Chapter 3 - The Blacksmith

- Master blacksmith ?! A woman?!- Shin snapped back and Rui threw a hammer at him.

- Shut your traps! My whole family consisted of blacksmiths, including women.

- What kind of insane noble family is yours?

- It was one of my best friends.- An older, sweet voice came from behind them. Ko Zen immediately falls to the ground in front of the towering figure.

- Great General Mou Gou! - Shin says.

- Grandfather?- Mou Ten would turn toward him, but then he found himself facing Rui's chest, waving the old man direction with her hands.

- Hi Pops! How are you?- Rui laughed, and the old man greeted him with a slight facepalm.

- When my son said you were here, I thought he just kidding. Why are you here, my dear ?! It's too dangerous for you. - Rui just keeps snapping.

- Just as much as everyone else here. Anyway ... - She looks at Shin here - I got a job.

- What?

- I need to repair this guys sword before its broken. - She points to Shin. Mou Gou sighs heavily.

- Ten, talk with... - Here he saw that his older grandson was enjoying the position he was forced into. -... her head ...

- That's how I want to die... - Ten muttered in his "captured" state, and Rui pressed his head harder.

- Then die, you idiot! - she said jokingly.

- Is that ... you serious? - The a young commander asked, and Rui nodded.

- Anyway, I don't have much time or my stuff, but ... nothing its impossible.- Shee rose from Ten's lap and set off for Shin. A boy saw the determination in Rui's eyes and put the weapon in her hand.

- Please handle it with care.

- What? - She almost freaked out, and swung with the sword with slight anger- I am melting this cabbage in blink of eye! You even doesn't had time to ask "what happened with my sword?... But ... give me about three hours and I'll have it. - And she start to walk the nearest oven, which is inside of the nearest tent. The old general laughs and start to back to his whereabouts. Mou Ten makes ugly eyes to Shin.

- What is wrong with you? - the latter asked

- I think he is angry, because he got not more boobs-. Kyou Kai spoke unanimously, and Mou Ten nodded slightly embarrassed face. A few seconds after the guys noticed strong, strangely rhythmic beats from a tent. Not much later the third young commander, Ou Hon, tented the noise and looked questioningly at a small company gathered by the fire.

- Somebody explain why on earth, or who start to forging in the middle of the night? - he growls, Mou Ten waving with his hand in apology.

- Forgive me, unexpected things happened and ...

- And what is it?

- For Shin, his sword needed to be repaired. - says Kyou Kai from the corner of the tent. The commander let out a deep growl, scratched his head.

- As if it mattered ... I hope it don't last long.

- It'll be about three hours. - Mou Teb laughs and he stands up and starts back to the tent line.

- I recommend before i need to stop... personally.

- I dont think thats a good idea. - Leaning back Mou Ten, the heir of the Ou family turns halfway to him.

- Why is?

- Because as soon as you try to enter the tent, Rui-chan's first thing to do is throw something at you.

- Rui? Chan? - A young man looks questioningly, but without waiting for an answer, he goes back to his tent. He decides that enough of it is now the to further idiots and injuries.

Kyou Kai, meanwhile, had successfully cut a small niche in the side of the tent and watched Rui work. The assassin's eyes widened in surprise. It was as if there was a completely different personality inside of Rui. But she was. Instead of her former humorous, talkative (or even sad) face, she was now dead serious, and seemed to concentrate with every bit of her mind. Focused on the semi-melted (or colder, depends on the progress) weapon before her. The top of her dress was at her waist, she was wearing a bandage on her chest to keep her breasts covered, and the hair that had been lowered so far was carefully restrained in a short bun.

She hammered the brighty glowing iron with two hammers, which sounded like rocks rolling down a hillside, crushing everything in front of them. Kyou Kai kept an eye on the events until the very end, ignoring who was doing what she was doing now. When Rui finished and lifted the sword from the final chill, she lowered it to the nearby anvil and droppedherself to the ground on the back.

- Rui-san!- She jumped in immediately, and her reaction was noticed by those at the fire. After Kyou Kai, Mou Ten was the first to see that his fiancé was lying on the ground with her eyes closed but her breathing steady and calm. He smiles and waves at the worried girl.

- Nothing wrong Kai, she just tired. She always does this. Then you can't wake up until noon. - he grabbed Rui by the hand and carried her to a neighboring tent in bridal style. There she lay on the bed and kissed her forehead.

- Sweet dreams, my dear. - That would have turned out, but then Rui grabbed the back of his shirt from behind. Ten thought he had woke her up, but when he turned back, her eyes were still closed, but she muttered something.

- Don't go Ten... .Don't leave me alone... - Rui whimpered, her fiancé heart sank, but tomorrow a dangerous battle is on the horizon, and he must be ready. For all of his peoples' sake.

- Tomorrow, I'll come back to you... i promise.
