               A small smile was plastered on my face. The enemy was closing in on me. I smiled wider, pulled my sword out of its holder, and licked my lips. The sword glowed as the light hit it. It was going to be tainted red soon. The sword had seemed as if it was smiling. The smile grew brightly on my features.

                The enemy soon was on the attack and I smiled even more. I quickly evaded the attack. I brought my sword up, slashed the sword downwards, and slashed his chest open. He slowly coughed up some blood and fell to the ground. As soon as the fight was over I wiped the sweat from my brow. I cleaned my tainted sword off and put it back in my holder.

                “Hopefully master will approve of my skills now.” I thought to myself. Master was always proud of me after a job well done.

                I walked into my master’s house with a big smile on my face. The smile was wiped away instantly when I walked into the house. I quickly ran over to my master. He was lying in a pool of his own blood. I picked his body and held it up to my chest. He was still breathing, but very slowly. He opened his eyes and saw the look on my face.

                “Amaya, I-I’m sorry y-you had to s-see me like t-this…my time left on Earth is s-short. I would like you to hold onto this charm for me.” He said to me. Tears sprung into my eyes as he gave me the charm.  He had always protected that charm.

                “Keep it safe…my child…” He closed his eyes and his eyes never opened again. Then everything went black.

…

                I slowly opened my eyes and peered over at the clock that was sitting next to my bed. It was four in the morning.  I sighed, got up and walked into the bathroom.  I turned the shower on and got in. The warm water made me feel a lot better.

                I hated waking up this early, but I always did after I had that dream. The crazy thing is that this did happen to me.  I don’t remember too much of the rest that happened because I was only five when it happened. I do remember that scene though.

                After I got dressed for the day I started my early morning training. I used dummies to practice on. In the academy I normally practiced by myself. Sometimes I would practice with this annoying guy. I didn’t really know what his problem was.

                I used some of my new sword techniques on the dummies which in turn disintegrated. I smiled wide as I saw how much I progressed. When I was done training I left and that’s when he came.

                “Hey Amaya, do you want to train with me?” he asked me with a puppy dog look in his eyes. I sighed because I had just gotten done with training. Now he wants to train with me. I think the guy is looney in the head.

                “No, I just got done with training. I will train with you some other time, okay?” I responded. He looked sad when I said no. I felt a little bad for him. He always seemed to be on his own all of the time. Then again he actually has a family. I lost my master ten years ago. The only person I had in the world was taken away from me.

                “Well alright, but if you change your mind I will be at the training area.” He said with a big stupid grin on his face.  I smiled back because he could always make me smile.

                “Alright, if I change my mind I will come to you.” I said with a smile. By the way his name is Kenichi.

…

                I was sitting in my favorite restaurant enjoying myself. I ordered my favorite item on the menu. That was normally a cheeseburger with fries. (I know not the healthiest choice.) They make the best cheeseburgers in town though.

                “Hey Amaya,” said a blonde girl. I didn’t even know who she was. She had big green eyes and a pink bow in her hair.  She looked like a complete Barbie doll. I hated girls like that though they really bugged me when they tried to talk to me.

                “What do you want?” I asked her. She had a pout on her lips after I said that. She seemed like the annoying type.

                “I just wanted to talk to you.” She said with a pout. She was starting to get on my nerves. I only just met her too and I was already annoyed.

                “Before we talk I want to know who you are. Why do you want to talk to me?” I said annoyed.

                “My name is Nina. I wanted to talk to you about Kenichi. Are you two dating or something?” She asked me. That question made me choke on the soda I was drinking.

                “No, why would you ask such a stupid question?” I said with a glare. Everyone knew how annoying I thought he was. I also thought he was a nice kid.

                “Well you always train with him. I thought you two were dating. Now I can go after him.” She said.

                “Nina, I don’t care what you do. Now leave me alone.” I said. She smiled evilly at me. She was getting on my nerves even more than she was before.

                “Well then stay away from Kenichi or you will have an unfortunate accident.” She said.

                “Do you want to take this outside?” I asked her.

                “No, I rather not fight.” She said. She got up from the table I was sitting at. When I was done eating I left the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant let me have a break. He gave me the food on the house. He knew how I could be when I was frustrated. Everyone knew how I was when I got frustrated.

                I kicked a garbage can on the way out. I put a big dent on it. I went over to the training area. Kenichi was still training. He was about to collapse from exhaustion. I caught him when he looked to see who caught him his face lit up like a tomato.

                “Hey Kenichi, are you alright?” I asked him. I felt his forehead and his face was still as red as a tomato.

                “I’m fine, thanks.” He said and stood up fast.

                “I’m glad. Do you want to train with me for a little while? It will help me with my skills.’ I said with a tiny smile.

                “Okay.” He said with a smile.

…

`               We were in the middle of training when we got interrupted.

                “Are you Amaya?” asked one of the other samurai.  I shook my head yes. For some reason I was always scared when these guys showed up.

                “Y-Yes, I am Amaya.” I finally decided to say.

                “Can you come with us?” the second one asked.

                “O-Okay,” I responded.

                “The leader of our village wants to see you.” The first one said. I shook my head in understanding and I wondered to myself…”What would he want with me?”
