Kensaku: A Way Of Life

" Hey, I'm talking to you!"
The man yelled as the raven-haired girl stopped. " I realized; I just ignored you." she replied calmly, but in a strong, significant tone. The man's face grew red with anger as he grabbed her shoulder," I don't like that tone of yours..." he breathed in her ear harshly. She smacked his hand away and turned a piercing blue eye to him. " And I don't like your face. You see; We all have dislikes. If there isn't anything else, I'll be on my way," she replied, and once again continued on her journey. As she did so, the man pointed at her back," I bet you're one of those people who believe in Kensaku, aren't you?! You tyrant; don't you know it's a cult?!" he smirked at the fact that he made her stop again. " Kensaku..." she began, her voice not above a whisper. " is not a cult. It is a way of life."

Tomi: the only way of life known by those who are born to rich and wealthy families. To Rin Kietsu, this way life is the only way of life for a girl of her prestige, of her class in Kyoto, Japan. Grand parties, frilly dresses, you name it, and in only a few seconds can it be done.

That was five years ago, when someone made the mistake of killing her mother.

It's been two years since she killed her father for killing her mother and blaming it on the Lepters, an elite military/police force that serves Emperor Yoku, a greedy, bulbous man of sorts. For a short time, Rin found peace in a small village at the edge of a forest, far from her horrendous past in Kyoto.

And yet, it always seems to find her.

Now, Rin's been called to the Emperor's palace,Yoku requesting her skills to help him carry out a plan of pure evil. After refusing, Yoku goes and kidnaps her smaller brother, Kei, who knows nothing of how to defend himself against the evil persuasion of becoming a Lepter himself.

Kensaku: those who don't know what their purpose in life is
But for those who truly know Kensaku
It IS a way of life.
