Part I Part II Part III Part IV Part V Part VI Part VII
Meia, a young 8 year old girl, is surrounded by crosses, the graves of her family. It was a week since she was there. She steals food to live but always returns to the graves of her parents. Their money was gone and they had no home.
Meia (kneeling on the ground): Mom, Dad, I'll miss you!
She hears footsteps behind her...She quickly turns around and sees a man dressed in black garb.
Man: Shit, another one still lives, better kill her or she'll spill on me.
Meia: Who are you?!
Man: Prepare to meet the rest of your family!
The sword swung at her but missed, and the man's head rolled off his neck as he fell to the floor with his blood spilling around her parents graves. Meia gasps in horror and with pleasure as her parents were avenged by the death of the murderer. She stood up and looked around and saw a man, cloak blowing in the wind. He walked up to her and he took his fist and hit her in the back of the head. She falls to the floor unconcious.
***
She wakes up and feels sore all over and her head was pounding, she could barely remember a thing. She was in a small temple and sitting next to her was the man who had hit her earlier..
Meia (in a calm voice): What? Who are you and why did you bring me here?!
Man: I hate to litter.
Meia: What? You want me to hurt you? I may be small but I can still beat you up!!
Man (laughs): I like your pride kid, always keep it! My name is Ikari Yamato. Now what's your name?
Meia : Why should I tell you?
Yamato: You're very smart, you already know not to tell a stranger your name.
Meia: Huh?
Yamato: I think you will qualify.
Meia: Qualify? For what?
Yomato throws Yuri a wooden sword.
Meia: A sword?
Yamato: How perceptive you are.
Meia: What's this for?
Yamato: Hmmm...I thought you were a smart little girl. I'm going to train you.
Meia: For what?
Yamato (sighs): You ask too many questions.
With that remark he dashes at Meia with lightning speed and attacks with his wooden sword. Yet somehow, as quick as he is, Meia is able to block the attacks but how long will she last? He is way stronger than she is.
Meia (thought): Why do I have to fight? To train? For what purpose? Shit, he's right, I do ask a lot of questions. I can't last long..but..I can't give up either.
He swung hard and quick. She was hit and she fell to the floor. Ikari started to laugh.
Yamato: I thought you would last longer that, I guess you are just a waste of my time after all.
Meia : Damn you old man!
This was a surprise to him, she got up again and was ready for another round.
Yamato: Heh, maybe I was wrong, but you better prove it!
He attacked again but she was ready now. He swung at her at full force and speed and she jumped high above his head as quick as lightning and smashed the wooden sword onto Yamato's skull as it broke (the sword). She landed as gracefully as a cat and stared into his face. Her face was filled with surprise just like the old man, with a very sore head.
Yamato: Where the hell did that come from?!
Meia: I...don't know.
Yamato: I can't believe it, a little girl actually hit me (hard too!). Such speed, she should be useful to us.
Ever since that fight, Meia has developed a taste for battle, enjoying every moment of her Bushido practise, learning from her master. It has been 5 years. He wasn't the only one there at this dojo/temple place. There were 7 more members all with a unique fighting skill. Shouzo, a 16 year old boy, his strength was great and he is an authority figure among the group at his young age, no matter how much he disliked it. He was stern but his only joy came from Meia. Megumi, an 18 year old girl who fights with fans. She is a bossy person but she is really a good person. Shinta, a 15 year old, he's rude and oboxious and thinks he's god's gift to women, he is good at using staffs but yearns for a stronger weapon. Yuki, another 15 year old, she is vain and lets everyone know it, she uses kunai to fight and her aim is very deadly. Keito, a very sweet, polite, caring girl, she will not kill anything and she has a soft spot for every living thing. She fights with fists only if she needs to but she will mostly fight with words. Hiro, 20 year old male, he is a stern, mean, cruel person who really doesn't mean to, he is incredibly jealous of Shouzo because everyone looks up to him even though he was older and he isn't the smartest person either. He fights with swords and he will never give up and thus he never loses. Kou, a smart young man, he always studies books and he thinks he is superior because of his knowledge. He fights with nunchuks and his strategic battle plans always works because of his precision and care. Together they make up the Kuro Okami.
Meia: How strange of me, I've been here for years without a reason, but, I wouldn't give it up for anything.
Hiro: We gotta attack the government while they're weak, we gotta stop their reign on the people of Japan. The Meiji period restricts us of all the things we need.
Shouzo: Don't be foolish Hiro-san! We will be killed if we go, they have guns, we don't.
Hiro: Guns or not, we can beat 'em!!
Megumi: No, Shouzo's right Hiro, we won't live through it.
Keito: That's right, the peaceful way is the best way.
Shinta: I wonder how I knew you were going to say that? I agree with Hiro, let's just kick ass, plain and simple!
Yuki: You would give your life away that easily? You will die if you go.
Shinta: ...I..guess you're right.
Hiro: ..Hmph..We'll never win if we keep hiding out here.
Yuki: At least we'll live.
Kou: She's right, how could you let a girl outsmart you? Idiot!
Hiro: Shut the hell up, I don't need your opinion.
Yuki: Whadya mean "How could you let a girl outsmart you"? We can outsmart you guys all the time, we actually think. So shut up already.
Yamato: Stop bitching, you're all giving me a headache, I'm gonna go outside for a bit. Oh yeah, I expect this dojo to be clean when I come back in.
Everyone: ...Alright.
Yamato walks out and everyone start to clean up the place.
Hiro: Stupid old man, why do we always have to clean up this stinking dojo?
Shouzo: He's our sensei Hiro-san. Show some respect, you wouldn't be in this group without him around.
Hiro:Maybe I don't want to.
Meia: Life here isn't really interesting, all we do is train, clean and cook but I do like the training.
Keito: I'm glad Yamato-sama let you in our group, but, did he ever tell you what we do?
Meia: ...No, now that I think of it, I guess I didn't really care, I have a family now...
Yuki: We're rebels, but I make us look goooood. You guys would look horrible without me.
Meia: Rebels.
Shouzo: Yeah, rebels. We rebel against the Meiji period we live in now. It was better then, living in the age of the Tokugawa.
Megumi: Well, I almost finshed dinner. Meia can you go out and look for my father? Dinner should be ready when you come back.
Meia: Alright Megumi-sama.
She walks outside and starts looking for her Sensei.
Meia: He's usually at the Aoiya. I'll check there.
She starts for the Aoiya but a sight she always remembered appeared in her face, the sight of blood. Upon the masses of bodies she sees her sensei fallen dead and cold. Many people gathered around and she pushed herself through to get to him.
Meia: Yaaamaato-sensei!!!
She gets to his body. He was attacked brutally, by people with guns. Bullet wounds were visible on his body. The bystanders said he was attacked when he got in a fight with a government official. That was the first time in a long time that she had ever cried. She buried him and the wooden crosses came back to haunt her. After paying her respects to a man who was like a father to her she headed back to the dojo to tell the rest of the Kuro Okima.
Megumi: What? No way, father, no, please tell me you're lying. He can't be, he just can't be.
Meia: I'm sorry Megumi-sama. It's the truth, I buried him.
Shouzo: I just can't believe it! He can't be dead after all these years.
Meia: I know.
Hiro: Now...
Yuki: Now?
Hiro: Do you see now? The government has no heart, they killed a man because he had different beliefs. Just because he didn't believe in their government he was killed. Now we have to pay our Sensei by destroying the government for good!
Everyone (except Shouzo and Keito): Yeah, he's right!!
Shouzo: We will be killed too if we do that.
Keito: That's right!
Yuki: We can't just hide here for the rest of our lives.
Megumi: The government killed my father! Don't you understand?
Kou: Yeah, I think Hiro will be the better leader for this. At least Yamato-dono will be at peace!
Shouzo: Fine, Hiro will lead you (to your deaths).
Meia: So what are we going to do?
Kou: I'll devise a plan.
Shouzo walks off to his room. Meia follows him.
Meia: Shouzo, why?
Shouzo: What do you mean why?
Meia: Why did you give away your leadership like that?
Shouzo: What makes me a leader? They all agree I shouldn't be, why stop them?
Meia: Shouzo..I think you would make a better leader than Hiro, he just cares about fighting, you care about our lives.
Shouzo: ....
Meia leans over and kisses him.
Meia: Don't be so sad.
Shouzo: I won't then.
He smiles at her and they kiss again.
Hiro: The time is now, we must attack.
Kou: You all remember the plan right?
Everyone: Yes.
Hiro: And remember, this is for FREEDOM!!
Megumi: And for my father!
Everyone cheers
Hiro: Everyone, be careful.
They walk outside and run stealthly through the night. They reach a cliff overlooking the ocean, there is a ship below.
Kou: That's the ship where all the important politicians are in.
Hiro: That's where they were in.
Hiro takes out some bombs and throws them to the ship below.
Hiro: Let's see what they think about that. Come on, it's time to kick ass!
Behind them a whole bunch of government officials popped up holding their guns and the Kuro Okami knew something had gone wrong. The government knew before hand. They were trapped, all they can do is fight now.
Hiro: Oh shit! How did they know?!
Kou: My plan was perfect, but who spilled it?
Hiro: We have to fight now.
They did. Each member used their special attacks and took down a lot of the troops, but, more kept coming. It was 8 against 50 now. Their only choice was to fight back.
Gov't Official: Didn't expect this did you? Haha, we knew a lot of people will try to attack the boat so we sent in a fake. Fools!
Hiro: Oh fuck!
Shouzo: ......
Gov't Official: Now die!
The bullets fired out of the guns, they ripped through the skin of the Kuro Okami. They still tried to fight and they took down around 10 troops but they were weak from the loss of blood now, they could fight no more. Each one died a slow, agonizing death. Still they tried to fight. One of the soldiers pointed his rifle at Meia, when Shouzo saw this he jumped in front of Meia blocking off the bullet shots, he looked at her and gave her his ring, and pushed her off the cliff as she watched blood fly from his body. She screamed when she saw that he was dying as she fell into the ocean.
Meia: What happened?!
She had regained conciousness and swam back to shore and climbed up the cliff, the ring still in her hand. She had to know what happened. She was covered in blood, her own and Shouzo's. She made it and saw that so many people were dead, all of the Kuro Okami and a few officials. She ran to Shouzo's side.
Meia (crying): Shouzo, you were right, we shouldn't have, why didn't we listen to you? I'm so sorry. Please forgive us. You saved my life, but you had to give yours away. Why did you do it? You could've lived but you saved me. Why? I love you so much but you died for me. I want to be with you again. I will always love you. I won't forget you. I'll never forget you.
She took out her silver chain and put his ring onto it. She will never forget this site. The row of crosses, wooden crosses. She buried them with the wooden crosses she made from the cherry blossom trees surrounding them.
Meia: I will avenge you.
It was a dark night. An old man was sitting at his desk. He was an important politician. All of a sudden he saw a dark shadow behind him and that was all he saw. With a swipe of the sword he was dead. The shadowed assassin wore a black cloak, it's sensei's black cloak.
Officer: There have been a lot of murders lately, all the victims were with the government. It was peaceful after the rebellion 2 years ago, but now murders are happening again. That's why we've asked you to come, the assassin was never seen before and it will be hard to find him, but we believe you can locate him. Will you help us Takahashi Kenji?
Kenji: I'll do my best.
Takahashi walks out of the officer's office and starts his search for the cloaked assassin.
While in a forest 2 days later...
Assassin: I'll hide here for the night, but I will overthrow the government at all costs. I must.
Takahashi walks into the forest in his search.
Assassin: So they already sent me something to kill, he found me pretty fast.
Kenji: Come out and play murderer.
The assassin jumps out of the trees.
Assassin: Well, what are you waiting for? Let's play!
They started fighting at once. Takahashi blocked every move the assassin threw, so far.
Assassin: Nice, you don't disappoint me like those other guys. They didn't even put up a fight , haha.
Kenji: So seeing them die is fun for you? This is all entertainment for you?
Assassin: No, it's revenge.
The assassin flipped over him and kicked him in the back. Takahashi stumbled a bit. Then the assassin took his sword and cut it across Takahashi's back as a long cut appeared. Takahashi turned around and ran at the assassin but flipped backwards tricking him then cutting him with his own katana. The cloak ripped and fell off revealing a young, beautiful girl.
Kenji: What? A..girl?
Girl: Is it that much of a surprise to you?
She attacked again. Her speed increased and she was impossible to hit. Takahashi just stood there, eyes closed.
Her sword slashed his shoulder and her grabbed it with his hand. His hands and shoulders were bleeding but he didn't let go.
Girl: What the hell are you doing?!
Kenji: I don't want to hurt you but I don't want you to hurt anyone else.
He yanked the sword out of her hands as she just looked at him dumbfounded. She regained her senses and was ready for another round
Girl: I don't need a sword to kill you, I'll do it with my bare hands.
He dodged her attacks but he didn't attack back.
Girl: Why won't you fight me you stupid bastard?!
Kenji: The people you kill have family too! Don't you?
Girl: What?
Kenji: What's your name?
Girl: I know better than to tell you! I give my name only to my friends, besides, the dead don't need to know me.
Kenji: Fine. Your family wouldn't want you to do this.
Girl: My family was killed.
Kenji: Oh, I'm sorry. And your friends?
Girl: The damn government killed them!
Kenji: Is that why?
Girl: ...Yes...
Kenji: You are killing friends and families of innocent people. What does that make you? You're not any better than the government.
Girl: ....You don't know how it feels!
Kenji: I know very well, I was an orphan and a buch of rebels killed my friends 2 years ago at a rebellion.
Girl (surprised): No, it can't be. You and your troops killed my friends! You murdered them!
Kenji: Would it make you feel better if you killed me?
Girl: Hell yeah.
Kenji: Would you stop killing others?
Girl: ....Yes..I only want to kill the people responsible for killing my friends.
Kenji: Fine. Then kill me.
He sat down and threw his sword far away and gave the other sword back to the girl.
Kenji: What are you waiting for?
Girl: You want me to kill you?
Kenji: If it would make you stop killing. I don't want anyone getting hurt, especially you. You could die if you keep on killing. Someone will catch you and they will show no mercy.
Girl: Just like Shouzo!
She fell to her knees
Kenji: Girl?
Girl: ...The name is Kisaragi Meia.
Kenji (smiling): Meia-chan...
Meia stopped killing, her senseless raged ceased and she was happy again. She was her normal self, she was also still a Ninja, she never forgot the Kuro Okami. She never will. She looked at the ring on her neck and smiled as warm memories of her love flooded back. She loved him so and she will never ever forget him.
She walked to the ocean and saw a young girl.
Her name was Rebecca Chi and her sister was killed. She needed to go back to Korea. She asked to stay with Yuri until she can find the rest of her family. After a while she agreed. Then she met another girl. She wasn't from Japan and she was running like someone was going to kill her. She had blonde hair and green eyes. She was younger than Meia. Meia followed her. The blonde girl seemed to notice and hid among the trees as she entered the forest.
Meia: Come out! I won't hurt you I promise.
Rebecca: I'm hungry and I wanna eat, I also want to go on a horse ride.
Meia: Oh come on, right now?
Rebecca: Please!!
Meia: That's enough, you're really starting to annoy me kid!
Rebecca: You're starting to annoy me! I wanna eat!
She couldn't hold back any more, Meia raised her hand and smack Becki on the back on the head.
Rebecca: Ouch! What was that for?!
Meia: Your initiation into brat-hood. Now shut up.
Meia walked around again and saw some leaves rustle. She ran and jumped up into that tree and stared at the blonde haired girl. She had green eyes and was younger than Meia. She had a broad sword and a couple of daggers. Meia could tell she wasn't an ordinary girl. They fought each other and Meia won. After Meia earned Jessica's trust they became the best of friends.
Meia: Wow! You got a lot of money with the new job you got! We can finally take Becca home now, back to Korea!
Jessica: Yes! She'll be so happy..and so will we!
Meia: No more baby-sitting! Especially for free!
Rebecca: I'm going home?
Meia: Uh huh!
Rebecca: Yes! Real food and better looking people to be around.
In unison Jessica and Meia smacked Becca in the head once again.
Rebecca: Owww!! I'll be so happy to leave you people!
Meia: You'll miss us!
Rebecca: Sure...When am I leaving huh? I wanna go right away!
Rebecca went back home to Korea and was back with her family. About 2 years later Meia and Jessica met a strange person, her name was Aleaha Trulzas....
