A/N: I've decided to re-write this story--seeing as I can see a number of flaw on it. Hopefully, I continue to feel inspired in writing this one, considering I'm writing a number of stories in wattpad. I definitely don't want to leave this tale unfinished. Bare with me. thanks!

Young Miyuki swings her bamboo stick towards her sensei Satsuki The older female blocked her blow easily.

"Faster." Satsuki coached.

Miyuki swings again, this time in a different angle and faster speed but the her sensei blocked it with practised ease.

"You're holding back." Satsuki observed, gazing down at her young student.  15year old Miyuki swings again, now clearly frustrated by her lack of finesse, like her sensei had.

Sayuki blocked Miyuki's bamboo stick and tripped her student with her foot purposely in one swift motion, Miyuki falls, almost falling her face, but was save by Sayuki who pulls her backwards instead, causing her to fall on her butt.

"Whats wrong?" Satsuki asks, now concerned. Miyuki was one of her passionate students, whenever she comes to train, her head is always in the game. Miyuki remained silent but her body tensed, clear in Sayuki's eyes.

"You're all over the place. You're thinking too much, Miyuki." Satsuki chides, displeased with her student's lack of focus.

Miyuki looks up at her sensei's towering form compare to her small one. She is after all 6 years her senior, she at 15 and Satsuki 21years old--already the sensei of her Family Dojo.

"Father." She starts in whisper. "What about him?" Satsuki asks concerned, she has had the pleasure of meeting the prick a few times and every time she had had the urged to slit his throat. He was not a kind man, successful and rich, but a damn cactus.

"He wants me to enroll in Tayuya's." Miyuki explains. Satsuki's shoulders tensed visibly but relaxed altogether, showing no emotion. She turned to her other students, 5 of them--sending glares at Miyuki.
Satsuki sighed at the silent exchange of her students, this was not Miyuki's fault. Tayuya's is a dojo in the opposite side of town, it was her competition. It was modern and hers was old, and traditional. While they had the latest commodities...her Dojo was close to rundown. 
The floor squeaked, the roof at times leaked in the rainy seasons--and it had that aged smell on it.
Of course its old, her family had that Dojo for 5 Generations now.

Satsuki offered her hand to Miyuki. The young girl looks up at her uncertain, she takes it and her sensei helped her back on her feet.

"It is alright. I understand." Satsuki said, relief passed on Miyuki's youthful face, while tears brim in her eyes.

"But I don't want to go. I like it here. I'm learning so much!" Miyuki admitted. Satsuki smiled at her, but she had to let her student go.
Family is after all everything.
She knows that all too well.

"What must I do Satsuki-sensei!?" She asked, earning a sigh from Satsuki.

"I cannot tell you what to do. It is your life. Therefore, your choice." Satsuki advised.

"What are you all looking at!? Get back to work chipmunks!" Satsuki shouted in feign annoyance, causing each of her student to scamper back to their individual trainings.

That same night Satsuki felt odd at 3:45am. She cannot sleep. She wondered, what was that feeling bugging her, telling her something.

She released an exasperrated sigh in defeat. There's no problem a good hike cant fix, she tells herself.
Its been a while since she took a leisure walk out of the woods.
