Impact Of A Soul To A Soul From A Soul

Hiroshi ran as fast as he could, using all his skills that he learned from sensei Takhero. He received word of the revenge upon him for capturing Nimasai… the notorious leader of a band of bandits called Yaseru. Yaseru has been plundering the nearby villages, taking all the possession of the villagers, taking hostages and even raping young girls.

As Hiroshi reach his village… he saw houses on fire, dead bodies lying around and he heard loud screaming. He hurried his steps into the village searching for these bandits causing all the havoc. As he turn by his house, towards the piece of land where his family grew some vegetables he saw Megumi. She was lying there naked as the bandits were laughing. Her battered body were smeared by the sand, blood and bruises. Megumi stole a glance at Hiroshi as she plunged the dagger he gave to her deep inside her… taking her life away almost immediately.

“Nooooo……..” screamed Hiroshi… as a tear rolled down from Megumi’s beautiful round eyes to her now lifeless cheek. He ran towards her body and dropped on his knees beside her, anger flows through his body like blood flowing through his veins.

The bandits were laughing while saying… “she was good…. hah hah hah! Now release Nimasai or you will join her in HELL!” They drew out their samurai blades pointing the tip at Hiroshi’s back. Hiroshi, still holding Megumi close to him, soaked in her dark red blood, clenched his fist in anger.

“You will all die at the mercy of my blade…” as Hiroshi got to his feet and slowly turned around. His fiery eyes and the expression etched on his face were of demonic possession. The bandit raised their swords to fend themselves. Hiroshi drew out his katana slowly, revealing a finely crafted blade. Then he said “you will all pay for your sins… aaarrrggghhhh!!”

Hiroshi ran towards the bandits wielding his blade as the bandits recollect their cowardly courage to defend themselves. The battle begun between Hiroshi and the hordes of bandits called Yaseru. The furious battle raged on for hours as Hiroshi slashed his way through the bodies of the bandits… dropping them one by one to the ground. The intensity of the situation grew thicker as the village is being destroyed by the bandits.

Hiroshi tried to save as many as possible, but there were too many of them and most of them were killed right before his eyes. After a grueling battle, Hiroshi dropped the last enemy as the dusk arrived complementing the fiery flames engulfing the village. Hiroshi was drained of all energy after the grueling battle. Hiroshi was covered with blood and wounds. His legs were wounded so badly that he could no longer stand. He fell to the ground on his knees.

Holding his katana, he used it as a walking stick, dragging his wounded body and soul across the village to where his beloved Megumi lied in the still of the time. As he forcefully dragged himself towards Megumi, his fiery eyes calms as tears welled up. As he reached the lifeless body of Megumi, tears rolled down from his eyes.

Hiroshi brushed his blood stained fingers against Megumi’s bruised face and through her hair…
Why did you have to suffer like this…
Why did you have to suffer for my doing…
Why is it so unfair that innocent people has to suffer for the wrong doings of bandit like them!
Why! Why! Why!
Hiroshi knelt properly in front of Megumi and gave a bow of respect to her, covering her with his shirt. Hiroshi held up his katana high in the air reflecting the oranges light from the setting sun.
I love you Megumi
I’m sorry Megumi, my love
I may not have been there always when you and I are alive
I will be with you always, together dead

With these words spoken as an oath, Hiroshi held his beautifully crafted katana towards himself and pushed the edge of the blade into his body. As the blade exits the lower back of his toned body. As he pulls it out again the cut was widened and he threw the blade aside. Leaning against Megumi, Hiroshi smiled and wrapped himself around her. With his dying breath Hiroshi said “we will be together… forever”

The setting sun basked it’s rays on the couple as though rejoicing in the everlasting unity of Hiroshi and Megumi. The flames engulfing the village seems to approve and danced happily throughout the night.
