chapter 2

In a vast room full of entertainment media, the prince is sitting eating laughing with a devilish smile on his face while in front of him is a beautiful countess imprisoned in a cage while his advisor is standing beside him in long Red Silk Fancy robe saying praising

“Wonderful  HÕJO " sama. I couldn’t imagine that’s what you were talking about”

“I told you, I will rule this country on contrast of my fool dad” The man said in an eerie childish tone

“But what will happen if the villagers know that we send the smugglers”

“How will they ....”

“Yeah and sorry for what I said before”

“You said that I am not strong and not powerful like my big brother

You see what I did , that foolish brother of me he fell for a slave I sent to kill him then I got his lovely wife as my prisoner

“My king will never let you your way” the imprisoned Woman shouted

Hojo laughed “kaya-sama if I were you. I’d care more about my life and forget about the king , My father is a mere fool, a toy in my hand when I found him. I will rip his head of his body in front of the world and become the new good lovely king... hhhhhhh”

“That won’t happen, I’m sure there are people who will  haunt you down , you think there is no good men in this country, As there are villains there are also heroes”

“Hey Takeda -the advisor-, why did the smugglers attacked other villages without a permission?”

“I dunno , I’ll search for answers”

A large robot came quickly

 “Your Highness, the report of the cragk > none of the smugglers were found and there were no attacks on other villages “

 

At the same time in the village where the prince met

“Hey elder, he is a nice man, that young prince”

Another man said

“Yeah, that’s the first time I feel like I am ready to die for my king”

“Don’t be deceived” the elder said (cough cough)

“Did you forget the one before him and the others ? they all said that but they are all smooth talking b******s”

“So why did you give him our crops ?”

“To avoid his anger, I hope The Samurai do sth.”

Hey elder “why don’t we fight with the Samurai against the emperor ?”

“No, we wait for the sequences of the actions, then decide which side is good and remember we choose the right path not the easy path”

The men shouted “yeaahh”

Inside the space ship 3 samurai are walking quietly: Ito, Azai, Ryõma could infiltrate due to The distraction and the weak guard

“What now leader ?”

Azai said to Ryõma while Ito is wandering alone inside the large maze they just got entered

“We will hear about everything and after we got some information we destroy the ship and disappear”

When they got to know some dangerous news, the cragk found them they began fighting and they could destroy most of the ship’s control engines

The prince became angry to abandon his ship then he ordered his forces to search for the samurai .

The samurai returned after they met Kazouka at a checkpoint the young man -21 years old- went on another mission while they returned back to the inn .

“Welcome back, what happened ?, where is Mizuki-san and Arai-san ?”

“Don’t worry, Sei-dono”

Mayo walked slowly into the room “where is Kazouka ?!”

“He went on an errand don’t worry, little miss” Azai said.

Mayo sat and bowed thanking them for saving her and his life .

Hours later Mizuki and Aria came back. Arai asked

Ryõma if he found sth. About his wife he said

“The cragk are retreating to prepare for sth. Big would come soon”

“What do you mean by sth. Big ?”

“He meant a big bloody war” Ito said while leaving the room in pissed off tone as usual

Mizuki asked “what about the young samurai ?”

Azai said “we sent him to warn and ask for the help of the other villages”

 

3 days later Kazouka came with  7 men and 2 women

When Arai saw the group he rushed forward to Sameari who was with them but instead of Sameari to rush for her husband she hid behind Sei.

The man continued to call her but Mizuki held him while Sei took the woman to her room, Mayo brought the food to the woman but she didn’t eat, the 2 women stayed to comfort her for her loss while Arai is desperate to see his woman .

Mizuki said

“That’s good, your woman is fine”

“I know but”

“Don’t worry she’ll be over it, both of you will”

“I want to talk to her just to tell her she is mistaken , she thought that our son’s death is only her fault but its not. Its my fault cuz I wasn’t strong”

Mizuki didn’t talk, just patted on the crying man’s shoulder

Inside the house, the meeting has begun one of the men stood

“Sakamoto Ryõma, We heard a lot about you, I am Hikari Tsuji and they are the 8 swords of the West and I am their leader”

Ito laughed “you meant 7; cuz I see 7. where is your 8 ?, hmph”

The woman -in a flash- stood, she wasn’t wearing kimonos like the other women she was wearing Sth. Like a sexy armor for a badass girl she quickly unsheathed her sword & put it on Ito’s neck

The man looked coldly to her and said “do it, kitty”

“Tsuji-san let me cut his throat”

“Michiko, stop it”

“You too, Ito” Ryõma said

Hours later

 the meeting ended as both sides joined forces and the Swords will return to their city to secure the west while the Samurai continue to fight the Prince .

Outside the inn by the small stream. Ito walked behind Michiko

“Hey kitty, we still have unfinished business”

“Go away . I didn’t come here to argue with a lunatic...but I can’t imagine how someone like you is the one called the double fangs of ookami -wolf-“

“You wanna see by yourself”

“I made an oath that I won’t kill except those who made me lost my family”

“Those who are still clinging to the past will lose themselves sooner or later” ♪

“I won’t have that kind of conversation with a sick man who live as a carefree cat “

The man clinched his fist but he smiled widely to hide his sadness then waved to her “bye michi” she was annoyed by that & left .

That night Kazouka met Mayo. It was their first time together after the blustering events.

“I missed you Kazouka . I was worried if sth. Happened to you”

“Nothing will happen to me till I avenge our fathers, that’s a promise”

“I don’t care about anyone. I just want you, us be together “

He hugged her gently then kissed her smoothly

Arai stayed all-nighter beside Azai watching Ito went training outside while Ryõma is standing at the roof watching the destroyed lands that the emperor.
