Sip of blood felt from a long katana. The black clothing of the ninja was covered with the crimson blood of a human being, slowly agonising at the feet of the ninja. The ninja watched the man until it gave out his last breath before disappearing from the building of the man.

The ninja didn't care if he was recorded, it was the opposite. He wanted to be recorded on the security camera.

What could be more sensational than a ninja in modern days murdering an innocent? A monster from Katana World doing the murder for no reason at all.

Chapter 94: The Ninja Who Hurt Hinako

Zanya was eating his breakfast while his father was watching the news. He was still in a grim mood and his younger brother was distant of him. The teenage boy adjusted his glasses as he grew worried for his little brother who didn't come to eat yet. He saw him very little since their argument about Tsukikage treason. Eventually, the news grabbed him back to reality.

"-We just received an anonymous mail with a video on it. We analysed it and it was something we won't show up to you, but there had been a murder of a member of the Liberal Party yesterday and it was the second committed by the same killer.-"

His father stood up and grunted, "Who revealed that video?"

- His body was found in his chamber and was murdered by a monster from Katana world. The image as been recognised as a rogue monster named Tsukikage. The monster is the buddy of Zanya Kisagari.-"

"He's not my buddy anymore," the boy in question declared.

"Son. You will have to take responsibility and answer to the journalist questions. They are surely going after you after this has been revealed. Also, you will have to defend your honor tarnished by Tsukikage," his father warned him.

They both heard Akatsuki yelling with horror and distress, "That's not true! Tsukikage would never do that!"

The two climbed the stairs and saw Akatsuki watching a video in the internet showed Tsukikage murdering the man with his katana and watching the man agonising.

Zanya gulped in disgust and new there was one thing he had to do now. He knew it would be extremely hard since his ex-buddy was made of nanomachine. Even if he didn't want to think about it, I have to stop Tsukikage. I have to... Kill him. He saw his deck left on Akatsuki table. He didn't reprimand his brother; he suffered enough with seeing the video.

His father gazed at his son and didn't know what was on his mind and couldn't ask him anything, busy consoling the younger one.

Hinako watched the news and frowned when she was it, This is awfully convenient for Tenchi that this happens... but it's just coincidence. She concluded with what the news said.

She stretched her arms as she already mentally planned what her replied would be when the journalist will ask her questions about what happened and what the Buddy Police Force would do. She knew the first problem was that it was Tsukikage, a monster who was working for the Buddy Police force. Just that action already hurt strongly her support and it would be hard to reclaim it. She checked her hair and made didn't touch it.

She stretched her arms once again as she walked toward the window of her residence and looked outside. It was a sunny day, but she felt like it was a storm coming at her with the news continuing in the background. She grabbed her pocket and frowned.

"What's with this bad feeling?" she wondered.

The woman heard something and turned around. She wondered what made the sound. She walked toward the source of the sound and looked around. She was a little nervous when she heard something. She continued searching for the source of the sound and walked forward. After a while, she sighed, "Maybe I'm a little too nervous."

She walked in the kitchen and she prepared a coffee. She grabbed sugar and her cup and waited. As she waited, she checked her cellphone and got many messages and mails from the Party and Commander I, probably about the situation, "I'll just relax a little before dealing with this problem."

She served her coffee and she drank it slowly and gasped when she realised she forgot to add sugar and milk. She added it and drank all of it. When she finished, she smiled and sighed.

She walked in the living room and stopped when she heard a sound again coming from behind her. She turned around and saw nothing. She frowned and tried searching for what made the sound, It feels like a horror movie during a sunny day. The moment where you feel that nothing could hurt you. She lightly felt nervous as she felt someone watching her. She looked around, trusting her instinct and put her hand in her pocket. She wondered who was watching her and was ready to defend herself against anyone coming at her.

She heard a sound and jumped backward. She saw something in the floor and gasped when she realised it was a shuriken on the ground. She raised her head and saw, holding on the ceiling, Tsukikage with another shuriken in his hand and ready to throw it at her.

"Tsukikage! Why are you doing this?"

The ninja didn't reply, not even with a nin and threw the shuriken. She dodged it again and took what was in her pocket and thought, He's going to murder me like the two other's.

She took a deck case out of her pocket and tried drawing the card she needed when Tsukikage came at her with his katana ready to slash him. She checked around and grabbed something and threw it at the ninja and hit his face. He slashed trying to aim her, even if he was blind, with his katana and Hinako took her chance to pass behind the ninja and searched for the card with the seconds she managed to win.

Tsukikage came near her and slashed with his katana. She picked a card and turned it into her own katana and blocked the blade. She was thrown against the couch of the living room and painfully grunted as she slowly stood up, "That ninja is strong and I'm not good with a katana like Zanya. I really need to find the right card."

She saw shurikens coming at her and ducked as the shurikens passed behind her and landed on the floor. She sighed in relief, but saw the ninja just over her. She dodged his strike as the couch was cut in half and blocked his next attack with her katana before it was thrown away. She then saw more shurikens and tried to dodge them. Two of them pierced her stomach and one her arms and she felt on the ground. A small pool of blood was forming when she saw him coming to her. She searched in her deck case, knowing it was a do or die situation.

She smiled when she drew the card she needed in order to survive, "Electron Ninja Shiden! I Invoke You!"

Tsukikage saw the light and jumped back, ready to fight what was coming at him.

A purple ninja with a red scarf around his neck and red eyes appeared in front of her. He looked like a cybertronic ninja as he drew his katana hidden in his back, "Who's my target lady Hinako?" He saw Tsukikage readied his katana and took his battle stance.

Shiden did the same, easily guessed it was his target. He gazed at the nanomachine ninja and thought, Something is wrong? Tsukikage isn't the type to do something like that. "Tsukikage. What's wrong with you?"

Tsukikage didn't answer or even let out a nin. Shiden knew enough about the other ninja to know something unnatural happened. He knew he had to give everything he had.

The two ninja charged and their blade collided as they tried to pierce the other ninja defenses. As the two dueled, Hinako searched for a phone and grabbed it. She called Commander I and told him that Tsukikage was currently inside and fighting against Shiden, her buddy guard.

Shiden ducked and countered with a low kick and made the black ninja felt on the ground, but Tsukikage was already back on his feet and ready to fight. He threw shuriken at the purple ninja, but the other one deviated them with his katana and threw some of his own.

The two frowned at each other's and stood there. They gazed at their surrounding as they changed strategy. Shiden knew that Tsukikage objective, in his current state, was to murder Hinako, so he had to protect her while his was to stop or hold down. He also knew that his adversary was more powerful and experienced than many ninja from his world, including himself.

The two charged again and entered in another sword fight as they tried to pierce each other's defense again, Tsukikage is less strong than before? Something is really up if he strikes slower than the usual, he thought before refocusing on the fight.

He was suddenly kicked on his chest and almost lost his balance, just before doing a back jump and used an electric rope to grab the wrist of Tsukikage who tried attack Hinako and pulled him back toward him.

Hinako searched in the card to protect herself from anyone trying to attack her and might help her. She watched Tsukikage and waited to see what he would do. She needed to remained focus on the battle.

Shiden was stabbed on his gut and painfully grunted before slashing at the side and damaging the chest of Tsukikage. The two took a safe distance and watched the other one move.

Tsukikage threw a shuriken toward Hinako who used her spellcard, "Art Of Body Replacement!"

The shuriken missed her when she was near the exit of her room. When the black ninja focused on her, Shiden took his change and threw a kunai that hit the shoulder and tried to subdue Tsukikage, but his blade was blocked. It wasn't long before the battle continued until Tsukikage suddenly jumped away and ran away.

The two watched the sudden action confusingly until Shiden heard the siren, "The Buddy Police Force is coming."

Hinako nodded and she sat on the ground. Now that the danger was away, she let her fear dominate her for a few seconds and vented it out, "That was intense," before grunting again when the pain came back.

Shiden checked her wounds and said, "You'll need to get doctor check on you Hinako."

She nodded, "Thanks."

"What are your orders now?"

"Just stand by, maybe he's not really gone."

Shiden nodded and grew a little worried with Tsukikage actions. Once it was over, he decided to return to Katana world and figured out if there might have some answers.

When the Buddy Police Force arrived, Hinako explained the events that occurred there. She contacted Commander I and said that Tsukikage must be arrested at all cost after hearing the personal thought of Shiden on the black ninja.
