This is usually where people say "thanks for all the reviews!", but I
haven't gotten very many...I've redone this story a little bit since the
first time I wrote it, but all of the changes were for the better. Please
R & R. If you have any questions, ask me.
=======================================================================
The next morning, Kaosi woke up before Maoshi did. She knew he would probably tell her to stay and bed, but she was feeling tons better today. So she got up and went to the training area. After fighting the Hitokiri's, she noticed that her sword techniques had improved greatly. But she wanted them even better. She trained all morning until she saw Raoki coming.
"Hi Raoki! I'm feeling much better today!" She said before he could nag her about recovery.
"That's good, but Maoshi wants you to come back home. Don't forget about the ceremony today."
"All right, I'm coming." She followed him back to the village. Two hours later they held the ceremony. Kaosi prayed for each one of them. But later on, Maoshi and a few other men, had some important business to attend to. Tokyo was under attack by a group of men who were trying to steal important items.
"I've got to go Kaosi." Maoshi said. "I'm sorry you can't come, I don't know how safe it is for you to come. Raoki will take care of you while I'm gone." Maoshi hugged her goodbye, all though she was still upset that she couldn't come.
Kaosi and Raoki watched as Maoshi and his men left.
"Those men in Tokyo would be gone a lot quicker if I came with him." Kaosi said to Raoki.
"Yeah, but Maoshi wouldn't be able to fight as well because he'd have to worry about you."
"I think both of you worry about me too much. I can handle myself."
"How about proving it to me with a practice fight?"
"Sounds good to me."
In no time at all, Raoki and Kaosi were locked in a fierce fight. Kaosi wanted to win it, but Raoki was much stronger than her. But Kaosi had battled men who stronger than her almost her whole life. She'd been able to teach herself how to use the enemy's strength as her weapon. She knew that strength didn't matter, but skill.
With Kaosi's technique in mind, she struck Raoki with her sword and pinned him to the ground.
"Good job Kaosi! I'm impressed!"
"I told you I can take care of myself."
"Well don't think you've won just-"
"Raoki! Come quick! There are sumo wrestlers here!" A man yelled. Raoki pushed Kaosi off of him and ran back to the village. Kaosi followed right behind him.
When they got back to the village, five sumo wrestler men were thrashing their way through. The sumos have always been an enemy to the Sekihoutai because they believed that all of the land that the Sekihoutai owned should have been theirs.
Raoki drew his sword and immediately began attacking. It was no use ever reasoning with the sumos, they never listened. Five sumos were a lot to fight against considering their strength. Kaosi drew her sword as well and charged at a sumo. With all the physical strength a sumo had, Kaosi could definitely use their own strength against them.
Five other Sekihoutai men joined in the fight as well. Raoki was glad of their help, even though he already had defeated one sumo by himself. Kaosi was having a harder time. This sumo was about seven or eight times her size, if he grabbed her, she would be done for. Kaosi seemed to always be a target for enemies, probably because she was the only female of the Sekihoutai.
The sumo threw his fists at Kaosi and she barely dodged his blows. But Kaosi was not going to keep on dodging. The next punch he threw at her, she stopped using her own fists. The sumo could not believe that a young girl could do that. When he tried to grab her with his other hand, she drew her sword and jammed it into his hand. Now he could probably could never use that hand to fight with again.
The angry sumo had it with Kaosi. He would not allow a small girl to defeat him like this. He began thrashing around like a madman and Kaosi could not stop him or attack him. Another sumo came up from behind her, and while she was occupied with him, the sumo with the hurt hand had body slammed Kaosi.
"Kaosi!" Raoki saw the large sumo fall on top of her small body. He began attacking him furiously.
"Get off of her dammit!" Raoki attacked the sumo. But the sumo would not budge. Kaosi wanted to scream in pain, but she couldn't even breathe. Her whole body felt crushed under this guy and he showed no sign of getting off of her. Kaosi realized she was still holding her sword and she twisted her wrist, making the sword jam up his back.
"AHHH!" The sumo screamed, he rolled over revealing Kaosi. Now that he was off of her, Kaosi could feel the pain even worse now. Raoki bent over her, if he tried to pick her up, he might hurt her even more.
"Kaosi, can you speak to me?" Raoki asked. He needed to know how alive she was, if her lungs were damaged, he needed to sit her upright so she could breathe. Kaosi could not speak and she could not move. Raoki lifted her up and got one of the other men to hold her up for him.
"Hold her in that position while I kill this sumo." Raoki said. Raoki was furious with the sumo for hurting Kaosi so badly, Raoki often hated anyone who hurt her. While the sumo was examining his hurt back, Raoki silently came up from behind him and jammed his sword into his back, slaying him. The rest of the sumos fled after seeing that, but Raoki didn't let them get far. Raoki had all of the sumos killed and dumped them into a pile in the village. Later he would go to the government and they would give him money for getting rid of the sumos.
By the time Raoki got back to Kaosi, her breathing had become less raspy and she could speak better.
"Kaosi?" Raoki held her. "How do you feel?"
"Not good..."
"Right, sorry. But can you move yourself?"
"Yeah, I guess so."
"All right, well let's get you into a bed. I'm sorry this had to happen to you."
Raoki lifted her up and carried her back to the village. Other men wished her to get better as Raoki carried her passed them. All though Kaosi was going to be okay, Raoki cursed himself in his mind for not being able to protect her.
"Raoki?"
"What's going to happen to me? I've never felt like this before."
"I'll take care of you Kaosi, and you'll be fine. Just hang in there." =======================================================================
Well I am going to say this anyway, Thank you for all the reviews!!!! All 4 of them! I've got 4 reviews so far. That's pretty cool I guess. I've commented other people's stories a lot, but I guess I haven't commented them enough. I will go do that right now. ^_^
If I can, I am going to try and post a link to some pictures of the characters in this story. Maoshi looks exactly like Captain Sagara from the anime.
