OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Mizuki hurry up before we are late for dinner!" I heard my brothers voice ring from across the clearing.
"Coming brother!" I said taking my blade out of the tree I was training on.
It didn't take much for me to take the blade out. It wasn't sharp enough for it to go to far in but it was sharp enough to do some damage. I couldn't wait for the day I graduated the academy and got a true weapon. One that could do damage. Then I could help protect our village, like my father and brothers.
I started running across the open plane. I see my brother talking to someone and I slow my passe.I see him nod and the guy he was talking to disperse. I walked up to him."Who was that brother?" I asked.
He looked at me and smiled. "I think you're seeing things Mizuki. There isn't any one here but you and I."
"But there was-"
"Maybe you've been out in the sun to long." He feels my forehead and nods. "Yep that is exactly the problem." He grabs my arm and starts pulling me towards the direction the house is in. "Come now, don't need you getting sick."
"But brother.." He stops and frowns at me.
"Mizuki, seeing things is not a good way to become a assassin or a samurai or even a ninja. If you start seeing things now, you will only get worse and the academy will not except you." He started walking again, pulling me along. "Now come on. I don't want to be late for dinner."
I tried to keep up with his passe but his strides where so long it seemed like I was running rather than walking. I looked up at his face and noticed that his usual fun, happy face was gone and was replaced by a serious face that seemed to be not his own. It kinda scared me to see him like this. It made me uneasy for some reason. Like he had to do something that he didn't want to do.
When we reached the house he dropped my arm and headed to his room with out a word. I just stood, looking after him in concern. I heard the bell ring for dinner and I quickly walked to my room and got changed into something clean. Heading to the dining room a saw my brother walk out of his room. His face was a mask now. No emotion what so ever. He didn't even look at me as he walked into the room before me. I sat down next to him.
No talk came over the table other than the asking of how everything was going for my brother at the academy. He was about to graduate and once he did he was able to help my Father and my elder brothers with the protection of the village.He was one of the youngest ever to graduate the academy. My father expected much from him.
I helped my mother clean up the dishes.
"You start school tomorrow Mazuki." My mother said handing me a dish.
"Mhm.."
"Are you not exited?"
I looked up and smiles at her. "Oh yes I am mother. Very!"
She handed me the last dish and patted my head. "You should be getting to bed. Tomorrow is a big day."
"Yes Mother." I said putting away the last dish.
I walked out of the kitchen and headed to my room. As I was passing my brothers room I heard him talking to someone. I peeked in and saw the same guy from earlier. My brother shook his head and the guy seemed mad, gesturing with his hands to epifisis whatever he was saying. My brother only shook his head and said something quietly. The guy stopped gesturing with his hands and seemed to sigh. He nodded and went to the window. He turned around before he jumped and said something else. Nodding my brother started for his door and I hurried away to my room. I quickly closed my door and headed to my bed. I fell asleep wondering about tomorrow and what is going on with brother.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so it begins. Sorry it took so long to get this up...I kept getting stuck on how to rewrite it. Then I would start reading the story that this is off of then get to the end of it and then start writing off that. Yeah anyway I should also put his name in insted of having her always say brother but I can't really think of a good name for him. I guess it will come..Anyway what you think so far?
