Chapter 1 - Gunpei

The Ashikaga Shogunate was reigning in Japan, The previous Shogun gave place to his successor, Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

Yoshimasa was too busy about litterature and his beloved arts, he had no ambition and no desire in being the Shogun.

He was more busy planning the construction of the silver pavilion, he wanted it to be greater than his grandfather's golden pavilion.

At the age of 29, Yoshimasa decided to resign from his position and give it to his younger monk brother, Yoshimi.

They soon started the preparations of the succession in the Shogunate's capital, Kyoto.

To everyone's great surprise, Yoshimasa's wife gave birth to his son, Yoshihisa, in 1465.

This changed everything, Yoshimasa decided that his son should be his heir and successor, and not his brother Yoshimi, anymore.

Yoshimi refused to give up his claim to the Shogunate and gained the support of the Hosokawa clan.

Yoshihisa, the Shogun's son also received the full support of another powerful and influential clan, the Yamana clan.

The stage for war had been set, the Onin war began in 1467. The two clans began waging war at each other and fought many battles.

What was meant to be a little war to decide the rightful heir of the Shogunate turned into an all out war.

In 1477, the Onin war ended and the mighty Shogunate had become a shadow of its previous self.

This shattered the unity within Japan, central authority collapsed and the Daimyos, regional warlords of the respective provinces attacked other Daimyos for portions of land and more power.

This was the start of a period of 100 years of chaos, war and countless suffering.

This was the beginning of the infamous Sengoku Period.

Gunpei was borned in this unfriendly environment and cruel period. With many struggles, he managed to become a samurai.

Gunpei was a feared samurai, respected by all his fellow clan's men.

In this period of incessant war, he proved his loyalty and braveness towards his one and only Daimyo, his master.

In one of the many battles, Gunpei's Daimyo fell on the battlefield against the powerful army of their enemies.

The rules of the warrior stipulates that one has to commit Sepukku when his Daimyo dies during battle.

Gunpei refused to commit Sepukku, he refused to die by his own hands when he survived so many battles and challenges.

The other samurai looked at him with disgust. He was now a rōnin, a former samurai without a lord.

He parcoured the land as a rōnin and tried to survive in this merciless world. Gunpei became a bandit and stole from the passing travelers and merchants.

But as a former samurai, he felt that this life did not correspond him, After 5 years of banditism, he decided to find a new path.

Gunpei thought about being a fisher, the problem was that he could not swim. What if he fell into the water? He had a strong body, so the farming life suited him better.

He managed to get hired and worked under a farmers family, he had to work in the rice fields and did what he had to do.

The family head had a beautiful daughter. The day Gunpei set his eyes on her, he felt very attracted.

She had those great and refined black eyes, her black hair was long and shun under the light of the sun, her body was curvaceous. She was the woman every men wanted in bed.

One night, the full moon illuminated the abundant rice fields. Gunpei was lying on his straw bed, he had been given a little shack where he could rest.

The door suddenly opened and Nono, the family head's daughter slowly entered. She wore a thin red robe that merely covered anything.

Gunpei could see her smooth and uncovered long and firm legs, Nono approached him slowly and removed her robe at the same time.

Even though Gunpei wanted to make love, he was consient that he couldn't. She was the daughter of the family head, if he learned about them sleeping with each other....

"Nono, we cannot do this. Your father will not appreciate it if he learns about it."

Gunpei was sitting on the edge of his bed, Nono pushed him back and sat on top of him.

She placed her lips besides Gunpei's ear and whispered some reassuring words.

"It will be our little secret... Haha.... Now, do what pleases you."

Her slow and flirtuous voice was hypntosizing, Gunpei gulped and looked down on her fully naked body.

The two of them united their bodies and made love until they could no more.

Gunpei worked there for two whole years and had fun times with Nono, but those fun times betrayed him.

One night, they had been caught by Nono's mother. She told everything to her husband and in the morning, Gunpei was welcomed by 6 men around his bed.

"Get this bastard outside, beat him up until he dies!"

Before Gunpei could react, they grabbed him and carried him outside. They threw him on the ground, one of the farmers punched towards him

Gunpei stood up and jumped back. He had fought his whole life, it was not the punches of a farmer that could touch him.

"Family head, what have I done?!"

Gunpei asked in confusion. He didn't know why they were so mad and wanted to kill him.

"Son of a bitch, you fucking piece of shit! I should have never trusted a rōnin, you dare ask me what you have done!"

From the house, the wife of the clan head and Nono came out. Nono was crying in the arms of her mother, she looked at Gunpei and gravely accused him.

"He raped me! For two whole years, he forced me to do things..... I don't even wanna talk about it!"

When Gunpei heard this, everything became crystal clear. This snake had accused him of rape to save her own ass.

"Your daughter is a slut, she offered herself every night and well....I had my share of fun."

The family head was furious, he entered the house and when he came back outside, he throwed 6 swords to the ground.

The 6 men took the swords and encircled Gunpei, if he didn't react, we could conclude that he was a dead man.

One of the men swung with his sword, Gunpei saw the sword coming and dodged it by moving to the left.

He punched the man on the nose while his right hand was lowered because of the attack he just missed.

The strong punch caught him off guard. The man dropped the sword and grabbed his face with his two hands.

Gunpei grabbed the sword from the ground and cut the man's two hands while he was holding them on his face.

The hands fell to the ground and from the wrists gushed blood out.

Gunpei pushed him aside and got out of the circle. They did not act while all this was happening, they were terrified by the idea of finishing like their friend.

It was now 5 against 1, or so thought Gunpei. The family head wisled and 20 more men made their appearance.

They were all armed with swords and spears, they all charged at Gunpei.

'Shit, how the hell am I supposed to kill fucking 25 enraged bastards.'

If he had to die, at least he'll die fighting. That was his mentality, and before dying, he had to take his revenge on Nono.

Gunpei didn't flinch a bit when they were a couple of meters away from him, he brandished his sword and met their charge.

He killed them one by one, but Gunpei wasn't a superhuman. Yes, he was doing lots of damage but so did they.

He was four men away from reaching Nono, the first man had a long spear. He thrusted the spear, aiming for Gunpei's throat.

Gunpei reacted quickly from experience, he cut the end of the spear and the deadly weapon turned into a long wooden stick.

Gunpei cut the man's stomach and the his guts spilled out. He then cut the head of the three others in a swift motion with one swing of his blade, at least it seemed so.

Nono was finally there, only three meters away. Gunpei ran towards her and when he was close enough, he sliced through her throat in a 45 degree angle.

The blade was stuck and couldn't go further, Gunpei was panting and looked straight in her eyes.

She looked back at him in shock, with her widened black eyes. She wanted to say something, but she couldn't, she was slowly dying.

Gunpei looked at her with a satisfied look, she got what she deserved.

"You reap what you sow! I will never let anyone acuse me of things I ha- UUGHHH!"

From behind, the swords of the still living men entered his back and pierced his lungs and internal organs.

Gunpei, who's hand was on Nono's face, pushed her to the ground. He made some room for himself, he looked at the men who had stabbed him.

His vision was getting blurry and his breathing was getting inconsistent, Gunpei was dying.

'What a shitty way to die....all because of a sex craving crazy slut. FUCK!'

He walked aimlessly around the farm until he collapsed, not a single trace of life was left in him, Gunpei was dead.
