Disclaimer: I do not own Ronin Warriors but I wish I did. I do own the original characters. I apologize in advance if the portrayal the characters a little out of character.
A.N. - Ok I know that I already posted this story but this one is a revision. I am going through the chapters, rereading them, and editing, adding more detail and I hope to even add some new chapters as well. Basically, I'm fixing the mistakes I see in hopes of making this story better and be a little closer to the anime. I am going to keep the original destiny's warrior up so that you readers can compare if your heart so desires. ^_^ and I will also continue to update Loving the Enemy along with this one too. So I hope I get some reviews for this one telling me what you think and that you all enjoy the new version of Destiny's Warrior.
Talpa stared out of the window at the pouring rain wondering what he was going to do now.
'I never wanted a wife.' he thought angrily. "And I certainly don't want a child!" he said out loud, yelling at the blackened sky outside.
Talpa had married a woman a few years ago to ensure his getting free from the spirit world. Now that he was back in Japan he had no need for his wife anymore. "Then she had to go and have a child" he thought darkly as if he didn't help with that. This was certainly going to put a damper in his plans to conquer the world. He had only found one of the ten armors that he needed to control the world. This was the one belonging to Anubis. The young child was enough of a hassle already. Now he had to deal with his own child running around.
"Master Talpa," a voice behind him called.
"What is it now Anubis?" Talpa growled.
The ten-year old Anubis looked at the imposing figure of his master. He had been found by Talpa a few months ago and had promptly decided to serve him with all of the power of his armor which he was in the process of learning to use under Talpa's watchful eye.
"Your wife requests you in her chambers." Anubis said, "She wants you to see your new daughter."
"A daughter!" Talpa thought as his eyes flashed angrily, this was even worse than he could have imagined. If he had a son maybe he could have been useful to him in regaining the armors, but a daughter that was just insult to injury.
Slowly Talpa turned around and strode to his wife chambers his expression one of irritation. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye as he entered the room. She lay in the bed, looking very pale against the white sheets. A quick word from the doctor told Talpa that his wife wouldn't live much longer, she had simply lost too much blood. "Perfect" Talpa muttered sarcastically, now he was going to have to take care of his insufferable child alone. Talpa walked over to his wife's side not even caring to glance at his now sleeping daughter.
"Isn't she wonderful Talpa?" his wife questioned weakly, "I shall call her Sakura"
Talpa gave an irritated look at the peacefully sleeping girl lying in her mother's arms as he picked her up to get a closer look at her.
Talpa's red eyes soon widened in shock as a red symbol appeared, glowing on her forehead. Talpa stared at it his mind trying to register the symbol. 'No,' he thought 'it can't be.' As if to prove him wrong the symbol glowed brighter, the symbol of love. That could only mean one thing. His daughter possesed one of the ten armors. It seemed as though luck was on his side for once.
"Maybe..." Talpa said his expression turning into a smirk, "Maybe having a daughter won't be so bad after all."
