aura, as soon as I let go of him I fell to the ground again and was promptly helped by him; I was about to call the royal authorities when the plebeians arrived, after informing them and prove I was a noble, we took the usually measures for a noble investigation and I requested a royal ambulance and two for carrying Momiji s siblings corpses; after around one hour we arrived at my residence and were taking straight to Enmie's nursery room; when we arrived there she saw my condition and hurrying preparations up asked:
-My Saint Meow Rick, what happened? Enmie pointed to the ambulance nurses in which bed to place me were you attacked? Which weapon was used, do we have more victims?
-Yes we were attacked Enmie I forced a smile the wounds were made by a solid iron ball, we have just one more victim, Saori his other siblings - I pointed to Momiji who had Saori in his arms didn t have the same luck -OH MY - Enmie became shocked and ordered Momiji to place her on the bed on the opposite side of mine what are her wounds asked Enmie while she began examining me with her light.
-If I am not wrong uugh - I replied on the exact moment Enmie was checking my broken knee she might be catatonic.
-I understood replied Enmie with a completely changed voice then I shall treat her first.
-Enmie my wounds - I asked taking her paws with my hand if taken longer to be treated are fatal?
-No she replied shaking her head you will just have a pain that will be bigger with the passage of time, as your knee will get even more swollen, however I didn t notice any wound that might immediately put your life in danger -Then go take care of Saori first and leave me here - I pointed to Momiji next as I am sure that the pain he is feeling now is much bigger than mine -I comprehend Richard - Enmie then looked me in the eyes and said as you were gentle, I shall apply sedative energies in you, soon you shall be sleeping and won t feel anything else, ok?
-Yes Enmie, thank you very much - touched her paw once more just ask Akira to come stay with me I know that the little one isn t very well it is just it doesn t please me to sleep without her company -Don t worry Richard replied Enmie looking towards the door I am sure that even before the sedatives begin working, she will be here, because she felt she was needed beside you Enmie then placed her paw over my should and applied the luminous relaxing rays.
-Alright Enmie, I trust in you - peace quickly invaded me and at each second it became harder to stay wake; moments before falling asleep I could see my little nekomimi entering the room with a very worried face and running beside me, the last thing I remember were her delicate little paws holding my hand.
