Chapter one: Discovering The Truth
Kaoru brought her hand up to her forehead to wipe off the sweat that was now coming to her eyes. With one last swing with her bokken Kaoru decided to go home and try to cook for her and her father. She reaches for the shoji door but suddenly stop. She heard a cry of a man.
"Aaaah!" It was coming from her house she knew that her father was being attack, so she ran toward her house holding her bokken tightly in her hands.
'Father' Kaoru was already at the door step and seeing that the doors were open she ran inside waiting for the worst. Another scream was erupted but this one was out of againing.
"Aaaaaaah!"
It came from her father library without hesitation kaoru swung the door open and was shock at what she saw, blood was everywhere. Five men lay dead in their blood and four were standing. She was glad that it was not from her father but of the enemy. She notice that the men she thought were robbers were in fact ninjas and that they were there to kill her father. What shock her most was that her father that had taught her not to kill has just killed five men. He had said that a sword is to protect the ones you love with no blood shed. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't move; her mind would not let her.
Haiku Kamiya had slain two more men not noticing his daughter was watching him. He turns to face the last two and he raised his sword, but stop. He noticed the only person he cared for was watching him kill these men when he, her father, taught her not to kill. He was so caught up in the emotion his daughter was feelings that he failed to notice one of the ninja disappear.
"Kaoru get away from here!" The ninja that disappears had appeared behind Haiku. Kaoru snap out of her shock to warn her father.
"Father!" she screams, "Behind you." Haiku turns around and had enough time to block the ninjas attack. He kick him in the stomach and watched the ninja lose his balance enough to him give him an open area to strike him in the heart. The ninja fell to his knees and fell with a thud in the floor.
The last ninja watched in horror as his fellow partner died. With pure hatred in the man eyes he attacks with full force. Haiku knew he had an advantage against the ninja. He knew he was blind by rage and was going to use it against him. The ninja brought up his sword for a final attack and brought it down full force. Haiku used one of his great attacks and disappeared from the ninja eyes. The ninja did not know were the man went and turn his head everywhere to find him. Haiku reappear in the air and surprise the ninja by bringing his sword down to the ninja head and slit the man in two.
Kaoru watched in horror but also with amazement. She could not believe that a man had the strength to slit a man in two but she also could not believe that her father just killed all the ninjas. Her father taught her one thing that she honors the most, to not kill. She felt tears fall down her cheeks.
"Kaoru, honey, please don't cry" Haiku knelt down to his daughter level. He watched his daughter beautiful blue eyes filled with sorrow and he understood why. His daughter never like deaths and it was going to affect her a lot now knowing her father was a killer and not the sweet businessman she knew all her four years of life. He knew one day she would discovered the truth of him but not in this kind of way.
"Why did you lie to me, daddy? Why?" She had her head down not wanting to show her weakness to her father. Her heart was so full of pain it felt like something was sucking the life out of her. She wanted to know why her father had lie to her so blinding and try to make her feel like a person that has been living a life full of pain. So much pain was inside her that she once more broke into tears and fell to her knees covering her face with her hands.
"Please forgive me for lying to you, Kaoru it was only for your safety." Haiku pick up his daughter from the floor and embrace her in a tight hug.
"I didn't mean for you to discover my secret in such way. I was going to tell you when you were older but it is too late for that." He felt his Kaoru sake in his holding and so he holds her tighter.
"Did mommy know about this?" It was so strange for Haiku to hear his daughter talk so… emotionless.
"No, I didn't want her to know and I was going to tell her too but she died not knowing of my secret. I was glad not because she died, but because she did not had to carry the burden of shame in her knowing that her husband is killer. Kaoru I'm sorry that you had to find out this way but now you truly know what your father is. I know that you hate me for lying to you and hate me for what I am. I will understand if you don't forgive me." There was a long pause and non movement from both of them. Haiku was relieved when he felt his daughter move her head from his shoulder to look at him. He did not expect so many emotions in his daughter eye but what else did he expect.
"Daddy I will never hate you because you raised me with such love that I can't turn that to hate. No matter what I will always forgive you and I understand why you didn't tell me sooner it was for my wellbeing. Yes you are a killer but you also have a heart of a great father and that will be how I will see you." Haiku was shock of such wisdom that came from his small child that it caused him to cry. He had not cry for a long time since his wife died and Kaoru was not there to witness his weakness, but she was now for the first time. He hugs her once more and kissed her forehead.
"I thank Kami for such a wonderful child. Thank you for understanding Kaoru." He sent down his daughter and wipes his tears away.
Kaoru understood his father she knew if she were to yell at him for lying to her that it will break him. He is a strong man but I am the person he loves the most and if I were to hurt him I would scar him deeply. There was a question that she had in her mind and wonder how her father will react. Her honor did not exist anymore the honor that told her not to kill.
"Can you show me the art of killing?"
"What!" Haiku did not believe what she just asks for but when he looked down to her eyes he saw that she had meant it.
"Kaoru the only reason I lied to you about not killing was because I did not wanted you to fall to the same steps as I did. It is such sin to feel this way and live such way."
"I know but if you had the courage to do this then I too feel the obligation to follow. I want to do this and I believe that there is a reason you follow those steps." Kaoru spoke so emotionless that she liked it.
Haiku in the other hand did not like her tone but he would accept it.
"I do have my reason but you are too young to understand it. This is not the time to explain my reasons right now to you. You are not in the condition of learning more news." He wanted his daughter to rest before she took more information.
"No I want to know the reasons why you became a killer and I will not move till you tell me." She cross her arms around her chest and give the best serious face she could come up with. Her action made her father erupt with laughter.
"What's so funny?" She did not understand why her father started laughing.
"Your actions are so cute honey and your expression always makes me laugh. You are the only person I know that can make me laugh."
"Do you really?" Her face lit up like a light.
"Yes and you are too innocent to learn the art of killing. The only reason I became I killer is because are country is so corrupted with men that don't valued their people. I am there to punish each and one of them." Kaoru notices the change of his voice to a serious tone.
"Then if you do teach me then I will also have a reason to kill. It is for the better of Japan. We will bring justice to Japan in a different way." Haiku knew he could not teach his daughter to kill but she really believe that she can make her home country a better place. He had no other choice.
"Fine I will teach everything I know to make you the best." He knew he would regret it but inside him it told him that things will turn out fine.
"When will we start?" Kaoru was glad that her father was going to teach her and knew that she will not regret it. She was going to make her father proud of her by become the best assassin in the world.
"Tomorrow, Kaoru when I am going to teach I won't be easy on you understand?"
"Yes and I will become the best."
"I know" He knew when his daughter meant what she was saying that she will keep her word. He hopes that Japan was ready of what he was going to create.
