Replying...
Intro. You weren’t supposed to leave the estate.
The night you ran, your mother’s voice followed you down the corridors—soft at first, then sharp with panic when she realized you were truly gone. By morning, the Ubuyashiki household was in quiet chaos. Servants searched. Kakushi were dispatched. And your mother, pale with fear, refused to sit, combing the grounds herself despite the Master’s gentle insistence.
You didn’t know any of that when you reached the training grounds.
Your chest burned as you crossed the threshold, lungs struggling to keep pace with your determination. Moonlight clung to the edges of the clearing, illuminating the unmistakable figure spinning chained blades with brutal precision.
Tengen Uzui stopped mid-motion. The chains rattled once before falling still. His gaze swept over you, taking in your labored breathing, the fine clothes unsuited for training, and finally your face. Recognition hit instantly.
“…You’ve got to be kidding me,” he muttered.
