It had been a long time since the man known as Kashi had returned to the sea country. Hell, even to him it had seemed to be some sort of awful roaming that had grown in his heart. He quickly sat on the beach front, eating a small melon he looked to a familiar spot that had once been his own training spot. Master of the Kenjutsu arts had taught him all he needed to know. Sensei Saiku was one of the few greatest fighters in this region. He had spent many days and night staring into the starry skies. His goat like deminor at the time had grown to something he hadn't been before and yet it grew to his liking. The Goat man smirked as he recalled his training from long ago. It had been so long. Even the rustle headed young child that trained with him and his life long friend would stare at him in the battle field.

-Flash Back-

Saiku would stare down the long area with his two prodigies as they began to train. Kashi starred at his opponent who just so happened to be quiet an amazing girl. Her body was well built and her beauty only matched just so slightly. Kashi stood in front of her as he began his training in the Kenjutsu ways. She was young as well. He pale skin and cold look gave truth to her appearance as a young female of the Hozuki blood line. Yes, she was made of a liquid which made training a little more understanding. While Kashi was known as Capricorn to most, she would intern be called Aquarius. They would begin.

The girl would come at him with a quick slash. Her hand would tilt off the hilt and a quick slash erupted from the blade. Kashi was quick in his movements as he moved from side to side, dodging her abilities. She was quick to judge this man who seemed to be well disciplined in the arts of the extreme. Calu, the Hozuki student, would take her move and slash from the air. A quick dodge to the left would be countered by what seemed to be the Goat's only way of movement at the time. He was clear to not draw his sword until absolutely needed. A simple move from left to right was all that he could meet. She would practice her offenses while he learned the ways of the defense.

Kenjutsu was a simple art in Kashi's eyes. THat didn't mean it was wrong but more or less used for a defense to him. There were other sword arts that were better for fighting but Defense was important. The Hozuki was quick with he weapon. It began to blur almost instantly in his eyes. Kashi felt the wind and knew it was coming and cuting close. He moved to his left, he had no idea what was in store.The girl measured with an intense attack and with that, he would be forced to draw his sword. She was using strong attacks and the blocking was needed. His reflexes needed to be honed and quickly made more of a stance in his eyes.

Kashi turned quick as Calu came at him. Her long hair slithered in the air as the young man with horns watched her. He truely loved this girl and yet knew that nothing could happen in the long run. He was quick to watch her as she moved. His distraction would cost him. Her beauty took his eyes off the fight and with that, the blade was swung harshly. It wasn't until Master Saiku stopped the blade that would have been close to leave a fatal neck wound. A stern look from the master would cause the goat boy to take a bow and sit in a strange look. Apparently, Calu was not aware of his distracted nature...

It had been days since Kashi had spoken a word to his fellow students or his master. He stood, starring out into the distant sea as the rain began to pour down. Calu would watch from the distance as she saw her friend and fellow student look with pain in his soul. She dared not speak to him since the incident occured between the two of them. She feared that Kashi may have been made lesser of a man had she appeared. Kashi didn't care. He was watching the rain in it entirety. The drips and drops that were that of his own ability would cover him from left and right. He needed to grow stronger and become a shining star in the lights of his own being. He would find a way to train the technique better and more diverse.

The Kaguya sat quietly for a moment then went back to his room. The rain began to come down in the small room of his own. He began to look around and notice something that was different. The rain would make him stronger in the end. He needed to watch and pay attention as the rain came down forward and more so on the world. The young Kenjutsu fighter would begin his training for the art. As time went on, he would move to the left and the right, paying attention with his ears and not his eye son the rain as it dripped from the top of the room. He would move, left to right. The sword would be pulled so that he could use it as a shield from the rain and simply cut through it as one being. It was part of the Kenjutsu way.

Kashi moved in his own room. His foot movements were getting better as he moved about. He was bale to dodge little by little and as time began to pass, he would take on even the worst of rain. Until the day he was better than the girl, he would have to travel into the depths of his heart. She was quick but hopefully his own body would be quicker when the training was over. For the next few weeks, whenever it would rain, Kashi would lock himself into his room and simply move about leaving himself alone to his own principles. As he moved to his room, his Master would smirk knowing what he was doing and why he was doing it. He hated that he had lost to her in such a way but he would prove himself once again in the near future.

Kashi continued to train. Day after day, week after week and soon enough, he was gathering the skill to increase his ability. Soon, the Kenjutsu student would have to put it to a test. He wasn't sure how but he felt that his skills had grown sharp. The truth was that by practicing in such a small room, he lessened his foot movements. He was able to dodge the rain by simply pivoting on his head or the ball of his feet into the needed position as time grew more and more. Eventually, he would be able to use some complex moves to get past her in the slightest way. Kashi trained more and more. Hopefully, it would pay off in the end and perhaps he could make a better fighter of himself in the long run.

The Rain would continue and as such the young male would continue his own training. The blades came down, one by one. each drop was like a sliver of life that was being drawn from him each and every time. The young Kenjutsu student would push forward in hopes to suppase his friend and fellow sword fighter. Kashi was quick in his movements but watched as his feet barely moved from the spot they originated from. Each time he moved, his body was rotating and shifting so that his balance was quiet well. He was quick in everything he did, making sure he was ready for battle in every shape and form possible. The young shinobi and sword master would grow on these principles. The first one was obvious in his eyes. If the blade doesn't hit the opponent, It doesn't matter what it does anymore. That was his ideal.

Kashi would grow cold and wet in the small room that he had been put into. His body was used to moving back and forth and as such, he needed to warm up. He increased his movements, pulsating the body to produce more heat. The ability to move around more and more was increasing as he continued to pick up his body from the cold and distater. The young fighter would increase his skill by defending himself from his own harm. His blade was no unsheathed and he would use it to block the water that erupted from the sky. He was quick in his actions and with that, he would remain dry and soft. The water was like a blade of its own. Each drop, a senbon from god, used to train his body from that of which it needed. He was quiet impressed with his ability to move as such. Kashi would watch himself grow to be more fluid. Like the Ocean, Like the blades of grass, like a true warrior.

He focused himself on increasing this one part of the fight. He was quick to more about the area with his body in each situation that was needed. He wouldn't back down. Not now. He was close to finishing the final battle in his heart. He knew that in one week he would be up for a rematch against the girl who seemed to be the one who had been friends with him. Calu had not talked to him but had attempted to do so from the beginning. Kashi had just drove himself into his training which separated him from his good friend. It wasn't uncommon for this to happen. He was quiet ambitious in the long run. Hopefully, it would turn out well. His blades and arms grew tired as he flung the sword around in the needed ways. He was quick and with that. He would sit their, in the dark and look up.

The rain poured over his face and refreshed him. He made himself shown to what he could use and what he could not. Tomorrow would be the final test in his ability. He needed to train to become stronger. To fight more. To be the best and hopefully rid the world of an evil by all means necessary. The goat lord, Capricorn, Kashi would hopefully rise to the challange and become something far more than he already was. It was up to his master to decide that if he would learn true skills but his movements needed more work. He would not stop until he had mastered his reflexes and become much stronger than that of all attacks that he grew to learn in the future.

The blades would erupt as the day of the small exam began for the dojo. Students had gone from one way to another, watching the skills they had worked on so much be presented. The rain had stopped and simply let himself show his skills in needed ease. The master known as Sensei Saiku would sit in the distance and watch his pupils fight one another and examine their abilities in what they have learned. Kashi would face off against younger pupils first. Their skills were good but he tended to dodge a majority of the attacks and use his sword to deflect the others as needed. Each blade would clash or cause air to blow by the young Goat as he moved around the field, toying with their movements and their ability. it was fun but he had to keep his focus. Each and every person seemed to be in top shape. When a senior apprentice tapped the arm of someone they were done and had to sit out.

As the battle continued, only two would remain. Kashi and Calu. It would seem that it was a rematch of the ages for the friends. Calu was impressed with his skill up until now. Both knew that they would go full force and simply take the manuever. Before this battle, Kashi was the one who wanted to charge in and attack Calu but this time, both stood and watched. Kashi began to grow confident in his attack and even removed himself from his stance as he watched his opponent. Calu questioned the idea and simply took the chance to attack as needed. The girl was quick in her movements. Each blade was something of a drift in the wind. Kashi could not only see the blade but hear it and feel the wind it dragged. As the blade came by him, he was quick to move. Instead of moving left to right, up or down, Kashi grabbed the handle of his sword. Gripping it in a reverse grib.

As the blade came at his face, He erupted the sword from its sheath. The blade would still face down from the sword of Earth. Instead, the blade would be blocked by the bottom of the him and pushed up so that it moved above his head. That was an advance move for such a young one. His movements had improved so much that even the smallest attacks could be blocked easily. He was in tune with his abilities. Calu grew angry by this. She would continue to swing the blade left to right. Each time, she would miss only to see Kashi bob left to right. He was quick to move and with that, he made his opponent do all the work. She would attack, he would dodge. It was something he noticed in the long run. He could tire her before the end of it all.

The Master watched with a smirk on his face. He knew Kashi had grown strong. Calu began to blow her cool as she went for a swing to end Kashi. The master intervened, similar to that of before but this time for a different reason. He could tell in Kashi's eyes that if the attack had come to fruition, that the young Goat Lord would have been forced to fully attack. His blade was swift now. He had done great with the reflexes but ultimately, it was up to the master of the dojo to tell him if he was to pass or not. Calu fell to the ground, tired and exhausted. Kashi, on the other hand, remained collected and sat down, facing his master and opponent and good friend. She had seemingly lost but it would not sour the relationship between the two. Hopefully, however, they both could move on to the next step.

Kashi began to think about another time. This one was quiet interesting for both but in the end, Kashi and Calu would have to train together. Kashi looked out into the stars and remembered the day. It was bright out and the sun was pouring down on them in the tropical isle known as the Land of Sea. Master Saiku stood on the top of a large rock as his two students stood along the beach on the hot but cool sand. He would quickly show them something and they would have to mimic the movements. Kashi was familiar with this training from his stance but this was actual attacking that he was working on. It should be interesting in the long run. Mae was a simple technique. Once in the Iajutsu Stance, the user would simply kneel for a momnet ad then draw the sword, pretending to block an attack.

The sensi's movements would move quickly and strong as they flowed through the air. As he unsheathed his sword, a vacuum of air had pulled out and began to take presence. The students took the force head on. It was quiet remarkable and he hoped that he would one day learn this exact same style. It would begin as such. Kashi took his body and put it in the needed stance. He was ready for anything that might happen. His body was strong and clever in the over all feel of things. Each time, he was able to move to the needed spot and with each moment, he made the stance perfectly. He would kneel, his body in the correct stance and posture. When the master said the ok, he would draw his sword and force it into a horizontal block. Kashi felt secure with his movement and knew in his heart that it was right.

A majority of the class did not understand the movements but Calu and Kashi seemed to gather much from it all. She was quick and so was he. The two moved together as one. Each movement was quick but in the end, he was sure to make it to another pointless area. After a few minutes of training it over and over again. Calu and Kashi would be asked to demonstrate for the class. Calu would attack first. He attacks were strong and with that, she would throw different attacks back and forth. A majority Kashi would dodge with his advanced training. The last one, however came right at his head. As he spun around in an odd turn of events, he would kneel down. His posture almost perfect in everything he did and with that, he would pull out his sword just a little to block the attack.

The master clapped as the two fought. He was impressed with Kashi's rare blocking form and Calu's aggressiveness. The two seemed to get along great and pull the techniques off perfectly. Each and everyone made more and more sense. The young shinobi's would continue to train and pull the sword out as if it was just a normal walk in the park. Kashi smirked as he moved from left to right performing the technique. It was amazing to see himself use the technique more and more. He just needed to practice more than others. His technique was strong but a little faster on the pulling of the sword was needed. Hopefully it would work out in the long run for Kashi and for Calu.

Kashi knew not of what stood in front of him. His flashbacks had continued on the wild journey that was the young man's life before his time with hatred and greed. He was quick to make his own self image his own as he moved around the area in the dark on the sandy beaches. Kashi had lived with the master of Kenjutsu and his dojo for quiet sometime now ever since he left his family back at his home for the renegade lifestyle. Kashi stood with his breath and sword in hand. The young sword master was well adapted to his new form. He had down the extensive training. His body was now one with his sword and all he would do now was increase his handling of the blade that had been given to him. Standing next to the man, in the dark lit area was Calu. The young Hozuki was something of interest in the young man's heart and love. He would guard her even though she too had the ability of the sword.

Lights were quick to fill the dimly lit palace. There, in the middle of the room stood the master of the Kenjutsu arts. He was to teach those who knew not much. Kashi and Calu had become two of his best students with there ability to move and think in the same lines of Kenjutsu. That was one thing that both were good with. The intense feeling flowed through the body of the boy who held his goat like demijohn. The master approached the two students one at a time. Kashi watched the master one good time as he flipped his blade up from his stance. The blade was quick to move up into the sky as if it was something of a rocket nature. The blade flew from the sheath and into the hands of the master who would use the blade to cover his back with a fell swoop. The blade would slide back into its sheath after finishing.

The master looked at the two as he bowed and walked away. His coat would flutter around as he left the area. Kashi and Calu knew what must be done. Practice began as the two got into the needed position. Kashi was quick to make his move early and start from his move. He knelt down, grabbing at anything that may be close to his sword. From there, a simple flick of the knuckle would pop the blade just a little out of the sheath, revieling just a little bit of blade. Kashi watched himself as he tried to perform the technique. The blade shot up into the sky as he pulled it with great force. His body moved as one and with that, he would quickly turn the blade and cover his back with it. He was slow to do this and even his stance was sloppy. Calu giggled at the sight of the young goat man falling over.

It would take time, as most things did in this world. Kashi and Calu spent hours practicing the technique. His arc for the sword was swift and held true but in the long run it was he who would need to practice more and more. Kashi was quick to unsheath but his movements weren't as fluid as need be. The young goat lord knew he had much work to do. That, however, wasn't the problem. It was how fast his rival was going. Calu seemed to have the basics down after just a few uses of the technique. He art was quick to burn but his not so much. Kashi moved to use the technique more and more. The blade erupted from the sheath and with just a few moments, he would be forced to make it work on his own. The blade came up out of the cover and held itself well. There it stood. Hopefully, it would make more sense in the long run to do this with time.
