It was a cold night,a couple were walking hand in hand, in the other hand they seemed to be carrying something. Someone was watching them very closely from a distance, that someone who was observing them suddenly jumped in front of them and the girl got surprised and dropped what she was carrying. The boy also got a little surprised but was quick to take guard and took a defensive stance. The girl then saw a young boy (much younger than her) standing in front of her.

She heaved a sigh of relief and said to her friend,"Toby its just a poor kid ,why don't you give him something."

The young boy paid no heed to her words but said in a cold voice,"You thought you could just leave The King and go."

As soon as the girl heard the word "King" she shuddered with fright.

The young boy continued,"You were King's Personal Assassin and you suddenly left the job because of this human girl, King did not like that at all."


Toby on hearing all this said,"I don't want to go back to that life anymore and anything you say will not make go back."

The young boy said,"King didn't send me to bring you back, he sent me to show you his new Personal Assassin-Me."

Toby was holding a pair of Kendo Bamboo Swords he dropped one and held the other one tightly . The girl who was seeing all this came upto Toby and said,"Toby, you said you are not going to use them again."

Toby replied,"I promise I won't be hard on the boy."

"If you have finished talking can we start the fight.",said the young Assassin.

Toby said,"Hey kid we don't have to do this, you don't know about me and you are very young to become an Assassin, it's not the life you would want."

"Oh, I know that you use the Toxic Bamboo style of Kendo and your Kendo Swords are made of Bamboo sticks that can poison a person if they touch them."

Toby said,"Even after knowing this you want a fight."

The Assassin just nodded his head as if signaling - "Yes". Toby without wasting another moment sprang fast and swiftly attacking the boy with his bamboo stick and as Toby drew the sword down on the boy's head the bamboo stick struck the ground instead of boy. Toby was really surprised, he wondered - did he misjudge the position of the boy or did the boy move so fast that he dodged the attack. The boy had moved a few feet away from the place Toby was about to strike.

The young Assassin said," Human emotions have really made you slow Toby."

Toby was surprised on hearing the boy's words and he wondered if he was really fighting a boy.

The boy said," If you finished attacking it's my turn." As soon as he completed his sentence the young Assassin sprang forward and struck Toby directly in the torso(chest region) with two fingers and Toby fell down spurting blood from his mouth.

The young Assassin was walking away slowly and after taking a few steps he stopped and said,"No one has ever stood up again after taking a direct hit from me, you sure are interesting." and turned around, he saw Toby desperately trying to stand up and at last he stood up.

The girl who was watching all this with horror rushed to Toby's side and supported him and pleaded with the boy,"Please don't harm him anymore, we won't tell anybody about the King please leave us."

The young Assassin paid no attention to her words and was walking slowly towards the couple.

Seeing that words could not change the attitude of the boy she said,"If it is a fight you want, fight me." and picked up another Kendo sword.

"Killing you is not a part of my assignment but if you stand in the way you are also going to die.",said the Assassin coolly and while he was completing his sentence the girl rushed swiftly towards him and brought her sword down quickly, the Assassin dodged her but not perfectly and his arm protector broke with a crack and his hand showed a long black scar.

"She is much better than you Toby.",said the Assassin and came so fast towards her that her eyes could not catch his image, saying the words,"Crushing Turtle's Fist" The Assassin hit the forehead of the girl so hard that she went and hit Toby and both of them fell down. The girl died instantly and Toby was taking his last breaths.

In his last breath Toby said,"You don't know what you are doing, but one day you will realize how wrong you have been and that day you will be shattered, but at least tell me what name is."

The Assassin said, "You won't live long enough to remember my name anyway." and struck Toby's neck and Toby's Trachea got crushed and he too died.

Ravi woke up sweating profusely, it was not just a dream but a distant memory from somewhere in the back of his head, he wondered why he remembered it now and thought that reading about all that "Love" and human emotions caused that dream, then he saw the time - it was 3 in the morning so he went back to sleep.
