Unarmed Child

Hao Xuan could hear every breath Rain took and feel every blood cell passing through his arteries. Killing him would be easier than snapping his fingers but this was neither the place nor the time.

'Some people are starting to come over. Two are still watching,' Ryuk reminded.

'I know, I remember!' Hao Xuan retorted while holding Rain's crazed gaze, 'But this motherfucker has no intention of backing off.'

Still he had to ask just to be sure.

"Do you give up?"

Rain's nostrils flared up, "NEVER! Kill me, that is the ONLY way I will stop!"

Hao Xuan's eyes darted left and right, picking up a couple of shadowy silhouettes from the corner of his eye that were watching from one of the castle windows.

'Doesn't look like they intended to intervene themselves.'

*Sigh*

"I don't want to kill you," Hao Xuan said while trying to pull his hand away but Rain held his wrist in place.

"You MUST! That is the honorable way, defeat means death!"
