One of my Stories Im working on. It lacks Plot once again by my teahcers words. >,<
Tangled Revolutions
Kyoto, Japan, a place where the buildings would lean against each other hoping to balance themselves out among the world. The street lights danced off into the distance as the nights sky shed its tears down to the world beneath its gaze. One of these drops of liquid splashed against a smooth white surface, of a beautiful blonde haired woman. The woman reached up whipping the fragment of liquid from her cheek to remove any suspicions that she was crying as well. Everything was complicated these days, she was running out of hiding places each day but even so she managed to get bits of the information she was searching for. The woman let out a soft sigh, hopefully no one would spot her in this ally way. If they did though, she would have no trouble dealing with them. She slid down the rough brick wall, hitting the ground, slumped over, and curved herself into a ball. The woman rested her head lightly on her knee caps but tried her best not to fall asleep. She was way too paranoid to close her eyes as thoughts filled her conscious with the ideas that’s she might be attacked. Perhaps even another freighting nightmare of her past and everything else that revolved around it. The woman decided the best way to stay awake was to stand and in doing so wobbled a bit. Her attempt failed, her legs gave into exhaustion causing her to hit the floor with a thud. The woman seemed some what confused; she wondered why she was so weak? Yes, she had her scratches here and there but her body never felt like it was breaking it two. The woman balled her hands up, angry that her body was beginning to fail on her, and the small realization of how her body came upon this great deal of stress.
“Damn him.” She muttered, summoning enough strength to slam her balled up hand into the brick wall. Her left hand uncurled itself laying flat against the surface. She would have stayed like that for hours if it had not been for the sudden sound of glass breaking gaining her full attention. The woman’s azure eyes narrowed, her battle instincts kicking in as in that moment she grabbed her black pistol from its case wrapped around her right leg and shifted her body upwards with new found strength at the intruder.
The intruder flinched slightly at the woman’s sudden acknowledgement of the person’s presence especially now that a weapon was pointed at this person’s torso. The woman gripped her gun tighter; unsure what kind of person she would be dealing with.
“Who are you and what do you want?” She sneered at the middle aged man, with chocolate brown hair with cobalt eyes that shown of the thirst of blood she had encountered many times before.
The woman knew that then and there this man was an assassin, hired to kill her just as all the others before. He towered over her in size but that didn’t matter she was the one with one of her precious weapons in hand. She also had a katana, but that was strapped around her waist and she could not pull it out at the time. Plus her gun suited her perfectly in this position; it was a great way to interrogate the ones you hate. The man chuckled at her, causing her to wonder what was going through his mind at the moment.
“Mikamura, Maruno.” He replied coldly, yet still chuckling a tad bit. He tried to inch close to her, she noticed making sure that he heard the sound of her gun click to make him halt. He did so putting his hands up immediately.
“Relax; I’m not going to harm you.” He told her, trying to seem disarming but she knew better, they all were the same after all.
“Not another move.” She warned, pointing the gun directly at his head. “Do me a favor Maruno…Drop the innocent act and tell me who sent you to kill me? The government perhaps, that’s what I keep getting from them lately and please speak quickly before I lose my patience.” Maruno opened his mouth to speak but clamped it shut in an instant and just continued to stare at her at ease even though she had threatened him,
The woman huffed, jerked her right arm to the left and fired. A bullet whizzed past Maruno skinning his neck, drawing blood. The woman quickly reloaded and held her gun back at his head.
“Answer the question.” The woman warned again, she hated the fact that he wasn’t responding. She was a ticking time bomb and if he didn’t speak she would have just blown a bullet to his brain. A sudden grin spread across his face causing her curiosity to expand.
“You of all people should know by now that I’m not one of those petty government fools, Faith Tanaka. It’s your dear brother who called me upon this job.” The woman, who is now known to be Faith Tanaka, flinched at the mere thought of her brother. This action caused Faith to note that she had fell off guard in doing so and that wasn’t good at all. It was too late to fix the error, for he grabbed her arms with his left hand, holding them back. The force knocked her pistol to the floor and the next thing she knew his gun was now aimed directly into her face.
“Hah.” He breathed out at the struggling woman in his grip. “It seems that tables have turned, now its time for you to answer my questions.” Faith looked up at Maruno and smirked at him.
“Depends…What do you want to know?” She asked sweetly not showing any signs of anger.
“I’ve always wanted to know… What made you snap?” Faith raised an eyebrow at Maruno.
“What do you mean?”
“Don’t play dumb...Why did you kill your parents?”
“I-“He interrupted her before she could reply.
“No excuses, they were important to the Revolution. Your parents, Freya and Tomuron, were going to ease off the tensions in the Eastern Asian territory. They were going to present the ideas about the Restoration that they had planned out for peace.” His voice was very tense and he looked seriously angry with her.
Faith gulped, “I know! Damn would you let me talk, I know they were going to do that. I was glad to hear that those plans would at least help end this war that has continued to rage on for those frightening ten long years. Although with all this going on my brother wasn’t too pleased.”
“Lies, when they found their bodies, your brother confessed to your crimes and how you burned their documents. Your brother made a statement that he was concerned of you.” Faith huffed and began to burst into a fit of laughter before calming down to look back at Maruno.
“Concerned? Yeah right…You don’t get it yet, do you? My brother concerned…Hah! The only thing on his mind now is killing everyone who is trying to live in peace.” Maruno scoffed at Faith.
“How is he going to go around committing all these crimes without being seen? Your logic is illogical, you’re just lying to hide from the truth that you Faith Tanaka are a murderer!”
“No…It’s quite simple actually put the blame on me for killing our parents because with the government too busy on me…He can kill as many people as he wants without getting noticed.” Faith replied, with a tint of aggravation in her voice. Maruno shook his head in denial.
“You lie, your brother is an honored man who stood by your family and wanted to present the Restoration plans to Japan. Even if you were telling the truth, there’s no way you can get past me little girl.” Faith smiled at this challenge.
“Oh really, you think I can’t beat you? I do believe you’ve underestimated me.” She told him, in a playful voice, sending a painful blow to his groin with her right leg. His grip on her released as he fell on his knees.
In one swift blow, Faith reached for her katana, unsheathing it, and decapitating him. She resheathed her katana and tried her best to ignore the freshly painted walls around her. She began fishing her pistol out of the crimson river that now leaked out of Maruno’s severed neck. She shacked away the sticky substance off her pistol and than placed it back into its pouch on the right side of her slender body. With a quick sigh, Faith continued down the ally way always on the look out for Miko Tanaka, her dear sweet older brother…
