Part 4
"My parents?", Kai objected.
"My parents may be inverted psychos, but they could'nt have done something like that..."
"Whats done is done, and I would feel uncomfortable showing you the evidence to prove it, I even have trouble believeing someone would do anything like that. The truth of the matter is that your parents have dishonored their clan and dishonored their village. They went into hiding because they didn't want something that they could've had if only they asked, but instead they took it and the lives of all your relatives. The only thing we couldn't give them is control over your destiny. We were quite fortunate to have found you running from them - their tyrrany - because now you have your own choices to make. You are free, and we are also free to give you the option to join us and continue our traditions and perhaps make new ones. You belong to this village just as much as you would have belonged to your parents before they slaughtered the family you deserved. Now you should be nearing the legal age where you obtain citizenship, and have full rights under the laws of this country to defy your parents and, if you choose, to join us. That freedom we first experienced eight decades ago continues to shape our laws and regulations within our own community. You are just as important a member of this village as I am, or any of us. What we have here is a somewhat utopian society. There is hardly anyone to threaten us, not that we couldn't retaliate decisively; I mean we're a ninja village - even the shopkeepers know how to defend themselves and how to win a fight. We are entirely self sufficient because we live off the land as much as we live in it. Internal struggles are also a trifle, because we depend on our families' training methods to enforce the peace. In every case, at least one family has the upper hand on any member of another because of... well, I'll have Booshi explain that to you later."
"Booshi?"
"Oh, were are my manners? He even had asked that I be the one to introduce you to him," He pointed at the ninja in the Fedora. "Allow me to introduce you to Booshi Obake, one of our villages finest."
"Finest what?"
"I'll let you figure that out while he's training you." Booshi's eyes showed his pleasure for just a moment, not too long but just enough for Kai to see it himself, then faded into his relaxed stare.
"Well, I can see that you're just about to have an anurism... or maybe its me, but you should get to your new living quarters."
"Thank you for taking me in today," Kai said.

More Questions:

1) Does my story remind you specifically of any other story you've read?
2) "If looks can kill"... do you prefer that it refers to someone's eyes or physical form? grrrowl....
3) When you take a three day weekend, and you can't blog what do you say?

a's to q's:

1) only a little, and I'm pretty picky about what I call a Naruto ripoff...
2) I like to say that looks that can kill should only work on the opposite sex.
3) I like to put it in the form of a question, I'll be back on monday.
