Here is Chapter 4, Thank you all for the nice reviews I REALLY appreciate
it.
I have recieved more votes so I tell you now that the Votes have been
closed. To see the pairings check he author's note and the Side Story! Now
someone asked my why I closed the votes so early, it's very simple really,
I didn't want to wait 2 weeks before writing my chapter 2 (since i needed
the votes to tell me where the story was going) and for fear of losing
interest in the story or losing the inspiration. Shadow and Silent are
mine, and Shi is also mine
Now on with the story....
*looks at angry laywers cracking their nuckles* umm... I don't own RK, GW' SM OR WK *looks at the laywers walking back into their holes and grins evilly* *Lets loose a kick ass Dragon Slave!* *Muwahahahahaha!!*
errrr...now the story

"Speaking"
'thoughts'
*telepathy*
Taru was sitting on her bed looking outside at the stars. ' This is going to be one adventure I'm
not ready to forget. Why do I have a feeling things will never be the same?' Pulling back the
covers, Taru slipped in her cool satin sheets, with one last look towards the glass door she
closed her eyes and mumured " Good night Shadow, Silent" and fell asleep. The eyes of the 2
panthers guarding the door seem, for a moment, to look at the sleeping form in the bed with a
gaze filled with adoration. The moment was gone before it could be confirmed.
(Dream Sequence)
Taru found herself in a white place, it kinda reminded her of the time gates but without the creepy mist. She cautiously took a step forward looking around anxiously. "Hotaru-hime, don't worry, this is where i reside to watch over my 2 favorite girls" Hotaru whirled around looking for the person that had spoken in such a angel like voice. "SELENITY-MAMA!!" she cried when she took in the adult form of the Queen. She then rushed into the open arms of the Queen. " I missed you too Taru-Hime" Hotaru smiled at the old nickname before pulling back. "Why are you here Leni- Mama?" "Always quick I see, let me explain" The Queen then proceeded to explain to Taru the same thing she had said to her Daughter. "But we only have...." "I know, a day, you will understand in the morning Taru, now to choose your weapons" Waving her hand Taru watched as 3 tables appeared out of nothingness. "I will tell you what each weapon do and what they are used for, of were used for in the old days. Weapons like these are no longuer in existance so it will give you an advantage over your future enemies" The Queen Stated

Table 1
Yumi : a Japanese Bow. A typical Japanese bow is 2.3m length, made of bamboo with a string
of silk and pine resin. The arrows are made of bamboo and bird feather. Bamboo is the best
material for bows in the plant kingdom. Though inferior to modern composite archery bow in
penetration and accuracy, it is a very deadly weapon, if trained right.
Yari : The Japanese Spear. The Spear is a very simple form of weapon. The Japanese spear
doesn't differ largely from that of other countries. During the Civil War Era, the spear was the
most standard weapon of bushi.
Katana : Japanese Sword The katana is not just a weapon, but the soul of bushi. It is the most
sophisticated form of the beauty of killing. The more beautiful it is, the more deadly sharpness it
has.Katana are distinguished from broadswords for the extremely sharp edge and the slightly
curved blade. The beauty of a katana appears on its blade and edge. Its grace form and grim
beauty has been fascinating many warriors.
Sakabatou or reverse blade : With this blade you can choose to kill or not to kill your enemy. it
is longer than a Katana and one side is dull.
Jitte : Jitte was a branched iron bar, about 60cm length or more, (Looks like an oversize fork)
It was used by Doshin, policemen in the Edo Era.
Table 2
A Ninja Sword : Ninja used swords that are shorter than normal Katana. They are called
Ninja-to (sword of ninja). Though its reach is shorter, it is much more convenient when fighting
in a small space. The sheath of a ninja sword can be used as a snorkel, which enabled ninja to
hide in the water for a long time.
Some Star shaped Shuriken : The word shuriken means ``a dagger hidden in a palm,'' so all
daggers small enough to hide in a palm were called by this name. They have many variety in
their shape and usage this one os star shaped. Some are starlike shaped like this one, and
thrown with spin. Some other are needlelike shaped, and thrown just like a throwing dagger.
Though a shuriken can hardly penetrate armor protection, it is enough because ninja throw it at
unarmed target mainly. Venom is used with shuriken normally.
Some Kunai : Kunai is a very convenient tool and a weapon for ninja. It looks like a spearhead
with a short grip, about 30cm length. It serves as a knife, a gimlet, a shovel, a small hammer,
and a throwing dagger. It can be compared to an army knife today. As a thrown weapon, it is
much more powerful than a shuriken. So most ninja prefer kunai when he could have it with
himselves (a kunai is more conspicuous and heavier than a shuriken).
Kusari-Gama : Kusari-Gama is a small sickle with a long thin chain. A ninja, holding the other
end of the chain, swings and brandishes it. It can cut enemy, or tangle enemy's limbs. It is also
used to disarm by tangling emeny's weapon with the chain. Though it require some training, it
has long reach. The word kusari means ``chain,'' and gama means ``sickle.''
Kodachis : Two short blades hiden in one open sheath, they are deadly and easy to manipulate.
When fighting you pull them out (one from each side of the Sheath) and charge the enemy. The
Sheath is picked up after the fight
Exemple: 0 is grip of one kodachi, line is sheath 0----------0
Table 3
Crossbow : Made for long distance killing, it is powerful with great accuracy ( you know what
it is so i won't go into details)
Wire : Hiden in a watch it is razor sharp. Used for strangling victims mostly or to dearmed
opponent
Nunchaku : Bugnuks : Gloves with retractable claws (5), rip out opponent's parts (lungs, throat,
stomach)
Broad Sword : Very big sword (you know what it is)

Taru walked to each table, carefully inspecting every weapons to juge which 2 would be for her
advantage. She turned to the Queen "Leni-mama, will i still be able to use my Silent Glaive?"
"Yes Taru-Hime, you will" "Alright then this will make it easier, I choose the.....Katana, pointing
to her 1st choice and the Ninja-to" she said looking over to the other table. "you have made an
excellent choice Taru, now i need to go, my time is up, wait for your trainer little one and don't
worry I'm always watching" With that the dead Queen dissapeared. Taru looked at her weapon
wondering if she had done the right choice. She shrugged, 'no matter I can't change now' With
the she sat down on the floor and proceeded to wait for her 1st trainer.
After what seemed like forever Taru finally heard someone, she jumped to her feet in battle
stance, waiting. A figure with black hair, eyes colder than icechips with a cigarette sticking in his
mouth walked up to her. Looking at her coldly from up and down he said. "Little scranny aren't
you. No matter I've been told you're powerful, if you pass the test we'll see" Taru looked at him
while he muttered under his breath, she thought she heard "Battousai I'll beat you at something
yet" but dismissed it as her imagination. "Who are you?" He glared coolly at her, it was 10 times
worst then Hiiro's death glare!
"I Saitou Hajime last in line of the Mibu's Wolf wielding the Sword of Mumei in the Mizoguchi
haittouryuu style" he stated like it was obvious
Taru stared, she had no idea who the heck he was.
"Now let the test begin" he said smirking coldly.
Taru shivered, 'Maybe I should have choosen another weapon..'

"Aku. Soku. Zan." ~ the motto for the Shinsengumi (well, it'sfor all of the clans during the Bakumatsu, but Watsuki tends to put it with the Shinsengumi) which Saitoh still keeps; means "Sin. Swift. Slay" but a lot of people translate it to "Kill. Evil. Instantly." (Thank you, Atheon, for telling me this!)
