Chapter 2

In the forest
Lukram walked down the dark forest path, deep in thought, 'One seat was empty today, that one had a malevolent feeling to it, I have felt it before, what is that aura?'
A shrill scream came from father up the path, the scream sounded terrified 'Maybe that's what caused the aura?' Speeding up to investigate he swiftly closed in on the forest clearing, showing a short, blond-haired girl standing above an unconscious girl with pink hair, while a tall girl with green hair pinned her sister to a tree by her shirt.
"What do you think you are doing to these girls?", he asked, reaching over his shoulder with one hand.
"What does it matter to you, boya?", the blond snapped.
"These two girls were in my new class today, and I'm not going to let you harm them", Lukram stated, narrowing his eyes.
"Master, shall I dispose of the boy?", the green-haired girl asked.
"Just do it quickly Chachamaru", the blond answered sounding bored.
Chachamaru let go of the girl and sped over towards Lukram intending to land a punch in his jaw, but it didn't connect, instead she saw a blade had blocked it with ease, the blade being held lazily but still firmly held, "Not good enough cyborg, my turn", he mocked before punching her faster then her programming could process, she was sent flying past the blond, hitting the tree behind her with enough force force to crack the thick trunk, narrowly missing the blond.
"W-Who the hell are you!?", the blond stammered out.
"Lukram Handsa. The Samurai who puts an end to supernatural forces", he replied his eyes turning pitch black with a red spot in each eye.
Her eyes widened, "You have got to be kidding me! THE Spirit Blade! Here!", she shouted.
"So, even you have heard of my reputation", he chuckled.
"Chachamaru! Evacuate!", she said to her robot servant before disappearing into the woods.
Lukram walked over to the two pink-haired twins, the unconscious one had just awoken, "You two okay?", he asked.
Two nervous nods answered his question, "Spirit Blade? Just who are you?", the twin with buns in her hair asked.
"Back in England, where I was born, I got a reputation through slaughtering all sorts of creatures such as; vampire, werewolf, ghost, etc. After awhile I started being called 'The Spirit Blade' it just sort of stuck", he replied, "By the way, who are you?".
"Students 22 and 23 from your class, Fuka and Fumika Narutaki, two thirds of the walking club", they answered happily, "Your really awesome, you know!".
"Where are you staying?", Fuka asked.
"Do you have your own house?", Fumika continued.
"Nowhere right now, why do you ask?", he inquired.
"Why not stay with us then? We have a spare bed in our room", Fuka explained.
"We will need to ask Kaede to see if it's okay with her", Fumika reminded her twin.
"She will say 'yes', she can train with him, he's so strong!", Fuka reassured Fumika.
This continued the whole way to their room, going back and forth. After a few minuets of this he tuned them out and started compiling a mental folder for each girl. 'Fuka is the more active one and Fumika is the more relaxed one'.
Dorm Building
As soon as they arrived outside their room, Fuka knocked on the door while Fumika firmly attached to his right arm, Fuka moved back and latched onto his left arm. The door opened to reveal a tall, green-haired girl in garbs.
"Fuka, Fumika, why are you so late? Why is the new boy here?", Kaede asked.
"Sorry Kaede. We were walking when we were attacked, Lukram here arrived and saved us, so we offered to room him here!", Fuka answered.
'So this is student 20 Kaede Nagase' he thought.
"What do you say Kaede, can he stay?", Fuka and Fumika begged.
"It could be fun", she mused, "Why not? Welcome to the club!", she exclaimed.
Walking into the apartment, the first thing he noticed was that it reminded him somewhat of the Ninjitsu shrine he studied at for a while at in England.
Apart from that, the place looked normal, fair sized living room, complete with display cabinets on Ninjitsu weapons, decent kitchen, complete with a few burn marks, bathroom and two bedrooms.
"One is the bedroom, the other is a storage/ training room", Kaede explained, "For you see I am a Ni...".
"I know", he interrupted, "Your a Ninja, so am I", he smirked.
"How?", she asked.
"It's obvious, I could tell when we met in the classroom. Don't worry, if your not a Ninja it's near impossible to tell", he reassured her.
She visibly relaxed, upon hearing this, "So, where do I sleep?", he asked.
"In the bedroom. The left set of bunk beds are the twins, Fuka on the top, The set at the far wall are ours. I have the bottom bunk, so you can have the top", she replied.
"It's getting late, I'm going to sleep", Lukram said before going into the bathroom to get changed.
-3:41am-
Lukram woke up to numbness running through his upper body, 'I always woke up at this time of the morning to start training', he thought, 'so why are my arms numb?'.
Looking down, all he could see was pink hair, blocking the view of who, or what, was on him, "Aww, how cute", spoke a soft, mature voice. Looking to his right, he saw Kaede, smiling at him with her usual foxy grin.
"That sometimes happens to me, it happens when they are feeling scared or worried", she explained, "Comfy?".
"My arms are completely numb", he dead-panned.
"Comes with the territory I'm afraid", she chuckled, "You'll get used to it".
"How do I move them? I get up around now to train", he asked, "I don't want to disturb them".
"You can't", she dead-panned, "You just have to lay their and put up with it until they wake up, trust me, they get grumpy if woken up in the morning by anything else but an alarm clock".
"Great", he replied sarcastic.
Kaede moved to sit at the end of his bed, "So, if I asked you something about yourself, would you answer?".
Lukram's eyes narrowed, "Depends, what is it you want to know?".
"Why would an English born Ninja be doing here in Japan? In an all girls school of all places", she replied hesitantly.
"It's...complicated. After training as a Ninja for four years in England under a Grand Master Ninja, I realised that Ninjitsu can't protect you and those you want or need to keep safe. At that point I looked around and studied to find something else to help me protect my loved ones...well what are left of them", he started.
"That's so s...", Kaede tried to say.
"I found a Grand Master Swordsman and trained under him for a whole year", he continued as if she hadnt spoken, "but it turned out he wasn't what he said he was, he was only average. That gave me a whole year of basic training, so I looked around and decided to travel to Japan to train from real masters. I graduated from their training two years later, at age 9".
"Mind if I ask you a question?", she nodded, "Why did you choose to become a Ninja?".
"Because I was weak at one point and a paid dearly for it", she replied, "I became a Ninja not only for the offensive advantage but for the stealth, so I'm never caught again".
"What about you? From what you told me, you started training in Ninjitsu at age 2", she asked.
"That's...harder to explain, I'm going back to sleep, I'll tell you tomorrow", he replied.
"Okay, night", she replied.
"Night", he said.
