Best is yet Come

Chapter 8

Souji jumped in the air and shot several times towards Kazama who swiftly escaped every blow using his sword,he ran faster than a human could manage and punched the green eyed man in the stomach.
He grunted but aimed for his opponent head with the small knife that was hidden in his belt,he threw at him and jumped some meters away from him annoyed.
“This is too troublesome.”He muttered as he took one of the pills and easily dodged the flying knives that were almost ready to pass through his head,he grabbed several of them and sent them back at the blonde haired man who glared at him as a one of them hurt his left hand,he watched as blood fell from it,with widened eyes.
“How dare you?!You damn piece of shit!”He cursed as his eyes glare daggers at Souji who just smirked.
“What is that?Can’t stand seeing your own blood,you bastard?” He commented as Kazama charged at him almost blindly.
Souji avoided every blow with amazing ease and laughed loudly “Hahaha,you are so angry that you can’t even aim properly!”His eyes shined with confidence and that made his opponent even more pissed off!
He roared and he delivered a strong punch in the jaw,Souji almost lost his footing but easily found his balance again and grabbed his left hand and slammed him to the wall making him spit some blood.
A smirk appeared on his face as the red eyed man tried to escape his grasp,he bit his lip and punched the wall which got crashed by his fist,Souji took some steps back as the sword of his opponent missed his neck by an inch,but still sliced his cheek slightly.
He looked up to see the other man standing there with a bloody expression in his face,he licked some blood from his blade.
“Are you ready to die,you pathetic creature?”He said as he walked closer to the fallen man who didn’t even respond to his question.
That filled the gang leader with even more rage than before,he quickly sent a powerful kick on Souji’s chest who didn’t even have time to dodge it,he was thrown several meters away.
He wiped of the blood that was on his cheek and bit his lip as his worst enemy grabbed his hair and pushed him against the wall,he cried out in pain as blood fell from his mouth.
Kazama pressed his gun on the green eyed man’s head and chuckled “You finally see,how low,you are?You dodn’t even deserve to live,beg me for forgiveness and I may spare you!”He suggested his eyes filled with joy,he just loved to torture this boy.
Souji just smirked and whispered “Like hell,I will do that.” His chest  was hit with a lot of force and he gasped as he coughed up some blood.
“What did you say,you trash?”The annoyed man questioned him raising an eyebrow at him,no reply came from him “Answer me!”He shouted his voice filled with anger.
“I am not going to beg for my life,you damn bastard.I am not going to die here.I have dreams that I need to achieve.”A smirk appeared on his face as two emerald orbs glared  at him “And killing you is one of them.”He admitted as the other man looked at him with surprise written across his face and then all of sudden he laughed loudly.
“You are truly an idiot!Even the thought of you being able to kill me is just too stupid!Like I could die by someone like you!” Kazama commented amused by Souji’s words whose smirk just widened.
“You never know.”He muttered to himself, the other man was still laughing and didn’t notice the next attack.
With all the power that he could muster Souji head butted him and in his shock,he dropped the gun,the younger man grabbed it with ease and stood up.
Kazama looked at him with hate burning inside his eyes,he quickly took his sword out once again and was surprised when he heardthe familiar sound of metal clanging against each other.
In Souji’s hand was a long Katana,he didn’t know when his opponent managed find it but that didn’t matter.What was important was to just take the life of this lowly dog.
He took some steps forward slowly as the other man took two back,both of them were focused on each other’s blade,everyting was quiet.The tension could be cut by a knife.
Kazama decided to attack first,his sword missed Souji’s head as the two weapons clashed against each other.
With a loud battle cry Souji pushed him away and then with the back of his sword he tried to hit his enemy in vital point so he could slow down his movements,he succeeded and swiftly delivered a strong blow that the other man barely managed to dodge.
“Now,now~This is starting to get tiring.How about we end this one and for all?”Souji suggested,his emerald eyes shining as he walked closer to his enemy who had fallen on the ground by the strength of his thrust.
His enemy laughed “This isn’t done yet.” The sword user had reached him and he raised his word in the air.
“This is for the all suffering you caused me.For killing my family,my teacher and huting everyone I care about!!!!”He shouted out and delivered the final blow-or so he thought,what had he cut down was his nemesis left palm,he let out a pained cry as the sword met with his skin.
He managed to stand up and create some distance between them.
Souji chuckled with a mad glint inside his eyes “Think you can win with this kind of wound?You sure have a death wish.”He stated and then he heard him laugh back at him.
“Even if I die,I have caused you so much pain and that makes me happy!I enjoyed watching you suffer when you lost the ones that you loved the most!It was such an amazing feeling!”
Rage boiled inside Souji whose eyes turned red and hair from brown to snow white with inhuman speed smashed against the wall,his hand holding tightly his neck.
He gritted his teeth “You bastard!!!Just die already!”He exclaimed as he buried a small knife in his right arm,breathing became even more difficult for the blonde haired man,a smirk appeared on his face and he closed his eyes.
“I am not done yet.”He whispered and out of nowhere a figure appeared behind them,Souji turned around and saw a stoic girl with dark green eyes holding an unconscious one,his eyes widened in realization,he recognized her.
‘Chizuru!’He thought as the girl walked even closer.
“Now,my weapon,finish him off.”Kazama’s voice echoed in his ears as the girl leapt forward with a knife  in her hands,she threw Chizuru away from her and focused on her opponent,she threw several knives but he managed to get out of their range,he ran towards her and pressed his gun against her head.
“If you don’t want to die,stop at this moment.”He growled at her and she looked at him straight in the eyes,his orbs widened “It can’t be.”He whispered shocked.
A chuckle was heard “Oh yes.She is the last person from your family that is alive.Your sister Mitsuba.”He explained as Souji’s breathing became even more rapid.
“She can’t be!She is supposed to be dead!”He cried out as his head started spinning.
“O-Okita-san.”A voice called his name and he looked back to see Chizuru trying to walk towards him.
“You idiot!Stop!It’s dangerous!”He warned her and he didn’t notice that the other girl had escaped his grasp.
She was now pointing one of her small daggers at Chizuru’s neck,his breath hitched.
“Release her this moment!”Souji exclaimed but she didn’t move an inch.H
e bit his lip as Kazama ordered"Kill her."
“Mitsuba-san,I have been in your memories.Do you really want to follow the orders of the man that took you away from your family and made you suffer so much?” She asked and she looked at the young girl stunned by her words.
“Don’t listen to her!Just kill her!” Kazama’s voice rang in her ears as she looked at him.
She remembered all the pain she felt when he abused her and used her.
She slowly withdrew the blade from the girl’s neck,she hesitated.
“You know what to do Mitsuba-san.”Chizuru said encouraging her.The blade fell from her hands and clanged to the ground.
Souji ran to Chizuru’s side as fast he could “Stay beside me!” He said as he took a defensive position,she could change her mind at any second.
The older girl looked straight into his eyes and she felt a warm feeling “Is that you otouto?”She whispered,her voice now changed as moments of the times they spent together happily entered her mind.
“Nee-san.”Souji could only say as tears fell from her eyes,he hugged her tightly “I am sorry.”He apologized.
Then an explosion was heard,Kazama was standing up again and in his hands was a gun,ready to shoot at any moment.
“What a nice family reunion!That way I can kill you at the same time!That sound so magnificient!”He grinned like a mad man.
“Souji,go.”Mitsuba ordered her and her brother’s eyes widened “What?!There is no way,I can leave you!You can still be saved!”He pleaded her shock written in his face.
She held his hand inside her own “You already saved me.Now go.I will take care of him.”She smiled at him gently and he looked away as he took Chizuru who was still wounded and unable to walk in his arms,tears rolling on his cheeks “Thank you.”He whispered as she watched him disappearing in the shadows of the night.
She looked at Kazama with a grin “This is the end for both of us.”She said as she took out something from her pocket,she threw it in the air and a powerful explosion painted the sky in the color of fire.
Souji ran as fast as he could but he was slower because of Chizuru,he looked back to see a huge fire in the spot where his sister used to stand,he bit his lip and continued running.
At some point he fell to the ground and he coughed up some blood as his eyes lost completely that hint of red that was inside them.
“Okita-san!”Chizuru cried out as she looked at him concerned.
“I am alright.”He responded between the coughs as the liquid painted the ground bloody red,then his eyes slowly closed and everything faded to black.
