Author Note: We all know that S5E4 was totally adorable and cute. I found it masterful. I can't top that aborable cuteness. Perfect Episode. Anyways this story will have all of the daughters in it. I am unsure if I want Ashi and Samurai Jack falling off a tree or not. It might be good to see what the other daughters do. If you have ideas let me know. I kinda have an idea already but tell me if I should have Ashi or someone fall off a tree or rock with Samurai Jack? Also I am a fan of AshiJack couple. Should I slowly do that? I have a layout for the chapters listed but I can expand and stuff. Not sure. Hope you noticed the mother is much different then in the show? Hope you enjoy. By the way I will expand all the daughters as the story goes but this chapter is mainly on Ashi.
Review Replies: I will try my best to have this fanfiction be good and not bad. I really want you all to like it and not be disappointed. Thank you so much for the support.
Chapter 2: Seven Daughters Are Raised (Chapter 2 Part 2)
"We worship you lord Aku" Ashi bowed deeply with her sisters. The girls were all now fifteen years old. They always worshiped Aku and asked for his blessing before they trained. She held her sisters hands and thanked Aku for their lives "Aku with your spirit we breath each day. You give us the strength and courage to persevere. Please stay with us and guide us as we live for you".
On this particular day Ashi and her sisters only had a total of three hours to train physically. Today was the girls birthday. On their birthday they were not supposed to train but to relax and enjoy life as it is meant to be. Ashi recalled her mom's words " We are meant to love one another in peace and harmony. On this world plauged by the samurai we often don't get to enjoy what Aku has given us. Girls, your birthday is special. It's the anniversary of a day Aku blessed me with the seven most precious girls. But today is still a day to train so we train our hearts to love and understand one another and to admire a precious gift called life"
Ashi and her sisters had been up about two hours. They were waiting on their mom. Ashi was looking out of the clan walls at the world outside. She found it so interesting and mysterious. She knew someday she would go out and have to destroy an evil samurai. She worried about that. Was she good enough? She saw some ladybugs and put her hand out. They crawled on her hands and flew off. Ashi loved the little insects. They were wondeous. She often wondered what else was out there. She was glad the samurai was not able to kill these bugs. She smiled.
Each of the girls had their own unique thing:
Ashi loved insects and nature. In her free time she would play with insects and look out the walls. She would train with her sisters and talk to them often.
Ami loved her katana swords. She was always playing with them and inventing tricks in her free time. She even learned to juggle them.
Axi was very curious. She often tried new things. One time she got stuck upside down playing with a rope she had used to try to listen in on their trainers.
Achi was mischievous. She always tried to use a sneaky move to win a fight.
Avi was shy. She didn't talk much.
Aki was the early bird. She listens to Ati sleep a lot.
Ati was the late sleeper. She talks in her sleep

Soon Alia came back and summoned the girls around her.
Ashi's eyes were wide open as she heard her mother speaking " My lovely daughters. Today is your fifteenth birthday. Each of you has grown up exceptionally and I am so proud of you. Today I have two gifts for each of you. The first is a food called chocolate. It is a rare treat" All of the girls looked with wide eyes and looked at each other and their mom. Alia continued "Also as you know some day you will need to go and kill the samurai. Today We will go outside of the clan walls" The girls all had wide eyes and were excited yet scared. Ashi was thrilled. Maybe she would meet more bugs out there.
Alia got out some dark looking round rocks and gave them to the daughters. They all looked at the rocks with question marks in their eyes. Alia said "That is chocolate. You can eat it." The girls looked at each other. Alia said "Ashi, why don't you try yours first". Ashi looked at it. She lifted it to her mouth she thought it might be hard. She bit it gently and it broke in her mouth. It tasted good. Ashi said to her mom " Mom! This rock tastes good" And then the other daughters ate theirs. They liked it and thanked their mom. Axi picked up a real rock and bit it and spit it out. Their mother quickly said "No Axi. These are not rocks. They are chocolates." Axi frowned and threw the rock down.
After the chocolates Ashi and the girls followed Alia out of the clan walls. Each girl was wide eyed looking around and following closely together after their mom. Alia showed them trees and lakes and birds and many things. The girls were fascinated. Ashi looked at grass at bugs. Ami tried to catch a bird. Axi picked up rocks and threw them down because they were not chocolate. Achi climbed in a tree. Avi looked around a lot. Aki and Ati played pick up tree branches and pretend they are swords.
Awhile later there was a noise and all the girls and their mom were at attention. The girls and their mom looked at a large creature (Deer). The girls asked "mom? It is Aku?" The deer hearing the girls ran off and the mother said " That is a Deer. It is one of the creatures Aku created. If you stay still and quiet and don't scare the deer it won't run away. But these creatures are wild and may attack you. They don't know you and are scared of us."
The girls and mom stayed out for hours before returning home. Then their mom tucked them into bed. This was rare as the girls were older but it meant a lot to Ashi to be tucked in. She felt safe and loved. She rested and fell asleep.
It was later that night. Ashi awoke from a dream. In it she had hesitated and been killed by the samurai in her dream. Ashi looked around. Her sisters were all asleep. She got up and walked around. She went to where her mom slept. She looked in. She then turned to go back to bed. From behind her she heard her mom ask "Ashi?" Ashi looked back at her mom. Her mom got up and walked up to Ashi. Her mom asked "Is everything alright my sweet Ashi" Ashi looked down and then told her mom what was troubling her.
"Mom, when the time comes what happens if I can't take the samurai's life?" She looked at her mom. She couldn't see the expression behind the mask. A couple seconds later her mom put her hands on Ashi's shoulders and replied "I have faith in you Ashi. Aku's fire burns in you and your sisters. I have faith you can do it. But if you don't take the samurai's life then put that burden on me. If you must capture the samurai then I will take his life. I know you and your sisters are not fond of death." Ashi looked down. Her mother said "Ashi, look at me" and Ashi raised her head. Her mom said "I love you no matter what Ashi. I know you make Aku proud." And she hugged Ashi.
Years passed and when Ashi turned twenty she and her sisters set out to kill the samurai.
To be continued...
