TOMO NI TATAKAI,EIEN NI AISURU/TOGETHER BATTLE, FOREVER LOVE.

The guards,all katana wielding and all of them  barely able to stand until a warrior appears.

He is in solid red armor that is matching to the form I am in now,I slowly bring myself to the ground and disperse the form so that I may try to plead.

"You do not have to do this,I do not want to kill any of you.I just want to free who Lord Takahira stole and be gone,you are not my enemy unless you make yourself one."

The warrior before my eyes is tall,taller than Noroi and much larger almost inhuman until I realize he is.
I see a mark on his hand that looks like Kikos signature drawing of the kanji for spring,she always perfered that over any other kanji due to it opposed her in a way she could tolerate.

He pulls out an odachi that is unclean from old blood and the cries I hear from it are shrill enough to shake my core but not enough to keep me from moving,the heart of the camp is before my eyes and the warrior in red armor(armor that has spikes all over making him untouchable to anyone to try to approach a battle with him head on.)is blocking the entry for me.

It is not enough to stop me,not now.


NOROI

When GOD gives you mighty hope,sometimes a mighty strength to go with it.

Can change one into a force rather than flesh,I watch as my guard is in horror as my love as landed by the gate of the camp.
Even in a situation she knows will end in battle i watch her as she tries to give them a chance they refuse not knowing what is coming.
Her eyes are unlike any other time I have ever seen her before.

She has a warriors eyes now,she is not going to faint before my eyes again but that does not mean she can handle this fight,she does not know what is here.
I see him now,he calmly walks from the barracks to the gate entry the rain battering his armor sounding like bullets with how heavy the rain pours.

Sakura does not even step back,nor cowers at all but stands her ground but for all her power I can see now she does not know what he really is,what Kiko made him for is this very moment.

I scream out,trying to pray inside and force outside every ounce of power in me to break these bamboo bars that do snap easy thank GOD for that,my guard hits me over and over in the face now but I don't feel it,my mask cracks but I don't feel it.
I twist to my knees and turn kicking his shin inwards afterwards taking into sight an old ally of mine.

All I feel right now is fire,I take my sword back that he took from me as his gift from the snake for capturing me so I can fight for her.

"Don't hold back on my account Itoshi-hito,fight."


Sakura

I feel as though I can not do anything against him.
I see ronin after ronin felled  by my pulling on their blood like threads and use it to twist them against each other but the red samurai somehow is blocking me.
He is so large that soon as my eyes land on him my threads disappear and I am weakened enough that some of the warriors get near to slash at me which I roll away from and pull out my tanto to evade there strikes and although not very cleanly,I cut abdomens often as well as I can hear raging blood from them in my ears.

I can not stop though,I see bamboo cages and I can't tell which one Noroi is in so I before losing sight again,force a long sword of threaded blood to slash them all open before I take my fallen tanto and slide on the muddy ground trying to evade every heavy handed strike of this massive samurai that is deceptively agile who follows me so closely.

More ronin appear yet I hear screams again,not from the blood this time until afterwards and then I see him.

Noroi.
Bloodied,his hair is matted with mud and caked blood,he looks thinner and his mask is cracking showing him to be pale but it is him and he fights so visceral.

Truly as I have read and seen.

A true dance of death,it is a pity such a gentle soul has to know such a dance.
