Let Me introduce the Female Lead
Behind her innocent face hides a secret.
Tsukusi grew up in an orphanage and at the age of twelve she run away from her adoptive parents who mistreated and abused her since Day 1.She roam around the street of Tokyo hungry and cold until she met this old man who owns a dojo.
It was old and not a single apprentice can be seen inside .
Barefoot she walks slowly and get in hoping to steal some food .
Akihiro
If you're planning to steal some food, you don't have to.
The old man speaks. She didn't even notice his presence. He was suddenly standing behind her .
She steps backward scared. She put her arms on her chest and cross it .
She followed him. They walked into the kitchen.
He prepared something for her. It was warm soup.
Akihiro
I don't have anything as well. So please take it to fill your stomach .
Without a word she grabbed it and excitedly starters eating .
She totally forgot when did she eat proper food like this. It wasn't much like the old man said buts she's been eating spare bread and leftover food from the restaurants for over a week now .
She smiled after she filled her stomach .
Akihiro
Do you have anywhere to go?
He looks at her from head to toes
It was winter and snowing outside. Her feet is now black due to cold. Her feet suffered from frostbites. She didn't even know how did she managed to reach his place .
She moved her head left and right as an answer .
Akihiro
You can stay here. I don't have much to offer but you're safer here than outside .
Akihiro
I have spare mattress there and blanket.. Help yourself .
She watched him vanished from her sight.
After several days of roaming around in a cold weather just now she felt the cold. She wasn't sure it's probably because of her will to survive.
She walks to an empty broken room and pick up the matress and blanket. She folded her legs and hug herself .
Her will to survive keeps her alive until now.
When she finally lay her back on the floor she realized this is the first time again in many days she will sleep like this.
She most of the time sleep in a sitting position and and always alert guarding herself .
The street of Tokyo is very dangerous especially to girl alone like her .
She managed to escaped the thugs several times thanks to her her quick reflexes .
Few minutes later she's already sleeping soundly again for the first-time.
Ignoring the cold as that room has no heater and it will fall down anytime .
Next Morning she woke up by the sounds of heavy breathing and clang wooden sword .
It was the old man practicing martial arts and swordsplay.
She observe for few minutes and then suddenly she stand up and follow his moves without realizing she's doing it .
Empty Soul
When the old man noticed her moves.
Akihiro
Do you want to learn???
He asks with fascination. It's already several years since he got an apprentice. Although the dojo is still open he never accepts anymore student after the last one which is 10 years ago .
Tsukusi looks at her. He can't see anything on her face but her innocence. Her expressionless face is telling him she suffered so much even without speaking.
Akihiro
Poor soul. She probably suffered so much at young age .
He can't skip thinking while looking at her .
For a moment she looks at him and then nods
Akihiro
Hey can you speak?
Akihiro
What is your name?
Short word, as she states her name .
Akihiro

Tsukusi just nods and didn't speak .
He handed the wooden sword on her .
Akihiro

Akihiro
I will just stand here .
She was hesitate at first.
Akihiro
Didn't you say you want to learn ?
Akihiro
Now hit me all you can.
Akihiro
Don't worry I won't get hurt .
Akihiro

Akihiro
Thank of me as a monster who wants to kill you.
Tsukusi remember her adoptive father who almost r*ped her.
Her expression changes and suddenly lunges forward on him and hit him hard as she can .
She hit him several time while her tears are falling from her eyes .
Akihiro
Go on... Release your anger .
There is no sign of pain in him even she's hitting him hard by the wooden sword.
And when she got tired she fell on her back on the floor and stretch her arms .
Akihiro
How does it feels ?
Akihiro
Are you satisfied ?
Somehow the pain in her heart lessen a little .
Akihiro
Go and have breakfast. Cook whatever you can find in the kitchen. I will come back after few hours .
Akihiro walks in his room. He cannot contain his excitement. He stopped teaching because he couldn't find a talented one who deserves his teaching .
He pull down half of his clothes and saw the bruises causes by Tsukusi hit.
He wouldn't normally bruised as his body is trained he, seldom feel pain even at old age.
He lost appetite to live and just waiting for his end until Tsukusi arrived. Now he is motivated to teach her and let her inherent all his knowledge .
