A throwing knife collided with Cammie's blade and knocked her off balance. Ren quickly gets on top of her and pins her down by her wrists. Cammie blushes a little.
"Oh? What have we here?" She says to the boy who is a few inches away from her face.
"It's not what you think... I just... I just want to know what's going on." Ren says to Cammie, her red eyes looked closely into his.
"Is it really? Or is it something else?" She asks smirking.
"St-Stop It's-" Ren was cut off by the lips of the person he had been fighting. The shocked Ren looks down on Cammie. She quickly uses her knees to flip Ren off of her. Ren falls directly off of the Canyon wall.
"Ren!" Ari exclaims leaping across the canyon in the direction of her
friend. Cammie appears infront of her and brutally knees her in the
stomach.
"Tragic, isn't it? You two came from all this way... just to lose?"
Cammie says crossing her arms. "And to think atleast one of you would
put up a fight." She finishes as mutiple samurai surround the two.
"Ari..." Ren says barely managing to keep conciousness while crawling
over to his injured friend. He eventually reaches her and he lies
beside her.
"Ren... I love you." Ari's voice was cut off by the sound of a blade
and blood flying into the air. Ren holds Ari's hand tight.
"No..." He says under his breath. The memories of his childhood began
rushing back into his head. It was about eleven years ago when they
first met. Ren was strolling through the amber woods like anyother day
until a small little girl dressed in a black gi about the same age as
him fell from the trees. Her red hair was covered in leaves. Ren
quickly goes over to the girl and helps her up.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asks nicely. The girl looks up at Ren,
"Y-Yeah." She says.
"Hi, I'm Ren." He says holding out his hand.
"I'm Ari." She replies shaking his hand.
"And I'm unamused." A deep man's voice echoed throughout the woods. A
tall man suddenly appears in between of the two. The man had large
pants that expanded greatly at the leg spots. He wore sandals and a
white gi, his hair was in a ponytail with one bang barely over his
left eye.
"Whoa! What are you?" Ren asks in amazement.
"I believe you mean, who? I am Tsung of the Bonari clan." The man says.
"What?" Ren asks.
"We're ninjas." Ari answers.
"Oh!" Ren bows, "Can you please teach me some techniques?
Pleeeaasseee?" Ren asks looking up and smiling. Tsung does not react.
Ren gets on his tiny hands and knees and begs, "Please, I want to be
able to protect what's left of my family." Ren begs while staring at
the ground. Tsung raises a brow and the wing kicks up, the three
vanish.
They reappear inside of a canyon of somesort. Suddenly five samurai
charge at Tsung. He grabs one's wrist and snaps it the crashes him
into the ground. Then roundhouse kicks two about twenty meters away.
He then disappears dodging the two other samurai's attacks. He
reappears behind the two and smashes their heads together. "Let's
begin." he says as they drop to the ground.
"You're a bad guy... right?" A young girls voice says behind Tsung. He
turns around to see another samurai but a rather short one, almost the
same hieght as Ren and Ari. She was holding a katana but shaking in
fear.
"You lack skill... Although I can see determination to actually become
something in your eyes. She swings with all her might at Tsung but he
steps to the side slowly and she loses balance. She tries again and
gets the same results. She falls to the ground in shame. Tsung kneels
down and pulls off her helmet revealing the girl's redhair. He then
steps back and turns away. Ren walks over to her.
"You're beautiful." Ren whispers to her, She giggles.
"Come now you three, Let us train, but only so much will be taught to
the others." Tsung says.
Tears began to fill Ren's eyes as he realizes who he had been fighting
was. He looks back at Ari who begins to close her eyes slowly. Ren
struggles to stand up but as he takes one step an arrow is fired at
him. The first one pierces his left shoulder. He continues to walk in
the direction of Cammie. Several arrows are fired at Ren's torso, arms
and legs. Once he reaches Cammie, he leans in and whispers.
"You're beautiful..." He then falls to the ground barely concious.
Cammie blushes a little then a shock expression comes onto her face.
"You're that boy that was with me that day!" Cammie looks at Ari, "And
that must be the girl." Ren looks at Cammie unable to move any body
parts.
"Why did you kill Tsung?" He asks.
"This sword is a sign of Honor and power among the Bonari and Nijori.
Cammie looks at the Master's sword. "The wielder would be claimed the
strongest among the clans of Asaloi." Cammie then looks down. "But as
I was fighting him it seemed he had been holding back." Before the
battle when we clashed swords we had fought an earlier one during the
siege. I had killed so many Bonari on my pathway to the grand doors. I
teleported inside and there he was waiting for me..."
"This is not what I intended for you to use your techinques for." Tsung said.
"Eh, Cold world I guess." Cammie shrugs then she bows. "Care to spar,
Master Tsung?" She asks impatiently rushing at the man who stood there
calmly. The floor quickly shot up fire where Cammie was. She teleports
short distances constantly doging the fire eruptions. She kicks the
man in his shin and punchs for his face. Tsung catches her fist and
tosses her back. Cammie quickly summons two electric swords wielding
then in different hands.
"Oh?" Tsung says slightly surprised. "So that's where tweleve of our
most prized scrolls went. Even Ari hadn't been taught those
techniques." Tsung shouts.
"Well there's a sign of your bad parenting." Cammie says running in
the direction of Tsung. She slashes and an electric bolt is shot at
Tsung, he quickly jumps to the side but Cammie reappears next to him
and kicks him down onto the floor. She lands and shoves her blades
into the ground electrifying the entire floor. Tsung creates a thick,
massive fog inside of the room. Cammie's blades disappear and she
claps her hands clearing the entire room of fog.
"No sign of Sensei..." Cammie says creating a flaming sword and
holding it reversed behind her back. Suddenly the floor shakes and a
rock dome is formed around Cammie.
"Stop this nonsense!" Tsung exclaims as he appears at the doors.
"Heh... When you're dead." Cammie says as the two disappear from the
room. They soon reappear infront of the southern entrance of the
village.
"I can't quite put my finger on it... but it's like he wanted me to beat him,"
Cammie sighs, "It's like he wanted me to beat him."
"I hope you're happy." Ren says slowly as his as close. He can hear
several voices fighting and what seems like hours later he opens his
eyes. He looks up to see a pair of sapphire eyes staring back at his.
"So, Mr. Sleepyhead finally decides to wake up." A young girl's voice said.
