The dark guardian

KATSURO

-I'm so sorry for you boy you were brave and I'll remember you for the guts you had to face me , but this is called power difference. between your power and mine there is an abysmal difference— Jinsu cleaned the blood from his sword— that is why my sword responds to my power, showing you that it is stronger than yours. What do you think of my power? - She watched him as he bled to death - very well that's all, it's time to end this fight - he raised his sword to make the final attack, the one that would take James's life.

The situation was serious, the difference between the powers of James and Jinsu were remarkable, James was just learning to master the sword while Jinsu was born with a sword in his hand, it's only a matter of time for this to happen. I see that he has already given up, but I don't know, James never gives up on opponents no matter how strong they are.

"Are you ready to die?" Jinsu raised James's chin, he would cut off his head, he already knew that look and he would do it without hesitation.

—James, please get up!— I yelled at him—you have always shown that obstacles and withdrawal is not an option, come on, I know you can, with yourself, trust all your friends and your family.— Even so, he did not react, he was still prostrate on the ground.

Suddenly the color of his eyes returned, he took his sword again, an energy surrounded his sword making him look stronger and more fearsome.

-What the hell? I thought you were already damned dead— Jinsu was surprised—my sword pierced your chest and you can still get up—laughed—but now that I think about it, it would be a shame to have taken your head off in a defenseless way, so now fight with all your might, I want to have a little fun with you stupid boy.— I try to attack him in the same way.

" James!" I warned him, but he managed to dodge the attack hitting Jinsu on his arm. This was not the James he knew, he was different, his body had changed a bit, his energy was beginning to cover him like a kind of mist, that boy who had a smiling face had disappeared, this was someone without expressions, but he moved in a serene way. I could see Jinsu 's expression , I knew him and I could deduce that he was scared.

James positioned himself and used teleportation appearing just centimeters away from Jinsu , hitting him in the abdomen destroying part of his armor and making him bend, he didn't know how he had done it, but it was surprising with what speed he had attacked him.

—Who the hell are you?—I was panicked—a little while ago you were almost dead and now you have this power, I don't understand what's happening here, but you won't have any luck again on your next attack.

'll tell you what 's going on, you, you're just trash next to me, your movements are extremely slow compared to mine, you'll be my damned victim of shoddy vigilante" his voice was distorted, madness was blinding him. He wouldn't know if it was the product of his inner spirit dominating him or what?

"Damn conceited, you will pay dearly for trying to embarrass me, Nobody embarrasses Jinsu ." He took his sword and attacked him from the front, he used a large part of his power but James only used two fingers to stop the attack, he took Jinsu 's sword and killed him. catapulted with just the Aura of his power, it was like his gaze had some kind of spell.

"How come you get so much power?" Whatever is happening with you is unacceptable—he attacked him again, but to no avail, James was out of control. It started attacking Jinsu in many directions, vanishing in one place and appearing in another quickly leaving Jinsu like an unprotected child.

—this fight has come to an end—he grabbed Jinsu by the neck , he would cut off his head, he was so determined, you could tell in those colorless eyes, from one moment to another he had changed his appearance. He was nothing compared to the James she knew.

—James, don't do it, don't become a murderer, you 're not like that, you've already shown that you're stronger than him—I tried to reason with him, but he didn't hear anything, he just seemed to be someone possessed and without conscience, he raised his sword to cut his neck—no ...!— I yelled at him, but my teacher intervened stopping his attack and wounding James. It fell to the ground.

—I told you not to trust this boy, but it's the first thing you do Jinsu , it's a shame I had to intervene, otherwise you wouldn't be alive anymore—he scolded him, but the strange thing is that I couldn't see his movements , the master was an extremely powerful vigilante.

—It wasn't necessary, master, I had the situation under control, it was only a matter of time before I won the battle, please, you wouldn't have bothered—he took your hand—I feel ashamed that you made an effort when this was my duty.

—We know very well that it wasn't like that Jinsu , there are times when we must accept when an opponent is stronger than us, this boy, if I let time pass, I would have just killed you in front of my eyes.

I immediately vanished appearing next to James's body.

"How can they do this to an innocent boy?" I do not know both of them, first you Jinsu , we both grew up full of great values and swore to protect our clan from all the evil that lurked and as for you master, you have been my guide all my life and what I have learned will be I owe it to you, but you always told me to use my katanas for good and not evil. How can you explain what you just did to this guy? I felt so sad seeing James' body bleeding to death.

—I understand, Katsuro , if so, I will give him the last blow, thus ending his life, so we will prevent him from suffering—he drew his sword to kill him, my master's power was very different from Jinsu 's , only with his presence was he capable to do a lot of damage.

—it's not necessary—take your sword, it's me you're looking for, right? Okay , I'll go with you, I know our superiors will punish me for what I've done, but I take responsibility for everything, I don't regret what I did either.

"Let's go then" Jinsu took my arm taking me with them at a slow pace.

—Wait a minute—I approached James's body.— If you're still listening to me, I want to tell you not to worry about me , sooner or later I'll be back, but it's the best thing I can do right now to save your life, I'm sorry for getting you into everything. this and not having done my job well, what I wrote in your notebook was sincere James, take care, I hope to see you soon. —I caressed his hair. In the sky a portal opened that led to the underworld, our bodies began to ascend, as my gaze went up it was down, leaving a boy who little by little gained my trust and my affection.

JAMES

—Where am I?— I saw myself in a field full of flowers, the air that was breathed was pure and pleasant, the sky was as white as snow. In the distance I saw a kind of angel with his wings open playing a kind of celestial instrument, he looked quite relaxed.

"Who are you?" I wanted to know , approaching him, listening to his great melody, a melody that was good for me.

—I am the angel that protects this sacred field, this field is where all the great heroes rest, I suppose you are James—his voice was quality and emanated a peace that he had never felt.

"That's right," I agreed, "How do you know?"

—I understand, but let me tell you that it's not time for you to come to this field yet, there is a mission for you, which you must finish, so I will return you to your life—he smiled putting his hand on my head.

My body began to make a divine trip, I was flying in a tunnel full of colors, I could see the galaxies, the stars, I had never been drugged or something like that, but they had told me that there were certain things that made you feel that way, seeing colors and paranormal things.

 " Where the hell am I?" I opened my eyes and I was bandaged, I could still feel the pain in my body and the wounds that I had received in battle.

—I'm glad you're better, if I hadn't arrived soon you would have bled to death—the guy who had appeared that night at my house before going to look for Katsuro was in front of me .

" Who are you?" I frowned, "Why am I here?" I tried to get back up, but my body didn't react normally.

"Calm down James, I won't hurt you." I've seen you since before and I've watched all your battles, let me tell you that I didn't expect anything more from you .” He nodded.

I asked you a question and you didn't answer it.

- Okay , but relax. My name is, Lakai , I am a vigilante who adopted the body of a human, I was an old friend of Katsuro when we were in the underworld, but I made the decision to stay in this world, which by taking it, they excluded me from all of them , they treated me as a traitor and tried to assassinate me, the only thing that saved me was having taken this body camouflaging myself.

—Do you mean that's why they came for Katsuro ?— I wanted to know, I still didn't understand the things that were happening.

—That's right, the only difference between him and me is that he always remained in spirit, I hope that this will serve him when he is judged, otherwise he will die .

—Did you say he will die? —I was terrified to have heard—we have to save him! I can't let them hurt you.

—I knew you would say that, that's why before leaving here Katsuro left me the task of training you and taking care of you all this time. Oh, by the way I was also able to heal your friend Kai's wounds, he wasn't as hurt as you , but he was stubborn that I didn't help him and left.

—Then let's go now!— I rejoined again complaining of the pain.

—Do you really want to go like this?— I point out—your body is very injured, and you must also perfect your battle manner, you have a lot of power, but you don't know how to use it intelligently and to enter the underworld you must be in perfect condition. Otherwise you will only be easy prey for them, you saw perfectly how that other guy who was with Jinsu attacked you, right? Just like him there are many and stronger, let me teach you things you should learn and you will become stronger, just be patient. Don't worry, I'll also go with you, even if I have to lose the chance of life.— He smiled—Now keep resting, which is the best thing for your body.—He withdrew.
