Prologue: Dragon in the RainA Feudal Tale

As you can see, two years have passed and I have managed my way onto the list of one of Japan's deadliest assassins. The few who know may ask, "how did this happen?" or "why?" or the ever-pondered "how can you go day by day doing this? Be the person you are? Have now ounce of sorrow towards the victims? How can you be a murderer?" My answer: I am not a murderer. People are born, live, and die…. every day. It's a repeating cycle that never seems to get old to us. All I do is shorten that process for those who don't deserve it to be drawn out. People who will execute family for money. People who will slaughter entire villages for some power. People who will look deep into the eyes of a child who's fate they have decided for them, and feel nothing. I am not a murderer. I exterminate them. My name is Kioko Tenshi, and this is my story.
