Silver Ronin

Phase of Silver– 'Torn Ripples'

I followed behind him silently without a clue as to where we would be heading. So badly did I want to ask him of who he was – could he truly be this 'Silver Ronin' my father had spoken of? Sure, he carried alongside him a black blade, but it could be anyone. This silent, silver haired ronin might as well have been nothing more than a simple man who happened by.

…And yet the question remained. Just who was he? What was his name?

"Uh, excuse me," I remember finally asking him, "Is there any name I should call you by?"

He was quiet for a time, still walking ahead as we turned onto the main street; filled with softly burning lanterns, the smells of late night sake and baking goods, accompanied by the swift patters of straw sandals and voices of light chatter amongst the people, "Call me what you wish, Onnanoko, I do not mind."

"Anything you say? And you won't mind what I think to call you?" Giving a simple nod, I proceeded with the name I thought would suit him, "I'll call you-" The sudden bump of a broad male into my person made me take a step back. I remember the jolt of fear that consumed me as I saw the deathly red over coat and horribly black kimono, the dark cascade of hair contrasted perfectly with the ruby gems he had for eyes.

Before me, on that same day stood Dokusupaidaa' Ronin, Naraku.

He had given me quite the fright on that busy night of the full moon. If it had not been for my being unarmed and in the center of such a bustling street, I would have fought him right then and there – probably, now that I give it thought, I might have died if I tried to raise a sword to him, though a Miko I may be, Holy Powers could rarely be used as a combat skill or less, a weapon. How helpless I was back then.

Well, that is, until I learned more and more about my dear, dear Touga.
