When you read the story for anyone who's ever played the game"Way of the Samurai" you'll find the plot almost exactly like the game's plot and sorry if it sucks I'm not much with stories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The year was 1581.Shogun Tokugawa has manage to crush and shatter the powers of his rivals reducing their once glorius country into nothing but tiny city-states,no one knows why Tokugawa didn't just crush the Egyptian city-state to the west or destroy the Germans to the north or crush anyone of his rivals and get rid of the nusiances which he has allowed to stay.Most say that it was a great act of kindness,but a few like me know the truth why he wanted them to stay."

"He allowed his rivals to stay because he knew that he could demand things from them,thus making them his vassals.Just like Cleopatra she offers herself Tokugawa just to save her country just like a whore who offers herself for money,now she has become Tokugawa's personal sex toy.And Caesar of the Romans,he has not only become the ruler of Rome but he has now been forced to become the clown gesture of Tokugawa's court."

"It is a time of peace for now,for I fear that this peace is soon to be broken,there has been large signs of unrest in many cities in the empire like Sado,Kozuke,and many others,already some have revolted and made their own city-state but the Shogun's lighting cavalry poured in from the borders and rebellions where quickly put down in less than a day."

"My city of Echigo is on the brink of rebellion and the rebel leaders have asked me to join their cause,this is where my story begins,I am Miyashi Saito a lone ronin and know as one of the best swordsman in Japan,stuck in the middle between two warring factions.The Shogunate Government and the Rebel States.I ask myself which side am I going to pick?"
 
As I sit down and eat my sabo and pour myself some sake at the local inn I overhear 3 bushi's talking
"Do when do you think Lord Kinataro will make his move and rebel,"says bushi one
"I don't know,but he has the entire support of the city I'll tell you that,"says bushi two
"Well do you think we'll have enough men to repel the governments attack?"says bushi three
"I don't know but maybe,says Lord Kinataro that we can only hope to hold them off long enough to for Lord Yazaki's reinforcement to arrive at the city"
"Well anyways lets go,it's getting late and we have to get back to guard duety"
The bushis got up and headed for the door but on their way one of them bumped into me nearly spilling my sake,but all the he did was keep walking.

"Well you could have said sorry when you bumped into me"I said
"Shut your mouth you low class swordsman,do you know who I am"said the bushi
"No who are you?"
"I'm Gennojo Murama,Captain of the Guards"
"Well Captain,you aren't much for manners"
"Was that an insult?Draw you sword and fight,I won't have some beggar insult me infront of my men!"
"I'm sorry but I try to keep my sword clean for better opponents"I continued to sip my sake
"Bastard!"
And he quickly unsheath's his sword and raises it up high above his head.
-Cutting Sound-
-quick sheathing sound-
....There was a few brief moments of silence before Gennojo's head slid off his shoulders.

Every looked at me with eyes has big as dinner plates and jaws dropped.The two bushi ran in panic.I took my katana and paid for food and left.

Blix,

It reads quite well so far. I like the setting and look forward to reading more! Good job!
 
It was now night time and people have gone to their homes and now the streets were almost completely empty.

As I walk down the darkened streets of Echigo I see a woman surrounded by four armed men.
"Please don't hurt me!"cried the woman
"Don't worry we ain't gonna hurt you,we only want
your money,now give it here!"yelled one of the bandits
"Hey scummbags leave her alone!"I said as I approached them
"Who you callin a scummbag you low life freak,maybe we ougtha teach you some manners,"said the leader
And with those words he kicked me to the ground and unsheated his sword.
"Get up swordsman and let me teach you what real swordsmanship is,"
I got up and said"Sure and after that let me teach you the real art of swordsmanship,"
After I finshished he quickly charged at me swinging his sword around like he'd this was his first time using a sword.I easily blocked each and everyone of his attack and by now he was exausted.
"What the hell was that!"I yelled"Geez even an old woman can dodge your clumsy attacks!"
Phanting with on every word he replied"Shut...up...you...worm"
"If that's the best you can do then here let me show you true swordsmanship,lift up your sword,"I said.
He lifted up his sword ready to attack.When he made a downward cut I stepped aside and quickly severed his head.
"He killed the boss,"one of them said"Let's get him"
"Yeah!"
I quickly ran at them and within a few seconds they were all lying on the street,dead.
"How can I ever repay samurai?"
"No need ma'am,"I said as I walk towards Lord Kinataro's house.
 
Ok I know you guys hate it and it's corny so I'm gonna stop for you guys.
 
I don't hate it and I haven't seen anyone who does.
 
trust me when people don't review,it means they hate it.They just don't want to be mean so they don't post.
 
not necesserely, it could be they like it so much they dont want to interrupt the flow, or maybe they just dont care enough to post. id does not have mean that they hate it.
 
Na I haven't been getting any good posts actually I only got two replies,but anyways I'm in the middle of a writers block right now so I won't posting any new posts.
