Kenshi was escorting a noble's daughter to edo, he looked around keeping an eye out for any signs of trouble, it was quite really quite well apart from the noble's daughter who complaind quite a bit. Starting to see why the others didn't want this job, bushes rustled and then bandits suddenly ambushed them.
Ah crap Kenshi unsheathed his sword as the bandits charged, they wore tattered clothes and were using knives and cheap looking swords.
The first bandit riased the sword above his head and slashed down wards, however Kenshi was faster than the bandit and was already past him Your too slow even for me blood sprayed the mans side as Ken slashed as he walked past the man. The other two stopped and backed off, Kenshi stood his ground, keeping his feet a good width apart and stared at the two bandits.
The two bandits looked at each other We can take 'im theres two of us one said, they both nodded.
Ken chuckled You can send one hundred of idiots like you but it will end the same , the two bandits charged at him yelling as they did, Kenshi moved his blade side ways as he made his move, slashing one bandits throat and the other dropped his weapon and ran.
He ran away but only to get distance as he went for a knife and threw it, ken didn't take his eyes off the man and blocked the knife with his sword, the bandit ran towards Ken throw another knife and again Ken blocked it but gave the bandit an opening.
The bandit got another knife and thrusted it towards Ken's stomack, grining Kenshi steped to the side and stabed the bandit in the spine as he walked back to the carrage where the nobel daughter was and continued to journey.
It was hours later as they were taking a break by a small body of water as the noble daughter stayed in the carrage as she was sleeping and Kenshi was resting his legs from all the walking Ah ah shes quite now he stood up and petted the horses head Good boy.
Suddenly something whizzed by his head head as Kenshi reacted he moved his head tot he side just narrowly dodging a poisoned needle. What the ? he grabed his sword still in its sheath Damn it show your self two ninjas came out from the shadows Hmph you don't seem to be that worn out, those damn bums didn't do their job right.
Ken unsheathed his sword Those bandits, were your goons !? he gripped the sword's hilt with both hands Two of them, and they maybe well trained.
The two ninjas revealed there weapons very sharp looking knives, they didn't think much of the police man infront of them, Kenshi felt a bit of sweat on his hands these two men were trained in killing people, he knew this he maybe a bit of an idiot but he atleast knew this. A leaf from a tree slowly floated to the ground, when it finaly landed the men attacked, Ken stood his ground and blocked one of the ninja's knives. but the other went to stab at Kens neck, luckly Ken had atleast enought speed to dodge the attack, as he moved backwards.
Panting a little Ken had gotten into his stance again C close the ninjas looked at each other Hmph lucky brat they both nodded as one ran towards the carrage Oh no you don't Ken went to move and attack the man but was interupted by the other Damn he said as he swung his sword knocking away a poison needle.
That didn't work last ti suddenly he felt a sharp pain in his back What he felt around and felt a needle there C crap he feel to his knees as the two ninjas walked up to him Heh heh that worked like a treat.
Ken's vision was kinda blurry as the posion worked, it wasn't a leath as hell posion it was only distorting his vision and making his sense's weaker Bas..tards he weakly said, the ninjas turned there back on him as they walked towards the carrage.
Ken looked at his blade and gotten an idea [i[Oh god work[/i] he cut his arm, the pain seemed to knock him back to normal, but not completly he stood up and charged at the ninja's, he stabed one through the spine as the other turned, Kenshi let go of the sword and tackled the other one.
Ken began to punch the man in the face Don't look down on me the ninja kicked Ken off of him, Ken was kncked onto the ground and the ninja looked at the blood on his clothes H he cut him self !? the ninja looked at his dead partner and growled a little.
Fucking brat your dead he said as he stood up and walked over to Ken with knife in hand, Ken looked up and saw the ninja, so he rolled over and got back up I ain't going down easily he said as he backed off. The ninja charged, but only to have Ken punch him in the face, Even without a sword I am not helpless Ken had his fists up and with no fear in his eyes but the blood was still dripping down his arm and the ninja knew that Ken wouldn't last long.
The ninja grinned all he needed to do was wait and Ken would be way to slugish do to anything, however this knowlage made the ninja put his gaurd down and in that moment Ken tackled him, without knowing the ninja's gaurd was down. He used this opening to get his sword, taking it out the spine of the dead ninja, while his partner got up and charged at Ken, who turned round and thrusted his sword into the gut of the last ninja standing.
Ken panted as he fell onto his knees once more, he cut a bit of cloth of his clothes and used it as a bandage to stop the bleeding Heh heh I d did it he fell over and passed out. He awoke to something soft, he could only see a blurry shape of a person, he couldn't tell who it was but he nodded off back to sleep.
When he awoke, he was next to the horse and it was morning W what he wondered if it was a dream he had or if it was real , but that had to wait untill after he was done with the job.
As he reached the destination he looked at the carrege and said Okay where here the nobeles daughter walked out of the carrage, she was beautiful and she walked by Ken and kissed him on the cheek and whispered something in his ear, as she walked away Ken blushed like mad [i]Oh god I loved this job[/b] he walked away smiling like an idiot.
