Kojin

Chapter 1

     Opening my eyes I see the same cracked rocks above me from when I had closed my eyes last. The so-called bed underneath me obviously has seen better days. I could feel the damage time has done to the bedding that kept me comfortable for who knows how long. Stretching my arms I hear my joints pop in unison getting instant relief from the hard slumber that it seemed like I had. Standing up I realize that things have definitely changed since I was last awake. The presence was completely different. 10 tails was back. I felt the powerful chakra emitting from something not too far away from my rocky sleeping hideout. I do a few stretches to get the blood flowing back inside of my sore body.

      The memories that I had of the past are a bit foggy. But, they will hopefully eventually come back in the future. The air in the rocky room I woke up in was stale. It was also unbelievably dark. Instantly a memory came back into my head.

     I had this dark dense chakra surrounding my body. Every step I took left a footprint in the ground. I see the man that stood before me. The power that came out of his presence. Was strong. Yet the power didn't affect me like everyone else. The sky was blood red. A huge tree-like shape in the middle of it all. Not a single living human was moving. I could feel the chakra of the tree gaining more and more power. And then I sensed his evil presence. The 10 tails. My rival. No matter how many times we fight. Rage boils inside of my body and the dark chakra grows thicker. Before I know it his head is in my fist and everything fades back to normal. And the tree falls and what's left of the shinobi army falls out of the tree's grasp.

     My knees start to give out and I quickly catch myself with my hands slamming on the rock under my resting spot. My breathing quickened and flashes of what I just saw quickly went and came. Yet I feel like this was the norm for me. My breathing went back to normal and I was able to stand up straight. The dark rock that I was in seemed lighter. There seemed to be a chest that was near the rock bed I was on. Walking over to while the cold stone making its temperature known; I kneel down and it seemed like there was no way to open it. I touch the lock and my hand glowed along with the metal frame of the chest and it swung open. Relieving jet black clothing and dual swords. My heart races in pure happiness.

     "I missed you," I say. My voice almost scaring me. It sounded deadly like my voice could stop your heart with only one word. I pull out the swords and place them on the bed. I pull out the black clothes that still smelled of death. My heart instantly races to know that I get to cover them in the warm, red blood of whomever my hands claim as my next victim. I can just see the blood of the last 10 tails dripping off of my hands and his body falling to the ground. Holding up the skirt that just went above my knees biting my lip hard creating a line of blood flow down from my lip and a single drop drips to the ground. My heart races in pure excitement for what is about to come of whoever was awoken. Pulling the skirt over my legs and into the spot around my waist. I grab the black button-up shirt and pull it on. Buttoning it up in excitement. I shove the end of the shirt under my skirt to make it seem a bit professional. Last was the black cape that I still wonder to this day how it was still in the condition it was in. But it's, not a combat cape it's more to hide my presence from my victims. The cape is lined with some kind of plant that hides the chakra that whoever has it on. The last item in the chest was the black leather sheaths that hold the swords that have so many lives absorbed into the dragon steal. Sliding the swords so effortlessly into the sheaths I look around to see where the exit of this rocky grave that they made for me.

     Pushing on the rocks around the room. One of them falls once I push on it. Once it hits the ground it smashes into pieces. A sudden gust of wind tainted in the smell of fresh blood blows past me into the new area that just opened up. I smile knowing that it's gonna be a fun one. The steps that lead to the rocky grave were gone. I look down seeing that it was clearly a long way down. Taking a deep breath of the blood infused air and I see the 10 tails in the distance. Making my way to the edge of the cliff I jump down feet first.
