Kito meditated under the waterfall while going over his soul cultivation.

when he had become one with the forest he heard the cry of a woman immediately he teleported to the sight to find a girl in a pink and white kimono being attacked by a black boar.

he raised his right hand a grappe danced around his hand and he launched it at the vile beast towards the beast as a warning shot.

"I told you kiriko it's dangerous to come up here on the wrong path." Kito scolded the girl.

"i'm sorry Kito dono but I wanted to bring you a lunch and then I was attacked by a boar."

"It's okay " kito sighed

"itadakimasu." he said before eating

"say Kito Sama have you heard the lady yukihime is coming to our village to pick out a bodyguard."

"Yeah." Kito said sadly.

"Oh c'mon Kito sama it's not your fault that her Father Has Refused to make you a higher ranked warrior than a Imperial Foot solider.

"Yeah well that's not it Entirely." He said taking a sip of night goat milk.

"you still wonder if she loves you?" Kiriko

" Ugh No." Kito said In Annoyance

She still thinks enough to come visit you and how do you Explain that Spirit battle Armor You got.

"It was given this by a merchant who said it Was on sale." I said.

"Rumor has it that it was a gift from the snow princess her self~!"kiriko sang it like a song.

"Jeez!"I Got up and walked away.

I was outside my house practicing my martial arts my grandpa taught me aikido jujutsu bajiquan Hsing yi Lihue quan and some bo-Mac mostly the basics of each style I do know some death blows such as the rising rainbow dragon punch and the thunder Palm baji as well as the chin crushing wrist strike and the three point skull smash of Lihue quan plus I practiced some ninjutsu and bojutsu .

after finishing my work out witch involved the practice of exercise and motion training and application my peace was defiled by the sounds of snickering I turned to see two girls dressed in kunouichi outfits.

the battle Dresses were a yin and yang of violet red and indigo blue.

"How can This humble servant be of service to you two?" I asked in a humble manner.

" our master, that is lady yukihime no Oedo wishes to speak with the one Who calls himself Takeda Kito dono." Said The one in red .

in the back of my mind I envisioned kiriko singing the kissing song.

"Is it urgent Or of high priority?" I asked.

" we advise you to come with us." Said The on in blue.

" okay." Let me grab my coat of arm's.

I grabbed my battle gi my armor and my family sword.

we arrived a short time later at the town center in oedo Tokyo were we were met by the palace guards lady Souten lady akanechi welcome back and this is The young heir to the takeda clan.

"welcome Kito-san." a voice I knew full and well.

" nakokoro Hime sama." I said kowtowing.

"please do not be so formal; I called you here because there is a certain matter I need to discuss with you."

"Okay please go ahead and speak, whatever it is I'll listen as your humble servant." I said.

"Please excuse us." Nakokoro said.

We were left to ourselves.

" now kito dono please let me explain, my grandfather the head of the Oedo dynasty, and your grandfather, The head of the takeda clan we're closer than brothers and wanted there heirs to marry. But both of them had Sons instead of one having daughter and the other having a son so they promised their grandchildren to one another if they were of opposite genders in birth so you are Officially My betrothed husband to be-wed .

she took a sip of her tea I decided to do so myself.

then suddenly I heard a creak I instinctively grabbed my hidden Dagger and threw it towards the door but not aiming to hurt no one but to just close it.

then I turned to nakokoro hime and said I appreciate you informing me of our situation and I accept the role with honor and respect.

after we returned to sogen I found my house being visited by a mysterious man he was wearing a mask that was assured.

he turned towards me.

" Are you Takeda."

no honorific titles this guy is scum. I thought to myself.

" yes I am" I said.

he instantly came at me with a high side kick aimed at my throat I immediately stepped outside his kick grabbed him by his hip and shoulder and turning my waist I threw him to the ground.

he came at me with a low crouching jab but I sprang up and kicked him three times twice with both my right and left leg.

he smirked and with a fierce twist preformed a flying round house kick I was knocked to the ground momentarily but I got up without hesitation.

i shuffled my stance from right to left then I preformed a shuffle step into a turning elbow fallowed by a turning dragon uppercut.

"There was a sickening crack when my elbow hit his chin fallowed by a crunch when I connected to his chin with my dragon uppercut. "rising rainbow dragon fist." I called out.

he snarled he came at me with a high punch a low punch a hook a uppercut and then a turning back fist.

I did what any logical person would do I stepped around the blows and preformed the snake style move the sweep the razors edge.

the sweeping leg kick took him down then as he rose i preformed a punch to his forehead to his back and as he got up I finished him off with a pinwheel punch.

the rolling hand punch finished him off with swift accurate results.

he spat blood as my pinwheel punch was aimed at his solar plexus then I struck him in the chin with a chin crushing knuckle strike and ended with a one inch punch to his forehead.

the man was a bloody mess.

Then I bust out laughing

"you really think I didn't recognize you maito."

he got up as his mask had cracked underneath my blow.

You really are brutal I can feal my bones breaking under each blow.

I laughed at that.

" well I see you've been training in hung gar."

"right in the mainland there is a master which is teaching all sorts of martial arts I'd like to introduce him to you."

"well I'm busy at the moment I just got informed of a arrangement that my grandpa and a friend of his made."

"Oh and is this friends grandchild yukihime no Oedo."

" yes nakokoro yukihime Oedo San is my fiancé Apparently" I said a little embarrassed about the fact a country bumpkin like me is engaged to a princess, I know technically my grandfather was a former shogun and my father is a samurai while my mother a former kunoichi. So I have nobility in my Heritage.

after I finished packing I returned to the capital and entered my room I had one last request kiriko my cousin join my living in the castle.

finally when we had finished unpacking I returned to nakokoro yukihime's side.

"well I believe things are in order so then shall we feast."

there was sashimi steak mahi-mahi rice yakisoba and melon bread.

"Itadakimasu!!!" We called out and that was the end of our day.
