Chapter 2
Back in the Ryu-Sei's village main house the young man appeared on one knee and bowed his head "Grandfather...I have returned." he said as he places a cloth of blood with a clan symbol on it on the floor.
"Good job...grandson..." said Jin.
"Hai..." he said as he bowed his head down further.
"Now...Grandson I need you to go to Wu Sho village and investigate...there are some clans I want to be disposed of...find out what they are planning, then kill the leaders, and then report what you have found out." said Jin.
"Yes Grandfather." He said.
He bowed his head and vanished in thin air, he was standing outside a room. He looked up at the moon in the sky, then looked at the door and reached out and slid the door open. He entered the room, closing the door behind him. He took a few steps forward before kneeling down by an empty futon. He folded the futon and set it to his side as he reach down and lifted a loose floor mat revealing many different swords and weapons. He reached for a sword that stood out from the rest and held it straight up in front of him.
"Xiryushi...it's been a long time..." he said, as he reached behind him and removed a sword, he had strapped to his back, and set them down under the floor board.
He strapped the sword named Xiryushi to his left hip. He reached down and grabbed a few kunais and shurikens. He grabbed the removed floor board and placed it back over the hidden weapons and rolled the futon back over it. He got up as someone walked to the room door and knelt down.
He heard a soft voice from a woman say "Shouren."
"Yes...Yuka?" said Shouren
"May i enter Shouren?" asked Yuka.
"No...I'm about to leave right now." Shouren said as he walked over and slid the door open revealing a young beautiful woman.
She stood up and brought her hand up and brushed a little bit of her silky brown hair to the side. She had light hazel eyes and stood about 5'6, and was wearing a cherry blossom kimono.
"I see sorry to have bothered you Shouren." said Yuka.
"It's alright...I don't mind." he said.
She looked down at his hip and saw the sheathed sword Xiryushi.
"Is the mission that serious...for you to have brought that out Shouren?" she asked.
"No...I'm just bringing it out because I'm not the same without it by my side." he said as he looked down at the sword.
"I've had this sword since I was appointed as the head of shadow of darkness...this sword has all my secret techniques hidden in this black and crimson blade..." Shouren said.
"I see...well come back to us safe...alright?" she asked.
He nods his head as he slid the door closed behind him, and walked down the pathway and vanished.
