Ken chuckled as he pinned her to the floor by the blade.
"Tensai, you need to pay more attention!" he offered his hand to her, but she knocked it away and helped herself up.
"I don't see why you insist on giving me these lessons yourself. Toji would be quite capable of-"
"Because I want to make sure you learn properly, princess." She rolled her eyes, and handed ken the fencing sword.
"Well, I've 'learned' enough for today." The thirteen-year-old girl took off her fencing mask, and let her hair fall down her back. Ken frowned, and she turned to leave.
"Oh, Tensai, one more thing." She didn't even turn around.
"What infinite wisdom do you have to share with the underprivileged princess?" she waved her hand about in a sarcastic manner. Ken put away one sword, and walked over to her.
"Even if these are practice swords, princess," he slipped the blade beneath her knee length hair, "they are still very sharp." He held her hair down with one hand, and with a quick upward motion, Tensai saw her hair fall to the ground around her feet. She whipped around, hand on her neck, mouth open in shock.
"My… my hair… you just…"
"Solved a problem that was plaguing me for some time now." He continued as if nothing happened, putting the other sword away followed by his mask and gloves, and left the room, Tensai still standing in the middle, tears starting down her face.
~~~~~
"Mistress, are you alright?" Toji called through the door.
"Go away Toji. I'm fine."
"Are you sure, mistress? You haven't eaten anything today."
"Toji, go away or else!" Toji sighed, and left from outside her room. Tensai was sitting on her bed, glaring at the pile of hair on her desk.
"Take something of mine, will you? Well, then, you'll just have to lose something of yours. Right Tensai?" she nodded to herself. "That's right… plan something to make him wince and suffer…" the mind of any thirteen year old is a confusing thing; filled with dreams and an overactive imagination. The logic that resides there is doesn't always make sense.
But the mind of a child that is being raised in the most unlikely circumstances, such as Tensai, one can only wonder if it is working properly at all. To Tensai, killing a bird just to watch it bleed was something she enjoyed rather often, much to Toji's discontent. One could only wonder what kind of plans she would come up with for her father…
She grinned to herself, and nodded in agreement.
"Yes, that is by far the best plan! Tensai, you are a genius."
~~~~~
Tensai got up early, as per usual, and went straight to the garden that ken had put in the middle of the fortress just for her. She browsed among the plants there, and muttered to herself as she walked along.
"No, that's not it… where did you put it Tensai? You're always losing things!"
"I am not, and you know it. It's around here somewhere…"
Every plant in her garden was beautiful; splashes of colour filling the observer's sight every possible place they could look. Only the best plants were here, however, and the most rare. A lot of the plants Ken had made, and some Tensai had made herself.
"And how are my babies today?" Tensai became distracted momentarily when she passed her favorite flowers, and tenderly cradled one of the blossoms.
"That's right, Tensai's here. Grow, pretties, grow." The black roses almost seemed to lean to her and answer to the sound of her voice. She continued on.
"Maybe under the willow… they like the dark."
"Yes, yes of course! Why didn't I think of it before?" Tensai smiled, and hurried over to the giant willow tree that took up an entire corner of the large garden. She pushed the vines aside, and stepped into the darkened area. Tensai spent most mornings as a young child here with Toji, and her tree house was still in the old tough branches above her head. She passed the rope ladder and headed to the trunk were a patch of pale flowers grew.
There were only three different types of plants here. Tensai ignored the ones to the right, and fell to her knees, grinning.
"Yes, this is it! Here they are!"
"Ken will pay for what he's done now." She chuckled to herself.
~~~~~
A/N: what plant does Tensai have? Better yet, what does she have in store for Ken? And what will Toji do about it? Thanks to all those that review, and if you haven't already, DO SO NOW!!! *Chuckles* sorry this is such a small chapter. More later,
