Sister of the Shinobi, a General fanfic

Sister of the Shinobi

A/n- This is the third poem in the Shinobi series. Please read the first two poems ‘Shinobi of the Shinsengumi’ and ‘Shinobi of the Chosuu’ before reading this one, or, you can choose not to read them, and read this as an individual poem. Thank you!

The rain splashes down on the empty street

Where are you, my onee-chan?

Your duty should be finished by now

But why haven’t you come?

Wait, I see someone coming

But it doesn’t look like you

I see three people heading here

And…I see our father too.

But what is it they are carrying?

Oh…no…that’s a body…

I have a bad feeling about this

Why is everyone looking so sorry?

…………

Black…black…and white.

Funeral colors dot the hall

I stand next to your body

And the tears just start to fall

My onee-chan was the best shinobi

The Shinsengumi was proud of her

She loved her work and she loved me

I’m her little shinobi sister.

She encouraged me to train hard

She was my number one hero

I wanted to be like her

Not a pathetic zero.

No one liked me

To them I was her ‘ relation’.

“Come on, Megu-chan, you can it.”

Her words gave me elation.

But now she is gone.

Darn it, just who killed you?

Who took your life away?

I wanted your name from father

But he would only say…

“Megu-chan, he is dangerous. Do not go after him.”

I nodded my head

I said I understood

But at night his words were dim

As I took out my kunai

My mind was filled with revenge.

You killed my sister

So I’ll kill you

Her death I will avenge.

As I go into Chosuu territory

You will wonder what’s my game

I’ll say I’m the sister of the Shinobi

And Megu-chan is my name.

The end

Japanese words

Shinobi- ninja or spy

Shinsengumi- Police force in the Meiji Era of Japan

Chosuu- A rival of the Shinsengumi, that protested against a modern Japan

Onee-chan- big sister

Kunai- darts that ninja use as weapons

A/n2- The rivalry of the Shinsengumi and Chosuu in the set of poems is different from the actual historical Shinsengumi and Chosuu. The poems are loosely based on them. This for your information.
