Chapter 3
Utsusemi and his now four ninja warriors headed for the old Meikyokan monastery, a strange aura of doom seemed to surround the place. They ascended the stairs and when they reached the top two guards were slain.
"leave here and meet me at the abandoned train station." He instructed
The ninja left as he advanced into the monastery his sword drawn all the guards were killed, it seemed as though they all died from puncture wounds. Utsusemi looked around him and then he remembered the Yuguri "the cursed sword". He ran to the chamber where it was held and kicked open the door, a very pale man was standing over the two dead guards that kept watch over the Yuguri. The man was thin with long white hair, he held a yari in his hands.
"Get away from there you swine," Yelled Utsusemi.
"I'm only here to take back what is ours," replied the man in a light wispy voice "and I will kill you too if that's what it comes to."
"you wont so much as lay a hand on that sword!"
Utsusemi advanced to the man trying to get in close range of him so he could execute an attack, but the yari he held distanced him from the man. The man started to jab at him with the yari while keeping his distance. Utsusemi did his best to block and parry the attacks, though his foe was relentless. Utsusemi overshot one of his blocks and went off balance. The pale man took this opportunity and jabbed for his face he strafed out of his way but the edge of the spearhead sliced open his cheek. Blood coursed down the side of his face and he went in for another attack. He attacked in wide sweeping arcs, his blade flashing in the torch light. The man walked back not getting in the range of his blade, he brought his yari back and went in for a powerful thrust. Utsusemi dodged quickly but still got his side cut by the edge of the spearhead, he saw his side exposed and swept his sword in a large arc. The blade sunk into his side and it bathed itself in his blood. Utsusemi dragged the blade through the wound and then out, the man fell to floor silently.
Utsusemi left the body and ran for the abandoned train station.
