Reborn

NIKO (2)

Sakura sneezed a lot which made Aol worried.

''Sakura are you fine? Have you caught a cold? Why don't you go back home?'' Aol chattered.

''It's nothing, just some insignificant people cursing me behind my back, Sakura sneered as she had a gist of who cursed her but didn't tell Aol.

''So............. Sakura are you more powerful than sect leader Niko?" Aol questioned Sakura

''Of course! I am two levels above that arrogant and cold lass," Sakura snorted.

''Then we absolutely don't have to fear him snatching the flower from you, right?'' Aol said happily.

''No not at all, but in fact I am waiting for him to snatch the flower, Sakura replied giving a devilish aura to all those around her.

Aol gulped down a little water after seeing Sakura 's devilish expression. Why do I feel someone is going to be slaughtered by Sakura, Aol thought?

Sakura give back the Blood Yaksha and accept your death!'', Niko said appearing a few steps behind her. Aol got startled by his sudden appearance and hid behind Sakura. Sakura remained calm, like a storm coming after the calmness of the ocean.

''You arrived at the right time. Now I give you two options. Either turn back and forget about the Blood Yaksha and my death or I will defeat you and destroy your meridians," Sakura said cruelly.

''Woman! You are messing with the wrong person, you are a slut who only knows to flirt with other men even when you are engaged,'' Niko insulted her.

''Do you think that with this face I can seduce anyone! I am obviously framed. Does your organization even conduct proper analysis on the target or are all of your men all brawls and no brains?" Sakura haughtily replied back.

Sakura had seen appearances of all the assassins that were sent to kill her and they were indeed handsome. Niko was surprised by her words and realized two things. This woman knew his identity, that only a handful were aware of. Secondly, he had been cheated by the Emperor and she was wrongly accused. Sakura was innocent.

''Well I am sorry for the misunderstanding, but I have to obtain the Blood Yaksha even if I have to kill for it,'' Niko said staring into Sakura 's eyes. This dude is damn serious, but only inviting a fate worse than death to himself, Sakura thought.

For a world where martial arts were top priority, a martial artist with broken meridians will surely suffer a fate worse than death. They would be ridiculed wherever they went and be a burden to their sect and families.
