Chapter One: Saving the Village Girls
Ayame and Kikiu were playing in the castles garden under a big Cherry tree. Ayame and Kikiu spun around and around singing silly songs. Kikiu's long black hair swung around as she spun. She was grown to be a beautiful enchanting princess. Lord Gohda and Master Sekyia were watching Ayame and his daughter from a distance. They were on the castle's porch talking about important news on what's going on in the realm. Lord Gohda sipped on a glass of Vodka as Sekyia spoke.
"Lord Gohda there is trouble in the realm?"
"What trouble Sekiya?"
"The Village girls have been kidnapped my lord. The farmer's complained that they have accepted a loan from Ecygohda that they couldn't repay. So to get his payment he hires thugs to steal there daughters and sell them as slaves to another realm."
"I must do something about this right away Sekyia. Send Ayame to execute the pig that did this and free the village girls!"
"Yes my Lord." Sekyia agrees and gets up off his chair. He walked down from the wooden porch and down a yellow brick path. Wild red roses grew on the sides of the path. Midway threw the path the rose bushes gave an opening out into the rest of the garden. He walked through the opening and into the open garden. There smack in the middle was Ayame and Kikiu swinging around in circles. Ayame turns around and sees Sekyia he looked to be in his mid fifty's. He wore a golden robe and had his sword around his belt. He also wore white socks and golden flip-flops a sign of royalty. Ayame stops swinging Kikiu. Kikiu turns around and sees Sekyia.
"Looks like another mission for you, Ayame?" she response She had been used to this routine for quite some time now. Every time Ayame had to save the world from total evil is when they were playing.
Sekyia walks up to them looking straight into Ayame's big brown eyes.
"Ayame, we have a bit of an emergency. The village girls have been kidnapped by Echigohda and his thugs. Looks like they have token the girls into the Scared Bamboo forest; you need to go there first. Then I need you to pay Ecygohda's son a little visit at Echigohda's easte."
"Yes Master Seykia I will leave right away."
"Ayame, don't leave me please."
"Sorry Princess but I have too. But I promise I will be back before you know it. See you later I need to take care of some business."
"Bye, Ayame." Kikiu and Seykia say as they waved her bye.
Ayame walks away and walks off the castle grounds. She walks into Azuma Village in order to get to the bamboo forest. The village was a nice size village little houses and shops were everywhere. By the little houses was a nice sized pound were villagers bathe, wash clothes, clean off their animals and fetch water. The water wasn't the cleanest water in the world but the villagers learned to make do of what they had. As she walked the streets were full of stay at home mothers with bags of fruit and rice, Young boys played ball in the streets. While young girls played Cinderella in there pretty kimonos. Some times Ayame wished that she was a normal girl playing with her friends. But since Rikimaru died a year ago all she felt was alone. Of course she had Kikiu, Lord Gohda and Sekyia to talk to. But it just didn't feel right she missed him the way he was all ways so serious about things. He was her master the head of the Azuma ninja and now he was gone.
'Rikimaru, if you are alive somewhere please make it back to me.'
After she got out of the village she saw acres and acres of farmland and lots of farm works tending to the crops and the farm animals. She then speed up to a run and ran on the dirt road. Her flip flops were collecting dirt but she ignored it and kept on going. She finds her self running until she reached a bamboo forest.
'This must be the place.' She thought to her self as she crept inside. She walked ten feet inside and finds that a boulder blocked her way inside. 'Damn it' she thought until she saw a hole at the bottom of the boulder big enough for her to crawl through. She bent down and crawled throw the tight hole. When she reached the end she didn't dare to come out. Above her was a wooden bridge and beside the Wodden Bridge was an archer. Ayame studies his pattern and then sneaks up on him and snaps his neck. The archer fell to the ground almost instantly. She whipped her swords in the guards clothing and hung off the wooden bridge. When she inched her self along the wooden bridge she saw a guard walking back and forth along the bridge. She could tell that the guard was tired of doing this so she easily studied his pattern. When the guard turned around and stretched she climbed up on the bridge and snipped his neck. She then crept along the bridge and saw a mindless guard below her. She crouched down so he would not she her on the snowy rock. When he just stood there not turning she quickly snapped his neck and quickly crouched down on the rock. Ten seconds later the other guard became alert of the dead body.
Fourtnelly for Ayame he quickly calmed down and cursed under his breath. As he was walking away she catches him off guard and snaps his neck. She then walks back to the wooden bridge and walks down. She saw a passage way under the bridge. She follows the passage into a small cave. She killed the guards in the cave with ease. Once out side the cave she was back into the forest again. She killed guards left and right until she reached the end of the forest. At the end of the forest was a small house, the house was not very fancy. A normal Japanese house, Ayame slid across the door to hear what was going on.
"No I am not ready!" The girl yells.
Ayame opens the door and sees a young Japanese woman looked to be in her twenties and a Japanese man with black spiky hair and an orange robe.
"Let the girl….go."
The girl ran out leaving Ayame alone with the man. The man rose to his feet and took out his gun. Ayame gave him a skeptical stare as he looks straight at her.
"Come back here, you owe Ecygohda damn it! He shouted towards the woman who ran. He gives Ayame a deadly glare. He was going to try to kill her in she knew it. She got into a defensive stance as he stars. You scared her and for that you will die."
Ayame flipped backwards to get outside so she would have room to fight. The guard runs towards her and charges at her. She avoids his attack and hits him in the stomach. He feels the pain rushing in his stomach. He ignored the pain and held his gun towards her.
"Fly baby!" He shots as he shoots at Ayame. Ayame flips and moves with such speed and grace to avoid the shots. He begins to get frusted so he charges at Ayame again and points the gun to her stomach; He was sure he would not miss this time. Before he fired Ayame moved so quickly away from the gun that his eyes tricked him in believing she was still there. While distracted for quick second she snuck behind him and double slashed him with her twin swords. Blood from his body poured all over her as he fell into the snow. She took her black tank top and wiped the blood from off her face the smell of death was so intoxating. She bent down and wiped his swords into his robe and placed them behind her back. She then began to cover his body with snow in order to purify his blood.
Ayame always believed that snow purifies the blood of a person's body. There was no surprise Ayame loved snow, loved the way if feel and the way it taste when it is made into ice-cream. That thought quickly remained her of Rikimaru it made small tears run down her cheeks. Rikimaru made the best snow ice cream and he gives her a big bowl full every time it snowed at the Village. She tried to make it like him but she never could make it just like his. His ice-cream always had that type of taste that would make you want to kill someone over it. She slowly gets up afterwards wiping the tears from her cheecks and starts to run in the direction of Ecygohda's Mansion.
I hope that this was a great first chapter for me! Please review so I can know weather or not it's interesting. Don't worry Rikimaru will be back soon. I us lay update really quick so keep checking back!
