友達 (Tomodachi)

Once upon a time, in the Town of Iga there was a kid named Haya that always sit at the top of the hill. It was peaceful and calm. The flowers wave to the wind and the leaves falling to his heads. Haya laid down the hill to take a rest, until. Her childhood friend named "Kagura" woke him up. He screamed in fear. Because of this, Kagura slapped him to the face.

"Why did you scream at me?" Kagura said

"You scared me!" They argued.

Not to long ago, they are okay. Kagura asked him if he wants to play hide and seek. Haya ran shouting "If you can catch me!"

Haya sprinted down the hill and Kagura running after him. After a few moment, they stop at the top of the hill. Tired of running. Gasping, thirst for water but also, laughing.

Haya saw a flower, on his feet then put it on Kagura's hair. They stand up then Haya laughs saying "Now you look like a total idiot". Kagura tickles Haya on his weakness spot. "What did you say!?"

Their fun was cut of by a explosion "Boom!" they wondered where it came from until smoke comes off to the forest nearby.

Haya told Kagura to stay, as he check the explosion.

It was a portal! Haya wondered "Where does this portal lead to?" then, he hear a deep voice behind him "To the Land of Dawn." Socled to see a Rock man? He stands still in confusion.

"This portal is here, because the Land of Dawn needs help." Haya was a adventurous kid, always ready to help. So, he asked "What help?"

"They need help to restore balance to the two sides." The rock man replied

"The Portal won't close until the people they need enters the portal. Only the chosen ones will enter. It will not close until the people it needs enters it." He adds.

"I didn't ask fo-"

"Grock" he answers before he could finish asking.

"Now go! Leave this place, someone will have to go to the portal to help."

"I can go! I want to help! I'll spend all my time training." said Haya desperately

"Then it's settled. Meet me here tommorow i'll train you."

"Now Leave before someone sees me" he adds.

Haya ran back to the hill with Kagura sitting at, worried. When Kagura saw Haya walking to the hill, her face lit up with joy!

"Maybe It's time to go home, It's getting dark" said Kagura.

"See you tomorrow" she adds.

Haya's face goes down because he wanted to help the Land of Dawn. So he wasn't free tomorrow. Kagura is always worried about Haya, she wants him to be safe at all times. She keeps Haya from making stupid decisions. In fact, Haya wanted to be a ninja because of her. She protected him, and now he'll protect her. So Haya just kept it a secret.

The next day, Kagura went to the top of the hill. She wondered where Haya was, because usually Haya is never late. She heard something to the forest. Curious, she followed the noise.

It was Haya! He was topless and practicing using a katana. Kagura hid to the trees as she watches Haya train. Kagura had a crush on Haya, but she always kept it inside.

Everyday, Kagura goes to the forest to see him

Now, they're old enough. Kagura still has a crush on Haya. She looks at Haya's abs as he flex his hands while slicing trees with a blindfold on. Kagura's eyes filled with love. He wanted Haya.

A few days later, Kagura was given the Seimei umbrella. She have to defend it. Everyone clapped their hands! Kagura search through the crowd to see Haya. He was not there. Her face became sad, but she kept the smile on her face for the crowd.

One day, Kagura went to the forest and he wasn't there. He checked his house, empty. Then she hears someone talking in his room So, she checked it out. She hid behind the door and listen to the the man calling Hayabusa. She was confused, "Who is Hayabusa?". Then, she knew that Hayabusa was Haya. She heard that he will be given a title of "The Strongest Ninja in Every Generation." He was given a title "Shadow". She heard that he was going to defend the Town of Iga without their knowlage.

Not too long ago, She was given the Seimei umbrella, she was also given a title "Onmyouiji Master". Then she heard that Hayabusa is going to help the Land of Dawn and he was going there tommorow!

Kagura stayed up all night waiting for Hayabusa. Then he finally sees him in the sky to go to the portal. Kagura secretly followed him with the Seimei umbrella. After Hayabusa and Grock enter the portal, Kagura went after without him knowing.

But, the portal didn't close...

They aren't the only ones going through the portal.
