" As blood drop on white Chrysanthemum , it shine as red wing on the red full moon. "

Fire , burning , burning , everywhere there is flame but collapsed of the wood , roof and wall , a shivering girl crying and kept crying .

" So there you are , Asaki ? " a man asked.

A young girl age of sixteen sitting on the grave praying for someone . Her eyes were motionless more like she was dead inside .

" Uncle Ogwa , sorry that I was just , just— "

Uncle Ogwa put his hand on her shoulder . He said in sad voice .

" I know that you have still not recover but — you have long to live too , Asaki . "

" Revenge , Revenge all I need . "

Eyes that fill hatred cannot see anything but desire to shed their torse , pluck thier nail , take out their eyes and see them beg for their life .

" Don't be foolish . You will not do anything . You will come with me to Edo ( current Tokyo ) and get married with someone and start a new life . "

" Even if I get married , my hatred will not go away . "

" Don't be stupid . This is not what Sakai and Yoshie want . You are the only member of Asakawa Family , Asaki . You are only one who can restore the great Shin-ryu sword style . That why , your parent gave their life to protect you , you mus —

"They kill my parent , behead my father , raped my mother , destroy our sword school , burn my house and take everything that is dear to me . That the more reason to give them death . "

" Indeed the skill Sakai was unbeatable but to defeat him, who are they ? ."

" Kajin - ryu "

Silent as a grave , Ogawa felt as his soul taken by reaper .

" Ka —— jin ryu , group of bandits and rogue samurais under the Kagoshima Kagutsuchi , a young prodigy in sword art destroying every sword school who opposed them to run their sword school .

I heard his gang are queit a diabolic and he never show any mercy to his enemy nor friend . He truly is a devil . "

" But I have — to take revenge at least I cannot live knowing the killer of my parent are living their life in happiness. "

" He is a devil , you cannot defeat him . "

" But —

" To kill a devil , you have to find a more deviliest than him . "

" Huh —-

" Have you heard of THE BLOOD - EATER ?

" THE BLOOD - EATER ? "

" Nobody knows , Nobody see his face . All people who have seen him are already dead . But rumour has tell him as demon . He is ruthless , cold - blooded . It says that his sword drink the blood of his enemy that why he is called The Blood Eater ."

" Where to find him ? "

" He might be dead or alive who knows but there is rumour that somebody infiltrate into Suheikon House , the family who possessed powerful and great influence in Imperial Court , was slaughter in one night .

" Even after the ten years of warring period , People cannot give up their lust for blood " She said in miserable voice .

" People who have been killed , all of them doesn't have their head . Killer took the head with him , This is similar too the Blood - eater we are talking about. If my intuition is right , Asaki. He is in the land of manslayers , Choyou "

" I make sure to find him for , my revenge.

She was determined to find , she went through many forest , many village , many river untill that day .

In the southern part village , there was small inn for travellers and merchants. She was amazed by seeing the different people in that place .

And on the bed , she was remembering her past , suddenly her father face came up , her mother sudden scream , her past home appear . Her tears fall on her pillow . Then , Then —

Suddenly smoke start , she open the door . Everyone starts scream and shout .

He came near her face . And she spit on his face . Everyone start to laugh at him . He feel insulted and slapped the girl and said " Now you pay for that insulted ". He start to tear her dress . Everybody was silent and they didn't do anything beside watching .

Everybody was watching but Asaki was watching something else . Asaki saw a man with a little girl having white hair with light white kimono having symbol of crescent moon in black on her back , enjoying his chicken leg in the mean of commotions . Man was wear straw hat with black cloak . Still she cannot see his face .
