In the Hinami Residence.
"Mom, Kosuke, I'm back!" Kaori said when she entered their house.
"Kaori, is it you my Kaori?" Her mom said as she went to her daughter and hugged her hard.
"Nee-chan?" Her brother Kosuke also said with tears in his eyes.
It was a touching reunion of a family that was separated by hardship and the cruelty of power.
"Mom, Kosuke, I already found a lot of evidence that can convict Uncle Kagami of his wrongdoings. We just need to show it to Father and the elders and arrest him.
"No Kaori, you shouldn't have come back. Your father just died yesterday and your uncle is already in charge of the palace. He's just putting up a drama of mourning for his brother's death and he will kill us as soon as he can." Her mom said.
"But, but!" Kaori said.
"No Kaori, just bring your brother and get out of here. Your brother and your safety is more important to me than anything in this world. Please Kaori." Her mom pleaded.
"Hime sama, My queen, palace guards are heading this way with Kagami. What will we do?" Ken entered the room hurriedly.
"Go Kaori! Go and get your brother out of here. Ken, go with them and protect them." She said.
"No, Mom!" Kaori said.
Then a hard series of knocks were heard from the door.
"Open this door immediately! The Daimyo wants to have your presence right now!" One guard yelled.
The 4 of them wasn't able to react much because the door was immediately destroyed by the guards outside before anything could happen.
"Hohohoho! What do we have here? Is this a reunion of the Hinami Family. I'm hurt that I wasn't invited. It's nice to see you Kaori. I had just sent a messenger to your last location to tell you that your father has already died." Kagami said.
"My father didn't die you swine! You murdered him!" Kaori said.
"What are you talking about Kaori?" her mom asked.
"Uncle Kagami poisoned father, mom. Father was never ill in the first place. It was all Uncle Kagami's ploy!" Kaori explained while Ken just nodded.
"Hohohoho! What are you talking about Kaori chan? That's a serious accusation. I can charge you of treason since I am currently the Daimyo of the Land of Valleys!" He said while Kaori and the others step backed due to the guards raising their weapons.
"You, you!" Kaori wasn't able to finish his sentence due to her anger.
"I hereby accuse you Kaori and your family together with Ken Treason. The punishment for treason is death! Guards! Execute them right now!" Kagami yelled while the guards were about to charge at us.
Ken then went in front of us and yelled.
"Hime, My Queen! I'll hold them back, Run!" He said.
But the Queen just stood there and cried while hugging his son and Kaori just kneeled and cried her eyes out!
"Someone! Help us!" Kaori prayed in her heart.
When the guards were about to kill Ken and get to Kaori and the others, all of the guards fell one by one.
They lied there on the ground with visible large wounds on their chest.
"What did I told you that crying wouldn't be able to change anything right, Hime?" I said.
Kaori then raised his head and looked at my direction.
My eyes were a deeper red than usual. My hair was waving from the fast movement that I made by killing all 10 guards inside the room that was rushing them and my Hidden Blade was retracted from my wrist with blood dripping from its blades.
"Dai Kun!!" Kaori yelled while crying her eyes dry and rushed me with a hug. Kaori crushed me with her hug since she is a 12-13 years old girl but my height is around 11 or 12 years old boy. That was why I was able to support my body from falling due to her hugs.
"There, there, I told you that I'll be there to save you if ever you were in danger right?" I said
Kaori just remained there and cried her eyes out.
"You! You! Who are you?!" Kagami yelled.
"Well, I'm a nobody. I'm just here to give you a special gift." I said with a smile.
"Wh-What would that be?" He asked.
"Your DEATH." I said while I vanished from my spot and stabbed him on the chest.
Kagami's eyes widened from the attack and he looked at me like he was trying to process what just happened.
He opened his mouth and seemed like he wanted to say something but he wasn't able to since he died a few moments later.
After I killed Kagami, I then went to Kaori and her family to make sure that they were alright.
"Are you alright Kaori?" I asked?
"I'm fine Dai Kun. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I thought that we were gonna die. But you saved us Dai Kun. Thank you!" She said.
She just repeated the same words over and over again while she was hugging me in her chest with tears in her eyes. Her mother was also there, watching us while hugging his son. Ken was also sitting on the ground while taking deep breaths that he didn't know he was holding back.
"I'll leave now Kaori, Ken! Even if he is a scum and he tried to kill you and your family Kaori hime. I still killed an acting Daimyo of the Land of Valley. I need to go now Hime or I will be put on trial for killing a Daimyo, which wasn't my mission. If they ask how they died, just tell them that he was killed by a man with an Anbu mask. I'll go now Hime. I'll hope that I'll be able to see you again." I said with a smile on my face.
Kaori then went near me and hugged me hard one last time. After a few minutes, she then released me from the hug but before he separated from me, she kissed me in the cheeks and said.
"Thank you, Dai Kun. Thank you for everything that you've done for me and my family. I'm gonna miss your hum every night I'm gonna sleep. Goodbye for now." She said with a bright smile on her face.
I blushed a little from her actions. If you ask me, if Kaori was beautiful then I would be lying if I answered no.
Kaori was a very beautiful girl with long violet hair and violet eyes. She's a tall girl for her age and she has a perfect curvy body. She's like your typical girl that 2 nations will fight for love.
I then nodded at her words and vanished from my spot. Kaori then cried after I left the room.
"This ain't the last time we'll see each other Dai Kun. Take care." She said in a whisper.
When I vanished from my spot I then arrived outside the manor and entered the secret pathways.
Before I proceed to trek the passageway.
"Sigh! Am I gonna experience puberty again? I'm not even a teen yet." I said to myself as I walked down the pathway as silent as possible to not startle anyone that might know my presence.
