I looked at Battousai from the courtyard. He looked so handsome. Wait a
second, hold up; this is Battousai the manslayer in my home, the famous
hitokiri. Never mind that, How did he get here, in my home? "Oh, I remember
now," said Kaoru whose shinai now hung loosely at her side.
Flashback
Kaoru was returning from the market tofu in hand walking slowly. She turned
down the alley way and went into to the cloth store for some material . She
bought some red and gold cloth and a spool of gold thread.
"This was going to be her true masterpiece and I don't care about the
expenses" she thought.
She paid for the cloth and thread and then remembered that she would need
to accessorize in order for it to look perfect. I do not know why I'm going
through all of this spending all this money.
"Maybe I want to look gorgeous for once." I thought, "to prove to people
that she wasn't just some sweaty tomboy that only knew how to fight, but
knew how to be a lady." So maybe when I look in the mirror I see this woman
with grace, poise, and beauty. "They won't know what hit them" I thought.
So I headed into the accessory store but could not find anything to suit my
needs. Then I saw a black box on the floor, I picked it up, and opened it.
All I could think of was that it was perfect inside of the box was Chinese
(I do not know what you call those stick thingies that you put in your
hair, but that is what I'm talking about) hair sticks. They were shaped as
a gold dragon on each end and the sticks themselves were red and the eyes
were encrusted with diamonds.
"Wow" was all I could say at the moment how was I supposed to afford these.
So then I went up to the counter with them.
"Where did you find these?," asked the shopkeeper.
"In the back on the floor" I simply replied.
"Okay" said the lady
"How much for them?" I asked.
"Free of charge girl, I feel that you were destined to have them"
"Thank you" said Kaoru leaving the lady's store
Wow that sure was nice of her, thought Kaoru. Better get home now it
getting pretty late. So Kaoru walked down the stretch to her dojo
"It was quite late", I thought, "better hurry."
Unbeknownst to Kaoru five men had been following her four whom had been
working together to get the young maiden in front of them the other just an
onlooker fascinated by the scene in front of him that was about too
unravel.
"Hey there pretty!" "You know you shouldn't be out her so late at night ,
you could get hurt" " Do you need help with your packages ?"
"Why me, Why now" I thought to myself. The one day I did hide my shinai
under my kimono is the day that I get harassed what great luck I've got.
Just keep walking and ignore them and everything will be fine.
"You know it's not nice to ignore people" said the first guy as he grabbed
her. She threw her packages to the floor being extra careful with the tofu.
She grabbed his arm and flipped him onto his back with a thud.
