Great Watch Cipher--Chapter 1

Hello everybody, I'm Katherine Donovan and I have it here. This is a spin-off of my story Uranometia. Presenting, Great Watch Cipher. It was going to be called Great Watch Assassin which sounds cooler but I knew I wasn't going to just write about an assassin, it wouldn't make any sense. The names are Japanese and it's totally different setting than Uranometria, I hope you guys like it! Thanks and enjoy this lovely gem I made. --KatDon 

Chapter 1: The Weight of Guilt for an Assassin's Mace

"Wishing in the dark is like shooting a gun in the dark when they are angry or sad, therefore usually regretting afterwards." Two soldiers had survived from the crash as they are kidnapped by unknown members. One of them was forced to do a task, one of the members threw the other soldier on the ground. Then, the leader--who had a mask on--forced the first to kill the other. The soldier was hesitant however all the rambling of incoherrent shouting tensed the soldier however he could hear his comrade say to him, "...It's OK. I forgive you." In his panic; The soldier let out a scream and killed him. "You never know when you’re going to hit exactly what you’re aiming for. The wishes in the dark are dreams of being teared apart." Screams of terror, past memories return, horrible things happening that come back to haunt. "The key to success is obsessing over the fractions that make up the whole. If you’re not doing that, you can never, ever get on this level. Now that we look back at what we were and what they were, its only right to bring back their impact. And what we've have done in the past...I  want to forget the past and move forward with my life." Blood shed, revenge, it's all it's about. "For the most part, a lot of legends start from humble beginnings. People tend to forget that. Many people are beautiful folks that bloom in the spring, but quickly fade over time....Not me, I am not fading away. I am going to hit high." There was a warrior wielding a sword and he prepares to win back his pride. His dignity, he may carry a burden but someone else needs to feel what he feels. 

In the city of Ashihara Nakatsukuni, it was quiet--Too quiet. There seemed to be disaster in the metropolios. It wasn't the cause of tsunami, that's for sure and it wasn't a storm either. Feet running against the street, two feet with sneakers, and he ran inside of his house. Packing his bad in a rush. Panting, gasping, and mutters incoherently to himself. "Where did we go wrong? We were trying to make fireworks! We weren't trying to hurt anybody." "Where did we go wrong? We were trying to make fireworks! We weren't trying to hurt anybody." The guy said to himself. His name is Nezumi Kozo and he went to get his friends as well as get out of town. Meanwhile in Amano Iwato, far from the city of Ashihara Nakatsukuni; 14 year old Momotaro Sakata was released from the police jail for reckless endangerment after his older brother, militant 19 year old Kintaro Sakata paid for his bail. Kintaro was going to war tomorrow, so Momotaro and his parents, Sarutahiko and Uzume, are having a dinner with him before he goes. Later; Kintaro's 18 year old girlfriend, Sayohime Matsura, came to see him in his room as she wished he didn't go to war but Kintaro has to. He couldn't abandoned the task he was given, Sayohime expressed her sadness of missing him. Then, Kintaro cupped her face and pulled her close. Their eyes locked onto one another's, "You remember what I promised you? I swear to protect you, Sayo. That's my assignment." He said. Sayohime nodded, "OK." She said. Kintaro and Sayohime embraced each other, it was warm and strong. "I'll come back soon." Kintaro whispered. "You better, don't die on me my love. If you do, I'll kick your ass." Sayohime muttered in his ear, the two of them laugh. The next day; Kintaro left as Sayohime watched him go. She sighed, wondering if he'll be OK. 

Nezumi glares over at Yamato, "This all your fault, man!" He said. Yamato looked at him in disbelief, "My fault?" He said, "Oh sure, blame me that I wasn't aware the fireworks had dynamite in it." Nezumi looked nervous, "Yeah, well....I didn't see you stop me Yama. You knew this'll turn into a disaster." He remarked. "Where did we go wrong? What are we gonna do guys?" Hidari moaned. "Panicking isn't going to help, we just gotta get out of town and find a good hiding spot." Zennyo spoke up. And they did. The four friends would always hang out at the Shinto Shrine. Once saying their prayers; they discussed over what happened. But they were approached by a woman name Tsuanade Kodoku, the head of Great Watch. One day; Kintaro's trauma was induced by powers of superhuman agility and enhanced fighting ability. He finds a sword and a message from the sun goddess, Kintaro learns that he required the sword known as Kusanagi. With ths power; he could do anything and slay the monsters known as Wendigos. These Wendigos are hollowed eyed, eerily pale, and have blood stained sharp teeth. Momotaro learned about Kintaro fighting the Wendigos while he kept it a secret from their parents. But even more shocking, there was a woman Kintaro and Momotaro discovered murdering a Mafia boss. That woman was Sayohime Matsura, who is an assassin. Although shocked over what happened; Kintaro continues to love Sayohime as she was. Along the way; Kintaro comes across a boy his age who is half human-half Wendigo hybrid. His name was Tsuna Watanabe and he became a fast best friend of Kintaro, who was kind to him. In the light of the moon; Sayohime was in a white kimono, she had her kitana its sheath tied near her hip and wore tabi socks and wooden geta shoes on her feet. Her hair in a high bun, a stoic look upon her beautiful face, and was standing on the roof of the highest building. 

"A new moon, fresh for the striking kill." said Sayohime. Then, Sayohime jumps from the roof and glided into the night. Today, her assignment is to murder Silver Branch agent: Cassandra Endymion! Unknown to her; Sayohime will discover the secret truth of Cassandra!  At Silver Branch, an agent comes in. "Miss Endymion, someone wants to see you." The agent said. Curious; Cassandra left the room and came to see someone in a plaid buttoned down shirt with color dyed jeans and a wristband around her left wrist. "Um, can I help you?" asked Cassandra. Sayohime looked at her, "Are you Cassandra Endymion?" She asked. Cassandra nodded, "Yes." She said. Sayohime beckoned her, "Come with me, let's talk somewhere more private." replied Sayohime. Cassandra shrugged, "OK." She said. Cassandra followed her, however Pintosmalto watched them go as he sensed something was wrong with Sayohime. As they were walking; Sayohime pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger on Cassandra. Sayohime smirks at her smugly however her smile faded as she noticed Cassandra wasn't falling and to her shock; the bullet that hit her suddenly popped out. Sayohime couldn't believe it, "What--? THAT SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU!!!" She exclaimed. Cassandra gave the girl a small smile, "Sorry, bullets don't do anything." She said bluntly. Sayohime grunted, she was about to pull her sword out but Cass spoke out again: "You can try to slice me but that won't do anything as well. It's the same result as the bullets." Sayohime noticed that Cassandra's wound had already healed, this shocked her completely. "What is that?" asked Sayohime. Cassandra shuffled her feet and rolled her head back before smiling, "Simple, I'm bulletproof. Titanium. Stone hard. Impassable. Imprevious." She answered. Sayohime was interested, "I see." She said. Cassandra looked at her, "Who are you?" She asked. "You wanna know? I'll tell you, my name is Sayohime Matsura and I'm an Oban Assassin." replied Sayohime. Once then, Sayohime learned something about this Cassandra Endymion. 

While in training; Kintaro was doing crunches, pushups, punching the bag, sit ups, chin ups, and judo moves that he was taught in the military. Wearing a black tank top and sweat pants; his muscles look so leaned, he looked so fit. Once he was done; he panted and panted. "So, Kin-chan....How's life been treating you?" Sayohime's voice called out. Kintaro turned around to see her there, "How long have you've been there?" He asked, in between gasps. Sayohime shrugged, "A while. Care to join me?" She replied. One minute later; they were at a bar where Sayohime offered him a deal. "You want me to fight a bunch of other fighters to get to the top?" asked Kintaro, "Sounds murderous." Sayohime shook her head, "It's not, I'll throw in a wager of yen. Hundred grand." She promised. That didn't convince him, "OK, what's in for me?" asked Kintaro, sipping his drink. Sayohime glanced at him, "I found the assholes who forced you to kill your cousin." She answered, "What do you think I was doing? Killing people? No, I wanted to help you out." She explained. Kintaro glanced at her, then bowed his head but raised it up slightly in order for Sayohime see his wicked, unhinged leer. "I'll do it." Kintaro said. Sayohime smiled in satisfactory, "Knew you would." She said. And they toast each other, Kintaro was going to get his revenge. Oinari was on a mission to watch for someone who is going to murder a seemingly happy couple of the Asamas of Gandhara suburbia. But he noticed this girl who intrigued him, Konohana Sakuya was her name. She looked pretty, like a blossom. As they are about to leave; Oinari and Kincho stopped where they could see orange petals in the air and a light from the sun rays. Kincho stopped and sniffed the air, "Sayuri, or should I say 'orange lily'. An orange lily means 'hatred, revenge'." He said, "I supposed that suits you doesn't it--Hangaku Itagaki!!!" He came face to face with a tall young lady who was older than she looked. People believed she was 15 but she was 20 years of age. Despite of her age, she was young. She used one of her knives and almost hit Kincho, but he dodged it. "Shit! Gotten better haven't you Lady Hangaku?" Kincho called out. Hangaku coiled around Kincho like she was a snake, "I learned from the best, you've improved in ninjutsu, Kin-san." She said. Kincho turned his head, "That's Kin-chan to you, you may be a ronin and a kunochi but you better keep your promise of protecting the Moon Princess." He said. Hangaku thought for a moment, "Oh? Moon Princess Kaguya Okina, I swear didn't I?" She said. Kincho knew something was up, "So, why are you here?" He asked. Hangaku looked over to see Oinari and went behind him but she let her fingers traced on the upper part of his back while she said, "I came to see my Tobi boy, he's bloomed so much." Kincho spoke out, "Down girl." He said. Hangaku glared at him, "Oh don't 'down girl' me." She said. 

Konohana Sakuya is an 18 year old young lady with medium-length mahogany red hair and gold hazel eyes. She was slender, beautiful, and has freckles slightly on the bridge of her nose. Konohana was a naive, bubbly young lady but she begins to discover her powers of controlling flowers, reading people's mind--even communication telepathically, psychokinesis, and empathy. The breeze felt nice as Konohana closed her eyes to feel it brushed against her. "Having fun?" Oinari asked. Konohana turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look,  I want to make you my project." Oinari said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Oinari, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Oinari looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Konohana smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Oinari smirked back, "Me?" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Konohana couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even!" Konohana prompted. Even if she finds him weird, she has a feeling that this boy is going to change her life for the better. However, Konohana was asleep one night until she felt someone beside her and saw Oinari! There, Konohana became closer to this mysterious boy but she is stunt to discover Oinari is a ninja as he asked her to come with him. Konohana is lost for words as she accepts. Just then, they both heard a gunshot--twice. Scared; Konohana and Oinari crept downstairs to find out what that sound was until they discover the corpses of Oyamatsumi and Ohirume. Konohana is shocked but she's relieved as she decides to go with Oinari, where he introduces her to Kincho and Takumi. Takumi welcomes her however Kincho is too hostile towards her but Oinari assures her that he is not good with people. 

How can this be? Who are these people? What's going on? How did they get here in the first place? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we? 

Earlier before.....

In Amano Iwato; 14 year old Momotaro Sakata was released from the police jail for reckless endangerment after his older brother, militant 19 year old Kintaro Sakata paid for his bail. Momotaro has light brown hair with sight sided hairstyle and Kintaro has black hair with his sides and back trimmed shorter and of a dark blue hue. Kintaro was going to war tomorrow, so Momotaro and his parents, Sarutahiko and Uzume, are having a dinner with him before he goes. Later; Kintaro's 18 year old girlfriend, Sayohime Matsura, came to see him in his room. Sayohime has long length dark brown hair, medium purple eyes, and a slender build. She wished he didn't go to war but Kintaro has to. He couldn't abandoned the task he was given, Sayohime expressed her sadness of missing him. Then, Kintaro cupped her face and pulled her close. Their eyes locked onto one another's, "You remember what I promised you? I swear to protect you, Sayo. That's my assignment." He said. Sayohime nodded, "OK." She said. Kintaro and Sayohime embraced each other, it was warm and strong. "I'll come back soon." Kintaro whispered. "You better, don't die on me my love. If you do, I'll kick your ass." Sayohime muttered in his ear, the two of them laugh. The next day; Kintaro left as Sayohime watched him go. She sighed, wondering if he'll be OK. In the meantime; Kintaro and his cousin, as well as big brother type friend, Shippeitaro Sakata, were ambushed by the enemy as their helicopter was shot in the sky. Back with Sayohime and the Sakata family, they had been told that Shippeitaro and Kintaro are dead. This broke Sayohime's heart as well as the rest of the family members; Sayohime became close to Momotaro where she flirted with him and attempted to kiss him but recoiled in horror. So, the two decided to stick to being just friends. Meanwhile; Kintaro and his cousin had survived from the crash as they are kidnapped by unknown members. Kintaro was forced to do a task, one of the members threw Shippeitaro on the ground. 

Then, the leader--who had a mask on--forced Kintaro to kill Shippeitaro. Kintaro was hesitant however all the rambling of incoherrent shouting tensed the soldier however Kin could hear his cousin say to him, "Kin, it's OK. I forgive you." In his panic; Kintaro let out a scream and killed him. Horrified; Kintaro managed to escape and got away from the enemy as he found a medical center where he begged to speak to his girlfriend and his family. Hearing about Kintaro being alive; Sarutahiko, Uzume, Momotaro, and Sayohime were overjoyed by this as Kintaro returns to them. But while happy to have Kin home; they noticed something was different about him. Kintaro had mental breakdowns, nights where he woke up screaming in utter terror, and try to attempt to take his own life which resulted him being hospitalized. Just then, Kintaro makes an emotional confession about how he was forced by the enemy captives to kill his cousin and Kin got therapy. One day; Kintaro's trauma was induced by powers of superhuman agility and enhanced fighting ability. He finds a sword and a message from the sun goddess, Kintaro learns that he required the sword known as Kusanagi. With ths power; he could do anything and slay the monsters known as Wendigos. These Wendigos are hollowed eyed, eereily pale, and have blood stained sharp teeth. Momotaro learned about Kintaro fighting the Wendigos while he kept it a secret from their parents. But even more shocking, there was a woman Kintaro and Momotaro discovered murdering a Mafia boss. That woman was Sayohime Matsura, who is an assassin. Although shocked over what happened; Kintaro continues to love Sayohime as she was. Along the way; Kintaro comes across a boy his age who is half human-half Wendigo hybrid. His name was Tsuna Watanabe as Kintaro helps him out and the two became fast but closed best friends all because of Kin's kindness. There, the three boys were lead by Sayohime who introduced them to her leader and boss, Tsunade Kodoku. Tsuanade was in the middle of teaching students but she was surprised to see Kintaro with the sword, Kusanagi. 

Meanwhile in the city of Ashihara Nakatsukuni, it was quiet--Too quiet. There seemed to be disaster in the metropolios. It wasn't the cause of tsunami, that's for sure and it wasn't a storm either. Buildings were almost a wreck, smoke everywhere, people screaming, some were crying, it was horrendous. What kind of person would do such a thing? Feet running against the street, two feet with sneakers, and he ran inside of his house. Packing his bad in a rush. Panting, gasping, and mutters incoherently to himself. "Where did we go wrong? We were trying to make fireworks! We weren't trying to hurt anybody." The guy said to himself. His name is Nezumi Kozo, he was a geek...OK, not really. He wasn't dorky either but he had an air of geek. However he was pretty antisocial. Once he got his things together in a bag; he rushed out the door and into his car. He drove away where he got his friends: Zennyo Ryuo, Yamato Takeru, and Hidari Jingoro. As they were driving; Zennyo kept muttering to himself over and over again, "No. How can this be happening? It can't be, it was supposed to be a safe, fun time!" Nezumi glares over at Yamato, "This all your fault, man!" He said. Yamato looked at him in disbelief, "My fault?" He said, "Oh sure, blame me that I wasn't aware the fireworks had dynamite in it." Nezumi looked nervous, "Yeah, well....I didn't see you stop me Yama. You knew this'll turn into a disaster." He remarked. "Where did we go wrong? What are we gonna do guys?" Hidari moaned. "Panicking isn't going to help, we just gotta get out of town and find a good hiding spot." Zennyo spoke up. And they did. The four friends would always hang out at the Shinto Shrine. Once saying their prayers; they discussed over what happened. They knew they couldn't go back where Nezumi, Zennyo, Yamato, and Hidari could not go back home since their family life was dysfunctional, abusive, and neglective. They had to find out what went wrong. However they heard a woman's voice: "Sounds like you guys need some help." 

The four friends turned around to see a tall woman with her lavender hair is very long, going down to the base of her spine, and done up in a huge ponytail. Two strands of hair that stick up from the top of the head and curve forward like antennae. She wore ivory white kimono with a black belt tied around her waist. "Who are you?" asked Zennyo. "My name is Tsunade Kodoku, and I am here to change your life. To clear your names." Tsunade said. Nezumi and his friends told the mysterious woman about how they were working on the fireworks with their friends, Hodari and Hoori Mikoto. But Tsunade was getting suspicious as she decided to recruit the four, which they accepted gratefully. In the light of the moon; Sayohime was in a white kimono, she had her kitana its sheath tied near her hip and wore tabi socks and wooden geta shoes on her feet. Her hair in a high bun, a stoic look upon her beautiful face, and was standing on the roof of the highest buildng. "A new moon, fresh for the striking kill." said Sayohime. Then, Sayohime jumps from the roof and glided into the night. Today, her assignment is to murder Silver Branch agent: Cassandra Endymion! Unknown to her; Sayohime will discover the secret truth of Cassandra!  At Silver Branch, an agent comes in. "Miss Endymion, someone wants to see you." The agent said. Curious; Cassandra left the room and came to see someone in a plaid buttoned down shirt with color dyed jeans and a wristband around her left wrist. "Um, can I help you?" asked Cassandra. Sayohime looked at her, "Are you Cassandra Endymion?" She asked. Cassandra nodded, "Yes." She said. Sayohime beckoned her, "Come with me, let's talk somewhere more private." replied Sayohime. Cassandra shrugged, "OK." She said. Cassandra followed her, however Pintosmalto watched them go as he sensed something was wrong with Sayohime. As they were walking; Sayohime pulled out her gun and pulled the trigger on Cassandra. Sayohime smirks at her smugly however her smile faded as she noticed Cassandra wasn't falling and to her shock; the bullet that hit her suddenly popped out. Sayohime couldn't believe it, "What--? THAT SHOULD'VE KILLED YOU!!!" She exclaimed. Cassandra gave the girl a small smile, "Sorry, bullets don't do anything." She said bluntly. Sayohime grunted, she was about to pull her sword out but Cass spoke out again: "You can try to slice me but that won't do anything as well. It's the same result as the bullets." Sayohime noticed that Cassandra's wound had already healed, this shocked her completely. "What is that?" asked Sayohime. 

Cassandra shuffled her feet and rolled her head back before smiling, "Simple, I'm bulletproof. Titanium. Stone hard. Impassable. Imprevious." She answered. Sayohime was interested, "I see." She said. Cassandra looked at her, "Who are you?" She asked. "You wanna know? I'll tell you, my name is Sayohime Matsura and I'm an Oban Assassin." replied Sayohime. After her mission of aiding Cassandra and not killing her; Sayohime was alone as she couldn't help but wonder about one thing, why did she saved that girl? What was she anyway? And what she said about protecting someone? It didn't make any sense. While in training; Kintaro was doing crunches, pushups, punching the bag, sit ups, chin ups, and judo moves that he was taught in the military. Wearing a black tank top and sweat pants; his muscles look so leaned, he looked so fit. Once he was done; he panted and panted as he thought of the memory of his cousin: Him smiling at Kin while he said, "Kin, it's OK. I forgive you." This bothers Kintaro so much, "Why Shippeti? Why do you forgive me?" He thought. "So, Kin-chan....How's life been treating you?" Sayohime's voice called out. Kintaro turned around to see her there, "How long have you've been there?" He asked, in between gasps. Sayohime shrugged, "A while. Care to join me?" She replied. One minute later; they were at a bar where Sayohime offered him a deal. "You want me to fight a bunch of other fighters to get to the top?" asked Kintaro, "Sounds murderous." Sayohime shook her head, "It's not, I'll throw in a wager of yen. Hundred grand." She promised. That didn't convince him, "OK, what's in for me?" asked Kintaro, sipping his drink. Sayohime glanced at him, "I found the assholes who forced you to kill your cousin." She answered. Kintaro almost choked on his drink, "Y--you--what?" He coughed out. Sayohime shrugged, "What do you think I was doing? Killing people? No, I wanted to help you out." She explained. Kintaro glanced at her, "How, I mean...?" He stammered. A smug smirk appeared on Matsura's face, "I have my sources, my ways that is." She said. Shocked by this, Kintaro bowed his head but raised it up slightly in order for Sayohime see his wicked, unhinged leer. 

"I'll do it." Kintaro said. Sayohime smiled in satisfactory, "Knew you would." She said. And they toast each other, Kintaro was going to get his revenge. In the suburbia of Gandhara for the time being; there was a family of three. Oyamatsumi Asama despises his job and quits while his wife, Ohirume, is an aspiring yet worldly woman. They are trying to make lots of money to get rid of their foster daughter, Konohana Sakuya. Konohana is an 18 year old young lady with medium-length mahogany red hair and gold hazel eyes. She was slender, beautiful, and has freckles slightly on the bridge of her nose. Konohana was a naive, bubbly young lady but she begins to discover her powers of controlling flowers, reading people's mind--even communication telepathically, psychokinesis, and empathy. While looking out the window; Konohana notices someone is video-taping her. She realized it's some guy and she feels creeped out. She went away from the window, wondering what the heck was going on with this guy. The guy video-taping was Oinari Narukami, a tall but muscular young man who was a survivor of the squad, Dragon Sons. His captain, Asano Takumi, and Oinari's friend and rival, Kincho Oishi. In metropolios of Svarga; Captain Takumi and Kincho were faced to face with a criminal who was holding a woman hostage. But Oinari saved the woman while Takumi and Kincho took down the criminal with ninjutsu. Once saving the woman and taking down the criminal; Captain Takumi went away to take care of something important. Captain Asano Takumi has black hair fitted with constant, short pointy spikes already built from short hair itself. At the base of his hairline, he allows a few strands to hang just above his forehead. Asano's attire is a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and boots. His trusted lieutenants are Oinari Narukami and Kincho Oishi: Oinari Narukami is a handsome reddish-white skinned boy with a tall and lean frame. Oinari has clean-cut but scruffy-looking dark brown hair. He is very masculinely shaped with a v-shaped torso, broad shoulders, and clearly defined muscles. On the other hand; Kincho Oishi has light blond hair cut at the bottom, brown skin, piercing gray eyes, high cheek bones, and a lean build. He wore a a skin-tight, full-body, red-and-blue suit with combat boots. 

Oinari was on a mission to watch for someone who is going to murder a seemingly happy couple of the Asamas of Gandhara suburbia. But he noticed this girl who intrigued him, Konohana Sakuya was her name. She looked pretty, like a blossom. As they are about to leave; Oinari and Kincho stopped where they could see orange petals in the air and a light from the sun rays. Kincho stopped and sniffed the air, "Sayuri, or should I say 'orange lily'. An orange lily means 'hatred, revenge'." He said, "I supposed that suits you doesn't it--Hangaku Itagaki!!!" He came face to face with a tall young lady who was older than she looked. People believed she was 15 but she was 20 years of age. Despite of her age, she was young. She used one of her knives and almost hit Kincho, but he dodged it. "Shit! Gotten better haven't you Lady Hangaku?" Kincho called out. Hangaku coiled around Kincho like she was a snake, "I learned from the best, you've improved in ninjutsu, Kin-san." She said. Kincho turned his head, "That's Kin-chan to you, you may be a ronin and a kunochi but you better keep your promise of protecting the Moon Princess." He said. Hangaku thought for a moment, "Oh? Moon Princess Kaguya Okina, I swear didn't I?" She said. Kincho knew something was up, "So, why are you here?" He asked. Hangaku looked over to see Oinari and went behind him but she let her fingers traced on the upper part of his back while she said, "I came to see my Tobi boy, he's bloomed so much." Kincho spoke out, "Down girl." He said. Hangaku glared at him, "Oh don't 'down girl' me." She said. "Watch it, don't forget what we've been through." reminded Kincho. In a flashback; back in the day, Asano is seen in a black haori. The haori sleeves were trimmed with white stripes, resulting in a very distinctive uniform, quite unlike the usual browns, blacks, and greys found in warrior clothing. Kincho wore the same thing but wore a dark grey as well as Oinari who wore a dark blue. 

They were sailing on a boat but the whole crew was under attack by a bunch of enthralling but deadly ningyos, who had butchered the remains of Dragon Sons: Hotei, Jurojin, Zojo, Fukurokuju, Bishamon, Daikokuten, Ebisu, Kichoten, Benzaiten, Tamon, Jikoku, and Komoku. Only three survivors remained--Asano Takumi, Oinari Narukami, and Kincho Oishi. In the present, it was a painful memory to remember. "I know, I'm sorry....I wish I could save them all...If I was there." said Hangaku sadly. Kincho rolled his eyes, annoyed, "Shut up." He muttered. Oinari elbowed him, "Thanks for you consideration, Hangaku." replied Oinari. Hangaku smiled in a sexy manner, "Anytime, Tobi." She purred and sauntered away. The next day after school, Konohana was by the creek and heard the music box of a familiar tune as she glanced over to see Oinari holding it. "You like it?" asked Oinari, he then closed the music box. Konohana looked away, "Um, just thought the song was beautiful. That's all." She claimed. "Me too, I think the song is wonderful." agreed Oinari. "Yeah, sure." Konohana replied, looking annoyed. Oinari noticed her attitude, "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Konohana glanced at him, "Why were you filming me?" She demanded. Oinari realized what he did yesterday, "Uh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not an obsessing stalker." He explained. Konohana didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just curious." Oinari remarked. Konohana is amazed by this boy and becomes more curious. She somehow becomes smitten with this boy. The golden afternoon where the breeze felt nice as Konohana closed her eyes to feel it brushed against her. 

"Having fun?" Oinari asked. Konohana turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look,  I want to make you my project." Oinari said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Oinari, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Oinari looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Konohana smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Oinari smirked back, "Me?" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Konohana couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even!" Konohana prompted. Even if she finds him weird, she has a feeling that this boy is going to change her life for the better. However, Konohana was asleep one night until she felt someone beside her and saw Oinari! There, Konohana became closer to this mysterious boy but she is stunt to discover Oinari is a ninja as he asked her to come with him. Konohana is lost for words as she accepts. Just then, they both heard a gunshot--twice. Scared; Konohana and Oinari crept downstairs to find out what that sound was until they discover the corpses of Oyamatsumi and Ohirume. Konohana is shocked but she's relieved as she decides to go with Oinari, where he introduces her to Kincho and Takumi. Takumi welcomes her however Kincho is too hostile towards her but Oinari assures her that he is not good with people. 


Alone; Kintaro's voice said, "Wishing in the dark is like shooting a gun in the dark when they are angry or sad, therefore usually regretting afterwards. You never know when you’re going to hit exactly what you’re aiming for. The wishes in the dark are dreams of being teared apart. The key to success is obsessing over the fractions that make up the whole. If you’re not doing that, you can never, ever get on this level. Now that we look back at what we were and what they were, its only right to bring back their impact. And what we've have done in the past...I  want to forget the past and move forward with my life. For the most part, a lot of legends start from humble beginnings. People tend to forget that. Many people are beautiful folks that bloom in the spring, but quickly fade over time....Not me, I am not fading away. I am going to hit high." There was Kintaro wielding his sword and he wears a loose red tank shirt and has tan pants that cut off just below the knee. He wears black boots. He prepares to win back his pride. His dignity, he may carry a burden but someone else needs to feel what he feels.
