Prologue

A New Life

Prologue

A woman in her mid twenties stood by a book case that stretched to the ceiling and all along its side. Her brown hair came to her shoulders and her eyes glowed a sky blue color. "Mika...have you talked too Kida?" A woman with bright green hair and chocolate brown eyes said holding a stack of papers to her chest. "She left a few days ago...she had to let herself free" Mika said. Mizu, the green haired secretary nodded, "A few days?" She said confused. Mika nodded, "Well how long has it been since any of us had let ourselves free" She said in a almost chuckle, her voice seductive but deep. Mizu looked at the papers. "its almost December 9th..." She said. Mika ran her polished nail over the top of the desk, its shine reflected the light of the lamp. "I know...its almost time isnt it...Kida would never want us to do this...but we have no choice" She said standing up. "tell Ayumi to meet me in the laboratory." Mika said. Mizu nodded and disappeared out of the office door.

"This is how its always been Mika...you and Kida need to except that she has to go...she bares a beast that cannot be unleashed in our home...you either execute her...or send her away..." "How do we do that...?" "She is suppose to be the next Kaida...tell her that she get to start her journey now..."

Mika paced back and forth in front of a lab chair, a beautiful ebony hairs temptress sat, her knees pulled together and her back arched so her chest was enhanced. "Ayumi...you know your birthday is almost here correct?" Mika said. Ayumi smiled and nodded, the bell around her neck rang harmonized beautifully just like her voice. "Tell me what happens..." she said. Ayumi nodded and spoke. "When the heir to next Kaida turns 16 she leaves to lead her own movement and rule her own village" Ayumi said. Mika smiled, "Very good" She said, her voice half praise, and half in contemplative.

Ayumi was...special you could say. She had the looks of a Kaida, and her mother was a Kaida before she had disappeared when Ayumi was young. But Ayumi's father wasn't a member of the Shadow clans, therefore Ayumi is what you would call a 'half blooded' princess. She was Princess Ayumi Shukketsu of the Shadow Clan. But because of her ethnicity of her fathers, she was more like a joke. She was short, and gullible. She fell for any trick and believed everybody, but in returned, she just cared for them regardless. Mika, Mizu, and Kida are the only true Shadow Clan members that liked her not falsely, but seriously.

"Since your almost 16, we are sending you out into the world to get a head start" Mika smiled. Ayumi hopped up smiling, she was excited, now, "Alright! I can't wait, I will lead my own village, I wonder who is going to come with me" She said thinking. Mika turned, "Well we told the village...and somebody is coming with you" Mika said. Ayumi blinked, "Wait...only one...person?" she questioned. Mika nodded, "They will be waiting for you at the entrance" she said and walked to the door, "You leave today..." Mika said before exiting the room. Ayumi couldnt sense the sadness in Mika's voice and had raced out the door to her bedroom of the tower.

She had to travel light so she packed only necessity, a change of clothes, some food and weapons. She slid her body into her short blue kimono, the other Geisha princesses out casted Ayumi for the way she had dressed in her kimono, it was high above the knee, and her boots came above the knee as well. She picked up her weapon, a umbrella that disguised a katana. She was ready.

She had walked down the stairs of the tower, looking down at her feet so she was sure not to trip. People watched her go. When a Kaida left, whoever wanted to follow could follow, but from what Mika said, only one person was. 'Who could it be.' she thought.

Ayumi gulped. She saw who it was. Daichi. He smiled biting on his lip ring, her hair a honey brown color, and his eyes matched the same, short and messy, all over the place. He was ever caught hardly with a shirt on, this way you could see his tattoos. Red tribal went from his right bicep to his back and down his left leg. Extremely muscular, he was Ayumi's Guardian, and had been taking care and protecting Ayumi since as long as she can remember. She smiled running over hugging him, "I knew it was going to be you" She said happily. He let her back down and took her bag, "Of course my princess, I will follow you forever" He said, his voice was deep, masculine, everything about him screamed male. He put a finger to his chin, slight fuzz, unshaven. "Lets get going shall we" He smiled at her. She nodded.
