"Ahh, Looks like a hot bath?" Darkness voiced, standing on the rock as he stared down into the small lake.

It was evening and he was currently in a small town somewhere in the Riojas Kingdom.

After he received a loss from Yuri, he had been taking shelter on the small island there, and since no one lived there, it was the perfect place for him to stay.

"Weeee!"

Darkness jumped inside the water with a smile on his face, causing a huge splash when he made contact with the water.

A sigh escaped his mouth as he rested his back on the rock and enjoyed the calming sensation of the water.

[Why not destroy the kingdom instead?]

Yuri's words suddenly occurred to him, Darkness stared up at the sky and immediately gave out another sigh.

'Why didn't I think of that?' He muttered, "Damn, that Kingdom and its people.. what was the name again.. Gi.. Nah, I can't remember".

"Now I'm starving just thinking about them again.. maybe I should go kill some village or something, that always cheers me up." Darkness said before standing up from the water.

He was about to move out when he suddenly noticed something strange. From the woods came thick dark mist that was gradually covering the area and making it hard to see.

"Who's there?~" Darkness sang, his left hand slowly morphing into a spinning razor blade.

He kept looking around, suspicious of every corner as the mist grew thicker by the second.

"You took two innocent lives but somehow have the nerve to have a bath."

Hearing the voice behind him, Darkness leaped back, jumping away from the water to gain some space away from the person behind him.

After landing on the ground, Darkness looked in front of him to see Sato walking inside the water and heading toward him.

"Attacking a guy when he's taking a bath? So not cool!" Darkness charged toward Sato, the blades on his hand spinning.

But when he got close to attack, Sato quickly formed a sword and sliced off Darkness's arm before holding his head while he was still in mid-air.

"I wasn't done talking." Sato asserted, slapping Darkness down to the ground with a boom following right after.

Darkness's body went plastered on the ground, with his left hand somewhere in the woods while he was busy holding his severed arm, trying to stop the blood rush.

Sato bent, holding Darkness by the hair before lifting him with it, "Tell me, how exactly did you kill them?" He asked.

"Hahaha!" Darkness suddenly started laughing, "Chill, I already told you I..".

Before Darkness could complete his words, Sato shoved his hand into his mouth and pulled out his tongue.

Darkness screamed in pain, watching as Sato held his jiggling tongue in his finger. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he tried to feel the missing tongue in his mouth.

"Oh?" Sato voiced, looking at the dark sand spreading from his wrist and heading toward his shoulder.please visit

"Is this how you killed her?" Sato raised another question, his eyes dead set on Darkness.

<< This is the same disease that was inflicted on Elena.. it's a very tricky and powerful poison>>

"Ahhh, she was killed by this.. Self-heal!" Sato voiced out, his hand healing up and the sand pouring to the ground.

historical

With his hand in mouth and covered in blood, Darkness' eyes opened in shock, wondering how Sato was able to heal himself from the poison.

Darkness used his leg to push himself away from Sato before landing on his knees after doing a one hand flip.

He was panting heavily with a pale look on his face, 'How does this guy keep throwing me off.. doesn't matter, this time I'll kill him for sure'.

Darkness positioned his hand to the back, leaving his arm to turn into another weapon. But before he could even think of using it, his hand fell to the ground.

Sato sent a sharp air wave that sliced off Darkness's second hand. Blood Squirted from his hand as he fell to the ground screaming in pain.

'Hey.. you've proven your point, you're stronger than me.. so please leave me.' Darkness begged but with a forced smile on his face.

Sato suddenly started moving closer, carrying the same evil look on his face as the sword he was holding scraped against the ground.

Darkness' fear grew the closer Sato got and without any warning, Sato used the sword to cut off one of Darkness's legs.

Tears rolled down Darkness's eyes as he tried to fight the pain. Again, without a single word, Sato sliced off Darkness's second leg, leaving him to look like a terrified doll on the ground.

'No way, am I going to die like this?... Not yet.. I haven't gotten my revenge on the kingdom yet.. damn it.. damn it .. damn it..'.

Sato's sword went straight into Darkness's neck, severing it from his shoulder as laid in his own pool of blood.

Sato fell to his knees, his eyes focused on Darkness dismantled before he looked to the sky and gave out a raging scream.

Back at the village, everyone was on edge about the incident, mostly Yuri who was seated on the floor inside Sato's room.

She had been mopping ever since Sato left, she couldn't get the image of Sato's angry expression before he left.

"I shouldn't have kept it a secret..what if he stays mad at me forever.. I can't stand the thought of that." Yuri muttered with her head buried on the bed.

Paa!

The door suddenly sprung open and at the entrance stood Divanchi and Delta.

"Yuri?! What the hell happened here? Where is master?" Divanchi stormed inside the room and stood in front of Yuri.

"Where have you been?".

"At the Royal Selection.. where Master is supposed to be.. but I couldn't find him away.. what's going on?" Divanchi asked, trying to fill her curious mind.

"Do you remember when you warned me about how fragile master's heart is?... I just understood what you meant.. we may never see the master we knew".
