I suppose you could say that this was, in a way, meant to be a companion piece to "I'm Not Who I Am", but can be used on it's own. KenKasai was Kuina's little sister, and she didn't understand exactly how her sister died. She believed that Zorro pushed Kuina down those steps, despite the numerous times he denied it. She's also mad at him for taking her sister's sword. The pairing was intended to be that she meets Zorro out at some port and challenges him. She looses, sulks off, meets the others, and then, even after she becomes a greater swordswoman than before, can't kill him. Why? Because he means too much to her friends. She was then to join up with the StrawHats and then they fall in love. Kuina's sword is the same Sword of Fire meant to be mentioned in "I'm Not Who I Am". The sword's special ability is that it can channel anger or intense emotions into a blast of fire that could be used for an attack. The level of damage depends on the level of intensity of the emotion, as well as the emotion. Kuina didn't know about it, Zorro doesn't use it enough to acess it, which left KenKasai to figure it out. Kasumi got it when Kagura stole it from the StrawHats. Of course, most of the information below was for my use, and would have been removed if ever published here.

KenKasai stared longingly at the sun as it rose across the horizen, turning the sea a mixture of reds and blues. She stared, hoping to see a boat. She'd been waiting since she was five for one boat to come into the harbour. The boat carrying Roronoa Zoro. The man one whomshe blamed the death of her older sister, Kuina. Kuina had been twelve when she died, Zoro had been nine when he killed her. Kicking off her shoes and peeling off her clothes, she waded into the water, hoping not to think of her goal as she swam. She was going to be the best known swordswoman ever to roam the Earth. She was going to defeat Roronoa Zoro, get back her sister's sword, and claim her title as best swordswoman.

"What's this?" she wondered out loud as her leg hit something hard. Diving under, she retrived the object. It was a katana. Not just any katana though, it was white, with an unreadable inscription on the blade. And she was willing to bet that is belonged to Kuina. "Well, that's one less thing to do. I've got her katana, now all I've got to do is beat Roronoa and become the best," she said as she headed back to shore. The sun was rising higher, she had chores to do. And she was sure that Kuina's katana would be in desperate need of polishing. Sighing, she slipped her clothes back on and walked back to Chanbara, her village.

"Good morning, KenKasai," her father greeted the fifteen-year-old girl as she sat down at the table for breakfast. She had already hidden the sword in her room to be fixed up tonight.

"Good morning, Father," she replied.

"It is your birthday today, is it not?" he asked in that wise way that old people tend to talk.

"Yes, Father, it is."

"I have a gift for you," he told her.

"What is it, Father?" she asked, hoping for a new katana. Her current one was in it's last days and she wasn'thoping tofight with Kuina's.

"Here," he said as he handed her a lond, thin box. When she opened it, she saw a beautiful katana. It's sheath was a dark blue, and while the wrapping on the handle was new, the katana itself was not. It was, in fact, the katana her father was going to give Kuina for her fifteenth birthday.

"Oh, Father, I can't take this," she said as she tried to give it back to him.

"You will. It was going to gift it to the first of my children to reach the age fifteen. It is my most prized katana, and since Kuina died, it is yours," he insisted.

"Thank you, Father," she said.

"Go up to your room for the day, or do whatever you like. You will have no chores today."

"Thank you, Father," she said as she bowed to him before leaving to go to her room. She was going to make Kuina's katana shine, and with it, she would attain her goal. To kill Roronoa Zoro.


On the deck of the Going Merry Zoro stood staring out at the rising sun, reflecting on his bad luck. Just last week his most valuable katana, Kuina's, had been taken from him by someone from an enemy ship. He wouldn't have minded loosing his other two, but Kuina's was special. It was her's. Her white katana she'd beat him with the night before she fell. She'd only been twelve, too young to die. How could he have been so careless?
KenKasai sat with a rag in one hand, drenched in a secret formula her father had developed to keep katanas from rusting, and the white katana in the other. She started with the sheath, making it shine, before moving on to the blade. She'd been right, it had been Kuina's, for the words written on the side of the blade were "To my beloved daughter, Kuina"

"Prepare to meet your doom, Roronoa Zoro," she said to no one. "Because I'm coming to hunt you,"
