First proof of second chapter Authors note: First, thank for you reviews. To O I want say that, maybe you should read the text before you make any hesitated conclusions. My story's script is sadly, out of nowhere, because I do not own playstation 2 or that matter Tenchu -wrath of heaven-. (Crying loudly) Anyway, this story takes place when Kiku is eighteen, Ayame twenty-seven and Rikimaru thirty-one!!! Warning = This is a short chapter, I think that it deserves a warning. This chapter may bee updated someday. Ou, by the way, this story's name suck's!!! (Road of two shadows, how lame is that!?!) Well anyway, the name should be something like. I dunno love or something. Another warning comes now; soon it's going to be sticky, in romance sort of way! Don't get me wrong!!!

Begging for you to read and review, please, please, please, pretty please.

Road of two shadows

Chapter 2 -Old hut- Rikimaru had hurried to the hut because he knew he was late.

Time seemed to have crown pair of wings as he had settled down his thoughts for a while. Day as well as the sun started their journey to the other side of the world, but sky was still bright. Evening wind blowing trough the valleys up in the hills. The drowning scent of cherries could be smelled even down the hut. Kiku wasn't in the house. There was no-one. Rikimaru thought that maybe she were even more late than he was. After all she probably had half a dozen maids as her chaperon. That was one of her dad's orders. When she went outside the yard area she had hole retinue with her. Rikimaru deicide to wate before he would go back to see if something was wrong. All thought it was very unlikely.

He turned away from the door to take a second look his surroundings. Everything in and outside this house were in quite bad shape. There were no paint at falls, shoji's had cracks and there was a hole in the ceiling. Floors were messy as feeds had fallen at the roof and water had poured inside. Rikimaru smiled a bit and thought that the place hadn't chanced at all dispaiting all the years had passed. He started memorising how he, Ayame and Tatsumaru had played here as they were still little. They had spent a lot of time inside these falls. This had been their secret place whit out adults. Maybe the village kids did come here too, or maybe not. He remembered how it was that he and Ayame had been here many times, just two of them. Last weeks they really hadn't had that much time to talk one another, because of the far and the villages, which needed protection. Rikimaru sat down at small pile of feed from the roof. He just couldn't stop worrying Ayame. She always popped in his head no matter whit whom he was or where he was.

Ayame wasn't like all the other woman he had known. She was ordinary even comparatived to other female ninja's. There had some spunkiness in her that he could not quite explain. The lost of Tatsumaru had drawn them closer together, even thought he him self had died. After he had gamed back he could sense some kind of chance in Ayame.

He take some dry leaves in his hands just to see how try they were. Rikimaru felt sadness because he knew that there was bloodshed probeably every where around him, around this village, around where Ayame was.

He sank to his thoughts as the same time he smashed the leaves in his palms. He was so concentrated in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice Kiku coming at the doorway.

By the way, were you guys thinking that Kiku is the one.? =)
