Dark °Forces U.A. High (MHA ×Hellsing)

Lord Aizawa (26)

Gale fell asleep on the huge rock, her back braced. Her dream started up with her walking barefoot with a shirt tied at the waist. The shirt was short on her but it was better than her ragged dress. A rope had her hands bound and she was being led by Aizawa's head samurai. She would get her hands jerked if she slowed up. Gale aka Nari was exhausted and hungry. The water was gone from her stomach.

Her feet finally betrayed her and she fell, skinning them, slightly. Her teeth accidentally bit her lower lip. She was done, she pulled up into a tight kneeling position. Maybe they would just kill her?

 Death wasn't bad compared to her stomach pain.

The samurai in charge stopped and went back to kick her. His foot caught her in the ribs and knocked her breath out of her.

"That is enough. She's but half starved, put her on Tanaka's horse. I can hear her stomach from here," Lord Aizawa told his samurai.

The samurai tossed her over the saddle and mounted the horse. Gale was so tired she fell asleep. Everything went black and then being woken with water splashing. The girl was tossed in a bath and women washing her. They nearly drown her scrubbing her body and untangling her hair.  Next she was shuffled into a sleeping area and dressed. Gale began to push the women away. It was some of the material and she felt not worthy to wear it.

"You would rather meet our Lord dressed in a man's shirt?"

"I'm not highborn to wear this! I'm dishonoring it by simply touching it," Gale said nervously.

"Our Lord insists all are dressed well in his court and that includes you Ganjin. You do have manners yes?"

Gale nodded her head and bowed. The girl stood still and let the women finish dressing her. Her next stop was to a kitchen. Food was placed for her to carry to the Lord.

"You will take Lord Aizawa his meal. Try not to spill it Ganjin."

Gale said yes and bowed. "Ganjin you speak Japanese well."

She said thank you and bowed again. Her feet moved quickly to the Lord's sitting area to take council with others.  She put the tray down and quietly said "Lord Aizawa your meal."

She bowed on her hands and knees. The girl waited to be acknowledged to enter. The screen door moved aside for her to enter. She was a bit awkward as she had never worn a kimono and handle a food tray. The men speaking with Aizawa laughed. Gale wanted to make eye contact didn't as disrespectful.  She was trying to do her best for the Lord.  The girl set the tray up and poured tea. She made sure the food was presented in an appealing fashion and slide sideways. She stayed in kneeling bow.

"My lord Aizawa what possessed you to keep this skinny Ganjin girl?"

"I have my reasons..."

"She has a heart shaped butt and big breasts!" Another laughed.

"Mmm, I was actually watching her decapitate Tanaka."

Aizawa tapped Gale to raise her head and sit. She handed the tea to him. "Nari how did you come to be here?"

"I came with my father on a Dutch ship. He didn't want me so he sold me to work in a rice field, my Lord," She bowed.

"You have training in ninjutsu. That would make you an assassin Nari,"  the Lord commented.

"I never completed training, Lord Aizawa. Being Ganjin I offended my teacher one too many times..."

The men laughed hard and nodded, "She seems to speak the truth. There is a rumor of a Ganjin knows too much from a ninja school. Just didn't expect a girl."
