By: Mizu- chan a.k.a Vanilla_fox Summary: Sujirou finally finds the one for him- but she can't settle down- or get attached. She's running away from her past- and a lot of people. Of course, the dear boy is to help, isn't he? Btw, read and suggest a title pleese!
Notes: Actually, I was going to discontinue this fic, but I felt so glad when I received reviews from all of you! Besides, if someone was reading this, and liked it enough to leave, a review, I think they would feel annoyed when this suddenly stopped.

Last Chapter: The figure on the right slumped down onto the floor. "Yukimi- don't do this for me- it's not really worth it. If she finds out, or if anyone else finds out, you will die with me." The one called Yukimi sighed, and turned around. "You know I can't help it- I have to. I can't just stand by. But from now on, I won't be seen with you- Sore ja." With that, she was gone, leaving the girl called Tsukishiro alone. "Sore ja." (Sore ja= See you, or Bye)
*~*~* Sujirou looked around, and seeing one empty table, he sat down with his belongings, and ordered a small breakfast. While waiting, he looked around for the woman he heard last night. [Tsukishiro.] He sighed and looked up as someone approached. It was a woman in her early twenties, wearing a travelling kimono. Waist length greyish- black hair in a braid fell forward as she bowed. "Sorry, but can I sit here? The other tables are occupied, and well-" he nodded and she gave a quick smile before siting down. [That voice.] She extended her hand. "Yumemiya Aoi." He took it, still smiling. "Seta Soujirou." Her head suddenly cocked to one side, "Tenken?" He nodded. "Tsukishiro?" She seemed taken aback. "H..How did you know that? He shrugged. "I heard you talking to your friend earlier." She smiled, and nodded. "A.k.a Tsukishiro." He nodded. "Of what school?" She shrugged. "Which way are you going?"
"Around Kanagawa, I guess, or at this time of the year, maybe Choshi. The weather is fine for a good beach- side town. The fish would be fine there. You?" She shrugged. "I'm not sure... maybe North." Suhirou nodded, and an akward silence prevailed for a while, before Sujirou spoke up. "I was thinking of visiting some friends in Kyoto..." She smiled, and nodded. "Kyoto should be having a really nice festival a few weeks from now." she said quietly, though with a smiling face. "Aah." Finally, the waitress came, and they made their orders. "Maybe I'll go to Kyoto... There should be a lot of people there." she told him, and he agreed. Quietly, he phrased his next question properly. "Aa... you seem to be running away... from someone?" she nodded.
"Hai... have you heard of the recent murders, of a few women, all over Japan, their bodies being found, and seen torn to bits, like by a ravaging beast?" Sujirou, eyes wide, nodded. "They were once part of the Sisterhood... A group of women, who protected other women, weaker, oppressed women. For example, those who were violated, were given a home. Young children were housed in orphanages, and some of us- some of us fought against people who dind't want us interfering. There were all sorts of women who fought for the cause, and I was one of them." Sujirou nodded as the food arrived.
"I was part of the massacre of the Murakami group. They had a whole harem of abused women and children in their head quarters." Sujirou looked at her over the steaming bowl of ramen. "But they were all killed in one night, they didn't know what hit them... they said it was the Oniwabanshu who was responsible." He trailed off as she shook her head. "It was my group, a group of ten women, and six children... who did it." Sujirou stred. "That's right... I don't have a school. I come from a clan- I am a Kunoichi. My group lead all their 'belongings' to safety, and I took Taisuke Murakami's life... with my own knives." She looked at her hands, and as if disgusted with them, she hid them under her obi. (Kunoichi- Female Ninja, Oniwabanshu- The Oni Gang)
"After a while... I became a cold blooded murderer, and our Eldest Sister... our Okashira... she was extremely pleased with me, until the time came when I fought with someone... I will remember that fight for a long time... and I realized... that I was so jaded, I didn't realize the countless lives I'd ruined, and the countless other women and children... I left, and The Okashira's looking for me, and all those who abandoned the 'cause'. I went back to my village, but from the Jonin, I found out... that the whole village had labelled me as an outcast, and as someone unworthy of further study of ninjutsu techniques... and since then, I've learnt a lot I wouldn't have learnt in the village. But I've been running away from The Okashira for years now... And I also know your story, Heavenly Sword... the young protege of Makoto Shishio..." (Okashira- Leader, Jonin- The Ninja's Headman)
Later on, the inn's occupants were still thinking of the couple who just left, both smiling, and walking, and talking, in what seemed like a comfortable way. "Looked like they were fiancées or something." One of them had said, but in truth, as soon as the two smiling faces reached the towns outskirts, Aoi turned serious. "You can come out now, you know." Sujirou, still smiling, nodded in agreement, and both were facing the bushes beside the road. There was rustling, and a woman came out, wearing a black kimono top, and trousers. "Tsukishiro. You can NEVER escape!" she shouted, and a drawn katana swinging towards the ex- kunoichi leader. "I know.. but I'd like to keep myself alive for a longer time!" she shouted, and three kunai imbedded themselves on the attacking woman's back.
"Your head has a price on it! How long do you think until someone catches you? A lot of us are after you, you know!" she shouted, and the katana suddenly reached forward, to a distance kunai wouldn't save her from. Sujirou jumped in. "Arigato!" Aoi hissed, and she drew out two whips from her obi, lashing out at the attacker, who lay unconscious seconds after, to be found later in the night by traveling merchants.
"Thank you so much, Seta- san." Aoi told him, bowing slightly. Sujirou shook his head, slightly coloured. "It's nothing. really! And I think, Sujirou would be alright." Aoi nodded. "Then Aoi is fine as well." They nodded, and as if nothing happened, continued walking on in silence, headed for Kyoto- and Kamiya- Kasshin Dojo.
