Tousan!
Chapter 1
She rode through the foliage in a blur of red; her mount whinnied, anxious and fearful. Their pursuers were almost upon them. Rei pulled out her naginata (glaive like thing with a blade on both ends hehe weapons!!!) from its place on her back and held it tightly in her hand. The weapons two blades glistened red in the sunlight.
"I thought it would take them much longer." she mumbled, jumping down from her saddle to face her two attackers. The men were armed to the teeth with swords and daggers of various sizes.
"Give us the jewel or we will be forced to take it from you." The man on the left removed his sword from its sheath and dismounted his horse. The other mercenary followed suit as they began to approach Rei. She stared at the ground, gripping her naginata tighter as she swung it upwards, the flat of a blade making solid contact with the first man's jaw. He yelled and crumpled to the ground in a heap. The first man was unconscious but the other was more prepared than the first. Rei blocked a blow that was headed for her torso with the staff of her weapon pushing forwards knocking the man off balance. She dropped to one knee and using her boot swept his legs out from under him. The man fell to the ground but avoided the blade of her naginata with the sword he still carried. Before Rei could get to her feet the man was above her, sword point at her throat.
'Damn! He's quick.'
"Up" the man grunted. Rei did as she was instructed. "Give me the jewel or I will remove your head." Rei pulled a piece of jagged, opalescent crystal from her pocket and tossed it at the man. He caught it and stared at it in his open palm. As he was distracted She swiftly removed a sai (a double pronged Japanese knife) from her boot and thrust it deep into the man's gut. He screamed, dropping the fragment to clawing at Rei's hand, trying to remove the knife from his body as if that would help lessen the pain. Rei pulled the sai from his stomach and knocked him unconscious with the hilt. Sheathing her sai and the naginata she bent down to pick up the abandoned jewel fragment.
"I wonder how long it will take to recover the rest?" Rei sighed, pulling a small, drawstring pouch from her belt loop and undoing the tie, slipping the fragment inside before returning it to its place on her belt. She mounted her horse and urged it into a swift gallop. She had now collected seven pieces of the Shikon no Tama since its power had resurfaced in feudal Japan.
