Anyways please Read, please Review and please Favorite. I have not finalized the story so Review with thoughts and opinions? I love Reviews. Thanks.


Chapter 2: Seven Daughters Are Raised (Chapter 2 Part 1)

Alia the mother of the daughters personally spent almost every second with her daughters for the first three years. Training was solely based on getting the babies on their feet. Ideas like safe pretend knife sword crawling pacifier were abandoned. Alia found it cute the young babies were able to use the item for jousting and nearly darting out mommy's eye. But the safety issue made her abandon the idea. Tasks like crawling in formation were some of the only things the first year consisted of. Alia showed great care for her children and by the third year all seven of the daughters were able to walk and learn very childish kicking and hitting moves. Alia hugged and kissed her daughters often but worried how they would handle a real fight in the future.

Around the fourth year on this Earth, Alia hired a hulking woman named Shaw to train the young girls on how to beat stronger opponents. She also hired a skinny woman adapt with weaponry whose name was Dalera. Alia herself would teach the girls hand to hand and her own methods. During the ages of Four to Twelve the daughters learned valuable skills. Alia instructed Shaw and Dalera to be strict but gentle. She used the reasoning that the girls needed to learn the proper things first. When Alia was told that the daughters would not be able to survive life and death battles she told them she personally would take care of that particular part of the daughters training. She would show them love and she would show them how to set it aside to do what is needed when it is needed. The others two were just to train the daughters and maximize their potential. Alia wished to instil goodness in the children. It is right to hate the samurai but one cannot be blinded.

Each individual teacher trained the girls for hours each day. Each daughter's time was allotted as 3 hours training with mom, three hours training with Shaw and three hours training with Dalera, and a last one hour training with each other, they were allowed a total of four hours of break each day being one hour of break after each training session where they usually spent time training or talking or spending time with mom, there was a two hour recap at the end of the day where they told their mom all they learned and she would tell them how she though they were doing, and last an 8 hour bedtime nap. The girls did this routine everyday and each day their mother was more and more proud. She gave each of them one kiss on the forehead each night and told them she loved them.

As the years passed the girls excelled. Alia's precious Ashi was developing very swiftly as well and it enhanced the other children. As Ashi reached the age of 10 with the rest of the daughters Alia decided it was time to train them to be as bit more brutal and merciless. She took all the daughters and herself to the training room. She instructed Ashi to fight her but not normally. Alia instructed Ashi to try to hurt, injure and kill her. A nervous Ashi did not move. Alia was upset by this. She took a breath in and stated "Some day you will need to kill the samurai. I am trusting you with this task. Ashi, my sweet daughter understand that you need to set love aside for the betterment of the world sometimes" Alia thought her daughter looked in her eyes with nervous determination so she finished "Now Ashi try to beat me"

Ashi came at her mom. It was clear she was holding back though. Alia swatted Ashi with the base of a sword and she fell down. The daughters had long since forgotten how to cry but this time Ashi's eyes teared. She ran down the training room. Alia was shocked behind her mask but hid it. She called out "Are you weak Ashi? Come back here! Are you weak?" Alia looked at the other daughters and told them to stay there. Alia went to look for her daughter.

Alia looked around. She spotted a lit path and followed. There was her daughtet looking out of the walls. Ashi had never been out of the walls. Something in the pit of Alia's heart felt a pang of regret. Alia had always loved the outdoors as a young child. She felt regret that her daughters had to miss out on so much just because of one samurai. She decided not to punish Ashi but to reassure her. She came up behind Ashi.

Alia said to Ashi "What you see out there is the land Aku created. That is our real home the samurai has stolen from us" Ashi turned around. Her mom bent down. Ashi flinched at her touch. Alia cupped Ashi's face gently "I'm sorry Ashi. Are you ok?" Ashi looked down "Mom I'm sorry. That hurt a lot. Do you still love me?" Alia regretted her actions saying "Yes Ashi, of course I love you and your sisters very much" She instructed Ashi to wait here and she went and brought back the other daughters. They went up to Ashi and Alia started talking to them saying:

"Don't lose heart my dear sweet Ashi. My precious daughters this is your world.

Ashi, You look out at the glorious land Aku created. A paradise meant for you and your sisters to play in. And soon you will. But for now the evil Samurai has ruined it. He is out there now. He ravages the land and enslaves countless.

Once long ago Aku and the Samurai fought. Aku won and trapped the Samurai for thousands of years. But he was unleased and a terrible thing happened. He destroyed everything. He killed all who opposed him. He trapped Aku and turned the hearts of Aku's followers to evil.

Some day I will explain to you everything. But for now train my daughters, for the death of the samurai will be by your hand and by your hand Aku will return and bless us."

The mother finished her words.

When the daughters all turned thirteen they had adapted and learned well. Ashi was the leader of the seven now. Shaw and Dalera both had to train daughters that were on their level now. Every few months they brought in a new assasin or mercenary to train the girls and the daughters grew fast. They excelled and were able to beat and out maneuver every new trainer in the dark or light and in and out of water. There was a trainer named Milara who taught the girls how to do stuff like steal and she used fancy words and taught things about boobytraps and such.

When all of the daughters turned eighteen their training was complete.

On the final day of her daughter's training Alia set her top twenty assasins up on their posts to see how her daughters would handle it. She closed her eyes. Aku was in the girls. They would not fail. Alia had faith and unwavering trust in Aku and her daughters. Her daughters would not die. She watched on.

Her daughters knocked them all out but did not kill them. Her daughters were unable to kill to this point. Alia realized it Aku's wish if that is how it must be. The others of the clan were informed the daughters were so skilled they did not even need to take a life to win. Either way the samurai will die.

Alia put on her daughters masks and spoke.

"My lovely daughters listen to my words. Our bones may break, Our mind may waver, and our hearts may shatter. But with broken bones you can still think and a wavering mind can still fight but a shattered heart can do neither. Keep heart and your mind will never waver. Never let your mind waver and your bones will never break. That is why you all share a bond. We are all one. And always remember you are precious to me. We deserve better then this world of hate. Go and kill the samurai. All of you are to return alive. I love you my daughters"

She hugged her daughters and they went out. Out to kill the Samurai or perhaps capture him and return so Alia could kill him herself.


And from the perspective of Ashi:
