[The Fight Is On!]
~*~

Things have been quiet lately,
with my master sleeping peacefully.
As I sat beside her,
with my sword protecting her at all costs,
someone approached the door.

"Someone is attacking our village. We need your help o Samurai!" yelled the lad.

As soon as his sentence finished,
My Master came out of her room.
She heard everything.

I had to go because it was my duty.
I was born to serve,
to protect.

I had no other choice but to go.
I have to fight.

Suddenly, my master pulled me,
and said "Oniisan, go out there and fight.But, remember me. Ki o tsukete oniisan"
Those were her words,
of wisdom.
However, I could feel the sadness and loneliness in her.

I summoned all my courage and took my sword.
Before I left,
I approached her,
and handed out my Sakabato to her.

I said " This will be your bodyguard. Whatever happens to me, my spirit will live on in this sword, so you'll never be alone imoto-chan"

Till then, sayounara.

[Drifted Away...]
~*~

I fought with you as a comrade,
I wandered with you as a fellow companion,
I protected you as a bodyguard.
But,
Why are you drifting away from me?

Ever since I recovered back then,
you've been silent.
Very silent.
When I approach you,
you find means and ways to run away from me..
What did I do?
Are you afraid that I'll kill you like I did the last time?

If it is,
I understand..
For my sword DID try to kill you.
Consumed by rage,
I wanted to kill you.
"Hitokiri", the title that i was given back then.
Yet i still keep it until now.
as I'm still an assassin.
But for all the souls that I have taken away,
Gomenasai..
I protect now,with my new Sakabato,
and vowed not to kill ever again,
just to atone for my sins, and the blood that i have shed.

But now,
what's happening to you O' Sensei?
Ogenki desu ka sensei?

[The Full Moon...]
~*~

The night was silent and dark,
yet bloodshed was still going on.

As I see the full moon,
it reminds me of the promise we made.
Remember?
You said you would return when the full moon arrives..
And now you are..
With me by your side..

No matter how sorrow you may be,
there is happiness inside you.
No matter how anger engulfs you,
there is always something to cool you down.

Behind that violent side of yours,
lies a nice side of you.
But i prefer both to be present,
because that makes you who you are.

As time flies by,
my eyes start to close,
sought to have a peaceful mind..

[Revival..]
~*~

"The light of hope,
shines upon me once again.."
I thought of this when I opened my eyes.

My master was by my side,
sleeping.
I guess she was tired after all the waiting.
Maybe I was unconscious for too long..

As I was merely trying to figure out what happened,
I saw my master's claws,
covered in blood..
MY blood..

I took the liberty of using my clothes to wipe it all off..
I can't bear to see my master stained in blood.
As she woke up,

I hugged her..

And said "Gomenasai, sensei....."

Sorry,
the first time i've said this word to my master.
I guess she does care about me a lot..

What happened in the past,
has now made me REALLY stronger than before..
And now I stand beside her,
serving her as her Samurai,
her bodyguard, her friend,
her family..

However,
the Slayer within me can never be removed.
I have to control it..

[Tears of Sadness...]
~*~

I picked up my chipped blade,
and went for a thrust to her heart,
with every ounce of my strength..

But I felt something went through me...
I coughed out blood..
Why?
Her deadly claws..
I was so obsessed with killing,
yet i didn't care for my life..

As I fall,
I noticed something that I have never seen in my master's eyes..
Tears..
She lost something that she truly loved..
Me..

I realised that now..
I wasn't merely a Samurai.
She treated me as a friend,
in fact as family...

As I lie on the ground still,
with my hands covered in my blood,
my master cried.
She didn't want me to go..
She wanted the old me...

My fiery eyes,
turned to eyes of compassion once more..

But I guess it's too late...

Fighting blindly in the midst of war,
a hand approached me.
It was my master.

And there i was,
torn into shreds..
With slashes and bruises all over me..
I can barely stand up with all the pain,
the suffering.

All that was left was only a chipped blade,
of my sword..
After all my years of service as a samurai,
I have never faced death as beautiful as this.

Master,
I'm not the Samurai you knew anymore.
Many things changed as you were away.
I was filled with anger and despair..
To kill,
my hatred to even destroy the world.
I don't know what came over me.

Master,
if you were to allow,
please let me die.
Let me committ hara-kiri..

I placed the tip of my chipped blade,
on my stomach.
But I await for my master's call to let me do so..



Tears of blood.

[The Strength To Fight]
~*~

Day after day,
i faced many enemies,
and killed many of them.

But,
every fight left me cuts and slashes.
Which are deep in my body,
weakening me every single day.

Everytime when I wake up,
I no longer wake up in happiness,
but in pain,
sorrow..

I realised that all this fighting,
has wore me down badly,
draining every ounce of my strength,
just to be stronger,
as I had promised my master when she return.

But,
can I go on like this?
can I still continue to protect and serve my master?
I'm slowly getting weaker..
I can barely stand on my own two feet..

I tremble when I hold my sword.
I pant heavily everytime when I fight someone for a while..

I'm losing myself......
