Chapter 2 - Kenzo Taishu
A eye-blinding light of white formed around my body as it disappeared. It then reformed. I looked at my hands and it was darker, yellowish. I looked at my clothes. I was wearing a huge red and black ceremonial kimono with brown gauntlets, black sweat pants, and black winter boots. I looked so medievalish. Eurpean type. As I pondered this thought I remembered Dr. Davis told me that Kenzo was Asian, and that I was in Japan. I then stopped moving and let my ancestor take control.
Kenzo Taishu, Japan 16th Century
It was a normal day of going to the market to buy food to feed my family. I had a large one at that. I'm the 2nd oldest. Xicor is the oldest, I am the second oldest, Neil is the third brother, then there is Zaiko, the youngest. Xicor is 21, I'm 19, Neil 18, Zaiko 13. Then my 2 sisters Stesara (Pronounced: Sta/Stuh - Sara) is 20, then my other sister, Ayano is 19. Same age as me. Mom is 36 and Dad, Takashi, is 37. As I was walking I bumped into my girlfriend who was also buying food for the month. Her name is Shyeena(Pronounced She - nuh) and she is 18, a year younger, but she looked 21. "Hi, I never seen you in a dive like this Shyshy" (Pronounced: Sheshe). Shyshy was my nickname for her.
"Likewise, how's it going?"
"Very well, and you?"
"Bad, but better"
"What has happened my love?"
"Nothing to worry about. I'm fine" She turned her head after she said that.
"Nothing to worry about eh, your a really bad liar"
"Fine I'll tell you" She said pouting.
"All ears"
"3 days ago someone stole my money. He was an old man and I tailed him. He met up with some guards and said something about executing your family. He then saw me. He and the guards tried to kill me, then..."
"Then?"
"I killed them. ALL of them!" She said that with looks of horror in her face and almost broke into tears.
"Calm down. It was self defense"
"How can you be so calm! I killed someone! Kenzo, I have something to tell you"
"What? What's with you today? Did something happen? I haven't seen your Dad or brothers since 2 weeks ago, and you've been acting strange."
She then goes to Kenzo's ear and says
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
"Huh" Kenzo said confused.
Shyeena grabbed a knife and stabbed Kenzo in the stomach.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Before walking off Shyeena says
"Remember what I said and in time you'll see me again"
"Why?! Am I gonna die?" Kenzo says feeling his punctured guts move around in his stomach. He lost consciousness.
5 Hours Later
Kenzo awakens in the street that he last seen before blacking out. Its 10:00PM and Kenzo rushes to his house knowing he'll probably get yelled at. He returned home to a screaming Zaiko. The house was a mess and everything, including glass, was on the floor. "What the hell happened here Zaiko?"
"Xicor killed Mom and called guards to the house. They took Dad and the others to prison. They'll be executed tomorrow."
"What! Dammit! Your not safe here Zaiko. I know you hid from the guards or else you wouldn't be here. I'll take you somewhere safe."
"Okay onii-chan!" He replied without hesitation.
Kenzo went to Shyeena's house. He knocked but there was no answer. He then had a flashback of what happened before he blacked out earlier. He figured she left. He broke open the door only to see Shyeena's parents and brothers corpses.
'Shyeena' he thought.
He searched the corpses to see a necklace and a note. The necklace has a red and silver cross and the note said. 'Kenzo, I know your here. I have left this city. I have killed my family and abandoned the survivers. You will not understand my reasonings nor do I want you too. But you have to. Just know that this is linked to your family's death - Shyeena'. Kenzo then looked at the back of the letter. It said 'My room' in Japanese. Following this clue he went to Shyeena's room and saw a bunch of knives and a sword. On the wall of her room it said 'Take it' in blood. Kenzo took it. He knew he would need it to rescue his family. He told Zaiko to stay in Shyeena's room and gave him some throwing knives just in case. He then went to the prison the next day. He then seen all his family on their knees with dozens of guards. In Japanese executions in this city. You were either beheaded or told to commit Seppuku (a Japanese way of suicide). His family had to commit seppuku. Kenzo grabbed all of his throwing knives and threw them at the guards. His family broke out and stole the guards' swords. They then made a run for it but Takashi was stabbed in the neck in the process. They all made it to an abandoned building. Takashi, knowing his time was up told Kenzo about the Assassin's and Templars and revealed he was an Assassin while Xicor was a Templar. He then told Kenzo of his secret hideout in Osaka. Then he closed his eyes and passed away.
"Be right back I have to get Zaiko guys" Kenzo said as he left.
He got Zaiko and brought him to the abandoned building they then traveled to the secret hideout in Osaka. They made it there at 1:00AM. His hideout was actually an underground mansion. They than slept. Shocked, betrayed, devastated, and shocked in limbo, waiting for this horrible night to end. Kenzo is going to get to the bottom of this.
"Shyeena, Zaiko, then this! WHAT THE HELL! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
As he yelled into the sunrise Kenzo then passed out of exhaustion.
