Samurai's Of The Moon

Chapter 1 - The Samurai In Black

I never Believed In Demons Or Ghosts . I Never Did Even Once . Not Even All The Legends that Everyone Says About Yatsu Village. My Name Is Natsune Yukio . I'm 18 years Old This Year and Live with My Grandpa . I Just want a peaceful Life With My Grandpa . All The Chattering About Ghosts Always Made my Head Ache . Until I Became a Target ..

    I Was cleaning The kitchen Until Grandpa Yelled Out At Me . " Yukio ! Go Buy some Fresh Rice from The Market !" Yelled Grandpa . "Haiii!(Yes)" I Yelled . I stood Up and Grabbed my Basket . While walking I Counted Up the Coins I Had . " 1..2...3..5..8..10!" I counted . Just Then I tripped and dropped my Coins.  Someone had Stepped On My Kimono . "My My ! Isn't it Yukio ? What a Coincidence ! " Yelled Mitsuki . She was Known For her rich Beauty and pleasant Manners . Everyone Was Jealous Of Her Silky Blonde Hair And Expensive Garments she always Wore on her kimono . But No one knew the real Her . "Eh ? What's This ?" she said Picking Up My Coins. "It Seems Your Going shopping ! I never thought that someone like You could Be So Poor !" She Laughed . I Stood Up and Took my Coins From Her Hands.  "What are you Doing This time of Day ? I always Thought You were afraid to Blacken Your Skin with the Sun's Rays" I Said Trying to Beat her in Her words . "H-HEY!" She Yelled . She started to feel her face . "You should Be Carefull My lady . Oh ! I think i already see flakes ! " i gasped sarcasticly . I Casually Walked Passed Her and made my way into the markets .

     I walked Up to a Stand And Asked for Rice . "15 yen " Said The Owner . "Eh ?! 15 ?! " I gasped . "Make It 10 please , that's all I have !" I yelled . "No Money ? No Rice " He Said.  Suddenly an Arm Appeared Beside me Giving The Man Money . "Here , Take This And Give Her the rice" Said a Man's Voice . His Red Eyes Gleamed and White hair shone in the light . He wore a Black Robe and Had Two Men Behind Him . The Owner Handed me A Bag full Of Rice . "Um .. I - I Can't accept This" I said . The Man leaned in and Held Me By The Chin . The Moment He Touched me , A Chill Ran Down My Spine ."Take it as a gift . What Is Your Name ? " He Asked . "N-Natsune Yukio " I Said . He Licked His Lips . "Yukio ? What a Beautiful Name " He Said . He Grinned in a Somewhat Evil Way . "I'm Fusaki Kuro , Call me Kuro " He Said . "H-hai , K-kuro Sama " I Said Nervously . "Sama ? " He Laughed . He Touched My Hair And Gently Stroke My Cheeks . "U-um ! I Have to Go !" I Yelled . I speed walked away not even looking Back . "What a Creep" I Thought .

     I Kept On Walking And Talking to Myself . " How disrespectful He Was ! Touching me like that ! How could he do something like that to a lady he had just met ?!" I though to myself . I Was starting to Get dark . When I realized it , I Was in a Forest . "Don't tell me I'm Lost !" I said  to myself . I started to Feel goosebumps all over my body . Then I heard a Noise . "Who was that ?!" I Yelled out . No one answered. I kept on walking.  I Heard the noise again . "Crack !" it Went . "There's No one there , There's No one there , There's no one there" I repeated to myself . Suddenly a Black Figure Appeared Before me . "W-WHO ARE YOU?!" I Yelled . The Figure slowly Started to Turn towards Me. Then I saw its face . "Please .... feed me ..... PLEASEEEEE. ..." It Said . I Screamed . I started to Run but it felt like I was going no where . Just Then , I Saw a quick Shadow That Ran past me . It was a Man . He Jumped up and took out his sword . "Stay Back !" he Said . "Eh ? Could he Be those so Called Samurai's Of The Moon ?" I thought . He Slashedml the Figure In Half and it disappeared . He Then Turned Towards Me . His Black hair was tied in a Pony tail and He Wore a Black and Gray Vest . Something Only People In The Palace Would Wear . He Had a Katana Equipped Onto him and his Black Eyes Shimmered . "Are You Okay?" He asked me .
