The Revenge ; Private unless given permission

Reido Ryoushi was walking around looking for something to do before he had to meet up with his new mentor. He had been bored for a while not seeing his rival for the past two year he had nothing to do. For him and his rival trading blows was what had always killed time for him and now he had nothing to do. For he did miss his rival and wondered where he was. After all he wanted to see if their progress was still neck to neck.

Reido was in his regular attire, however his katana was sheathed and his gloves were in his coat pocket along with bullets for his installed shotgun in his hat. He had came prepared hoping to find someone or something. Slowly he inhaled through his nose, smelling the foul stenches of this once battleground. He continued to walk toward the Crimson Falls where so much blood was spilled the water had a natural reddish color to it. As he continued he noticed there were marks of blood and tears, he even though some were sweat. For this was as it was rumored, he even swore he saw some soldiers fighting and dying he was amazed of what background this place held. He was proud to be here, but at the same time scared out of his mind. For Reido was still a young boy only seven, he had never killed anyone only injured them so for once in his life he felt too young to be here. Shaking the bad thoughts out of his mind he continued to walk, as he continued he heard a faint yell from a distance, squinting his eyes he saw bandit who looked twelve or eleven and a young girl about the same age as Reido. However that was that only things Reido was able to make out from a distance, he would have to come up closer to see anymore details.

Reido began to rush at the scene to see how he could help, it seemed as he was getting closer and closer the bandit was trying to push her off, he wasn't even sure if it was a bandit he simply assumed he was, slowly Reido gripped the hilt of his katana and rushed in closer hollering. "Hey you stop what you are doing!" Not surprised that he was ignored by the bandit he decided he was going to take matters into his own hands. Finally reaching the area he impaled the bandit with the katana in his left hand, which was the hand he was holding the girl in, the bandit screamed out and Reido knew the time was right. He quickly sent a barrage of punches to the chest of the bandit putting him off balance. Then Reido took out his sword from his hand and roundhouse kicked the bandit, who fell back falling down into the Crimson Falls. Quickly Reido grabbed the girl and took her about five feet away from the area and layed her down. "Are you okay." He said in a gentle voice trying to be nice.

Girl: Hayama was rescued from a man who seemed to be at the right place at the right time. However if he was a second later she probably would have ended up like the man who was currently in the bottom of the waterfall. Embarrassed out of her mind all she could think of was running away. "Yes I am thank you." She said as she ran off to her own business.

Reido then watches the girl run away as he sat down minding his own business. For now he thought it was strange remembering back to when he use to fight Fukanin they always use to hand out here, however he highly doubted they were taken over, for one they were the best horde of thieves in Hiroshima and two he probably would of heard about it if they did. So he was unsure what to do, but he was going to look deeper into the situation.

Reido heard foot steps as he looked around seeing he was surrounded by five bandits each about fourteen. Reido knew it was time to find something out. He slowly got about five bullets from his pocket and put them into his hat, however the way he did it made it unnoticeable slowly he got up and slid into a stance putting on the gloves from his other pocket. activating the drills on his right handed glove and the mini chainsaws on his left handed glove he smirked waited. For he had already killed someone he wouldn't mind killing a few other.

Bandit 1: Seeing this man named Reido slide into a position and activate his weapons he wasn't scared. Bandit 1 lunged at him and planned on using nothing but his bare hands. However when Bandit 1 attempted to hit him with a uppercut Bandit 1 had a very outstanding physique but he was too slow. Reido sidestepped and send his drills into the skull of Bandit 1, which caused a painful death.

Reido smirked as the blood from the first bandit to attack him spilled all over his face. Reido then rushed at the next bandit he saw with a blood lust he slashed across the face of the bandit with his left hands mini chainsaws, however this did not kill him. As Reido's eyes stared into the eyes of the second bandit a hole opened from his hat as a bullet shot out hitting the bandit in the forehead killing him.

Bandit 3: As he watches another bandit died, Bandit 3 knew it was time to stop this. Running at Reido with the other two bandits still alive following him Before they could all clearly see the back of Reido's neck another hole opened from his hat and one bullet shot, however it went through all three of their foreheads.

Reido searched them he found a napkin cleaning his face off. He knew at that moment he was being watches, but he didn't know from where, but he had a feeling it was close, very close. However sadly he didn't leave one of them alive to interrogate. So he was stuck on his own trying to find their headquarters. For there all questions would be answered. At least the ones he had to ask.

Reido then thought of where they probably would be, after all the place that was most famous around here was the Crimson Falls, however he just had to figure out a way to get in and out of there, without killing himself. Then he remembered back to when he pushed the man into the waterfall, he highly doubted that he had died, but that he had faked his death and entered the headquarters and got back up. However he still had no idea how to get there without dieing. Slowly thinking he went over to the waterfall and looked down, it was way too deep to survive, then suddenly Reido was kicked down as he fell he knew he was either going to die or find the way in and just escape. Then he saw a hole just enough for him to get in, however he would have to time it to to land in it. but he knew he would die, so he took of his jacket and held it using it as a parachute gliding through the air he landed in a cave and was relieved. For he just managed to survive, but he had no idea how long it would be until he was spotted.

The cave was like any other, except it had fire leading down into something unknown. Reido wondered what had happened here for he had never noticed it when he had been here at other times. So he had a feeling he was one step closer to finding out what he wanted to. Slowly he put on his coat and started walking down the path. As he continued to he grinned from ear to ear knowing he had finally found the headquarters. Looking around he saw thieves and bandits gathered around talking about something, he wasn't sure what it was but he knew it had to be important after all. They never came together for tea time. However it was too risky to try and listen in on them so he decided he would try and find out what happened to this place, after all he hadn't been there for two years where he was busy training and it became like this. So it was time for his training to pay off.

Slowly Reido ducked and hid against the wall as he saw two bandits coming along it seemed as if they were intoxicated, but Reido knew it was time to find out what was going on. Putting his gloves back into his pocket Reido grabbed the hilt of his katana and just as the two passed him he jumped behind them and held his katana to both of their necks saying with a firm voice. "Who is the leader of this party and what happened to everyone here, what happened to Fukanin."

Man 1 : "Fukanin is the leader and he made some changes in the past two years and is currently in his hide out."

Reido tightened his grip on the hilt. "Where is his hide out." Reido said for now he was serious and wanted to know the truth and only the truth. For not only was he confused he wanted to exchange blows with his rival again, like good old days. However he knew that Fukanin was now much more serious about his thievery for he took it to another step, while Reido was only on step one.

Man 1: "He is in the room, however the only way to get to it is through a hole."

Reido then knew he was going to have to stop all this at once. However he still was unsure if him and Fukanin were still neck and neck, however if Fukanin was able to start this he highly doubted it, he had a feeling Fukanin surpassed him by a long mile. However his next stop was to meet Fukanin.

Reido slashed the two men's throats as he continued to walk back to the path. it was time for him to have a family reunion. Jumping out of the cave Reido rolled breaking his fall. Squirming into the hole Reido successfully made it in continuing to go through the hole he made it into the center of a room seeing Fukanin laying down towards the wall.

Reido squirmed out of the hole and looked around. It was a nice place, it was all clean and white and the windows were clear with no streak. Looking outside Reido saw the Crimson Falls. He had a feeling he was being watched by somewhere close and he was right at the time. However he wondered if Fukanin had noticed he was here the whole time, for he was lying down on a bed facing the wall. Reido then attempted to impale him in the neck, however Fukanin moved his head and then send a series of strikes to the torso of Reido. Amazed at his speed Reido fell back, almost positive that he had far been surpassed.

Fukanin grabbed his neck and started to squeeze the life out of his rival, who he had long surpassed. Smirking at his former rival he through him out the window as he called his fellow bandits to deal with him.

Reido got up panting after just being suffocated as for now he knew that he had to train twice as hard as he was if he had any idea of catching up to Fukanin, as all of a sudden five bandits who seemed to be no pushovers surrounded Reido smirked and knew it was time to finish it all off. Slowly he lifted up his katana sliding into a stance closing his eyes think to himself. Okay I have three bullets left and there's five. On top of that they aren't push over's however we are by the waterfall and the Crimson Water is still floating around here. So while the firs two charge at me I'm gonna slash a nerve and shoot the other three.

Bandit 1 and 2: The Duo charged at Reido preparing for a close-line and finishing him off in the water, however just as they went for the close-line Reido duck and slashed their nerves in their legs, as they fell into the water in pain there blood added to the color of the Crimson Water.

Reido stared at the rest having a feeling they were the leaders of the ones he had attacked before, the ones who stood in line, because they did the same only difference was they did it better, faster and neater. However Reido wasn't phased one bit by this formation, a hole opened on his hat as another bullet shot out hitting all their foreheads. Quickly he hole closed as he looked toward Fukanin, however he was not there. It seemed that he had fled while Reido was busy attacking the opponents.

Reido decided it was now best to head home for he had nothing better to do for now, Slowly Reido began to head to the Town Square where he would see if he could find any action of some sort, after all he had a while until he was to meet up with his new mentor, he might as well kill time. Slowly heading back to the Town Square Reido sheathed his katana and tilted his hat.

Reido then stopped and turned around, after all he did come to see his rival once again. He wasn't leaving until he got a fight. Slowly he began to walk towards the house to get his vengeance.Gripping the hilt of his katana he knew the time had come for him to show he had surpassed Fukanin it had been a while since he had fought Fukanin and now was the time. Jumping through the window he went into a brown wooden door which he hadn't noticed until now. Opening the door he was startled seeing two thieves, unlike the bandits who wore a orange tank-top and khaki shorts they wore a straw hat with a dark blue cloak. Quickly Reido hit one of the thieves with the hilt the the katana knocking them out and he slices the other ones head off.

Reido walked down a dark path which led to inside the waterfall. It was beautiful for as the Crimson Water fell down there was a nice breeze it made him feel happy to be alive and happy he came here. Reido felt relaxed all of a sudden as if he had no worries. Looking around it seemed as if these was a dining area it was neat and had all sorts of fine china. Sitting down on a chair Reido decided he was going to relax, for his mind was clouded and he felt he should just sit down and watch the waterfall. After all it seemed there was no one around.

Then all of a sudden he felt as if he was being watched and tested, he wasn't sure it if was paranoia or what. Reido then realized there was now way that the waterfall could be this beautiful, it had to be an image or holograph. Taking the chair he was sitting on he put the chair through the water fall and just as he expected it was a holograph. However he was unsure what would make him want to jump through the waterfall then he saw it, an image of Fukanin he was unsure if it was a holograph or what. However he knew he had to get to the other site if he had any hope of catching up to Fukanin. Sadly he was running out of ideas just as that was said Fukanin looked around seeing three other doors. Reido was taking a guess and thought two of them were trap doors and the one lead him to Fukanin. However then again it could of also meant that each door had a boss behind it and he had to pick a door and hope for the best.

Reido pondered which door to pick. I'm gonna go with the right door since I am a right, but what if that means only lefties will have an advantage but then what would the middle be. Would that be for no advantage and a fair fight? Nope I'll go with the left or right. As these thoughts raced across his mind Reido had nothing else to do but think and if he entered a door regret his decision. However then he picked the one to the right, for it was the farthest door and he assumed it was a long path that led to Fukanin.

As Reido opened the door he prepared himself looking around he saw nothing. He continued to walk down a narrow path. He was beginning to convince himself he was extremely paranoid, after all he did think what he was going to happen all the way out. However he seemed to be over thinking it. After all as he continued to walk down the narrow path he found his way into a crane. He had not one idea why there was a crane there but there was, and he had an idea what he was going to do with it. Looking up there was a large amount of ladders to climb to get to the top. Reido started climbing for them one by one finally he made it to the top. Opening the handle to get in he realized the space was about the size of two sit in arcade games.Seeing someone sitting there already Reido spun the chair around as he held their hand and crashed his two feet into their chest and flipped them over causing them to fall down the stairs probably breaking their neck. Reido smirked knowing these were one of the new advanced cranes which were simple to work, they even had direction as in green to go and such, however in order to activate it, it needed body heat this was in case the person died of a heart attack or such it would shut down automatically. Along with that it was so accurate you would be able to put a tea bag in Fine China Cup. Activating it Reido was just able to see Fukanin as he maneuvered it to grab him by the shoulders and bring him right if front of it. Now it was time for revenge, quickly a hole from Reido's hat opening as he shot, however lucky for Fukanin the crane was shot down and Reido's only hit his ankle. Now Reido would have to escape before he paid the consequences, he had won the battle by not the war.

Reido kick the glass open and he jumped out and grabbed hold of the crane, sliding down he managed to land into the stream of the Crimson Fall. Taking just a peak to see if anyone was above water he saw no one, so the coast was clear. Jumping out Reido continued to run towards the town, for he knew he would have to hide for a while if he thought about escaping. He continued running as he made to into the Town Square.
