The Cursed Chaos

The air was hot that night, blood was everywhere splattered like paint, the sight of dead bodies on each other, it was a massacre, a bloody massacre.

Noises of men were heard outside and each of them ran towards the room with blood everywhere their feets stomped heavily on the stairs as they run with shouts and they all clung to their weapons.

WHERE IS HE?!!!

Their voice though in anger but was lingered with fear, fear of being annihilated. Utahi wielding his katana with a double sharp edge, blood drops from his body as if he was sweating, the blood of the bodies he already massacred.

He's a man against many but won't back down, a deadly human who can kill without pity, he doesn't show regard for what he slays, his heart is cold and dark that he couldn't feel pain or grief, he has lost all his emotions for anything.

The men all at the door keep pounding on it intending to break it down, Utahi with the sense of this war didn't bulge, he wasn't bothered about the number of men behind the door, he has killed many and it seems like nothing to him anymore.

Not long the door went down everywhere was silent for a moment, the men saw the number of dead bodies on the floor and blood flowing from each body sent shivers to their spine, they were shocked to see that a man was able to bring such a kill.

"You monster!!!" The men cried.

There was a sense of fear among them, if a man was able to do such a massacre there's nothing that could stop him from doing the same again but seems like the anger of the men was unconditional they decided to do kill or get killed.

CHARGE!

Each person holding their weapon ran towards Utahi immediately everything went still as Utahi gripped his katana his eye went dark as night with no moon, a reddish dark tattoo ran from the right side of his neck down to his hands where he held his katana, all of this happened in microseconds, his killing intent was fast and dreadful as he cuts from the head of the men, blood keep flowing.

Nothing could stop him now, bodies keep falling as he makes his move towards them, he was fast as the speed of light as his katana goes through the body of each person, the rest of the men at door drew back as they view the massacre of their colleagues in seconds.

"What type of man is this?" They gasped in disbelief.

Utahi raised his katana and sliced the last two that still stood in his way, nobody was at his mercy, he doesn't keep them alive even when they manage to breathe when sliced, he will make sure he sent them to the afterlife.

" Who are you?" The first man who appears to be at the front of the door asked in fear, he was in a defensive position and ready for any attack but within him he knows that his opponent's attack can't be deflected so whatever he thinks he's doing is useless after seeing his colleagues fall at the blade of Utahi.

Who are you?!!, I ask again" The man said shaking in fear. Utahi was facing down, his katana glowing with blood as sweat and blood drops from his body, his stature was cold.

"I am Utahi," he said almost whispering it.

Before the men could say anything else, Utahi moved at his usual speed and sliced three men at the doorpost. The number of the men has reduced to five, the five scampered away in fear but they're not escaping because Utahi made sure of that.

"Move, move!" The men cried as they push themselves to get down the stairs, they knew the fight is already over and predicted cause they were doomed. Utahi followed suit but he was not running after them, he just watched them in mockery.

"Cowards," He said silently as he vanish in the dark stairway.

The men were still running through the spiral staircase each hoping that they'll escape from the demon in a human body, there were already stings of tears in their eyes because they are afraid to die.

The men managed to get down to the last floor but as soon as they ran for the door one of them tripped and fell.

"Lord Haru!, are you alright?" One of the men ran back to help him up.

"We better hurry" The rest beckons as they waited for their colleagues to get closer.

Immediately a presence was felt, a very fast body moved in the dim light, the men panicked.

" The door!, Get the door!!" One of them shouted.

The three men closer to the door rushed towards it, they were six inches from the door before the blade went through their bodies.

"Ugh" They gasped as blood pours from their mouth, some silence was observed when the three bodies fell, their blood was the only thing that could make it to the door as they dropped dead.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The younger man who's assisting the older one cried out bitterly.

"Hold yourself, young man, no tears are needed in a battle of men," Lord Haru said.

He looked at the dead bodies of his colleagues his eyes already bore a lot of tears but he held them back as they sting him, he wondered what type of being they were against but at this time he knew that nothing could be done now.

"Kimiyo, pull out your weapon and fight, for this is the last battle we would have, let's die honourably than die like cowards!" Lord Haru said as he pulled out his katana from its pouch and made a fighting position.

"Why don't you fight like a man Utahi! and stop hiding in the shadows," He said in a tremble.

A body appeared from the dark into the dim light, his curse oozing all over his body, the aura that he gave is beyond human knowledge.

"You coward!" Lord Haru ran towards him with his katana glowing in the dim light ready to strike Utahi he swung it with his strength making sure that the cut from the katana would be deadly but to his utmost shock he just swing right into the thin air.

"Huh!, Where did he go?!" He gasped looking frustrated, his palms are already wet and his body trembled greatly.

"Lord Haru!, Behind you!" The younger man exclaimed hoping to alert his master when he saw Utahi appear behind him in a flash but before Lord Haru could make a move a deadly strike came down on him cutting him into two from his abdomen, the only thing connecting his body was the intestine, blood poured out like a river.

"Lord! Haru!!!" The younger man could only scream as he watched the horrifying death of his master.

"Cowards" Utahi cursed under his breath.

The younger man couldn't do anything but run up the stairs falling and crying, he was in great despair but death was his only fate, he pushed open the nearest door he could see and ran inside, he was holding unto his weapon facing the door waiting for Utahi to make his way in but he got what he expected less as Utahi strike him from behind.

"Ahhhh" The young man winced in pain as he sprawled to the floor, he grabbed his weapon and staggered towards the door lying his back on it, he could see his blood as they flow from his back, his breath was heavy as his heart beats fast.

Utahi walked into the light with his long sharp double katana in his hands as he gripped them tightly, his killing intent was clear and can be seen, he's like a monster ready to devour at any time, the curse was hovering around his right hand.

The younger man knew he was no match for Utahi but at the point of his death he couldn't let Utahi leave unscathed.

"Ready to die?" Utahi asked softly.

The younger man smiled as blood drooled from his mouth, he can only use one skill taught by his master to tackle Utahi but he was not sure if he could make a hit.

"There's nothing worth trying," The younger man said under his breath as he stood up staggering holding his weapon and making a fight stance.

"I have one thing to say, are you ready to die, you monster!" The younger man ran towards Utahi welding his weapon and ready to strike.

"Hmph" Utahi smirked as he swing his katana making a legendary fighting stance with easy killing intent.

"Dragon technique devious strike!" The younger man said under his breath as he made his strike but Utahi deflected it.

"Fool" Utahi swung his katana with just one arm splitting the man from his shoulder down to his stomach diagonally. The man fell coughing out blood.

Immediately a blade hit Utahi from behind piercing his heart.

"Ugh!" Utahi spits out blood, he didn't see that blade coming.

"What kind of strike was that?" he thought.

The younger man laughed in midst of coughing out blood, he already look pale.

"That was the devious strike of the dragon technique, I thought you would see that coming but seems like fate has decided us to die here," the younger man said in laughter.

"You fool" Utahi went for a direct strike at his head splitting it open.

The dragon techniques were the most deadly techniques a katana wielder would have, it's a technique that requires much attention and skill when striking, it involves using two blades at the same time, the first blade is to deceive your opponent from noticing the second blade which is the main thing, the second blade does the killing and it comes from behind striking the opponent to death but the younger man didn't predict that the blade will strike the heart of Utahi.

Pain hovered around Utahi's heart, his body shuddered and he felt strange for the first time, he was struck at the vital organ, his heart was his only weak point but no man has ever reached close to strike it in all the battle he has encountered until this day.

"You fool" Utahi cursed the dead body as more shudder runs through him, he was losing consciousness and he knew it, his chaos curse was already dimming down he turned and looked at the dead body again.

"You must be an elite fighter," Utahi said this cause he knew it's only elite fighters could perform the dragon's devious technique.

Not long, noises of more men approached the building, Utahi knew that he won't last long fighting them.

"Cowards" Utahi cursed as his breaths became heavy, he struggled to make it to the nearest window of the room, he looked down and saw that the men were focused on coming through the door, none of them bothered if he was going to escape at all, that was his chance.

The noise of the men grew louder as they come near to the room where Utahi was, Utahi waited for them to show up so that it would be easy for him to escape with his damaged heart.

THERE HE IS!!!

Immediately he jumped through the window, although Utahi was wounded in his heart he made a safe and silent land like a bird. The men ran towards the window only to see Utahi standing on his feet.

"How could he survive the jump from this height," One of them said.

"Alert the others at the down floor immediately!" An older man seems to be the leader of the troop commander.

Utahi closed his damaged heart with his left hand and wielded his deadly katana in his right hand as he staggered toward the nearest building. The three men on the down floor rushed out immediately looking around hoping to see Utahi, each of them holding a katana, one of them sighted Utahi staggering towards a building that seems to be an infirmary where newborn babies are taken care of.

" I see him!" He alerted the others, they ran towards Utahi.

At that time Utahi's chaos curse had already dimmed down but his aura for killing hasn't gone, he gripped his katana and suddenly he's eye went dark but this time the curse ran all over his body, reddish dark soot-like substance circled him in a spiral manner, the tattoo moved like a writing from his right hand to all part of his upper body even his neck wasn't excluded.

The men before him trembled as they see the chaos curse all over him, they wondered how and where he got the strength to control such power, a power which can devour even the bearer but Utahi was a different human.

They were not backing down as they made their fighting stance, the stance of elite fighters.

"Foolish elites" Utahi bellowed as the chaos curse moved with its voice.

CHARGE!

The men ran towards Utahi each of them swinging their katana in different directions performing their killing techniques but Utahi wasn't in a human form any longer, so all their strikes were nothing to him as he deflected them, immediately he vanished into his chaos curse clustering everywhere, the chaos curse circled the men, it grew stronger as it covers them like smoke, and at that point Utahi went for his kill, he appeared Infront of the men, they were all closing their face cause the chaos curse was moving around them like a tornado making it hard for them to concentrate in the fight but they knew this was their end and the power is beyond them.

Utahi made a swift turning skill as he went for the first man, he was too fast for the man to defend himself, he cut through the man making his blood splatter everywhere because of the windy nature of the chaos curse, the other two panicked as their colleague falls in different slices.

"This is horrifying" One of them cried

The men at the building all came outside seeing the dark chaos curse in a tornado form creating a strong windy current that they even felt from their distance.

"What the heck is this power?" The older master said in disbelief.

"Lord sensei, our men are in there" One of the men informed.

"It's of no use, nothing can be done now, we will bury them in an honourable way," The older master said.

Utahi didn't stop, he went for the remaining two.

" Itsuki! Watch out!"

Before Itsuki could defend himself, Utahi has already made his strike, it was so fast and dreadful, his head fell from his body as more blood splattered around, the other man was already shaking in fear, he immediately dropped his katana and knelt before the monster in human form.

"Please spare my life, I have a family and I have to take care of them" The man pleaded.

"They will meet you in the afterlife," Utahi said coldly as he slice the man's head off his body.

Immediately after making that kill, Utahi's heart gave a strong beat, pain sorts through his body, he has overused the chaos curse and death was due.

"Ugh" He coughs more blood, the chaotic tornado begins to reduce till it was cleared.

Utahi held his heart, the willingness not to die was still lingering in him but he has no other option than to move over to the land of the dead, he kept struggling and staggering towards the infirmary.

"He's dying," One of the men said.

"After him!" The older master commanded.

Utahi knew that he won't last long and he can't fight any longer, he entered the infirmary and went into a quiet dim room, he was still staggering then his hand pushed something that made a loud clank, immediately cries of babies rose in the air, that was when he noticed that he was in the neonatal intensive care unit for babies, the cries of these babies made him remember the cries of those he have killed.

"Little miscreants," Utahi said struggling with his breath.

"Shut up!" Utahi cried out but that made it worse as the cries of babies increased, Utahi gripped his katana, suddenly the ward door opened as a young nurse ran in seeing a man soaked in blood with a katana also stained with blood, the sight of Utahi made the nurse freaked out.

"Security!" The nurse shouted but before she could make it to the door, the blade went through her cutting her spinal cord, blood spluttered around the room, the cries of the babies amped.

"You coward" Utahi cursed her still breathing heavily, he fell to his knees becoming unconscious, the cries of the babies begin to fade away slowly.

Not too long the men reached the infirmary, their noise was great.

"HE'S HERE, SEARCH FOR HIM!"

They spread out not minding it's an infirmary their feet stomped heavily on the floor.

Utahi heard the noise of the men but it was fading,

at that time something caught his sight, a baby with white hair staring at him and wasn't crying like the other ones, Utahi made it towards him and looked at the baby with a dying eye.

"You beautiful creature" He was amazed at the quietness of the baby even amid the uproar in the room.

"You must be a tough one," Utahi said as he cough more blood, he doesn't have much time left, he placed his hand on the baby.

"Chaos curse won't go extinct"

Immediately a reddish dark soot-like substance rose from his body and was moving into the baby. This time the baby let out a whimper.

"Live in chaos, young child" Utahi said almost whispering, then he fell to the ground and his body begin to grow pale as his heart stops beating, he let out a long smile.

"Long live chaos curse"

Then everything went silent.

Feet keep stomping on the floor of the infirmary.

WHERE IS HE?!

I SEE HIM!

One of the men alerted the others when he saw a dead body of a young nurse, the cries of the babies were heard as they come closer.

"He killed her," The older master said as he checked the body of the young lady and it was already cold. His heart begins to beat fast, his breath choked on him, his vex was unconditional and he felt sorry for the young nurse.

"You wicked soul, Utahi!" The old master shouted as he drew his katana.

"Where are you? Utahi!" He walked into the room with rage and fear, as he moved into the dim room he stumbled on another dead body.

"Ugh, How many will you kill Utahi!" He looked down but he couldn't make out the person on the floor due to the light in the room is dim.

"On the lights" The older master yelled.

When one of the men wants to on the light, another young nurse but this time she was with security appeared at the scene, she ran into the room.

"Don't on the lights, this room is filled with newborn babies and bright light will affect them" she said amidst fear

"All of you should move! Your hands above your head right now!" One of the security men said as he pulled out his gun before others followed suit.

"I said on the lights" The older master bellowed, he went closer to the door to on the light himself.

"Old man, please you have to back down, this is an infirmary, any harm to these babies will be blamed on you and your men" The security man informed.

"You don't know what you're up against, you have to let me do my work," The older master said but the security men weren't backing down on their words either then argument rose between them.

"All of you should pipe down" A cold voice commanded, a man walked in with a cigarette in his hands and a group of men in tuxedos followed suit.

" Who are you?, If I may ask" One of the security men asked.

"Detective Doylestown," The man said as he raised his ID.

" Lord Hiroshi, I appreciate the work you and your men have done lately, those that sacrifice their lives I shall honour them" The man bowed.

"On the light, I think Utahi must be hiding in there" The man continued.

Immediately the nurse switched on the light, the men gasped when they saw the dead body of Utahi near a baby stand. The gasps of the men were heard among the crying babies.

"Quiet down the babies, for we won't hang around much longer" The man motioned to the nurse. The nurse was trembling as she walked to each baby shushing them calmly.

The man looked at lord Hiroshi and it was written all over his face that he was perplexed, then he turned back to the body.

"To end is chaos power, lord Hiroshi you can take it from here, " The man said as he turn his back to leave.

Lord Hiroshi ordered his men to pick up the dead body of Utahi, he went closer to the spot where Utahi died and picked up Utahi's deadly weapon, he stared at it for some time and heaved, he turned to go then a baby chuckled, he looked at the baby with white hair and smiled then he walked away.

.................................

Detective Doylestown was looking washed up, his eyes went round to the papers and documents scattered on his table, he has plunged off his tie and let loose of his tuxedo suit, he was looking frustrated.

"Careless Utahi" He cursed as he kick his table once again making more arranged documents fall off the table scattering everywhere in the room.

Ring Ring

Detective Doylestown picked up the telephone from its stand.

"Hello, detective" The voice greeted from the other side of the phone.

Seems like Doylestown knew his caller, he fidgeted a little wondering how he was going to explain the failure of his mission.

"Hello, Detective Doylestown on the line, who am I speaking with," Doylestown said.

"Easy there detective, the Duke wants to speak with you," The voice said as it opt for a while. Doylestown held the telephone in his hand waiting to hear another disappointing voice, he knew things are already messed up.

"Detective Doylestown, are you still there?" An elderly voice asked as it adjusted itself.

"Hello Duke," Doylestown said, his hands were already wet, who knows what will come of him.

"Is it true?" The Duke asked clearing his throat.

"Of what?" Doylestown pretending as if he knew nothing about what the Duke is saying.

"You fool! You can't carry out a simple mission and now the greatest weapon we have accumulated has fallen because of your mistakes, you're a coward!" The Duke shouted.

Doylestown pulled the telephone out of his ear to avoid becoming deaf.

" I did everything you told me to do but that stupid Utahi made his option without heeding to mine and that's why he's dead," Doylestown said hoping he'd clear himself.

"Shut the fuck up! Detective" The Duke shouted again but this time it made him cough roughly. Doylestown was still on the phone, he was imagining the kind of rage the Duke would have against him, his attention was drawn back to the call when the Duke cleared his throat.

"Are the main targets down?" The Duke asked him.

"Only lord Haru but Lord Hiroshi still lives" Doylestown replied carefully.

"Damn you" The Duke cursed quietly, raising his pitch will do him no good.

"So what's the outcome of Utahi's chaos power?" The Duke asked again.

At this time Detective Doylestown kept mute for some time before he could reply.

"I think it's dead with him which means the chaos is now extinct" Doylestown replied, he was waiting for the Duke to say something but seems like he wasn't going to do that. Not long the Duke's voice sounded back again on the telephone roughly as usual.

"I want you to check up on any information that comes across about Utahi and also we need a new mercenary," The Duke said as his voice opts off from the call.

Doylestown dropped the telephone back in its stand, he laid back on his spinning chair and sighed.

" Utahi damn you"
