Story - Shadowblade
I’m in trouble, thought Kenji, but that wasn’t anything new – you get used to trouble when you’re the Japanese Mafia’s most notorious hired killer. Kenji retreated back into the shadows and unsheathed his katana, the katana that has earned him the respected name ‘Shadowblade’ among his peers. The reason for this was twofold: before a kill he would blacken his blade with the smoke from a candle to prevent the brightness of the steel alerting his victim. The other reason was the dexterity with which he wielded it – none had gone against him and lived to tell about it.He voided his mind and calmed his thoughts, preparing for the onslaught that was to come. Which he knew would come, because Kenji had taken the wrong assignment, killed the wrong person. He had been commissioned a job to kill a powerful enemy of the Yakuza, but this powerful enemy had had powerful friends, and now they demanded payback – in blood. There was now a $2,000,000 reward for anyone who brought these powerful friends his head, and a family that been holding a grudge against him for far too long now had decided to
The remaining two warriors attacked in a panic, and Kenji parried their desperate, undisciplined thrusts before thrusting the ‘borrowed’ sword between the ribs of one, who cried out briefly before the sword found his heart, and he crumpled, his ribs trapping the blade and wrenching it out of Kenji’s hand. He took one last look at the bodies and sighed, “All in the job description” he thought to himself, then he turned his back on them and went home. He would be facing another threat just like them tomorrow. Such was the duty of the Yakuza’s hired killer.
