Ch. 1
A man in a dark jacket slightly hanging off of him stepped into the phone booth. In his hands he had a black suitcase and the change for the phone. He put the money in and dialed.
Ring. Ring. The phone was picked up by the other side before the third ring. "Hello?" a young girl's voice came from over the phone.
"Pinoco," the man replied, "I should be back home in a few hours."
"Chenchei! I'll have dinner ready by the time you get back. Hurry home." The little girl replied excitedly. (1)
"See you soon, Pinoco." He replied and hung up the phone.
The man then stepped out of the phone booth and looked around for a taxi to hail. Seeing none, he went walking off towards the nearest train station.
Little did he see the person he was being followed by, stealthily lurking nearby in the shadows.
It was a normal day for Kenichi. He was sweeping the yard of the dojo while wearing the stone statues Akisame made for him for his training. When he was almost finished, he heard something that startled him, and badly frightened him. To be more specific two somethings, gunshots. Bang. Bang.
Kenichi rushed out to the scene of the crime, his masters and Mui right behind him. Finally, he arrived there. To his horror, a man with black and white hair was lying in the ground, shot twice. Once in his leg and once in his arm. It was not a pretty picture, blood was everywhere.
Akisame walked up to the darkly clothed man and knelt beside him. After a few moments, Akisame looked up in relief. "He can still be saved." Akisame then picked up the man and walked back to the dojo, while Shigure picked up his bag and followed him.
On the way there, the injured man spoke. "Arigatou," he managed to say before falling limp in Akisame's arms. Akisame's only reply was to smile down at his new patient.
Once back to Ryozanpaku, Akisame carried the heavily injured and scarred man to his clinic. He then took off the man's jacket, handed it to Shigure and proceeded to set him down on a bed and to find his surgery tools. After some time, Akisame managed to remove both bullets. He then stitched the man up and bandaged him.
Akisame then called Mui and Kenichi and asked them to look after their guest. After they were settled in, Akisame and the other masters met with the Elder.
"Elder, we found a man shot twice nearby. I brought him in and treated him. Now what should we do?" Akisame asked.
"Let him stay until he recovers. After that…. We'll see when the time comes." The Elder responded.
After they reached a verdict, the masters left to start training again, and Kenichi was called out to do likewise; Mui was left all alone to watch over the unconscious man.
(1) Chenchei means Sensei. Pinoco can't pronounce it correctly.
