(OOC: ... Damn you Mirai. I already planned my story. I said I'm going to move on if you don't respond soon. So... Sorry. Although that portal is tempting... Perhaps you can do that later. After Shiro and Midori leaves Rokkaku again. I assumed you and Raye were the same cuz both you and Raye onced shared a screen name.) --- '' Secret Asian Man. He lives a life of danger.

It was night time when Shiro and Midori arrived at Rokkaku. The village was quiet, so the two were unoticed. They enter Genkaku's dojo. Shiro immedietly begins gathering weapons and supplies. Meanwhile, Midori was exhausted both physically and mentally. The events during the day was draining her energy. Midori: ''I'm tired. I'm going to sleep. What about you?'' Shiro: ''I must pack our supplies. Go to bed. You're exhausted. I'll sleep later.'' Midori: ''...Alright. But don't over exert yourself.'' Shiro: ''I'm fine. Go to sleep. We'll attend Shinji's ceremony, tomorrow and leave right after.'' With that said, Midori went to bed. She fell asleep instantly. She began to dream... She was standing alone in an open field. It was night time. She turned around and saw a small cabin. As she approached the cabin, she heard a cry of a baby coming from inside. Midori: ''Makoto?! MAKOTO! Don't worry, mother will save you!'' Midori tried to open the door but it was stuck. She banged hard on the door till her hands bleed. The baby's cry grows louder. But then, the door opened and the whole cabin melted. Midori ran toward Makoto and picked up the crying baby Midori: ''Makoto, mother is here. You're safe. What?!'' Midori noticed that the child's eyes had no pupil. The baby was blind. Midori: ''What have they done to you, my child?'' Just then, Midori heard laughters. She looked up and saw two men roasting some meat over a fire pit. She was in a forest now. Midori: ''Excuse me sirs, but what are you eating?'' The men did not answer. Instead the picked up the fresh meat, still dripping with bood. Then Midori noticed there were gaping holes on the men's chest, where their heart had been. They were eating their own heart! Midori: *Gasp* ''Oh!'' Forgetting the child was blind, she covered Makoto's eyes from the grisly sight. She was disgusted at the grusome sight. Sickened by what happened, Midori turned and ran away, carrying Makoto with her. But her retreat was stoped by the ground splitting opened. Flames shoot out from the fround as it singes her dress. The hot flames touched the baby's bare legs. He screamed in pain as his legs were burned. The baby wiggled out of Midori's arm. Before she could react, the child turned into a large ferocious wolf. It bared its huge fangs at Midori. Before the wolf attacked her, the earth opened up and swallowed the wolf. With rocks as teeth and flames as tongue, the earth engulfed the howling wolf. The earth shook violently as the sky fell... Midori: ''No! Makoto!'' Midori woke up from her nightmare, screaming. Cold sweat ran down her face. She trembled as she screamed. Midori: ''NOOO! Makoto!'' Shiro quickly entered the bedroom. He was still packing. Shiro: ''What is it?! What's wrong?'' Midori: ''Oh, Shiro! I had a horrible dream! I dreamnt Makoto turned into a wolf and was swallowed by the earth! This is an omen! Makoto is in danger!'' Shiro: ''Shhhh.. Don't worry. He'll be all right. We'll save Makoto. Just go back to sleep. It's over now.'' But Shiro knew Makoto was indeed in danger. They have to hurry.--- '' Secret Asian Man. He lives a life of danger. To those he meets, he stays a stranger. Secret Asian Man

*Mirai looks up suddenly* Raye, the Trigger is in trouble. We may have to go to Neifelheim alone. I only hope Hotaru and Lavos can guide us through this. --- ~Sonic Boom's Ambidextrious Hand Man~

After awhile, Midori went back to sleep. When morning came, the two prepared for Shinji's cremation ceremony. Shiro: ''I can't let the village know I'm here. So I'll have to watch from afar.'' Midori: ''I will join you. I don't want the village to see me either,'' Shiro: ''Why not?'' Shiro didn't know about how the village feel about Midori. Everywhere she goes, she was harrassed. It's not that she's afraid of their harrassment, she just didn't want to ruin the ceremony because of her presence. Midori: ''Eversince I had Makoto, the village hated me. I just want to go without ruining your brother's ceremony. The villagers will be distracted by presence.'' Shiro: ''I see. I am terribly sorry.'' Midori: ''Don't be. Come, we'll be late.'' Shiro noticed that Midori has become more independent. Liberal. Before, she'd behave like any other girl in Rokkaku, relying on men for protection and help. Now, she's on her own. Shiro was saddened by the thought. ''Midori used to be a soft, delicate flower. Now, she relies only on herself.'' Shiro and Midori watched the ceremony from afar on a high roof. From here, they could see Shinji's corpse burning, as the monks chants prayers for a safe journey to heaven. Seven maidens sprinkled the burning body with petals of the lotus, the royal flower. All the while, the village mourned the lost of their prince. The chancellor, sitting high atop a balcony, tried to hold back tears of sadness. ''The Takemura Dynasty'' has ended. The king died of an illness 5 years ago. The queen died, giving birth to Shinji. And Shiro was missing. Soon, war will break out as neighboring kingdoms fight to conquer Rokkaku. The chancellor stood up and spoke. Chancellor: ''The people of Rokkaku. Today is dark day in our history. Today, marks the end of a wonderful era. The Takemura Dynasy has ended. As tradition dictates, we must find a new ruler, before our enemy conquers us. We must choose a ruler, who is charismatic, honorable, merciful, and wise. To do that, we ask the help of the great god, Raijin, to guide us.'' The chancellor turned around and revealed an extravagant sword. It is a wonderfully crafted katana. Decorated with jewelry. It was called, ''Murasame'' This katana was handed down from generation to generation. It is said that the ''Murasame'' was created by the great god, ''Raijin'' to choose who is worthy of ruling his children, the kingdom of Rokkaku. Chancellor: ''With this sword, the 'Murasame,' we will choose our next king.'' The chancellor placed the sword on the alter. It is believed that only a person fit for ruling the kingdom may touch it. Those who can touch it, may take the sword and rule Rokkaku. Once the sword was placed, the monks rang the holy gong 108 times to call Raijin. Then the cermemony was over. All that's left was for somebody to take the sword. But no one dared, because they hoped that Shiro was alive andwould come back and claim it... --- '' Secret Asian Man. He lives a life of danger.

Shiro stares intently at the ''Murasame.'' It is if the sword is beckoning to claim. Shiro knew what he had to do. It was his destiny to take it. But he took it not because he wants to rule Rokkaku, but to prevent war from breaking out to choose a new king. Shiro waited till nightfall. He walked up to the alter outside of the palace. It has been moved from he balcony to the courtyard. There were no guards. Shilo approched the holy sword. Midori waits at the gate. Shiro: ''O mighter king of gods, I, Shiro Takemura have come to claim the responsibility of king.'' Just then, Shiroheard heard a voice in his head. ????: ''Shiro, thou hath deserve the right to rule Rokkaku. But first, you must save the boy from the clutches of evil. Take the sword and go to the land of the dead.'' The voice faded. Shiro knew exactly what the voice meant. But he didn't really knew why he was told to go. It doesn't matter, he was intent on going to Neifelheim, anyway. He carefully takes the holy sword, ''Mursame.'' He felt a surge of power. He heads for the gate. Midori was pleased. Shiro: ''Let's go. It is time.'' --- '' Secret Asian Man. He lives a life of danger. To those he meets, he stays a stranger. Secret Asian Man
