- Clip Four: Greenhouse Epiphany -

 

Chloe stood stock-still under the artificial rain in the greenhouse, uncaring of the cold water drenching his white-blond hair and expensive clothes. He was still trying to absorb the stunning conclusion of the duel.

From the corner of his eye, he absently noted Ken slowly slumping to the wet grass, shoulders sagging in relief. But the main portion of his attention remained on the wild bite rose he brought back from New York.

Aya Fujimiya remained kneeling on the muddy grass, leaning heavily against the sheathed length of his katana for support. Violet eyes stared warily at him from beneath a wet fall of red hair. Despite his bruised and battered physique, and the fact that his injuries should have hampered his movements, this exotic Japanese proved to be a force to be reckoned with.

If he was to be honest with himself, Chloe had thought the duel an easy win. After all, the redheaded Japanese was still injured and his mental stability was, well, somewhat off-kilter, to say the least. Aya, as he called himself, was most definitely not at his best.

And yet…

The move Aya had executed was nothing short of amazing, for a man as injured as he was. The look in his eyes as he went for the kill…Chloe realized he had seriously underestimated the man. However messed up he was, he was all crystallized focus and pure lethalness in battle.

Bite rose indeed.

So beautiful, so delicate and so strong…

The ghost of a smile lifted the corners of Chloe's finely sculptured lips.

The coming days were going to be interesting.
