It was another typical sunny Saturday day in Tokyo, Japan. Yeah, another normal day for Kaoru Kamiya, assistant master of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. She had been shopping around town for her father's birthday gift.
She found and bought a new bokken and thought that was the perfect gift. She walked home enjoying the sounds of the city.
She then looked up and saw the sun was starting to set. "Oh, boy I better get home quick. The streets are dangerous at night," she said as she started to take off at a run.
She kept on running until she saw an old shack in an alley.
Curiosity got the best of her so she walked toward the shack. Once there, she peeked in. What a dump, Kaoru thought.
Carefully she stepped into the shack to find old rags all over the floor along with broken pieces of wood. Kaoru walked all around the shack and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"Okay, that was weird. A strange feeling came over me and then nothing. Shit! Nothing adventurous happens to me," Kaoru whined.
Kaoru turned around and started for the door but then something red caught her eye. Carefully, Kaoru went over to the other side of the shack. There she saw what she thought was dry wrought on the wall.
Carefully she put her hand on it and wiped some off to inspect it closely. Nothing out of the usual happened.
"This almost looks like…dried BLOOD!" she said aloud
Ew! Kaoru thought while wiping her hand on anything to get the blood off.
"Oh, this is just great," Kaoru said aloud to no one.
Kaoru looked outside and the sun was now gone and the moon was rising.
"Oh, fuck! Now I'm going be late for my dad's birthday. I got to hurry home or I'm dead meat," Kaoru thought as she took off out of the shack and started towards her home.
Little did she know she was being watched from the shadows of the shack by a pair of amber eyes.
"Thank you my little firefly for freeing me. Now it will my pleasure to kill you," it said.
