azrael the reaper Gaijin Otaku azrael the reaper Gaijin Otaku azrael the reaper Gaijin Otaku Looking at the proud samurai Gaijin could sense his power. "First let me say I am not upset that you killed some of my pupils. If any ninja of mine could not sense your strength & attacked they deserve to be killed. Now onto why I called you here. I am aware of your dojo in the swamp. You have taught many great warriors. You truly are a master samurai. I on the other hand am a master ninja. You were sent for so I may test my skills against you. Gaijin's eyes narrowed. "I am aware of your alchemic powers samurai. I to have skills & abilities beyond normal men. I suggest this test be man to man. No extra powers used, just our own fighting skills & our swords. Will you accept my challenge samurai?"*azrael bowed to his opponent "if that is your wish, then so be it. as for my alchemic power, it is my defense against those who use magic, guns,or alchemy. if you use none of them, then i shaln't either. and no back up. if you begin to lose, i do not want a swarm of ninja on me, for i know how fierce your kind can be" Gaijin ignored Selysia's comments to the samurai master. "As you say then samurai no tricks. Believe it or not ninja to have a code of honor. Let this be a fair match then." He bows to the samurai then prepares himself for the fight. *Azrael entered the tai jinku stance, readying himself for whatever the ninja had to throw at him. Quickly Gaijin moves towards the samurai. Suddenly he flips over azrael to land behind him. He turns & delivers a sharp blow to the samurai's back. *azrael watched this move carefully and moved himself aside in the last instance, then grabbed the swinging arm and jerked it so as to flip the ninja before him to the ground hard Gaijin caught himself before hitting the ground & landed on his feet in a crouched position. His arm shot out & his hand grabbed the samurai by the ankle. With a quick tug he sent the samurai falling backwards.

YurikaiMotou Red_Ronin YurikaiMotou Selysia kept her watch on the battle before her, but her mind was elsewhere despite the impending threat. Memories from her past started to enter her weary mind from the death of her father, to the suicide of her mother, and then to her training which led up to the point she was currently at. She often wondered why it was that ninja where taught to hate samarai and vice versa, but then she realized she understood. Her step father had been a samarai and he stole her father and her mother from her, but her hatred didn't stop with just samarai; she strongly distrusted men. Her sensei was the only one that she could fully trust, it was the other ninja under his wing; of course she had been the only female ninja in his clan. Becoming weary and disgusted by her thoughts of the past, she stood up from where she sat and turned her back on the battle as she turned her attention towards Toshi. "I have no desire to watch this any longer, if these samarai try anything.....come get me," she muttered and started to walk away with an unreadable emotion in her eyes. Red watched the young ninja walk away. "I wonder what she is up to?" The samurai decides to follow her to insure no trickery. Selysia walked further away, unaware that she was being followed by anyone due to her roaming thoughts. She stopped when she reached a fairly large tree and leaned against it. A solemn sigh escaped her lips before she sat on the ground with her back against the tree's trunk. She took out her tiger's claw, the sword that had belonged to her stepfather and glared at it along with the blood stains it still had on it like she had done numerous times before. She laid the sword gently in her lap and closed her eyes to meditate to get the troublesome thoughts to go away, but that was short lived as another memory flowed through her mind. "Brat!" a man's voice bellowed gruffly, followed by the sound of a harsh smack. A seven year old Selysia sobbed silently as she held her cheek from where her ruthless stepfather had smacked her. He stepped closer to her, grabbing her by the throat. He lifted her up and watched in amusement as her feet dangled a few feet off the floor and fear coursing through the child's eyes.
"You WILL get it right!" he growled and then tossed her to the ground.
"Y..yes....my lord," she stammered as she painfully got to her feet. Selysia opened her eyes to get the images out of her head and took a ragged breath to regain her cold and unemotional composure. "Go away....stop haunting me....I killed you....you're dead," she whispered to herself. She reclosed her eyes to try and meditate again. Red followed the female ninja at a safe distance. He watched her stop & rest by a tree. She appeared to be meditating. Listening closely the samurai heard her speak of killing someone. Red approached her. "Who did you kill & is their spirit haunting you now?"

"Who did you kill & is their spirit haunting you now?" Selysia opened her eyes and glared forward; angered by the samurai's interruption. She clutched the hilt of her tiger's claw that still rested in her lap while a soft breeze blew through her red hair. "Not his spirit samurai....his memory of all the horrible things he commited while he walked among the living," she replied and then turned her head toward him with a cold glare set in her eyes. "Now why did you follow me? I thought I made it apparent that I wanted to be alone,"

"Tell me samurai.....what do you know of honor?" Selysia mused. She had been taken slightly aback that he would pass up the opportunity to try and attack her or pull some kind of trick himself. She kept her cautious, mistrusting glare on him as she slowly stood up to face him and sheathed her sword...trying to hide the confusion in her eyes.

We do not sneak attack others like an assasin would when we battle. I have not met a ninja with honor or morals yet. If you are different than your ninja brethren then please accept my appologies if I've upset you."

I do not like to sneak around unless it's the only liable solution. I'd rather attack head on so that my opponent can see whom the cause of thier demise will be.....oh and don't get me wrong....I'm not exactly praising my kind either," she stated plainly.

So tell me why did you become ninja?"

He first refused because I was female, so my mother took her own life in front us leaving him basically the option to either dispose of me or train me," she replied. "So....why did you become samurai?" she asked.

Eventually I made my way to the desert. There the scorpion clan found me & saw how determined I was to not perish in the desert. They took me in as one of them & trained me to be samurai."

Both had hard paths to traverse and both determined to survive," she stated.
