Chapter 1
[ How can I get away from these guys?!] thought Shizumaru as he ran with his umbrella in his left and his
right hand in his robe. You see Shizumaru just finished a fight against some fat head by the name of Chotohori,
and now reporters, photographers, and broadcasters want to interview him. But Shizumaru is not the one to be
in the spotlight.[ Maybe on high ground I can lose them.] He thought hopefully as he took a great leap and
landed on one of the thicker tree branches. He watched as the reporters, photographers, and broadcasters ran
under him. [ Now I must find a to place stay.] he thought, jumping on to different tree branches. ( Like a ninja.)

" I don't know Raki, what do you think?" asked a teen aged girl as she talked to a black crow, down a dirt
pathway. Raki, (The crow) started caw that it saw something unusual. " What is it?" she asked. The bird landed
and the girl took a closer look of what the crow was calling about. She then realized that she was staring at
some drops of blood. [ Blood. But from who?] she thought. " Come on Raki, who ever blood this is we have to
find them fast!" she said in a worried voice as she followed the path of specks of blood.

[ I wonder where should I stay? Oow! Damn! I didn't think that the cut was that bad.] Shizumaru thought
painfully as the blood soaked through his robe and dripped on the ground. He landed on the ground with a loud
T H U M P! then leaned against the tree taking a breather. He looked behind him making sure there was no
one following him.

" These blood marks stopped here." said the girl kneeling down to see the dry blood. " Raki, go and get
Runa (another crow) to help find this person." The crow cawed then flew away. [ So Raki and Runa will head to
Shuku Valley. I guess I'll go to Mitzu Hill and look there.] She thought to herself as she ran down the deserted
road.

" I better get going, It's almost dark and I haven't found a place to stay." Shizumaru said to himself tired of
jumping and he looked behind him to see a person with two black things on the person's shoulder walking
towards him. [ It must be one of those damn reporters.] Shizumaru thought angrily. "I'd better get going." he said
as he started to run.
______________________________________________________________________________
" It's been half an hour and no luck finding this person." said the girl to Raki and Runa who rested on her
shoulders. " I am sorry you two, I for putting you thorough this." she apologized.
" Hey, there's someone, maybe they've seen this person." " Hey!!" She yelled. The person begin to run. " Raki,
Runa! Follow him!" she shouted. The crows cawed then off they when in pursuit. " I'd better take the short cut."
she said running the opposite direction.

" What the hell-" started Shizumaru as he looked behind him to see two crows very close
behind him. Raki and Runa caught up with him and flew around him. Shizumaru was at a full stop trying to hit
them of them with his umbrella, but missed terribly. The girl was behind Shizumaru and tackled him to the
ground. " Hey! Damn it! Let me go!" cried Shizumaru as he struggled to get up. " He's the one. Raki, Runa
thank you." she said with a smile. Shizumaru vision was blurred, he could not see the person that tackled him,
he was extremely tired and weak, and couldn't keep his eyes open. Before he blacked out his final thought was
[ Mother......]
