Fairest of Them All
Act 1: The "Destined" Battles? :
Kai Narita, a 20 yr old female Samurai with red, black & gold dress, holds onto a raggedy, old parchment while facing her enemy¾a golden armored, female ninja holding twin navy-blue daggers.
Kai (sighs): Dammit Nene…What do you want now?
Nene: I thought I fired you along with all of Hideyoshi's other courtesans!
Kai: I guess, when it comes to me, Lord Hideyoshi still wanted more. (gives lustful look to Nene)
Nene: I think you need a spanking, young lady!
Kai (shakes her head): I maybe younger than you, Nene, but you'll soon see I'm a lot tougher than I look.
Suddenly, a shadow came from behind Nene, a shadow of Hideyoshi comes in hugging Nene. Kai soon becomes furious…
Kai: Yah!
Kai takes out her sword, the Serpent Chain, & whips it out. Nene uses her twun daggers to lash at the sword; Hideyoshi then stands in front of Nene, defending her with his golden bo staff… then they hear hissing.
Nene: What is that noise?
All 3 listen in until…
Kai: You idiots! Look out!
They jump out of the way & the area was covered in smoke; when the smoke vanished, Hideyoshi disappears & a lady in all purple & holding claws & a bomb stares at Nene & Kai.
Lady: I hope you didn't think I wouldn't be part of this battle.
Nene (gasps): Lady Noh! (bows quickly)
Lady Noh: Do you really think Hojo's little bitch could take you? Better yet, do you think any Lord would want a kid? Heh, not even Shibata would want her!
Kai looks down & clenches her sword tightly, trying to hide her emotions & her doubts.
Nene: But, my Lady, she's just a child. I'd never hurt a child!
Lady Noh: Hmmmm…
Lady Noh juggles one of her bombs nonchalantly .
Lady Noh: Nene… poor, motherly, dense Nene. You don't want me to blow up Hideyoshi … do you?
Nene (gasps): No I-
Lady Noh: Then let us see if you're willing to get yourself dirty.
Hideyoshi then uses his staff to trip Noh long enough to guard Nene.
Hideyoshi: You're the only one besides me who can watch over our sons; besides you're the only one that cooks.
Nene blushes while Lady Noh launches another bomb at the couple, but Kai uses her sword to swing it to the other side of the forest.
