Part 7

"Hey then, how about you hang with us until we figure out what the problem is," said Naotsugu.

"Hm,m what are you talking about," said Akatsuki.

"Tell her about it, mister strategist," said Akio playfully.

"You're right. We shouldn't leave her alone," said Shiro.

"Yeh, Don't leave Suki out of this," said Akio.

"Akatsuki, didn't you say you had a thing against joining a guild," said Shiro.

"Correct, I choose to be an assassin to avoid all of the politics," replied Akatsuki.

"Yea, that's kinda why the three of us aren't in one either," said Shiro. "But now that none of us is in front of a computer, we're probably better off banding together for our safety,"

"You sure really want me in your party, Sir Shiro," asked Akatsuki.

"Yea, Suki is going to join the party," said Akio Excitedly.

"It would be awesome to have you along with Akatsuki," said Shiro.

"Okay, then from this moment on, I shall be your ninja, and you will be my lord," said Akatsuki.

"My ninja," said Shiro.

"Shiro, when a ninja swears his or her loyalty to you, they are forever under your command until they break that oath or they end up dying," said Akio.

"Sir Akio, you are well versed in the way of the ninja," said Akatsuki.

"But isn't that a samurai's job," said Naotsugu.

"Now there are different kinds of oaths," said Akio.

"Akio, are you sure you're not a ninja with your mask covering your face and your knowledge of ninjas," said Naotsugu.

"No, I'm not a ninja, just a ninja fan," said Akio.

"Anyway, Lord Shiro, you have saved me from the direct and awful fate of being trapped in a man's body. My code of honour requires me to pay back the debt I have incurred," said Akatsuki. "even if it is a small kindness, I'll pay you back by ninja and serve as your bodyguard,"

"Umm, well, thanks for that," said Shiro

"Alright, team, let's do it," said Naotsugu.

Everyone looked forward to what the future had in store for them.
