Dawn of the Samurai

"....Bounty?" Shin asked.

 

"Onee-chan is a bounty hunter and she was hunting Koza until she confessed her feelings for him." Neka looked at Kyo, who was blushing a deep red.

 

"What did Koza do to get a bounty?" Shin asked.

 

"For nine years, Koza was known as 'Koza the Blood Demon', and Onee-chan wanted his bounty to find Yuki."

 

"How much is his bounty?" Shin asked.

 

"My guess, a lot of yen."

"Look, I've been through my Trail of the Hunter! Neka, you need to wait for two years for your Trail!" Kyo looked away, blushing.

 

".......Thanyou. that's all I needed to know." Shin said.

 

"Uh, you're welcome."

 

ooc: Sorry for being gone so long. Been real busy.

bic: Koza looked at Murasame. So this sword is supposed to contain a demon....

 

Shin jumped across rooftops, trying to be as swift as possible. It should not take long trying to find this....Koza.

 

Maiko watched him with concern. "What worries you brother? Is the sword talking to you or something?"

 

"It's just hard to believe that I'm carrying around a posessed sword."

 

"You will be safe as long as we are near to each other, or at least that is what the legend says. My sword stops yours from becoming a blood thirsty killer. You are the reason I stay here. It is nice to have someone who is like you."

 

"Still, I know there will be times when we can't be near each other. That's what's worrying me..."

 

"You worry too much. I think that you will be fine. Just remember that I have faith in you. It seems we are not so evil as a lot of the townspeople were repressed by that diabolical magistrate and see us as outlaw heroes. We can hide here for a while if you want."

 

"That would probably be best. We'd better go get a room at the inn."

 

"You're not very bright at times are you? The inn would be the first place that they would look for us if we are being hunted. We have been offered shelter in many houses and they can always say we forced them and threatened them."

 

"You're right. Guess fatigue is making my mind cloudy. You lead the way to a safe place."

 

Kyo wasn't sure what to do, she knew she still loved Koza, but did he still feel the same about her? She wrote a letter and read it to herself first:

To my Blood Demon,
Look, I'm going back to hunting bounties. I'm still going to be Kyo, though. I can't travel with you and your sister, let Neka do that. But please, if you ever find me, tell me if you love me as much I love you. I really do love you. Just don't try to follow me.​

She put the ring in the letter, and handed it to a massager, telling him to give to Koza. Then she ran off, jumping on the benches of the forest.

 

Maiko smiled s she led Koza to a small house in the back streets. Knocking on the door she said something quietly and they were let in. Inside the house was warm and friendly and the couple smiled at them and offered them chairs by the fire. Maiko sat down and warmed her hands.
