Dawn approached the Town of Chibi like God had put a glistening light apon Japan.

The only one awake was a Horserider. A noble Guardian of the town. He gathered his Katana and placed it on the Horse's saddle. The Rider braced his face and flipped his hair back with his available hand. The Rider looked ready for any incoming danger. He grabbed the pachet of the Saddle and hopped onto the Horse. The sides of his mouth reached the high of each cheek. He was smiling...

The Rider began to tug at the strings of the Horse. The Horse moved apon obligation and began to circulate the town....


This Rider was no regular Horserider or person... You could tell by his shining red armor that he was no regular civilian riding a horse. Armor braced his body. A large bright red chestplate has strapped to his fair sized frame. As was some red forearm braces lined with golden stripes and shoulder pads with gold streaming along the edges. His large knee pads, Shin pads and quad armor all guarded him with the shiny colour of Red. The armored man was accompanied with a Short Katana sword, along with a longer one strapped to his horse. This was no Civilian.....

This was a Samurai.

His name was Moto Akigawa, and he was the Sunrise Guardian of Chibi. The thirty four year old experienced Samurai was guarding the small and hidden town of Chibi.... But why?



Off in the distance of an old tree was a Dark Figure crouching on a large and thick branch. This figure wore a Dark Tunic on his small, but muscular framing. He beared various shaped scars on his face but could barely be seen because the lower half of his face was covered by a black garb. His upper half beared his short and spiky glistening black hair. His eyes were a darkened Hazel colour and he wore shoes that were made of a soft material. His pants were black and he had a stretch black material over his shins. This material was covered with a small black metal plate. His Forearms were also covered in this black plating. He had a Black Ronin Ninja sword attached to his leg and two oddly shaped Ninja Sickles on his back. Shurikens also wrapped around his leg on a small band.

This black figure was an Assassin of great efficiency.... An Assassin better known as a Ninja. His name was Kuro Tokushima and he was a twenty eight year old Ronin Ninja. He reason for being Masterless is best left unknown and his past dwells with many murders under his blade. And he is watching over the small town of Chibi.... But why?





The town of Chibi was silent but for an exception of hooves softly battering the grass of the town paths. That wouldn't be the only noise to brace the small town....

The sound of yelling came from a far away distance. Moto twitched his wrists and whipped the leather straps that beared the horse and streamed to the location....

Moto tugged as hard as he could on the Leather straps and fear injected directly into his heart. A man with black coloured hair and a ponytail was entering Chibi. He wore a blue robe and he beared a large Katana on his back. This man looked thrity years of age and he had a natural black shade under his eyes. His skin had an abnormal pale shade....

The unknown man began to speak to Moto....

Unknown: Good morning, Guardian.

Moto's faced turned grim and he replied....

Moto: Hira knew you would come back, Yamazawa.

Yamazawa In stern voice]: Hira no longer matters, Moto. I want the boy... Now.

Moto's hand quickly slipped to the hilt of his Katana....

Moto: You will go nowhere near the boy, Yamazawa. Or near the towns people. Now leave before i remove you.

Yamazawa's eyelids began to seep and his body slightly shifted....

Yamazawa: Empty threats? Not like you, Moto.

Moto: Yamazawa, i will not ask you again to leave!

Yamazawa laughed in a loudly stern voice, waking some of the townsmen up... A small handful of men walked out of their huts and watched the Guardian Samurai speaking to the unknown Swordsman...

Yamazawa: What will you do if i don't leave, Moto?

Moto turned his head to the townspeople....

Moto: Please return to your huts and stay inside, men.

The townsmen slowly backed into their huts.....

Yamazawa: Moto, if you would be so kind as to go get the boy and escort him to me so i do not have to drop every one of your unimportant souls in this unknown town.

Moto drew his sword from his scabbard and held it sternly in the air....

Moto: Enough, Yamazawa! Leave now!

Yamazawa drew his sword and began to speak...

Yamazawa: I will ge.....

Yamazawa was unable to finish his sentence due to a Steel Shuriken piercing deep into his Jugular. a stream of blood spat from the Man's neck as he quickly dropped to the ground. Moto looked at the direction of where this throwing tool came from but saw nothing but branches and leaves.....

The townspeople walked out and circulated the Body....

Moto's eyebrows lowered as he continuosly stared at the forest....

Who dispatched Yamazawa? Moto thought.....

LordSorgo
Moto's thoughts were on standby for mere seconds when a Ninja appeared before him.... The dark figure croutched and ripped the Shuriken out of Yamazawa's neck. Moto gave the Ninja an akwardly fearsome look....

Moto: Who are you, Shadowed one?

Kuro turned his head and glared at Moto...

Kuro: My existence happens to be none of your business, Guardian.

Moto: You're a Ronin, aren't you? No Ninja with a respectful Master would dare come in front of opened eyes, nor would they reveal even the upper half of their face.

Kuro let out a quiet and short chuckle as he purched his hand onto his belt....

Kuro: I was sent to protect the boy, not to speak.

Moto smiled....

Moto: Yet you reveal yourself to my eyes?

Kuro: The part you misunderstand is that your eyes don't matter.

Kuro quickly ran back into the darkened forest. Three townsmen dropped what they were doing and they escorted the fallen Swordsman body to a burning ground. Moto whipped the Leather straps and heeded to Hira's Quarter in the town...

LordSorgo
Moto had arrived at Hira's quarter. Hira was a middle aged man with a long stalking black beard he bested with his hand. His eyebrows stretched out to about two inches and he always smiled. He had long black and silvery hair that stopped at the top of his laterals. He was quite a heavy man. Fat overalled the bulkyness of his stocky frame. He sat in akwardly shaped white robings and cloth slices. Hira also had a small Yoshimitsu Tanto knife resting on his hip....

Moto entered Hira's office and Hira stood and bowed. He then plopped himself back down....

Hira: Moto! What is the commotion outside?

Moto bowed back to Hira and stood firmly...

Moto: Yamazawa showed up...

Hira: Continue.

Moto: He wanted the boy but i asked him to leave. He resisted so i drew my sword out, as did he. Shortly after, a Shuriken was thrown at the side of his neck. He was burned at the grounds. Shortly after, a Ronin Shinobi showed up. He took his Shuriken and then ran back into the Miki Forest.

Hira's eyebrow rose as he brushed his long and furry beard....

Hira: Did the Ninja say anything?

Moto's heart jumped quickly and sweat began to seep from his forehead....

Moto: No.

Hira: Hmm... Why would a Ronin be in Miki forest?

Moto: I don't know... It's akward, Sir.

Hira: You're dismissed, Moto. I want you to go to Akinaki Village.

Moto: But, sir...

Hira quickly interrupted...

Hira: I have the map to the town....

Moto: But how!?

Hira placed his hands under his desk and grabbed a large Ninja Sword and placed it on top of his desk....

Hira: This is... Mine.

Moto: You were once....

Hira interrupted again...

Hira: Just take this and go there. Ask for Furoichi and tell him that Hira sent you.

Moto: Yes, sir.
