(Outside-Early Saturday Morning)
A lone figure ascends the steps towards the Drying Rods Outside Hinata -Sou. A wooden Bokken (Practice Sword) hangs loosely on her hip as she approaches her usual training area outside. Ignoring the cold, morning breeze she surveys the surrounding sky.a slight frown begins to show on her normally lovely face.
' Hmm, by the looks of those grey clouds, I had better inform Shinobu to save the laundry for another time.'
Motoko Aoyama has what most people call 'classical beauty'. She was a tall girl (about 16 yrs old) with an athletic build, porcelin skin ,which if one was lucky ,would notice it was very smooth to touch, a beautiful face( which seemed to never need any makeup at all) that was capped off by a long mane of gorgeous , Raven colored hair which she preferred to keep straight.
She didn't consider herself as beautiful. Such things were beneath a true warrior's notice. Keitaro has said in the past how cute he found her to be.
'BAKA! He only wants to have his perverted way with me. '
Only the perfection of the Blade was what mattered. Which is why for as long as she lived at Hinata-Sou she would begin her day at the exact same spot doing the exact same routine.
She began her warm-up exercises to loosen her body before the REAL work began. Her actual training consisted of: 1000 Strikes followed by some Forms training and finally ending the session with some light meditation to ready her mind for the day's events.
' I saw Haruka in the kitchen earlier. I hope she dropped off that specially blended tea I had sampled the other day at her teashop. It was wonderful!'
Haruka Urashima was the former House Mother of the girl's dorm.as well as the not-that-much-older Aunt of the current landlord Keitaro Urashima(she's only about 28 to his 20 years). She ran the family teashop on the All the while, reading the daily paper while smoking her seemingly limitless supply of cigarettes. One always seemed to be hanging from her lips.
'Yes. I would welcome a steaming cup of that tea after my training and a good soak in the Hot Spring. 'a slight smile begins to form on her face at the enticing thought.. .
She had finished her warm-ups and was only a few minutes into her 1000 strikes when---
"GNAHH!" Yelped Motoko, dropping her bokken to the ground --kneeling. She clutched her chest in excruciating pain as if an unseen enemy had stabbed her through the heart with a longsword.
"What is this pain? Why does it hurt so.could it be?" she whispers as a horrible thought begins to form. ' Kami ! But it hurts so much." She thinks, trying a breathing exercise to help with her pain--.with little success.
"Motoko! " cries Haruka, running up the stairs and kneeling next to her friend. " Where does it hurt? Can I get you anything?"
Her breathing starting to slow, Motoko begins to stand up while being steadied by Haruka.. Sweat forming on her brow. " C-Could you take me to see a Doctor? Please."
" Do you want me to wake any of the others? Keitaro maybe?" asked Haruka.
"No! They are still recovering from last night's party. Besides, with all the studying he and Naru have been doing as well as his normal chores around the dorm,.he doesn't get much of a break." thinks Motoko, "Let him rest."
'Whoa!' Thinks Haruka, 'was that some sort of compliment for my nephew? She must really be out of it if she just did that.'
"Let's get you washed up real quick, then I'll take you in Seta's van to the city to see my Doctor."
"A-Alright" Still a little weak.Motoko allows Haruka to guide her down to the Hot Spring where she quickly bathed and dressed in fresh clothes in the changing area.
" Here!" says Haruka, handing her a steaming mug. " Its that tea blend I noticed you were fond of the other day. Should help to keep your strength up "
"Arigato." Thanks Motoko,as she slowly drinks the contents of the mug. A weak smile forming on her face.. " I am ready."
They walk down the hill in silence toward Professor Seta's (an old 'acquaintance' of Haruka's) van. He left it in her care as he traveled to another set of ruins that were hinting at a "Turtle Nation".
On the way to the city.Haruka notices how silent her friend has been. "Don't worry .everything will be fine. You'll see." She says with an encouraging tone.
" I hope you are correct Haruka." Starts the kendo student, "If this is what I THINK it is.then everything will NOT be fine."
Not liking the sound of that, especially from someone as strong willed as Motoko, she asked, "This is BAD.isn't it?"
" It may be." she pauses "it may very well be."
Both say nothing the rest of the way as the last few minutes continue to play out in their heads.
'Keitaro' thinks Haruka, 'Something tells me she is going to need your REAL strength if we are going to see this through. I hope you forgive me if I break my promise . I may have no other choice.'
AUTHOR'S NOTES: End Chapter 2. What do u guys think.? As I said in Chapter 1 this one would be mainly Motoko's POV. The chapter takes place a couple of hours BeFORE the events of the previous chapter. Hopefully it makes more sense. Anyways thank you for the continued comments and as always.PLEASE REVIEW.
