*The story begins with the scene fading in and blood splatting on the ground.. followed by a body and a sword. <-- get a close up on the sword..

Narrarator: Back in feudal Japan, the flesh of a man was never safe, blood filled the rivers, and the deafening screams stormed throughout the islands. In order to stop the evil, a sword was forged in the fires of hell, and purified in the lights of heaven. It was said, that only those pure of heart could wield this sword and bring out its full potential.

*A hand suddenly picks up the sword, now the scene fades out.

*Title shows up .. KENSHIN KURENAI.. music volume arises.

*Scenery being viewed. NEXT SCENE--> (start from bottom and film to top) Aware is in picture. NEXT SCENE--> close up on her face. NEXT SCENE--> close up on Aware gripping the sword.

Janyce: ::silence::

*Three people run up to her.

Timmy: Aware!

Janyce: (turns and faces riku)

*everyone runs up and stops at a fair distance.

Nga: ... (looking at the sword in my hand)

*close up on the sword again.

Nga: Is that.. the katana of Hitoshi-sama?

Janyce: ....hai.

Kyle: Sensei, we must conceal it from any lurking ninja (pulls out a cloth and wraps the sword) <--*close up on that too!

*As Hikari wraps it, Aware will speak in the background

Janyce: Tengoku.

*everyone looks up.. in a ``hm?`` kinda way.

Nga:.. Aware-sempai.. this katana is... Tengoku?

Janyce: Hai. We need to keep moving.. ninja are present.

*silence.. everyone glares into the trees and bushes. suspense music plays

Janyce: Hikari and Riku, this is the time to prove you are worthy of being called my apprentices. Where are they?

Kyle: Two on the left, one on the right.

Timmy: Iye.. it's three on the left.

*NINJAS COME OUT! Everyone show them your Jackie Chan skills!Aware and Hikari keep close to Sakura-hime.

*Aware pulls out Tengoku. The ninjas freeze. They retreat into the bushes.

Nga: Whew.. thank you God.. thank you thank you thank you.

Kyle: Was it the sight of the sword that made them flee?

Timmy: No way man! That was my pure skill telling them ``Beat it suckas!``

Janyce: ....

*END SCENE (fade out)

*NEXT SCENE (fade in) Riku and Hikari are enjoying themselves by drinking a lot of sake.

Timmy and Kyle: Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open slay!

*Aware is troubled, she refuses to touch any edible substance, for she is thinking in deep thought. The sword Tengoku is being grasped tightly.

Timmy: Lighten up sensei! We haven't been able to defeat the Chi Kurenai ninja clan in ages!

*Aware slams her hands on the table. She is outraged.

Janyce: ::shouting:: It's YOUR fault that we cannot defend ourselves! It's YOUR fault that we are considered weak. Until you two master the divine arts of GROWING UP, I will be ashamed to know you as my apprentices.

*Silence overcomes the voices of Riku and Hikari as they watch Aware leave the room.

Timmy and Kyle: ......

*Hikari passes out from alcohol intoxication. Riku just laughs. NEXT SCENE--> Aware is approaching the palace gates, there she meets with two guards.

Janyce: I've come to see Little Sakura.

Guard 1: Get lost. We will not permit a lowly ninja like you to walk to royal palace floors.

Janyce: Oh. Then I hope you don't mind if I let myself in.

*Aware through a bomb that releases a blinding light to .. blind the guards! She quickly climbs to the top of the gates and pulls out a rope. *SCENE--> close up on the rope.

Aware throws the rope to the guards.. (dont follow where it lands.) *NEXT SCENE --> film the rope secured around the guards necks. *Aware pulls on the rope. *Film the guards feet hanging.

Janyce: My, my... Hired help should have an expiration date if they just go and die on you.. *tsk tsk tsk.

*NEXT SCENE--> Aware is walking into the palace doors (film from afar). *Sakura-hime spots her (side view) and jumps from the throne to see her (film from a fair distance).

Nga: Aware-sempai! Wazzzup!!

Janyce: I am ashamed of you! Using such slang in a royal palace. What kind of empress are you?

Nga: A freestylin' one, hon!

Janyce: Whatever you say. Oh, and I'm not your sempai. You're not anywhere near to beginning training.

Nga: Oh don't you worry sucka! I'm gonna start self-defense as soon as you teach me the basics, homie!

Janyce: Hah, funny. Maybe if you spot me.. 50 bucks I might reconsider!

Nga: GASP! Just because I'm rich!

Janyce: I'm just messing with your innocent little mind. Back to business, do you have any idea as to why the Chi Kurenai were after you?

Nga: mm mm (shake head) But Mom and Dad are dead now, so they obviously can't help us out.

Janyce: What?! The emperor and empress were assassinated?

Nga: mhmm. (nodd head) It doesn't really bother me, I never got to see them anyways.. will I go to hell if I'm killed?

Janyce: ...Depends.

Nga: Depends on what?

Janyce: If they're accepting little empresses into hell now. *smile.

Nga: Heh. This is one of those bonding scenes where the music is all like .. ``doo doo dooooo``. Guards! Sing that tune for me, okay?

Guards: Uh.. okay.... dooo dooo doooooooo.

Nga and Janyce: Ha ha ha.

Janyce: You're so corny for an empress. You should be more serious, respect your parents. I send my appologies to you Your Majesty.

*NEXT SCENE--> View the room of the Chi Kurenai. Shadowy figures crawl from the shadows.

Janelle: This isn't good Sensei, the have the legendary katana Tengoku...

Theresa: No matter, they are no threat to us as long as they cannot use it. Besides, (view of a shadowy place) we have the weapon that rivals its powers mwahahahahahaha (laughs like a maniac)

*NEXT SCENE--> View of something moving really fast throught the bushes..

::flashback::

Theresa: You two secure the |_name of secret weapon_| (view Kokuyo) don't let anyone get near it (view Kiri and Tenshi).

::back to present::

Tammy: Hmph! Who does she think she is! Like anyone would want that rusty old piece of metal anyways..(film Kiri's face).

Janelle: Stop complaining and hurry up! It's not as if you have a better way to destroy Tengoku (Film Tenshi's face).

Tammy: We should just steal it and use it to rule all of Japan ourselves! (back to Kiri).

*Fade out

*Fade in

*NEXT SCENE--> View of Riku looking up (film from above him)

Kyle: Hey.. whats up?

Timmy: It's them again, only two this time though...

Kyle: I don't feel anything.. you're losing it man.

Timmy: Oh yeah!? Well you're the dumber apprentice!!

Janyce: You two stop mumbling we have a mission.

Timmy: What mission?

Kyle: Is it dangerous? (whispers: please don't let it be dangerous!)

Janyce: Stop acting cowardly or I'll throw you to the "tora shiroi"

Kyle: But... I like chickens...

Timmy and Janyce: ::long stare::

Kyle: ... heh...*ahem*..

Janyce: (looking at Riku) ... Let's go apprentice.

*As they begin to leave, Hikari calls to them.

Kyle: Hey! You mean apprentices... RIGHT?! Heyyy!! Wait up!! (film Hikari from a fair distance as Aware and Riku walk passed the camera)

*Aware and Riku stop. Aware turns around to face Hikari, Tengoku in her grasp.

She sheaths Tengoku.

Timmy: For some reason they're scared of that thing

Kyle: Ohhh so now they're scared of the sword? I thought it was your skills..

Timmy: ... Uh..! It was!!

Kyle: Can't we have a party before we go?

Timmy: Just take some sake with you, you alcoholic..

*NEXT SCENE--> Film the fortress from bottom to top.

*NEXT SCENE--> Hikari and Riku are infiltrating the fortress, their backs pressed against the walls.

Timmy: Hikari..

Kyle: What?

Timmy: It's umm.. well you see it's--

Kyle: Spit it out!

Timmy: I'M SCAAAARRRED!!!

Guards: Wha!? Ninja!!

*Aware drops down from the ceiling behind them. She grips their shoulders firmly.

Janyce: (whipering) Is there something you'd like to share with the world? Like.. I don't know.. OUR WHEREABOUTS!?

Kyle: (whispering) It's this idiot's fault!

Timmy: (whispering) Shut up!

Kyle: (whispering) You should've taken that advice instead of giving it to me, baka.

Janyce: (whispering) Both of you just shut up! If the guards hear one more word from any of you, you'll sleep outside for a whole month.

Kyle: (whispering) No problem, I'll just sleep with the chickens!

Janyce: (whispering) Without sake..

Kyle: NOOOOOO!!!

Guards: NINJA!! COME OUT!

Janyce: ::evil face, silence::

Kyle and Timmy: .... *ahem*..

Timmy: Sorry?

Janyce: ::grin::

*NEXT SCENE (fade in)--> It is night and everyone is getting ready for bed. Riku and Hikari are sitting outside (as promised). Film the house and then advance toward them.

Kyle: *sob.. No more sake.. no more..

Timmy: Suck it up already, you're so annoying!

Kyle: Look who's talking, dumnut!

Timmy: Hey I train with the grand master of all ninjas, ya know!

Kyle: Yeah? Well I hope she showed you how to pull a blade OUT OF YOUR A--!

*Hikari and Riku then start to pull some Jet Li moves this time when a voice interrupts them (film the person's feet as they step up/with Riku and Hikari in the scene).

Figure: Konnichiwa! I hear this is the Yasashii Shi ninja clan's crib.

*Riku and Hikari jump up, startled (film them getting up, then pause, and get a close up of their faces as they talk).

Timmy: Show yourself! How do you know this?!

*The figure steps into the light. It is a girl.

Theresa: Oh! Onegai, I am sorry, allow me to introduce myself. I am Miwaku Kokoro, an expert ninja from the Aoi Kanjoo clan. I have come to speak with your sensei.

Timmy and Kyle: (looking at each other) ::shrug::

Kyle: (turns around and heads inside) Sensei!

*Film Riku and Miwaku from the side.

*Hikari comes back with a bucket on his head, Aware behind him.

Janyce: ... Who might you be, shoujo?

Theresa: I am Miwaku Kokoro, sensei.

Janyce: I am not your sensei, nor am I anyone else's (look at Riku and Hikari).

*Film Riku and Hikari looking at her, then turning away.

Janyce: From what clan do you hail?

Theresa: I come from The Aoi Kanjoo clan.
