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
Ok tsukusi. I am Akihiro call me Master from now on.
Tsukusi just nods and didn't speak .
He handed the wooden sword on her .
Akihiro
Hit me all you can. I will not defend my self just hit me .
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
Think of me as your enemy!!!
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 .
After changing his clothes he went to an underground arena and participated in fight to earn money enough for him and Tsukusi to live.
That's the beginning of Tsukusi’s life.
Several Years past. TODAY is Tsukusi’s first participation in fight.
Akihiro
Remember what I told you. If you feel you will not win surrender ok ?
Even after three years she never learn to talk much. She speak whenever she's asks.
Her expressionless face and empty eyes never changed .
