It was late night at the Kurosawa Estate since they was throwing a party to welcome the coming end to the war but for some reason I feel like this night is the begin of something terrible, I was on the rooftop listening in on the party to make sure Lady Ruby is safe when I heard someone land behind me so I said "don't sneak up on me" I heard Kanan said "sorry but my master want to know what are you doing up here" I turn around to see Kanan Matsuura another shinobi that work very closely to Lady Mari, I look away and said "something is going to happen tonight, make sure you stay close to your master" she said "huh how do you know" I said "I just do" before I could go back to listening to the party I heard someone said "hey is the troops ready to storm the party" another person said "yes all I have to do is give the word and everyone in that party will be dead" the first person said "leave the Ohara and the Kurosawa alive, I have plans for them" I turn back to Kanan but she already disappear so I said "hmm I should stop that guy before he reach the other" I saw someone running from the party wearing a cloak so I went after that person before they could reach their destination. When the person took a turn into a alleyway I jump on the person and before I could kill them I heard them said "what going on" I turn the person over to see a girl with long black hair with a bun on the side then I said "what are you doing sneaking around" she said "someone told me to grab some more sake from the store house" I pick her up and said "but their was......." before I could finish I notice a light coming from behind me and when I turn around I saw the estate up in flames so I said "get out of here girl" I jump on the roof and started running toward the estate hoping my master wasn't harm, when I got there I saw a few soldiers in front of the building killing everyone trying to run out but I didn't see Ruby or Dia among them so I jump down killing two of the soldiers and injuring the last one then I said "better start talking before my hand slip" he said "don't kill me please I was just following orders" I grab him by his armor and said "where is the Kurosawa" he laugh and said "oh you want them, you're to late Lady Suiko had already taken the girls" I knock him out and said "I'm to late, I got to find where they are before leave the area" I jump back onto the roof and heard a familiar whistle coming from the garden so I headed over there to find my master Ruby with her sister, Lady Mari, and Mari's shinobi Kanan about to be taken off somewhere so I hope down and said "sorry my master" Ruby said "I told you he'll come to save me" a woman walk up and said "well then I guess I'll have my samurai deal with this shinobi" she snap her finger and I saw a guy walking pass the girls and said "hmm I never killed a shinobi before, I hope you put up a good fight" I look around and notice their wasn't anything to hide behind so this was going to be a straight fight, I pulled out my sword at the same time he did and said "I'll be taking my master back" he rush me and said "over my dead body" when he swing his sword my way I block it with mind and he said "hmm no one ever block my attack, I think I'm starting to like you" I reach into my pouch but before I could pull anything out he kick me in the chest knocking me back and said "ha so a shinobi must use their tools to win a fight......" I use our distance to close in and before he could block my hit I slice him in the chest knocking him down to his knees and I said "now I'll be taking my......." I heard something flying at me and when I block it I saw the guy get up and cut my arm off then stab his sword into my chest and he said "you'll be taking nothing now" he pulled his sword out and I fell to the ground bleeding heavily and eventally passing out. After a certain amount of time had pass I woke up in a bed in some kind of inn and when I look around I saw a girl from before and another with long red hair looking at me so I said "where am I and who are you" the girl with red hair said "shouldn't you be thanking us" I look down at my wound on my chest to see had healed but when I look at my left arm I notice I had a prosthetic so I said "what is this" the girl with dark hair said "oh that's was made by us we call it a shinobi prosthetic" I said "thank you but I still don't know you're name" the girl with red hair said "I'm Riko Sakurauchi and this is Yoshiko Tsushima" I bow and said "sorry about before, so may I ask where are we" I heard another girl said "you're at my inn" I look over by the door to see a girl with shot orange hair so I said "your inn and you are" she smile and said "I'm Chika Takami" I said "and are you the one who drag me here" I heard another girl said "nope that was me, I found you in the garden after those people left" I saw a girl with short brown hair walking into the room and she said "you may call me You Watanabe" I stand up and said "I got to save my master" Riko said "hey calm down, do you even know where they gone" I look away and Yoshiko sigh then said "well I guess we can ask Hanamaru for help" I said "to many girls" Chika said "what was that" I cought and notice that I didn't have my sword so I said "hey where my sword" You said "oh after that guy stab you, he took the blade off your body and left" I said "I can't fight without a weapon" Riko said "well you can rest up for today and later we can head out to Hanamaru to ask her where those people took them and  then before you sat out we're set you with some gear" I nod and said "alright that fine" I sat back down and begin resting up for my journey ahead.
