"Of course, Togashi-san, You have my absolute permission to do as you see fit. As I said, I am your canvas."
She smiles and looks into the woman's eyes before a slight grimace overtakes her face.
"Well, as far as the wounds go, let me continue the story. So, my grandmother possessed a great hatred for my mother, father and I. She carried that hatred with her. It fueled her to do some magnificent, but terrifying things. It all culminated in the War of the Burned Wings, against the Phoenix. She was slain there, when the firestorms of the Phoenix legions were unleashed against the Matsu in her unit. I believe that when she was burned, her spirit was in such rage that only Toshigoku could house her."
Another long drawn out breath.
"So, year passed and nothing really changes until one day, the Steel Chrysanthemum appears with all of his followers. She was there with them. She came into our home and tried to be friendly with us, but when the bastard killed his own brother, she turned. I am not sure of what all the details were as I was not there, but it's my assumption that she killed my mother and father and came with the Steel Chrysanthemum's warhost to kill me as well."
A cough, and a smile.
"So, I woke this morning to my room being completely empty. My budoka missing, and not even a cloth to cover myself with. When I called for the guards, they said my Grandmother had come to collect everything earlier this morning and she would be waiting for me in the dojo."
"I arrived at the dojo and immediately we locked into mortal combat until I prevailed with the assistance of Fuwa, who handed me his bow to deliver the final shot. My grandmother was slain yet again, and then priests were fetched to heal me and see to the proper procedures."
"My wounds were closed by the Water Kami. An odd sensation, to be sure. One moment to have your innards in your own hands, a mess blood, fabric, and grime, to the next moment having them back inside you, completely as if they were never displaced to begin with."
