After we left the tunnel behind we headed for the border where Lord Zhao is holding Lady Mari with The Sword and The Shield who guard the border against the minsters, when we got right outside the border I said "alright I want you to drag me in there and trade me for Lady Mari" Kanan said "would that really work" I said "of course it will" Riko said "how can you be so sure" I gave my sword to Hanamaru and said "here I don't want to lose this sword so hang on to this for me" she took it and said "alright, so what are we going to do" I said "you can join Kanan when she trade me in or you can wait for us here" Chika said "alright then let go" You said "we're save her no matter what" I shake my head and said "alright Kanan I need you to stab me so we can make it seen like you best me in a fight" she said "I can't do that" I grab her hands and said "listen to me, we made a vow to always protect our master no matter the cost" she said "yea but...." I let go and took off the prosthetic then said "here Yoshiko hold my arm" Yoshiko said "alright sure" I said "alright let go Kanan" she nod and we walk toward the border. When we got inside I saw Lord Zhao with both his guard and Lady Mari standing next to him then I heard him said "ah Kanan you maintain to defeat Ruby's shinobi, hmm you're not much to look at" I spit and said "how about coming down here and fight me fair" he laugh and said "fight you, yea I really don't want to fight a man with one arm" Sword said "hey my lord aloud us to fight him" he said "huh why" Shield took a knee and said "he's our student and if you're planning to have him killed so allow us to finish him off" he nod and said "alright this would be fun to watch" I said "hey how about a wager if I win then you'll release Lady Mari into my care" he said "what do I get if I lose" I walk over to Yoshiko and said "I'll let you in on a secret" he laugh and said "you'll be dead if you lose" I took my prosthetic arm back and said "I'll give you hint, my arm was cut off but Lord Genichiro and he shove a sword through my chest" I heard him stand up and said "wait then how are you alive" Hanamaru toss me my sword and when I caught it I said "fight me and figure that out" he said "Sword, Shield, get in there and finish off your student" they both nod and Sword said "sorry young wolf but this will be end for you" I unsheathe my blade and said "I hoping this wouldn't turn out this way" Kanan said "allow me to....." I said "no stay behind me" she said "no I won't, Lady Mari had been very kind to me ever since I became her shinobi so I'm fighting with you" Shield said "hmm so Lady Butterfly's student I hate to kill this one but it can't be help" she pulled out her sword and said "I won't fall easy" I said "alright listen Kanan these two never lost a battle in thirty years so if we're going to win we got to play our cards right" she said "what do you suggest" I said "hey You can you make some rice ball" she turn her head and said "sure but why, would that really help" I said "I told you girls once that I won't interfere with the war" Chika said "oh I think I know what you're doing" I turn back to Sword and Shield then said "Kanan distract the Shield while I go after the Sword" she nod and at the same time we rush our targets clashing blades with them. While fighting I already know this is a losing fight and when I look over at Kanan she was slicing away at the shield without him moving then I heard Sword said "don't look away" I turn back to see about to him me when I move the prosthetic arm to block the sword hit and when it bounce off I grab his chest and sling him on the ground then move my blade to his neck and I said "alright I think that a win" he said "it's not a win till you finish off your enemy" I said "if I do that then the minsters could easily invade this land" he stop and said "Shield, hold on a minute" Shield stop and said "I was listen but our order was to kill him but I have a feeling this would be a losing fight" Sword said "let me ask you young wolf, which lord do you serve" I said "I made a vow to protect my lord Lady Ruby Kurosawa no matter what" he said "alright and what are you doing here then instead of with your lord" I said "I'm doing all I can to save her and by doing that I need Lady Mari to come with us" Lord Zhao said "what the meaning of this, quit talking and finish them off" I heard You said "hey Taylor those rice balls are finish" I got off of Sword and said "alright I'll make you a deal give us the Mari and I'll let you have these sweet sticky rice ball" Shield said "wait really" I nod and said "yea it's all your" Sword said "hmm you must have your reason to release me when you could've killed me, alright Lord Zhao we lost release Lady Mari into this young wolf care" he pull out his sword and said "no I will not be giving up my wife" Shield said "you must honor the deal you made" he pointed his sword at Mari and said "how about I'll take her......." I threw a shuriken at Lord Zhao's sword forcing him to drop it and when Mari back up I walk over to him then said "either honor this deal or I'll take your life" he said "but you need me to hold......" I pointed my sword at him and said "you're nothing but a person who bark orders, I only need Sword and Shield to hold the wall" he fell back into his chair and said "just take her and get out" I sheath my blade and said "thank you for holding up to your end of our deal" I walk over to Lady Mari then knee down and said "are you harm in anyway my lady" she shake her head and said "no I'm fine" I heard Lord Zhao said "hey are you till alive, are you a demon" I raise up and said "I'll tell if you tell me something" he nod and I said "I heard Lady Ruby is a traitor to her family and the Ohara" Mari said "really I haven't heard about that" Lord Zhao said "of course you haven't I kept that info from you, their a rumor going around that Ruby have dragon blood in her and with that blood she can make anyone immortal" I nod and Sword said "so with that ability her own family and the Ohara are trying to get rid of her before she could give it to someone else" I look down at my hand and said "alright, hey we're leaving" I was about to walk away when I heard Shield said "hey wolf I want to let you know, we won't be able to hold the border for much longer so once you find Lady Ruby and Lady Dia you should get out of this land" I nod and said "thanks for telling me" You handed them the rice ball and said "here these are for you, alright I'm....." Sword said "wait are you Lady Watanabe" I turn around and she said "huh oh no I'm just a small town girl" I walk toward her and Shield said "no you're her I know you are" I put my arms around You and said "you're wrong, she's just a small town girl, her name is You Takami" Chika said "yea she's my sister" he said "hmm sorry I thought you look like the lost princess" You smile and said "I get that a lot, it's alright" I said "alright let go" we left the border behind with Mari and Kanan. Once we was away from that place Mari said "thanks you for saving me" I took a knee and said "don't thank me, thank your shinobi" Kanan took a knee and said "I was worry about you My Lady" she said "both of you get up, their no need to take a knee in front of me" we got up and Riko said "so where is our next destination" I said "Lady Mari do you know where Lady Ruby or Dia is" she shake her head no and said "Ruby was taken by Genichiro and I don't remember where they are but Dia is with Lady Suiko at Senpou Temple search for the Divine Blade" Hanamaru said "what do they need the blade for" Yoshiko said "I heard that the blade can kill those who are immortal" Chika said "why would Dia be searching for the blade that could kill her sister" I said "Ruby is immortal but Dia isn't, so my guess she's being force into searching for the blade" Kanan said "should we split up" I said "that sound alright but if it's alright I want to go after Lady Ruby" You said "so how are we going to split up the group" Mari said "me, Kanan, and you two will join us to go save Dia while the rest of you will save Ruby" Hanamaru said "so me and Yoshiko are going with you two" she nod and said "yup that should be enough to save her" Riko said "so that leave me, Chika, You, and Sekiro to save Lady Ruby" I said "I'm alright with that but be careful who know how far Lady Suiko will go to get that blade" Kanan said "don't worry I'll protect them with my life" I said "alright but I wasn't worry cause I know you'll do whatever you can to protect them" after we finish talking about some thing they left and we headed to Ashina Castle to save my master Lady Ruby.
