A few days ago...
The sun was cloaked by the dark stormy clouds, even though it was morning the sun still didn't shine his bright rays upon Nadeshiko village. meanwhile, Guren came to Ryuuki in the afternoon and Ryuuki who was still sleeping constantly through the noon didn't listen to Guren's wake up call. Guren was wondering if it was quite unusual for a person like him to stay asleep till this time so she decided to wake him up...
Guren:- Ryuuki-kun? wake up!
Ryuuki still didn't wake up so she decided to take away his sword because a sword was supposed to be a samurai's soul. the moment she touched the sheath of his sword she realized there was already a dagger pointed at her neck by Ryuuki.
Ryuuki:- what's the meaning of this?
Guren:- I thought this might wake you up.
Ryuuki:- what do you want?
Guren:- may I ask you why were you still sleeping? It's quite unusual for you. were you doing labour the whole night?
Ryuuki:- yeah, it was quite something like that.
Back to the present...
Guren was frozen to the bone, her heartbeat got increased, and she was rooted to the ground after hearing that the village is on fire tonight. Ryuuki asked her, again and again, to go immediately to the food shelter but she was like an empty shell at the moment. the moment she came back to her senses she was about to ask Ryuuki about the more details, Guren replied in a ferocious angry tone "How do you know all this? what kind of a joke is this? what kind of a person are you to say such things to a place which gave you a shelter?" Ryuuki replies in a serious calm tone " I know you're being indecisive at the moment, but just do as I say If you don't want this village to be burned to a crisp tonight." suddenly the village chief Han'nya came to them and asked "what are you saying if this is true!?" where Ryuuki suddenly looked back and gave a death-stare to him.
Ryuuki:- were you eavesdropping!
Han'nya:- no! no! now, don't give me that look. would you please?
Ryuuki put her hands-on Guren's shoulders and said...
Ryuuki:- listen Guren, what I'm about to tell you! there's a Juda among us.
Guren:- Juda?
Ryuuki:- in short, a TRAITOR!
the moment Ryuuki says this to Guren, Ryuuki's eyes become darkened as he points out his middle finger toward Han'nya and say "You're the traitor here, shithead!" where Han'nya laughs fluently and replies "quite exceptional I must say! to throw a dagger this fast at this distance without anyone noticing it besides us." while holding a dagger right before his eyes which was thrown by Ryuuki.
Ryuuki:- who the hell are you?
Han'nya:- are you sure, you still didn't recognize me?
Ryuuki:- so I guess, my doubts were correct. Han'nya the village chief or Han'nya of the mist I should say!?
Ryuuki:- the former leader of the Oniwabanshu!!
Han'nya:- admirable, I would expect nothing less from Daigo's son. your dad and I used to fight duels daily back in those days.
Ryuuki:- I haven't come here to listen to the old tales.
Han'nya:- then let me warn you 1 thing more. today's fire would be quite exceptional now that you know how dangerous it would be however you won't be able to stop it unless you know how is it going to start even if you defeat me, young samurai!
Ryuuki:- then let me warn you too since I'm a samurai and you're a shinobi.
Han'nya:- what is it?
Ryuuki:- shinobi are like cats who'll work under any person till the moment they're getting their milk. however, samurai are like dogs they'll work under the same master unless the grim reaper itself takes their soul.
Han'nya:- isn't it quite ironic coming from you who killed his own family?
Ryuuki:- my conviction has still not changed. I'm still that previous dog the only difference is that now I've become a big dog enough to fulfil my master's wish. and if you'll stand between my way, the peace which my family wanted, as a dog myself I'll rip that cat skin of yours myself.
the moment their words were exchanged, both of their swords clashed ferociously. Ryuuki immediately closed the distance among them and swings his sword 180 degrees to the left and hit the back of his sheath on Han'nya's stomach with his right hand. after receiving the blow from Ryuuki Han'nya was overjoyed with the pain and he replies in a very exciting tone "to make this ferocious blow on me, let me tell you 1 more thing, young samurai. those bandits are nothing more than tools to me. I'm neither their leader nor their Master because all those BANDITS ONCE BELONGED TO THIS VILLAGE!" the moment Han'nya said this he took out a barrage of Kunai knifes tied in a string and started showering them at Ryuuki by keeping a long distance from him. Ryuuki managed to avoid most of the Kunais by swinging his sword 360 degrees to the front and dodging them however he was still suffering the blows from it. they were minor scratches but enough to make anyone quit the fight. in the midst of the ferocious battle, Ryuuki smiled and say "would you stop putting up the act now?" the moment he said this the kunai which was coming straight to his neck was blocked by another kunai which was thrown by none other than Guren. Guren smiled a bit and replies "now that I've calmed down, looks like I've to stop this act now since this is my mission!"
