The Forgotten Shogun

Intro Scene From ever since I’ve known myself, I’ve been able to see things that others…simply...cannot. I was trained in the way of the sword, in the ways of the shadow technique of the olden days. *sword unsheathes*. My brother and I were two sides of the same coin, for light cannot exist without the dark, neither can the dark without light. Kyousei: Kosen Shinen, KURU!! Kosen/Shinen: Yes Father. Kyousei: That will be enough training for today. You have to rest for tomorrow’s Moonlight spirit fest. Where you will finally be inducted into the Yamigaki clan of our ancestors, Thus carrying forward the Shadow Blade technique to other generations. It has been thirteen hard years my sons, but today will be your last as children. Tomorrow you are men. Kosen/Shinen: Yes Father. Kyousei: SARU!! Kosen/Shinen: *bowed their heads and left the room* Kyousei Yamigaki, 25th head of the ancient Yamigaki clan. Thought to be the most feared and revered since Kyometsu the devourer. Given the name Kyousei the Unmovable, he was a massive man to his peers, standing at 193 centimeters, 89 kilos. With straight long black hair like that of a majestic stallion with the muscles to suit. And a body covered in scars from the many battles that he had fought. Wielding the Chimei-tekina kubomi, the ancient Blade of the Yamigaki clan, he was one of the strongest shoguns of the western region of Japan. *Later that night in the dormitory* *Kosen rises up from his bed to see his brother awake sitting on the window frame* Kosen: Shinen, what is wrong my brother? Why can you not sleep? Shinen: I really do not know my brother. I have this sense of unease that just will not leave me. Kosen: Do you think it is caused by the unrest of the village? Shinen: Hmmm, I do not believe that to be it brother. You know we have a strong connection to the spirits, and they speak to me and tell me that something is coming, something that none of us would have prepared for. Kosen: Try and get some rest Brother, we have a big day ahead of us. Shinen: Alright brother. *Shinen stares up at the moon* Shinen: Beautiful. *The next day* Kuronai: Wake up young masters, you have slept for a bit too long, you do not want to anger your father. It is time for your morning incantations. *Kosen wakes up* Kosen: *looks around the room* Huh??,*sees shinen still asleep*. ... Shinen…get up..., Shinen…Get Up *no response from shinen*. Shinen!! Hayaku oki nasai!!! Shinen: HUH!!!?!? HUH!!??, come on maaan gimme 5 more minutes… >_*Kosen stares at Shinen -_-* Kosen: *whispers* I call upon the spirits of the eastern winds. Shinen: Hmm?? >_>. Kosen: Kazekyofurendan!! *A major gust of wind sweeps shinen out of his bed and through the window* Shinen: ehh?? 0_0 Kosen: 0_0 Shinen: WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Kosen: -_-… I told you to get up. Kuronai: Young masters… >_>…I believe… its time to go. Shinen: MMMM… >_>. Kosen and Shinen, twin brothers and sons to Kyousei Yamigaki. Soon to be inducted into the Yamigaki sword clan. Kosen, first born and being the more serious of the two, excelled in the mystic arts and was more knowledgeable than his brother. Shinen, was much more lax than his brother, but his physical skill and ability to use his senses were unmatched compared to his brother. Despite his lax attitude, he was seen as a peerless fighter at close quarters. Although at their young age, they were seen as the future generation of swordsmen of their time. Both have short black hair, a medium built body size standing at 178 centimeters. Kosen: Where is Father at this current time, Kuronai? Kuronai: I believe he went into the mountains on a scouting mission with his other commanders. Shinen: He could’ve sent them alone. Why did he choose to go with them? Kuronai: That… I do not know, but he instructed me to tell you to continue your usual training and meet him at the temple at noon. Kosen: Alright, Shinen lets go. Shinen: Mhmm >_>. Kosen: You really still hurt over that… Shinen: >_> yeh…I fell from over 30 feet… if it wasn’t for the tree below me. I may have died… Kosen: May…emphasis on may HAHAHAHA Shinen: LETS JUST GO!! *After finishing their morning routine, the brothers went on their way to the temple to find their father* Shinen: What do you think he wants to talk about with us? Kosen: What do you mean? Shinen: He always takes us to the temple when he wants to talk to us about something…or scold us -_-. Kosen: Us? You mean you…remember you were the one always getting in trouble…-_-. Shinen: Really… Kosen: Yes, for the pot you broke, the curtain you cut, Oh! and the other curtain you set on fire. Shinen: I find it's crazy how you remember all of these things *chuckle* honestly Shinen/Kosen: *Laughs* *The brothers get to the top of the hill and see their father staring off into the distance at the top of the temple* Kosen: Father, we are here. *Kyousei turns around* Kyousei: My sons, I am happy to see you are well. Shinen: Father, why did you go with the scouting party earlier on today. Kosen: Shinen hold your tou--- *Kyousei raises his hand to stop kosen* Kyousei: Do you have a problem with my actions, Shinen? Shinen: I just believe that you did not have to put yourself in danger for a measly scouting party. And why did your commanders go with you? Kyousei: My dear boy, this is what I brought you here to talk about. Shinen: *Shinen turns and looks at Kosen(told you) :P* Kosen:*Kosen looks away* Kyousei: I had gotten word from one of my commanders that the rivaling provinces of the west had rallied under Laito Khan, and word had gotten to him that I was still alive. Kosen: But father, I thought you told us you had relinquished your title as the shogun of the Okoyama district. Kyousei: You see, my sons, I did not relinquish my status, I was banished and was set to be executed. Shinen: WHY!!?? You were the great sage of the west , the one who killed Hyoshi Tonro. And brought further expansion for the Okoyama province. Kyousei: *sighs* The day after that very said battle, I did something that I should not have done. And I have lived with this for my life. How do you think I got this scar above my brow? From a battle, no, I got it from Laito Khan. Shinen/Kosen: WHAT!!?!?
