   The Unique Samurai By: darkest light
Episode 1: Saying Hello

“MIA YUUSHA!!!!! COME DOWN HERE, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!” yelled my father.
“Alright father, I heard you the first time,” I replied with a calm attitude.
As I was walking down the steps my dear, 14 year old, sister yelled, “You’re in trouble Mia!!”
“Shut up June!!!!” I yelled.
“MIA HURRY UP!!! NOW!!” father continued to yell.
“Okay, okay father,” I glutted.
I ran the rest of the 20 steps to figure out what was so important from my royally, annoying father. As I ran to my father’s favorite reading space of the whole palace, I realized that he wasn’t there so I called out, “Where are you father?”
“I’m at the door Mia!” answered father.
I ran even faster to get to my father’s location, and while I was heading there I was just wondering, “Why is he at the door; he’s never there. Well, whatever it is, it must be very important.” So I ran even quicker like if I had eaten something spicy and then was looking for something cold to drink.
I finally catch up with my father, and saw not just him, I saw a young boy my age, with pearl white, spiked hair with some spikes with curves, and bright, shining, silver eyes, and appears to be a samurai, a kind of’ cute samurai.
I tried to stop in front of the unknown boy and father, but I was running too fast and tripped over my own two feet, and as I was falling I closed my eyes and was waiting for the pain to hit my forehead. But I didn’t feel any pain, I felt something different, like if someone had caught me, so I opened my eyes and saw the young samurai holding me, holding me up and just looking at me as if he thought I was funny or clumsy, but I guess I can’t blame him.
“Thank you young samurai, and if I may continue?” I was speaking and trying to remember that I’m still the young mistress of this clan, the Ashi clan.
“Oh, it’ll be my pleasure if you did, my young mistress.” he replied in a calm, but yet lovely manner.
“What is your name, young samurai?” I continued my question.
“Uh, how unkind of me, I’m Gyo Kamemoto, my mistress.” he answered while holding my right hand up to his chest and then giving it a gentle kiss when he was finished.
“Well, my mistress, it was my pleasure to finally be in the presence of the beautiful, young mistress, of the Ashi clan,” he flirted, while giving me another gentle kiss on my right hand.
“Same… but you’re not a beautiful, young mistress… oh… it’s not that you’re not beautiful… but you are… but…” I choked in the most embarrassing way ever.
“Oh… ok. Farewell again young mistress,” he said his goodbyes again but this time with a slight giggle afterwards.
“Bye Samurai Kamemoto,” father said his goodbyes as well. “You like this boy, don’t you?” father asked.
“Father!!! You don’t talk about these things with your own daughter!!! I mean, like, that’s breaking every single rule in the book of father, daughter conversations!!!” I screamed at the top of my lungs.
“Okay, that’s a good that you like him, because he’s the young samurai you’re going to marry in a month,” father told me like if he didn’t even hear me yelling at him.
“No father, I will not marry that samurai. Does he know anything about this, is that why you were talking to him? Father this is an outrage, how can you do this to your eldest daughter?” I started to scream and yell, and forgetting the first thing father asked about me liking him.
“Samurai Kamemoto doesn’t know anything of the sort, yet. I was talking to him at the door because he brought the invitation to tomorrow’s yearly Ashi clan feast and dance. And I’m engaging you to “that samurai” because the village’s fortune teller, told me that a samurai named Gyo Kamemoto will make our clan stronger to defeat our enemy, the Zen clan, only if he marries the young mistress Mia Yuusha. Which the last I checked it was my eldest daughter,” father answered all my questions with great evidence.
“Father!! How can you believe that our village’s fortune teller is correct about our clan’s success in defeating the Zen clan once and for all?” I replied trying to calm down, but I couldn’t find the strength in me to stop yelling.
“Well, we can trust the fortune teller because she told us many things that all came true, like that volcano eruption in our elite samurai campsite, or how about, the wild fruits and vegetables growing south of the Chin Forest?” he continued to answer all my questions.
“Fine, I’ll believe the fortune teller is always right, but I don’t even know Gyo, and, I’m sorry, I will not marry a stranger,” I started a different subject.
“Well then, to get to know him better he shall come along with you and June in all your missions before the wedding. Problem solved,” father came up with a quick solution on the top of his head.
“What do you mea…”
“I said problem solved!!!” he interrupted me rudely with a yell.
I walked off with a flaming, hot temper because of my father’s stupid solution, which surprisingly made sense. I stormed off upstairs to tell June to figure out what she is going to wear to tomorrow’s dance, and I was going to do the same.
I stopped in front of June’s room, and knocked on the door, and yelled, “June find out what you’re going to wear to tomorrow’s idiotic feast and dance!!!”
“Okay Mia,” surprisingly she didn’t say a smart alic comeback.
I stomped across the hall to my room, and slammed the door shut. I finally calmed myself down, and walked to my closet to find my beautiful, light purple dress with dark purple lacings for the dance. I finally found the dress and began to lay it out on the foot of my bed.
“It’s pretty late, I’d better get into my pajamas and brush my teeth,” I said to myself as I was walking to the bathroom.
About 5 minutes later I was back in my bedroom, lying down on my bed and thinking about tomorrow’s pathetic dance, “Man, tomorrow I bet my father is going to tell Gyo about our marriage in a month. Maybe I should worry about this problem tomorrow. Yeah I’ll worry about it then.” In as quickly as I brushed my teeth I had fallen into a deep sleep, an even deeper sleep that I’ve had ever fallen in before.
