AND back to the story:
Chapter 6: Seven Daughters Are Wondering (Chapter 6 Part 1)
S
Early in the morning there was a knock on the door of the hotel room the girls were in. All of the girls were awake except Ati. She drifted awake and mumbled "Can't I have a couple mour hours?". Aki laughed softly at her sister. Avi said " It must me that John fellow". Axi said "Or maybe it's the samurai come to fight us?. " Avi shook her head as Ami went to the door and opened it.
Ami opened the door. It was John. He was tall and Ami felt weird looking up at him. After a couple second she said "H...Hi" and he replied with "Hello" Ami noticed she was blocking his entry so she moved. John took about two steps in and said "Your check out time is in an hour but I arrived early to make sure you had not left yet, I mean to make sure you were up on time". In the background Ati made sleepy noises as she finally got up and rubbed her eyes. John continued " I uh, actually noticed that there was a small festive event going on. I thought it would be nice to check it out. Um... Would you be willing to go with me?
Avi went up to John and bowed and said " Thank you for your assistance but we should really be going. Our other sisters should be here soon"
Ami felt a weird bad feeling when she thought of leaving without John. Her dream last night came back to her head. She suddenly felt anxious so she interupted John as he was saying "Very well, I guess I best lea..." And Ami said "Wait!" A bit too loudly so everyone looked at her. She said 'I - I uhh think it would be nice to go"
Avi thought to herself. Avi knew how it was to be shy. She knows she is actually very shy, but with Ashi and Achi gone Avi was considered the leader. It made her really happy and proud despite the nervousness. She looked at Ami. Ami was never shy like this. She had noticed how Ami looked at John and talked to him. She must like him. Avi recalled last night when she learned what a "date" was on the spy box device thing in the hotel. She recalled last night.
~ The girls had gotten ready for bed and were laying down. Axi had been looking around and had found a oval black stick thing with buttons on it. She had swore it must have something to do with Aku. She had clicked a button and a box across the room cut on showing people and things on it. All the girls looked at it as Axi clicked the buttons. Over time they found out how to switch viewing areas and increase and decrease the sound volume as well as turn on and off the spy box.
Axi had said "This is clearly a spying weapon so everyone can search for that evil samurai". It sounded accurate... But after a while it seemed not to have anything on the samurai. It just showed fighting on some channels and girls and boys acting weird together. They seemed very happy though. ~
Avi realized Ami liked the man and wanted to spend time with him. Avi wanted Ami to have fun and be happy. A day off hunting the samurai should not hurt her.
Avi said " You are right Ami, that does sound fun" She looked around at her sisters and John and said "Lets go..."
S
Samurai Jack led the girls to the little festival. It was small but Jack knew it would be fun. He didn't know what his plan was but should he get to learn more about the girls and show them he was not bad... That was his plan so far.
Jack said " So... What would you all like to do first? There seems to be music, games, and food. Oh look, there is a little area where you can feed and ride some horses "
Avi said "I see... A horse is a deer who has lost it's horns". Jack replied " Uh no... It's... Just a horse..." Had these girls never heard of a horse?
Axi said "I wish to ride the horse. None of us have done this ever before." So Avi turned to Jack and said "John is this safe?"
And so Jack got on a horse and showed each of them to be gentle yet firm with the horse. He then allowed each of the girls to ride the horse for a few minutes. They seemed very thrilled. Ami seemed very nervous.
Jack and the girls went around and tried out various food and drink. They played some games. Jack got to a point where he had to catch himself. He thought he had no idea how these girls could be the same ones who had hunted him down.
After about an hour They came to a shop. It was very pretty. There was a sign saying "One free piece to each entry". Jack led them in:
Axi found a snow globe. She was mystified with it. She purchased it free
Avi found a violin. She had seen the people outside making music with these. She purchased it free.
Aki found a pillow. She purchased it free.
Ati found a stool to sit on. She purchased it free.
Jack found an old hat that reminded him of one he once wore. He purchased it free
Ami found a butterfly necklace with feathers attached. She liked it. She purchased it free and looked timidly at Jack.
The owner had noticed Ami staring at Jack and came out. The owner offered her an outfit for a date. She seemed shocked but the owner insisted. Ami took it and put it on in a dressing room
Avi saw that John and Ami liked each other. She wanted them to have one of these "dates"...
...
After leaving the free shop Avi said " I think it is time we go, John."
Ami saw weird looks on both Ami and John's faces. She said "Actually Ami can stay. Ami have a nice time with John. The rest of us will look for Ashi and Achi. They should be here by now. The reason you stay here is so we can find John again when we return.
John and Ami looked at a loss for words. Avi smiled saying "We'll be back soon!"
The group split... With little resistance...
S
A little while after heading to search for her sisters Avi passed a stand. She glared. It was the old man from the other day. He called out "Free fortunes! Know your future now! No lies here" She planned to pass him by until...
Axi ran up to the old man. Avi sighed. They went to have their fortunes told.
There were four seats exactly. Axi, Avi, Aki, and Ati sat down.
The old man smiled. He said " Today you learn the truth." He pointed to each of them and called out their names accurately. Avi folded her arms. The old man said "The truth has come to you already and yet you don't know it yet. But I know. Today I show you where Aku is!"
Avi said "Liar! How would you know where our master is?" And the old man said " Just follow me and you will see. I guarantee it."
Avi didn't believe him. Her sisters did. Especially Axi. Avi gave in and decided they would follow the old man. Perhaps they would learn something.
Avi wondered where Ashi and Achi were.
S
Jack looked at Ami. He said "I uhh.. Like your outfit"
Ami looked down.
Jack said "Would you like to walk with me?" He had to ask her questions and maybe a quiet area would be best.
They walked...
S
As Ashi walked with Achi following her with the most depressed and bored whining and bored moaning one could imagine. They were about to leave the village as Ashi had lost the samurai's trail and all the men said weird and creepy things.
As they were walking Ashi saw what looked like her sister Ami and some man. Ashi turned to Achi and said "Shhh. We have found our sisters."
Achi looked and said quietly " Who are they?" To which Ashi pointed out all the traits to prove Ami was Ami. Ashi wondered why she was dressed so colofully when they were on a mission.
Achi said "should we go to her"? And Ashi replied " No. Lets follow in case this man is trouble. This looks like a weird part of the village".
And so Ashi and Achi followed sneakily.
S
They were out of the village in a pretty spot. Jack asked Ami "I was wondering. How long have you worshipped Aku?"
She was quiet but said "forever" Jack felt sad to hear it. Ami continued " He has brought me something very special today though." Jack asked "What?" and Ami said "You!" Jack was afraid. Had she figured him out? Ami said "I really like you" and Jack was shocked... And then Ami hugged him...
Jack allowed Ami to hug him. He felt slightly embarrassed. He said "Oh uh, I uh" and then she said "I like you very much" and kissed him.
Samurai Jack took in the kiss from Ami. For a second he was shocked, then he slipped into enjoying it for a nanosecond, then he felt anxious and slightly embarrassed. He allowed her to finish. The whole kiss lasted nearly ten seconds.
When she was done she looked at him and smiled. She said to him "Mister John I feel that I love you and care about you".
Samurai Jack sighed. This girl was sweet, but she was also dangerous. Jack had never been in this situation before [I think]. He gently pushed her away saying "I'm sorry, I can't"
Ami lowered her head and said "You do not like me?"
Jack shook his head and arms in front of him awkwardly and said "No, it is not that". The girl just looked down in front of him. She even had tiny tears forming but not falling.
Jack thought to himself. He made a decision. He sighed and said to Ami "Ami" and she didn't move he added "Please come with me. I have something to tell you."
She looked up and said "What?"
Samurai Jack said "The Truth"
Jack decided after what Ami had done it would be disrespectful to not tell her the truth. Then he would see if she still felt the same.
Jack and Ami walked a bit further away from the village. They stopped. Jack sat down on a large boulder and said "Please, sit with me". Ami sat on the boulder in front of him facing him.
Samurai Jack spoke " When I was younger I lived in peace with my parents. They taught me many things and I loved them very much. One day a horrible evil was unleased. This evil being destroyed everything and killed almost everyone." He looked at Ami. She was listening. Jack continued " I set out and trained to destroy this evil being. After a long fight I was about to finish off this evil being... But before I could land the last blow this evil being tore out a time portal and threw me into the future..." He paused once more before asking " Do you know who this evil being is, Ami?" Ami answered quickly " It was the samurai wasn't it?"... Samurai Jack sighed saying "No Ami, it was not".
Ami asked " Who was this evil being you speak of?"
Samurai Jack replied "Please listen and believe me when I tell you this. Everything you know is a lie. The true evil one is Aku. He is the one who does all of these horrible things. And Ami, I am Samurai Jack"
As Jack finished he looked at Ami. He did not know what her expression was but she fell to the ground. She fainted. Obviously what he had said had shocked her very much.
He got up and went over to her to check her out and maybe carry her back to the village but...
S
Ashi and Achi had listened to the conversation. When Ami fainted Ashi and Achi got up to attack. Ashi screamed "What have you done to our sister?". This made the samurai look at them.
Achi lunged at the samurai with her spear. The samurai was swift. He grabbed the spear and turned used Achi's momentum to knock her down. He held her spear. He said "Please stop. I do not wish to fight"
Ashi could not believe what she had seen or heard. She followed and attacked the samurai with her chain. As the chain circled the spear the samurai deflected the chain with, Ashi kicked the samurai.
Just as this happened there was a huge rumbling... And the ground fell out. Jack, Ashi, Achi, and Ami fell. They fell into a huge monster's mouth.
S
Meanwhile...
The old man lead Axi, Ati, Aki, and Avi to a legendary portal that was said to lead to Aku.

Reader Review Responses:
Guest on chapter 10: RE: Tv Show: What you mention is very brief and may show anger about what occured but it does not address the issue. One could come to any conclusion as to why she was upset [she was being tortured, the man was boasting about his bad plans, Anyone/Everyone was being harmed,etc] but she had not expressed in words. The closest she came was when she killed her mother. I feel it would be best for her to talk it out and express those feeling as there is very very little of that.
