On his first misson he gets the plans but 'Yuki' another spy has fallen for him...
Moon lay on his back with his hands behind his head. He could still feel her lips on his and wish he haden't pulled away. What was he thinking? He was only just out of the monastry! At the age of 5 he had started training untill now, 10 years later. He groaned a 15 year old shoudln't have to put up with that. He rolled over and looked at her. He had to hand it to her, she was gorgeous. Big eyes with long eyelashes. Short black hair that came just to he shoulders. Her lips were medium sized, and her skin pale white like most people. He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. She smiled and snuggled closer. Moon thought about moving back a bit but instead he let her.
When the sun was low in the sky then next morning Moon awoke, he expected Yuki and his plans to be gone but she was sitting looking outside. She smiled warmly.
"Good morning" Moon patted his chest where the plans remained.
"Don't worry i didn't take the plans " she said and stuck her toung out at him. Moon nodded and started to fold up his bed roll.
"Come on, Edo is still a whole day away. We better start walking" Yuki smiled at his idea. And as they started walking down the hill Snowhalk wondered if she should tell him about her?, her real name? She sighed, better not.
As they reached the town there was alot of comotion. Market day. There where stands everywhere, selling fruit, clothes, lucky charms, and a weird stall that read 'Dr.Fish Magic Young Water' a woman put her hands into the water and she flinched twice as little bubbles swarmed around her hands.
"Tiny little fish" Yuki whispered"that eat the dead skin off" Moon nodded. When they reached a nearby well a bunch of kids were standing next to it. 4 kids were surrounding a smaller kid. Moon groaned Bullies... The biggest kid pushed the smallest kid. So that must be the leader Moon thought.
"Everyone in OUR town can fight! Can you or are you stupid?" Yelled the 'leader' to the smaller kid.
"stupid..and dumb!" said another one with a squeaky voice.
"It's fighting thats stupid." said the smallest one who was fighting back tears.
"we shouldn't get involved" said Yuki but its sounded like she did.
" I must, or all my teachers have wasted their time" Moon said as he strode foward to stand in front of the smallest kid, looking at all the bullies.
"Who are YOU?" asked the leader."what do you want?"
"Im saving my friend" The bully read up and down his shirt sleeves that read 'Bound for Edo'.
"you are from Edo, he is NOT your friend" the bully spat.
"he is today" Moon replied calmly.
"oh you'll be sorry!, my father was a samurai!" He said brandishing his fists.
"he doesn't knwo whbich one but it's true!" said the squeaky kid. When the leader was about to throw the first punch, it looked like it was in slow motion. Moon lazily side-stepped it sending the bully into the dust. The next kid went to punch Moon in the stomache but Moon tightened his stomache mustle just before his fist met home. And with a sickening crack the bully let out a reflexive cry and clutched his hand. The last 2 ran off. Moon grabbed the leader by the collar.
" Did you know the gods roam the earth to make sure people like you arn't causing trouble?" The bullies eyes went wide.
"i think they are giving you a second chance." Moon said as he let go and the bully crawled away. He turned to the small kid.
"your ok, just go home now" The young kids just stood there for a second, smiled and then ran off.
"that was brave, im proud of you and you didn't cause much attention." Moon nodded as they set off on their journey once again down the road.
Once they were in the woods the sun was finally setting. A rustle in the bushes made Snowhalk grab Moon hand.
"what was that?" She asked with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Just some birds, as he rolled out his bedroll and say on it. Maybe they could talk tonight?
"what's your real name?" Moon asked. "I will tell you mine?"
"........Snowhalk" She said with a bit of hesitation.
"Im Moonshadow" Moon said without hesitation. Snowhalk sat down on her bedroll.
"How old are you? Moon asked. Snowhalk was wondering if this was atrap to see how skilled she was or if he really meant it.
"15 and you?"
"15 and counting " Moon said with a smile. Snowhalk moved closer to Moon. This time Moon didn't even have to think about if he let her stay there or not. He could trust her right? Snowhalk leaned in again. Taking in his smell. He smelt...nice. She slowly let her lips touch his, and before she knew it they were kissing again. Moon didn't know if he should pull away, he didn't want to. What would his teachers say? They would probably ask him how he got into that position in the first place. Snowhalk cupped Moons face. Well she just made up my mind Moon thought as he placed one of his hands on her cheek, and then pulled her closer with his other hand on her waist. Snowhalk was enjoying it as much as he did. At that moment she wasn't thinking about anything but her and Moon. She didn't care about the plans. She didn't care that if she didn't get them she would be killed. If she had died then and there she would die happy in Moon's arms.
