Chapter 270: Saiga and Shizuha


    "Stop acting like a kid and enter!" stated Elder Hayato


    Saiga nodded his head and pushed the door open of Ryozanpaku, as he entered.


    As the door was opened Saiga saw his old friend Akisame Koetsuji standing there with his arms folded around his chest with a smirk on his face.


    "Akisame!" eximed Saiga in surprise as he thought that his father brought him here to meet Akisame but he wasn''t sure as he knew Akisame stopped talking to him when he found out that Saiga has entered the path of Satsujinken.


    "Long time no see Saiga!" Akisame said.


    "Were you the one who asked Father to bring me here?" asked Saiga


    "No I am not, it''s someone else and that person is waiting for you inside so let''s go," Akisame said.


    Saiga nodded his head but became more confused seeing Akisame''s attitude.


    Akisame brought Saiga and Elder to one of the rooms beside the dojo and stopped there, "You and Elder can go inside that person is waiting for you"


    Right now Saiga had many questions but no answers, he knows that there are other masters in Ryozanpaku but he didn''t meet any of them while on his way here but that''s OK, as they wouldn''t want to meet him when he is there enemy but he didn''t even hear a noise and the whole Ryozanpaku was silent and since his own informants keep eye on it, he knows how rare is it for something like this to happen.


    ''Am I getting ambushed or something?'' thought Saiga for a fleeting second but remembered where he was standing and opened the sliding door.


    The moment Saiga stepped inside the room, he was stunned as his eyesid on the woman sitting in the room.


    A tall fair-skinned woman with waist-length dark-colored hair that has a hime-style hair cut with her bangs were cut in a short fringe that reached cheek length and framed the sides of her face with some strands hanging between her eyes and thick strands in front of her ears that hung over her shoulders with elegant bands holding them (while part of her hair flowed freely, some of her hair was braided by the nape of her neck and the rest was held in ce by a type of spiraling band), a slender yet noticeably curvaceous and athletic in built with ratherrge breasts. She was wearing a long floral kimono with two red hairclips. With a single nce, Saiga knew that one had a small knife while the other was carrying lock-pick.


    Yes, the woman was Shizuha Furiniji wearing the same dress with the same hairstyle as the time when Saiga has firstid his eyes on her 18 years ago.


    Apachai, Kensei, and Sakaki were hiding in the dojo, now had their ear on the wall which was joint with the room in which Shizuha and Saiga were meeting. While Shigure, Tochumanru, and Noir were hiding inside the roof in the attic right above the room of their meeting while Miu was making tea for her father and mother ready to bring it to them.


    Before Elder brought Saiga they had already decided to not meet Saiga before he meets Shizuha but with their curious nature, they couldn''t stop themselves from finding out how the meeting goes hence their they were hiding from the old couple while spying on them wanting to know what Saiga''s reaction would be but no one would have guessed this reaction from him.


    Thick, almost corporal killing intent was released from Saiga''s body as he looked at the women wearing his wife''s face. As a master of disguise, Saiga knew how easy it is to wear someone else''s face, so when he saw his dead wife in front of him with a smile on her face how could Saiga not think of it as a n to hurt him.


    "How dare you? How dare you wear my wife''s face!?" shouted Saiga as he dashed towards the women in front of him to rip that face of her.


    The masters though weren''t expecting this still reacted fast after hearing the thick killing intent from Saiga''s voice. Sakaki, Apachai, and Kensei broke the wall and entered the room surrounding Saiga, Shigure along with Tochumaru and Noir jumped down from the attic standing in front of Shizuha with their weapons in their hand.


    "What were you trying to do with my daughter, Saiga?" asked Elder Hayato standing right behind Saiga Furiniji.


    "She is not Shizuha father! Shizuha died 16 years ago, Don''t you know about it already? Didn''t you picked Miu from around her dead body?" asked Saiga


    "Hmnp! As if I would not know who my daughter is, she is Shizuha Furiniji, Miu''s mother, and your wife. Have you been fooling around in thest 16 years that you don''t recognize your own wife?" Elder said


    "What the hell are you say-"


    "The day when Miu was born you said ''Even if I have to make a river of blood I would do it if it ensures the safety of you and Miu'' I was really happy when I heard it," said Shizuha interrupting Saiga with a smile on her face as her eyes teared up.


    Saiga''s mouth was open in shock for the next minute unable to speak at all.


    Seeing this reaction of his, the masters of Ryozanpaku rxed and got away from him as they knew that he now believes the one in front of him is Shizuha and not someone else wearing her face.


    "H-How!?" finally when he opened his mouth this was all he could speak as he choked up before speaking the rest.


    "When I found her, she was still alive but barely so I used my ki to keep her alive until Akisame and Kensei came to save her but she fell into aa and only recently did she woke up and when she did we started looking for you!" exined Elder Hayato.


    Saiga couldn''t believe what he was hearing but then there was proof in front of him so how could he deny it and why would he even deny it when he was the one who prayed for something like this.


    "S-Sh-Shizuha!" called Saiga as he slowly walked towards her.


    "Yes, husband"
