(Don't worry Dragon Lady9. Kagari's life doesn't have a huge impact on what
happens in this story. Oh yeah, sorry but this chapter a little rushed.)
CHAPTER SEVEN: A TROUBLED GIRL
"So, this Black Dragon wants that sword, and you're trying to stop them from doing what they want with it?" Ryo asked as he leaned on the wall watching Namiko stare at Akujki.
Namiko nodded. "I'm not sure why they want Akujki. I've only heard a legend about it though. It feeds on the anger and hatred of people. But I'm sure the Black Dragon will use it for something."
Ryo folded his arms. "And you're saying you want me to help you?" Namiko placed Akujkik in its sheath. "Well, you already killed one of their members. It's not like they're just going to forget about it."
The three had decided to stay in Shinjuku for one more day, basically to prepare.
Namiko tossed Atsuko the keys for the hotel room. "I doubt we're going to need them anymore."
"And where are you going?" Atsuko asked. Namiko turned. "I have an errand to run."
Namiko walked out of the hotel to see Hotsuma standing before her.
"Do you know what you're doing?" he asked.
"Yeah. It's something I have to do," Namiko replied. Hotsuma nodded. "Well then, like before, be careful." With that, Hotsuma walked off.
Namiko stood there for a moment, watching him walk away. "I wonder what made him so serious all of the time. As if he knows something bad is going to happen," she wondered.
Namiko walked off; not knowing someone was watching her. The girl jumped off of the building quickly. "Hey you! The one with the sword!"
Namiko turned to face the girl.
She was wearing a white sleeveless shirt. She wore dark blue shorts with short black boots. She also had semi- long dark brown hair.
"Um, who are you?" Namiko asked. The girl flipped her hair. "My name is Yasuko, fourth class shinobi of the Black Dragon."
Namiko scratched her arm. "You sure you're part of the Black Dragon?" she asked.
Yasuko gritted her teeth. "I'll prove I'm part of the Black Dragon!"
Yasuko ran full- speed at Namiko and kicked her into a building. Namiko pushed some rubble off. "Sorry, you just didn't seem to be really serious."
Yasuko took out two identical daggers from her backside. She then placed herself into a fighting stance. "I have orders to take that sword away from you," Yasuko said.
Namiko jumped up and unsheathed Akujki. "Sorry, but I can't allow that."
Yasuko dashed at Namiko, but then jumped and drove down with her daggers. Namiko blocked the attack and then countered by kicking Yasuko to the ground.
"Actually, maybe you're not cut to get Akujki," Namiko stated. Yasuko stood up. "I don't care about the sword. It's just my job."
Yasuko jumped up and threw her daggers at Namiko. Namiko easily deflected the daggers away. She then jumped up to meet with Yasuko, who kicked her to the ground.
Yasuko then landed and dashed to her daggers. She then slightly stabbed Namiko in her back.
Namiko fell to the ground. "Maybe I underestimated you," she said as she stood up.
Yasuko was about to respond when she suddenly fell to the ground. "Stop! Please..." Yasuko then collapsed completely on to the ground. Namiko kneeled down next to her. "What?"
"You're not really implying that she come with us?" Atsuko asked as she and Namiko stared at Yasuko lying on the bed in the hotel room.
"I know it's risky. She doesn't have to come. But she can give us some information."
Yasuko then opened her eyes. "What? Where am I?" she asked weakly.
"We're not going to hurt you. We just want you to answer a few questions," Namiko said.
Yasuko gritted her teeth and stood up. "I don't have to tell you anything!" she stated.
"We'll make you," Atsuko muttered. Namiko heard this and pushed Atsuko aside.
"We're not going to let you go if you don't cooperate," Namiko said.
Yasuko folded her arms. "Fine."
Suddenly, a strange mist started to fog up the room. "Have to go!" Yasuko exclaimed as she escaped. "Where the heck did she run off to?" Atsuko asked once the fog lifted. Namiko took out Akujki. "It doesn't matter, get out of here."
Six ninjas had appeared in the room. Atsuko nodded and ran to the door.
As Atsuko ran down the stairs to the lobby, more of the fog was spreading. "What's going on?" Atsuko wondered.
"Meanwhile, Namiko had destroyed three of the ninjas. "Take this!" She ran to one and slashed it in half. The other two ninjas were about to attack, but stopped. The mist erupted from their bodies, flooding the room.
"What is this stuff?" Namiko thought as she ran to the end of the room.
The mist seemed to swallow everything up, including Namiko.
(Once again, sorry for the rushed chapter.)
