Chapter 7-The Deal
"Hey, thanks for saving me back there, I owe you one" said Wes "You don't owe me anything Wes, I just wanted you to be safe" said Danek "No please I insist, if it wasn't for you Dash would still be owning me and this place like it was his." said Wes "Well, I'm sure I can think of something" smiles Danek (Master Green walks over) "Danek my boy, I humbly thank you for saving my daughter, Dash has been a problem for quite some time and I've been meaning to get rid of him for a while now, I only wish I had done sooner" said Master Green "Your welcome, Master Green, in all honesty I'd do anything to protect Wes" said Danek "And I thank you for that, Danek, please come join us for dinner as a reward for saving my beloved daughter" said Master Green "I would love to" said Danek.
...Danek had joined me and my father for dinner, as a reward for saving me, which is kind of silly since I can take care of myself. But all and all it wasn't that bad, sure my dad had given me a talk about my manners, and Danek a thing or two about letting a woman stand up for him, but he and Danek got along really well and that was good enough for me...
(later after dinner) " Hey Wes, wait up" said Danek "What is it, Danek" said Wes "let's just say I thought of a way for you to pay me back" said Danek "Go on?" smiled Wes "You let me teach you how to use a Samurai sword" said Danek "Shhhh, Danek you know women aren't allowed to be samurai" whispered Wes "Who said anything about being a Samurai, I'm just teaching you how to use the sword, technically you can't get in trouble for just using the sword" whispered Danek also "well, there are women warriors, but around here there all archers, no one would ever believe it" said Wes "Who ever said anything about telling anyone" said Danek "Danek, I know your my father's favorite right now and he trusts you, but he'll never let me do this" stated Wes "Then we won't tell him, look do you want to do this or not?" said Danek (thinking for a moment) "sighs.. I'm probably going to regret this, but yeah, I'm in" said Wes.
Chapter 8: The Lesson
... later that night me and Danek snuck out of are rooms and into the training area, where I had my first lesson...
"Tell me why I'm doing this again?" said Wes "because I've seen how you watch, the other students train, and it looks like you've been taking notes" said Danek "true but, I'm pretty sure actually using the sword is totally different" said Wes "you have no idea, now let's begin with lesson one holding the sword" said Danek.
... Danek was right, using the sword was a totally different feeling, but I got used to it, and Danek said I was getting pretty good with each lesson. It felt good doing something that my father didn't approve of , it gave me this sense of freedom that I never had before, even when my mom was alive. I was finally doing what I always dreamed of becoming, a Samurai...
"Thanks for the lesson again, Danek" said Wes "No problem Wes, just doing what feels right. Oh, and before I forget (runs over and grabs box) I heard your birthday was coming soon so I got you a early birthday present" said Danek (Wes opens the box and finds a cool blue geisha outfit with a silver dragon on it) "Wow, thanks Danek, but seriously, a geisha outfit?" said Wes "I modified it so you could use it during training, see it's shorter and has a cape that goes down from the waist, think of it kinda as a uniform of practice" said Danek "Oh, that's so sweet of you Danek, thank you, no one has ever been that nice to me before" says Wes as she hugs Danek "Your welcome, Wes , happy birthday" says Danek.
