Raze's Story began here when he was 16, able to hold a sword and take his rightful place of Lord of Clan Kirashima,His father Hirito Kirashima was fighting a losing war and for him to get on the winning side His Clan needed Allies,The Oda Clan,The Hojo Clan, The Takeda Clan were all powerful Clans, there were others who were Powerful Clans but the main Clan, The Saito Clan was fighting the Kirashima Clan, 10 long years of Bloody, depriving, Horrible death the years flew by like the petals on a cherry blossom flew off their branches.

-April 25th-

Bodies of the Kirashima and Saito Clan lay dead on the battle field, The battle continued 6, 580 troops lay dead on the battlefield. "Lord Kirashima We can't keep fighting like this we already lost a whole battalion of if we keep fighting we are gonna lose all our me!!" He had to decide, Lose a Bridge with a Village connected to retreat, or lose Two battalions of 5, 000 troops in each. Finally he decided "Signal the retreat!" The drums were heard as the remaining troops retreated over the bridge, having lost the battle the men still had morale. At home the young boy, Raze was practicing with his dual katanas, striking quickly and slashing with speed and force. A Maid came over and offered Raze a refreshment, accepting the refreshment he smiled and took a few sips as the maid watched me train, a few seconds after she interrupted and said "I'm sorry young prince for interrupting but why aren't you a Samurai yet, helping your father in the war, with your skill you can take out at least hundreds by yourself" he knew she was right but he simply smiled and looked at her and said "my Father cares so much for me that he wants me to stay out the fighting, he doesn't want the next in line for Lord of Clan Kirashima to die" he said, smiling and goes back to training as she nodded to herself, looked up and at him and smiles "Well alright ill get you a bath ready for when you're done Young Prince" he nodded as he kept practicing and training his twin killing technique was almost perfected the only thing he needed help on was his counters, turning to the Swords Master of the Clan, Hiroshima Kirashima, he walked over and asked him "Sword Master... how can i perfect my counters I'm trying to master my Twin Killing Technique and i need to master Counters to Master my Technique" the middle aged man stood there, stroking his beard as he sat there and hummed then turned and looked up at Raze "Well Young prince.. ill teach you how" as the Sword Master got up and pats Raze's Back softly "Lets go" Raze's eyes lighted up in excitement as he followed the Sword Master And started practicing.

-Two Days later April 27th-

The Young Prince had finally mastered his Twin Killing Technique,as he was walking to his chambers Two Samurai from Hirito's Royal Vanguard was in the throne room, kneeled down and talking to the Lady of Kirashima Mika Kirashima as her eyes filled with tears, wiping them with her sleeve as Raze entered and saw what was going on walking to his mother he looked at her and spoke "Mother is everything alright, Is Father ok?" She was silent as he sat there with her head down "..... Did something happe-" before he could finish his mother spoke "Your father lost the bridge and an army of 10, 000 has him trapped and only him and 6, 580 troops are on the other side with a village full of Citizens... what are we Gonna do?..." she was in distress and Raze knew as he looked down and thought to himself "Father had left the Royal Myrmidons behind right mother?" She nodded and looked at her "How many do we have?"one of the Samurai stood up and looked "Only 2,000 young prince but it still won't be enough an army of 10,000 strong well rested troops are what we are dealing wi-" Raze interrupted the Samurai "Each Myrmidon can take out 40 men each have blooded and killed we have to go help my Father..." he turned to the Samurai and looked at him, the Samurai lost of words, bowed and headed out "Mother ill go help Father ill bring the Myrmidons to Aid fathers assault.." She smiled with joy, pulled her son close and kissed him on the forehead "Bring Your Father home... make him and the Clan proud" those were the last words he remembered from her as he was 40 miles from his fathers location with an army of Royal Myrmidons behind him and him matching with the Myrmidons their armor were black, their masks were black and their blades were black He held out a necklace and held it to his chest "Father... I'm coming... just hold on" As he said that the counterattacks from the Saito Clan were already away the bridge filled up with bodies as arrows Rain down on the soldiers. Will this be the end of Lord Kirashima, he doesn't even know his Son is coming to aid him
