Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Ice Angel ❯ Let The Battle Begin ( Chapter 9 )

From behind there were three loud claps. " Wow Boss, I really thought you would shoot him." Kaoru didn't even have to look to see who was there.

" What do you want Enishi?"

" Well last time I checked I was your assistant, so that means I assist you in battle, and I assist you at work." Faye honestly didn't know he was that loyal."
"Thank you but this is my battle." Enishi was about to reply until he saw Kenshin. "Battousia!" At that point Kenshin's eyes had completely turned gold. "Miss Kaoru why are you working with him?" Kaoru pointed at Enishi with her gun. "Who him? Kenshin, sweetheart, I don't work with him, he works for me. Where is Saitou?"

In a second smoke started to fill the room. " He's right here. Let's just get this done." Faye had confidence flowing through her. " Finally Stone Cold has arrived, for nothing because your life will end today." Saitou let her get away with that remark and walked to the other side of the room and took his stance and pointed his sword directly at Faye. Faye also took her stance and unsheathes her sword. She attacked him head on. To Saitou's surprise he barely blocked her attack. Taking a step back only to strike her below the knee but she backed up in time for him only to catch a few strands of her hair. The speed of the two was incredibly fast for only everyone but Yahiko to see. Only thing heard was the swords clashing together and the intense breathing of the two fighters. It was an even match but they all saw who had the advantage, but only by a little. Faye. Swinging her sword up she managed to make a nasty deep cut appear on his left arm. Jumping she attacked him from above but was blocked by Saitou's sword. Pulling out another sword that he was secretly hiding, a deep long wound appeared across Faye's stomach. At the last second Faye plunged her sword through Saitou's stomach. Faye backed up holding her wound and raised her hands. " We're getting no where with this. I say we fight, no weapons, just our body parts." " Are you insane?" Sano yelled. You know very well that Saitou is trained to fight with his body! With a smirk on his face Saitou nodded. " Fine by me Kamiyah." With her hands still in the air Faye slowly bent down and laid her weapon on the floor. Blood from her wound spilling from her stomach, her lips and eyelids tinged purple from losing so much blood. Saitou bruised all over dropped his swords and watch as they fell to the ground. Kenshin so badly wanted to finish this battle for Faye, but he knew she wouldn't let him interfere.

Saitou was first to attack using his fist to hit. Striking Faye in the face she slightly fell back but snapped back and kicked Saitou in the back making him fall to the ground. " Get up! I know that's not all the high rank officer's got." She took steps back to give him space to get up. He got up faster than she thought he would. Both fighters jumped in the air to strike. Saitou kicked Faye in the arm. While Faye strikes Saitou in his open wound. Both fell crashing to the ground. Kenshin in a second was going to be at Faye's side until Sano' arm stopped him. " Sano what are you doing?"

" Kenshin man I know you love her but you can't always fight her battles. She's fighting for something completely wrong because she's hurting and doesn't know how to handle it. But we can't make her decisions."

Both Faye and Saitou lying on the floor, in pain. Just because Sano said it was her battle doesn't mean he couldn't worry. She lost so much blood it would take a miracle for her to survive. Faye started twitching and rolled on her side trying to get up. She looked across the room only to see Saitou wasn't moving, she wasn't surprised she was only hit in the arm. She got up nearly slipping on the heel of her black boot. Her shoulder was in a weird position hanging. She used her good hand to put her arm back into its socket. Walking while limping blood trailed behind her, she picked up her sword and walked towards Saitou. Raising her sword up everyone was well aware of what she was going to do. " Die." Her sword was crashing towards him till something stopped her. " STOP!!" Her eyes turned to Sano. Her face purple, eyes lazy, bruises all over. " Come on Missy you're not a murderer, you don't kill that's not who you are. You're a loving caring person; don't let revenge destroy your beautiful life. You bring so much joy to the world; don't screw your life up over something like this. Kaoru we love you and no matter what you do we always will." Tears slowly came down Faye's face and she dropped her sword before passing out. Her fall was broke when Sano caught her. " Yahiko go get Megumi and Dr. Genzi." Picking Faye up fully he carried her to her room while Kenshin helped Saitou to his feet.
