Loveless (Book 1) [Completed]

Chapter 89.

THE DARKNESS WITHIN HIM.

The Producer arrived at the set, finding the whole team busily bustling around. Standing in a corner, he assessed the work going on, when his eyes landed on Setsuka.

"Who is that girl?" He asked one of the crew members with genuine curiosity.

"Her name is Setsuka, Sir. She's Mr Heel's sister."

A frown creased on forehead of the Producer. Since when does Cain Heel have a sister? Looking at the Director, he decided to ask him about it at the first chance he'll get. As far as he knew, Cain Heel was only a character, and it was actually Ren Tsuruga portraying him.

"Ready?" The Director's commanding voice loudly echoed through the studio, as he asked both the actors after he was done explaining the scene to them. They nodded, and he swung his hand up motioning for the cameras. "Remember, just do what you did in the rehearsal."

"Scene three, take one!" The clapperboard was shot.

"And action!"

All activity and conversation ceased with each set of eyes now fixated on the two actors. The stage was set like they were in some sort of an abandoned warehouse, as there were intermodal containers in all four corners, fencing the place.

Murasame, with a metal bar in his hands, waited for BJ to come at him. However, Cain Heel remained as still as a statue. With his cloak pulled forward, his eyes were hidden.

Whispers began to form as they all wondered the same thing: why wasn't Cain starting the scene? However, no one had the courage to ask him.

Murasame's fist clenched. He doesn't even care about his job or the movie! The actor thought bitterly. We've all been bursting off our asses working for weeks on this project before he arrived, and he's not even taking it seriously!

That was it! His anger had already reached it's highest, and now it was overflowing. He couldn't stop himself anymore. Never underestimate the Japanese Yakuza, he thought.

Something changed on Murasame's face, and an unusual calm washed over him as he slowly moved forward. All of a sudden, he threw the metal bar at Cain, and it spun in the air. Before it could hit it's target, Cain moved forward to dodge the weapon about to fall on his head, and the other actor used this opportunity to throw a sucker punch at him from below before he could even realize what was going on, as his eyes were set above.

However, Murasame's plan did not go as intended, since Cain was somehow able to sense his punch even before he threw it. Which was odd considering his eyes never left the metal bar, which fell with a loud clank right where he had been standing a moment ago.

Having blocked the weapon from above, Cain's next move was to do to a backflip to get away from Murasame before his punch could reach him.

The movement was skilled as if he had had a lot of practice. It was also quick and silent, almost like a cat, or a shadow. Murasame approached him again with a kick.

Cain easily dodged it, and raised his right hand in which he was carrying BJ's dagger, in order to stab him. While he did, his lips stretched into a very unsettling and disturbing grin, as if he was having the time of his life.

Not a lot of people were able to see it, since most of his face was covered with his large bangs and his dark cloak, but in addition to Murasame, who felt his heart rate pick up as genuine fear coursed through him at the very sight of that psychotic smile, Kyoko also saw it very clearly.

And the moment she did, her arms dropped to her sides; a small gasp escaping from her parted lips and her brows creased into a partly scared and partly concerned frown.
