Nanakiyoda: Gomen for not updateing for a while but I recently got back in contact with one of my old friends. Thank Kami-sama he's a gamer like myself...

Tealraptor: Thats not a good enough excuse!

Nanakiyoda: Shut-up. Kuso, you are annoying.

BTW: Later that day in town.

A few people were stareing at me as I walked towards the clinic for my shoulder. It wasn't in concern for my shoulder but rather the Katana I held in my hand and the infamous blood soaked Hoari of the Battousai. Let them think whatever they want. I have only one target. I entered the clinic and looked around. A woman walked up to me and grabbed my arm, dragging me inside a room, then shut the door. She was a bit taller than me and had her black hair down. She was wearing a dark blue kimono with white Sakura flowers embroidred along the hem. She turned to look at me, studiying me. Faint traces of white plum. Her perfume.

"Why do you have that Katana? Why do you wear that Hoari?" She asked monotonusly. Hm. Interesting...she seems to know that these aren't mine.

"In honor of a great warrior. He must not be forgotten. No one should be." I answered, imploring her to reveal identity without revealing my own.

"A great warrior? They are the Battousai's. He was just an assasin." She spoke without any emotion. She knew him. Could this be the infamous Tomoe?

"Really? Hm. Who might you be to have known of Battousai?" I asked, dareing her to.

" I am Tomoe Tsukiaka. The woman who last saw the Battousai alive." She spoke, her voice a little jerky. She means the woman who betrayed him. Better be polite.

"I am Kamiya Kaoru, assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin Dojo. It is an honor to meet the woman who ultimately led the Battousai to his death." I said and bowed. I shot my hand up and caught her own, my thumb pressing into the pressure point on her wrist, forcing the dagger she had tried to draw out and attack me with out of her hand. I stood back up, released her wrist and kicked the dagger away. She backed away. Sneaking around to kill me? I'm too used to that already. Damn Hirosha and his assasins.

"What do you know?" She spout angrily. So she does express some of her emotions.

"Everything. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to have my shoulder stitched up. As you have noticed by now, I am injured." I said and started to leave but she walked towards me.

"Allow me. I work here. I guess I owe it to you for not killing me." She said, motioning for me to let her see the wound. I don't kill people. I allowed her to examine the wound and stitch it up. Neither of us said a word the entire time. She finished quickly and I redressed.

"I do not kill. I'd rather take my own life." I said as I turned to leave. I heard her mutter something as I left but didn't pay attention to it. She doesn't deserve my attention. I continued my walk through town until I ran across Misao trying to buy a Kimono. I walked up to her and she turned around. She frowned when she saw the new blood on the Haori.

"Is that yours?" She asked, ignoring the salesman completely. He turned around and left.

"Yes. Where is Aoshi?" I asked. I need to get this job done. Then I can have some rest.

"Um...I thinks he's...Oh yeah! Follow me!" She yelled out and grabbed my wrist, dragging me to whatever place Aoshi was at. This girl is too energetic for her own good. We ran through the streets of Tokyo to a nearby forest. She led me up a hill to where Aoshi was practicing his Swordsmanship. He was fast. Barely a blur. He was also fighting with Kodachis. He disappeared. I braced myself and got into a defencive position. He didn't attack me though. He appeared behind Misao. She turned and fell back. Aoshi caught her but went down and hit the ground with her. He got back up, then turned to assist her up as well. This is boring.

"Misao, I thought I told you not to disturb me while I pratice." Aoshi said sternly. Misao stuck her tongue out at him. How childish...then again, she can't be but 16 years old.

"I didn't want to but Koaru asked for you." She said in her defence and he nodded his head.

"What is it Miss Kamiya?" He asked, turning to me. I put the katana away. I need to tell him.

"I am going to go kill Hirosha tonight. If I should fail, You must take Yahiko with you to wherever you live. The Dojo will no longer be safe after tonight. If you wish, You may complete the job, but wait a couple of months to strike. This will lessen the chance of failure. If I should succeed, you must leave my Dojo for your own safety. Do you understand?" I asked. Aoshi nodded. Misao jumped to say something but Aoshi cut her off.

"Tonight, that's fine. I wish to accompany you. I must make sure that Hirosha dies. Misao, you will stay with Yahiko and guard him." Aoshi said. I agreed. Misao started to protest but was cut off when Aoshi kissed her. I turned and walked away, giving them some privacy. I don't care if it costs me my life, but tonight Hirosha, you will die.
