(Yeah! More Hotsuma! Don't worry if his personality seems off, he's gone
through some changes since Shinobi...)
CHAPTER FIVE: HITOSHI UBUSUNA
The man looked at the drifting shadows of Namiko and Atsuko until they disappeared. "Akujiki... Has it really chosen this girl as its master? No. It's simply using her. It will be easy to control." "What do you mean by that?"
The man turned to see Hotsuma standing behind him.
The man smirked. "I don't believe this, you must be Hotsuma, leader of the Oboro, correct?" Hotsuma winced. "The Oboro don't exist anymore. I'm no longer the leader of anything."
The man laughed. "So, you spend your time following that girl. Are you trying to protect her?" the man asked. Hotsuma replied, "I can relate to her situation. And besides, I'm trying to take down the Black Dragon.
Hotsuma took a few steps forward. "Besides that, you must be part of the Black Dragon. Who are you?" Hotsuma asked. The man rubbed his nose. "Yes, I'm part of the Black Dragon. And my name, you could say it's Hitoshi Ubusana."
"Ubusuna?" Hitoshi smirked. "Don't tell me you're surprised Hotsuma. Just because you killed my ancestor, doesn't mean he doesn't have to have descendants."
Hotsuma placed his hand on the handle of his sword. "I didn't know there were other descendants of Hiruko," Hotsuma answered.
Hitoshi laughed and took out his sword. "Yes, I had no parents, so I can't tell you what my relations are. But I'm sure you know who my aunt is. At least, I consider her my aunt."
Hotsuma unsheathed his sword. "I don't care if you're Kagari's nephew. You're part of the Black Dragon, and you're after Akujiki."
Hitoshi smiled. "And, what're you going to do? Don't get me wrong, I've always wanted to fight the man who killed my ancestor. But I'm no weakling."
Hotsuma held out his sword in front of him. "It looks like you'll be getting your chance."
Hitoshi smirked as they both dashed at each other. Hotsuma swung his sword, but Hitoshi dashed behind him and slashed. Hotsuma blocked and countered with a horizontal slash.
Hitoshi jumped back, but then dashed and slashed. Hotsuma blocked the attack. Hitoshi smirked and started slashing rapidly. Hotsuma blocked each of them with ease.
Hitoshi jumped back. "Not bad, impressive actually. Just what I would expect from a former leader of the Oboro."
Hitoshi spread out his hands. "But how will you be able to handle, dark ninjutsu?"
Hotsuma looked confused. "Dark ninjutsu?"
Hitoshi smiled. "How about I show you."
A black aura surrounded Hitoshi's hands. "Yes, allow me to show you!"
Hitoshi held his hands in front of him.
The floor beneath Hotsuma started to shake. Hotsuma quickly jumped out of the way, just before a black beam of energy erupted out of the ground.
Hitoshi repeated this attack. It started to happen faster. Hotsuma quickly dashed out of the way. He then jumped over to Hitoshi and hit him with his elbow. Hitoshi staggered back. Hotsuma quickly dashed and slashed. Hitoshi grabbed Hotsuma's sword with his hand. "Try that again."
Hitoshi smashed the back of his fist into Hotsuma's face. He then kicked him to the floor.
"I was expecting more, Hotsuma. Don't disappoint me."
Hotsuma jumped up and kicked Hitoshi in the stomach. He then grabbed his sword and stabbed Hitoshi in his shoulder.
Hotsuma jerked his sword out of Hitoshi. A black mist flowed out of Hitoshi's wound. However, rather than cry out in pain, Hitoshi started laughing.
"I believe we'll have to postpone this battle," he said. "I would like to kill you myself, Hotsuma."
Hotsuma sheathed his sword away. "Hold on. Tell me, what are the Black Dragon after?" Hitoshi started laughing. "You expect me to follow what those fools do? Sorry, but I follow my own agenda."
Hitoshi smiled before disappearing.
Hotsuma looked up. "What is that man after?"
(If you were wondering, Hitoshi was the Black Dragon member from the first chapter.)
