Protector
2nd Chapter: The incident in the café
They sat down on the low tables covered in silk covers.
"What can do for you?" a waitress warmly welcomes them.
"I'll have a warabi sweetcake and barley tea." Rin snapped.
"I have some sake and sakura mochi"
"warabi sweetcake, sakura mochi, sake, andbarley tea coming right up." The waitress smiled and walked away.
"Manji?" Rin tugged his sleeve.
"Yeah?"
"Will we be able to find Anotsu and the Itto-ryu? It has been a long time and we didn't find someone who knows or involves in it."
"Hell don't know." Manji snorted "I don't know if we can find them but I hope that we can find someone who knows that crappin' group"
"Oh I hope we can find them soon so I can carry out my revenge…"
Suddenly, a group of samurai approached them and their leader approached them.
"Are you Rin Asano, the last heir to the Asano dojo and the Mutenchi-ryu technique?" the leader asked.
"Y-yes." Rin responded.
"Hah! We found you! We've been sent here by Anotsu Kagehisa to kill you and your bodyguard!!!" The leader of the group drew out his sword and points it to Manji. "If we kill both of you, we cut off your heads and show it to Anotsu. And if we do that, I will be the crowned the legend who killed an immortal and feed your heads to the crocodiles! Hahahahahaha!!!!"
"Bring it on! I'm ready to kick each of your asses down you jerks!" Rin shouted, grasping to her Kutoneshirika .Her arms shook like crazy like a rickety bridge.
Then her sword suddenly disappeared from her hands. And saw it on the ground after. "Say that again if your hands are not shaking,, idiot." Manji drew out his shido and the mito-no-kami Tatsumasa out of his sheath. "If any of you dumbshits try kill her, then get through me first."
"Manji! Let me join you in your fight."
"No Rin, just stay put and don't do any of your crazy heroine acts."
"But – "
"No buts Rin. I say it and I mean it!"
From nowhere, one of the samurai of the group, quickly got him on the side and sliced his right arm cleanly. Blood rushes from the wound, revealing part of the arm bone and the muscles. "Got ya, asshole!"
"AHHH!!!" Manji collapsed and groans in agony as blood rushed from his wound to the dry dirt road. People inside the café are disgusted at the sight. Some of them fainted and vomited. "OH MY GOSH!!!"
"What an idiot you are, Manji! You're so stupid to notice that moment. Hah!" The samurai approached him and pointed him on the face. "We won't waste our time here. Were going to cut your head off to finish your immortal life now!"
Rin cannot handle the tension anymore. "I'm doing this!" She handed out some of her sharp ogonchus and the blades pointing the group. "If you want to kill him, then you have to go through me first! COME ON! I'M WAITING!"
"Rin?! Stop being a showoff—" The leader stabbed Manji straight to the heart. "Urggh…" Manji groaned. "Guess you really have guts kid. But if that's what you want then we say, YOUR LIFE ENDS HERE!"
"EAT THIS!!!" Rin spreads out her hands and for a split second, she threw the daggers with dexterity and style. "Curtain of Death! FLIGHT OF THE GOLDEN WASPS!!" Her ogonchus fly through the air like fire rockets waiting to hit a person from a distance.
The daggers found their places but her blows were not fatal and accurate. Two of the daggers stabbed the leg of the gang leader. The pain of the dagger through his skin is excruciating.
"OW!!! You will pay you bitch!" He dashed towards Rin and grabbed her by the kimono. He drew out a dagger and stick it in front of Rin's face.
"As I was saying, you are weak and you have no match against me. I will kill you now…DIE!" Rin closed her eyes in fear.
A drop of blood splashed on Rin's hand. She slowly opened her eyes and found the gang leader, his mouth frothing with blood. Manji stabbed him in the stomach. He regained his strength and the kessen chu have healed him. The people were shocked at what they saw.
"You're a good samurai. You have skill but you have no style…That stab on the heart was nothing. Wanna feel my wrath? You are a very lucky man…Die!" Manji brought out his kurasu and sliced up his body. The dirt road rained with blood as the body dismembered.
The people were disgusted at the sight. Some of them fainted and some of them vomited. "Ugh! GROSS!"
"Rin…" Manji called her.
"Yeah?" Rin approached him and sat down beside him.
Manji slapped her very hard on the face. "Why do you have to do that?!" Manji was angry at what happened earlier. "You know that I'm immortal. Why do you have to do that friggin' thing of yours?" Something was bothering him at that time.
Rin stood up and rubbed her cheek. "Why? Is there a problem if I fight?" Rin shouted. "I'm—"
Manji got up. "When I mean it, I mean—" Rin slapped him harder on the face.
"So you think that I still act like a child? Well I'll tell you. I'm no baby and I do things by myself. Will you excuse me…" Rin got her sword and gathered up her daggers and walked away, with tears in her eyes. "Dumb ol' Honored Brother!"
Manji's eyes widened as he heard what Rin said. He knelt down, his head bent down with guilt. "Why? Why am I thinking like this?" His younger sister is always in his mind. "I'm confused…" Manji got up and approached the trembling waitress. " Can you give me some sake?" "Uh, yes sir…".
Rin walked away from the scene with anger and a lot of questions in her mind.
Do I look like Manji's sister? Why does he act like he's a brother to me? I…I…don't know…
