In a flashback, it's seen a kid Sakura in kimono, along with her family. They are in front of another family, the boy with them was a kid Ryu.

Mrs. Nakahara: Sakura, this boy is Ryu Hasashi. He will be someone important in your future. So get along with him.

Mr. Nakahara: For the future of Nakahara family.

Sakura: This little kid? Is going to be my future husband?

Ryu: Who do you call little kid?

Sakura: Because you're smaller than me.

Ryu: I thought you arent a girl.

Sakura: What makes you think that?

Ryu: Because you don't have boobs.

Sakura: You little pervert!

Kira: Calm down Ryu.

Kyosuke: We can't began a war with this important family.

Ryu: Okey, mother, father.

Later; on a grass field Ryu and Sakura were calmed.

Sakura: So, what do you do in your time?

Ryu: Training with other kids.

Sakura: Boring. You only think in ninjutsu?

Ryu: My clan must be exist, other clans were murdered. Maybe that's why your family want us to be together.

Sakura: (Little blushed) Alright, you must promise you will be at my side.

Ryu: Okey.

Sakura: What a cold answer.

Ryu: I didn't interact with girls too much. I was just training.

Sakura: Maybe I can train with you.

Ryu: You? Really?

Sakura: It's my secret hobby.

At present; at night; Ryu and Sakura keep talking.

Sakura: That time, you went away. You forgot to tell me your reason.

Ryu: That's why you were angry with me? Sorry.

Sakura: It's okey. Now you must prove to be worthy to be my husband.

Ryu: By training?

It's seen Ryu and Sakura in their ninja costumes were fighting.

Sakura: You have to be strong for the good of our families.

Ryu: Sure.

At next day at school, Ryu was walking carrying some papers.

Ryu: I must take these files, or else I'll get troubles to pass the semester.

Sakura's voice: There you are Ryu!

Ryu: (Realizing her presence) Nakahara… I mean Sakura.

Sakura: You seem busy. And also tired.

Ryu: Well, I was very busy… in my night training.

Sakura: Geez, you're pathetic. (Walking to him) You should be more energetic like me…

Suddenly she slipped and fell on him.

Ryu: Hey… (Blushed) Eh?!

It's seen his face was buried on her breasts, nearly suffocating him. The students were watching that incident.

Sakura: (Ashamed and covering her breasts with her arms) AAAAAH! You rapist!

Ryu: Hey! You fell on me!

Mio: (Arriving and taking the files) Calm down, Nakahara-senpai. By the way Hasashi-san you must take this files to teacher office. The class is going to start in some minutes.

Ryu: You're right. Sorry Sakura see you later.

At third year class, Sakura and her classmates were hearing their teacher.

Teacher: Alright, we'll have a new student. Be kind with her.

Then a girl with brown short hair was in front.

Girl: My name is Nozomi Miyamoto. I hope we can get along.

Sakura: You are…

At break time Ryu was walking as yawning.

Ryu: I should ask Sakura about training not all nights.

As walking he saw a wall in his way.

Ryu: What? Isn't supposed the stairs should be here?

As turning back, another wall was there. He seems being in a closed alley.

Ryu: What kind of magic is this?

He suddenly detected a presence on the roof. Someone was hidden and fell to attack him with a short blade. That was Nozomi in school uniform.

Ryu: Who are you?

Nozomi: So you are the Hasashi kid?

Ryu: (Thinking) "She knows me! Was she send to attack me?"

Nozomi: (Attacking with her blade) You dared… to touched my lady's body with your dirty hands!

Ryu: (As dodging) Your lady?

Ryu was looking where to move.

Nozomi: You're losing your time. I used fake walls to keep away the other students!

Some students were at the fake wall.

Student 1: Why there's a wall here?

Student 2: That's weird.

Nozomi: You can't escape!

Ryu: Oh! There are windows, that's my chance.

Ryu jumped out through the windows to outside.

Nozomi: Damn! I forgot the windows to outside!

A student touch the fake wall and fell to the floor.

Student: What happened here?

There's no one there, only the windows opened.

Later; Ryu was in his classroom. Mio came to him.

Mio: Hasashi-san, you look exhausted, are you okey?

Ryu: Yeah, I just had a drawback.

Mio: Did you know? In third year class, in Nakahara-senpai's class, a transferred student came.

Ryu: Transferred student? And is it a girl?

Mio: Yeah, how do you know?

Ryu: I just guessed.

Later Ryu was walking in school.

Ryu: That girl who attacked me… she knows ninjutsu, like Sakura.

Nozomi: (Appearing at his back) Did you call my lady?

Ryu: Ah! When did you get here?

Nozomi: You called my lady by her name! How dare you?

Ryu: Then who the hell are you?

Nozomi: I'm Nozomi Miyamoto. I'm lady Sakura Nakahara's personal servant!

Ryu: You what?

Nozomi: My family had been serving Nakahara family many years.

Ryu: She mentioned her family hired ninjas as bodyguards. Then you…

Nozomi: That's right! My family is a ninja clan under orders of Nakahara family. My lady needed a friend and a servant to protect her. I was the choosen.

//Flashback//

It's seen a kid Sakura walking as another little girl was following her. That was a kid Nozomi.

Nozomi: My lady, are you going to take a trip?

Sakura: I'm going with my parents, so I'm going to take a tea at that store. You can go with me.

Later; Sakura was in a store as drinking a tea.

Sakura: It's delicious. The tea of this store is good.

She didn't notice a man with black suit was observing her. He was carrying a knife.

Man: There she is! The daughter of Nakahara family. She's the target.

The man run and went to kill Sakura but suddenly someone appeared at his side. It was Nozomi and injured his arm with her blade.

Man: (As bleeding) Ah! How could a little girl injure me?

Nozomi: I won't forgive the ones who try to attack my lady!

Man: Little bitch!

The man attempted to attack Nozomi but she slashed him with her blade, mortally injuring him.

Man: (As dying) No way!

His blood was splashing out to Sakura who was taking her tea calmly. Nozomi moved fast and used a cloth to avoid his blood on her.

Nozomi: Don't dare to stain my lady with your disgusting blood!

Sakura: (Calmly) Nozomi, make sure don't stain this environment.

Nozomi: Yes my lady.

Nozomi took the corpse and cleaned all her action.

Nozomi: My lady, the place is cleaned.

Sakura: Good, let's go home to inform my parents about this attack.

Nozomi: Allow my family to track those bastards who dared to attack you.

Sakura: Okey, make sure of remembering our training too.

Nozomi: Yes.

//End of flashback//

Nozomi: As you can understand, I was close with my lady.

Ryu: I see.

Nozomi: (Angry) Why you got attention of my lady?

Ryu: Well it's something from our childhood. What else you know about Sakura?

Nozomi: And you're supposed to be my lady's fiancee?

Ryu: I only know a little about her.

Nozomi: Do you have any idea how my lady felt after her fiancée abandoned her?

Ryu: Ah! That's…

Nozomi: After your missing, my lady was sad and angry at the same time. That's why she was training harder in her ninja lesson. I was helping in her training too. (Flashbacks about what she said)

Ryu: I abandoned her because I had my reasons, also I forgot that moment.

Nozomi: Whatever! If you're going to be my lady's fiancée, I'll put you in a test!

Ryu: A test?

Nozomi: This night let's meet at the lake park at 11 p.m., don't be late!

Ryu: Eh? Why would I be there?

Nozomi: Or else I'll tell everyone you are a ninja who tries to attack young lives.

Ryu: That's cheating!

Nozomi: Then present there tonight. (Leaving)

Ryu: Damn! Why today, I'm tired.

At a hideout, the boss was with his ninjas.

Boss: Go this night in the city. The warriors failed me, you must fulfill this order. Bring me the Ancient Katana!

Ninjas: Yes, boss!

Later at night; Ryu arrived to the park lake in his ninja disguise.

Ryu: Where's that tiny girl?

Nozomi's voice: Who do you call tiny?

Ryu saw Nozomi arrived, she was in a kunoichi costume.

Ryu: So you are a kunoichi, like Sakura.

Nozomi: Also you are a midget!

Ryu: (Upset) What? Don't you ever look at a mirror? You're smaller than me!

It's seen Nozomi was shorter than Ryu.

Nozomi: Shut up! Idiot!

Ryu: Anyway, why did you call me?

Nozomi: I'm gonna test you if you are going to be my lady's husband.

Ryu: I expected she accept me, even if I didn't want it.

Nozomi: Let's star this test!

Ryu: If you insist. (Preparing to fight) Let's settle this!

Nozomi run to attack him, but Ryu took his katana to defend. Suddenly Nozomi stopped.

Ryu: Eh?

Nozomi: Let me show you what a kunoichi can do.

Nozomi lift a little her leg, showing her panties like charming. Ryu was little blushed to be in shock. But at that moment Nozomi used her short sword to attack in the distraction. Ryu reacted fast and moved back.

Nozomi: You realized my special attack?

Ryu: What kind of special is that move?

Nozomi: Alright, let's see with this.

Nozomi opened her shirt, showing a little her cleavage.

Nozomi: (Little embarrassed) Well?

Ryu: (Disappointed) What are you supposed to do?

Nozomi: (Funny surprised) Ah? You should be in happiness when a girl shows you boobs!

Ryu: I think Sakura's are in better shape than yours.

Nozomi: (Angry) Are you insinuating I'm flat?

Ryu: Sorry, but if I assault you, people would call me lolicon.

Nozomi: (Angry) I'm the same age like you!

Ryu: Don't use cheap tricks, I won't fall in those. I'm prepared for fights!

Nozomi: Do you know what a kuniochi do?

Ryu: Yeah, when I fought Sakura, her moves are too fast but also skillful.

Nozomi: We the kunoichis, use our charming to distract men. Also we become couples, even we marry. In order to be close to our objectives, like steal their treasures and kill our victims.

Ryu: Even you do something extreme?! (Funny worried) I wonder if Sakura…

Nozomi: Why you left my lady's side? I need to know your reasons!

Ryu: Someone died because of me.

Nozomi: What? Did you kill someone?

Ryu: No! It's… (Realizing presences) Watch out!

Suddenly some bombs were launched to them, they managed to moved away at time before the explosion.

Nozomi: What was that?

Then some ninjas appeared, surrounding them.

Ninja 1: We found you! Hasashi kid!

Ryu: You are from the same group who tried to kill me?

Nozomi: Who the hell are those? More ninjas?

Ryu: What are these ninjas? Are they from the mysterious group who are after me?

Ninja 1: So you are the Hasashi brat.

Ryu: Who the hell are you? Are you related with those warriors?

Ninja 1: We belong to Shimomura clan!

Ninja 2: Our boss ordered to take that katana you have!

Nozomi: (Worried) The Shimomura clan? No way!

Ryu: Go for it if you can!

Ninja 2: Don't think we'll be friendly with you because you're a child!

The ninjas attacked Ryu, he tried to handle the battle but the ninjas are many.

Ryu: Damn!

A ninja was behind to him but was killed by nozomi by throwing a shuriken.

Nozomi: Don't get the wrong idea. I have many questions to ask you!

Ryu: Well, thanks anyway.

Ninja 1: That kunoichi, belongs to the Nakamura family?

Ninja 2: It doesn't matter, our target is that Hasashi brat!

The ninjas continued attacking Ryu but he killed mostly of them.

Ryu: I'm killing again. I wanted to forget this habit, but that won't be possible.

The remaining ninjas were few.

Ninja 1: Damn! Let's go back! But we'll take a souvenir!

The ninja launched a chain that took Ryu's katana.

Ninja 1: Alright!

Ryu: Not so fast! (Using hands pose and touched the ground) Come here, Taka!

The little hawk appeared in the smoke and flew.

Nozomi: Summoning technique? But that requires a lot of chi!

Taka flew and recoved the katana.

Ninja 1: Damn you!

The remaining ninjas just disappeared in an instant.

Ryu: (Petting Taka) Good job, Taka.

Nozomi: You were able to use that technique so fast.

Ryu: Yeah, I marked Taka with my blood, so I can summon it at any time.

Nozomi: But those ninjas were dangerous.

Ryu: They said the Shimomura clan, I don't remember that.

Nozomi: I do. They were a dangerous clan who kill many people. Also many clans were killed because of them.

Ryu: That could be mine!

Nozomi: What? Your family was finished?

Ryu: Yeah, those bastards should have attacked my home.

Nozomi: Okey, I'll forgot this showdown, for now you can be at my lady's side. Don't disappoint her.

Nozomi disappeared very fast.

Ryu: Well, let's go back home, Taka

At next day, Ryu was heading to school.

Ryu: (As thinking). The Shimomura clan, I must be stronger to face the leader of that clan. He'll pay for my family.

Sakura: (As giving a soft strike on his back) Hey, Ryu. You look tired today?

Ryu: A little.

Sakura: Did you get into another fight like before?

Ryu: Yeah, also I faced another kunoichi like you. And I learned some your skills.

Sakura: I see.

Ryu: Sakura, after I left you in our childhood, you were training as kunoichi, so I need to know something.

Sakura: What it is?

Ryu: You met men to infiltrate in their dominions. So that means…

Sakura: What?

Ryu: That means… you have been f*cked with a man in a mission?

Sakura: (Angry blushed) WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? I NEVER DID THAT!

Ryu: Really?

Sakura: Of course! I'm still a virgin… (Realizing what she said) What made me to say?

Suddenly Nozomi appeared behind Ryu, menacing him with a kunai.

Nozomi: My lady, let me cut his tongue to silent him!

Ryu: Hey!

Sakura: Take it easy Nozomi.

Nozomi: But my lady! Your parents asked me to test this guy! We can't let anyone to be part of Nakamura family.

Ryu: Well, I was already asked by my family.

Sakura: I know, that's why you need to effort to be my partner.

Nozomi: My lady, are you sure about this?

Sakura: Nozomi you don't to be very polite in school. Just call me Sakura, as my friend.

Nozomi: (Smiling) Yes! Sakura-sama!

Ryu: Well, I'm not the only ninja here.

At the hide out, the boss was reunited with his clan, the Shimomura.

Boss: I'm so close to obtain that katana from that Hasashi boy.

Ninja: Boss, give us another chance.

Boss: Forget it, I hired these warriors, they will obtain for me.

It's seen a mysterious group in the shadows. Two warriors, an amazon and a samurai.

Boss: I, Shin Shimomura, will become the best ninja in history!

At other side, a blue-haired boy was arriving to the city.

Boy: (Serious) I'm here. I have to make pay Ryu Hasashi! He'll pay for what he did!
