Chained World - Yojimbo:: The World of a Samurai [Episode 120969]

by Earthchild

He knew today was the day. The horoscopes said today would bring much to his esteemed self. So he was convinced that today was it. The day when the beautiful and delicate Akane Tendo would finally admit her love for him by letting him defeat her in battle. Thereby proving his worthiness and that only HE was the one for her. He almost felt pity for the peasants that stood in front of the school in the vain hope of dating the beauteous one. But peasants have to have dreams too. But he was the only one for Akane. And once he defeated her, they would start dating and then things would lead to this and that and some of this....... No he would not allow himself to daydream now. After his victory there would be sufficient time. The silence meant that Akane Tendo should be finish with the peons. It was time for his grand entrance and let them all bask in the glory that was Tatewake Kuno.

But wait who was this cowardly vulture who dares to walk near the glorious Akane? This could not be allowed!!!

"HALT KNAVE!! Who do you presume to be to walk beside the glorious form of Akane Tendo. Know that one as pitiful as thyself are not worthy of looking upon her beauteous façade let alone walk beside her. Speak thy name peasant or face my bouken."

The peon blinked obviously astounded but his visage and the masterful speech. Wait, he forgot to introduce himself. The vile serpent had him so filled with rage he almost committed a breach of proper etiquette.

"Ummm.... I'm," started the peon still stunned by his noble self.

"But is it not customary to give one own name first. Know that I am the Blue Thunder, rising star of Furinkan High and the esteemed Captain of the Kendo Club, the art of the Bushi of old. Tatewake Kuno. Age 17. Blood type AB."

A magnificent introduction as was fitting of the future Daimyo of the Nerima Prefecture. The miscreant was still stunned by his glory. Obviously the lowborn filth has never expected to be challenged by one such as he. But the scoundrel should be honored to be put in his place by the might of a Samurai such as himself. Perhaps a glare would be enough to scare the ingrate.

Is that a fist in his field of vision? *Pow* *Whamp* *Crunch*

Why had Akane just hit him? Of course, he had forgotten to lavish his attention on her as he had every morning. The dear girl must have been so disappointed. Oh how utterly unforgivable of him to forget her. Yes, he needed to be punished. Oh how good it felt to feel the blows of true love. Look how lovely she is glowing red like that. Such a powerful personality. All those wonderful hits from such a lovely fierce tigress, how could a man not ask for more? Is she finished already? But he has not been punished properly... Come back.....

Who is this face that dares to interrupt his loving gaze on Akane Tendo? Oh, the vagrant.

"Good morning Kuno-san. I am Ranma Saotome, mumlak-yojimbo of Akane Tendo. Good day."

Yojimbo?? The vagrant is a Bushi of the lower class? The bodyguard of Akane Tendo? Why would such a worthy fighter such as she need a yojimbo? Unless she no longer has time to fight as she moves to other pursuits. Of course, how can he so blind. She must be training herself in the womanly arts to be prepared for the time that he would date her. How thoughtful and considerate of her. After all who else but he was worthy of her time. And who else but he can treat her properly.

Indeed her station is now clear to everyone. The fact she has a retainer is a hint to all that she is of a high station such as himself. And no high born lady would consider spending time with a peasant. Yes, this must be her way of saying that she had accepted him. The horoscopes were right. Oh joyous day. Soon Akane Tendo, they will be together.

But first a nap sounds nice.
