Kanashimi

"Well shit" Kenzo thought as he looked at his village

Earlier that day, Kenzo and his team went on a expedition to wipe out some of the Marauders. The Marauders are barbaric devils, who rip and tear to get their way.

At the time, Kenzo and his team of warriors had all the information about the Marauders that they needed. Their base, fighting tactics, and everything else in between. But this evening shocked them.

As they got closer to the base. The team of warriors got more and more suspicious. Not a single Marauder was there, so where could they have been.

Suddenly, arrows fleew out of the trees, pouring down like rain in every direction.

"Shit! They ambushed us!" Kenzo thought, annoyed.

Suddenly, Kenzo bolted toward the tree stumps and kicked each of them with all if his might. All of the Marauders fell with confused expressions on their faces.

Kenzo drew his blade and started hacking each and every Marauder. He would instantly cut down one and bolt toward the next one. Not even one hundred Marauders could stand a chance against Kenzo.

Originally, Kenzo was born with a gift. As a kid, he was always faster, stronger and smarter than every other kid. As he got older, he found out that these abilities could prove useful in the Army. He had all of the key aspects of becoming a good soldier. He would run through any enemy with ease, and he was even promoted to a general. Things have been going well for him his whole life.

After Kenzo was done with the Marauders, him and his team traveled back home.

When they were at the entrance, all they could have done was shiver in fear in grief.

"That back there was just a distraction!" One of the soldiers yelled.

"Why the fuck didn't Kenzo stay then!" Another one of the soldiers yelled.

After this was exclaimed, Kenzo's crew turned in the direction he was supposed to be in, but he was already off.

Gasping for air after running for hours, he finally came to his family's house.

His Father's decapitated head was meeting him at the front porch.

He cried in fear, hoping to see what else was inside.

He trudged on, and he saw his mother and sister's corpses on the floor. Blood was on the walls, the ceiling and stained on their dresses.

"Who the fuck did this." Kenzo screamed with tears in his eyes.

Kenzo loved his family more than anything. Every day, after a successful expedition, his mother would make him any treat him and his sister wanted. They would laugh and jump in joy every day. On top of that, his dad would take Kenzo out to his favorite blacksmith and bye him whatever sword he liked. Life was good.

As Kenzo kept tearing and screaming in anger, he came across a chest under his family's carpet.

A note was on it, which read "Happy 18th Birthday Kenzo!"

He grabbed it and opened the chest, and he found a katana. It was the cleanest a weapon could ever be. The sharp edges, and the clean aesthetic to it was unbelievable. It was the finest sword in the country.

As Kenzo gripped the sword, his eyes poured down a waterfall of tears as he imagined being able to celebrate with his family.

At the time, Kenzo's team had caught up to him and entered his house.

"General Kenzo, you are about to be demoted from your title of General, because you are about to Die!" One of the soldiers said.

"What did I do wrong Yoshi?" Kenzo replied confused.

Yoshi originally had a strong rivalry with Kenzo. If anything, Yoshi could have been General as well.

Yoshi drew his sword.

"You knew you were the strongest, why didn't you stay behind? You know the Marauders like the back of your hand!" Yoshi replied with tears in his eyes.

Kenzo sighed.

"Why can't you just leave me in peace while I grieve? Clearly my whole family died!" Kenzo said.

"And so did other families, because of you." Yoshi replied in anger.

Yoshi started slowly stepping toward Kenzo in a gloomy manner, but just as he took even a step, Kenzo suddenly dashed towards Yoshi's direction, and he was past Yoshi in matter of a mere millisecond. Suddenly Yoshi's corpse was sliced in half. It was a clean cut across the torso and groin, which caused Yoshi's whole body to fall onto the ground. Kenzo looked at the ground, disappointed and depressed. The rest of the team suddenly all charged at Kenzo, seeing that Yoshi was going to be their future leader, but Kenzo just sliced straight through all of them in an instant like a butter knife and some bread. 

"Why has it come to this. My Family, dead. My friends, dead. Everyone, dead." He thought.

"I know how to fix this" A mysterious figure said as Kenzo looked up. 

"WOAH. Where the fuck did you come from." Kenzo replied in confusion.

"I am an oracle, I was instructed to inform you of the prophecy, Kenzo Matsumoto." 

"Of what prophecy?" Kenzo replied, confused.

"You are to go to the four corners of earth, and find the shards of the Black Blade, and use it to kill the leader of the Marauders, Tatsuki Kanashimi"

"Huh, sounds fun." Kenzo replied,
