I don't own For Honor or RWBY just the OCs and the plot.
The Dawn Samurai Part Two
(Swamp Lands, Midnight)
After the deaths of the Beowolves, Miki being too injured to move properly was carried by the Nobushi who had a surprising amount of strength.
But after what seems like hours well to Miki that is, probably due to her injuries, the Nobushi had taken her to what seems to be her den as the two of them entered a cave.
After entering the den, the Nobushi set Miki down against the cave wall near the cave entrance as the Nobushi went deeper inside the cave.
While the Nobushi was occupying herself doing who knows what, Miki was rubbing her arms to keep herself warm from the nights cold.
As Miki rubbed her arms, the Nobushi soon came back from the cave only this time there was a light in it.
The Nobushi picked up Miki and carried her to the deeper part of the cave.
Once the two of them were in the deeper part of it, Miki saw the things that were in the Nobushi's den.
Miki saw a campfire which turned out to be the source of light inside the cave, a metal pot, a basket full of herbs, a grinding bow, a bow, a quiver full of arrows, and various supplies and weapons like two identical katanas but one was in a white colored sheathe with pink cherry blossoms on it while the other was a black colored sheathe with blood red flowers on it. Miki also saw a kunabo which was strange to have such a weapon in the den of the Nobushi, but after what has happened earlier Miki figured that there must be others of the Samurai faction somewhere around here.
The Nobushi set Miki down on a soft pelt of animal fur.
Miki tried to move but when she tried to do it, a surge of pain jolted through her.
"Gah!" Miki cried out.
Soon after Miki felt hands on her body keeping her down.
"Relax." The Nobushi spoke for the first time as Miki turned her head to look at the warrior. "You're hurt badly, so try no move so much, I have something that will help ease the pain." She said. She then rolled Miki to her side and grabbed a piece of wood from the fire and started pressing it onto her wounds.
"Aaahhh!-mmmmm" Miki screamed out but was immediately silence when the Nobushi quickly turned her face so that it was faceplanted into the cold hard floor of the cave.
The Nobushi cauterized Miki's wounds until she tosses the piece of wood back into the fire. The cauterization of Miki's wound was only a temporary means of stopping the bleeding of the wounds as the Nobushi only pressed the fire wood onto her for a minute before removing it.
The Nobushi then got up and headed for the pile of herbs and the grinding bowl right next to them, so for the next few minutes the Nobushi spent it mixing various herbs and grinding them into the mixing bowl.
The Nobushi soon came back to Miki as she kept making low groaning sounds from her pain.
The Nobushi rolled Miki to her side to get good look at her wounds.
The three claw marks on her back from the Beowolves were still there and saw the bleeding was starting to seep out again, this prompted the Nobushi to quickly applied her medicine before more blood loss came.
The Nobushi gently applied the ointment she created onto Miki's back.
Miki on the other hand felt the medicine being applied to her and felt a nice relaxing feeling from as she started to slow down her breathing from the pain of her wounds.
After applying the medicine, the Nobushi went and took some bandages from her supplies and brought it back to Miki.
"I need to wrap these bandages around you, so I'm going to undress you now." The Nobushi said.
But for Miki who just had her face planted to the cave floor a few minutes ago and was trying her best to breathe calmly simply nodded.
Seeing the nod, the Nobushi raised Miki into an upright position and started undressing her.
The Nobushi slowly removed the kimono on Miki until it dropped to the floor of the cave.
Miki was embarrassed that she was currently naked in front of a stranger, but she just told herself that this is just like gym class.
'Calm down Miki, she just another girl like you there's nothing to be ashamed about, this is just like gym class in the changing room.' Miki thought.
Miki kept glancing at the warrior from time to time as she kept bandaging her wounds.
"If you have something to say, then say it." The Nobushi asked.
"W-why…did you save me?" Miki asked as the Nobushi looked at her before returning to finish bandaging her.
"Is it not common sense to help someone in danger?" The Nobushi asked as if her earlier action was obvious.
"…Oh…right, sorry about that then."
"You have nothing to apologize for, now hold still I still need to bandage you." She said assuringly.
A few more minutes later, the Nobushi finish bandaging Miki, then help Miki dress herself again had her sit a little bit closer to the fire.
"Stay put and warm yourself up, I'll make us some tea." The Nobushi said as she got up and went for her pot.
While the Nobushi was making the tea, this gave Miki time to think.
'Of all the things that had to happen today…first it was get up at the usual time, get ready, head to school and start the regular student learning routine, the go get hotdogs with Barbara, the unintentionally meet Darren and have hotdogs with him, go home, do homework, then play For Honor until midnight. That was my ordinary day in America…but then I end up opening a mysterious letter and the next thing I know I end up in a different location as a cat demi-human and go walking through a swamp being both tired and cold, fight Beowolves from America's first ever successful anime series which shouldn't be possible as they're just made up and next I'm saved by a video game avatar.'
…
…
'How much more anime can my life get right now?' She mentally asked herself. She would've dismiss this whole thing as just one big dream, but after suffering intense pain from the Beowolves attacks, she saw that this is all very real and not a dream.
The tea was done brewing and the Nobushi handed Miki a cup.
"Here. Drink, this will help you warm up." She said as Miki took the cup and started drinking the tea.
The tea tasted good and it did warm her up inside.
Miki enjoyed the tea for a few more minutes before asking "Who are you?"
The Nobushi who had a cup of tea in her hands and for some odd reason has not taken her mask and hat off yet looked at Miki before answering.
"…I…am a Nobushi" She stated.
"No not that, I mean what's your name?" Miki asked.
…
"My name…is Sakuya…Sakuya Hana." The Nobushi now identified as Sakuya answered.
"Well…my name is Miki, Miki Kokuren."
"Well then, it's nice to meet you Ms. Kokuren, but let me ask you, why are you in the swamp lands?"
Sakuya asked seriously.
At that moment, Miki didn't know what to say, she thought about telling her the truth, but she knew that telling her that she's from another world would sound just plain crazy without solid evidence. Miki knew she had to lie her way out of this, something she not comfortable with sometimes but what other choice does she have, it's not like she can fight her way out of this because why would she do that when she knows that she's currently outmatch and injured.
Seeing that Miki has no other options, she tries to lie her way out of this.
But what type of lie to tell the warrior, Miki didn't want to try her luck, she had the feeling that the Nobushi had keen senses.
"I-I'm out here doing some training." Miki said.
"Training?" Sakuya asked.
"Yes, training. I'm out here to train, to sharpen my skills. My father told me to never forget to practice my skills unless I want them to dull in the future." Miki said hoping her lie would work on the warrior.
Sakuya stared at her through her mask after hearing the reason before giving her reply.
"That is good then." She said. "Your father is right, it is best to keep your skills sharp then dull, but why couldn't you train somewhere else, somewhere…safer and more secure?"
"Training in Grimm territory is a dangerous thing to do, only the Huntsmen Academies do such a thing because the Huntsmen and Huntresses are there, but for your father to send you here…well that is quite foolish don't you agree."
"M-my father didn't send me here." Miki said. "I came here by choice."
This earned a surprised look from Sakuya…or Miki thought she was given a surprise look because Sakuya still wore her mask.
"Then you are either foolish or you have a death wish." She said seriously surprising Miki with that statement.
"What?!" Miki asked.
"An untrained girl like you who has yet to fully master the sword choosing to come to train in Grimm territory is both idiotic and suicidal." Sakuya stated.
"I didn't know that this swamp is Grimm territory."
…
"…Foolish girl." Sakuya said seriously as she looks closely at Miki. "The ENTIRE wilderness is Grimm territory, the moment anyone leaves the safety of their village, town, or city they immediately enter Grimm territory and every step that they take is one possible step closer to death."
This caught Miki off guard a bit, but before she could say anything Sakuya asked another question.
"Where do you live?" Sakuya asked her.
"I-I-I live in…a village east of here." Miki answered. "Why do you asked?"
"Because I'm taking you home." Sakuya stated surprising Miki.
"W-what, no you can't." Miki said as she started to panic.
"Why not?" Sakuya asked.
"Because..." Miki didn't know what to say next for she was at a loss.
"Because what Kokuren?" Sakuya asked while calling her by her last name.
...
...
"Kokuren! Answer me!" Sakuyta yelled a bit at Miki.
"B-because...I don't know where it is." Miki said
This somewhat took the Nobushi by surprise as she didn't expect such an answer.
A silence overcame the room as the only things that can be heard is the fire crackling.
...
"How come?" Sakuya asked.
"B-because, as I was traveling, I lost my map, I'm not very good with directions so my father gave a map to me before I left." Miki lied.
"How did you lose the map?" Sakuya asked again.
"Well...I don't really remember how I lost it, just that I had it with me at one point, then at another point I lost it." Miki told her as she kept playing her bets that her lies would come through for her.
"What is the name of your village?" Sakuya asked.
"A-a-Akuma, Akuma Village." She said. 'Why the hell did I use a 'Street Fighter' name for that one?' Miki thought as she just blurted out a random video game character.
...
"Do not lie to me Kokuren." Sakuya said and suddenly it felt like the room got colder despite being near a fire.
"But I wasn't lying." Miki said.
"Yes you were. I am not a fool to just believe every word that comes out of a person's mouth. I have travel across this land for many years, and have been to every village whether they be hidden or not on the map, and I have never heard of a village called Akuma Village." Sakuya said as Miki began to look defeated.
"So tell me Kokuren." Sakuya said as Miki look up at her. "Where. Do. You. Lived?" She asked emphasizing each word.
That was when silence took over the whole cave.
"I...can't tell you." Miki said.
"Why not?" Sakuya asked.
"Because whether I tell you or not, you'll never believe my story." Miki said.
"Oh, I believe I can." Sakuya said.
"No you wouldn't, anything I'll say will be nothing but insanity to you."
"Hm... Kokuren." Sakuya said as Miki looked at her. "I've experience many things that would make people call me insane for doing them, but after facing them, hardly anything would surprise me now."
After a few moments of silence, the Nobushi spoke again this time in a more calm manner.
"So I will only ask you this. You are not from here are you?" She asked suddenly.
"What?" Miki asked confused.
"You are not from this world." She said.
Miki became surprised by the sudden statement.
"H-how did you know?" Miki asked wanting to know how the Nobushi manage to figure that out.
"Because, I find it strange that from what I can tell is that a smart young girl like yourself is all the way out here in Grimm territory in the middle of the night where Grimm are most active to simple training. And by seeing the weapons you had on hand with you at the time I found you, I question why you brought a bokken with you, that sword is used for training, not killing Grimm…well… unless you studied the ways of combat that involves the use of blunt weaponry that allows the wielder to not only be able to defeat the opponent, but that can kill them by slicing them like a regular sword would, but when I saw how you used the bokken, it confirmed that you don't know the ways of that kind blunt weaponry combat."
"The stance, the way you moved the bokken are skills and stances that a wielder of a katana would use." Sakuya continued.
"Not only that but from the attire I found you in after I have dealt with those Beowolves. That yukata of yours looks very well kept, despite it having a few tears from the Beowolves and the soaked lower portion of it, everything else looked completely fine from it." Sakuya said.
"Meaning?" Miki asked as she started to become cautious of the warrior's deduction.
"Meaning that you couldn't have travel here on foot, because your clothes would've been coated in some dust and leaves, but they look like they have just been worn only a few hours ago."
'How did she figure that out?' Miki thought at Sakuya's last deduction about her clothes.
Miki was surprise that Sakuya was able to deduce her lie from their short interaction, but that still leaves one thing unanswered.
"But wait, that doesn't explain how you knew I from another world." Miki said.
"Oh, so you admit it." She said in mock surprise.
"What? What do you mean by that? You just said that I'm from another world." Miki said.
"Oh…I only did that to surprise you. I never had any real evidence that you're from another world to begin with." Sakuya stated calmly with some playfulness in her voice
"But then that means you never knew that I'm from another world then." Miki said.
"Oh, but now I do."
"But you just said-" Miki was then interrupted by Sakuya.
"You just confirmed that you're from another world a few moments ago." Sakuya said in a matter of fact.
'Oh…she got me.' Miki thought as she just gave away the answer to the Nobushi's unasked suspicion.
Sakuya chuckled a bit before putting her cup of tea down.
"I think this will be enough for the night, get some rest, we'll talk more about this in the morning." Sakuya said as she helps Miki get ready for bed.
"But let me tell you this Miki Kokuren." Sakuya said as she was still preparing Miki for the night and Miki having her attention being taken from her.
"You're not the only one from another world." She said cryptically.
(LATER)
While Miki went to sleep, the Nobushi now known as Sakuya went outside the cave.
Once she was outside she looks back towards the cave where Miki was sleeping before looking back out to the swampy forest.
"You can come now Shadow."
And at that moment a dark clothed figured appear right in front of Sakuya as it kneeled in front of her.
"Please stand Shadow." Sakuya said to the new arrival.
The figured identified as Shadow stood up, Shadow wore a outfit that was designed to suited for a ninja as the clothes the person wore was made of traditional smooth cloth that is the colored black with a black visor covering the eyes, but due to how the outfit is the figure couldn't be distinguish from either male or female and there was also a sword on its back.
"Shadow, is there anything to report on the Knight and the Warmonger?" Sakuya asked.
Shadow said nothing as it produced a scroll from behind it and unraveled it in front of Sakuya.
Sakuya saw what was on the scroll, what was on it were three symbols one with a crow, a castle and a samurai helmet, but the castle and the crow symbols had red X's on them while the samurai helmet was left alone.
Seeing this Sakuya brought her hand to her chin and thought about the crossed-out symbols on the scroll.
"So 'DUTY' and 'STRENGTH' have perished, then that leaves me 'HONOR' to die last." Sakuya mumbled.
"Shadow, have they already met their successors?" Sakuya asked in which Shadow gave a nod.
"So, then that means they are already being taken to the fortress?" Shadow gave another nod.
'SIGN'
"Then I guess that the least I could do is to prepare my successor for what is to come before she heads to the fortress." Sakuya said.
Sakuya then looked at Shadow before waving her hand at the ninja dismissing it.
In the blink of an eye, Shadow immediately disappeared from Sakuya's sight retreating to who knows where until it is called upon again.
Sakuya looked up into the night sky with a face of sadness.
"William…Gunther…I'll miss the both of you, despite the ideals we were taught that separated us to the extent of us becoming enemies at the beginning, it never broke the bond we forged together as wolves."
"The two of you may be gone form this world, but your spirits will live on in your successors."
"So…before I join the both of you in the next world, I will pass on my spirit to my successor. This girl Miki shows promise…I only hope that your successors show the same amount of promise as her."
Sakuya then went back inside the cave and went over to the pile of weapons at the end of it.
She grabbed the katana with the cherry blossoms on it while being careful not to wake up Miki, but she was sure that she saw a twitch come from her cat ears.
Sakuya made her way out of the cave again and walk some distance away from it into the forest. She walked some distance away from the cave until she was in a clearing, when Sakuya saw the clearing she took off her noh mask and jingasa hat and set them on the ground before entering the center of the clearing.
Once Sakuya was in the center of the clearing, that was when her appearance was revealed for all to see in the glistening moonlight.
Sakuya has an aged face for a woman in her late seventies, but the wrinkles on her face were few as training made her look to be in her late forties or early fifties. The grey hair on her head was tied to a bun so that it could be concealed inside the jingasa hat, in the moonlight Sakuya dulled gold eyes shone.
Sakuya stayed still in the center of the clearing for a few minutes as the nights wind blew past her and the leaves of the nearby tree fell and drifted with the wind.
But then Sakuya placed her right hand on the handle of her katana and slowly drew it out from its sheathe.
Once the blade was fully drawn out of its sheathe, Sakuya then swung the blade in a swift motion, then did it again and again repeatedly with precise and steady movements.
What Sakuya was doing right now was a blade dance as she moved towards many directions but never truly leaving the center of the clearing. Sakuya movements with her sword flowed with elegance and grace with the wind as with every sword swing that Sakuya made was swung fast in the blink of the eye, but despite this Sakuya's movement moved and flowed as if it was water.
With every sword swing, the leaves that blew past by her were never once hit as they blew around her creating a shadow of a tornado around her.
For the next couple of minutes, Sakuya performed this blade dance as to some it would look like a practice secession, but to those that have fought with great virtue and skill will see that this blade dance was being done for performance but was being done as a way to offer respect for fallen comrades.
After a few more minutes of this blade dance, Sakuya finished it off with a simple sweep across the ground before sheathing the blade back into its sheathe.
With that done Sakuya headed back to the cave to prepare for Miki's training.
But before she left the clearing, Sakuya sense the presence of someone nearby, she knew that this person was watching her with their prying eyes since she entered this clearing. Sakuya recognized this presence as she has not sensed it for years, but she recognized the evil intent behind it.
So as fast as lightning, Sakuya threw a kunai at the source of the unfavorable presence, but the kunai was easily deflected by a sword swing.
With the kunai deflected, the one responsible for it walked out of the forest.
It was a man as it can be seen by the person's muscular figure but Sakuya recognize this man all to well and gave him a cold and disgusted look. The man was wearing a shitaga and hakama pants, the man is also wearing a straw hat and has two small curved blades hanging on his waist.
The man came walking out of the forest holding two katanas as he dragged them across the dirt.
"I haven't seen you perform that dance in years." The man said, but Sakuya kept giving the man a cold look.
"Even after all this time, your skills in its performance never dulled not one bit." The man continued on as he kept walking slowly towards Sakuya.
"I remember how you use to perform that dance for me in the past, isn't that right sister?" The man asked.
"What do you want Ichiro?" Sakuya asked with a voice laid with venom to the man now identified as her Ichiro.
"Can't a brother see his little sister after years of being separated from each other." He said.
"The 'brother' I knew is long gone, he died when he fell from his grace of honor." Sakuya stated.
"There you go again spouting about your so called honor, when will you learned that honor is a now dead virtue?"
"Honor will not die along as I still live and those I teach it too will live on to teach it to others." Sakuya replied.
"Humph, like you plan to teach that girl you have in your cave?" He said causing Sakuya's eyes to widen slightly.
"Oh don't be so surprised Sakuya, I saw her in the swamp earlier fighting those Beowolves and I saw how you saved her from them, did you really think I wouldn't have followed you when I was presented the chance?"
Sakuya just kept glaring at him.
"Huh, don't worry, the girl is not what I'm here for... it's you." Ichiro stated as he pointed one of his swords at her.
"Me?"
"Yes. You. I want my blade back." Ichiro said.
Sakuya's eyes widen bigger than before when she heard this.
"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! I will not give you that blade." Sakuya stated firmly.
"That blade you have is my birthright! Father gave me that blade and you stole it from me!" Ichiro said
"Father gave that blade to a son who truly knew the ways of honor, a son that he could respect and would never tarnish what the family stood for."
"But now, that very son has turned into a heartless mercenary, a warrior without cause or reason other than to earn money for himself. I will not let taint that blade with your hands." Sakuya said with some hints of regret in her voice.
"YOU have NO right to take that blade away from me, and who cares what father says, he's dead now. His words no longer have any hold on us." Ichiro said.
"Now give me the blade or else."
"Or else what Ichiro?" Sakuya asked him, but she figure what he was going to say next.
"Or I'll have to kill you and that girl you have if necessary to get my blade back then so be it." Ichiro stated strongly.
…
"Leave now brother, I don't want to fight, but I will if I must. If you wish to harm me then do so, but I will not allow you to harm the girl for if you do, the you won't like what comes next. Besides you know that you can't hope to beat me, I am a Wolf remember." Sakuya stated.
"Oh yes, I'm weaker than you because YOU'RE a Wolf." Ichiro scoffs at the word.
"You pride yourself too much on that title, it makes me question if you're the one who tarnishes our household." Ichiro said as Sakuya gave him a death glare.
"Well...it doesn't matter for let me tell you something dear sister that I don't need to be a wolf to kill you!" Ichiro charged at Sakuya and once he got close he brought both of his katanas down on top of Sakuya who manage to raise he own katana in time to block it.
While the two were in the deadlock, the sister chose to speak.
"Hmm…you certainly have gotten stronger Ichiro since the last time we fought, but your strength is clearly fueled by your arrogance and rage, but as for me…my strength comes from my honor." Sakuya said as she pushed her brother back.
The mercenary took a few steps back, but he soon came back on Sakuya by swinging his right sword at her but it was block but as soon as the attack was blocked, Ichiro pointed the sword in his left at her and thrusted it forward, but Sakuya saw this and quickly spun around it and swung her sword at her brother hitting his left shoulder.
Ichiro grunted in pain and quickly moved away to avoid another sword swing.
"Your honor means nothing Sakuya, in this world you only have yourself to fight for, because what honor is there when the honor we knew is dead here…you fight to preserve something that no longer exist." Ichiro said as he and Sakuya started circling each other.
"You only say that because you have given up your honor when you betrayed me." Sakuya shot back.
"I didn't betray you, it was YOU who betrayed me." Ichiro said. "I should've been the Wolf of Honor, not you. I was the most honorable out of the two of us, father himself saw that in me, that's why he made me the heir to the family, NOT YOU."
Ichiro charged at Sakuya again whiel bring both of his katanas down upon her again, Sakuya held up her katana to block the strike again, but this time it was different because the move was a feint as Ichiro stop mid swing and pulled back his swords in order to stab them into Sakuya.
Sakuya quickly side stepped the attack and slashed at her brother again, Ichiro tried to retaliate, but Sakuya moved to quickly for him to land a decent hit all the while Sakuya slashed at him every chance she got while she was moving.
Sakuya was going in for another strike, but Ichiro growing frustrated from his current situation swung both of his katanas in a large arc.
Sakuya saw the incoming attack and chose to block it at the last moment, the moment the blade connected it cause Sakuya to skid back a few feet.
Once she stop, she quickly headed for Ichiro again this time hold her sword in reverse grip.
When she was close, Ichiro brought both katanas down on her, but she quickly brought up her sword and held back the attack with a single arm. But despite Sakuya holding it, she couldn't withstand the strength behind the blades with just one arm as she was starting to be pushed down.
In the end Sakuya was forced to knee from her brother's strength.
"Look at you, still as weak and fragile as always Sakuya, when it comes to strength, that is where I excel at." Ichiro said but before he could continue any longer Sakuya reached towards his waist and pulled out something.
What she pulled out was one of his daggers and Sakuya quickly stabbed it into her brother's thigh.
"Aarrgh!" Ichiro screamed in pain at the stab to his thigh forcing him to fall to one knee.
With the loss of strength from her brother, Sakuya quickly grabbed the other dagger on his waist and stabbed him again this time in the side.
Ichiro swung one of his swords, but Sakuya already back away from him before he got a chance to hit her.
Trying his best to ignore the pain, Ichiro pulled out both of his daggers from their spots and dropped them on the ground.
"That was a dirty move even for you sister." Ichiro sneered at her for what she did.
"I am a Nobushi remember, I must utilized everything in my surroundings in order to survive." She said simply.
"Then you're no different from me, you throw away your honor for selfish reasons."
"No, you're wrong, that is not being selfish or throwing away my honor, that is simply something a Nobushi would do and there is no shame in that."
"Gggrrr, always trying to have the last word now do you?" Ichiro asked.
"Just because you always got them when we were younger."
Sakuya looked in some regret at her brother and saw him breathing hard a little bit as he held his side from his bleeding wounds, but so was she, the energy she used in the dance earlier has drain some of her energy in her aged body, but Sakuya saw that the same thing can be said for her brother seeing as he is tired from doing a simple sword swing.
"I…intend…to take…THAT BLADE…AND STABBED IT RIGHT THROUGH YOUR HEART YOU ARE BACKSTABBING LITTLE SISTER!" Ichiro screamed out as he charged at her once again but this time in full force as he started to swing his duel katanas wildly in many directions.
Sakuya parried and deflect every strike that came her way, but at the same time she was being pushed back by her brother's relentless assault of attack and it wasn't looking good for Sakuya.
Sakuya is a warrior that mostly specializes in quick and swift light attacks to wear her enemy down to weaken them, a best used strategy used by those who value speed, but because of this she was not really use to having to deal with a relentless assault of attacks like this.
The attacks kept coming until the two of them enter another deadlock.
"YOUR LIFE…IS MINE SAKUYA, I WILL TAKE IT ONE DAY AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, IT WILL BE WITH MY BLADE." Ichiro said as Sakuya saw into his eyes and saw the eyes of a madman.
Sakuya knew she had to stop her brother right now, she was beginning to worry about Miki, she knew it was foolish to leave her unattended for this long or even before she left the cave.
So Sakuya shoved her brother away by kicking him away and followed it up with a spin kick to his head knocking him back more, Sakuya then came with a slash to his chest and spin kick again to his to same spot she slashed at making him scream a bit in agony.
"That day may come…but it won't be today." Sakuya said as she got into a stance preparing for her next attack as she kneeled down a little and held sheathe her sword and held it over her head.
Seeing this, Ichiro quickly recovered charged at her hoping to stop her from executing her attack, but it was to late for it already happen.
"Dawn Strike." Was all that Sakuya said before disappearing from her position and at the moment of her disappearance, Ichiro stopped his charge as he stood still where he stood.
After a few moments, multiple cuts appeared all over Ichiro's body. The old warrior eventually fell to the ground and Sakuya reappeared on the other side of her standing up straight with her katana out of the sheathe in her hand facing down, seeing that the battle was over, Sakuya sheathe her blade.
Ichiro laid on the ground beaten as his twin sword katanas laid right beside him.
Sakuya seeing her brother like this, the one she used to cherish, the one she trained along side with, someone she looked up to was now an honorless warrior that fights for those who are willing to pay.
Sakuya couldn't bear to call her brother a warrior much less a brother from the same household as her. Both Sakuya and Ichiro have been raised to follow the way of the Samurai with honor and pride especially when they began their training of their selective warrior class, the both of them trained hard to become the best at their class and once they proven themselves ready for the field of combat, the two of them perform tremendously…but that all changed, on the day Sakuya was chosen.
The day she and her brother were transported from their home world to Remnant.
But before Sakuya could remanence more on the past, she had to make her way back to Miki, she has been away from her long enough during her outing into the forest.
So, before Sakuya made her way back to Miki, she looked back down at her brother one and surprisingly Shadow was there as well holding a knife to his throat ready to end his life.
"No, Shadow, leave him be." Sakuya commanded not wanted her brother to be killed yet, Shadow did as it was told and sheathe its knife away and disappeared in the night once again like earlier.
Sakuya looked one last time at her brother before leaving him in the clearing.
Along the way back to her cave, Sakuya was no fool as to not heed her brother's words. "YOUR LIFE…IS MINE SAKUYA, I WILL TAKE IT ONE DAY AND WHEN THAT DAY COMES, IT WILL BE WITH MY BLADE." Her brother's voice ranged in her head and Sakuya knew that he would follow through with his threat and her meeting with Miki only confirmed on how Sakuya would die.
Seeing this, Sakuya vowed to make sure of one thing and one thing only.
'Miki Kokuren…before I leave this world, I will teach you everything I know…for I see a woman of honor…a woman that will take my mantle of a WOLF, for when I see you, I see greatness in your future and I will make sure you are ready for it.'

Anyway, we saw how Miki got herself acquaintance with the Nobushi Sakuya who is now currently the last of the current wolves to die, so the next chapter will be the end of the of Miki's part of the story, so then I can finally start getting to the good part of the story as the three players of Earth become the new wolves of Remnant.
Also we saw how Sakuya's brother Ichiro is and are given a general gist of why he chose to become a Aramusha
So like always Favorite this, Follow this, or both.
