I woke up the next mourning with every intent to follow through with my plan. I stayed up all night hyping myself up so when the time came to die there would be know hesitation. Meditating to finish my mental preperations I suddenly heard a pounding on my Office door.
"Hawk! Are you in there!? This is important!!!" It was Jello. My eye brow rose wondering what could be so important. Letting him in he soon shared with me what was so Important. "Yesterday."his voice cracked worridly. "I got a message from white telling me to meet her at the Nemisis. When I went there I saw her engaged in a battle with Katsumata!" his eyes fell to the ground. "She was loosing..... I ran to the Haven to get you but you weren't there so I asked for Shotto's help. by the time we got back he was about to finish white and thats when Shotto stepped in." His eyes continued to trace te ground. "I...I... Ran! Like a coward! I didn't want to die!" I comfotted Jello thanking him for telling me this. He told me he didn't know the end results, I plan to find out for myself.
Going to the Nemisis I didn't find anyone there, or any sign that anyone had been there. I spotted a security camera and decided to take it to view what had happend with my own eyes. On the tape it showed white had ask Katsu to meet her at the Nemisis because she had something to tell him. Once he was there she challenged him to a spar telling him she had a job offer that required proof of her skill in combat, this was just a ploy. As the fight grew and White began to get wore down a conversation was made.
Katsumata -The swords behind her were slowly corroding into nothingness Katsumata looked at the knife and growled.-
"You give me far too little credit, do you really think you can beat me with the stab of a dagger?"
-Katsumata stood up and raised his halberd, this gave him speed and powerful momentum for a strike to her midsection. He also began to collect trace amounts of arsenic in the air...-
white_tiger_72 She tries to dodge this attack, but was stabbed. She gathers her strength and throws the knife at your heart. " I give you... alot of credit. I knew I.... had no chance at winning." She says between coughs. She steps back and pulls herself from the halberd blood dripping every where from the new wound in her stomach. She knew that if she did not die from a stab to the heart or decapatation. She would die of blood loss. She took on a fighting stance swaying.
Katsumata -The diamond knife pierced through his armor, but the point found no hear. Katsumata was without vital organ, his only biological feature was the ability to eat.-
"If you knew you did not have a chance..."
-He lunged forward again.-
"Then why did you decide to fight me?"
white_tiger_72 " Because..." She steped to the side. " If I didn't my friend would..." She Kicked out at your side and her stomach cries out in pain.
Katsumata -Because he was wearing steel armor, the kick did little. He slammed her in the side with the shaft.-
"Who?"
white_tiger_72 She falls over and starts to cough and she wipes her mouth and on her hand is blood. Her stomach wound starting to drain her. " My loyalty is only to Hawk."
Katsumata "Hmph. You shot him in the back did you not?"
-Katsumata placed his foot on her neck, but did not put his weight on it.-
"Or was that just a clever ploy to gain our trust?"
white_tiger_72 She starts to laugh, but it turns to a cough. " You bet it b*****d." She says not even wincing as he puts his foot to her neck. " My loyalty can not be bought. Or changed." She closes her eyes knowing she's dead.
Katsumata "Really. I am not sure if you comprehended what I stated when I said you would be going to my gullet. But I was being quite literal. I intend to eat you alive. That is unless you would consider breaking off your ties to Hawk and taking up an offer." white_tiger_72 She spits on your shoe."I'm only loyal to one man!"
At this time, like Jello said, Shotto showed up and tried to save white but he was killed. Luckily Akiko made it in time to revive Shotto before the monster could eat him. As for white, she was taken prisoner by Katsumata. I never cried so hard in my life. By trying to save my friends I put one endanger by making her believe the only way to save me was to sacrifice herself. Those word. "I'm only Loyal to one Man." would bring on an undying love for her like non other. But now... what was I to do now?Katsu had white and there location was a mystery... I was helplesss.
((Note from the Author:
White I know you try to make everyone believe that Jellowas "just following you" but c'mon, I know you called him and its ok that you did... oyu wouldn't be alive if you didn't.
Also I like to note that this was one of my favorite chapters and I was dying to get up to it. This signify's the climax of the Katsumata Saga and the beggining of Hawk and whites relationship that sadly wouldn't last too long, but thats for another chapter. Hope you enjoyed ^^))
