RETURN OF THE DEAD AND THE FINAL BATTLE

Rajendra said, "That idiot finally betrayed and blew the gaff." Boss was utterly shocked, "Rajendra, but you were dead, how did this happen and why you killed him?" Rajendra next shot on Boss's both hands and then his leg. He then said mockingly, "You both trusted too much, there is no such Rajak Dhanrai, it was I all the way even my death was also my plan. You seemed to be shocked but Vinash isn't. So did my senior guess my identity?" He then turned towards me, "Right I said?" I replied, "Yeah, I did for sure, yesterday during I was playing Chess with Rishi, I asked him about the person who taught him Chess. He mentioned about Sunam who was his grandmother's brother, meaning your maternal uncle. He said after both his grandfathers were killed, his grandmother got sick. Then it was easy to get it." Rajendra then gave a villainous expression and said, "That child did let out the cat out of the bag or rather it was pulled out by you." I mocked him and said, "It would be the second option of your question." He then got a bit pissed, "Stop your jokes, and get ready and leave you gun out of this. I want to kill you the same way you killed Uncle Brijesh. It will be fight of swords." I again mocked him by saying, "Isn't it a bit biased against Sunam? He'll be sad surely." He got angrier, which I planned to do, to psychologically compelled to make him a wrong move. He then turned towards Boss and said, "So my dear boss, will you please watch the final battle- the end of Vinash the assassin."

He then threw out his own gun and pulled out a sword. He then ran towards me in a great speed to attack me. I had my Kodachi near my waist. When he got in my range, I used battōjutsu, (Battōjutsu is a Japanese quickdraw technique for a sword, when one press his blade's edge against the sheath and draws his sword, increasing the sword's swing by two to three times) and cancel his slash. During the clash he said, "Assassins are strengthened by their cold-heartedness but, you're no more as cold you used to be towards it, you're now weaker than me" saying that he kicked me hard, pushing me back. He then moved forward to chop me off, I ducked and kicked his ankle in a sliding momentum and then using the inertia to get up and slashed him. I drew the first blood even if the wound I gave was shallow. My attack let me wide open and he used that to his advantage, striking me right under the earlobe. I got away with devil's luck, he struck me with the blunt side of his sword. I just thought is it had been the sharp edge I would be over to another world. My earlobe bleed, I took a step back.

I then again sheathed my sword, getting ready for battōjutsu, this time a running one. He then ran towards, to finish me off with a single strike. I intend to do the same. When we struck each other, I placed my wrong foot forward during the battōjutsu increasing my range and striking him first, (During battōjutsu one places the leg of the opposite side forward to that of the side where the sword is sheathed, placing the wrong foot forward may give the greater advantage if hit, but there is a chance of cutting yourself during the draw.) Since I used the opposite side of the sword, the blunt edge, he survived but feeling dizzy after the hit. I then took out a small transmitter which was concealed in the hilt of my sword and called in the police, who were waiting outside. They came and arrested Rajendra. Rajendra slowly asked, "Why did I lose? For assassination we learnt, one who isn't cold-blooded cannot bring out their full potential, you said you are not the same as before, did you lie?" I replied him calmly, "No I didn't, what we learn was true but only for assassin not for regulars. People who always take so many lives let their heart grow cold, and forget the value of his own life. But the one who values his own life and also do not fear to die have the most chance of surviving in the battle against some cold assassin." He then said, "Well I had poisoned you earlier, so don't worry you'll die anyways, but let me have the fun myself." Saying that he snatched a police gun and tried to shoot me, but before he could do it, I thrusted him with my sword. The last words he heard from me were, "Swift Death to Evil" then he became unconscious. I then told the inspector, "Sir, please take him to hospital, I missed his vitals on purpose if he's taken to the hospital, he might still be safe." Both he and boss were taken to the hospital and both lived to tell the tale.
