A New Arrival

A young man was travelling through the densest part of the Kaimon forest.His back was bent and tongue came out from his mouth because of tiredness.He had a sack with him.He sat under a tree and leaned on it .He yawned and closed his eyes.

In the bushes ,there was something.It was too shiny dots which were glowing like fire.Then it suddenly leaped from the bushes.It was a young man .He had a long hair upto his neck .He was tall and muscular.He wore a dirty white shirt, it was torn at the arms and a black lower garment which looked like a full ankled pant.He also wore a red band on his head.That man took out a katana from his back .He suddenly charged on the man who was lying under the tree.When the sword was about to touch him,the man jumped out as fast as a lightning.

The muscular man yelled.He swiped his katana on the traveller again ,the traveller dodged it .

“ What do you think? You would kill me . It's not too easy,my boy !” the katana man grunted.

The traveler moved back near the tree quickly. He took out something from his sack. It was a sword with blade, both the sides of its hilt. The blade of the sword was wider than normal swords. Both the blade had its cutting edge in opposite directions.

It is a Twincrusher .

The katana man struck again,the traveler blocked it with his twincrusher.The traveler got pushed to the edge of a tree.

“ No, I didn't come here to kill you or any other intention like that, ” replied the traveler.

“ Then why you came here ? I know you are one of the men of Shinori, there's no gain in telling the lie, because you are gonna be killed just like each of your partners who tried to kill me, ” howled the muscular man.

“ Takeshi ! It's me your neighbour,Ryan,” said the traveler.

Takeshi moved back with his katana.His wild and violent look changed into a calm and still figure. Takeshi scrutinized and realised that the traveler was none other than his childhood friend Ryan.

“ Ryan ,why you came in this forest ? ” Takeshi asked .His manner was almost rude to Ryan.

“ I was going to Kyoto, when I fortunately met you here, So what were you doing these years after your banishment ? You know how desperate we were to find you, ” said Ryan.

“ Let's talk comfortably, afterr all we met after a long period of time, and sorry for my misbehavior, although I forgot the habit of saying sorry, ”Takeshi took Ryan near the river bank. They sat down, facing the river.

“ I was asking that what you were doing these years after that murder case,”asked Ryan.

“ I tried to blend with this harsh nature of life and trained myself rough and tough from both inside and outside to manage every single situation, I tried to live my life worthy, I didn't make myself depend on this nature cause I don't trust this nature rather this world, ”Takeshi replied .

“ Are you..living in this forest ?”

“ Yes,I lived here to keep myself away from this human world and from it's eyes.People are more poisonous and wild than snakes and animals. When I think about people,it reminds me of how my villagers didn't come a single step forward to help us , although my dad helped them with every possible step,”

“ I can understand your feelings Mr Hikari was very kind and helpful,if he had not taken the punishments of the villagers on his head,then he would have him with us .Shinori was so obsessed with his ego that he didn't even hesitate to kill someone and to forced two innocent ladies to fulfill his daily lust.I cannot believe that a man can be so cruel.

“ That was past,Ryan,just past ! This is present,and the present is that I will paint his whole mansion out of his blood and make him cry for his life! I will kill him ! I will,I will kill him !” Takeshi burst out of a horrible devilish laugh.

Ryan couldn't believe his eyes that a man can change himself completely within a single event.Takeshi stopped his laugh after a while and asked,“ So why are you going in Kyoto?”

“ To become strong and be independent for life ,I want to become a good martial artist to earn money and lift up my family,as you know that I never got any chance of getting proper education,when I can earn myself then I can free my parents from Shinori's slavery,”answered Ryan.

Takeshi squinted ,“ From whom or where you will learn martial art and how ?”

“ From Kyoto Tyjutsu,Bukijutsu and GenjutsuHigh School or shortly Kytbugen High School,they take two copper coins as one month fee and more interesting point is that they will give you shelter in free,”completed Ryan.

Takeshi started rubbing his chin and thought,“ If I want to conquer Shinori then I have to be strong as well as skillful. Lets go with Ryan but I don't have any money to live on ,but that's not a big deal,I can earn it ,but ...will the society accept me with my dark past.This society is very toxic and make me feel sad of my past .It reminds me how happy I was before my father's murder .But that is now just a dream ,just a dream!Oh what a trouble!I want the power but not the people surrounding it .”

“ So how you managed to live in this harsh dense forest with venomous and wild creatures ? ”

“ Well I'm first few days,it was quite a trouble giving and struggling,but if they wouldn't help me the I wouldn't be so strong.”

“ Whom is it ?” Ryan asked when both of them heard some footsteps behind.Takeshi and Ryan turned back.They saw a man in fighting dojo with a conical hat.Takeshi and Ryan immediately stood upright.

The man introduced himself,“ Hi ,I am Rao.I was sent by my friend ,Makyo to kill you ,Takeshi Hikari.Dont worry,I will just use my pint of my power to let you rest in piece forever.I am not like the fools whom you faced before.”

Rao flicked his fingers on a big banyan tree.The tree bent down and fell on the ground.Ryan's mouth droped open.Rao stomped the ground which literally shook the small earth of the woods.All the birds flew away because of this sudden shake . He said ,“ Lets end this.I am very much bored.”
