The Blade Of PassionTen years ago, when all wars raged on. Sword against sword. There was a person named Tenou Haruka, this person was a hikitori. Believe it or not, this killer was only in her late teens. She would kill everyone who got in her way. But she kept many secrets, like she was a woman. But no one knew, and no one tried to interfere with her life, because the price of that could end with his or her lives taken. But one day when all the wars stopped the hikitori vanished and was never seen again. No one knows what happened to Tenou Haruka or her side as the hikitori.
It was now a decade since wars have stopped and every village in Japan was finally at peace. The way of the sword is still carried and everyone resumed normal lives as farmers, waiters, and samurai. There were many by passers in Kyoto and one of them was a tall handsome blonde, in a blue and white kimono. Strolling across the bridge. The samurai continued her stroll across the bridge until she stopped at some small restaurant. The blonde sat down and waited for a waiter to serve her.
At the kitchen there were some women, dressed in green as a uniform of the restaurant. All of them whispering how the blonde was really handsome and good looking. One of the servers came out and she had gorgeous aqua curls. She served the blonde some tea and asked her what she wanted. The waitress nodded and began to walk back until some drunken man touched her.
"Hey! Let's go back at my place and have some fun" The drunk man mumbled and pulled her down. The waitress screamed and no one tried to help her.
"Release the girl" The blonde samurai stated coldly.
"Why? You look like a man who would like to share." The man hiccupped and sat up.
"Release her, I will not repeat myself again." The blonde said once more, placing her hand on her sword.
The man shoved the girl harshly only to be caught by the blonde. The drunken man took out his sword and was about to cut the aqua haired girl until another sword blocked it. The blonde samurai gently pushed the girl out of the way and continued to block attacks. The blonde leaped back two times and put her sword back into her sheath. She stood in position, bending forward. One hand on her sheath and one hand on the handle of her sword.
Some of the men were wide eyed at the stance the blonde had stood in. The blonde dashed toward the man and leaped, she pulled out her sword and injured the man on the shoulder.
"My sword will not harm you, yet it will punish you." The blonde mumbled and put away her sword. The drunken man fell down and moaned in defeat, while people laughed at him. The blonde made her way to a certain girl and helped her up.
"Daijabu?" she said.
"I'm alright" The girl said and stood up.
"May I know the name of my savior?" The girl asked.
"Tenou Haruka"
"Kaiou Michiru."
The two introduced themselves and bowed.
"Arigato Haruka-san, is there anything I can repay you with? "
" Ano.. there is one thing. I just arrived at Kyoto and I need a place to stay." Haruka explained and made gestures to Michiru.
"I see, well you can come live at my place for a while" Michiru answered and smiled warmly. The blonde smiled too.
"Arigato Michiru-san"
Later that evening Haruka and Michiru spent the rest of there time socializing. Getting to know each other and commenting silly things about each other. It was than after dinner Michiru excused herself to take a bath. Haruka went outside and stared at the moon. She closed her eyes and saw violent images of people getting slaughtered by her. She opened her eyes once again, she reminded herself that was the past and now in the present she would help people instead of killing them. Right than, Haruka heard a scream coming from Michiru, who was in the a washroom.
"Michiru-san?" Haruka called, and quickly rushed into the washroom. Only to see a naked Michiru who was quite red at the time. It was too late for Haruka to realize it but she had just stepped in the washroom and Michiru was naked in front of her.. Michiru screamed once again and dove straight into the water.
"Gomen nasai!" Haruka screamed and quickly closed the door.
Inside the washroom, Michiru relaxed into her nice warm water. She thought back and saw the face of Haruka's when she opened the door. She chuckled, yet she wasn't embarrass that Haruka saw her. She felt like it wasn't a big deal.. Though Michiru saw right through the blonde, she knew she was a woman. A kimono never lies. Michiru giggled and continued to wash up. Meanwhile, outside of the small house Haruka sat down in the living room curled up next to the window. Her sword leaning against her chest. Haruka had dozed off right after she interrupted Michiru's bathing session. A smile appeared on her lips as Haruka slept.
Michiru stepped out of the washroom and immediately saw Haruka sleeping in the corner of the room. Michiru smiled and went to her room to get a blanket for the blonde. Michiru came back, and placed the blanket over the blonde. Michiru wiped a few strands of hair from the blondes face and noticed a scar. A cross shaped scar.. Michiru pondered of how it got there and where it came from. Michiru gently placed her fingers on the scar. Haruka suddenly woke up and drew her sword in front of Michiru. Michiru at the time was shocked at Haruka's sudden movements. She could only stand there in shock.
Haruka noticed what she did and apologized to her. She also explained to Michiru that a samurai always has fast reactions in whatever they were doing, which included sleeping. Haruka didn't know why but she included that she fought in the war that took place a decade ago. Michiru was astronished about Haruka's past. The blonde didn't include one certain part yet. Haruka was scared that if she told Michiru about the hikitori side of Haruka, Michiru would freak out. Though Michiru wanted to know about Haruka's past and about the scar on her left cheek.
"Michiru-san" Haruka called out and faced her.
"Hai?"
"Nevermind" Haruka said right after she called Michiru.
"It's getting late, you should sleep." Haruka advised and Michiru only nodded.
Haruka picked up the blanket that was lying on the floor and continued to look outside the window. In about twenty minutes the blonde had dozed off again. This time into a deeper slumber.
The sunlight made its way to the small house Michiru owned, the birds outside chirped loudly, about to begin their morning meal. Haruka slowly opened her eyes and looked at the empty space. She finally remembered that she had spent the night with Michiru-san. Haruka heard Michiru singing a song outside of the house. Michiru had already engaged in cleaning up her house. Haruka saw a bucket and a cloth and began to wipe the wooden floors. Michiru heard footsteps behind her and saw Haruka cleaning the floors. Haruka flashed a quick smile to Michiru and continued to clean the floors.
After about an hour and a half of cleaning, the two settled down and ate breakfast.
"Sugoi!" Haruka chirped and looks at the table of food.
"Ara?" Michiru took out a handkerchief and began to laugh on it.
Haruka smirked and began to eat the food in front of her.
"Eh, Haruka-san?" Michiru began and continued to eat her food.
"Hai?"
"I'm going to buy some groceries, would you like to accompany me?"
"Of course, I'd gladly accompany you."
At the market, Michiru and Haruka strolled off into each store picking out fruits and vegetables. Everything was going well until someone yelled a name.
"Hey you! Battousai" A tall man yelled. Haruka looked back at the man.
"We don't need your kind here!" The man continued to yell.
"I mean no trouble" Haruka explained and smiled politely. Haruka always had a short temper, which was until her master taught her how to control it. And only release it while fighting.
"I knew it! You are him! The Hikitori Battousai! You can't miss it! Short blonde hair and a cross scar!" one of the villagers yelled.
"I am no longer the Hikitori Battousai.."
"Enough!" A Chief officer yelled.
"Tenou-san my apologies" The chief bowed and apologized.
"No problem.."
Haruka continued to follow Michiru, and carried the bags.
"Michiru-san.. Do you really need this much food?" I nagged and made a pouting face.
"Oi.. You need a lot of food for two.." Michiru answered and continued to buy more vegetables.
Back at the house, dinner was eaten in silence..
"Haruka-san.." Michiru said.
"Hai?"
"Are you really the hikitori battousai?"
"Yes, I am.." Haruka answered in defeat.. Haruka thought now all her chances with Michiru were gone.. Michiru would probably kick her out..
"Okay than… are there anymore secrets you have?" Michiru asked another question.
"Well there's one.. thing.." Haruka started to mumble..
"Come on! There's nothing you can tell me that will surprise me.." Michiru paused. "Not even if you're a woman.."
"I'm a wo.." Haruka was about to start her sentence until she heard Michiru.
"How did you know?" Haruka asked with one brow up.
" A kimono never lies." Michiru winked. After dinner, Haruka and Michiru were on the doorstep of the house looking up at the moon. The wind blew gently, causing cherry blossoms to fly across the night. Michiru leaned on Haruka's shoulder and Haruka put her arm around the others waist.
"I'll protect you.." Haruka whispered.
It was about three weeks, twenty-one days since Haruka and Michiru started living together. Haruka and Michiru went to do some errands and when Michiru was about to pay for the item she bought the owner of the store whispered to Michiru.
"Kawaii Koibito.." The old woman cackled.
Michiru turned a bright red and told the woman that Haruka was not her lover. Haruka was outside of the store until she noticed two men trying to take advantage of a young girl.
"Hey come on! You're beautiful.. and you like me too, I can see it." The man said loudly and forced a kiss on the girl. The girl screamed right after and broke the kiss.
"You whore! You never scream when I kiss you!" The man shouted and slapped the girl. The girl whimpered and ran away from the man.
Haruka nodded her head sadly and watched as the man laughed at the girl. Someone tapped Haruka's shoulder and she looked back. A punch came flying through her face. She flew a couple of feet back before she hopped and landed on her feet and not on her head. The man came rushing towards her and drew his sword out. Haruka quickly drew her sword out and blocked the attack. There were many screams and gasp at the sudden fight.
"Haruka!" Michiru screamed and dropped the bag that was holding her groceries.
"Konnichiwa Battousai.." The man greeted and continued to fight.
"Tenou Haruka right? Nice to meet you. Soichi Tomoe"
"What do you want?" Haruka said and jumped up and came down fast slashing his chest. Soichi staggered a couple of steps back and regained his stance. Soichi rushed at Haruka and disappeared. Haruka turned around and saw him, but it was too late. He had already made an incision on her back.
"Haruka!" Michiru yelled again and rushed toward her side.
"Michiru stay back.." Haruka coughed up and pushed her to the side.
"Haruka-san.. So you have a koibito…. Become the Hikitari Battousai once more! And she will live.. Go to the place where the war started.." Soichi yelled and took Michiru with him. Haruka tried to run, but she found her body couldn't move.. There was no serious wound.. but her body would not move.. 'A paralyzing strike?' She thought.
"Michiru!" Haruka screamed and tried to move again.
"Shimatta… I'll protect you.. Michiru.." Haruka recalled to herself and her world went black.
