Sakimi looked down at the dead body. "Disgusting," She muttered.

The body was that of a ninja. A female ninja. "She killed herself and her own child to prevent dishonor," Shikimi shook her head "Just disgusting." She exited the house she was in.

When outside Shikimi had been ambushed. A person held her in a neck hold while five others with swords surrounded her and pointed there blades at her. "'ey, pretty lady." One of the said, "I 'an't believe dat 'our da assassin dat de boss was talkin' 'bout."

"So what's it to ya?" Shikimi said. Her body was tense, but she could manage to sound calm.

Another one of the men spoke "'bout a week back, twas 'aid dat dere was an assassin who killed Lieutenant Chou. Twas said dat this here assassin 'ould be found in Japan. And dere was even da rumor sayin' twas a woman." All the men smirked at this remark. "Whoda 'ought it'd be true, eh?"

The group of men all prepared to kill her.
These idiots forgot to restrain my hands.
Shikimi pulled out her sword and announced "Kyouken, Howl!" In the blink of an eye all the men lay immobilized on the floor. Shikimi kneeled down next to the man who had had her in a neck hold and briskly whispered, "You tell your boss to not mess with me. Ya hear? Now, give me one good reason that i shouldn't kill you all right here."

The man stared blankly, his breaths were short. "Well come on," Shikimi continued "You must have something worth your life. Unless you really want to di--"

"NO! No, I know somethin'. Deres a tournament. A tournament for warriors."

"Is that all?" Shikimi lifted her sword.

"No, no, no. Please. You need the letter to get in. It's in my left pocket."

Shikimi carefully reached into his pocket and pulled out a letter. Her eyes scanned it a few times, and then she turned around to leave. As she was walking away she hollered "And tell you boss that I might not be as merciful for the next group!"
A tournament, eh? Sounds interesting. And I'm sure there'll be a lot of ninja there. I guess I should kill them all.

This letter, interesting as it were. Find out who the strongest is? It's quite pointless to him, he really doesn't like tournaments, but nowadays, a challenge was extremely rare. So he took the challenge anyways, accordingly it was to be held at Genji Arena in Bokuro City. Not a bad place that, but it'd be the best if you knocked off all the angry Ronin who run wild in that area. Sighing, Kokuei realized that that tournament was going to be made up of mainly Ronin. No one recognized him, being a famous assassin, there was actually a bounty on his head. According to the details of this tournament, this tournament was an Underground tournament, held by none other than outlaws. So it was safe for him, to join this tournament.

Sipping his tea slowly, he placed the letter in his pocket, and before he knew it, someone had yelled out to him.

"Oi! What's that letter there? It's talkin' about the strongest I hear!", this man was obnoxious, his body may be large, but even an idiot could tell that his brain was as small as a pebble.

"You have good eyes... for someone who seems impaired...", said Kokuei, placing his finished cup of tea down. Then proceeding to pour some more,

"what", he whispered, closing into Kokuei's face, "was that?",

"so I was right... You are impaired, even your hearing", his tea was done being poured. Ready to keep drinking. Kokuei realized that a scene had occurred, but judging from how most of the people reacted, it seemed that this guy, was a regular at picking fights. According to looks of some people, this guy was undefeated.

"What was that? Think you're so tough huh?! Let's see you fight my sword!", he yelled angrily, with a metallic set of sounds, a blade had slashed vertically, and done so as quickly as it it had been drawn. While silent, like the shadows, a small, half metre blade was drawn, and with unwavering defense, he blocked it. His arm hardly moved.

"You're good at drawing your blade... But you lack precision to break a block", he calmly stated.

"Don't act so high and mighty!", the man raised his blade again, but Kokuei, was already behind him, only a mere shadow was left behind. The vertical slash went straight down, and through him. It was strange seeing a blade go right through him, but he'd seen this happen many times before.

"Huh?!",

"I'm right here... You really shouldn't pick so many fights you know...", said Kokuei, drinking his tea. Looks like he brought it with him. And with each word, the man slashed,

"Don't!", "You!", "Tell!", "Me!", "What!", "To!", and the last word couldn't come out. The man was easily parried, a sharp elbow straight to the chest, then in an instant, Kokuei had taken advantage of a pressure point, and put him to sleep. With that he walked out, not before saying,

"Put my tab on that guy".

O.OC=Ichi my character?

[ichijin]

OOC: No, some random guy...

[DarkKyuubi]

O.OC=lol fine ill edit it just tell me?

[ichijin]

OOC: Huh? You mean approval of your character? yea, it's approved, sorry, forgot >_>

[DarkKyuubi]

O.OC-Ah i see what you meant XD

Shinji walks through a town with a smile on his face, "Excuse Me," Shinji asks a old women, "Would you know where i can get some food?" the old woman looks at him and points at a building, "Thank you," Shinji said smiling, he walked towards the place and heard a fight seemed to be going on, he was about to walk in when a man walked out and ran right into him, "Off" Shinji said as he hit the man, "Oh I am sorry," Shinji said to the person.

Shinji looks at the person and recognises him, "Hey You are..." Shinji starts to say.

[ichijin]

OOC: Huh? You bumpin' into me?

IN:
On the way out, what better way to start the day. Breakfast, then tea, then fight, then bump into a familiar looking samurai. Or not, this guy seemed to recognize him though, his broken question was cut up by his own voice,

"I'm on my way out, is there some sort of problem?", he asked. He of course, didn't want to look suspicious, since he was wanted by the law. This guy, he wanted to bypass him, he had no reason at the moment to fight, and kill him. But if he poses a challenge, maybe he'll stick around. But he doesn't want to find out, the large block of lard he just beat up might wake up while he fights. That's probably gonna result in an interference.

[DarkKyuubi]

Shinji realises who it is, "Well Well Well, If it isn't Kokuei Shuriken," Shinji recognised the man, he was wanted by the law, an extremely skilled assassin and Shinji himself had nearly faced off against this guy, during a mission, but most probably Kokuei would not recognise him because he was partly hidden by the shadows on that mission, "Well I don't have a problem, just i recognised you from the war," Shinji said smiling as he looked at Kokuei.

[ichijin]

"Oh? many have told me that", he replied. True, but also an excuse to get going, but, he's seen his face before. Famous accordingly, though nowadays, only Samurai get all the attention, even back then. Moving along, he walked right past the man, there are a lot of people from the war appearing now. Maybe it's some sort of sign? They say change is only complete, when warriors of the old die. Maybe he'll have to die someday, sometime, somewhere... Not likely, he plans to live through all this.
