Absolute Loyalty

"Hello guys! Nice weather huh" Itami walked up to Jagun's tent where 2 men stood guard . When they noticed him they were surprised at first but their hands moved to their swords instantly. Guards exchanged glance with each other and one with horizontal cut scar on his nose asked with tone of threat

"Stop there! Who are you? What are you doing here this late?"

Itami stopped walking when the distance between them were about 4 meters then smiled "I heard you got some party going on , So i wanted to join you guys!"

"Is that damn bastard Guen spreading news to everyone? Just because he is cousin of Jagun he is doing whatever he wants... You there better scram this tent is Jagun's, if you want some fun better find and ask from Guen.. if Jagun comes back and finds you here i am afraid you will be dead before sunrise"

"Yes Guen is coming here with girl, he sent me first here to give you something, it should be around here.. " Itami took two big step towards the guy with scar, putting act of rummaging through his c.h.e.s.t area to find something with his left hand while placing his hand on his Katana handle . Noticing his actions other guard opened his mouth trying to warn his partner but it was already too late .

Itami had advantage of surprise and guard with scar were trying to look what he were going to give him so he had lowered his head to look at Itami's c.h.e.s.t area which made it lot easier for Itami to cut his throat with just a swing.

Guard put both of his hand trying to cover his throat while having look of both surprise and fear in his blood shot eyes he fell down and struggled to get breath while one of his hands trying to grab everything he could. Itami walked up to where he fell and pointed his sword down at guards fearful eye then he pushed it down while looking at other guard's eye.

In this short few seconds other guard managed to sweat lot, Itami could see sweat droplets on his nose and forehead. Not breaking eye contact he smiled devilishly while putting his feet on dead guards head and pulled back his sword from his eye sockets.

He raised his blood stained gory sword very slowly and pointed directly at guard who had look of panic in his eyes . Then itami looked very shocked at guard's behind then shouted Jagun! When guard turned his head back subconsciously Itami sped up towards him.

After realizing it was trick guard looked back at Itami and he put his all to block his attack . But because he had very little time to position himself correctly, his sword easily deflected by charging attack of Itami. Itami slashed at him again and again, both of them didn't have any time to change their sword angles so they just kept repeating same move for about 5 or 6 times .

Because guard were on defending he lost his stamina lot quicker than the one who is attacking from upward position.

After receiving Itami's attack on his left shoulder he grabbed sword with his left hand and kept it stuck inside his shoulder then gritting his teeth he slashed at Itami with his other hand. Itami couldn't move his sword because his sword were stuck in guard's shoulder so he just abandoned it and jumped to his right with fastest speed he could muster.

Because he were taken surprise by guard's desperate move he got cut around muscle area of his left hand. But thankfully it were not so deep so he stood up and looked at the guard . Guard looked in so much pain because sword in his left shoulder seemed to cut deep enough.. even if Itami leave him alone he would die.

Itami walked to dead guard's corpse and took his sword then slowly walked forward half dead guard who is barely standing, his eyes already starting to lose focus. Itami slowly walked towards him and with a shout he slashed at his neck then he threw away sword and pulled his Katana back from headless corpse of guard.

After swinging his katana to get rid of all gore from it he glanced at separated head then he turned away and walked towards tent. When he reached tent he cut it open with his katana then he entered tent cautiously. In the candle light he could see a n.a.k.e.d girl who seems to be around 14 to 16 year old girl .

They tied her hands and legs to four corners the bed tightly with rope seems to be made by horse tail. Girl had look of some one who had given up like she is only waiting for her death.. Itami hated this look , only Kael had similar look after my birth day ... , Itami shook his head to get rid of bad memories then sat on the bed near the girl .

He put his sword on his shoulder and asked with low voice "Do you want me end it for you?" , he looked at girl's eye to find some reaction but her eye just kept same as before with no fear or hope, there were only desperation. "Have you got nothing to live on?" She still didn't respond but he saw she is thinking about something because her eyes changed slowly from desperation to that of anger . "So you want revenge? Do you want me to kill the guy who did this to you?" but to his surprise girl shook her head then said "Not him" then her tone changed to full of hate and anger she continued "White devil" .

White devil? Ah yes if i remember right that is omega who hunted refugees. So did she lost someone to it? When Itami were thinking about this girl spoke again . "He didn't kill me.. he killed mother and Lily .. then ate them in front of me. I couldn't do anything , I attacked him but he didn't .. he left me alone after" her eyes turned red and tears dropped nonstop with , she had such bitter look that even devil may end up pitying her.

Itami got up and said "Well then lets make a deal"

Girl looked at him after taking little breath to calm herself she asked "Deal ?"

"Everything has price.. What will you offer to me for the dead of White devil?"

"I have no money.. i got nothing to offer you"

"You have got everything to offer me, Since you don't want rest of your life give it to me. Live for me and die for me. From the moment i slay this White devil everything of you will belong to me. What say you?"

Girl took deep breath in . Then with strong will she said "I agree"

"Then deal is made."
