It was warm and sunny outside. There was a light breeze. A woman with very long white hair wearing a red kimono with a yellow blossom pattern on it stood in the courtyard of the Amato-ku samurai school with her odachi drawn. The womans name was Misaki Ichizumaru, headmaster of the school. With a single swing from her sword she picked up dust from the ground. She noticed a group of men show up. "Mrs. Ichizumaru, your brother owes us some money for protection with us. We heard you own a fortune and since your brother doesnt have the money to pay up, would you pay for him?" One of the men said. Misaki turned around and said: "I have no brother." "I would have thought he was your brother. Shigo is his name right? He's in his 20s like you." The man said. Misaki began to laugh and said: "Shigo, my great-great-great-great grandson? Sorry but I am well over 1000 years old." She pointed to her black horns. "You see this? I am a demon. But no I wont pay for my grandsons debts that you cannot rightfully claim. Are you going to fight me now?" She continued and put her sword away.

"Beat the old hag!" The man told his henchmen. They attacked Misaki and she playfully dodged their punches. She then pushed against the back of one of them and he flew to the ground. The push seemed to be so full of force that he sunk into the dry dirt. It was her turn now. He then punched another in the chest. Then there was the sound of the mans ribs breaking. A third man she grabbed by his face and threw him into a tree. She then walked up to their leader and picked him up by his neck. "Leave Shigo alone or next time people will have to die." Misaki said and then dropped him. The remaining few who werent injured picked up their colleagues and left. On his way out, the leader stuttered: "Y...y..you monster!"

Misaki then went to the clean wooden walkway of the old school and pulled out a bottle of sake (rice wine), taking a sip before putting it back away. "Where did honor and respect go?" She said to herself.
