Hey everyone, back again. I hope you enjoyed the first 6 chapters, because here comes number 7!
Chapter 7: Tsuruka Vs. Kensai
As Kensai began to walk to the hot spring, he noticed a figure moving outside. Looking over, he saw that Motoko was busy practicing her swordsmanship. "Hey! How's it going?" Kensai interrupted. Motoko looked over at Kensai, blushed slightly and went back to practicing. "Would you like some pointers?" Kensai offered smiling kindly. Motoko went a deeper red. "I …I guess I could use some." "Ok, cool. First, come at me like you did last time, but this time, don't hold back." Motoko looked very shocked. "How did you know that I was…." "What?" Kensai replied smirking. "You don't' think I realized? I know you're better than that. Come on, I won't use a weapon." "Well, ok…" Motoko said putting her sword in the ready position. "If you're sure…" "I'm sure." Kensai chuckled a bit. And with that ok, Motoko raced towards him.
"Well well well… what's going on here?" A voice from the shadows asked coldly. Motoko stopped dead where she was. "That voice… no, it couldn't be." Motoko thought to herself. Stepping out of the darkness, it was just who she feared. "Well hello again…. sister." Tsuruka smiled.
"Oh, why, hello sister." Motoko said nervously. Confused by this whole turn of events, Kensai decided it was best to say something. "Um, hello." He said happily but confused at the same time. "So you're Motoko's sister. It's very nice to meet you. I can tell by your disposition and balance that you are a martial artist that specializes in swordsmanship just like your sister." Kensai said still smiling. "Hmm, you seem to know your martial arts." She said smiling back at him. "Motoko, it's time I took you back home." She said motioning to Motoko. "I…. I…" Motoko tried to get some words out "I'm not sure if I'm ready to." "You don't have a choice." She smiled deviously. "What's going on?" asked Kensai still confused. Tsuruka decided to clue him in. "She's the heir to our family's sword school and she has to take it over eventually unless she gets married." Kensai looked over to Motoko. "Do you want to leave?" he asked her, a bit depressed. "Um… I'm still not ready to leave." She told her sister. "Well, the rule still stands. You have to defeat me." Kensai interrupted. "Hey, I have an idea. You face me. If you win, Motoko can go home with no complaints. If I win, she stays here for as long as she wants, and you can't ask her to anymore." Tsuruka smiled. "Fair enough. Tell you what. Not only will I leave her alone, but I'll give you my consent for you to marry her." Kensai blushed. "But…I…" "Motoko, do you accept?" Tsuruka asked. Motoko was completely flabbergasted. She remained silent for about a minute before she finally raised her head and said, "Ok, yes. You have my permission." "That's all I wanted to here." Her sister replied with a smile on her face. "Now, draw your sword." She said to him smirking. "oh, I won't be using a sword." Kensai smiled innocently back. "Oh, confident are we? Well then, let's begin!" She said as she disappeared. Kensai just smiled. "Geez, she's using THIS trick? Why not just scream "LOOK OVER THERE!" Kensai thought to himself as he jumped two feet backwards and flew one of his feet in the air and halted his foot as Tsuruka reappeared, his foot being 2 inches from her face. "Is that the best you got?" Kensai smirked. Tsuruka however managed to keep her cool. "You're pretty good. I can see you're better than Motoko, but why didn't you hit me? You had a clean shot." "Oh, that's simple." Kensai said smiling. "I don't like hitting people." "But how do you expect to win if…" "Don't worry about it." Kensai smiled innocently. "Come on," he said motioning with his hand.
By this time, everyone from Hinata house had gathered around the fight. "Wow! He just dodged Tsuruka's blow like it was nothing!" Mitsune said astonished. Haruka blew some smoke from her cigarette. "I see, he's gotten that good." Shinobu turned back to Haruka. "Who do you think will win?" she asked her wonderingly. "At his current skill level, it's no contest. Kensai will end this shortly." "You're kidding!" Mitsuen said astonished. "Just watch." Haruka said pointing at the fight. Sure enough, Tsuruka threw out her big guns, the "Thunder bolt cutter blade." Kensai smirked. "Easy enough to counter…" and disappeared. The blow destroyed some of the building as it completely missed Kensai. Reappearing, he ended up standing next to her on her right as he poked her sword in three different places and disappeared again and reappeared in front of her.
As the smoke cleared, Kensai smiled. "So, you won't fight me?" Tsuruka said, getting a vein on her forehead. "I don't need to." Kensai smiled. "Huh?" Tsuruka said confused as she looked down at her sword. It wobbled for a bit before, "SHATTER!" the blade shattered into about one hundred pieces that landed in the ground with a "tinkle".
Tsuruka looked at her broken hilt and then at Kensai. "I see you are much more skilled than I though. I know when I'm defeated. She can stay, and, you are now engaged to Motoko. I'll come at the wedding." She said as she called her phoenix and walked away, putting away her hilt. "But…but…" Kensai began as he looked over to where Tsuruka had just been. "What had just happened?" Kensai thought to himself. "Me and Motoko..engaged?" he thought for a moment as he shook himself out of it. "That's just silly." And looked over to Motoko as he started to laugh a bit. "Forget what she said." Kensai Smiled nervously. "The good news is, now you can stay here." He said as he walked over to Motoko and placed his hands on her shoulders, her head being down. She looked up and said with a small voice, "Thank you, Husband."
