Samurai Saga Chapter 1 (Apprentice)

[Metalheadz]

"Grettings, everybody. I am Master Takeru. This is my dojo. Welcome to the birthplace of Japanese feudalism."

Takeru Shiraishi is a descendant of a powerful shogun, and all his life he learned the art of a samurai like his ancestors. However, he needed to carry on the bloodline art and apprentice the people of the modern world to become samurais. Takeru's great grandfather had told him of an evil emperor who will come to power again, and Takeru is the last hope for the world. For the Forbidden scrolls read there will come a time when the Art of the Samurai will be needed more, the cause is unknown as of now...

The setting:

The training ground:

A large area, about 10 acres. Along the walls of the dojo are lined with wooden swords used for training. About 20 dummies are spread throughout the training area. There are also 2 small arenas for sparring and such. A few of my servants, whom are ninjas, are more than welcome to serve the apprentices some fresh tea for energy. Other training facilities such as heavy buckets of water to hold for strength, enormous rocks to carry on the back for speed, and a few bamboo stands to balance on.

Inside the dojo:

It's pretty much an enormous feudalism-style mansion. The dojo is filled with magnificient Japanese art all over the walls, lots of cushions for me, my apprentices, and my servants. There is a dining room with a few mats in it where the servants deliver food. There are about 12 bedrooms for my apprentices, with cozy mats for them to sleep in, with very clean bathrooms and toilets. There is also an indooor hot tub for relaxing and a balcony for marvelous viewing of Japan. One room, however, is meant for meditating to calm the mind, where nobody must make any noise. 5 floors of Japanese luxury, is what you can say.

Walks up into yard and looks around. "Hello?" Thinks to self. " Oh no where am I is this the place?"

[Metalheadz]

Kako

A ninja walks in front of you. "Greetings, have you any business here?" He seems fair, but not very polite.

[*^_^*kako]

" EP! " I jump a bit and drop all my stuff on the ground. " Oh...I umm. " I bend down and start picking up my things. " I'm sorry I diden't mean to bother you....I just-" Drops things again. "I'm looking for the Dojo out here."

[Metalheadz]

Kako

"Dojo??? You foolish girl, the master only allows people in this dojo who were chosen by him alone. So why don't you trot all the way back home and..."

"Sakurai, that's about enough!!" A young man in his early 20's walks out of the dojo beside Sakurai. "Back inside, get her a fresh cup of tea." Sakurai bows and walks back inside the dojo. "I'm terribly sorry for my friend. But I was expecting somebody important. You don't happen to be Kako, are you?"

[*^_^*kako]

" Y-yes I'm kako. I'm sorry about all the noise i cause." I pick up my stuff and put my book bag back on.

[Metalheadz]

Kako

"No no, you musn't be sorry. For you are a very special person... you are a chosen one." Takeru smiles a little.

Drums begin to roll, than about 24 ninjas walk towards Kako and bow to her. Sakurai also returns with a nice, hot cup of tea for Kako and presents it to her on a delicate coushion.

[*^_^*kako]

Looks at the people then back at you. " I don't understand. "

[Metalheadz]

Kako

"The scrolls of the past told of a small group of samurai who would rid the world of evil, bringing peace to Japan and the entire world. An ancient empire will rise again, and these samurai will end his reign of destruction for good. Evil will be no more, and you, Kako, are one of the legendary heroes who will help in the struggle against this nemesis."

The ninjas clear the path into the dojo for Kako.

"Come now, Kako-chan. Lets get you something to eat and unload your things."

[*^_^*kako]

I fallow you inside. "Are you sure I'm the right kako? I mean I was just coming here, because I was told there was a job opening."

[Metalheadz]

Kako

Takeru nods at her and winks. "The scrolls make no mistakes, I can tell you are the one."

[*^_^*kako]

"But...... Who made this scroll anyways?" "What danger are you talking about?" I fallow you and look around confused.

[Metalheadz]

Kako

"See for yourself, my dear." Takeru pulls out a scroll from a shelf in the library, and shows it to Kako. "You must peek at it to understand the universe of the Samurai Art."

[*^_^*kako]

Kako looks down at scroll.

[Metalheadz]

Kako

It seems to open by itself. Suddenly, your mind is filled with all the history of the Samurai. The lords, the wars, the heroes, the art, everything. But then you get a glimpse into the future, where a demon-like samurai rides on the back of a devilish dragon, spreading fire across the Earth. But in front of the monster is a small group of samurai, Kako is one of them.
