I laid there feeling the pain rush towards my head and body was in aching pain,yet I felt not a large source of pain, it was like my body was being struck by a he stood over me his arms crossed and his jet black hair covering his eyes,and his silhouette tall and arms pale skin wrapped around his entire body and his face. He reminded me of Master Ryu,the way he looked up and around his close he was to he the young monster that took out the whole Aki village? The same boy who took out the Jonin of The Black Spider Clan. I slowly raised to my feet and held my katanas close to my chest,glaring back at him. Our eyes connecting with exchanges of cold and monstrosity in his eyes. He was known as the White Fang of the Mugen Tenshin clan. his name was Kenji.
"I wish not to harm you,go back to your home." He demanded,his voice filled with a sadistic smooth tone.I refused to let Master Ryu down like this,not when I was so close to capturing him. "Your master will grow concern of your location,it is wise for you to return to him."
"My master is aware of my location,he appointed me this very mission." I said,aiming both swords toward turned away,not showing any sign of battle or Defense. Instead,he looked up towards the sky and felt the breeze of the wind brush his was coming.
"Sister,must you follow me every time I meet lovely maiden." He said,talking to the woman that bowed before me,her hair was short but abit longer than the male,her face covered except for her were a deep ocean blue.
"Nii-san,I promised father that I'll protect this woman causing trouble towards you."
"No,if she were causing me trouble,she would be dead within the moment she left the village." Kenji said looking over his shoulder at me.
The woman looked at me,her eyes coloring me with suspicion.
"I see we depart?"She said,standing up.
Her skin was darker than others around this side of the eyes were a deep sea blue and her fringes short and plastered from the morning shared the same features ad Kenji,the strong jawline and thin woman stood up and walked towards the boy, who nodded and looked over at eyes pierced me like an smirk like a sadistic dagger.
"I hope to see you shortly after,my sweet treasure." He snickered before the two teleported out of sight.I felt my face flush and my body cringe.I was not his treasure.I looked over my shoulder to see Ayane in one of her navy blue and lilac purple kimono,her white head piece made her look stunning.

"I see you've made contact."She said her statement sounding like question.I looked over my shoulder and noted her coming closer.I felt anger grow around me and slipping out."He will understand if you were not capable of capturing him Takara . Hayate will assist in looking for his lost student." Her hands were soft against my thinly strapped shoulder,I turned to face her,not wanting to know what expression was on her face.

"I feel like a failure." I said
"No,You aren't a failure,you've actually outdone Master Ryu in finding Kenji."
"He had no interest in finding him..It was a task or a favor for Hayate."
Ayane looked down at my comment,I understand how she felt towards her wished to help him achieve something honoring in his life.I bowed to her,not bothering to look up at her.
"Master Ryu wishes to have a word with you."
I nodded and ran towards the Hayabusa village,meeting inside with my master.I felt fear that he knew what all has happened this morning with Kenji.I felt more guilt inside of my veins,More shame.

I stood on my knee not bothering to take the smallest glance outside the doors,The very same doors as Master Ryu looked out in calm and poise. I pressed my fist to my chest and felt my body tremble in fear. I can feel his green eyes speculate me like a perfectly thought made me more lumps form in my throat and destroyed my way to speak in a more clear tone.

"Master,You requested me."
"Takara,you're weapons."He demanded,looking out the opened back was towards me,but I couldn't help but wonder if he could sense my aura.I drew my dual katanas and held them out in view. He finally turned around and took the swords from me,holding them up towards his face,I refused to look at his face.
"I remember forging these weapons as a gift to you,the innocent treasured was your birthday gift,you helped me destroy a fiend."
I nodded and held back a smile.
"You keep it in such delicate conditions,are you afraid to spill blood with it?" he asked.
"No,Ryu-sama."
Calmly,Master Ryu lid the swords back in my hands and closed the small gap between us. I could feel my cheeks flush from from his breathing.
"You and Takeshi will join me on a mission.I advise you to get him ready and meet me at the nearest gate." He said,walking farther away from was he doing? I gripped the hilt of my katanas and rose from my position,leaping forward and sliding both katana's towards Master's looked over his shoulder and smirked.
"very wise to sneak on me,Takara," He said while looking back at me,I could see the glean in his eyes and looked dragon sword was in his hands,aimed at my was too fast,I didn't even see him move.
"You learn quickly,Young Dragon." I bowed and covered my face,he smirked and drew back his sword "But you have so much to learn." He teleported out of the room and left me alone. I walked out to the village in search of my brother.
