Oh and I do not own Soul Calibur.
A year has passed since that battle. Tetsuya trained further with his Sensei Mitsurugi. He was intent on giving Von Blade the fight of his life as well as his last one. Now he's a fine 17 year old but he still has his same old outfit. His hair was a little longer and he sitched a new pattern on his black warrior gi. It was a red falcon meant to show Tetsuya's courage covered on his chest. In the year 1606 our story begins. Filled with adventure, humor and love. Now Tetsuya is standing on top of a small hill not far from his Sensei's house. In the middle of Spring a nice gust of wind brushed past Tetsuya's hair. It brought him back to where he was. The sun was begining to set and Tetsuya knew that Mitsurugi was going to tell him that dinner's ready. He walked back into the house and as he thought Mitsurugi was getting a stew ready for them.
'Ah your just in time lad.' Mitsurugi said with a nod as he poured Tetsuya a bowl.
Tetsuya bowed and kneeled down at the table to enjoy his meal.
'A year's past since that battle.' Tetsuya said as he saw the calendar.
'Indeed.' Mitsurugi said as he too sat down to eat.
After they ended thier meal Mitsurugi rose and told Tetsuya to get ready for bed.
As he slept he heard the name Saya. 'What does it mean?' he mused to himself.
By the time Tetsuya got into focus it was noon.
Mitsurugi told him to meet at the small hill not far from thier house.
Tetsuya went there as intended. There he saw his Sensei Mitsurugi waiting for him.
'Ah there you are lad.' Mitsurugi greeted his pupil with a nod.
Tetsuya gave a bow and said to his Sensei 'So what do you want to talk about?' he asked.
Mitsurugi turned around and gave him a travel bag.
Inside it was food, a map of Japan, some money and a scroll.
'Now is the time for your true test lad.' he said to Tetsuya.
Tetsuya knew what was coming. He would need to battle his Sensei one day.
They both walked the path of the blade. It would only be a matter of time.
When that day would happen they would not be Sensei and pupil.
They would both be warriors.
'You have one year from now.' Mitsurugi said to Tetsuya.
He went on with 'After that year come back here to face me. It will be a true battle.'
Tetsuya bowed and left to get his katana and tiger lily fauld.
Mitsurugi called him, Tetsuya turned around to see his Sensei.
His face had the smallest glimpse of a smile.
'Take care of yourself lad.' he said with a nod Tetsuya returned the nod and entered the house.
Mitsurugi sighed and thought to himself 'He's the closest I've had to a true son.'
But the swordmaster would die before he would admit that.
Besides he somehow knew Tetsuya thought of him as a Father.
The boy never talked about his parents or any siblings.
He'd just change the subject or keep training.
Tetsuya emerged out the house. His headband was wrapped around his head.
The travel bag slung around his right arm. And his katana on the left side of his hip.
Mitsurugi patted Tetsuya on his left shoulder and said 'Head north to Kyoto. Then find some work. Bandit hunting is a popular job these days.'
Tetsuya nodded and Mitsurugi continued with 'And do not under any situation fight Von Blade.'
Mitsurugi's pupil said 'But Sensei he's not in Japan. The lords drove him out.'
The swordmaster repiled with 'I know but in my history things like that show up when you least expect it.'
With that Tetsuya embarked on his quest.
Little did he know that he would be involved with the two swords.
Or the fate of the world. Or the adventures he would have.
So that's the start done. I don't know when I'll update this.
I'm also busy with a Patroklos X Natsu fanfic.
And I'm also doing a Skullgirls fanfic if you know what that is.
Lastly the summer holiday is soon and I'll be going to places with my GF.
Till nest time!
