R & R longer note at the end

The brown haired shinobi walked silently through the forest her chosen companion following behind her, she turned to face the older woman as she roughly pushed tree's out of her path sighing behind her mask as the memory of her meeting with the woman came flooding back.

The girl pulled herself up as she panted reaching the top of the mountain sitting down making sure her mask was still secure, she looked around before her eyes stopped on a solitary figure stood at the far end, her messy black hair blew in the cold wind her torn jacket stood open showing her muscular form.

"State your business!" the girl jumped as her mask slipped a little from the booming voice of the woman before her "Do you wish to fight?" The girl scrambled to her feet quickly shaking her head as she slowly and carefully edged closer, the woman's gaze locked on the younger girl making her stop in her tracks.

"M-m-m-m-m-my name is Murakumo from G-g-g-g-g-g-gessen" the brunette stammered "I w-w-w-w-was sent to ask for you're a-a-a-a-assistance in a Yōma extermination, if your o-o-o-o-ok with this miss Daidōji then we sh-sh-sh-sh-should depart immediately".

"Murakumo of Gessen" Daidōji said uncrossing her arms as she approached causing Murakumo's body to freeze up from fear "Lead the way to my opponent's domain".

"We are close I can feel its power" Daidōji said suddenly causing the young girl to jump being brought out of her thoughts "You made a wise choice upon choosing me as a partner". Murakumo slowly nodded as she felt the same powerful aura, reaching back to grab her lance the two began to walk further reaching the mouth of a cave. Stopping outside the two shinobi could feel an overwhelming power radiating from within, Murakumo made to walk inside however she felt a strong hand place itself on her armour clad shoulder turning to see the older shinobi stopping her.

"Remain here" she said gently pulling the younger girl back "There is possibly more than one around hidden behind the more powerful being". The words of her leader came to her head as she locked eyes with the older woman nodding as she slowly stepped back allowing the older and more experienced shinobi walk into the cave entrance unaided.

Daidōji walked through the darkness of the cave her ears listening for any sound of movement unable to make out much of her surroundings, her thoughts turned to the brunette outside despite her timid nature she showed signs of promise to be a powerful shinobi in the future with the correct teacher.

She stopped for a moment looking directly in front of her as a vile smell began to fill the air, walking into a wide clearing she allowed her eyes to adjust to the sliver of light shining down from the cracks in the ceiling, once her eyes had adjusted they fell on a large multi-armed human like creature. It's many eyes locked on the shinobi before it as it growled showing its blood coated fangs, six spears glinted in the dim light as Daidōji stood her ground staring at the danger before her.

"My name is Daidōji, my fists and feet make the ground and heavens shake with fear. Your death will be swift" the black haired shinobi announced as the creature growled preparing for its attack, Daidōji let a small smirk play at her lips as she released her energy "Come!"

Murakumo panted as she fought off the waves of lesser Yōma attempting to enter the cave, her spear and cleaver clutched tightly in her hands as she cut down another wave the sounds of fighting echoed through the caves as the brunette looked over her shoulder. Satisfied she had dealt with any would be invaders she took off into the cave wondering if the other shinobi would need back up inside, she stopped suddenly as a sudden surge of power pushed her back where she stood the sound of the woman's voice echoed off the stone walls of the cave.

"Secret ninja art: Heaven and Earth Rumbling Spiral Leg" The woman's voice came as Murakumo forced her legs to move as she pushed her way through the whirlwind of energy surging from a clearing ahead, the sounds of a blood curdling screech caused the brunette to cover her ears as she continued to move.

Daidōji stood on the remains of the Yōma as she looked dissatisfied wondering if she had even been needed at all, she turned towards the opening hearing the sounds of footsteps as a purple haze began to form around the woman's body, ignoring the strange phenomenon Daidōji prepared herself for another battle.

"I-I-I-I-it's just me" came the timid voice of Murakumo as the white masked shinobi walked in her weapons at her side as Daidōji's guard softened a little "I-I-I-I thought you might n-n-n-n-need some help". The brunette looked around seeing the crushed body of the former Yōma as the older woman walked towards her, Murakumo watched as a strange feeling began to stir in her a small voice spoke into her mind.

"Something is wrong" the voice said as the image of her white fox spirit entered her mind "Her energy seems…odd, stay on guard". The brunette nodded to herself as the woman stopped in front of her, their eyes locking for a moment before the black haired woman suddenly snatched the mask from the girl's face in a flash.

"M-m-m-m-m-my mask" Murakumo said as she covered her beautiful features with her hands her shy personality taking full control as she peered at Daidōji through her fingers "R-r-r-r-r-return my mask p-p-p-p-p-p-please".

"Take it from me" Daidōji announced as she held out the white mask towards the girl who reached out to take it slowly as the older woman pulled it back "Too slow, try again. You're a shinobi use force". The brunette's mind replayed the warning from her fox spirit realising this must be what they had meant, she reached out again feeling the other woman bat her hand away with ease.

"Pathetic" the woman claimed as Murakumo tried once more to take her mask as the woman continued to bat her hand away "I said use force, fight me, punish me for taking your property". Murakumo took a deep breath as she tore off a piece of cloth from under her armour wrapping it around her face, feeling her confidence return Murakumo locked eyes with the woman her mind beginning to sharpen as she lunged for the teasing woman.

Murakumo's punches and kicks connected with the older woman's muscular form with little affect however a look of bliss seemed to cross her face as she continued to move into the attacks, after a few more seconds the older woman tossed the mask into air trapping the girl's leg as she twisted around tossing the girl to the floor as she positioned herself on the younger girl pinning her to the ground as he leaned down removing the make shift cloth mask.

"With some training you just might be worth my time" Daidōji said as she moved her face closer to Murakumo her cheeks going red as she saw the older woman's soft pink lips "Next time, let's have a rougher play". Without warning Daidōji's lips connected Murakumo's in a deep kiss, the soft feeling of the older woman's lips make Murakumo's tense body begin to soften as she felt her hands begin to trace the other woman's muscular arms.

Well here is the most unexpected and ambitious random ship I've ever plucked from the air, Daidōji X Murakumo...I really need to do more things for Murakumo she is so fun to write maybe something will happen in the future we shall see might not be this ship but I'm sure I can find a suitable girl for our lovely shy girl

Anyway that is it for the seven chapters I had planned however there has been requests made for an eighth chapter for a conclusion which I had considered depending on how I did this chapter but who am I to deny my lovely readers what they want so I'll happily write up an eighth chapter for a conclusion but you will have to bare with me since it'll be quite long since we have a lot to digest and I have a few other chapters for ongoing stories to finish up first

Also a thank you to Major Mike Powell III for pointing out I'd misspelled the last chapters name, honestly I type so fast and get so focused on finishing that I very rarely notice mistakes there are probably more but when I'm at a point of being able to go back through each story and fix them I will so please don't hesitate anyone to point out any other things I may have gotten wrong so when I do come to go back through them it will be easier to pin point the mistakes and fix them

Also thank you to everyone's understanding of my recent personal problems they are now on the mend so I should be able to get back to writing once more
