Song of the day: I don't know the name.

Lyrics: "As I lay me down to sleep, this I pray that I will wake up happy. Though I fly away, I'll whisper your name into the sky."

Random thought: "When I grow up, I wanna be a kid!"

Hey ya'll! I know I haven't been on for a very (very very very...and so on...)long time, and I would like to apologize for it. Work is really tiring me out and I have no time what~so~ever! This is the first time I have been on the internet since I last POSTED! I have missed ya'll so much; but to make it up to ya'll, I have started to write my own little personally story. I haven't named it yet so I'll have to get back to you on that! LOL!
So here it is:

Chapter 1: “Rainy Nights”

It was a rainy night, as Katana trudged down the dark alley. She hated the rain; it always reminded her of that night. That night-it had been raining too. Her parents had just walked into her room to say goodnight when there was a knock at the door. Her father opened it and then… Katana pushed the memory to the back of her mind. Now ten years later, the memories of her parents murder were still burned into her mind. Katana closed her eyes against the wall of emotion that beckoned to be released. “I.. can’t cry.” she murmured to herself. The words seemed to comfort her as she continued her journey back to the dojo.

As she reached the door, the light outside came on ;and a little old man stepped out. “Katana-san, where have you been? I was becoming very worried.” Katana bowed quickly before she replied, “I’m sorry, Master Jin! I lost track of time while I was walking.” Master Jin smiled, “It’s all right, Katana; I was just worried, that’s all. Now come inside and get warm. You must be cold in that wet kimono!” She allowed herself to be dragged in side the dojo and then into her room.

Once she was alone, Katana changed into her sleep gown and grabbed her robe before heading to the kitchen. There she found Master Jin making tea. he looked up when he had sensed her presence. “I thought some tea might help to warm you up more.” He said taking the tea pot away from the fire. He had begun to pour Katana some tea when she asked, “How was class today, Master?” He stopped pouring the tea and looked up at her. “Umm.. it was fine.” Master Jin quickly averted his gaze and finished pouring her tea. “Now drink it before it gets cold.” Katana took the tea and began to drink it. ‘Something must have happened. He has never been so high-strung over me being late before.’ Katana thought as she looked across the table to her Master who was fidgeting. “I guess I’m going to turn in now. Goodnight, Katana.” Katana watched him closely as he retreated to his room; then, she did the same.

Katana tried to go to sleep, but it would not come. Her spirit seemed troubled. *Bump* Katana sat up from her bed roll. *Bump* There was that noise again. She silently crept to her door and peered out of it. Darkness was all she saw. *Clash* She jerked her head in the direction of the training room. *Clash* It sounded like two swords against each other. Katana tiptoed towards the noise as it became louder and more intense. That’s when Katana saw Master Jin and some other man fighting. The other man pulled a hidden dagger from inside his robe and with one swift motion stabbed Master Jin. Katana gasped and ran towards her master who was now breathing very heavily; but she had been so intent on getting to him that Katana didn’t notice the other swordsman disappear out the door.

“Master Jin! Don’t leave me!” Katana cried. She ripped her gown into shreds trying to make bandages to help stop the bleeding. Master Jin caught her hand and held it between his own. “Ka-tana..” he gasped. “You must leave…before the Kobayashi find out who.. you are. They will.. kill you.” “Hang on, Master!” Katana began to wrap the wound again. He again grabbed her hands. “It’s over…Katana, my life is over. Take this.” He pulled out a necklace with a small dagger charm on it. Katana took it and put it around her neck. “You must remember, Katana, that which is sealed… must….never be opened.” With those words, Master Jin closed his eyes and passed on.

So did you like it? I thought of it then I asked Ittoshi to help me with some details. Well I've gotta go. Talk to you guys later..hopefully I'll have another chapter by then!

Ps: Here's something funny that happened to me yesterday: I was walking up to the house where I babysit. It was like 6:45am and I was still half asleep so I didn't notice that part of the garage door was down. I walked right into it. Thank God, it didn't hit anywhere important. Just my head! lol! I have a bruise and a little circle where I hit a bolt on the door.
