Capture!
After the dragon was sealed in Suzumebachi; her reputation changed. She became a feared ninja that was seemingly undefeatable. Where she used to lose to 10 or so Oni and ninja; but now; now Suzume could take on a hundred with no problems at all. When she used to fall under the control of ninja's jutsus; Suzume was now the one in control. The power of the dragon increased all of Suzumebachi's physical abilities and the sharpness of her senses. She also had the Ki of the dragon; a massive well of magic energy. Compared to Suzume's average amount of Ki. With the dragon's Ki all of her ninjutsu were much stronger. There seem to be nothing that could stop Suzumebachi now. She would restore the Ryuyuwakusha's name and put fear back into the hearts of the lazy Oni.
Suzumebachi was in her chamber preparing for a patrol. She was completely nude and assembling her gear on her bed. She donned on black bikini bottoms with large black and yellow ribbons tied at Suzume's hips. Next she pulled on an under shirt; it was made of black spandex. The spandex extended up to make a face mask which covered Suzume's nose, mouth, cheeks, neck, and shoulders. Then weaved into that was a large diamond patterned fishnet; which went from below her arms to just above her black bottoms. Her light tan skin, breasts, abdomen, and Dragon Seal tattoo were completely visible under the fishnet shirt. Then Suzume donned on a two layered sleeveless yellow coat; it had four sparrow coattails. The outer coattails were short; only past her ass; the inner coattails stretched down to Suzume's ankles. The inside was onyx black along with the two collars flipped out. Suzume zipped up the inner layer and then tied a black belt high around her waist. She pulled on black and yellow detached sleeves that covered from her biceps to her wrists. Suzume strapped on armor gloves, elbow pads, and shoulder pads. Finally she pulled on black stockings, buckled on kneepads, and slipped into armored high heels.
Suzumebachi turned to the door of her room; now that she was dressed for battle. It was night time; the Oni's favorite time to come out and wreak havoc. But now it was also Suzume's time. A breeze passed under her as she came out to the center of the Ryuyuwakusha complex. She looked up into the starry sky while her coattails whipped in the wind. Then in a flash she was gone.
Suzumebachi hopped from building to building searching for signs of Oni activity. She stopped for a moment on the rooftop of a tall building. Suzume glanced around; not even the shadows seem to be moving. Things were just a little too quite; Suzumebachi was getting worried. She shook away the feeling and continued to hop from the rooftops towards the center of the city.
Suddenly she heard a scream from a woman. Suzume followed the sound to its origin in an alleyway. She jumped down into the alley and looked around. To Suzume's right was a woman in a suit and tight mini skirt sitting next to a dumpster terrified. "Get behind me!" Suzume yelled to the woman. The scared woman scurried behind Suzume; just as Suzume flicked out her wrist. Her gauntlets were enchanted with seals that allowed her to summon daggers. The dagger was at least 14 inches in length with a large arrowhead shaped blade.
Suzumebachi glared down the alley; with her daggers up in a defensive posture; as two large Oni crept out of the shadows. Both were seven feet tall with blood red skin; and completely nude. The beasts had dicks larger than any human man; reaching down to the Onis' knees. "Hmph, this is it," Suzume snickered, "I guess that bad feeling was wrong!" She leapt high above the Oni and threw three daggers at each of them. All six hit the mark perfectly and the beasts fell dead. Suzume landed between their corpses as they began to shred away.
Another scream from the woman rang out. Suzume turned towards her; two more red Oni had grabbed the woman and were dragging her away. Suzume looked back down deeper into the alley and saw about 15 or more Oni running her way. In a flash two daggers flew into the faces of the Oni that had grabbed the woman. Suzume charged into the horde; slashing through the first couple. Then she flashed into the air and spun with her head aimed to the ground. A hail of daggers rained down on the Oni. Suzumebachi flashed back to the woman with two knives in hand.
"Are you alright?" Suzume asked the woman. The Oni were appearing out of the shadows; their numbers were back up again. This seemed like an endless fight; but it didn't matter to Suzume. She could do this all night. The woman behind her began to laugh sinisterly. She morphed into an Oni and swung down at Suzumebachi. Suzume leapt out of the way of the attack and threw six daggers into the disguising Oni. She snapped to the floor and spun about. Several daggers flew out from her arms and sunk into the closest Oni charging her.
"Alright, I'll take it from here," Suzume heard the voice of a man behind her. She turned her head to see who or what it was. Her eyes flinched; Suzume couldn't believe who she saw.
"You!" Suzume spawned a dagger between each of her fingers, "You killed my father!"
Suzumebachi remembered when she had a conversation with her mother about the Oni and ninja clans. "Mother, why is Ryuyuwakusha the only ninja clan left fighting the Oni?"
"It wasn't always that way," Aki explained, "When I was your age the Oni only had a couple ninja clans fighting for them. This was partially due to one ninja clan. The Oniwabanshu; they were revered as the strongest ninja clan in history. Your father Hattori Masanori was the leader of the Oniwabanshu when I became the leader of Ryuyuwakusha. The Oniwabanshu fought against the Oni during those times. Obviously our two clans had a healthy relationship; and our alliance you could say prevented other clans from joining the Oni. However, everything changed because of that man. Masanori had a brother; Hattori Osamu; who wanted to be the leader of the Oniwabanshu. Osamu was much weaker than Masanori and could never defeat him in open combat. So Osamu made a deal with a powerful Oni; he would share his body with the Oni in exchange for the Oni's Ki.
