Ch.2: wake up samurai
"ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" another faceless samurai's blood covered the dirt road. Mitsurugi sighed for the weak challanger put up little resistance. "Is there no one who will show some spirit! am I forced to cut down weakling after weakling for the rest of my life!" his only response was the sound of soft walking. Mitsurugi turned slowly, blade still drawn, to face a young man, hair pulled back in a ponytail, his face hidden by the moonless night, wearing some sort of vest. "Heishiro Mitsurugi, you're well known for your attempt to find soul edge." the shadowed man said. "And are your here for my head why? is it for honor, money?" Mitsurugi responded. "Of coarse not. for someone who searched for soul edge and lived. I only wish for a good fight." " and to get information on soul edge." the shadowed man laughed. " I guess thats what makes you a renowned fighter. yes, my name is Azukai. Fight or may history forget you," Mitsurugi didn't need a second warning, ready to end it in one strike, he raised his sword Shishi-oh as Azukai ran to strike the Ronin. Mitsurugi swung downward as Azukai raised his right arm in defense. ' it will be cut off.' was Mitsurugi's thought as the blade was about to make contact...
Ting. Mitsurugi lookod at what could stop the bone cutting power of Shishi-oh. a blade he didn't notice was attached to Azukai's arm guard. "hmm, surprise." was Mitsurugi's only remark. "If you like that, how's this." Azukai saidas he pressed down on his arm guard. Mitsurugi felt what seemed like a new found strength in the warrior and jumped back. when he looked back at Azukai to see the boy's blade pointed outward. "You are just full of surprises aren't you." Mitsurugi responded. Azukai just leaned forward to strike, this time his blade ready to cut Mitsurugi down. Azukai stoped when Mitsurugi looked to the side and up and fallowed his gaze. Up on the wall was a women in a red bodysuit. To any other man this sight would have there eyes linger at her figure, but the two male fighters this was another wielder of blades. "you again, Don't you know when to stop." Mitsurugi shouted to the female warrior. "Not till your blood haas stained the ground." was her respond. Azukai annoyed by this interference shouted " You will wait until our fight has detirmend a winner. so if you would, turn around and leave!" "Insolent boy I will be the one to kill Mitsurugi, those in my way will be cut down." the woman jumped and stuck her heel out in order to stop Azukai in one dropped. when she hit the ground dirt was kicked up creating a cloud. "How did I mi-" Before she could finish her sentence she was Knocked back and hit the wall. 'He kicked me. this is no ordinary fighter.' she thought. then she noticed a shimmer coming from a blade in the dirt cloud. reacting out of instinct she rolled to the side and jumped on the wall. she looked down. the cloud dispirsed and revealed Azukai. his right fist embedded in the wall and his blade were the woman's neck once was. she almost died 'this I'll be killed if I stick around' . Azukai relizing she wasn't dead looked up at her. the woman shouted "the name is Taki, we will fight again." and jumped into the night.
Azukai sighed 'damn she might have information.' his thoughts were inturupted by clapping. Azukai turened and took a defensive position. " impressive, you scared that bothersome ninja away." Mitsurugi announced, his katana in his sheath. Azukai didn't move. "for us to continue this fight would be dishonarable, for it was disrupted." Azukai could sense he didn't wish to fight and lowered his arms. "Now about that information." Mitsurugi said "tell me about any other warriors who tried to find soul edge." Mitsurugi smiled understanding Azukai's motives.
The next day some cargo was being loaded on a boat to be sent to another country. when the cargo deck was vaccent of people one of the barrels started to open. The lid flew off to reveal Azukai." I...Hate...the...smell...of...cabbage." he said while dusting off his fur vest. he got out and looked out a window high up the wall sticking his blade in the wall so not to fall. it seemed peacefull at the docks until he heard someone scream. trying to locate the origin of the scream he saw a man holding a sword cutting down anyone who got in his way as he comendered a boiat and sailed off. Azukai chuckled and said " oh man. I'm responcible for that. I just know I am." and went into his hiding spot to wait until he hit land.
