You want to kill me?
Ha! You can't even kill my boredom!

〖 After a long, almost silent walk.. The finally arrived at the house of Shuzo and Ayame, where they just went inside, and he turned back to look at Kanami, then finally offering a smile. "Don't worry, you're not in trouble. Far from it actually." He said as he continued to walk through the halls, then arrived in the main room of their house, a place that Shuzo and Ayame also often slept because they also got to lazy to actually go to their room as he asked. "Stay here, I'll be right back." He said, excusing himself from the room as he walked a locked door, unlocking it as he stepped inside, going down a set of stairs before entering another room, where two swords seemed to hang on special displays for when they are not in use, looking at them for a moment he simply grabbed their sheaths, and then the special blade from his side, carrying the three swords back up the stairs, heading into the room once again.. Taking a deep breath as he sighed a bit, he couldn't believe he was ready to entrust Kanami with one of these swords, it had only been six years since they had started teaching her, and she had already progressed so far. She was actually ready for something like this, he couldn't be prouder of one of his students.. Slowly, he set each sheath on the ground, perfectly straight as he left a spot open for Ayame to place her special sword, once she did that, Shuzo finally spoke. "These are the four swords that we talked about in our lesson.. We brought you here because we wanted you to actually see these swords, and understand their Will.." 〗

I'll never lose..
Not as long as our promise still stands.

〖 Shuzo, listening to her question couldn't help but sigh a bit, glancing over at Ayame before he stared down at the swords, waving his arms out over them as he spoke. "Kata is still learning, while you've advanced to another level of training.. Ayame and I have heard the swords, and we believe you are ready to start training with one of these very blades." He said as he slowly placed his hand on Kurai Yoru. "Each blade speaks louder for a specific person.. Even though they are all able to connect with countless people, Kurai Yoru speaks loudest to me. Which is why it always remains by my side, it's will and my own are one in the same, and creates a connection that cannot be compared to anyone else who tries to connect with this sword." He said quietly as he took his hand off the sword, then glanced at Ayame, she also had a connection like that with Rén Zhī Jiàn, a connection that he cannot even match when he wields that sword. "In simply terms, we want to give you one of these swords, not only that.. We want to give you the one that speaks loudest to you." 〗

I'll never lose..

〖 At her first request, Shuzo paused for a moment, thinking of what may happen if it was announced to Kata that Kanami had received one of the weapons that was in today's lesson.. With how he's been feeling lately, it would be best to keep it secret from him until he was ready to received a sword.. So he only nodded. "That's doable.. The only training done with it will happen in this very house, and no where else. It'd probably be best that way." He said as he took a deep breath, letting his hand gently rest on his own sword, though there was a chance that he would lose his precious sword.. Though it wasn't likely that Kanami's Will was the same as his own, there was always a chance.. When she questioned how she would know which would speak loudest to her, and what would happen if no sword spoke to her. "You'll know which sword speaks the loudest to you by placing your hand on each sword at different times, and opening your mind to the blade.. Thinking you're own personal goal, you're own Will, and if the sword relates to that will, you will feel it.. You could either feel a strange sensation, or you will hear soft words.. Echoing, though it may not be clear what they are saying, it'll still give either of those if it can connect with your Will.. And if none speak, then perhaps your will is not clear yet, so then you would have to meditate, and think of what your will truly is, only then would we try again.. Now, let us start." He said as he let his words trail off, taking his hand off his sword as the house went silent.. Leaving Kanami to start the process. 〗

I'll never lose..

You.. Me.. We..
Us.
So we'll fall..
If we must.

〖 Kanami was glad when Shuzo agreed to try to keep the sword a secret. She was sure Kata would catch up with her soon, and then they could train together again, with a new found power. She nodded when the man explained what she would feel or hear when she connected with one of the swords, and answered her question of what would happen if she couldn't connect with them. He had such confidence in her that she would connect with a Will eventually, that she couldn't help but wonder why he seemed so sure of himself. The girl first approached Korai Yoru, since she had already heard about its Will and it seemed similar to hers. She wanted to fight to protect her friends and family, which was what Kurai Yoru wanted, wasn't it? She placed her hand gently on the sword, closing her eyes, and felt a strange sensation run through her body. It was neither pleasant or painful, welcoming or unwelcoming, just strange, and something she wouldn't be able to describe to anyone. Something low, like a muffled murmur echoed through her head, but she couldn't make anything out.

Opening her eyes, the girl moved to the next sword. So her Will wasn't the same as Kurai Yoru's. What did she fight for? She fought for her family and friends, didn't she? She fought to protect her family and friends. Kanami repeated the process with the sword Ayame had held, the strange sensation running through her body again. She couldn't make out any sounds this time, but she had words imprinted in her head. Teach and Learn. That wasn't quite what the girl 's Will was. Yes, she enjoyed learning so she could become more powerful, and she would try to teach Kata certain techniques to better him, but that wasn't her true Will. The younger Hirase opened her eyes once more, sighing silently. She hadn't been able to connect to that one either.

Moving on, she stepped over, looking at the sword known as Seirei no Kokū. She hesitantly reached out to touch it, and immediately dropped to her knees when she made contact. The sensation this sword gave off was different. It seemed cold and empty, but at the same time burning hot and horribly loud, as if she could hear the voices of Damned souls begging for forgiveness. After a moment though, the girl relaxed, for she saw that the intention of the sword was not evil. Justice. Its Will was to punish evil souls for their crimes. She understood it, but that was not quite what she was fighting for. 'I want to protect.. Not just my family and friends, but.. I want to protect the innocent.'

Rising from the floor, Kanami opened her eyes again and moved to the last blade, taking a deep breath before placing her hand on it. Once she did that, she felt another sensation, this one slightly more welcoming than the others, one that made her feel safe, but strong. The blade however, was silent. 'I.. I will do anything to protect the innocent.. To save those who cannot help themselves, that is my desire, and I will die for it if I have to.' she thought quietly, waiting a few more seconds to see if the sword responded. For a few moments, she thought she wasn't going to make a connection until she heard a voice echo through her mind.

"I want to protect, too.. Those who cannot protect themselves.."

Kanami was surprised, but her outward appearance didn't show it. She wasn't actually sure what to do next, so she gripped the sword tighter and opened her eyes, looking at Shuzo. "This one.. Teikoku Tate spoke the loudest to me.. We share the same desire." 〗

〖Shuzo crossed his arms in his lap as he watched the girl prepare herself for the test.. She was starting with his own sword, Kurai Yoru.. He watched closely as she just sat there, keeping her hand on the blade with her eyes closed.. Before they opened, and she rose silently and moved onto the second sword, he wondered what she had heard or felt from his sword.. Was he going to lose his sword? Well, if he did.. At least it would be to someone like Kanami, and not stolen in a battle. Now, she was onto the second blade.. That was Ayame's blade, but only moments later he could hear her sigh as she opened her eyes and moved away from the sword over to the third blade, one that wasn't really an official blade of either Ayame or Shuzo's, but they had the ability to use it.. So she wasn't able to connect with the first two blades? Shuzo actually had his doubts about this sword.. It and Kanami were far different, what it did looked as if it was evil, when it was actually a blade of justice to ensure those who committed crimes were rightfully punished. While watching her, he could actually tell with her facial expressions that the sword did not leave a very good feeling with her.. She could probably feel the damned souls, hear them crying out in agony as the sword punishes them.. But her expression soon went to a more relaxed, did she realize what the true intention of the sword was? To punish the wicked? Though.. As Shuzo predicted, the sword wasn't for her. She rose up and moved to the final blade, and made contact like all the others.. She actually waited a bit longer on this one than the others, though Shuzo was starting to fear that she wasn't going to connect, but she finally opened her eyes and tightened her grip on the sword.. Then when she said it, he couldn't help but smile calmly as reached his hands out to place them on the sword with her.

"I see.. I should have guessed, Teikoku Tate is a sword that wants to protect those who cannot protect themselves.. Whether good or evil, if it sees the innocence in their heart, it wants to protect them.. Because what is the point of letting someone fight in vain when they are bound to die without protection, on either side? Teikoku Tate is a sword that is willing to fight if it must, fight for it's wielder, and those the wielder holds close.. Those who are innocent, much like Korai Yoru. However it prefers a defensive approach rather than offensive like Korai Yoru.. I truly linked with Teikoku Tate in my most dire moment, my friends were fighting along my side against the creator of these blades in my.. Our.. Quest for honor, the title of the Greatest Swordsman.. My friends were falling, and I was ready to abandon such a chance to save their lives.. That's when me and the blade truly connected, and I unlocked it's true potential. " He finally stopped talking for a moment as he took a deep breath, now he was looking back at the wielder before him.. A woman who honestly wanted the same goal as him, but also wanted to make him pay for getting her sister killed.. Ayame's sister Mayumi. "The Swordswoman that held this blade before me unlocked it's true potential after something tragic happened.. The Death of a family member that she wasn't around to protect.. She wanted to protect her so much, but never seemed to finalize that as her will until the death of that family member. It was then that the two linked, and she unlocked it's true potential." Slowly, he started to take his hands off the sword, looking the girl in the eyes, when he quietly asked. "And what will you encounter to unlock it's true potential? Only time will tell, but I know you will make your Will known to the world, with Teikoku Tate. Now take this blade and make it known." 〗

I'll never lose..

〖Shuzo just smiled happily and proudly at his student as she thanked him.. This was one of the greatest moments of his teachings of their students, his student was ready for such a responsibility.. Such power that only she would be able to use.. What more could he ask for besides both of his students taking such a responsibility on? He slowly stood up with a smile on his face, picking up the two other blades while letting Ayame grab hers again as he sighed in a bit of content. "You're more than welcome, Kanami-chan.. I'll leave it to you to decide when you want to start your training."

Kata just went straight for Ayame and Shuzo's house, which actually wasn't incredibly far away from his own home, which was good since they had to spend every day together pretty much. Every so often he had to adjust Miyuki to make sure she wouldn't fall.. He really wondered what Kanami was doing with Shuzo and Ayame, had she really gotten in trouble or was it something else? Well, he'd find out soon enough.. Finally, he arrived at the side of the house, walking around as he walked by the window of the mainroom, he couldn't help but glance inside it.. Seeing Shuzo, Ayame, and Kanami sitting together, they all seemed to be smiling.. So she wasn't in trouble, then what was- .. That's when he saw it.. He saw Shuzo's sword and Ayame's sword.. And two other swords, neither he had seen before.. One Shuzo was holding, and the other.. Kanami was holding.. Four swords.. Two he had never seen before.. It was.. It was the four swords Shuzo and Ayame talked about! That meant.. "How... How could they..?" He asked as he started to grit his teeth, tears actually welling up in his eye as he closed it tightly, he felt a sharp pain.. Unlike any he had felt in a long time, but it was caused from emotional.. He was so hurt seeing this. "How could you do that after everything?!" He shouted he in his mind as he suddenly let Miyuki drop from his back, tears running down his cheek as he suddenly turned away and started to run.. Why.. How? How could they give her one of those swords!? She was three years behind him, she was younger, and he was already going through all of this! How could they give her one of them behind his back, the very least they could have done was told him she was advancing! It would have still hurt, but it was better than finding out this way! As he was running away, he couldn't keep himself from screaming. "I hate all of you!" After that, he suddenly vanished in a flashstep, he had to get away.. He had to get away from all of them!

As those words echoed from Kata, they barely reached the house.. But such words echoed in Shuzo's ears as his eyes widened and he looked towards the window, seeing a figure off in the distance before it suddenly disappeared. 'No... Kata?!' 〗

All the world needs is me.
I've got my values... so you can keep yours, alright?
I don't get people.
Never have, never will.

〖 Kanami nodded when Shuzo said she could decide when she wanted to start her training. She'd like to start as soon as possible, but would have to work around being with her brother, since she didn't want him to know about it yet. When he had caught up to her, then they could train together, and become an even better team. Perhaps Kata would connect with a sword that was remarkable at offensive techniques, and she could cover offense. The girl smiled at the thought, thinking that maybe if that could happen, her brother would actually enjoy spending time with her.

The sensation of falling backwards jolted Miyuki out of her sleep, and she immediately sat up with a yelp, then glared at Kata. "What the hell, baka?! I've told you again and again you have to wake me up gently or I'll flip out! Dropping me on the freaking ground is n-.. Kata..?" The girl stopped speaking, noticing that her friend had tears running down his eyes. Clearly something was wrong, because she had never seen him cry. Not even when he had been roughed up in the Academy and been called a monster by the other students. "Hey, what's wr-" Miyuki was cut off again when Kata screamed that he hated all of them. "Kata, wait!" Leaping to her feet, she tried her best to follow after him. After all, her father had told her to never let a troubled friend go off by themselves.

Kanami was surprised to hear her brother's voice, and even more surprised at his words. The younger Hirase was confused for a moment, until she realized with a sinking heart that Kata had seen the blade in her hand. The girl hung her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She had always assumed Kata hated her. Whenever she received praise, or did something well, he always seemed to have a shift in his mood. She knew he had tried to be nice to her, but always assumed that was just so their parents wouldn't worry. But not, her assumption was confirmed. Kata really did hate her. 'N-nii-san.. I'm sorry..' She moved to the door and opened it up, seeing Miyuki go after her brother, while she just stood in the doorway. She couldn't even feel Kata's reiatsu now, so she didn't see the point in running after him. Hopefully he would return to their house soon and she could work things out with him. 〗

〖It was the dead of night.. Silence washed over the Soul Society in an eerie dark night.. Clouds seemed to be rolling in the skies above, lightning would flash occasionally, but no thunder echoed.. Showing they were only rain clouds, that just haven't started raining yet.. Though, in all of this silence, the faint sound of light footsteps echoed through the streets of Rukongai Districts as a figure seemed to run along the roads, before a carriage began to move down the street towards it, causing it suddenly kicked off the ground and landing on a roof, now leaping along the rooftops.. Avoiding all detection as it exited the Rukon District.. Now entering an open terrain with only one road, this lead to the home of Shuzo Murakami and Ayame Zaraki. Suddenly, as the house came into view, the figure vanished from the road, only for lightning to flash again as the silhouette became visible, but once the light faded, the figure was gone again..

((I skipped to the night because no one was really Role Playing in the Soul Society, and given the Dangai, the time is probably different in the Soul Society than world of the living.)) 〗

〖Suddenly, a sword went through the keyhole of the door, forcing the lock to break rather silently before it was removed, then the door slowly creaked open, with him slowly making his way inside, letting the door stay open so he doesn't risk waking the sleeping residents while he began to sneak through the house.. His steps were silent, and he pressed himself against each wall and peered around the corner so he could see if anything was ahead.. So far, he was in the clear.. So he kept sneaking around, pressing his hands against the wall encase his fingers locked onto something, he knew there had to be a door around that would lead to wherever what he was looking for.. However, at first. He entered a room that was in the dangerzone.. Peering in, he saw a bed with two figures in it, they were actually sleeping close.. With how Shuzo and Ayame acted with each other, it was hard to believe they were actually a couple, but this was one of those times it could be seen.. Shaking his head, he moved back out of the room, letting his fingers slide against the walls again as they then locked onto another door.. This one was locked, but he didn't use the sword times time.. Instead he placed his hand on the keyhole as reishi began to form, flowing into the lock as it formed to fit the shape of the lock as the door clicked.. Perfect, now.. He opened it, and stepped down the stairs that were behind it.. He was sure this would lead to where he wanted to go.. At least.. That's what he thought.. He soon entered a room, a shrine that had a single glass case on a pedestal.. In this glass case was a sword engraved with symbols, throughout the shrine candles were lit.. Candles that never went out.. This was the seal of Muramasa..

Shuzo slept soundly, his arms wrapped tightly around Ayame.. Holding her was calming his dreams, before he was having a nightmare about Kata, after what happened earlier today.. Though now he was sleeping soundly.. At least.. Until words began to echo in his mind. "The seal... Will soon be broken... An evil will be released upon the Soul Society... Under the control of one with a dark heart... One that is misunderstood... And only wants to watch the world burn around him... With hands stained with blood... Awake Shuzo... You must stop him..." As the words echoed in his head, his eyes slowly opened.. Those were the words of his sword.. They were a warning.. Someone had entered the shrine of an evil that should never be released.. Slowly, he sat up, letting Ayame go but was quiet enough to make sure he wouldn't wake her.. Slowly he leaned his head back down and lightly kissed her cheek as he thought. 'Don't wake up.. I'll be back shortly..' He slowly moved off the bed, slipping pants and a shirt on as he grabbed his sword that he held close, which rested at the side of his blade as he quietly moved out of the room.. Noticing the door was opened, showing someone was in their house.. He saw a light, the light of the candles from Muramasa's shrine showing from the opened door as he made his way down the stairs, until he saw someone in the shrine.. A boy with blue hair as he frowned.. Quietly asking.. "What are you doing here, Kata?" 〗

All the world needs is me.
I've got my values... so you can keep yours, alright?

〖Kata had his hands resting on the glass case as Shuzo called his name.. He instantly froze, hearing the man's voice as he started to descend from the stairs.. Shuzo's eyes only narrowed as he stopped at the last step, focusing his eyes on Kata. "... You have no right to be in our home at this time.. You will step away from that case and come with me." He actually demanded of the boy, he rarely gave him a straight demand, especially in such a serious tone.. That was because of Korai Yoru's warning to him.. Kata.. He wasn't just here by accident.. He was out for blood, and he was at the point that he would release an evil just to get what he wanted.. Though despite Shuzo's demands, Kata only stood in place, before plainly saying. "No, Shuzo-sensei. I will not." The words rang echoed through the shrine as Shuzo's frown grew, placing his hand on the handle of his sword.. He was actually thinking about harming his own student, Shuzo was not bullshitting around anymore. "Kata, if you do not do as I say, I will treat you like a criminal for breaking into my home.. And I will incapacitate you. Shuzo continued to demand, that Kata step down from the case that contained the forbidden sword, even giving the threat that he would cut the boy down if he continued to disobey him.. as with Kata's single showing eye, he glared back at his Sensei. "I won’t take it anymore.." He said as a tear slowly began to well up in his eye, while at the same time a vein started to pulse on his forehead.. The boy obviously frustrated, perhaps so much its triggering a state of sad madness. "Kata.. Please ca-" "NO! I won’t calm down! You don't know what I'm going through! You don't know what it’s like! Everyone being better than you.. At everything.. You don't know that feeling! Sir Greatest Swordsman in the realms! While Ayame is a legendary Perdu! Mother and father are famous Captains that protect the King himself! Miyuki has all she wants, she can still go the the Academy, and actually has the care of her father! And Kanami.. Kanami.. Having all of Mother and Father's love.. Only training for six years and she already has unlocked her shikai, has Captain level Kido Mastery.. And.. You gave her one of these behind my back!!! Despite what I've already been going through!!" He shouted as more tears came from his eye, while his eye patch started to get soggy as he continued to glare at the man, actually choking up cries. "My Zanpakuto won’t come to me, I can't even call myself a Shinigami! I'm the son of two of the greatest Shinigami in existence, and am training under the two greatest Zanjutsu masters and I have nothing to show for it! I can't use my damn Kido, I don't have a Zanpakuto, and every time I try at something I fail! And you all show me that I fail! Every time, this was the last ******** straw! I'm done with it! I'm done with all of you!!" He shouted as he suddenly slammed his fist on the glass case, cracking it as he continued repeatedly, Shuzo suddenly drawing his blade as he suddenly moved towards Kata. "Calm yourself Kata! You don't know what you're doing!" He shouted as he suddenly swung his blade to strike Kata's arm to prevent him from breaking the case, he had to stop him.. But it was too late.. Kata's fist suddenly broke through the glass, shards of razor sharp glass digging into his hand, his hand making contact with the blade as his eyes suddenly widened, his veins pulsing completely up his arm, neck, and his head, instantly a burst of reiatsu of unbelievable power was released, completely blowing away the shattered glass as the candles lit in the sanctum blew out, Shuzo being completely forced away from Kata as his eyes widened in horror. "No, KATA!!!" The man shouted as a sinister chuckle echoed from Kata's person, or at least it seemed so.. But his lips didn't move, as if it was being transmitted into Shuzo's mind.. A voice echoed.

"Heh.. We meet again Murakami, the last time we had a chance to talk it was when you battled against Domon's army, then you sealed me away.. You know.. I really don't appriciate that." The voice echoed as Shuzo's eyes filled with concern, worry, mixed in with the horror.. He was now worried for the boy before him, because he had released an evil that was not tamable.. He was sure that it would consume Kata if he didn't get the sword back, now.. "Muramasa.. I will be putting you right back into that seal as soon as Kata hands you ov-" "I don't think so, Murakami.. You heard the boy, didn't you? He's tired of you, all of you.. So, I'm going to help him, help him get rid of you." The voice said as a faint cackle came from Kata, him suddenly glaring towards Shuzo as he suddenly dashed forward, swinging the horrific blade in a diagonal slice towards Shuzo's chest before he managed to block it, then pushed on the blade as he forced Kata back. "You two are both being foolish! Kata.. You must stop, I don't want to hurt you.." Though, right as he said that the boy began to launch a barrage of slashes at Shuzo once again. "I won’t let you have this back! It's mine! Rightfully mine!" Kata shouted as Shuzo kept deflecting the strikes, though he didn't want to be arrogant, he had to speak the truth as he suddenly threw a strike towards Kata's right shoulder, going to completely severe his arm. "You forget Kata, Ayame and I taught you everything you know, you can't beat either-" Shuzo's eyes widened as suddenly his sword was deflected, with power that actually launched the sword from his hand as Kata rushed forward towards him, and threw a strike that stabbed into Shuzo's arm, smirking sinisterly as Muramasa's voice echoed once again. "Murakami.. Unlike you, this time.. The boy is in my favor.. I.. Am not influencing these actions, these are performed with the boys own dark heart and dark intentions. I must say I'm impressed with him.. So I'm giving him the power to defeat you, a power you never had.. You've only had an eight of my power, and you couldn't handle that much.." Suddenly Shuzo's arm started to feel weird, it was swelling up, like a balloon as his eyes widened, he tried to jerk his arm away, but the blade was stabbed through the very bone as his flesh began to tear. "You've already lost, Murakami." Said Muramasa with one last sentence as Shuzo's arm suddenly exploded, splattering blood throughout the entire room, the pain was too severe for the man not to cry out in pain, now his arm was dangling flesh, exposed bone, and pouring crimson liquid.. Shuzo collapsed onto the ground, glaring up at the boy as he muttered weakly. “Kata.. Don’t do this.. If you leave this room.. You will take a path of destruction.. You will become corrupted.. If you leave, you will become an enemy of your friends and family.. Of all of those you’ve spent your life with..” Shuzo said weakly as he started to push himself up with his remaining arm, it was difficult.. As well as strange, he could still actually move the skeletal arm a bit, but hurt so much, he couldn’t let himself move it.. Though before he could even get up to his knees, Kata suddenly stabbed Muramasa down into Shuzo's back, causing the man to gasp in even more pain while Kata only smirke.. The front of his body was covered with Shuzo's, and Muramasa's blood.. Now pinning Shuzo to the ground, he spoke. "I don't care anymore.. Come after me if you want, I won’t hesitate to cut any of you down until I show everyone they were wrong." He said simply, as Shuzo's skin began to dry, blood was being drained from his body, but before the organs could be completely dried up, and the blood would be drained from his body, Kata lifted Muramasa from Shuzo. "I'm going to leave you here to die.. Let the final thoughts of you being killed by one of your own students sink in, and haunt you until you pass.. I really doubt you'll survive, Shuzo-sensei.." The boy said coldly as turned back to the shrine that Muaramasa was placed in, grabbing the sheath that remained on the stand before sheathing the evil blade and suddenly vanishing.. Leaving Shuzo laying there, he didn't know how to conjure a Hell Butterfly without opening a Senkaimon so he couldn't send a message for help.. He was really going to die there..
While Kata only appeared in front of the home, staring up at the sky, it was raining, meaning the blood was being washed off his body.. Lightning crashed as thunder finally roared across the sky.. As if it was signaling the impending doom that this evil was sure to bring in the future.. Leaving him to only walk along the tiled walkway, leaving the home indefinitely.. He wasn't done yet though.. He had one last place to go before he left all he knew, to follow his new path.. 〗

All the world needs is me.
I've got my values... so you can keep yours, alright?
I don't get people.
Never have, never will.

It's not like I'm walking alone into the valley of the Shadow of Death.
Stand beside one another, 'cause it ain't over yet.
I'd be willing to bet that if we don't back down..
You and I will be the ones that are holding the Crown in the end.

〖 After Kata had left, Shuzo and Ayame had both looked around for him for a while, but had given up when it had gotten darker. They both figured he would turn up the next day and they could talk to him then. Now, the woman was sound asleep, her head resting on Shuzo's chest, curled up against him. When the man got up and moved, Ayame stirred slightly, but didn't wake up, just nestled herself into the bed more. The woman didn't wake up until she heard screaming below her, and she sat up slowly, looking confused. For a moment she thought it was a dream, and she hadn't really heard anything, so she turned to look at Shuzo, freezing when she realized he wasn't lying next to her anymore. Still in her pajamas, she grabbed her sword and raced down the stairs, flipping on light switches as she went so she could see better.

Ayame started walking past a door, but stopped and turned when she noticed it was open. The door that had Muramasa sealed in it had been opened? With growing worry, she descended down another flight of stairs, her eyes widening when she say Shuzo lying on the ground with a pool of blood around him. "Shuzo!" Rushing forward, she kneeled down beside him, placing her hand on his shoulder and shaking him a little. She honestly couldn't tell if the man was dead or not, since he wasn't moving and one of his arms was nothing but bone now. 〗

And we'll be carrying on, until the day it doesn't matter anymore.
Step aside, you forgot what this is for.
We fight to live, we live to fight..
And tonight, you'll hear my battle cry!
