~ III ~ Heiji and Akira
"NO! That's ..."
"Akira!", Shinji looked up at his sister: "Please calm down."
"What? You can't be serious! That's a ninja! I refuse to listen to him for a second. Those dishonorable day laborers have dared to enter our country! It's an insult to our dojo that they are dirty with them." Feet in here ", Akira kept getting upset.
She and Shinji had been called into the dojo and learned that three ninjas now had free access. Heiji was there to clarify the subject. Sen and Sasuke had no information, only the name and what they had heard and their experiences, but Shinji and Akira should find out everything Heiji already knew, which would give them an advantage.
Akira was all wrong with that. She was like Kyoko against everyone who called themselves ninja or shinobi.Her reasons were the same as those of her mistress and so she was just angry. A ninja should instruct them ...
"If you are not calm right away, Akira, then I will apply for your release!" Shinji warned his sister.
"Not necessary," objected Heiji: "If this little samurai doesn't want to reveal his secret, he'll listen."
"What? I don't understand ...", Akira stared at him: "What do you mean?"
"Should I really say that, Aki-chan?", Heiji tapped Akira on the forehead: "Not everyone believes what they see."
"But that is…"
"Everyone out!", Shinji interrupted his sister and stood up: "Out with you, but quickly!"
"Yes, sir!", The samurai and servants in the room followed immediately, so that in the end there were only Heiji, Akira, Shizun and Shinji in the room.
Shinji waited a moment and took a deep breath, then gave Heiji a very dark look: "Tell me what you mean!"
"Take it easy, I'm not going to betray Akira!", Heiji replied and caught Akira's arm, who wanted to thunder in his stomach:" What's that going to be? "
"What do you mean? I have nothing to hide!", Akira hissed at him: "I'm a samurai! I have no secrets, in contrast to a dishonorable ninja like you!"
"Also not that you are not a man, but a girl?", Shizun asked with crossed arms.
"What?", Akira suddenly turned pale.
"Yes ... a little girl who wanted so much to play samurai. You are not different. A tip, adjust your voice and better tie yourself off. Or you can learn the art of dressing up properly", Heiji grinned at her and pulled her down the headband: "It's a shame you're hiding behind men's clothes!"
"Now is enough!", Shinji drew his sword: "Let go of my sister, IMMEDIATELY! Or I'll shovel your tongue out."
"Take it easy, Samurai! Heiji is my loyal guardian of suffering, he does nothing to her and does not tell her", Shizun intervened soothingly."You stupid ninja! Did you spy on me," Akira burst out. Up until now she had always passed for a boy. Nobody had ever had a doubt about it and now? A ninja running along, without honor in the body, had exposed them ...
"Nope ... you can see that!", Heiji shrugged.
"And what are you going to do?", Shinji wanted to know. He was unsure that Akira's secret was now known outside of the family. These two could blackmail them at any time and Akira would have to face death for this masquerade and intended deception. She had sneaked in and was a samurai, something women were forbidden to do.
"Nothing, we're not going to reveal it, are we, Heiji?" Shizun gave Heiji a piercing look.
"Why should it? It's not my problem if she does that. Another plus point for us Shinobis. We accept women in our ranks. Since we're on the subject. You two will compete against Sen and Sasuke. A girl and a boy, they are younger than you, which actually gives you an advantage.You are looking for a murderer, he called himself Homaru when we last heard from him. He is tall and has dark hair. He is trained in the martial arts of the samurai and has also mastered some ninja techniques. As far as we know, he wanted to murder the masters of this province. As far as I know, this murder is supposed to be carried out in three weeks, i.e. early February. We don't know that much more, "said Heiji and stretched:" You know more than the two of us, have fun! "
“Hey, that's a joke !?” How are we supposed to find a murderer if we don't know anything about him? You surely know more! What has he already done and how does he go about it? ", Akira annoyed about this sparse information.
"He has already murdered six esteemed feudal lords. We don't know who hired him, only that he certainly didn't attack these noble men for fun. And we can't really say how he works. He just always chooses a different type and way.He doesn't know yet that we know he's targeting Plogo. We have an advantage, which also means that everything that has been said here remains between the four of us. For everyone else, it's just a competition between samurai and ninja, to pass the time between the princess and me, "explained Shizun:" Only the two ninja that I compete for me will know something, but less than you. "
"What kind of ninjas are these?" Shinji wanted to know.
"You know her, the girl that Kagome took in. He belongs to her. The two have a tense relationship with each other, but will certainly do a good job," said Heiji.
"That? The girl? She's 15!" Shinji paused.
"She's a middle class ninja, just like him. I think they come from pure ninja families and have known each other for a while. I don't know exactly about the two of them, I met them a few hours ago and hired them," said Shizun: "Do you know what Heiji?""Sasuke is from a very respected ninja clan and Sen is from a clan that is closely friends with his. I think they are a more or less well-rehearsed team, like the two of you, only that you know each other a lot better. What between I don't know, the two of them have to work that out. So any questions? ", Heiji shrugged and looked at Akira:" Don't look so horrified, it disfigures your pretty face. If you absolutely have to be a woman If you want to fight, then you should have joined the Shinobis and not the Samurai. After all, if you are unmasked, they will kill you. "
"I don't have to accept that! Compete against me! HERE and NOW!", Akira thundered at him.
"Aki!", Shinji held on to her: "That won't do anything, you might be finished with your training, but he has a lot of experience. If you want to prove that a samurai can do more, then calm down and let us have this competition You have to keep in mind that Shizun-sama and Heiji-san are guests of our master, whether you like it or not. ""But Shin! That's a cheek! I'm ..."
"I know, but Heiji-san is not that wrong. You are a woman and what you are doing here is life-threatening, if you are found out, then you are dead. Not only you, but also me and our parents will be the one for that Shinji interrupted his little sister and bowed to Shizun: "I would be happy if we could see our opponents before we start."
"Sure, I understand," Shizun nodded and whistled once.
It didn't take a minute for Sasuke and Sen to stand in the room.
"Are we dogs?" Sen growled a little bit angry.
"What's up, Shizun?", Sasuke asked just as annoyed as Sen.
"Did we bother with something?", Heiji wondered.
"As if you are seriously interested ...", Sen looked at Shizun: "So what's going on? Were there any changes in the order?"
"No, but your opponents want to see you and get to know you," Shizun replied."What? That's half a CHILD!", Akira hissed: "They are two children! Is that a bad joke? How did you come to insult us like that?"
"And I thought you were bad ...", Sasuke wondered and looked at Sen.
"Oh yeah? You're forgetting your fan club", Sen shrugged his shoulders: "I'm not one of your shooting dogs ... but far more dangerous."
"Fan club? Half the shirt? And please don't ignore me, I'm older than you two!", Akira snorted.
"Do you maybe get used to it? I've already told you 1000 times that I didn't want a fan club! What can I do if half the village is keen on me? And who's half a shirt here?", Sasuke turned to Akira and gave her a look that almost petrified her.
"Hm ...", Heiji shrugged his shoulders: "The little one has fire in his blood ... just like her."
"So you are our opponents in this competition ...", Shinji walked past Akira and held Sasuke's hand: "To a fair competition, I'm looking forward to being able to compete with real Shinobis.I've always wanted to do that. "
Sasuke looked at the hand, hesitated, but then suggested: "You can pack up now, Samurai."
"Take that back! How do you talk to my brother?", Akira interfered and didn't even notice that Shizun was already leaving.
"Aki ..." Shinji sighed.
Sasuke only looked at Akira disparagingly: "Sen, we're going."
"Since when do I have to listen to you?" Sen ran a hand through his hair.
"Because I'm older, come on!", Sasuke grabbed her hand again and they were gone again.
"How do they do that? What kind of trick is that?", Akira wanted to know.
"You never learn that," Heiji grinned at her.
"Oh yeah? Then it's a dishonorable technique!" Akira decided seriously.
"No, that is trained body control. By weights on the legs and arms and using the body's own energies, you are quite capable of such a thing. But that requires tough training that you have to go through from an early age. You know, Akira, different like us, who are only initiated into the art of the samurai from a certain age, Shinobis come into contact with it in the first years of life.Once they are able to train, their families raise and educate them. That makes some ninja clans extremely powerful, "Shinji explained and washed Akira's hair:" Heiji-san. I will trust you and the ninja honor. I have no other choice and I hope that you and the others keep their word. I don't want to see my sister strive. "
"You have my word!", Heiji assured him.
"I'll go to sleep then. Akira, you still have to tidy everything up, here and don't take too long. Mother will be waiting for you," Shinji said goodbye.
Now Heiji you
