I've been here for around two months. I've learned alot in this time...these Humans live such short lives but they still try to live as best as they can. The people are happy despite the losing war, the soldiers under my command respect me...Akali however...
Akali:get the fuck down!
Akaza:no...!
I was trying to sleep atop a tree but she found me.
Akali:my Father has called for us!
I sighed and jumped down.
Akaza:why?
Akali:the Shogun is preparing for another attack. We need to be ready
We started walking back to the town. We came in through the back entrance and walked to the main gate the was next to the sea.

It was thrown together just incase of an attack. It would not hold if they attacked in force.
Akaza:this looks...desperate
Akali:we are. This isn't to stop them it's to slow them down. We have traps set along the cliff face, mostly rocks held by rope
Akaza:how many will be attacking?
Akali:our Scouts say under five hundred
Akaza:how many do we have?
Akali:just over a hundred
Akaza:any reinforcements?
Akali:only five hundred or so defending the city, half of them will arrive soon
Akaza:if this is the only way in ti Ashina why not defend it with your full force?
Akali:there are multiple othe paths through the forest, just incase they attack from there
We heard matching coming from around the corner of the rocks.
Akali:their here
We went to the top of the wall.
Akali:General Tokita report

Tokita:my Lady, we are prepared to hold with our lives
Akali:good, be ready
Akaza:I am always prepared for combat
The other Samurai lined up with archers on the small wall while the rest formed up at the gate incase they got through.

Their army stopped just outside the gate. The ten archers aimed down.
Akali:General fire at will
Tokita:fire!
They started firing on the enemy, they started charging the gates trying to break it down.
Akaza:at this rate they'll break through. Keep firing I'll be back
Akali:where are you-
I jumped over the wall and drives my swords into two Samurai. The army in front and a few behind me. I pulled my swords out and stabbed two behind me, pulling them out and killing the rest behind me. The rest charged in but then the gates opened and Akali and the other Samurai came running out and helped me slaughter them. With me and Akali there five hundred was brought down to by half and they ran.
Akali:what was that!?
Akaza:my job
Akali:you cost us over half our men with that stunt!
Akaza:we won
Akali:no...we don't win in this war, we survive. Gather the dead! We're leaving...
Me and Akali left.
Akali:I don't want to have to sacrifice any of my people for you
Akaza:I can handle myself
Akali:yeah right...can I at least get a thank you for saving your ass?
Akaza:what is that a type of food? I would die for some good food
She turned around mad.
Akali:is your ego that fucking big?
Akaza:yeah sometimes...but seriously what the fuck is "thank you"?
Her face turned to confusion.
Akali:seriously? It's just a way to be polite, your parents didn't teach you any manners?
Akaza:there are gaps in my knowledge this is hardly news. And my parents taught me...other things
Akali:was it how to die fast?
Akaza:shut up
Out stomachs growled.
Akali:alright come on. Let's go eat
After a short walk back. Akali lead me to this place where they served food to people. She orderd tend bowls of a thing called Ramen noodles.
Akaza:I'll have what she's having
I was given the same.
Akali:sure you can handle that?
Akaza:please...
I was about to dig in when.
Akali:where are your chop sticks?
Akaza:the fuck are those?
She gave me two sticks.
Akali:are you even from this country?
I didn't know what to say so I just shrugged.
Akali:you use them like this
She demonstrated.
Akaza:okay...
I done the same. We started eating and it kinda turned into a competition. We finished at the same time. Is she a normal human? No way a human can eat that much. She's...interesting.
