Prologue: The killer
The shrieking sound of a scream came from a dark alley, as the blood flows out on the ground. The knife was red with blood on it as its owner cleaned it with a rag. The assassin said to the dead person, "You were very unlucky…" Then the assassin walked away into the dark alley.
Chapter 1: A fight to death
The ground crunched as he walked into the nearby flatland. The shadow walked into the light as it reviled the shadow's face. The shadow was a samurai in black armor completely. The samurai held his hand on the hilt of his katana, ready for a fight. A fight was what he was looking for, 7 thugs look up at him and they drew their knives and looked at him. 3 approached and the samurai dropped his hand to the handle of the Katana. Then 5 surrounded him, and then the Samurai drew his sword at an angle slicing a thug's chest open. Then he rapidly striked at 3 more and two fell. The head thug ignored the weak fools that he had hired, and he lunged at the Samurai, who moved to the side, when the Samurai then sliced off the head thug's right hand. The head thug fell to the ground screaming in agony, when the Samurai sliced off his head. The remaining 3 tried to attack but 2 more were killed brutally. The last remaining fainted but fell on a knife that was on the ground that was in an upright position by another thug laying there. The thug was alive and crawled away but he had a knife in his stomach. The Samurai looked at the thugs that were killed and he looked at their knives and he grabbed them to sell them. The thugs did lay some hits, which 2 only had passed through his armor. He walked back into town to do some "business".
Chapter 2: The Samurai
The samurai wasn't just a samurai. The samurai was a Shadow Samurai; the shadows were the evil which everyone feared. The light samurai were rare but very skilled. This shadow Samurai was exiled from the Shadow Clan, which was the area that everyone had feared. The samurai was born in 1172 and was a low-life. His parents were caught and killed. The samurai doesn't speak much about his past but only his sisters, Temari, and Rin, knew about his life. The samurai is known as Katsuro, and few knew that. He was living with his older sisters until Katsuro was taken from them at 5. He was trained as a samurai from that point in time. He was taken again at 9, and was trained as a Shadow Samurai, which he was till he was exiled by helping a girl that he knew since he was 16. It has been 7 years since then and Katsuro walked into town. He was known as the protector, and he was to the people. He helped them defeat the thugs, the raiders, and the barbarians. He was not a shadow samurai to them, but a friendly samurai which was rare. Katsuro removed his Samurai helmet and his black hair shined at first but then it stopped shining. Katsuro walked over to the brick smith to sell the knives he had collected. He saw one with a rare design and he kept it, as he sold the others for 233 pieces of gold. He started to limp after a thug stuck at him in the leg earlier. He walked to a cabin in the forest away from the town. He opened the door to see his wife (The girl he had known since he was 16) which had recently had three kids, two boys, and one girl. Katsuro smiled when he saw the kids, who were triplets, and were 5. They rushed past him to go play outside and Katsuro sighed and commented, "They're just growing too fast for me. I don't think they know Im their father" Akiko, the wife to Katsuro, laughed and replied, "You haven't been home as much, they've forgotten about you."
