Prelude
&&&&&&&&&&
(Character's dream)
"You are what I need for my services," a man's echoed in her mind.
A raven-haired woman jerked around to look for where the mysterious voice was coming from. Her hair was tipped with platinum that lit the darkness around her. Her emerald green eyes shown little fear but still went on for the owner of this voice. The training outfit was black outlined with blue. The symbol of a dragon lied on her chest. Her katanas shook with her every move she made.
"Show yourself you coward!" she shouted into the darkness.
"Be glad to," the man laughed.
A man appeared out of the dark. The man had on a wolf-like pelt that covered his whole body. The skull covered the face of the man.
"What do you mean by what 'my services'?" she questioned harshly," the Yamatoro doesn't serve anyone."
The man laughed.
"That isn't true," the man scoffed.
She gritted her teeth as he spoke.
"You see I …"
(dream ends)
(character's POV): "Wake up," said a cheerful voice. I slowly opened my eyes and yawned. "Come on, wake up, the chief needs to see you," said the woman. She seemed very dainty and slim. Her chocolate brown hair was tied up by a ribbon but looked like it was falling out. Her chocolate brown eyes had a kind gaze to her face. She handed me a purple kimono and went outside of the hut.
'Damn, why did she pick this thing?' I thought in discus.
I changed into it and pulled my hair back into a ponytail. The woman came back in the room.
"You ready yet?" she asked.
"Hn, do I look like I'm ready?" I asked back.
She nodded her head to me.
(anime sweat drop)"Ok, follow me," she muttered a little afraid now.
I grunted and went out of the hut.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
(end of character's POV)
They two women walked on through the village as many men worked in the fields and children played in the grass. One group of people was in an area, practicing their skills. Few of them were fighting each other by swordplay. Their blades echoed in the air as they whipped around. Their bodies in mortal eyes are just blurs as they attacked one another. (a.n.: I think I'm getting off topic on the new character.) A flag with a dragon on it lashed around in the wind. The two women walked a little longer in silence before the brown-haired girl broke the silence.
"You know you could have been nicer to me when I asked you if you were ready," she blurted out.
"Well… if you didn't wake me I won't be like THIS," retorted the raven-haired woman.
As they ranted on they didn't realize that their chief was standing there watching them.
"QUIT BEING SO RUDE, USAGI!" yelled the brown-haired woman.
"WHY DON"T YOU MAKE ME, RURI!" Usagi shouted in Ruri's face.
Lighting shoot through the women's eyes as they glared at each other.
"By the name of the Yamatoro, you two shall stop this nonsense right now!" the chief roared in anger.
Usagi and Ruri both looked from each other and bowed while their faces flushed red.
"I'm sorry, sir," the two murmured.
The chief nodded to accept their apologies.
"Come here, Usagi, I need to speak with you," he said in a business like manner.
Usagi nodded and was motioned into to the hut.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
" I need to say something that regards the Yamatoro," said the chief.
"What is it sir?" asked Usagi ready to listen.
"Well, you know that we are a group of assassins, right?" Usagi nodded to agree. "Um…"
The room went into silence. Usagi was looking a bit nervous.
'What is he wanting me to know? Hopefully this isn't like my dream,' she thought.
"We are actually an army for… " The chief looked at Usagi uneasily.
"Who?" she asked," who is it that we work for?"
The chief gulped and stood.
"We are owned by a man named Naraku," he said in a shaky voice.
Usagi gasped.
"Thi-is can't b-be true," she stammered.
"It is true," he whispered.
Usagi stood there looking shock. Her dream was slowly coming to reality. Instead of the man covered in a wolf pelt, the chief told the truth.
"I needed you to know that before you go to his castle," he sighed.
Usagi shook her head and looked wide-eyed at the chief.
"WHAT?!?!" she said.
"I had just receive a message from him saying that he needed the strongest and fastest warrior out of the village," he sighed.
"And out of all the people you picked me?!?" she asked, starting to look a bit angry.
"You are yet THE fastest and THE strongest out of the men and women," he said in a positive tone.
"Why the hell would you pick a half-demon like me?" Usagi questioned.
"So far I've seen you in your training," he replied," you are very determined with your work and have learned quicker than anyone I've ever known."
Usagi looked kind of pissed, not knowing a man owned her AND she had to go to his castle to serve him.
"God damn it," she shouted.
She stormed out of the hut and the chief chased after her.
"Please don't go now, I still need to tell you the rest of the message," he begged.
She growled with impatience and stopped to listen.
" You have to go right after the sunsets," he said," someone will be at the hut to pick you up."
She grunted and stomped off to her house.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
She was in the forest that was right at the edge of the village. She was slinging her sword around.
'Why me? Doesn't the world ever rest on anyone else's shoulder?' she thought.
She violently swung at a tree. Instead of a crash from the tree, there was a whimper and fall from a person.
"Holy shit!" she shouted," I'm sorry."
A man sat up and was rubbing his head.
" Ow,' he bluntly murmured.
He had midnight black hair streaked with red and the length of it was waist length. He had the exact same training outfit as Usagi's. His slightly muscular figure was easily curved by the outfit and was stretched as he got up from the ground. His sapphire blue eyes gleamed in the sun.
"Speak of the devil," she sneered.
"What are you doing out here?" he asked.
"No, what are YOU doing here?" Usagi asked back but in a teasing manor.
They both glanced at each other for a while.
"I would like to know first why are you are here," Usagi said.
She was now stretching out her arms.
"I was wanting to ask you something," he smirked.
"Shot," she replied.
He blushed for a moment and looked do at the ground.
"I would like to know if you like me?" he said blushing 10 colors of red.
Usagi stood there for a bit also blushing.
" Haven't really thought about it," she remarked in a shocked.
"I need to know," he said in desperation.
"Yasuo," she whispered.
She had a crush on him for some while. She didn't expect he to go up and ask her if she liked him.
"I know you are going away to Naraku's castle but what if you don't co…"
"How did you know that I was going to Naraku's castle?" she snapped.
"I heard from the chief," he said glumly.
She yelled as she struck one of the trees beside her with one of her katanas.
"Hopefully, you will return to me after you deal with the mission," he said in confidence.
She looked up from the tree she took down and gave a discouraging look.
"I'm not ready for a relationship yet," she said not trying to hurt his feelings," when I'm looking for one, I'll come to you."
He smiled at her answer.
"So is there a chance?" he asked.
Usagi didn't answer. Instead, she quickly vanished. He looked around for her image in the forest. Suddenly there was a scream from behind the bushes. Yasuo rushed over and uncovered a woman with blonde hair screaming in fear. She was wearing a white kimono and it was a little dirty from Usagi wrestling her to the ground. Her chocolate brown eyes shown fear of her attacker. Usagi looked quite pissed at her.
"You listened to our conversation didn't you, Kei?" she growled.
Kei screamed again as Usagi was pushed up against a near by tree by Yasuo.
"Usagi, why did you do that?" he said in shock.
"She listened to our conversation behind that bush," she shouted as she pointed to Kei.
"I didn't mean to," she whimpered," I was looking for you to say that you are needed back at the chief's hut for the ride to Naraku's castle."
Yasuo let go of Usagi.
"I would like to walk Usagi there," he said to Kei.
Kei nodded and went to the village. Yasuo helped Usagi to her feet.
"Thanks," she growled.
"Why so mad?" he asked in curiosity.
"I don't like people knowing my secrets," she huffed.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
(Chief's POV): A while has past sense I have sent Kei out.
"Where is she? She is suppose to be here by now," I said impatiently.
I sat in front of my house for a long time before a voice shouted to me in the distance.
"Chief!" yelled Kei as she ran to me.
She looked very tired, as there were beads of sweat going down her face.
"Yes, Kei, what is it?" I said cheerfully.
"She is coming," she huffed.
I gazed of into the distance to find Usagi but where was she. I could she her walking to where I stood. I sighed and followed my arms. Kei sat next to me and sighed. We both watch the sun slowly set on the horizon. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew out from the east and a figure appeared. The figure had its hair up in a bun and was wearing a striped kimono. It had a fan at its side and by the looks of it, that thing was a woman. When she can into view, there were feathers in her bun. Her crimson eyes showed the coldness in her heart. I got up and cautiously reached for the handle of my katana.
"There is no need for that old man," she said in a haunting voice," I came for Naraku's assistant."
I took my hand away from my blade and motioned her to my hut.
"She isn't here yet but she will be here," I responded.
(End of Chief's POV):
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Usagi and Yasuo had just got into the village was about to reach Chief's hut.
"This is where I'll leave you," he said stopping.
Usagi nodded and stopped with him. Suddenly, a sensation went up her spin as Yosau's lips gently brushed against her. He kissed her goodbye and left. Her face turned blood red as she put her fingers on her lips.
'Ok, what just happened there?' she thought, ' oh my god.'
She looked at the sun and it was almost gone. She realized that she was late. She quickly ran to the hut not know what was going ahead for her life.
