We have entered the year 819 A.D. and it’s also been seven years since that horrible second war…and it’s been seven years since Onna’s death. Hojo and I still mourn our baby sister’s death and we want to get revenge. Jingu and I had another daughter around 815 A.D. Her name is Kiatsu and we made sure to protect her so that she won’t end up like Kaisei. She’s so much like her big sister…always so cheerful and strong. I miss Kaisei so much…Jingu and I often go visit her grave. We’re still grieving her too.
I was going to kill Tomoe and her warriors no matter what. I told Jingu and Hojo that I’m going alone.. they wanted to go with me, but I told them to stay and train the warriors. Jingu was worried about going alone….he has a right to be worried he is my husband…but I assured him that I will be alright.
“ Kagayaki….please come back alive sister! I don’t want to lose you either! “ she cried
“ Don’t worry Hojo, I will come back here alive! “ I smiled at her
“ Destroy that evil woman and her kingdom…Kagayaki! “
“ I definitely will!”
I got on my horse and rode off towards Yonaka Kingdom.
****
“ Empress Tomoe, I think we have a visitor…”
“ Let her in and greet her with a warm welcome! “
“ Yes…of course! “
As I rode closer towards the Yonaka Kingdom, I saw Magaru and Nagaku standing at the entrance firing arrows towards me, I slowly dodged them. My horse halted as the arrows were coming towards him, so I jumped off of him and walked slowly towards them with a cold glare.
“ If you want to see Tomoe, you’ll have to defeat us! “ They put their arrows down and took out their swords.
“ I don’t have time for games, step aside so I can kill Tomoe! “ I yelled
“ Look how eager she sounds, sister…she really thinks she can kill Tomoe! “ they laughed
“ My business is with Tomoe, but since you two were the ones involved in my friend and daughter's death…I shall deal with you two first! “
“ Sis…she thinks that she can defeat us! “ Magaru chuckled
“ I will…” I got into my samurai stance and pointed my sword in their direction.
“ Oh she’s very serious Magaru…it’s quite comical! “ The two sisters started laughing again…with their guards down I charged at them both and struck them in the shoulder and their stomachs. Magaru and Nagaku look at me with fear in their eyes, they both fell to the ground after I released the sword out of their stomachs. They began to talk to me in a weak tone.
“ So..it looks like she actually defeated us! “
“ A weakling…defeated us sis! “
“ It is the two of you who are the weak ones! You blindly worked for someone who is weak themselves! “
“ You won’t be able to defeat Rakkan and Panku…they’re much stronger than us! “
“ Rakkan was the one who killed your daughter and sister. “
“ Then I shall kill them both…especially that one! “ I walked towards the entrance and I slowly turned to look at the two sisters. I said to them
“ You both should leave this place and live a peaceful life…there’s no use in serving Tomoe! She most likely will be dead and you’ll be lost without her! “ The two sisters stared at me with a blank expression. They didn’t think about what would happen if I did kill her. They just looked at each other and started crying. I then faced the entrance and saw the door was open. As I walked inside Yonaka Kingdom, there stood Rakkan ready to fight me.
“ SO IT WAS YOU THAT KILLED MY DAUGHTER AND SISTER? YOU DIRTY SCUM! I WILL KILL YOU! “
“ You should have seen the fear on your daughter’s face…it was so lovely to look at! “ She smirked at me
“ Curse you! You will be in the underworld soon! “ tears streamed down my face.
“ Well then, come kill me! “ she chuckled
“ I certainly will! “
I charged at Rakkan with full speed and struck her in the chest. She smirked at me and started coughing up blood. I started to push the sword close to her heart and Rakkan started violently screaming loudly at the pain she was feeling.
“ How does it feel? Do you love the pain? That’s exactly the same screams you heard from my daughter and Sae! Now you will suffer the same fate! “
I pushed the sword deeper into Rakkan’s chest and then stopped until she was no longer screaming. I kicked her to the ground and hovered down to her lifeless body.
“ Enjoy your life in the underworld you dirty scum! “ I stood up and saw the warrior named Panku trembling in fear. She gave me a very angry glare…she then backed up slowly until she felt something poke through her back. She slowly turned her head and saw it was Mioa. Panku asked her why she did and she whispered to her “ My dear, you’re not supposed to let your enemy see you fear them…you’re weak and deserve to join your comrade! “ she pulled the sword out of her and she fell to the ground. I continued to glare at that evil witch…of course she would do something like that! She threw the sword on the and walked up towards me. I pointed my sword at her face and smirked at me.
“ Now is your chance to kill me Kagayaki! I killed your parents…don’t you want your revenge? “
“ I will deal with you later! Your evil daughter is going to die first! “
“ You won’t be killing my family…until you get through me! “ Sankaku walked up towards me.
“ I’m here to kill Tomoe! The both of you move out of my way! “
“ If you defeat me…..then you shall see Tomoe.”
“ Then let’s stop talking and begin fighting! “
We both began to charge at each other…that is until a small object shaped like a dagger is shown flying towards Sankaku. It struck him through the throat. Mioa started screaming and trembling uncontrollably. He slowly turned to look at Mioa and gave her a weak smile, then he turned to see that Tomoe was behind him. He tried to slowly take out his sword and clutched at his throat trying to talk to her.
“ T-Tomoe….why? I….thought..you wanted….us..to be a…family? “ tears streamed down his face
“ You actually thought that I completely trusted you? You’ll end up hurting my mother again… you don’t deserve to live! Have fun in the underworld..father! “ she grinned
Mioa sat there in shock at what her daughter had done. Tomoe glanced over at her mother and threw the dungeon keys to her and told her to leave the kingdom.
“ Let Aunt Meiyo out and the both of you leave this kingdom! Never ever return here…if you don’t leave…I’ll let Kagayaki kill you! “ she looked over at me
“ But Tomoe…what about you? “
“ Don’t worry about me, mother! Leave now! “ she yelled
Mioa got up and ran towards the dungeon area. Tomoe looked over at me and smirked.
“ Why did you let that wicked woman live? “
“ She can live a normal life with her annoying sister and maybe they’ll both get what’s coming to them! “
“ You’re a scum for killing your own father! “
“ He abandoned my mother while she was pregnant with me. Then he came here seven years later to try to become a family? He didn’t deserve to live at all! “
“ You don’t deserve happiness! Everything you touch rots and I hope it’s you that rots soon Tomoe! “
“ Your words mean nothing! Once I’m done with you…the citizens are next! “
“ You’re such a wicked person!”
“ Whatever! I’m a better Empress than my mother. She has gotten soft and I will finish it! “ she started laughing
“ Enough talking! Let’s begin the battle! “
“ I’m going to destroy you once and for all Kagayaki! “
“ I’m going to make you pay for all the people you’ve taken away from me! I will not show you any mercy! “
Tomoe and I face off and we both take out our swords. I was determined to kill Tomoe for everything she had done and I will make sure that she will feel the pain that I’ve always felt. As we both charged at each other..we were equally matched once more. This annoyed Tomoe very much so she slashed me in my right shoulder, kicked me in the face, and I fell to the ground. Tomoe walked towards me and grabbed me by the throat, squeezing it tightly causing me to make loud choking noises. I kept trying to gasp for air but she kept squeezing tighter.
“ Do you enjoy this pain? This is the end for you Kagayaki! “
“ I…won’t die by your hands! “ I said weakly
“ Oh, but you will very soon! And you’ll be joining your daughter, sister, and your foolish friend who took the attack for you! I bet she’s still floating in the ocean! “ Tomoe chuckled evilly
“ Kagayaki…please come back alive sister, I don’t want to lose you either! “
Those words by Hojo started to play constantly in my mind again. I didn’t want to leave my sister and my family. I had to come up with an idea fast or Hojo might lose me too.
“ Your life ends now Kagayaki! “ she squeezed my neck tighter
My eyesight started to get really blurry…I started to black out. Tomoe had a very stunned expression on her face…she finally killed me. She threw me on the ground and smirked knowing that I’m finally dead.
