Stitches get Bitches! | Tenchu Onikage SI

[BoofusRufus]

Imagine this, you go to bed after a long day in 80 degree weather, only to wake up completely different!

"What the Fuck!" I screamed as I jolted from the ground. Hearing my voice was far too deep for what it usually is, I noticed that my arms were different. "Why am I so white? I might be Caucasian, but I sure as hell don't look like wall paint! Why am I so pale?!" Checking myself over, I can easily tell that I am not how I looked last night.

Standing up, I can easily tell that I grew a foot taller. "Damn 7 foot 1! Not even my cousin was this tall!" Saying this was a surprise could be the understatement of the year. He was 7 feet even. With some poking and prodding I came to a few conclusions. "Damn, I'm built like a brick shithouse! Long black hair, milky skin and a voice that could collapse a house! Must have hit the jackpot!"

After checking myself out I noticed something else. Covering my legs and feet were a unique pair of boots. Clearly Asian in design, plated in intricate yet sturdy designs, you could mistake them for well made museum pieces. "Why are these so familiar..." I thought, getting the vague feeling that I'd seen them somewhere. Regardless I stand up and begin walking in a random direction.

"Damn this forest is dense! I can barely see the sky through the canopy!" Trudging through random brush and theory branches as if i t didn't affect me, which it didn't! "I am very happy about this! I would have bled like a stuck pig before, take that nature you have not beat me yet!" With a bit more enthusiasm I sped up to a jog, easily passing trees like I was driving a car "Not even winded yet I'm going so fast! This is amazing!" Now at a sprint everything is a blur, my feet barely touching the ground at this point, I eventually reach the edge of the forest. "Yes! Finally out of that forest! Now what do we have here?"

Looking out of the treeline, I could see what looked like a village. "Well ain't that wonderful! Maybe I can beg some food off the villagers" with a leap I made my way towards the hamlet in the distance, turning the vague shadow into a clear view. Standing on a hill overlooking the town, rather than looking full of life, its deserted. Clearly half destroyed, there is not a single soul in sight. Not a whisper, not even the cry of a cat could be heard. "Well that's not good... Might as well see if there's anything I can salvage" with a bound I send myself hurtling into the village proper, landing with a muted thump. "There really is nobody here, its a ghost town. Lets see if there is anything worth collecting while I'm here".

Going from house to house, I collect anything of note. Preserved meat, soap, the odd intact spare piece of clothing, that is until I find a fancy half cracked hand mirror. " I can tell that this is clearly an Asian body in an Asian land, its time I see what I look like for real!" Picking up the mirror and gazing in, I'm shocked. "That's Onikage! I know him, he was in the tenchu games I played when I was younger!" Staring back at him with a shocked expression was a man with a bleach white face, black hair reaching his shoulders. His face painted with serpentine shapes around the eyes and mouth, like a nightmare in the flesh. "Well I am not getting laid looking like this anytime soon! Wonder if I can find somewhere to get rid of this getup" only to have my thoughts interrupted by a sound coming from outside.

"Come out Onikage! We know your here!" Yelled a feminine voice, yelling out into the ether for anyone to hear. Startled from my thoughts I turn toward the door, only to see a shape blur towards me, "Grahhh!" With a mighty crash I am thrown through the huts wall, dead center in the town square.

"Onikage, you will pay for what you have done!" Hearing this I could barely turn toward the voice before I am slashed across my back. "Fuck!" In pain I sweep my leg towards my attacker, only to be met with a clang! Standing there, blocking my kick with his sword was a man with grey hear in ninja gear. "I will kill you here and now for the suffering you have caused, Onikage!" Preparing myself for a fight, I pull my leg back and as if on instinct, kick behind myself, "Gah" I hear a pained grunt echo behind myself. Unfortunately I can't look to see the person as the man in front of me slashes at me with his blade. "Hah! Rikimaru, just as brash as ever! Diving straight into the fight without a bit of hesitation! Very well, I will give you this fight!" With a lunge I drop kick towards Rikimaru with my full strength, forcing him to block as he skids back several feet.

"Keep it up Azuma!!!" Chasing after him I give a quick jab, sloppily punching towards him as I am not quite used to this body. With a swipe he attempts to slice my arm off, only to miss as I pull back quicker than expected. Only then do I get knocked off balance, A weight settles on my shoulders as I stumble on one leg, "I'm not out of this yet" says a feminine voice, aiming a blade at my face as I stumble and roll. "Hyah!" I grab her leg and toss her towards Rikimaru. There I see her clearly, black hair tied in a tail with a short skirt wearing a skimpy top that barely covers her cleavage. "Ah Ayame, I was wondering if that banshee cry was you! Clearly you were not trained well if you make that much noise!" I mock as she scolds at me from a distance.

With a shout she rushes at me, twin Tantos gleaming in the sunlight as she rushes forward, "Ayame wait!" Rikimaru calls, only to be ignored as she charges. Nearing me, she slashes down towards my legs, only to be met with a burst of sand "Argh my eyes!" With a kick I smash her face with my knee, breaking her nose and sending her flying again. "Ooph" they cry as she crashes into Rikimaru, knocking him over with her weight, "Well this is my time to leave, we will meet again Azuma Ninja!"

With a leap, I land on a collapsed beam, hopping my way out of the village while bleeding from the gash on my back.
