*Next day*
I had the day off today. So I decided to think somethings through. Meaning my life as the Masked Swordsman. Was it worth it? Or not? I couldn't ever come to the conclusion that it's wrong, but it isn't right either. I'm sure that even the detectives and cops of the world want to kill even if it's to destroy the fragments of an evil mind in which robs' one's life. Killing isn't exactly 'exciting', so why do people do it? The truth is, not all can know this misery. They wish to be different, right? They wish to stand out. Their desire take's over and begin with outbursts of anger, troubled times and the pain of despair. Killing takes these negative perceptions away. So it's good, or bad? Which way? My mind over flooded with panic and stress, was it right, or wrong? Good, or evil? I don't know anymore.
Even if I decide to stop, feelings that I won't surrender will reside in my heart. There's no escape. I can't suppress the other flowing urge, because my heart is very wanting. It tells me to shed the blood of others to heal myself. I've changed to the point that I can't be affected by fear, emptiness, grief, deceit and other negative perceptions like such. I don't feel solitude anymore, I now have Atsuko, but how long will I last? Memories of my dark and unforgivable past still lurk within. But the future could be just as bad. Or I could change things to help the world. I have to many choices I have to make, but I have to think about it right. Images of the day in the burning village flashed in my mind. I decided. Nothing will change, I'll stay the monster I am, no matter what the cost. The day moved on fast, I sat and planned my next moves. Ready to attack, when the time is right.
I grabbed my sword and hid it in my normal hiding place, ran down the stairs and into the city centre. I climbed to my favourite, and best view point from there. The roof of a building. I saw watching and looking for someone to kill. It was fairly easy since there was someone stood by the entrance of an allyway. I took my opportunity and ran to the back of the allyway. I kicked an empty gas can over to draw their attention to in here. They came, I done the same thing I did everytime I killed. Surprise attack, jump over wall and bam! Crime scene created. But it wasn't as easy as I expected. They fought back. I swung my sword around to eventually hit him. I did, but he managed to cause damage on me too. He had a knife. He stabbed me in the back (literally). It didn't really bother me, so I just covered it up and left it.
