Kamiya dojo; in Tokyo; 1 assistant master, master died a couple years ago. The assistant master happens to be the daughter of the former-master her name is Kaoru Kamiya. Taught by her father in their sword style, Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. Today she sat on the outside of the dojo in a blue kimono with a white obi, reading a newspaper. "Hmm.." The newspaper read:
/More crimes including rape and violent raids happened in Kyoto yesterday. S.O.U has members there however they cannot cover the whole area. S.O.U is asking for more members, you must be experienced with a (real) sword, a man, at least 21 years of age, and be willing to perform at any point of the week. [24/7] For more information or to join please come to S.O.U HQ, located in Kyoto...\
Kaoru stopped reading and jumped up from her spot, "I've got to help them!" Then she re-read the paper, /must be a man 21 years of age...\ she slumped down. "And I have to use a real sword..."
*Flashback Kaoru age 10; Father alive*
"Daddy?" Kaoru walked into the dojo where her father was training with a shinai.
"Yes?" He said putting the shinai down and holding it against the floor.
She walked over to him, looking confused about something. "Why does our sword style use a wooden or bamboo sword? Shouldn't we use a real sword?"
Her father simply laughed. "Perhaps. But I want our style to hold on until a new future begins where war will end and they were be no or minimal crimes."
Kaoru nodded, "but what if... We need to use a real sword?" He shook his head, "you shouldn't need to hold a real sword."
Kaoru continued, "but what if..." He smiled, "I think that's enough questions for one day..."
*End Flashback*
'I need to find a way...' Kaoru instantly thought of one man she knew he might be able to help her. "Kamatari!" She shouted before she ran out of the dojo's gate.
***
After Kaoru explained her predicament to Kamatari he looked more confused then ever. "I see... But I don't understand why you would come to me..." Kaoru looked at the floor, "well I..." Kamatari giggled, "nevermind. Hmm... First we'll have to find some manly clothes for you, one that will cover your breasts." Kaoru blushed slightly and nodded. "Don't worry. I know you would be embarrassed if you went in a store and bought manly clothes so I'll go for you. I think I can tell what your size is, since we where the same sized kimono's. "Thank you so much, Kamatari! I... don't have much money though..." Kamatari smiled, "tell you what... I've been wanting one of your kimonos so give it to me and I'll call it even." Kaoru nodded, that sounded fair.
A half-hour later Kamatari came back to his house with a whole bunch of clothes. "Woah!" Kaoru yelled when he dumped them all on her. Kamatari jumped from one leg to the other, "Go try some on!" Kaoru came out dressed in a hakama and a blue gi with a white undershirt on it that was loose so it looked like she didn't have breasts. Kamatari smiled, "now your starting to look like a man. Now for your hair..." Kaoru frowned, "are you going to cut it?" Kamatari shook his head, "no I have an idea." After much tugging and pulling on her hair Kamatari took a step back to admire his work. Half her hair on the right side covered her face and eye, so you could only see her left side of her face. Then Kamatari pulled her hair on the left side, in the back, in a low ponytail. "Your eyes are too big to be a mans and your eyelashes are too long..." Kaoru sighed, she knew it was true. "Hmm... glasses?" Kamatari suggested, "that way your eyes will only look big because of your glasses."
***
"Megumi-san!" Kaoru called. "Oh hello- AH!" Megumi screamed when she saw Kaoru, her eye started twitching, "Kaoru did you steal a man's clothes and didn't know it?" Kaoru glared at her angrily, "...no." Kamatari then told Megumi what Kaoru was trying to do and that see needed glasses. "Hmm... You'll need un-prescription glasses so they don't hurt your eyes and I don't have them. Here..." Megumi writes something on a piece of paper and hands it to Kaoru. "Go there. They should have something for you. Please, before you leave come here and say goodbye to Ayame and Suzume." Megumi pleaded. Kaoru nodded and smiled, "of course."
