Loud brutal knocks were heard against the door of the local inventors house as shouts of men were followed after those knocks. "I'll only give you one chance to open door old man!" a gruff voice commanded out in the dark surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the townsfolk behind him who anxiously hurried to their homes after seeing the man.
Inside of the house the older man hurried gathering all sorts of different things with his wife behind him guiding their young triplets behind them who sleepily followed their mother.
"Hurry, hide the girls before those ruffians open the door!" The man ordered his wife who gave a nod. She then kneeled down and slid open a floor board and gave each one of her daughters a tight hug and placed them into their hiding spot.
She then stopped at the oldest with auburn hair she pushed back a strand of her beautiful straight red hair behind her ear. The woman gave her a wry smile with tears in her eyes threatening to spill out as she pulled her into a hug knowing that this may be the last time she hugged her daughter and then another knock came from the door. The mother gripped onto her daughter shoulder and looked into her pink eyes her grip growing stronger with each lingering moment "Keep your sister's safe," she said her voice cracking at the end as she placed her daughter in the hole and her husband then put the assortment of items with them. The girl stayed looking up at the floorboard above her as her sister's fell back asleep, while she waited attentively for her parents to come it was just another game, right?
As soon as the woman placed the floor board back in place the door was forced open.
The man before them grinned at them with a little glint in his dark green eyes just like a predator about to toy with his prey. "So glad to see you alive and," he stopped for a moment as he looked down at them pitifully "healthy."
"Why are you here? Especially at this hour at this my daughters-"
"Would you like me to cut to the chase? Very well then, you are to be executed for treason against his imperial majesty-"
"He has done no such thing you miscreant!" The woman shouted at the man.
"Hold your tongue wench!" The man shouted back and then turned toward the inventor. "I would advise you to watch how this woman talks to men. I was about to say unless you decide to accept the offer I made to you earlier."
The woman then looked up to the man a fiery rage in her eyes "You devil! That's what this is about isn't it you-you-"
Then in one swift movement of the man's blade the woman was hushed and fell against the floor.
The man groaned as one of the guards seized the inventor. "I'll get right to it before any more blood has to spill you will become my slave or else I'll be forced to kill the rest of your family."
"No," the man said weakly.
"Yes," the man said nodding his head. "I'll give you five seconds to reply. 5, 4-"
"I'll do it just please spare my daughter's," the inventor said meekly.
"I'll hold up my end of the bargain as long as you do. Now take him away and get him situated," the guards nodded and took away the inventor.
"And you two get rid of the corpse we'll blame it on those vigilantes who have been going on a killing spree."
"But sir the vigilantes, they only kills corrupted-"
"That's enough do you want to end up like that thing on the floor!"
"N-no sir, I apologize for speaking out so rashly"
"I thought so, you should feel thankful that I'm such a merciful man. Now hurry I don't feel like spending a moment more with the vermin here."
Then the man and the guards left leaving the three girls alone in the now silent house. After a few moments longer the floor board was pushed away and the pack of items flew up onto the floor and little hands were on the edges and soon one of the little girls with jade eyes emerged followed by the girl with pink eyes and they both leaned down to help their youngest sister with baby blue colored eyes.
The eldest looked down to her two younger sisters and then a door slid open and appeared a women clad in tight clothing not like the traditional kimonos most women wore. She clenched her hand and looked down "I was too late," she said angrily. This woman was a former lover of the inventor and also a thing of legend. A ninja.
The woman then looked down at the triplets and let out a light sigh. "It's time that I fulfill that old promise," she said leaning down to the three girls.
And that's the story on how we were brought here. The story that had began a new story, on how my sisters and I trained to become ninjas which would develop into another much greater story that we and all of Japan were unprepared for.
We were trained in the ways of the shinobi and at times we had all wanted to quit one thing kept us going; the need for justice to be put upon the man who killed our mother and kidnapped our father. The woman who keeps us under her wing; Lady Bellum, an honorable and extremely famous woman who left the Geisha community to raise us, but still works as a ninja. She had told us the man who killed our father is most likely someone of higher class a successful merchant possibly, an honored samurai, or even the emperor himself who sent someone to do his dirty. Either way we will bring the man who did this to justice and be it by our hands one day...
"Haha!" One little boy shouted as he snatched away a little girl's doll. "This doll is so stupid why do you even have it?" The boy said teasingly as he raised the doll above her as the girl jumped to get it.
"No she isn't, just stop it!" The girl shouted as she tried jumping to get back her doll.
The boy then pivoted around keeping his little sneer on the girl, but then in a flash the doll disappeared from the boy's hands.
Then a girl dressed in blue with spiraling pig tail appeared with a doll in her hands.
"Here you go sweet heart," she said handing the doll back to the girl who stood awe struck at the older girl. "You should try holding on to that a bit tighter," she said giving the girl a wink.
"Bubbles we have to go!" another girl shouted out to the girl.
"Coming!" She shouted back and then smiled at the girl before she ran to the other girls.
"Seriously Bubbles you shouldn't do things like that you might reveal yourself!" One girl said shaking her head back and forth.
"Oh, relax Blossom they were just kids," The girl with short choppy black hair said.
"We need to take these things more seriously though this is the day we become real ninjas."
