SAMURAI DANDY IS NOT AN OC! HE IS A CHARACTER IN THE OKAMI GAME. YOU HAVE TO GET BACK HIS WATCH FROM THAT THEIF.

He looked down upon me with beautiful blue eyes. He smelled of cherries and Konohana blossoms. "Bonjour, ma chérie." The only thing to ruin this perfect moment was that he did not speak my language. I gave him a questioning look. "Oh, Excuse moi. You speak " he said the language I spoke. "Forgive me, ma chérie." I nodded and got up. I grabbed my sword Rensho and stood up, he was a little taller than me, with a eagle hat, with the wings stretching over his hair. I could see his sideburns. He had blonde hair. I wanted to see more of it. Was it nappy, silky, or smooth? Was it dirty blonde, shiny blonde, or just blonde? I wanted to know. I wanted to know what language he spoke. He was just so intriguing.

"You were set in stone, that is until Yours Truly did a little Divine Intervention. Don't you just love that breeze, and the view?" This man was truly weird. Not to mention his clothes. A pink shirt (with pom-poms), and purple pants, with…I didn't even know what shoes he were wearing. Maybe they were a style where he came from. I doubt it. The "breeze" was salty sea air blowing in your face, and the "view" was the Water Dragon eating yet another fishing boat, with two men onboard. He had a sick sense of humor. "I didn't get your nom?" I twisted my head. "What?" He chuckled "Your name."

'My…" I hesitated, my hand clenched Rensho. Could he be a demon? "Well?" Naw, probably not. "Dandy." I said. "Samurai Dandy." A smile quirked on his lips. "I'm Waka." He said. "And your name is quite funny." I frowned. "Says the guy named 'Waka'. And what's with those clothes." I said in disgust. "Well, you're the one who looks like he's a mixture of a clown and a samurai. Which are you?" I growled. "I am a samurai, and well trained. I use this look to fool people. Unlike you!" Waka stepped back. "Excuse moi?" he said. "I happen to be very skilled in swordsmanship." I jumped up through the Konohana tree, and used a branch to leap over there where Yoichi was. The cattle scattered like roaches and Yoichi, just moved away.

Waka did not at seem phased by my act. He levitated, sparkles dancing around him. He can fly! My jaw dropped. He flew over, to the yellow pond. He levitated just above its surface. I drew Rensho, its inferno red blade was marked in a steady row of rectangles. Waka revealed a flute. I nearly laughed. "This is my Sword. Pillow Talk." he said. He pushed the sword in itself, then a blue light shot from it. "That's not a sword!" I mocked. He then drew another sword.

"Let's rock, baby!"

I slightly blushed at the name. But then I realized the situation and took my stance. Waka charged at me with a seemly slow speed. He just floated towards me. I jumped at Waka and we clashed blades. He might move slowly, but his reaction speed is amazing. An admirable feat it was. I jumped back, and jumped at him using my 4 Shears attack. He took the attacks head on. Waka then just stood there.

"What? Scared?" I taunted. Then in a flash a powerful force hit me. I hit the ground, Rensho skidded away from my hands. "What?" I murmured. "See, I moved so rapide that you couldn't even comprehend the vitesse." Waka chuckled. He helped me up. "Ressemble à ce que j'ai gagné." he said. 'What!" Waka leaned in close. "Looks like I won, Minet." I clenched my fist. "Minet? What does that mean?" I said, humiliation all upon my face. "Only time will tell." He said. He flipped one of his eagle wings back. "See ya around, Minet." He said. Waka dispersed in a frenzy of sparkles.

I stood there dumbfounded.

Later that day, In Sei-an City, I stood against the wall by the entrance from Ryoshima Coast to the Commoner's Quarters. That man. That strange man. Waka was it? I nearly slapped myself. I couldn't forget such a valuable asset. His hair is some sort of blonde. Dang it! Curiosity is eating me alive, it is! I decide to but some Meat from the Merchant and head to my home in Kusa Village. No one ever knew his name, just the Merchant. I said my goodbyes and headed down to Ryoshima Coast. I enjoyed the view a bit before going to the City Checkpoint. I fed the dogs a bit before leaving. I wanted to take one with me but Mother would never allow. And if you're wondering; She lives with me! She is dying and wants to spend the rest of her days with her favorite and only son.

It's a long walk home, but it's a refreshing walk home. I use to live in Sei-an City, but Mother came along. It was too hot there, so I moved to Kusa Village, where the breeze was wonderful. Sometimes Fuse-hime would let me in the Gale Shrine with one of her Canine Warriors to guard me. It's always Shin though. Me and him have bonded greatly. I returned to Mother.

"Where have you been, my little Toshiro!" she was having one of her coughing fits. It scares me half to death when she does that. Blood stained her hands. "Mother, please try to soothe your body. Do not stress so much." I say in a soothing voice. My voice is similar to a female's so she is soothed. "I have not much time left, Satoshi." I frowned. I hated when Mother talked like this. "Mother please, hush, and lay down." She did as she was told. In a few minutes, she was sound asleep. "Oh, Mother." Sometimes I felt like she would never wake up. That's how much she scared me.

I decided to go up to the Gale Shrine. But, I couldn't get that Waka person out of my head. Maybe the wind could help me. No. I decided to head to Kimiki Village instead. But I was scared to travel far. I didn't want to come back and find Mother's body over the floor. I shivered at the thought. I spent the rest of the day, watching over Mother like a hawk.

I know it's wrong of me to think this, but I want her to die. I want to end her misery. So I can be free. She is in my way. I can't have a life with her around, coughing up blood every second. Why won't she just die? Why is she still clinging on to life? I want a life. "Why don't you just die, Mother. Life is through with you. Go to heaven where you will suffer no longer." I silently prayed that day will come. So she can be free, and so will I.

I feel asleep in a sitting position.

I woke from the morning light shining in my eyes. I stretched and yawned. "Mother?" I felt her head on my lap. Her fingers clenched my kimono. "Mother?" My eyes widened. It happened. She died. "Mother…" She had one of her coughing fits…and I slept right through. She must of died with hatred in her heart. Tears flooded my vision.

All of Kusa Village could hear my screams.
