It had been a stormy night when the sounds of weapons clanked into the air. As lightning flashed into the night sky, two silhouettes were revealed standing apart from each other. The two feuding figures moved with ease as they each unsheathed their weapons. Each eyed the other with pure hatred.
“Give it up, Tsuzuki, you’ll never win this battle. Just surrender now, and I might spare your family.”
“What you say cannot be true. I will protect my family with my life, even if it means losing mine!”
“Then you’ve just signed your death warrant.” The man swung his weapon at Tsuzuki with a fierce cry.
“Papa!” a little girl cried out in fear as the piercing sound of weapons clashing echoed throughout the night.
Lightning struck the sky, as more rain overflowed towards the ground. Thunder pierced the air, filling it with a deafening noise. The two figures continued to fight with no care about the harsh weather.
“Akari!” A woman grabbed hold of her daughter in a tight embrace, as the two feuding men charged at each other. “It’ll be all right, love, don’t worry,” she whispered in the little girl’s ears as she stroked her head reassuringly. But as she tried to calm the child, her voice shook and cracked. She was afraid.
“Die, Tsuzuki!” the man’s attacker cried out, swinging his double-edge sword at his opponent. “Why bother continuing to live? There is nothing left for you!”
Tsuzuki blocked the blow with his own sword, his hands shaking from the impact. Still, he kept his grip steady, focusing all his energy on his next swing. “Not before I seal you, Shadow!” he cried out, slashing his sword at the attacker. With masterful skill, Tsuzuki slashes across his attacker’s face, drawing blood. Crimson liquid splattered over him, and he winced. The blood burned.
His opponent gave a menacing growl and watched in fury as Tsuzuki swung his blade a second time. But this time, however, the Shadow blocked the sword with his own weapon, and sent it flying out of Tsuzuki’s grasp. “Now this is where I send your soul to hell,” it sneered, plunging his weapon down on his enemy.
“PAPA!”
The girl ran to her father’s aid, her hands outstretched in a desperate gesture to reach him. But it was no use. With eyes wide open to the horror before her, she could not look away.
It was too late. The enemy’s weapon plunged forcefully down against Tsuzuki’s heart. Killing him instantly. His blood stained the white dress his daughter had been wearing.
“NO!” the girl’s mother shrieked, throwing herself at her husband’s dead body. Tears burst from her eyes. Weeping, she grasped the body and held it up to her chest, cursing in the air.
Unaware of someone behind her, the Shadow brought his weapon down a second time, this time on the mother’s head. He laughed scornfully as he split her skull open wide, showering the small child with blood.
“MAMA!” the helpless girl cried out, as her mother’s blood splashed against her. But they were both dead, and their lifeless eyes merely gaped at her.
The girl trembled. She was alone now. She was afraid.
The Shadow glanced at the young girl crouched over her parents. Smiling, he walked over to her and lifted her chin towards him. Leaning over, he planted a small kiss on her lips and chuckled. “Don’t be sad. You will be joining them soon.” And he lifted his weapon a final time and gave a horrible laugh. “Die.”
