Author: I own Every Character in this story, yet if those names are taken then they are not mine. But this is MY story and I take credit for it, BUT... Uhm.. well some of these characters are an inspiration of a mixture from some Samurai movies... Yea...

Chapter One:

My Story Begins Here

'Feudal Era Japan...

One man can withstand one's cruelty, but a million can't withstand the coldness and cruelty of one man.

One man that reign power over half the lands in one ever lasting battle of strength.

And this man goes by the name of Kusanagi Kero.

A samurai with unbeatable strengths, knowledge and skill; it seemed as though he was born as monster of the lands.

But this man faded 10 years ago in one blow of a legendary warrior that opposed him.

Both seemed to have vanished into mist. But Kusanagi Kero had spoken a last sentence to threaten our lands.

"I shall return... And for my return the whole country shall be in my grasp... I promise you that!"

Everyone seemed to have feared the threat, but soon faded when the whole decade passed.

No one dared to enter the forbidden village of where Kusanagi Kero's ashes and tainted cruelty shall keep haunting.

Today is the anniversary of his death; I do not understand why people celebrate it?

He was a vile man yet they celebrate his death as if it were his birthday!

What's bad about me is that... I was born on the same day and time yet another year.

Back then I was celebrating my 9th birthday, till he came and attacked us.

But on this 10th year of his death... some foolish person revived the man...

And that foolish person was me.

Yes, on my birthday I was dared to enter the tainted village where his evil laughter echoes through each rotten straw house, and his soul still walking its dark lonely streets.

My name is Hyoga Kyo, first in line heir to regain the chair of which will become leader of the clan of which out of 10 other clans, samurai's are originated from.

And since I was 15 I was already being taught to become the great leader and fighter of the clan.

But I was sent off into exile by one mistake...

To regain myself I must annihilate the one man that returned from the depths of Hell...'

"Kyo... You can't leave! Can you?"

Kyo glanced over his shoulders and nodded; his blade at its case and his bag of supplies at his grasp.

"Dear we shouldn't let him leave like this! He's still young and is not ready!"

"No... He must suffer the consequence of what he did. Kyo knew not to enter the forbidden zone"

"No Mother... I understand. I promise I will return once I defeat Kero and return with his head as proof the man has been defeated."

Kyo stood and gulped before he sighed as he was stepping out of the village's borders.

'The world is a dangerous place... Find the warrior of whom Kero became in conflict with and let him guide you through this... Good luck son'

"This isn't so bad. I mean it's only 15 metres away from home... but it's too late to return though... Come on Kyo toughen up" Kyo spoke to himself as he held his items tightly and secured; he was alone, headed to an unknown village where the greatest warrior had resided for 10 whole years. Even though no one's got proof he still lives.

"M-My Lord... W-We did not expect you to return s-so-"

Kero grasped the neck of his ex-comrade and said, "You expect me to believe that."

With more pressure the man spilt blood onto the floor and bled to eternal darkness.

Kero smirked, his dark red emeralds glared at each woman and servant inside his home. With a smirk his tanned skin was soon tainted in millions of red fluids of those who abandoned him...

"M-My-"

A young woman ran in with a kimono and some water with a soaked cloth in the bowl.

She knelt beside an elderly man and placed the damp cloth upon his forehead and whispered, "It will be fine grandpa"

She stared out the window and noticed at one area of the sunny day was dark, lightning bolts at each minute and gasped tipping the water down.

"H-He... Has risen"
