Yin and Yang

 

Taboo 2

~~~~

 

A 5 year old girl with brown hair with black streaks and crimson red tips was panting because of the battle she was engaged in. Blood matted her hair together as some hair came loose and fell in her face. She was wearing a simple black tang top and black training pants. On the back of her tang top was a yin yang. She gripped the katana in her hands tightly and her eyes charcoal eyes narrowed. Her breathing finally calmed down as she listened for any sound or movement from her opponent.

 

She snapped her head to her left as she heard a small tap. She threw her katana to the spot where she thought her opponent would be.

 

“Arg…..”

 

There was dead silence. She walked over to where her katana was. She found it imbedded in her opponents chest where the heart should be. Her hand grabbed the hilt of the now bloodied katana and pulled it out of the now dead opponent.

 

No sound was made as she walked to the other end of the room where the doors were located. She opened the doors to see Damien, her father and Kai-sama.

 

She bowed in front of Kai.

 

“Did you kill every last one of them?” came Kai's cold and harsh voice.

 

“Yes.” was her short answer.

 

“Good, the sun is setting, Shadow your training is done for today.” With that said Kai walked away to the center of Zetsumeigakure.

 

Zetsumeigakure is a ghost-like village. Everyone wears the proper Hitai-ite which has the symbol of death (look in Taboo 1 for the link for a picture) upon it. Everyone has emotionless, gloomy, sad, or cold looks upon their faces and everyone wears dark clothing.

 

 

Zetsumeigakure is known as the Village of Death and is greatly respected and feared by other Villages. The leader of Zetsumeigakure is Kai-sama who has been running the village for 7 years now. He runs the Village without mercy. He is pretty cold and expects all children of the Village should be at the jonin level by age 10. If they were not they were punished.

 

Shadow and Damien walked through the all most empty streets of Zetsumeigakure. Those who saw Shadow and Damien quickly hid or went as fast as they could into their homes. Everyone in the village knew of Shadow's reputation. They knew she was one of the `Chosen Ones' as villagers would say.

 

The guards of the Village's gate opened the gates for Shadow and Damien. They both quickly walked out of the Village and started through the dead forest near the Village. They traveled on a hidden trail and were silent the entire time until Shadow spoke up.

 

“Father?”

 

Damien looked down at his daughter. “Yes, Shadow?”

 

“Why?”

 

Damien looked down at his daughter with regretful eyes. He knew that she knew of the agreement but still she wondered why it had to be her and her sister.

 

“Shadow…” he said as sadness entered his voice.

 

“I know….never mind.”

 

The two continued toward there home where Shadow's sister and mother would be waiting for them.
