In the world of Ukiyo, Everyone is running from something...


Excerpt:

He eyed her suspiciously before his eyes went wide with worry. "Why are you defending this... this... MURDERER!" He shouted, making Kenji flinch a little at the sound. Kenji had never said it out loud to himself because he had managed to trick himself into thinking that killing someone who deserved it wasn't murder. But hearing it said out loud he was forced to realize the truth in his actions. 

The girl frowned slightly and let her gaze fall to the ground as if searching for an answer. When she looked up at him she held a look of resolve that was unmatched. "Thanks for escorting me here but I think you should leave now." She said her voice was unmoving and emotionless. 

"And leave you here with this hired blade?! Not a chance!" He replied. 

The air grew tense as the group watched the interaction unfold. The girl stepped back and a light blue almost white magical circle opened up behind her with all types of detailing and four swords each pointing in towards the middle and the hilts pointing North, east, south and west.  He would have been impressed if he wasn't so on edge. "Sebastian... please. I won't say it again. Just please." She pleaded. 

For a moment Kenji thought the man would refuse but he lowered his weapon yet still looked upon her with stern eyes. "Fallon this man is a criminal... and currently wanted. If you are running around with him that's aiding and you'll be considered a criminal as well. Think about this please."

It didn't take her long before she replied. "Well if he can help me find my father then I'll gladly be called a criminal."

He sighed and sheathed his weapon. "Then I must do my job the next time we meet."

"I'm sure you will. Goodbye Sebastian. And thanks for all your help." She said, he only nodded his head and turned to leave. Kenji released a breath he had Been unaware he was holding and sheathed his katana again.

Dark irises of the richest andesite meet mine, half-lidded gaze suddenly widening to silently showcase his own surprise. His hand is rough to the touch, just as I had presumed--calloused palm grazing over my skin so agonizingly slow. The feeling is coarse and his voice meets my ears in the same grainy manner, volume dropping to barely above a whisper when those sable brows furrow into a more annoyed expression. "Caught you." The man bites out, water trickling down his soaked figure and filling my senses with that lovely petrichor. 'Oh, fuck..' • • She had been perfectly fine within her solitude.

"W-What was that..." I muttered to myself in the silent alley which was filled with such an aura that made it even difficult to breathe. There was a sudden commotion behind me and I could hear some heavy breathing right on my neck. I-I'm hallucinating... "I-It isn't the 'joker', right? Nah. That's most probably a dirty doing of some politicians... There isn't any c-criminal with that meaningless name, right...?" I whispered. "What if he's real, babygirl?" My breath hitched right at the moment when I felt soft but cold lips on my shoulder, pecking it tenderly. rather possessively... I was breathless. "I asked you. What if he's a real criminal, just standing behind you with a knife, hm baby? What're you gonna do then, huh? Run? Why don't you try it then?" My body shook hard when he spoke with his raspy voice which was followed by his sinister laugh. The next thing I knew was that I fainted in the arms of a complete stranger. "Right there, baby.

He smiled. The devil himself couldn't have crafted a more wicked grin. "What do you say we play a game, little Reaper?" I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher his intentions. "What kind of game?" His grin widened, showing the tips of his fangs. I watched the prince curiously as he strode over to his bag. With a swift motion, he withdrew a bow and a quiver of arrows, flinging them at my feet without so much as a second glance. I furrowed my eyebrows, casting him a look of uncertainty. That sinister grin stayed plastered upon his lips as he said, "Run." *** I, Skyla Ashforth, am what some might call a "sociopath." It was a title that fit. Why shouldn't I embrace it? I am a vampire slayer, a Reaper of bloodsuckers, and an exceptionally good one, if I do say so myself. Yes, being a sociopath has its perks; I could manipulate and deceive with the best of them. So, when captured by the notorious Red Prince, I embraced the challenge of manipulating my freedom. Pierce Darcee, was a sadistic vampire with a God complex. The fool actually believed he could break me. Little did he know, I was the kind of Reaper who would dance through a battlefield, whistling a merry tune as I twirled my braids. I relished the challenge of manipulating his oversized ego, planning to stab that rotting, blackened heart of his with a venom-laced dagger. I crafted a scheme so delightful, so intricate, that I couldn't help but salivate at the prospect of victory. It was foolproof, or so my mind believed. But then... then there was that pull. That unexpected, unwelcome spark that ignited something within me. Feelings, of all things! Now, that was a complication. Disgusting, messy feelings that could very well lead to my destruction. Or his. It was a dangerous game we played, but then again, the most thrilling ones usually are. *Rated M for Murder, Mayhem, and some profanity. Sorry but no smutty interludes. You've stumbled into a blood bath, not a bodice ripper.*

" You can't do this mission alone! I won't allow you to make reckless decisions based on your emotions, Via." Exhaling, I cross my arms around my waist and stare at him with frustration. "You can be mad all you'd like, it's not going to change my decision." Getting up from the black leather chair I walk towards the wooden door and go to push it open with my right hand until I hear him behind me. "Via, I'm serious. Listen to me, going alone is a suicide mission, I'll send someone experienced to go along with you when you're ready to leave." He exhales and sits down in his chair with his hand in his chin. I glance at him, my silver eyes burning a hole right through him as I huff and open the door all the way and exit his office. A dark alleyway creeps up in view as I sprint down the weathered cobblestone, leaving wet footprints as I dart into the small spot. The full moon beams down from the sky, illuminating the small buildings up against each other for support. The smell of rain and sea water infiltrate my nose as I breathe in heavily, exhaling as I remember that it's only half past 12 a.m. Slowing down to a walking speed, I glance around me and cover my face with my dampened hood and keep my eyes fixated on the sleek ground below me. My mission: to infiltrate the Six Eyed Serpent, an organization of the most wanted and criminally insane. The top 4 leaders of the group are identified by the creeping two headed snake symbol. And let me rephrase, this isn't just my mission, it's my death wish. A suicide mission. No one has ever faced any of the Six and lived to see the light of day. This is my story, about an experienced assassin going up against the most ruthless group of people the country as ever seen.

Two figures walked up to the house and stopped in front of the fence. Scarlett shuffled closer to the figures to be able to hear what they were saying. She didn't know who they were, but if they lived in that mansion they were probably rich. And if they were rich that meant they'd have money. Money to pay debts. She hid behind a large trashcan and spied on the figures. It was a boy and a girl; with the girl in a wheelchair. And luckily, she could hear their voices. 'I'm not sure about this, are you sure you're going to be okay?', the boy asked the girl. 'No,' she replied as she suspiciously scanned the area and sniffed her nose. 'There's someone out there,' she said eventually. The boy looked around, confused, and smiled. 'It's probably just a stray cat.' 'No,' the girl said again, 'I know this scent.' Scarlett tensed and held her breath. What did she meant when she said she knew that scent? The girl pushed her wheelchair away from the fence, away from the house and the boy obediently followed. 'I told you, it's probably nothing.' Scarlett hid her head behind the trashcan and took off her backpack. There she reached for her collapsible sword. It slowly started to rain and Scarlett cursed silently to herself. This would blur her hearing senses. She could hear the girl approach as she was mumbling to herself. 'Where have I smelled this scent before? Where- Who?' Scarlett released her breath, closed her eyes and let the adrenaline kick in. She took off the cloth from her face. This girl had money, everything else didn't matter. She walked out of the shadows while the rain started pouring down on her. The boy and girl looked up at her in surprise and sharpened their attention. Her face wasn't too be seen, as she wore a large hood over her head and a cloth covering her face. Once she was close enough, she pulled out a small object that collapsed into a large sword and raised her chin challenging. 'I'm going to need your money.

'You knew, all this time, you knew and you never told me.' 'Yes,' he bowed his dark head, black hair dishevelled as it fell into his eyes that were beginning to shed their own tears. 'I wanted to protect you. I thought if you never knew then this could never happen. I'm so sorry, please forgive me?' 'There's nothing to forgive,' came her answer, fainter than before. They both knew she had only moments, Jinn could feel the warm stickiness of her blood soaking through the bunched up fabric he pressed tighter still to her wounded stomach, carefully trying to avoid pushing the knife in even further though almost hoping he could force the blood back in through sheer will. The girl's fingers twitched and he lowered his head, sheltering her fading gaze from the prying eyes of the few that remained to bear witness. His closer proximity allowed her to brush her cold fingers over his cheek, smearing her blood upon his smooth flesh. 'Don't be afraid, don't be afraid,' he murmured softly, a lovers caress for her ears only as he could feel the slowing of her heart, beat by beat. He pressed his face to hers, cheek against cheek in an attempt to warm her skin with his own. His lips brushed hers, catching her ragged and shallow breath. 'I'm not afraid,' she whispered, the determined tone affected by her seeping strength. 'I will wait for you, I swear. I'll meet you again in a good place,' he said and caught her smile with his lips, his black eyes open as he kissed her for the last time so that he caught the exact moment when her life-spark fluttered out and his heart shattered in a way he never knew it could.
