Love is War

Chapter 1

“Miss Nova, are you okay?” Alexis checked on me. Alexis is my trusted right hand and since we were a child, she was there by my side. We trained together and in every fight we are always inseparable except for my greedy reason, which is defeating the Shinigami on one on one fight. But every time I can’t break through to his schemes. His intelligence is one of the most notable qualities beside his gun accuracy. If I can just breakthrough, not all of his plans, but just one and I can ensure my victory over that guy. Just one.

“Yes, nothing hurts,” I answered her and still she continues to clean my wounds that I received from that fight with the puny ninja.

“You are obsessing again to that Shinigami,” she said and I was totally caught off guard on that comment so I stared at her while my eyes are widened because of shock.

“Obsessing?” I exclaimed and laugh at her. “It’s my job to defeat that guy,” I said to her.

“Or should I say that it is your pride that lets you to obsess with that guy?” she said to me and I started to feel annoyed.

“Just leave him be,” I said with frustration in my voice.

“See I am correct,” she said. This girl really knows how to tick me off; if you are an enemy of mine I think that your neck is already twisted. I did not reply to her remark and just leave her be treating my wounds. She carefully not to hurt me and later on she finished cleaning it. She cleaned her things up and quietly sat beside me. Many minutes passed and we finally reached our mansion. In this country the authority had no power over us and every time that they catch they just let go of me easily.

Order is nowhere to be found in this place, and outlaws are everywhere and the Yoshidas, our enemy and my family are part of the top in the pyramid. We rule everything here and even the president can’t do anything to us. In other words the chains that bind the society, the law cannot restrict us. We are basically free ravens in the sky.

Money and power drives us to fight. That is our family motto. Illegal shipment of guns and other high tech products that can be sold to prestigious companies in this country for a high price, and at first our competition with the Yoshidas are not a threat but one time a man in a black hood gave us a message that they are plotting to take us down so that they are the only ones on the top.

Then soon the battle for power finally began turf wars which I call them happened everywhere. I have no problems with these because it is fun. Fighting is fun. I can finally make use of my long term training and my abilities then soon I received the nickname “berserker” and other called me “demon” before they died below my feet. The government officials are too boring because they always avoid fighting us. And then I met him. My one and only rival. Shinigami.

Ever since our encounter, I trained harder than before to defeat him but every time he always outwit me and escape and I call that a draw. Because one of us will not be a winner until one of us dies. I can say that I will honourably accept my defeat if ever that moment would come. But prideful ass would not let that thoughts to manifest in my mind, instead I always imagine his face begging for his life. His cold and lifeless eyes.

“We’re here,” Alexis announced and my thoughts were cut off. I get out of the car while the butlers carried my things to my room. I need to do 500 push ups and 1000 sit ups for another draw today. I also want to try and train new moves to defeat that ninja. I am embarrassed to myself that I let that guy easily defeats me. I have to train with smokes so I can cover up with that weakness of mine. I should not have any weaknesses. I should be perfect war machine.

“Oh my sweet little daughter,” oh here he comes. My dad, William Smith, he always act like this when he see me or my older sister.

“Come one dad!” I groaned at him. “I am not a little girl anymore!” I shouted.

“Oh no baby girl you may be tainted with blood but it will not change the fact that you are still my little princess,” he softly said and the cringe suddenly crawled into my skin.

“Stop please,” I complained and covered my ears and hurried into my room.

“Babied again?” Alexis said.

“Stop, don’t add fuel to the fire,” I said at her. “Oh, after I change into my training outfit the training equipment must be ready,” I ordered her and i continue to get my dirty clothes off to my body.

“Okay,” she cheaply responded to me and quick she got out of my sight, so what will I wear. I grabbed my gym clothes and proceed to wear it. Then I went to the training room where Alexis is patiently waiting for me.

“Is there a smoke option?” I asked her. This training room is designed to project a real battlefield and with the help of advance technology, I feel that I am really in a battlefield.

“Yes,” she cheaply said and walk forward to the control area. She pushed some buttons and I saw the countdown before the projection start. 10 seconds to enter the zone is enough. I breathed in deeply and I feel my muscle stiffening and my nerves showing into my skin. The smoke suddenly came out in every corner of this room and I started to fight the attacking dummies inside the smoke, but I was easily defeated and suffocated inside the smoke. Alexis quickly drag me outside.

She helps me to get back to my feet and I cough continuously because of the smoke. How can I overcome this challenge? I need to defeat that guy.
