The Fallen Samurai
Chapter 1:Midnight Blades
"Kyo…..Kyo wake up" ::kyo rolls over on the bed, he has short messy blue hair, he has bright blue eyes, he looks very young, he is 19 years old, right now he's wearing baggy black boxers and a white no sleeve shirt:: "Kyo it's time for your training" ::Kyo looks at his mother, who was standing in his small room. He slowly leans up running his hands threw his messy, slick, hair then threw his arms to his sides and hops out of his bed and yawns while stretching as his mother walks out of the room. Kyo slowly stands up while taking his cloths off and grabs a pair very baggy dark blue pants that are being held up by a black sash with his long Katana sheathed, and strapped onto his Sash. The green velvet wrapping around his grip of his katana looks old and mostly torn with bits of it hanging off of it, his katana has a design of a golden dragon on it, he then goes to the side of his bed grabbing, black leather armor that is short sleeved, he puts it on over his head as the sleeves stop right above his elbows, he puts on some black velvet gloves going up just below his elbows, the gloves are fingerless. He grabs a red headband putting it on right under his bangs around his head tying it. He puts on some socks and some wooden sandals with the string in-between his big toe and one of his little toes. He then walks out of the room into the small dinning room, he walks threw the room and outside into a large field, there where very few other houses, it was still very early the sun was just now setting, he looked at his father who had on some larger black armor, he had short black hair, he has a katana in his right hand, baggy black pants being held up with a black sash, he has a armguard on his left wrist, he has wooden sandals on as well.:: "alright Kyo are you ready for your training" ::Kyo just smirks and nods quickly unsheathing his Katana holding it with both hands bending his knees slightly letting the blade point diagonally, holding onto the sword very lightly as he gazed at his father::
::his father rushes at Kyo, Kyo quickly Jumps to the side rolling on the ground hoping to his feet as his father was still in reach and swung his sword horizontally but Kyo quickly parries his blow and thrusts at his gut, but his father brings his blade down quickly on Kyo's making his go into the dirt as his father swings horizontally again at his face, Kyo quickly ducks pulling his sword up from under his father cutting his leg as his father tried to pull it back. His father smirked at the blow as Kyo quickly got back in position not hesitating a moment swinging his blade down at his fathers ankles but his father hops up kicking Kyo in the face. Kyo turns his face as he takes a few steps back from the blow as his father lands swiftly on his feet, Kyo let go of his sword with one hand as his father thrusted his sword at Kyo, Kyo then quickly stepped side ways so the blade nearly hit him as he hit his father in the back with the hilt of the sword but didn't even phase him as his father elbowed Kyo in the gut as Kyo bent over from the blow, his father then kicked him in the ankle bringing Kyo to his knee's as then brought his katana down quickly at Kyo's Shoulder Kyo looked up bringing his Katana up blocking the blow making a few sparks fly up from the blow as Kyo winced slightly. Kyo put both hands holding his blade horizontally. He pushed up overpowering his father pushing his father back, then gave one good push pushing his father back, unbalancing him and then spun swinging his sword at his fathers side but his father quickly pointed his blade towards the ground blocking the attack as Kyo then quickly spun the opposite direction looking as if he where about to hit, his father let go of the katana with his right hand and another short sword flew down his sleeve, Kyo's eyes widened as his father blocked the attack and then swung his Katana at Kyo's neck, stopping right before he hit him then smirked as Kyo glared at his father::
"that was unfair! You didn't tell me you where going to use two swords!" ::his father just sighed:: "I didn't have to tell you anything you should've been prepared. Always expect what you least expect. :: Kyo sheathed his sword slowly turning his head:: "Kyo you have nothing to be ashamed of anyways…I mean you're the next best samurai in this town" ::kyo closed his eyes halfway looking at his father:: "in this town?! FATHER there are only a hundred people in this town.. GAH! This isn't even a town it's a tiny village!…I need to train harder…..I'll be back later…sorry for yelling" ::his father just smiled at him:: "it's alright…go ahead you know where all the training equipment is" ::he nodded and started to walk off towards a huge open field where there was one tree with hundreds of branches with a black tome stone next to it with a red Gem imbedded on it. He Never really read what it said. He walked over to it and knelt down next to it reading it saying, All those who use this forsaken stone will be granted with immortal power and the death to a hated one if the wish is granted truthfully and the stone is used for good and darkness shall never shroud you again if your heart is pure you will not be imbedded with dark spirits instead you will be filled with the light of great heavens:: "…what the hell is that supposed to mean" ::he scratched the back of his head and then leaned against the tree and sighed, he started to think about how his hair is blue when he is pure human and his mother and father are human and don't have blue hair. Then he thought about leaving this town and going someplace knew thinking about how he would get money and then a idea popped into his mind, he looked over to the gem and put his sword into a small crease and started to wedge the gem out of the spot where it was embedded, he slowly brought it out having a lot of trouble and then it glowed as it popped into his hand, he set it down on his knee and sheathed his sword as it glowed again, he picked it up and held it in his hand as it glowed brightly:: "what the hell?!" it then slowly melted and went into his hand as great pain quickly rushed threw his body:: "AHH!" ::he screamed out in pain as it went threw his veins, as the veins, in his eyes turned a darker red making his bright blue eyes slowly turn a blood red as there is a surge of energy blast into his body as there is a deep boom heard in his mind as everything he sees is red as he slowly stands dazed:: "uhh…" ::then electricity flows threw his body creating even more pain:: "ARRR! Someone…help me!" ::then his mind went blank and then he blacks out, he wakes up laying on the ground, it is now midnight, he can hear the crackling of fire, his eyes are now bright blue once again, his sword next to him all bloody, his eyes widen as he quickly stands up seeing his whole house engulfed in flames as it reflected in his eyes:: "…nu….NO! MOTHER FATHER!" ::everything now just started rushing threw his mind, wondering if his mother, his father, or his four siblings where still alive he sheathed his sword quickly looking around franticly and then ran over to one of the many by standers who was looking at the fire:: "what happened! Tell me! Please tell me!" ::the man looked at him:: "we don't know!"
::Kyo's eyes got all watery, someone walked up to him, it was an older man:: "Kyo" ::Kyo looked at him. It was his neighbor:: "…what" "Kyo you should go find someplace to stay…..everyone inside….is dead" ::Kyo just shook his head and started to walk off towards the huge field and then quickened his pace and started running, lowering his head so his bangs where covering his eyes as the man shouted out to Kyo:: "wait! KYO COME BACK!" ::Kyo then just started running faster:: "what happened! What is going on!" ::he then ran into a huge man cladded in armor and fell over and quickly scampered to his feet:: "are you Kyo…I saw what you did! You monster! You burned that house! I saw you do it!" ::kyo's eyes widened:: "WHAT! How dare you accuse me of such a crime! I would never do such a thing, all I remember is waking up outside my house!" ::the man shook his head unsheathing his bastard sword:: "NO! arr!" ::Kyo quickly unsheathed his katana getting in the same stance, from when he fought his father as another man slowly comes up behind him, cladded in armor with a bastard sword as well:: "great…I DID NOT KILL THEM!" "you did we watched you. No use in denying it now!" ::the one in front of him rushed at Kyo, but Kyo just jumps up quickly doing a front flip over him then spinning and kicking the man in the back with both of his feet pushing him forward at the other man, but the man moves out of the way. Kyo then rushes at the man that he pushed while he was turning around holding his katana tightly with both hands and thrusted it piercing right threw the mans armor and going threw him and out the other end, the other man glared at Kyo:: "you bastard!" ::the blood quickly gushed out, Kyo quickly pulled his blade back out as the man fell off the blade dead as the other man swung his blade at Kyo vertically but Kyo held his blade sideways and blocked the sword, the man was overpowering him as his knees where bending not knowing what do but then slowly moved to his left out of the way of the blade and pulled his sword out from under his as the man's blade went deep into the ground as Kyo swung his blade horizontally at the man's neck as his katana quickly went straight threw the helmet going threw his neck and cutting threw the other end of the helmet as the mans fell right off as the blood sprayed for a moment and then the man fell to the ground lifeless obviously::
::kyo started breathing heavily his eyes wide since they where the first people he has ever killed. He then quickly began running threw the field again away from town as he sheathed his sword::
::a man a ways away from Kyo watching him threw the field gazed at him smirking slightly as he was aiming a crossbow, with a golden badge on his right shoulder, he was the best archer in the town, and has perfect aim, he then fires the arrow at Kyo::
