The Shinobi Saga
The Will to Fight
by Zedrick
Groaning, the man stood up. His limbs were sore and his mind was in disarray. He looked at himself.
He was barechested, and wearing torn red pants. He looked at his arms and saw broken chains.
"What? How did these get here?" he said to himself. He then gazed up to examine his surroundings.
He was in a forest. That was all he knew. The air was brisk, but he didn't feel cold. He began to walk off,
trying to find his way out of the forest.
Soon, he began to feel exhausted and decided to take a rest. He tried to sort out all the confusion in his
mind, but with little luck. Suddenly, he heard low growls.
He looked at the source of the sound and saw six sets of glowing yellow eyes. Wolves.
Though he was confused, he knew the wolf pack's intent. He got and stared at the wolves, they in turn, returned
his gaze. Suddenly, one of the wolves came running at him.
The wolf was leaping at him now, baring its savage canine maw. Instinctively, the man threw a punch at it. The
wolf went flying 25 feet into a tree. The rest of the pack was now attacking as well. He immediately smacked down
another wolf with a drop kick as it leapt at him. He spotted the third wolf coming from the right. He bided his
time and waited for the wolf to leap. When it did, he grabbed the wolf by it's head and tossed it into a tree.
He looked around to see where the others were. Suddenly, he felt the weight of a wolf on his back. He quickly
tossed the wolf over and kicked it in it's stomach, then he kicked it again, sending it sprawling away.
Now, he could see the two last wolves attacking at the same time. Just when they were about to maul him, he grabbed
both of their heads in mid-air and smashed them together. Now, he could see the first wolf limp off, the others
following it.
The man sighed as he slumped to the ground again.
"Wow, that was impressive." came a voice.
The man jerked his head around, trying to determine the source of the voice. He saw a young girl with long flowing
brunette hair. On the top of her head, she wore a pink hairband.
"Who are you?" asked the man.
"Who am I? Who are you?" replied the girl.
"......."
"Oh fine then, be that way. Like I said, that was pretty good the way you drove off the wolves." said the girl.
"Where am I?" asked the man.
"What? you don't know? You're in Germany." answered the girl.
"Germany?!" exclaimed the man.
"Yeah, Germany. Hey, you seem like you're really out of it. How about you come with me? Besides, you're bleeding."
said the girl.
The man looked at his bare shoulder. It had a gash that extended down into his back.
"What's your name?" asked the man.
"It's Hitomi." answered the girl.
"Hitomi? that's a Japanese name isn't it?" asked the man.
"Sure is. Now what's your name?" asked Hitomi.
"........"
"Oh come on! I told you mine! What, do you have a dumb name or something?" exclaimed the Hitomi.
"I....I don't know." replied the man.
"Wow, you're really out of it." replied the Hitomi. The man just glared at her.
"Oh never mind. You coming with me or not?" asked Hitomi. The man nodded as he struggled to stand up.
"I'll help you." said Hitomi as she walked up to him. She then tore off a piece of her clothing and bandaged him.
"Thank you." said the man.
"No problem. Hey, there's something written on this chain bracer you're wearing. It says 'Ein'" replied Hitomi.
The man looked at his bracer.
"Is that your name or something? I think it mean 'one' in German or something." remarked Hitomi. "Hey, should I call
you 'number one'?"
"Ein. Call me Ein." replied the man.
"Alright then, Ein. By the way, why are you wearing chains? You got some kinda fetish or something?" asked Hitomi.
Ein just glared at her.
"Oh fine then. Let's go." said Hitomi.
Soon they were at some kind of large establishment.
"Alright, we're here." said Hitomi.
"Here?" asked Ein.
"Yeah, this is where I live." replied Hitomi.
"Strange." remarked Ein.
"What do you mean strange? You making fun of me?" asked Hitomi.
"No, it just doesn't look like a place for a young girl to live." answered Ein.
"Young girl? Why the hell not? It's a dojo!" exclaimed Hitomi.
"A dojo?" asked Ein.
"Yeah, a dojo. Y'know, where people learn to fight. My father teaches there." replied Hitomi.
"You fight?" asked Ein.
"Of course. What? you don't think a girl can fight?" said Hitomi. Suddenly, an image of a young girl in blue
flashed in Ein's head.
"What's the matter?" asked Hitomi.
"Nothing." replied Ein. Suddenly, Ein spotted a middle aged man running up to them.
"Hitomi! You're bleeding!" cried the man. Hitomi looked at her shirt and realized that Ein's bleeding was
seeping into her clothes as well.
"And your clothing is torn. What happened?! Did this man rape you you?!" exclaimed the man.
"What?! rape? No! Where did you get that notion from?!" cried Hitomi, her cheeks growing red.
"Then what happened to you?!" asked the man, still not calming down.
"He was attacked by wolves." answered Hitomi.
"You were attacked by wolves?" asked the man.
"No, dad. He was attacked by wolves." replied Hitomi.
Hiromi's father was calming down now.
"So you're alright?" asked Hitomi's father.
"Embarressed, yes. But I'm alright. You need to get this guy some medical attention. I'll explain the whole thing to
you later." said Hitomi.
"Alright." replied Hitomi's father. Then they both carried Ein off.
Ein was lying in a bed. Around him was Hitomi and her father. Ein quickly sat up.
"Easy there. You lost alot of blood." said Hitomi's father. "So, Hitomi tells me you drove off a wolf pack?"
"Yes." replied Ein.
"And was it true that you sent it flying 25 feet?" asked Hitomi's father.
"I don't know." answered Ein.
"The doctor says you seem to have suffered some form of amnesia." Hitomi chimed in.
"You may stay here for a while until your memory come back." said Hitomi's father.
"I owe you my thanks." said Ein.
"No problem at all." replied Hitomi's father. "Now, about that 25 feet, would you care to demonstrate it?"
"Dad! he's not well." cried Hitomi.
"It's alright. I'm fine." said Ein.
"Very well then, if you'll follow me please." said Hitomi's father. Ein got up and walked away with Hitomi's father.
"Hey! what about me!?" yelled Hitomi to their backs. "Darn it."
Ein was in the outdoor's sparring room now, and so was everybody else. The other students at the school were
standing at the side, waiting to see the spectacle. Hitomi was among them but she was standing with some girls.
"Wow, you reeled in a hot one, Hitomi." said one of the girls.
"What are you talking about?" asked Hitomi.
"I think you know. Look how fine that body of his is." chimed in another girl.
"I wouldn't mind being his sparring partner." said a third girl. Then they all giggled. Hitomi just shook her head.
One of the boys were listening to the girls talk, and his face showed a mark of discontent.
"25 feet? Impossible. I won't be bested by this newbie." he muttered to himself.
"Did you say something Salas?" asked a boy sitting next to him.
"Nothing." replied Salas.
Now, all was quiet as Ein was standing in the center. There was a person hold a large sack of flour up.
Ein felt his body move itself into a stance.
"What stance is this?" whispered Ein to himself.
"You may proceed." came a voice. Ein could feel all of the energy in his body flowing wildly. He loved the feeling.
Ein launched a kick that sent the person holding the bag stumbling back about 8 feet.
Every in the room applauded. 8 feet was a feat that few people could do.
"My daughter said you punched the wolf! punch it!" cried Hitomi's father. Ein nodded.
After the person with the sack readied himself, Ein got back into his stance.
This time, Ein could feel all the power in his body diverting itself into his right arm.
Ein released a fierce punch, and upon impact, sent the person flying across the room.
Everyone in the room was silent. Then, Hitomi's father got up.
"30 feet!" he declared. Everyone in the room applauded wildly. It was a feat none of them had ever seen.
Among the cheering crowd however, sat Salas with an angry look on his face.
Hitomi, on the other hand, was quite happy.
-----Authour's Note-----
I think that was a pretty good chapter. Anyway, I had to make up practically everything. Not too bad though I think.
Oh, and does Hitomi's father have a name? 'Cuz it's really stupid to call him 'Hitomi's father' through the entire thing.
Anyway, please leave a review and suggestions.
By the way, do you want me to do a Hayabusa chapter next, or an Ein one?
-----Thanks-----
