" Friend we mean now harm, we are Just weak Traveling scholars. we were wondering if we could hitch a ride till Kitsuki district, we can discuss the price. " Explained James looking at the Wagon as he waved the white cloth with one hand and money in other.

Soon a door of the wagon opened and a figure walked out of it showing all his 32 pearl white teeths, " Hello I am Hito Sanada owner of sanada wagon, we always welcome a good business. "

Hito Sanada is a muscular well-built man with wild long black hair tied into a large mane. Hito is a lone samurai who travels to perfect his skills. Hito Sanada is the male lead of the Crying Heavens series and one of the series's most known characters, the other being the Main protagonist and Female lead Tokogawa Masako. Confident in his abilities, Hito enjoys the thrill of fighting against strong opponents, hence he left his village to challenge strong opponents to refine his skills. Seeking enlightenment with each encounter, he constantly journeys in order to improve himself. During his travels, he met Tokogawa Sukehime and her grand daughter Tokogawa Masako who seeked this help. Outside of battle, Hito is a crude but easy-going man, caring only for money, sake and food so under the promise of huge fortune by Sukehime the decided to help the grand mother and daughter duo.

Though Hito is a swordsman with no loyalties to any lord, a Rounin. It is often stressed in the series Hito has a "Sword spirit". His character origin was originally based around the famed swordsman. Hito was originally trained by the master swordsman Haohmaru, but Haohmaru eventually passed away due to old age pretty soon Hito developed his own techniques to create a wholly unique and powerful fighting style that was his own. So strong were his blows that they warranted tales of his strength, some saying he could cut down the supernatural or even mountains in one fell swoop, which was complemented by the heavy weight and density of his sword. He is also often accredited to defeating most of the series's villains.

" Hello, Mister Sanada I am James Alpucci, this is my colleague Malinda and these are our bodygaurds and maids. " introduced James, as he and the rest of the team bowed according the cultural equity of Edo Japan.

" Oh! I see. I believe you are not from around here." said Hito.

" yes, we are schoolars from west traveling to gain more knowledge as they as 'Traveling thousands of miles is better than reading thousands of books.' please forgive us if our Japanese is a bit rude " said James politely

" no my friend your Japanese is better than mine, if not for your skin color and facial features I would really think you are a born and raised Japanese " replied Hito and continued " If you do not mind, can you tell me how did you guys end up here in the middle of no where. after all its rare to see western people here. "

" Boss Sanada, since you look like my long lost Brother I will tell you but I would like you to be discreet about this matter, We landed here after using Teleportation Rune given to me by my master after encountering certian troubles. currently all we know is that we are in wandering forest of misty peak and have to reach Kitsuki District " explained James with sincere expression. Leon, Janet, Ava and the rest looked at James Dumbfoundedly. what Long Lost Brother?, what Teleportation Rune?, what Master?, what the fuck, Is he trying to solve the scenario or whip out a new one.

" oh, I see.. " contemplated Hito, Hearing hesitation in Hito's voice James quickly add " Mister Sanada doesn't need to worry about getting in to trouble. all our troudle have been dealt with, all we seek right now is a new beginning at Kitsuki District. "

" Haha, since Mister Alpucci has guaranteed, I will take your word for it. Now if you do not mind my humble wagon then 1 gold coin per head, 9 people 9 gold coins please. " Hito is clearly confident in his abilities, still he does not want senceless trouble since James has guaranteed he does not mind making a little money.

As soon as Hito said this a anger filled beautiful, dulcet voice sound from inside the Wagon, " we have already booked the complete wagon how can you make deal with other people. " the voice become clearer as a young, flawless, undulating female figure walked out of the wagon.

James choose to ignore this voice and hand Hito 10 gold coins saying, " Mister Sanada here 9 gold coins and extra gold coin for your services and troubles. "

Reciving a huge tip Hito was exhilarated and said " please call me Hito, you do not have to be polite with your long lost Brother. "

Seeing Hito and James smiling shamelessy ignoring her, the young, flawless, undulating female figure became exasperated, then she shouted pointing at James, " hey you did you not hear me that the wagon is already booked. "

" This must be Mrs Sanda, Hito your really have peerless taste when it come to women. " said James.

Hearing James the female was dumfounded, before she could react Hito shamelessly said " Thank you James, but do not prasie her too much she is already proud by nature. "

The young, flawless, undulating female is non other than Tokugawa Masako the Main protagonist and Female lead of the series Crying Heavens. Masako is a beautiful young teenager with long black hair that is usually kept up into a low ponytail or low twin-tails in one or two red ribbons that are wrapped around them at the back of her head, gray/grey eyes that sometimes turn red, long natural nails. She usually wears her shrine maiden outfit. even though the outfit was loose and baggy it still did not manage to hide her hourglass body giving her a undulating figure. Being the youngest of all the prince and princess with least claim to the throne Masako choose to become a priestess like her grandma.

Masako is known as a compassionate, kind, caring and considerate woman in the series. She showed great sympathy toward everyone, even her enemies. This was seen when she tended to Hito's well-being despite him being a Rounin. She also had compassion and sympathy toward her enemy. Masako was also very good with children during her lifetime; no matter what village she went to while traviling with Hito, the children were always fond of her. Masako was also very devoted to her duties as a priestess and princess completely incorruptible, not even after defeating all her brothers and claiming the throne, she choose to forgive all her siblings and restored their status to nobels from royal prisoners and provide each with territories.

Seeing Hito shameslessly take advantage of her Masako tremblingly pointed at Hito and said, " do not think I am easy to bully, do you want me to call my grandma. " then see turned to James as she add " are your eyes blind how can you even think that I am married to this trash. "

" hey! I respect your grandma's strenght that does not mean I will take your mockery " said HIto

" same goes for me, I respect you as our driver that does not mean you can take liberties with me. " said Masako, " now return their money, the wagon is compelety booked by us remember. "

" little missy that was before you broke my wagons steam engine, I need this money to repair the engine in next village. unless you can pay for the repairs please do not butt in. even though these corpse puppet are doing good pulling the wagon they are still not fast and efficient as the steam wagon. " explained Hito.

Masako still contemplating how to retort even what Hito said was reasonable but she did not want to see this guy smug... but then another croacky voice sounded from the wagon " Masako do not cause trouble, time is tight just follow Sanda-San's arrangement"

Hearing her grandma's reminder Masako nodded and said " you heard grandma, time is tight hurry what ever you are doing here. " as she walked back in to the wagon.

Ignoring Masako, Hito turned to the team and said " James-san this ones wagon is small even though you have paid more then enough you still have adjust "

James nodded and said " Hito-san, as long as there is enough place to stand it will do as its better than walking miles aimlessly. "

Hito's brightend as he said " then I welcome you to Sanada Wagon "

under Hito's the team enter the wagon one by one, the large container sized wagon subbenly became congested.

" the wagon has 3 rooms, 1 hall, 1 restroom plus kitchen and rest is the storage space. 2 rooms are already occupied. so how about the female rest in the last room and us male can rest in the hall. after all it will be along journey. " said Hito looking at the team.

The Team nodded and the female's walked in to the room as Hito and the rest made themselves comfortable on the couch.

[ every one keep your m-chat line open, share the location. be on alert I do not know when the ambush will happen but it will happen soon according to the original works. ]said James through the M-chat.

[ what are these cropse puppet ] Asked Mira through M-chat.

James did not answer, not because he hated Mira but he was to lazy to explain and was waiting for someone else to explian.

[Corpse Puppet, are nothing but man made zombies and they are controlled by the creator's spiritual power. hence, cropse puppet. ] explained Malinda. being the teams, guide it was her jod to keep the team updated on the scenario but since James had take the reins till now she was caught a little off guard.

[ what! What kind Zombie is 3 meter tall and so intemidating. ] exclaimed Luka.

[ man made zombie in the sence, Yin Yang masters of this world have a unique corpse refinement technique which allow's to refine the bodies of the dead in to zombies with supernatural strength, defense and sometimes eve abilites also giving comlete control of the corpse puppet to the refiner. ] elaborated Malinda.

[ It still does not explain the 3 meter tall beasts covered in bandages outside pulling the wagon. ] said Justin, clear they were scared by the intemdation of the the corpse puppet.

[ The Refinig technique of these yin yang masters is bit special it allows to refine the corpse of the Yokai's. the 3 meter tall corpse puppet pulling the wagon are excatly the physical type humnoid yokai. ] said Malinda.

[ What! Yokai also leave corpse after extermination. ] exclaimed Ava

[ elemental and mental Yokai's don't leave behind corpse their bodies disintegrate and dissovles into the nature. but physical type yokai's are different they are usually created using cropes so they leave behind corpse. I also seen in the series that these Yin Yang Masters have techniques to conquer elemental and mental type Yokai's... yep there are many unreasonable abilites in this world.] said Malinda.

[ this yin yang masters seem very interestin occupation do not you thing ] said Janet.

[ yes it is. there are different types of yin yang masters. like how Tokugawa Sukehime is yin yan master proficient in controlling and summoning Yokai while Princess Tokugawa Masako is proficient in prayer's, talismans and kendo. ] replied Malinda.

[ Interested Janet, I think this occupation will suit you abilites. with your M-chat you will be more efficient in controlling the yokai's. ] replied Ava.

[ Yeah, but it will be only limited to Corpse and yokai ] replied Justin

[ according to the city governments records Yin Yang master is a 7 star occupation with infinite potential, many top universites provide different course on this field, especaily the Immortal Sura University it has many researchs in mythical related fields, they also have a scholarship for yin yang masters but competetion will be hard counting in students from the 2500+ cities. ] explained Malinda.

[ Just 7 star] scorned Mira.
