*In the first episode or the Samurai Jack movie, did they say what Jack's real name was? If someone knows please tell me by way of the reviews!!! So, just for now, I picked out a Japanese name from the book The Picture Bride by Yoshiko Uchida (first name sound familiar)? :) She's one of my favorite authors. Okay, back to the story!! :)*
Fire Melts Ice
As Jack and Yoshiko traveled further up the mountain they followed a series of landmarks that were clearly stated on the map. One was a nearby cave, in which they decided to rest. Jack searched for some wood, inside the cave, to build a fire with but found none, with the exception of a few twigs. He hunted a bit outside the cave, but the wood he found there was too wet for burning.
Jack returned to the cave, disappointed. He spotted Yoshiko huddled against the cave wall, shivering. Jack went over to her and sat down by her side. Then, hesitantly, he encircled her in his arms.
"W-what ar-are y-you d-d-d-doing?" Yoshiko demanded through chattering teeth.
"Keeping you warm."
"O-oh." Yoshiko would have protested, had she not been so cold.
Soon Yoshiko's teeth ceased to chatter and her body ceased to shake. She looked up at the gentle face of the samurai, who was holding her still, and smiled. Jack noticed and his heart quickened as he smiled back with his charming slow grin. As he gazed at Yoshiko he felt something flame up inside him and the ice in his heart melted away.
"The snow is beautiful isn't it, Jack?"
"Yes it is, but not as beautiful as you," Jack said earnestly, and Yoshiko blushed. Jack had finally abandoned the thought of Yoshiko having any more connections with Aku and he let himself fall in love with her.
"Yoshiko?"
"Yes?"
"Please, call me Kenji."
"What?"
"My real name is Kenji Nishima and it is my wish that you would call me by that name."
"All right, . . Kenji," but as soon as Yoshiko said it she began to cry.
"What is wrong?" Jack asked with concern.
"I-" Yoshiko began but she choked on her tears.
"Are you weeping because your village was destroyed?"
" . . . yes," Yoshiko replied after a pause. Jack tenderly placed his hand on the side of her head and stroked away her tears with his thumb. But, at his touch, Yoshiko began to cry harder. Jack continued to cradle her in his arms and soon she fell asleep.
