Yotsuya - Chapter 1 "Sight of Mayhem"
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
Outside Kyoto
1605 - Tokugawa Shogunate
[Two men are walking down a dirt path]
Young Man - Did you find him?
Middle Age Man - Yes he was in the marketplace in Yokohama.
[Side view of Young Man]
Young Man - What name is he assuming?
[Side view of Middle Age Man with blacken profile of Young Man]
Middle Age Man - He was using the name Shigure Adachi, but was in a sword fight early that day as Ryuzo Adachi.
[Young man with sinister smile]
[Slash to view of bloody sword]
[Middle Age Man on the ground]
Middle Age Man - Why? What is this about?
Young Man - Knowing you didn't even try to kill him angers me.
[Young Man looking down]
Young Man - This is a fitting end for both you and Jubei.
[Young Man putting sword back in scabbard]
Young Man - I, Hideo Adachi, will avenge the death of my clan by destroying its murderer.
[Hideo looking at the moon]
Hideo - I will kill you, brother.
Meanwhile outside of Aizu.
[A Samurai sits on the hill looking over a landscape]
Samurai - What a beautiful day. The Tokugawa Shogunate is a welcomed bit of fresh air isn't it Shigure.
Shigure - Yes Hikou. It seems the Shogunate may turn our country around for the better. Truly a breath of fresh air.
[Walking out of the shadows]
Ryuzo - Oh shut up the both you idiots. I hate being in hiding from something I know nothing about. Being stuck around cleaning up riff-raffs sucks. I'd rather be in Edo.
Hikou - Cleansing the countryside of bandits is perfect. AND How do you not know we were all there...doing something.
Ryuzo - See see...look Hikou can't remember either...Shigure do you have any input into this sad discovery.
[Shigure looking away said nothing and began to remember bits and pieces of a lost day in the three's life.]
1600 - Iwate Prefecture
[Man that looks like Shigure and Ryuzo mixed]
???? - Leave no stone unturned or I'll have all of your heads!
Troops - Yes Sir.
[Flash]
Elderly Man - This tyranny is going to be the death of Kinto and Jubei.
[Flash]
[Shigure standing in the middle of a burning village crying]
Shigure - No I don't remember anything Ryuzo.
[Hikou and Ryuzo disappear]
???? - Shigure...Master Shigure.
[Shigure turns to see a teenage girl]
Shigure - Yes Akane-chan.
Akane - Shigure-sama, I wished to thank you and Ryuzo-sama for your help against the bandits yesterday, but I couldn't find you.
Shigure - No thanks is needed. I am a samurai. It's my job to protect the people of Japan from disturbances like the bandits who came yesterday.
Akane - Are you going to return to Edo, Shigure-sama?
Shigure - Yes I must see the Shogun proper respect for enstating me as a Daimyo of the people of Osaka Prefecture.
Akane - Ummm...May I come to Edo with as a retainer?
Ryuzo - Shigure you better say yes...She is a beauty. And two days we'll have alot of cold nights.
[Under his breath - Shigure]
Shigure - Shut up, Ryuzo.
[Looking back at Akane]
Shigure - Madame are you a competent enough swordsmen to join me?
Akane - I have studying the sword since a young age Shigure-sama.
Ryuzo - Dammit man don't make me come out and say yes.
[Under his breath - Shigure]
Shigure - Shad-dup, Ryu-zo.
[Shigure tightens head protector]
Shigure - Yes you may Akane-chan...Go and tell your parents you'll be heading out with me. And I'll have a sword for you when you come back. Meet me at the road heading to Edo.
Akane - Yes Shigure-sama. Thank you thank you thank you. [squeals]
[Akane runs off]
Hikou - She might be a better swordswomen if we start training her.
Ryuzo - Yeah "training" is what I had in mind.
Shigure - Gawd, I'm stuck with a pervert and a cry baby. How intriguing.
In Aizu Village
Akane - Mother Father, I am going to train under Adachi-sensai. He is leaving to Edo. May I go?
Shinichiro Shigekura - Yokaido Bushin...Akane-chan, Shigure-san was a last resort. Shigure...Ryuzo. They are all...
Kari Shigekura - Aruji-san it's best she find out on her own.
Akane - Father, Adachi-sensei is a brilliant swordsmen and his friend Ryuzo is way better.
[Shinichiro turns back]
Shinichiro - ...
[Kari looks at Shinichiro]
Shinichiro - Take Jinzo Hyoretsu with you. It has served our family well and without a son you are the best suited for this sword.
Akane - Thank you father and mother.
[Akane puts sword in bag and leaves]
Shinichiro - Hideo's operative came by a couple of days ago. Jubei Adachi, the Oni of Iwate.
Kari - Sengumi-sama will deal with this before Hideo can reach his ambitions.
Shinichiro - That's what gets me. This man who helped us with no payment couldn't be the same man that has inspired all of this hatred.
[Kari gets up and wraps her arms around Shinichiro]
Kari - Dear Husband the South Goddess will correct any mistake.
Meanwhile in the marketplace.
Ryuzo - Dammit Shigure choose a sword. My balls are itching. Get that gray one...it's hot.
Hikou - Sex this, sex that...when you're not being mean you can only think of sex.
Ryuzo - So your point is?
Shigure - Quiet you two...I am looking, GAWD.
[Akane runs up to Shigure]
Akane - Hello Adachi-sama. I found you. I was heading to the road. Where is Ryuzo-sama?
Shigure - Nearby. He's busy.
Ryuzo - Busy in her a...
Hikou - Stop Ryuzo.
Akane - Hmmm. Ah Master Adachi my father gave me our ancestral daisho. Jinzo Hyoretsu.
Shigure - Let me see this sword.
[Akane pulls it out of the bag]
Akane - This is Jinzo Hyoretsu.
[Close up of the Blade]
Shigure - The blade is dull, but the black blade is new to me. Ryuzo would love that.
Ryuzo - And some of her p...
[Shigure looks in shock]
Shigure - Ah...this sword is best suited for you then.
[Gives Jinzo Hyoretsu]
Shigure - Let's be off.
Meanwhile in a forested region of Japan.
[Familiar dream]
1593 - Iwate Prefecture
Hideo - Brother I am stepping how you showed me and it's not working...
[A boy that looks like Hikou and Shigure]
Hideo's Brother - Watch, like this...
[Boy does Yokaido Bushin's To-Doushi Attack]
Hideo's Brother - Now make sure you don't step with your right foot...use your left foot as your starter foot and you'll do it right.
Hideo - Jubei, did dad really go to Kyoto for a tournament?
Jubei [Hideo's Brother] - Yes, he's going to go impress the emperor with the art of the Yokaido Bushin.
Hideo - Will dad take us next year...?
Jubei - I hope.
[Hideo wakes up from his dream]
Female voice - What's wrong Hideo?
Hideo - Nothing Yohko...I just had a bad dream.
Yohko - Lay back down. We must be off to Edo in the morning.
Hideo - I'll be asleep here in a second. Go back to sleep my wife.
[Hideo to himself]
Hideo - I'm coming for you Jubei. You better stop him Seiji.
On the road to Edo.
Akane - Adachi-sama why is Ryuzo-sama never around; is he mad at you?
Shigure - Ryuzo is always around don't worry about him.
[Shigure's hair rises and drops]
Ryuzo - Hello Akane...
Akane - Ryuzo-sama where is Adachi-sama? You two are truly masters of Yokaido Bushin.
Ryuzo - Shigure is checking the road up ahead.
???? - He didn't do a very good job.
[Ryuzo turns to see a band of Ninja]
Ryuzo - Great we have an audience.
Seiji - My name is Seiji Yotsuma...and...you're...going...to...die.
Akane - Ryuzo-sama run.
[Blurring around Ryuzo trying to confuse him]
Ryuzo - Akane this is a Kojima Ninja trick...currently he's standing behind me. Sir Seiji I advice you to leave.
[Blur stops behind Ryuzo]
Seiji - So you're familiar with this technique; let's see with you can get past a group attack. Hotsuma and Gentatsu go!
[Standing in the middle Ryuzo has a unimpressed look]
Akane - Ryuzo-sama attack...
Ryuzo - Akane none of them have actually drew their weapons. Samurais do not attack unless they have been attacked...
[Akane to herself]
Akane - He sounded like Adachi-sama then.
[The blurs stop all around Ryuzo and attack but nothing is there]
Hotsuma - Where did he go?
Gentatsu - He must have learned that while fighting a Jyounin. That's the Toichi technique...
[Suddenly Ryuzo appears in front of Hotsuma and slashes]
Hotsuma - ahhhh
Seiji - Hotsuma, nooooo?
Gentatsu - He isn't going to show himself to us until he thinks it's best him to attack.
Seiji - Get the girl!
[Gentatsu runs toward Akane and gets slashed by a blur that flys by]
Gentatsu - He's ghosting his movement...It's the...Shino Toichi...
[Gentatsu falls to the ground]
Seiji - Gentatsu, Ryuzo Shigure Hikou or whatever you wanna call yourself you will die.
[Ryuzo appears infront of Seiji]
Ryuzo - Very unlikely...
[Ryuzo disappears again]
Seiji - So you still wanna play...how about if I attack your woman.
[Seiji runs at Akane]
Ryuzo - Shit, I can't catch up.
[Akane pulls Jinzo Hyoretsu out of her pack]
Akane - Guide me to victory Jinzo Hyoretsu.
[Akane runs at Seiji]
Seiji - HAHAHA DIE WENCH!!!
[Akane sidesteps Seiji's strike and bright red aura fills the area]
Akane - Ryusai...
[A blinding slash stops Ryuzo in his steps]
Ryuzo - What the...
[Seiji falls to the ground and Akane puts the sword back in the saya]
Seiji - You...you...you're one of the eye's of ky...
[Akane looks down and smiles evilly]
Akane - Yes.
[Akane stabs Seiji in the head]
Akane - Now sleep my dear assassin.
[Seiji dies]
Ryuzo - Hmm, Ryusai-Gendo.
[Akane turns and smiles return Jinzo Hyoretsu to the saya again]
Akane - Hehe that was fun.
[Ryuzo walking through Akane]
Ryuzo - If I didn't know any better I'd think you went to the Ryu-zan School in Edo.
Akane - Ahhh...yes sir...I was top in my class...
Ryuzo - Really, I don't care as long as you use your skills next time.
Akane - Ahhh...yes Osamurai-sama.
Ryuzo - Another samurai...dammit Shigure you get out here. Making me do all the work you bastard.
Akane - Mmm...Ryuzo-sama, you and Shigure-sama are the same person?
Ryuzo - It's a long story with no real beginning.
Akane - But you and Adachi-sama look so different and act so different.
Ryuzo - Yeah like I think you're hot as hell and I wanna have sex with you. But Shigure wants to just be you're teacher and Hikou wants a friend.
[Akane blushes and puts her hand over her faces]
[Turns back in surprise]
Akane - Hikou? Who is he?
[Ryuzo's hair rises]
Hikou - I am Hikou...nice to meet you Madame Akane Shigekura. I am the friendliest of all of us.
Akane - You all look so different.
Hikou - Someone split into Shigure, Ryuzo, and me...but we don't know how it happened. But first things. Ryuzo you better clean this up!
Ryuzo - Not going to happen.
[Hikou huffs in anger]
[In their head]
Shigure - Now she knows.
Ryuzo - Took her awhile. Shit I was just gonna tell her.
Hikou - That's never a good idea.
Ryuzo - WHAT, why?
Hikou - The person we were became one of those people with multiple personalities.
Shigure - She'd never understand.
[Out of head]
[Hikou's hair rises]
Shigure - Come, we leave for Edo.
Akane - Ahh...yessir.
1597 - Kyoto
Jubei - Kaneda-sensai the Ryu-zan school of Edo is one of the top schools in all of Japan.
Kaneda - So you entend to destroy your family name by becoming an assassin? No student of the Yokaido Bushin would dare soil the name and be a hired murder...
Jubei - But Sensei we of the Yokaido Bushin adapted the art from a very lethal form of Hikanno, the style that the Shudai Ryu of Ryu-zan use.
Kaneda - True, but at heart you are not a murderer.
