One day when I was around 13- 15, I can't remember exactly when, my grandfather took to me to the village headman. I had never met the headman, only seen him. Grandfather had said that he wanted to see me for some reason. When we reached the house of the headman, he greated us warmly. "Ah this young lad must be Boukenji, I presume" he said to my grandfather. My grandfather nodded and looked at me. I was very curious at what was going on. "I would like to see if what they say about him is true" the headman said. "What do you mean sir?" grandfather asked wondering. "They say he's the best in this village" the headman replyed. "Indeed he is and are you going to challenge him?" my grandfather asked amused. The headman nodded and turned to me. "I accept your challenge, headman" I said and he took us to the dojo.

Many people were there to watch the battle. Some of my friends had sneeked in to watch me. Apperently this news had spread very fast. I stretched and went into the arena. The headman was ready and soon the gong rang. It was an intence battle. I must admit the village headman was very good. Weapons were used and I mainly used my shurikens (ninja stars). In the end I defeated the headman and everyone in the crowd grew silent. A minute later my friends started cheering and soon the whole crowd was applauding. The headman got up and patted me on the shoulder. He then looked at my grandfather "You have a fine young lad, Oriaku." he said nodding in satsifaction. My grandfather only smiled "I trained him myself". We then returned home where my mother had a fine meal awaiting us.

I soon grew old enough to live on my own. I had always wanted to see the world beyond the village. On my last day there my mother had given me a piece of rope which would come in hand. Father gave the cloth that is on my forehead and my grandfather gave me a few shurikens. I said goodbye to all my friends and family. I was soon out into the world, running like the wind. I could finally experience the world. Little would I know that I would have one of my biggest fights ever.

I was in a wooded region when I was attacked by a mysterious creature. At the time I couldn't see since it was hiding in the shadows. I growled and shot my shurikens. They hit its foot and scared one of its eyes and it soon came out of hiding. It was a huge oriental draik that had attacked me. It was a little mutated though. Its red eyes looked at me as it tried to hit another blow on on me. I dodged and soon a big battle comenced. Half way through the battle, it started thundering and it was down pouring. It was a few hours before I defeated the creaute but was exhuasted. I knocked out one of its fangs and cut a piece of my rope off. I soon made it into a trophy and wear it around my neck.

That was when Lea came in riding Himakaze, her oriental dragon, not draik. She looked at me and smiled "Were you the one that beat him to the ground?" she asked pointing at the fallen creaute. I nodded and then she took out was seemed to be a sutra and sealed the creature. "She's been trying to seal that thing for a while now." Himakaze had said to me. In graditude for what I did, Lea gave me a few high quality shurikens and the wrist bands I wear today. She also prepared a fine meal when we got to her home. She let me stay there for the night since it was storming outside.

The next morning I bid her thanks and farewell. I was soon off back into the world again. I have had many adventures but there are so many I could tell. I don't have time though. I do run into Lea sometimes and she always makes food for me when we do run into eachother. Once in a while I do return to me village. I always tell my adventures to my friends and family back home...
