• Chapter One Part One: A Chaotic Reunion
    -Yoshimoto Imagawa & Sima Yi-
    (Ruins of Hojo Castle)


    Hojo Castle was dreadfully quiet since Kotaro Fuma killed the two Hojo rulers, Ujimasa and Ujitada. This thought sent chills down Yoshimoto's back. The ruins of this place were so dusty and dreadful. "So dus-..dus-...ACHOOO" Yoshi began to say, but was cut off by a important sneeze. The other members of his party glared at him.

    One of the men, Daelin Proudmoore was his name, grunted. "Calm down all of you, nothing here but old ghosts.." That didn't reassure Yoshimoto, who was more afraid of ghosts than many things. Why did they choose Yoshimoto to go anyway...

    "Old ghosts prefer have old grudges they are willing to hold against anyone, Daelin" Piped up Sima Yi, the second member of the party. Sima Yi smiled at this thought. That smile, the smile of pure evilness, frightened Yoshimoto.

    The last companion remained silent through this whole endevour. He was Sima Yi's brother-in-law, Captain Xu Zhao. Sima Yi requested that he tag along, and so he is here. Daelin dispised both Xu Zhao and Sima Yi, and made no effort to hide it.

    Walking up to the end of the hallway, the group came up to the door. Daelin reaches for the handle, but was pushed aside by Sima Yi. After a hateful stare off, they went in, led by Sima Yi. Yoshimoto brought up the rear to look at everyone's weapons.

    In Sima Yi's belt was a warfan, made of black feathers. Not a very effective weapon, but it still had uses. On Daelin's back was a great sword, that he likes to swing two-handed. Yoshimoto has seen him fight before. On Xu Zhao's back was a spear. Just a standard issue Captain's Spear. Nothing special. Yoshimoto looked at his own weapons. A Kimari Ball and Katana. Not effective as well.

    Yoshimoto finally entered the room and looked around in horror. Parts of the roof were caved in, tables were broken and overturned, vases and windows were shattered. To top the entire thing was, blood stained the floor, walls, and whatever was left of the ceiling.

    "This is where Ujimasa was murdered..." stated Daelin dully. He truelly had no interest in this place. Yoshimoto nodded at his remark and glanced around. He saw Sima Yi bent down to pick something up.

    "What'cha got there?" Asked Daelin. Sima Yi remained quiet and unmoved. "Sima Yi?" Daelin took a step closer and rested a hand on his shoulder. Yoshimoto couldn't believe the events following. In a flash, Sima Yi has his warfan out and he slashed Daelin's hand off. Daelin was left in shock before he realized what happened. When he finally noticed his bloody stump, he clutched it and fell to his knees in pain.

    "Do not. Touch me." Sima Yi said in slow sentences. Daelin grunted and closed his eyes. "Your a dead man Yi.." He said and let go of his stump and grabbed his Great Sword. He unsheathed it and brought it down in a upward arc towards Sima Yi. But he wasn't there.
