Kazekura 1

Damn I hate this place. Shadow city was a reminder of the dishonor that befell my family's name. I passed the streets as quietly as my anger would allow me and decided not to teleport to Takasaki's mansion.

It took me ten minutes to realize I had stopped at the base of the mountain where the mansion was erected. Why was I hesitant to go and kill this man? Was it fear? I laughed into the still wind as the thought crossed my mind.

I unsheathed my sword and carefully examined it. The blade shone in the afternoon light, as if it had never drawn blood. The hilt was black and was one word was carved onto it, "KILL"

Looking at those words I remembered why I wanted to kill Takasaki. For revenge. With that rage burning inside me, I jumped past the side of the mountain and reached its summit.

Two guards stood in front of me, wearing dresses on top of their armor. One had a spear and the other a sword. "Halt, no one is allowed past this point" said the one with the sword.

"I'm not no one," I replied in what I hoped was a cool guy voice and drew out my sword. "Very well, as you wish," said the guard with the sword. They started running at me with their weapons at the ready when an idea hit me.

"Wait," I screamed and the guards stopped in the tracks. "Before I kill you, may you introduce yourselves. It's getting very annoying to think of you as (the guards)." They both stared at me as if I was crazy.

Then they started attacking again( that's why I identify them according to the weapons). The one with the spear reached me first and began his attack. The spear glew light blue as he dabbed at my face.

I avoided all his attacks and knocked him back with the hilt of my sword. The guard with the sword jumped over my head and tried to cut off my head. I blocked the blade with my own and caught his leg.

When the guard with spear looked up, I had my sword at the throat of his partner. "Stay out of my way or he dies," I told him and he just laughed. "Frost spear, Ice barrage" he enchanted and ice spears flew straight at me.

Using the body of the guard with a sword as cover, I teleported behind the guard with the spear. "Your blood is on your hands.l, " I said with a whisper behind his ear. Then his head was disconnected from his body.

I stood over the bodies of the guards I had just killed. The one with sword was disfigured as holes covered his whole body from head to toe. The other guard had blood coming out of his neck as there was on head.

My sword glew red and I knew what was happening. The blood of the guard was being absorbed. Its' essence was being replicated into the blade. But the blood wasn't enough. It craved more.

I walked to the other guard and looked down at his body. Then I plunged my sword right into his abdomen, letting the blade have what it wanted. When that was done, I turned to face the door that would me to my prey.
