"At least I tried something. At least I didn't sit they more interested in myself and my bloody sake like you and the rest."

His words made me laugh, He tried something alright. and he looked for a excuse to make him feel better and make us feel like we were the ones doing it. It was true I didn't do anything because I had no desire to become a Hero. This other guy acted out of emotions and the will to do something right. yet he didn't use common sense. Many people here were not warriors what could they have done to prevent this. Was I able to stop this maybe I did I could have grabbed the kid as well but I knew blood will flow.

I then saw the man pack his bag and headed for the exit but not before he gave another hit of words to those in this room. "Maybe I didn't make the right choice. Maybe I was grandstanding, but at least I didn't sit there like a damn coward." A coward? It may have seen to him that me and the other people here were cowards, yet being smart doesn't make you a coward. He fucked up but tried to make us look bad. I didn't care about those people here, hell most of them were cowards but me the worst thing he could have done was calling me a coward.

" If you're so great and all, why running away like a little bitch. "

My words had a little of anger in them, I would walk forwards stepping over the dead bodies stopping next to the kid looking down as his face just showed confusion. I then looked over to his mother and she seemed to have no idea about what just happened. My eyes then looked upon the father who seemed to gain back abit of his senses, he will be alright.

" If you had been stronger you're son would have had to see the foolish action that just took place. "

I then stepped outside as well following the foolish hero, I knew the man was a warrior and had some skill with those small blades but fighting doesn't always become the best option in these type of situations. I would just stand near the man looking at him with a grin on my face. He called me a coward and thats the word I hate the most in my life.

The inn of a village between two major cities was a place were many travelers would spent the night. So the inn was always packed with all type of wanders, so also me, Maki the perfect example of one lost but with a goal bigger then the world. I needed to get into the Oda army to find those he wanted to kill. But this goal was not ready to be followed as he wasn't strong enough and he had to gain more knowledge and strength from the outside world. Being grown and stronger I wasn't still ready to go an follow that goal.

Also on this day the inn was packet with allot of travelers and the innkeeper had a great income this evening. I was sitting in the far corner abit in the dark as I wanted to be kept alone and just let me drink my sorrow away for the day with some sake. I had money from certain jobs and all but I didn't really wanted to buy anything big so the money mostly was spend on booze and a place to sleep and some food. I was wearing my wanders hat so my face would be covered by the shadow provided by the hat.

But it would not be peaceful for long as with a large crowed and different type of wanders good and bad it was about to unfold into a brawl or anything like that. The innkeeper knew this so he had some guys hired to keep the place in check. There were 2 of them standing at the entrance to check on who entered and one was at the bar and another two just keep walking around to intervene whenever something happened.

At one point something started to go off, a large male with a big scar on his face bumped into a kid that was playing and knocked him down hard, the parents saw that and of course the father would step up for his child but he seemed heavily outmatched. He was about to grab a weapon but the large male already punched him hard making him fall backwards breaking the table with his fall, he was knocked out and the woman just started to scream. The two hired fighters that were walking around were there fast as the place wasn't that big but they seemed scared of the large male, even more when they saw 3 other warriors back up the large male. He didn't came alone and they seem the type that would be hired to kill somebody just because they look big and scary.

I saw all that happened but didn't move abit, even though the kid crying and seeing his father beaten like that made me clench my teeth together I didn't move. Was I scared no, but was it something I had to correct no. There probably be some good guys around here that would try to sort these type of things out, but it had to happened soon before things would get out of hand fast.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay here.

He moved forwards again, I knew the speed was probably even but this guy his strength was far more powerful then my, and his fist seemed to pack a certain explosion to it. It had to be those gloves he was wearing. He already held a weapon so that's why he told me to pick up the blade. I understand now I had to make sure he could not hit me with those fists. As he drew closer I had to make sure he didn't gain any momentum. I could match his speed but his movements were hard to read.

I just dashed back to gain abit more distance and time as he came in. I rolled back with a slash to his legs to make him stop moving unless he wanted to have his leg cut off. But still i knew he would have something up his sleeve and got back up and waited again. Something held me back from attacking because I knew if those fists hit their mark it would be finished.

" it seems you held a secret from me! "

As he stepped back and trowing a punch of his own, it was to late for me to stop mine and both fist would collide, it seemed his was more powerful and it blew my fist back with force and a pain would run trough my arm. This man held allot of power but he must have felt some pain for his own because it wasn't that I had no power at all. I would step back as I hear him giving me one more chance. He would move around and it made me see I was facing a warrior that had been in more fights then me and held more experience.

" Fuck it "

I would step back grabbing the blade from the sand and raised it up. I had come far and didn't want it to end here by this man. He did have my respect but he was in the way of my goal. I would slide back into my fighting stance this time with the Katana blade pointing forwards and I just waited for the man to move. I had to figure out a way fast. I was lacking the strength to face him head on but speed wise it was even.

" Guess I don't have a choice then. "

My eyes tried to follow every motion this warrior made and learn from it. I could still feel the pain in my fist and arm but ignored it because of the adrenaline rush I was getting.

The moment they realized I woke up, they changed again towards each other. I was maybe not the most smartest man in this room but I wasn't stupid either. My mother always told me about love so I knew what it looked like. But never did I see two men in love with each other. Of course I wasn't one to judge them but still it was the first time seeing it. But I had the feeling for some reason they tried to hide it from me or lets say everybody.Were they ashamed of loving another man. But before I could speak the man asked me how I was feeling.

" Well, I'm still alive, but I never felt worse in my life. You two crushed my dream with just three arrows. "

It was true because those three arrows made me understand that I was weak and nowhere near the level I needed to be to kill those men. It was a double standard, because I should be thankful for them showing me that I wasn't ready yet but also it kinda pushed me back into the dark. It was painful to know I wasn't a strong warrior when I wish I was. All that training all that suffering was it for nothing.

My head turned to the side looking at them both as the other also begun to speak. I wasn't allowed to move as of the wounds. Why did they care I was confused by this. I tried to kill him, yet he takes care of my wounds. Was it because he felt sorry for me or was this just a game. Well I should be grade full I guess because I could still become stronger and kill those men.

" You maybe feel like you did me a favor by saving me. but even people as small as me can grow and become a problem of that goal of yours uniting all off Japan. Maybe if we were born in a different time a different live I would have fought beside you making that dream become a reality. "

I really did feel this way, but the way I was raised by myself and all the pain, I knew this wasn't able. But it did become clear of what goal I had to reach before even thinking about finding those men. I had to become stronger and faster and smarter. But now I wanted to know one more thing of those two.

" One thing that kinda bothers me is, Why would 2 men fall in love with each other? And even more so why hide it from the public? I see the way the two of you act together it isn't hard to see. "

Welcome, I hope you enjoy your stay

(ooc: I'm not with a fraction yet so I have to do it like this. Hope that its ok with you all)

A man walked up to me with a strange request, he wanted to test 15 men he was leading in a training. He wanted to see if they were able to protect a item that was in there lord's room. He thought his men were sleeping on the job and this was a test. But there was a risk for me if they would spot me they will attack me as if I'm a real enemy. This because they will not know its a test. There was some good money for me in it so why not. It was a good test to see if I was able to be sneaky like a ninja or assassin how you would call them. The man asked me to leave my weapons behind so I wasn't able to kill anybody even if I was spotted. This night will be one of the most funny yet scary nights in my life.

I was brought to a small castle by the man and told me to steal a certain item out of the room of the lord located at the center of the upper floor. The castle was small so had only two floors. I was to steal a golden box with a jade stone in it. It was supposed to be a item that meant allot to their lord.

I was not stupid enough to just walk trough the front gate, two of the guards were standing there so that meant there were 13 more inside. I would climb over the wall on the right side and dropped on enemy territory. I was wearing black so i would blend in with the darkness that night. I would crawl low to enter the castle and stick to the wall. I had no clue were the stairs leading up were so I had to scan room for room. as I was about to walk around a corner near the stairs I could hear footsteps coming straight at me. Fuck, were did I need to go. I entered the room next to me and closed the door by sliding it smooth so it didn't make a sound. It seemed two men were patrolling this hall near the stairs. They were having a conversation that kinda caught my ear. They spoke about some girls they have seen bathing nearby. These soldiers were maybe around my age and by the way they spoke they were in for some love. It was kinda weird to hear as they spoke about these girls like toy's. As they passed by I would slide the door open abit and sneak behind them to enter up the stairs.

It seemed to go easy so far.. These men didn't expected anything. As I walked up I almost bumped into a soldier that was leaning against the wall up there. Shit I was caught? Wait? He didn't move, by a closer look it seemed he was sleeping? So that man was right his men were sleeping on the job. If I wanted I could just kill this lord, but that wasn't why I was here. I would walk past him and now I had to find the room of their lord. It was supposed to be in the center. Something did fell off because there were supposed to be 15 men and so far I only saw 5. Some were probably patrolling outside as well but still. I would stick close to the walls as low as I could until I saw a room with two men watching it. They were awake but if that was the room how could I enter without them seeing me?

I had to think fast because other soldiers could be walking these halls. I entered a room to my left just a few rooms away from the Lords room. I would hide in a dark corner as I was trying to find a plan. Until I heard a sound. It sounded of that of a woman in a deep dream. As I looked up I saw this beautiful woman sleeping but moving as she slept. Who's room did I enter? It seemed it was a young girl not older then me so was it the lords daughter? What if she woke up and saw me here? They chop of my head for that. She was starting to wake up and I had to think fast and before she opened her eyes I walked up to the window and climbed trough and would hang on the ledge. She raised up from the bed and wanted to get some fresh air as she walked up to the window. I could see her as she took some deep breaths. I had to stay silent but my arms were starting to get heavy.

'Fuck what am I supposed to do now? '

I could not climb back in nor could I drop down. I had to move from ledge to ledge, it was a way to reach the room I wanted and after the woman went back to bed I would slide my way from edge to edge until I reached the room I needed to be. I would firs peek to see if nobody was awake in this room and lucky for me nobody was. With pain in my arms I would climb in trying to make no sound at all. I would take a moment to relax my arms and at the same time scan the room for the item.

Until I found it but wait, he was holding it when sleeping? Could this go more weird or what? I would walk on my toes as I came closer but how would I be able to get the item from his hands without waking him up. being a ninja seemed less then easy now and what if I did get it how would I get out. my arms hurted so using the ledge would be out of the question. Fuck it, I would just try to get it and reached out to grab it but at the time I felt the item my hand was grabbed, I looked up scared but it seemed he just grabbed my hand in his sleep. Then he mum-belt something.

" Hmm come sleep with me. "

What the fuck? Did he think I was a woman? what was he dreaming, he was holding me but released the box and with the other hand I could grab it and placed it in my pocket. All I had to do now was to remove the hand. I would slowly slide my hands from his. He move as I released my hand and I just held my breath hoping he would not wake up and he thank god he didn't. This night was giving me mini heart attacks. I never wanna be a ninja that's for sure. Now I just had to get out and not been seen and all that money would be mine.

The door wasn't a option and neither was the ledge but those were the only two options I had. Damn, I just have to use the ledge and hope my arms would keep up. I would climb back out the window and started to make my way back but my arms were killing me and my grip was weakening. Until the point came as I lost grip and fell down from the first floor just having my fall soften by a bush. It still hurted my back but nothing was broken. My body wasn't visibil at this point as I was all inside the bush and tried to catch my breath. Until I felt warm water hit me in the face. What was this? Until I heard a sound of pleasure almost and I could see a soldier with eyes closed and... wait what? he was peeing over my face but I could not yell or whatever and just tried to think happy thoughts.

'this is not worth the money! '

I thought to myself. but I was almost there, the man left to go back to his patrol and it took me a second to move again I felt really dirty at this point and my back hurt my arms hurt. I would just have to climb that wall and I'm out. So I took a small sprint up the wall and grabbed the top pulling me up with the last strength I had and landed outside the walls. I would now walk up to the man that was waiting nearby. As he saw me coming up he sight, knowing the men didn't really do there job as a guy like me could steal from their lord.

" Here you go! "

I tossed him the box as he tossed me my coin, but then he started to look at laugh telling me I was smelling really bad and looked like a mess but non the less I did a good job. I would already spent a sum of this coin as I walked to the nearest inn to get a nice bath and clean myself.

I won, it felt great.. after 12 years training and losing my first fight, wining this one made me feel more alive then ever. I was able to win, hell I was able to kill. My eyes turned into those of one waiting for more blood. I could feel why people liked this place. It was dark and filthy but there were no restrains here. You could kill those that were meaning nothing outside but in here they were gods. It was a illusion I could get lost in really easy.

A bag was thrown at my feet filled with coins.. I looked at the side and saw it was thrown by the man that placed his bet on my. It seemed he made allot of money by offering me this bag of gold. But the gold didn't really seem to flather me that muchts I wanted something more. I wanted to fight again. I could feel that I was becoming what I needed to become in here. Maybe my goal in life was here. I could be a champion here.

" Up for some more gold? "

I looked over at the man with a grin on my face, but then turned my face towards the one leading all this. I just gave him a simple node with the head to show him I was ready for another fighter or warrior how you would call it. The man seemed pleased as he shouted for another warrior to step upon the sand. Out of the crowed a man stepped into the ring but he seemed weak and drunk and that didn't please me at all.

" Trow in another fighter, I want to face two this time. "

My confidence was higher then ever and another man stepped into the ring upon the sand. We would draw weapons. I was more lucky this this time, I picked the stone baring the mark of a Katana blade. The two others were given a blunt fist weapon as the other was given dual daggers.

Ow this gonna be trouble haha

Even when I was fighting for my life I could hear the man that placed all his money on me? Foolish but yet he seemed to have more faith then I did myself. He told me to use my foot to push the spear tip further into the wound and it seemed that was a great way to get out of this death grip. I kicked as hard as I could with my right foot against the tip and is pushed further in. Blood would spill out of the man his mouth as his insides were ripped open. The man his grip loosen as he stumbled back looking confused and in pain. I dropped back down as my feet could touch the ground once again.

It was now my turn to finish it around, yet I was this far because of the warrior that placed his bet on me. If he didn´t show me what to do maybe I would still be up there. But at this point I had just a stick left for a weapon so I had to think up something fast. The man could still kill me as long as he was able to swing that axe. I would not waste any time as the man was still in pain and it was still fresh. I rushed forwards and the man for some reason was able to swing his axe but it was slow and powerless, I could easily roll forwards avoiding it. As I rolled past his legs I would smash the stick in the back of his knee forcing him to drop down on his knee. I would now be at the back of him. I and he would be kneeled. His head was bend forwards revealing the back of his neck. Because of the way he broke my spear the tip of the stick was sharp and could cut flesh if strike hard enough. I would give this man a fast dead if it worked.

I raised my arms smashing the stick in the back of his neck far enough to kill him as the man dropped down still having the stick stuck in his neck. My arm was raised by the one being the judge and the crowed fell silent, it seemed there champion had fallen and not I was there new champion. and of course many would have lost coin to the warrior that placed his bet on me.
