CURTAIN OF VINES

Chapter 1

It was an intense afternoon, Seung Han Myung sat at the doorway of the dojo watching his students train almost everyday. He dedicated his passion in training in bringing out the best from his students , to serve his country as well Watching the young appreantices practicing how to handle to use swords and spears, in the corner of the kitchen door

A pair of lovely eyes stared at her father, while tapping a large serving spoon on the wall. Disappointed, Mina stared at the platter of cooked rice and sauted beef with some garnish,that she served an hour ago, her father didn't even touched his lunch, it must have been cold already, his father too busy coaching his students the proper way of training, She sighed and didn't mind her father ,

She's used to it almost every day being neglected, but inspite of it she's happy to see her father's smile, except for one thing that really make her feel inferior. Seung Han Myung' s best student Hwang sung kyung , She Despises him especially his expressionless treatment towards her, making her feel inferior, what's more Hwang would always spend the whole day claiming his father's attention, her father's liking for him and along with many others, Especially Hwang was accepted in the costal defense force, the day before a letter arrived when her father ecieved it he was very happy for hwang and managed to prepare a farewell feast for him, somehow, Mina was envy of him, treating him like his own son, while mina, just tend to his father and help around the chores at home.

Mina sighed deeply while washing the dishes and her thoughts about her father, She would always dreamt that inspite of being a young lady, she would carry out her father's honor. Mina's drifting thoughts carried her away not noticing the water was dripping all over the floor, she pulled out a rag and wipe it across the floor. If her father sees it. He will scold at her again.,

After the kitchen chores. Mina looked at the pail of empty water "Oh, Boy, I guess I have to get some by the well.. I wish father wouldn't mind me the one to fetch it" She said to herself

She took off her apron, and re do her hair tied along her back MiNa stepped outside of the kitchen, while she noticed her father staring at Hwang lecturing about some proper moves and demonstrated his own moves, to the other students to relate to his exhibiton . She pretended not to be too impressed when she approached her father, Seung Han Myung, then went to her attention

"Father, it's been two hours you haven't touch your lunch!!.. make that a habit then you'll be weaker than a stary kitten ". she sat beside her father.

"I'm sorry my dear. You're really like your mother" He said.

" Mi Na, hasn't Hwang been better every day training hard even though he didn't need any to train more?" Mi Na's father asked her compliment

" Father!.. please help yoursel!" Mina insisted, at her father laughed at her. Hwang sat in-between their conversation.

"Mina, don't be too hard on him!" Hwang began to interrupt their discussion

"Listen , Hwang, I'm just reminding him to finish his meal. You don't even know what are we discussing here." Mina raised an eyebrow at him

"I see, I didn't mean to offend you" Hwang smiled at mina, annoyed she just rolled her eyes away from him and gave him a frown.

Seung Myung Laughed at mina "My Girl. okay.. It's fine.So what was that you wanted?"

"Well , I'll fetch some water, there's none left for this evening . if you don't mind"

"No, not you..."

"But I'll be fine.. Besides there's no one else who can help me" She stood up from her knees.

"Hwang will you do it if you don't mind?" Seung myung asked hwang and he nodded

"Mina,. Don't bother.. Hwang will do it later" Her father insisted

"Ah. I can do it.. It doesn't make me weak at all.. I'll be fine" Mina said and went to her room to get her Zanbatou.

"Hwang will do it.." Her father said " And.. you're not going outside with that spear!"

Mina didn't listened but she smiled and waved to her father..and quickly left so she wouldn't get scolded.

Seung Myung sighed and held his hand on his head " Mina is so stubborn, Hwang please accompany her.. She might ran into another fight" Hwang smiled and obeyed his sensei and went after the stubborn girl.

*+*+*+* "Hwang, hwang, hwang!, Why does he have to be in the picture, I don't want any BROTHER giving me others!" Mina mumbled and kicks a stone away from her direction

"He's annoying!!!!.she mumbles and as she got at the well she placed her spear leaning beside the tree and pulled the empty bucked out from the well, she poured a couple of times, till the container was full, mina wiped the excess hair dripping on her perspiring face. "hey Little lady. Nice Spear you have there. you won't be needing it!" two couple of man approached her. Mina took her zanbatou and aimed it at them " Leave me, I know how to handle it perfectly before, I cut something from both of you!"

The two strangers laughed at her, but they were persistent, and was about to take on mina, luckily hwang appeared and drag the other man offthe ground from his collar

"You heard her" hwang gave them a waring look and he let go of thestarnger as the two vagabond ran off.

"What are you doing here?" Mina shot back at hwang, then hwang took her zanbatou from her hands

"Hey! Keep your hands off my spear!" mina tried to reach even jumping from hwang reach as he held her spear high above her reach.

"You shouldn't bring it out here. you lure thieves.. " He said

"What is it to you!. mind your own life. don't say it to me I'm just a woman!. I'm strong you know!" Mina pushed his chest with her finger, trying to insult him, but hwang didn't mind her blabbering and he continued mina's task fetching water.

"You're not even , listening GO AWAY!, and I'll bring the containers at home!" Mina yelled at him

"Really?" Hwang gave her a sly smile and handed her the handle of the container.

Mina tried to carry the heavy container, again, and again, but it didn't moved not even off the ground . hwang laughed at her and continued filling the container of water, Embarrasedly, mina just sat on a small block beside the well, pouting and annoyed, she just let hwang do the fetching.

Hwang looked over her direction and continued to what was he doing, mina just sighed, then a little boy went to her

"Hi mina.I thought you wouldn't come" The little boy said then a group of children appeared before her. Hwang looked over his shoulder

"Com'n mina continue your story bout the legendary sword!" a litteld boy eagerly asked her mina, giggled and looked at hwang who was busy finishing her chores, obviously he somehow was listening but it didn't bother her, she knew it's not hwang to indulge his attention to children's games.

Mina Began to tell the legendary tale at the children who gathered around her, she didn't mind hwang.. as soon as she finished mina insisted the children that she will finish it some other time." Bye mina!. " a liitle girl waved at her mina waved back and she smiled as they part.

"You certainly know. how to deal with children" Hwang said and mina looked at him he was done even before mina could finish her story telling she didn't notice.

"What interest you, and have long have you've bee listening to my storytelling?" she raised an eyebrow at him with her snobbish look.

Hwang didn't made a comment at her and carried the containers back to the dojo "Let's go home." He insisted

" Hey!. What is it to you!, you maybe think that I'm not capable.. A girl is that it!!!"

Hwang ignored her while they're walking back home "You're too shallow!. see those children's interest! You don't even mind it".

"I've listen to your petty story!" he answered

"It's not a PETTY STORY! It's true, you KNOW IT there's a war out there, because of the chaos the soul edge transformed!" She argued

"Mina..." Hwang paused "I know. you're a spirited woman.. But the soul edge is out of your league.. and I don't have time for this!" Hwang walked further away from her. Making her so upset. " In Capable!.. He thinks I'm just fantasizing.. He knows it's true!" Mina said to herself.

That night at the dinner table, Seung Myung invited Hwang to have supper with them. Mina doesn't seemd pleased with it, especially regarding what Hwang remarked on her that afternoon, by the well.

Hwang didn't mind her as mina's father was talking with him about his immediate leave for the Coastal defense. "Hwang , you're always welcome here, whenever you return from The costal defense force" Sueng myong said.

"Sensei, Thank you, but It's enough already I'm so grateful you took me like your own son, not only a student" Hwang remarked

"Why shouldn't you be?.." Seung myong said, mina looked at her father questioningly "Mina. I think you should beaware of this.." His father said Mina adjusted her seat wondering what was her father was going to say.

"Sensei, It's not necessary." Hwang exclaimed, Seung myong patted him on the shoulder. And looked at mina. Mina felt uneasy, it doesn't seemed to sound good

" Hwang, you will heir my position to look after the dojo"

"Why Him!..I'm you're daughter" mina was surprised

"Mina. It's yours too" Her father began , hwang felt uncomfortable to what will his sensei was going to say.

"Hwang, mina. I bless you both with my consent.. but for now I chose hwang for you" Her father said, mina chuckled and remained motion less, hwang can't even looked at her, feeling embarrassed as well. "Sensei, I'd better be going, I'll be back tomorrow" Hwang insisted

" Father, why.. Now I'll just know I'm bethroed? Letme prove my self to you,.. I have plans.."

"Hwang will take care of you!"

"I don't need to father, beside I'm determined"

"You're not to face such things, whatever you're thinking"

"am I no good because I'm a woman?" her voice began to change into a weaker tone

"mina, don't speak to your father that way" Hwang said to her

"You don't know me.. Even about the soul edge!" Mina shot back at hwang

"What foolishnees is this?... what Soul blade. MINA YOU'RE STUBBORNESS IS GETTING TO FAR"

"Father I have no Intentions. of Searching for the Sword"

"No intentions YET!... nothing would please me.. but to see you act ore like a lady" Seung myung lowered his voice and sighed . mina tried to control her tears.

" I apologigize, I should get some rest, good evening gentlemen" Mina stood up from her seat loosing her appetite. She doesn't seemed pleased.

*+*+*+*+*

"I have to prove I'm worth everything not as un capable, but I can dream more to it" Mina's thoughts swirled in her mind as she looked at the stars in the sky, tears trickled on her cheek "Why does everything should be decided before me.. Why him? Even hwang would think I'm just another weakling girl.. Not I'm not, and I don't wish to stay with him, he doesn't think of me as a woman either, but a little girl!' Mina eyes gazed at the small pond outside of their home and she threw a small pebble in the pond.

"I. do believe you" Hwang appeared behind the porch.

"What are you doing here?.what about it ? you believe about that sword?" she looked at him coldly Hwang made his seat by the pool beside her " I believe in that too..Don't make a fool of yourself" Hwang said at her, mina gave him a smirked.

"Mina.. I'll be leaving this is my last night here.." he said

"So?. leave if you want..fifnish yourplans."

"Before I go.. Don't do anything stupid..while I'm away, I'm sworen to protect you"

"Since when did you care? You didn't think of me as a woman either. just like a snotty little runt!" she mumbled

"Mina." hwang pinched her cheek and smiled, "Aww!! What's that pinch for.."

" Every day I watched you telling those kids your stories, I followed you whenever you go to the market.. I believe in you.. About that soul edge.. that's why I'm going to search for it." Hwang said

"I'm going to search for it!.. You know I'm planning to do so. and don't try to stop me either!" mina said

"No.. and I'm going to stop YOU!" Hwang gave her a sly smile and pinched her cheek ,mina shoved his hands away from her "That's painful! No you're not getting on my way!" mina yelled at him, hwang just laughed

"Who's gona stop me YOU?... I know where to find it..." Hwang smiled at her, it was the first time mina saw hwang made a conversation with her practically, he was acting sweet.. "I'm going to miss that cute face." Hwang looked at her eyes deeply , it made her uneasy..

"He's just making fun of me.. even teasing me!" she said to herself.but her eyes met his that indulged her thoughts into him..made her feel awkward.him looking at her like an attraction " Don't look at me that way...It's make me feel uncomfortable" mina exclaimed.

Hwang stood from his feet and took his pack and turned away from her. "I guess.. I should be expecting you soon... I know you're persistent ..... That's what I like about you" Hwang said as if he was sure she would be doing it so and left

Mina was so surprised to hwang..." He knew what will I do..I'm not un capable, let's wait till he sees it!, .. he's even trying to flirt with me too!!!!" mina said to herself, but part of her felt warm in the depth of her body... she was blushing thinking off hwang's.. now she's beginning to like him. just when he left.
