Book 1: Land of Iron


Chapter 38:

Victor


Despite the creepy smile she directed at him before the fights started, InuYasha was impressed.

Any similarity to Kagome ended there because the woman kicked ass. She dominated the first three opponents -including Baldy by disarming much to his embarrassment.

Nothing was more humiliating to a samurai than to lose control of your blade.

InuYasha may have cackled a bit when it happened. Served Baldy right.

Her last two opponents were significantly more difficult for her but the Uzumaki woman still came out top dog in the end.

Well done, lady.

He was almost sad she would leave tomorrow.

Almost.


Mifune couldn't stop himself from leveling a fond look on the rebellious woman before him. He still remembered when she used to pick her nose and wipe it on the linens of samurai who had displeased her in some way.

She was a headache, but she had always excelled with the blade. Yojimbo was foolish to challenge her and call their honor into question.

Mifune raised a hand calling for silence, head nodding to the victor.

"As expected of the Uzushio style. You have done well in your progression, Uzumaki-hime. Name your choice and it shall be honored."

She did.
