Chapter 5

I could not believe my ears.

“It’s you, isn’t it?” I asked as I approached the figure.

“Me indeed!” And with a single motion the person in front of me, took away the swordsman’s mask.

“It’s been like for ever!” forgetting completely about the setting, I went to hug one of the most important persons in my life “…Koul..”, I let out the nickname I was calling my sister back when we were kids.

“Long time no see sis,” she claimed, hugging me back. “Heard ‘bout you. And guess what? I’ll help you. Let’s kick some asses, hun”

“Bitch please, I’m already into it,” I playfully state as I turn to the enemies.

She maybe two years younger, but no one can doubt her skills. With her on my side, I can finish an hour earlier.

That exact moment, a new pack of enemies, recently informed about our appearance, approached. I grinned. “Time to have some fun.”

I wasn’t going to use my sword. I would leave the swormanship to my partner. I had my hands and feet after all. –Not forget the powers I held-.

I ran straight to one of them, throwing a right down his stomach. As I heard him groan, I formed a smile and threw him down the ground. One gone, four to go.

With a double kick, I hit one of the other guys, sending him and the one behind him at the wall behind.

“That’s almost too easy,” I let out, when I saw a man coming closer.

“That’s because sweetheart, you’ve never fought with me.” His voice was stentorian.

“Oh yeah?” I was now walking towards him, “and what makes you that special?”

“This”

Pain. Blankness. Everything turned white, as his hand reached my belly, twisting it. At least that’s how I felt. I moaned in pain as I spat blood at the cold floor.

I hastily stood up, blinking my eyes a couple of times, trying to return to reality.

“Oh sweetie, are you okay? Need some help?” he inquired sarcastically, my cheeks turning red from annoyance.

I never answered as Iwent back to him, and punched him in his face.

Or I wanted to do so. Because he grasped my wrist, while I was standing like a fool, waiting for him to move.

“Humph… I am disappointed in you Kou… Didn’t those worms with wings teach you anything?” I felt his eyes piercing mine. I was stoned. Likewise, he simply threw me back, me landing flat on the ground.

“Ghouh, ghouh,” I coughed, blood running out of my mouth.

I was frozen after his words. I knew I’d be ‘famous’ after what I did, but I was not expecting such a behavior. He was like screaming into my face that I betrayed them, and that, made my ache more.

I grimaced. No. I was right. I knew I was. And now, I had to beat him; because I promised, because I want to protect the ones who really stood by me.

I tried to get up. I couldn’t; He was sitting on my lap. I frowned.

“Go away!” I screamed “Get the hell off of me”, I shouted nearly at the top of my lungs, as I pushed him behind, me laying on top of him.

I made my hands fists, as I stared on his puzzled eyes.

I hit him. Over and over again.

“G-Good”, he coughed. “That just proves my point. We were right to exile you. You don’t DESERVE to be a demon. No. So hit me. No- Kill me. Kill your own family, skunk”

I gasped. I took a look at my hands; blood-filled. That’s the blood of my family. The same blood that runs through MY veins. How am I doing this? It’s wrong! It’s-

A sharp pain on my cheek, halts my thoughts.

“K-Knife?” I utter, taken away by the pain, and depth of the scar.

“I should pierce it right though your heart, if you have one, you heartless bi-“

I had just grasped the knife, it being right up his neck.

I felt his throat stiffen, as I closed my eyes tightly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can’t hold back my sobers and tears any longer. And here I am, standing inside of the car, after succeeding on the mission.

…But…

I hug my knees, as I slide my head at the window beside me. My throat hurts. The pain is stinging. I… I can’t believe what happened.

‘You heartless bitch,’ the man’s words ran through my brain. I gulp. I can not believe this. How did I do it?

How did I…

...Show weakness…

I never killed him. I should have. I’m demon, tough and unforgiving. However I,…I simply stabbed his upper arm.

What is that? Did I pity him?

….No….

I pitied myself. I didn’t want to be a betrayer; to kill my own kind.

I didn’t want to be a heartless bitch.

….

I’m turning into an angel, more than one could imagine. “Ha,” I laugh, a laugh full of misery and tears.

            “…I’m not a demon anymore…,” I whisper to myself as I bite my downer lip. “…I’m nothing…”
