Part 1
I heard my father had passed away.
This news was heartbreaking for me, even though me and my father had a short relationship he still was my father and the one who raised me from a young age.
I do remember dose times we had, like that time we walked up the mountains next to our village, me sitting on his shoulders and him telling me about the stories of his adventures around the world.
He had two friends. I think their names were Jigo and Asahi, right? He used to tell me about them all the time and how they were best friends, how they killed these monsters and winning tournaments around the world.
I remember when we stood there on the peak of the mountain watching over our small village and my dad saying "this village is more than a village to us, it's a home its our family and most importantly its something we need to keep safe and as long as i'm alive i will protect it" i heard this words not understanding everything but i can still remember dose exact words, they are special to me because they were special to him.
Even if I were only three at that time and soon turning four I could still remember and still maybe not understand at such a young age but now I do so I am glad I do remember and I'm glad I remember my dad's smile he did when he looked at me that day.
I want to protect my loved ones and the ones who are family, being my friends, mom and the once in my village.
My dad was a great swordsman, who had two great friends. He was a great man and father, i look up to him and wanna be like him, i wanna follow his footsteps and shadow and maybe one day I also can become strong and be recognised.
All I could do to become strong was train and wait till the day i am old enough to be able to travel the world and join a guild, that being 18, the day i turn 18 i hope no i mean i will join one!
I will join the guild with my two best friends and together we could maybe explore the world together. Maybe we have to wait some years, I'm only 11 so in 7 years me and my friends will be traveling together. I know we will.
"YOOOOOO YUKI!"
My friends were screaming at me but i couldn't look at them or even make out what they were saying, all the memories going through me and tears falling down from my eyes, it's too hard to look at them.
I don't want them to see me at this stage, I try to wipe the tears away but my eyes are red, I try to cough so i don't sound sad and I try to think of something else so I can think clearly.
"hej guys"
I answer with my stuttering voice, I can see their faces and it tells me they know that something is off with me.
"what happened??"
That was the thing i didn't wanna hear, the only thing that made me feel depressed again, so i tried to just knock the question out the way.
"nothing, are we gonna go train???"
I ask just to not talk about what happened, i can take it with them some other time, í really don't feel like talking about my dead dad now.
I think telling them about it is better to do some other time.
When standing up i feel someone is screaming at me from within my body but can' make out what he is screaming and it's such a low and deep voice that i can barely hear it but i feel it, i don't really care about it tho.
When I stood up and talked with my friends I felt much better. We walked up the mountain path till we arrived at our training place.
That day we trained till the sun went down. I felt good getting my emotions down in sparring. They thought I was going a little too hard on them but the both of them kept up with me.
I felt that I had more energy for some reason.
The time that goes by feels better. I don't know why but my energy doesn't go away. I feel like I could have more energy than Toguro and he has a lot.
We start taking our training more seriously, we train every day, Toguro does his own little thing and trains mostly brute strength, Takumi meditates and tries to get better by using his water powers and I train my swordsmen ship.
But I almost never get tired. I also have joined Toguro with his training. I feel like if I can get stronger physically I can use my energy better.
I can't really keep up with Toguro so well, he is way stronger than I am and I only join his training sometimes.
Days go by and I have moved past my dad's death, I have taken his death as motivation for me to move on and train, to get stronger and I don't think he would want me sad. I think this is what he wants.
Part 2
"okey do we do as always" i ask
"yes of course!" They both answered.
Toguro runs first towards the apple stand.
Takumi runs after making it look like Toguro gets chased by him.
Toguro kicks the pole that holds the bowl with apples. "Sorry I'm in a hurry," Toguro says to the stand owner.
Takumi runs and trips on the apples but not by accident, Takumi gets help from the owner and then starts talking to him and taking his attention.
I run in from behind, while the owner isn't looking I take 3 apples quickly and run away again.
Takumi gets help and says "thank you" then also runs away following me.
I see Toguro waiting on us around the corner, I throw him an apple and also one to Takumi who runs up to us.
The apples are really juicy, probably the best apples in our village. We ate them up while walking in the village just talking.
Part 3
The clouds cover the sky while we are running home, the rain falls down on our small village.
I can see my mom waiting at home holding up the door for us three.
"HEJ QUICKLY!" she screams at us through the rain's loudness.
Me and my friends run up the stairs, almost tribes of the wet staircase.
We walk inside and I can smell the smell of fish and it makes me hungry.
The three of us scream out "WE EATING FISH??!"
"yes your favorite Yuki" she answers with a smile on her face, the type of smile a mother makes and you never can forget.
We walk into the kitchen and on the table we see a yummy fish, we sit down fast and get to eating.
It was raining heavily outside but I don't think it was so bad. I think it was a good thing that made the mode around the table more comfy.
We were talking about what we have done today and about almost anything, the conversation that night didn't stop, we sat there for almost 2-3 hours just talking.
The fish was really good and I wish we could sit like this every day.
My mom was happy, Toguro was talking about all kinds of stuff he has done but i know that his mostly lying, he said that there was this time he beat up a bunch of swordsmen and saved me and Takumi, he made it sound like me and Takumi was crying for his help.
Takumi was mostly telling Toguro that he was lying about everything so they were fighting some but not anything too bad.
Toguro got tired and fell asleep on the table and the rest of us were getting tired as well so we went to bed, leaving Toguro on the table.
Part 4
3 years had passed since my dad died, I have moved on and started training every day and I was trying my hardest to become as strong as him.
Me and my friends were walking up the mountain as always but when we arrived at our training place we started hearing screaming and metal smacking against stuff.
We looked down at the village and the first thing we saw was bandits, bandits who were attacking our village. We started running down quickly with only our wooden swords.
We may never have fighted for real before but we can't just stand there watching our village getting destroyed and our people getting killed.
I was in shock when hearing all the screams and couldn't think of anything else than protecting the village.
When we finally got down we were scared of fighting but the swordsmen were coming running toward us, even though we were only kids they still were fighting us and without hesitation they were swinging their sword for my neck.
Luckily Toguro saves me by kicking the guy away and I run towards the swordsman and went in for a hit but he slices my wooden sword in half and then tries to hit me but a water ball pierces through his hand making him drop his katana.
I take the katana while looking at the swordsman laying on the ground with blood trough his hand but i ignore it and runs away toward the next swordsman, i parry a hit and ducks under a slash and then hits him on the head with the hold, making him fall on the ground.
I didn't want to kill him so I let him lay there on the ground and took his katana. I gave it to Toguro who is behind me.
Takumi ran off toward some other bandits.
One more comes behind me but Toguro knocks him away and punches him on the jaw, and slashes his leg leaving a blood mark.
I run towards Toguro.
Toguro started screaming at me that a swordsman came behind me (the one i left alive)
I turned around and he got his blade facing my face, I avoided it quickly and blocked his sword with mine, straight versus strength.
Toguro blocks his opponent's hit and kicks him into the one Yuki is fighting's back making Yuki's opponent fall forwards and Yuki's blade slides through The swordsman's head.
I feel time go slower and my katana slides through his head, I freeze in shock and can't imagine what has happened. "why did i kill him"
Toguro finishes off his opponent by piercing his throat, Then looks up and sees Yuki's mom coming running towards Yuki but can't understand why, then he sees blood falling down from her head.
I can't comprehend what I have done, sitting in blood and hearing a voice screaming "YUKI" but cant make out what he is saying or meaning.
So this is really what blood is, it's scary I don't want to, why.
"YUKI BEHIND YOU!!!!" Toguro screams
I can hear someone scream for me but i can't move or speak, my body is paralyzed.
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TWO DOING!!!" Takumi screams over the street and shoots a bullet of water from his finger, it pierces through the swordsman's head and kills him before hitting Yuki.
"Y-Yuki, y-you're mom…." Toguro said in shock, tears falling down his eyes and starts crying slowly..
Yuki's mom adopted Toguro when he was a kid because Toguro's mom died in a house fire when Toguro was only 6.
"I-i feel something warm on my back"
Yuki turns around and what he sees shocks him even more, his mom lies dead on the ground with a cut through her face down to her stomach, blood was spilled everywhere and all i could do was sit there.
I got help from Toguro and Takumi and then they helped me walk away. Why first my dad, now my mom, why did this happen....
I couldn't sleep for the whole night, all I did was cry.
I went to my mom's grave every day after that day and I could stay there for over an hour just talking to her.
Part 5
Years go by and I turn 16 and all I could think of was´being scared to lose someone else. If I were to lose one of my friends I don't know what I would do I would not be able to take that.
But lately I have started thinking of other things than my mom's death. Me and my friends were out going around our village until a dude walked up to us.
He has short black hair, a t-shirt and shorts and also a weird smile on his face.
"you are uhhhhh what was your name again Guki, Goku??? wait did it start with a d maybe uhhhhh fuck, what is youre name?. The guy asks.
"Me??" Toguro asks
"NO dumb ass him!"
"ohhh I am Yuki"
"OOO YOU CALLING ME DUMB ASS, STUPID LOOKING!" Toguro says.
"Shut up, so you're Yuki right okey good that's you, Kenjis son right?"
"uhhh how do you know who he is?? but yeh" Yuki says.
"I am his friend, but youre supposed to come with me now okey, it's your dads final words"
"what? I don't even know who you are, so why should i??"
"Okay so you're gonna come with me and I'll train you but the main point is that we're gonna go to the demon continent where your dad died and we're gonna find your dads sword that is somewhere in the demon continent, he wants you to have it.
"So you're telling me my dad wants me to have his katana??"
"Yes, so are you coming?"
"OH HELL NAH, i am not following you," Toguro says.
"Are you scared??" Jigo responds.
"NO, YUKI WE GOING COME NOW" Toguro says and walks towards Jigo.
"What about you Takumi?? what do you think??" Yuki asks
"Well we don't really have anything to do and we do need some training so i think we should go" Takumi answers.
"Alright we're going, what's your name anyways??" Yuki asks.
"ohh sorry my name is Jigo i mean THE GREAT JIGO!"
"Okej i see, sooo Jigo what is it with this sword?" Yuki asks
"well i'm not sure, you're dad wants you to have it but i heard from a friend that it might be something unbidden"
