Chapter two: Meet Riku! Shampoo's Amazonian sister!

There was a silence in the room.

"What you say? You speak Amazon?" she asked, surprised. She looked shocked

that a male knew her language(and knew her for that matter).

[I'm sorry but I can't understand what you said] I said with a shy smile.

[Oh… But who are you? Why do you speak my language?] Shampoo asked.

[I was cursed by Jusenkyo, that's why you can't recognize me Sister Shampoo.]

[Oh so you turned into a man? I can understand that] Shampoo said.

I didn't understand what she meant. [Yes I am actually…Riku.] I said.

[Riku? My Amazon sister?] She asked, disbelieving .

[Yes…Let me show you…] I took the kettle from the stove and poured the hot

water on myself.

[Aiya! It is you Riku! I'm so happy!] Shampoo said, as she flung her arms around

me and gave me a hug.

[I've missed you…] I said. Finally, I thought, I've found my sister.

[Great-Grandmother, can I make some tea?] Shampoo asked Cologne. Why does

Shampoo call Elder Cologne "Great-Grandmother", I asked myself in thought.

[Shampoo?] I said. She turned around from the stove, smiling broadly.

[Yes what is it?] she asked.

[Since I've found you…I have to tell you something…]

[What is it , Riku?] she asked, her voice full of worry.

[…Mother is…dead.} I said, the sadness gripped my heart.

[Wha… How?] she stammered, her eyes disbelieving but full of tears.

[An evil man, an Amazon Murderer, killed her.]

[WHAT?! No…No…It can't be] the tears started to flow.

[Well…here's what happened…]

It was a typical day in our village. I was training in the garden and mother was

helping me. (I was getting better at my techniques ^_^) As I was fighting Mother, the sky

darkened and I had no idea what was happening. The Elders did not foresee a storm

coming today. Lightning flashes across the dark sky. I started to feel a bit worried. That's

when I saw Him. He had dark purple, spiky hair and he wore black robed that bore an

insignia. ( [Was it a Scarlet Raven?] Cologne cut in.) Actually the insignia was a scarlet

raven. ( [The Death Scavengers] Cologne said, with anger) Oh…Okay then… He had six

people with him. All of whom were wearing black robes and masks. The leader spoke. [I

am Kagete, Leader of the Death Scavengers.] he had said.( [So I was right!] Cologne

said, triumphantly) His eyes were menacing and he was tan-skinned. He was wielding a

red katana made out of some kind of crystal. He jumped off the cliff and into the village.

He laughed to himself when he cut my house in half. Mother, who was extremely angry

at this point, charged at him with our family katana! [No Mother!!!] I screamed.

[Damn woman! Don't interfere with me!] He started attacking her but she blocked

every katana blow with hers. [Oh you ARE good! Too bad I'll have to kill you now] he

screamed. I gasped and ran towards them. He saw me. [Hahahah… Stupid girl, I'll have

to kill you…but wait…I'll save you for a later time.] he said.

He then split himself in two. One of him stayed and fought with Mother, while the

other one ran up to me and placed its hand on my forehead. I was too afraid to move. He

said some strange word [⃟] then he said [Wherever you

shall go, I shall be able to find you. This curse will last until you or I die.] That half of

him merged back into the former self.[DIE! WENCH!] he screamed. [Nooooo!] I

screamed to Mother. He put his into a triangle position and said: [WENCH! BE GONE!

YATUCHEN!] A scarlet raven erupted from his hands and pierced through Mother's

body. He laughed and motioned to the other six. [Let us be gone] he said,[Remember girl,

I'll be back to kill you,Daughter of Ryu}he added. Then the evil man left. I ran to

Mother. [ I'm… sorry…Ri…] She then took her last breath. After all that, I was told to

leave the village and go to Japan so that the village and China would be safe from

Kagete's wrath upon me.

[Cologne can I go and get some rest?] I asked.

[Sure Riku] Cologne said, her eyes full of tears of sadness and anger

[Good night] I said.

[Good night] she said.
