Story takes place when makimaru dad and brother are leaving on a mission. Makimaru wants to go but his dad says he is not strong enough to fight the Kokiri clan. Makimaru jealous that his brother is chosen to go over him. He storms out to his his room he keeps trying to think up a plan to where he can go without his dad he thinks about this it gets pitch black. What do you want he says through the silence.A voice from the shadows answers Ha so you spotted me. The darkness subsides and his older brother Kiza his brother says in a causal tone.
What do you want makimaru says some what annoyed. His brother leans against the window sill. What I cant see my little brother before I leave he says in his strange cheery mood. Then he sighs well I know you are kind of mad at me because dad has chosen me but soon enough your time will come. Makimaru scoofs and looks away. Hey I got something for you. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a small dagger that has strange markings and symbols. What is it makimaru asks as he runs his fingers on the symbols. Its a ritual dagger. I figured you needed it more than I did and I needed to get you a goodbye present,so you like it. Maki-maru says wait need it more than you. KizaOh I frgot to tell you that dad wants you to see us off he said as if it slipped his mind. Makimaru thought to himself how did he become the chosen one before me. The though made makimaru chuckle. Hey maki he heard kiza say and turned around. Without heistation kiza flicked a large nut at makimaru. He dodged it and it cracked and hithind him. Makimaru looked at kiza in awe. What the hell was that for makimaru screamed. I was just testing you kiza smirked. Before makimaru can throw it back at him kiza is gone.
Makimaru not as mad as before decides to go and see his dad off. He gets up out of bed and goes to the sink and washes his face. He looks in the mirror. He saw that his eyes were still fatiged and dreary looking. He walks over to his closet and in their is four kimonos. He grabs the red one with the gold etched on the sleeves and back. He turns around and looks out the window to see a huge maple tree. He planted that only a year ago and now look at it he thought to himself. He grabbed his katanna of the stand and opened it half way. The blade was damacus steel. The grooves on the blade symbolizing the grains on wood. He took it out fully and got into a battle stance. He lunged at the air a couple of times then put the blade away and tied it to his belt.
He left the room and headed for the courtyard he knew for a fact that, that is were everyone would be. In the courtyard everyone was their. To the village council to the elders to even the civlians. Makimaru saw his mom stand on the raised petsal looking over the crowd. He walked over to his mothers side. She said oh in suprise. I didnt think you would come Maki. Makimaru looks into her eyes and whispersI wouldnt miss this. His dad and his brother ride up to meet them on horse back. His dad says in his rough coarse voice well if it isnt my beloved wife and son. Makimaru has a smile on his face. He takes his moms hand and kisses it. He sees the worry in her eyes and says dont worry we will be back before you know it. Then he takes his hand and puts it on makimarus he looks down on makimaru and says I am putting you in charge of taking care of your mom and the villiage. Makimaru grins and says ill do my best. Then his dad looks at his brother and says I guess its time. When he says that he leaves into the sunlight.
