"Oni-Chan!" Aqua said cheerfully to her older brother Azura.

"Would you stop calling me that?" Azura asked with annoyance in his voice.

"But you're my Oni-Chan aren't you Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked hugging her brother.

Azura and Aqua were siblings and were currently at the library returning books that they had checked out a few weeks ago. Azura was currently 8 years of age has beautiful azure blue hair, icy blue eyes, and white dove wings on his back which he inherited from his mother. Azura wore a blue and silver colored wind breaker jacket with a grey T-shirt, black cargo pants, and black and red tennis shoes. Aqua was 6 years of age, had pretty blue hair, blue eyes, and blue Blue-Jay wings on her back which she inherited from her father. Aqua wore a baby blue T-shirt and a blue skirt with navy blue leggings and baby blue tennis shoes; she and Azura are both bird Faunus.

Azura ignored his sister and returned his book to the librarian then stepped aside so Aqua could check out another book. Aqua read a lot, way more then her older brother, which is how she learned the word, Oni-Chan, which means Older Brother in Japanese. Azura however looked up the word sister in Japanese and plans on giving Aqua a taste of her own medicine if she calls him Oni-Chan again.

Aqua and Azura left the library and went to a Ice Cream café that was across the street to get some snow cones taking a seat in the dining room to enjoy their snow cones.

"So, what did Oni-Chan check out today?" Aqua asked.

"A book about Japanese Martial Arts, Nee-San." Azura replied.

Aqua looked at older brother who cracked a smile, Nee-San meant sister in Japanese, maybe she'll know better not call him Oni-Chan anymore.

"Did you just call me sister in Japanese!?" Aqua asked cheerfully.

"Hai." Azura replied as he ate a scoop of his snow cone.

Azura expected Aqua to get upset like he does when Aqua calls him Oni-Chan, but instead she got happy and excited.

"Oni-Chan is learning Japanese!" Aqua said happily. "Say it again!"

"No." Azura replied in annoyance.

"Please?"

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"Shut up."

"It's cute how you act so Tsundere Oni-Chan." Aqua said laughing.

"Hmph, I'm not Tsundere, you're just annoying." Azure replied eating his snow cone.

"Hee hee, that's what Tsunderes say." Aqua said teasing.

"Oh shut up." Azura replied getting up to leave, Aqua followed him as they ate their snow cones. As they walked outside, Azura pulled his hood over his head to shield himself from the sun, he was sensitive to the sun's heat and tended to sun burn more easily than most kids.

"So, why did you check out that book Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked looking at the book Azura checked out.

A few months ago while Azura was taking Aqua to the library he found a book about a group of warrior known as, The Shinobi. He was fascinated with their legends and decided to try and learn their ways and methods, although many of them were lost and/or forgotten like the Shinobi themselves, some of their arts were still recorded.

"Thought I'd learn how to fight like a Shinobi." Azura replied taking out the book and opening it to the table of contents.

"So you did enjoy that book. What do plan on learning first?" Aqua asked peeking at the table of contents.

Azura looked over the many kinds of martial arts listed and the brief summaries of what they were about.

"I think I'll start with Bojutsu." Azura replied as he read over the summary of Bojutsu.

"Cool, think you can teach me too?" Aqua asked.

"You want to learn martial arts?" Azura asked.

"Yeah, it sounds fun!" Aqua replied.

"Hmm, sure, just give me some time to learn this stuff, I won't be able to teach you if I don't know how to do it myself." Azura replied as he opened the book which had a tip on the first page saying, "Be as silent as the Winter White, as swift as the Coursing River, as strong as the Raging Fire, as deadly as the Great Typhoon, and mysterious as the Moon." Azura and Aqua picked up a few groceries that their mother requested at the market and headed home together, they lived in a beach house along the coastline of Vale, Aqua loved the smell of the sea water and the beautiful view of the sea.

"Mommy, can I go play in the water?" Aqua asked her mother as she and Azura set the groceries on the kitchen counter.

"Sure sweety, just make sure you shower after you're done." Their mother, Kei, replied.

"Okay, mommy." Aqua said cheerfully as she ran to go change.

Azura sat down in the porch under the shade of the deck umbrella as he read his new book, his father, Hinto was there preparing the grill to cook dinner.

"Whatcha got there kiddo?" Hinto asked notcing Azura sitting at the table behind him.

"A book on martial arts." Azura replied as he began to study Bojutsu.

"Planning on being a Huntsman?" Hinto asked.

"Maybe, I'm just studying because I find it's interesting." Azura replied.

"You know your uncle was a Huntsman, he got interested in martial arts around your age, and joined Beacon Academy when he got older." Hinto said.

"Work alongside repulsive humans? I'd rather bath in boiling oil." Azura replied.

"Not all humans are bad kiddo, there are some who get along pretty well with Faunus like us. Your uncle's team for example, he's the only Faunus on his team." Hinto said.

"Still doesn't change the fact that Nee-San was attacked by some dirt bags." Azura replied.

"You got to learn how to let things go kiddo, old buildings are torn down so that new, fresh ones can take their place." Hinto said.

Aqua came running out in her blue swim wear and ran out into the beach to play in the water.

"If I were to be a Huntsmen, I'd be calling my own shots, serving our people as I see best, I'll destroy what's evil, so that what's beautiful is not destroyed." Azura said.

"That's a powerful statement kiddo." Hinto said as he began to heat up the coals in the grill. "Just remember kiddo, follow your heart, just make sure that you don't go down a destructive path, make that the path you follow, is a path with a future."

"I will father." Azura replied as he returned to his reading.

Azura's uncle used to be a Huntsman, that is until he died, it was very sudden too, one day he was off on a routine mission like usual, only this time when he came back, he came back in a coffin; he left Hinto his sword in accordance to his last will. Remembering his brother's sword, Hinto went to go get it, he had no need for it, but maybe Azura does.

"Hey is there a martial art in there about sword fighting?" Hinto asked returning with Sento's Katana sword.

Azura looked through the book and found Kenjutsu and Ryoto-jutsu.

"Yeah, two of them." Azura replied.

"Here." Hinto said tossing Azura the weapon who caught it.

"Uncle Sento's sword?" he asked.

"It's yours now kiddo." Hinto said returning his attention to the grill.

"But father, this belongs to your brother, Uncle Sento." Azura said.

"Was my brother's sword, now it is yours. Take good care of it." Hinto replied.

Azura pulled the blade out of the sheath to see the shining blade within then sheathed it once more, "I will." he muttered as he set down next to him gently and continued to study.

Later Hinto and Kei finished making dinner and Aqua came back from the water having found a conch while swimming in the water. She liked to collect pretty sea shells and had a whole collection of them in her room on her book shelf. As the Marine family ate dinner Azura's mother, Kei, remembered something.

"Oh, Hinto, don't forget, Aqua's birthday is coming up." she said.

"Don't worry, I got something planned." Hinto replied.

"What is it?" Aqua asked.

"You'll see." Hinto replied.

Aqua was really curious to know what her father had in store for her, but she'll find out soon enough when her birthday comes around. Meanwhile Azura was wondering what he should get his little sister for her birthday, he know she loves to sea shells, should he get her a conch? No, she's got plenty of those, he needs get her something unique that she doesn't already have; but what?

"So Oni-Chan, what are we going to do today?" Aqua asked as Azura prepared to go out the door.

"Sorry Nee-San, I'm going out alone today." Azura replied.

"Aww." Aqua said pouting cutely.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." Azura said patting his little sister's head.

Azura went out the door and pulled his hood over his head and began to look for something to get for his little sister. He first went to the toy store to try and look for something, but found nothing Aqua would be interested in, she wasn't into LEGOs, Trains, or Bikes, and she didn't need a beach kit since she always had their mother's gardening tools to use to make sand castles. She wasn't into video games either, the only games she played was Minecraft, Kingdom Hearts and Prop Hunt, all of which they already owned.

Azura went to a plushie shop to see if he could get her something there and found stuffed bears, Dango plushies, and Grimm Plushies, but nothing that seemed to be of Aqua's interest.

He's spent three weeks looking for something to get her, and still he has found nothing, Azura was tempted to get her a Manga, but he got her that last time, it would unthoughtful and uncreative of him to get her the same gift two years in a row.

Azura strolled over to the market place, there was always such interesting things being sold there, just last week, he got himself a Bo-Staff so he can practice his Bojutsu at home. As he strolled through he saw a student from Beacon Academy working his hobby as a Gunsmith, his name was Jet Colt and he worked here as a Gunsmith for his fellow students and other Huntsmen as a hobby which also helped pay off his tuition. He had his collection of antique weaponry proudly on display on the wall behind him, some people will occasionally ask him about them and Jet would gladly explain the weapons' history to them; his favorite one was the Single Action Colt .45 which he had on a little mount on the counter next to him everyday when he was there.

As Azura strolled through the market place his attention was caught by something a Huntress was hosting a little game for children who wanted to become Huntsmen when they grew up, and she even had prizes for them to win. Azura walked over to watch and saw a kid armed with a pair of Eskrima Sticks fighting some Squishy Grimm. Azura watched as the kid slaughtered the little creatures using his sticks and feet to squish the Squishy which were being released in waves. Azure glanced at the Huntress hosting the game and looked at the prizes she was offering which were, Grimm Figurines, Grimm Plushies, Kendo Bokkens, and Hooded Cloaks.

The prize that caught Azura's eye, was the Cloaks, specifically the one that was Navy Blue and had dolphin shaped pins on the collar; Azura approached the Huntress to ask her about the game.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" Azura asked.

"Yes?  Are you here to test your skills on some Squishy Grimm?" the Huntress replied.

"Maybe, what's this game you're hosting?" Azura asked.

"It's quite simple, you get 90 seconds to kill as many Squishy Grimm as possible, kill 20 and you get to pick a plushie, kill 40 and you get to pick a figurine, 60 for a Cloak, and 100 for a Kendo Bokken." the women replied keeping her eye on the stop watch in her hand. "You game?"

Azura looked at the Squishy which were being slaughtered helpless, then at the cloak he wanted to get Aqua.

"Oh yeah, I'm game." Azura said taking out his Bo-Staff.

Azura waited patiently for his turn, when the kid before him had finished and claimed his prize, Azura stepped into the ring which still had a single Squishy hopping around; Azura kicked it aside, killing it and waited for the signal to begin.

"Go!"

Contest Music {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlYGdm2xhQI}

Four Squishy were dispensed from a machine and they began hopping towards Azura who did a basic Bojutsu spin as they hopped towards him, killing them like a bunch of flies flying into a spinning fan. The Huntress took notes of Azura's performance as the next wave was released, eight Squishy. Azura easily defeated them without breaking a sweat, and the next wave came in, 16 Squishy. Azura spun his staff swatting a few Squishy like flies in the wind, then struck, stomped, kicked, and thrusted his staff into the others, killing them with ease.

The Huntress glanced at her stop watch, there was still over 60 seconds to go, and already he's killed 28 Squishy, so far most of the participants had 40 seconds average by wave 4, but then again, the Squishy are a rather weak Grimm, so weak a child a could slay them; the Huntress continued to watch as Azura took on Wave 4, 32 Squishy. This is the Wave most of her participants struggle to get through, but with over 60 seconds to spare, Azura could advance to Wave 5 with around 20 - 30 seconds remaining.

Azura struck a Squishy that had attempted to pounce on him then did a round house swing kick to get a few more and spun his staff then did a type of somersault while spinning mid-air allowing him to take a few more Squishy beneath him as they hopped up and ran into his spinning staff. Azura landed a few more Squishy, killing them under his feet then proceeded to mow down the rest of the Squishy by spinning his staff, sweeping his feet, and striking with his staff. Wave 5 began, 64 Squishy! And he had just over 30 seconds left.

The Huntress was impressed with Azura's peformance, sure he was slaugtering weak and defensless Squishy, but he wasn't fatiguing like the other children were, and he displayed adequate training and skills in Bojutsu. Although this was an activity for children to enjoy, it was also something to help recruiters find potential students to enroll in their academy for Huntsmen and right now Azura was demonstrating the kind of performance she's looking for.

Azura continued to lay waste to the little Squishy that swarmed around him, squishing, stomping, swatting, and kicking the little creatures. With only just under 5 seconds left, Azura killed the last Squishy and won the contest.

"Well done, you just won by completing all 5 waves!  Come over and pick your prize!" the Huntress said.

Azura let out a deep breath as he walked over to collect his prize, that last wave took a little more effort to beat.

"Wow, not bad kiddo, you got some skill." the Huntress said to Azura. "Go on, take your prize, you've earned it."

Azura grabbed one of the Navy blue cloaks which surprised the Huntress, she would've thought Azura would take a Kendo Bokken, after all he got more then enough points to earn it.

"You chose a cloak over a Bokken?" the Huntress asked.

"Yes, my sister's birthday is coming up, and this cloak seems to fit her kinda of style." Azura replied.

"Oh, that's very sweet of you, your sister must be lucky to have you as her brother." the Huntress said.

Azura went looking for a gift wrapping shop where he had Aqua's birthday gift wrapped up in a shiny blue wrapping and Navy blue bow; Aqua loved the color blue. Azura returned home where Aqua was feeding the seagulls, Azura quickly, but silently hid the gift in his room where she won't be able to find it, then went outside where Aqua was.

"Oni-Chan! You're back!" Aqua said happily. "Where did you go?"

"Getting you a birthday gift." Azura replied.

"Really!? Did you find anything?" Aqua asked cheerfully.

"No." Azura replied lying.

"Aww, that's okay Oni-Chan." Aqua said. "As long as you tried, that's all that matters." Aqua added giving Azura a hug.

"So ready to teach me kung fu!?" Aqua asked giving Azura a few soft punches to the arm.

"It's not Kung Fu, but yes, I'll show you a few things." Azura replied as they walked out onto the beach.

"We'll start with the round house kick." Azura said. "First raise your leg with your knee up to your chest then twist and lash out." Azura added as he demonstrated a round house kick for Aqua. Aqua followed and did the kick, performing quite well on her first try.

"Next, we have the front snap kick." Azura said demonstrating. Aqua followed and did it perfectly; the front snap kick was a rather easy kick to perform.

"This next one is bit more tricky to do, it's called a swing kick." Azura said as he demonstrated kicking up a little bit of sand in the process.

Aqua tried it, but failed and fell back bumping into her older brother who caught her.

"Here, try chaining it after a round house kick, it's easier that way." Azura said demonstrating for Aqua kicking up some more sand into the air in the process.

Aqua attempted it, and completed the swing kick, but it was sloppy and clumsy.

"Don't worry Nee-San, we'll work on it." Azura said.

Aqua and Azura spent the rest of the afternoon training working on the three kicks together slowly improving and perfecting their technique, as the sun began to descend they became shadow silhouettes dancing on the shoreline, their parents watching from the kitchen.

"They've got their uncle's fighting spirit." Hinto said.

"And their father's soul." Kei added.

"Think they'll become Huntsmen like their Sento?" Kei asked.

"I don't know." Hinto replied. "But what I do know, is that they're going to grow up to become something great."

A week has past since Azura and Aqua have begun training together and they were learning pretty fast, but they still have much to learn, they're just kids after all.

Aqua skipped as she ate a fruit cup along side her brother as he walked through Vale to get groceries for their parents whom.

"Kung Fu is fun Oni-Chan." Aqua said recalling their training together so far.

"Hmm, well that goes without argument." Azura replied as they came upon the market place again, Jet was at his shop doing his usual business as a Gunsmith; Azura stopped a fruit shop first. His family loved fruits and anything fruity in flavor, it ran in the family, Sento's favorite fruit was Watermelon, Hinto loved Plums, Kei loved Strawberries, Aqua loved grapes, and Azura loved Mangos.

Azura picked out the fruits their parents requested, and paid for them then moved onto get the next items on the shopping list. As they walked to the next shop Azura noticed the Huntress who was here last week was gone, but there was a single Squishy where the game once was, it was busy consuming an empty soda can someone tossed aside.

"Aww, look there's a Squishy there!" Aqua said noticing the little Grimm creature.

"Yeah I see it." Azura replied.

"Can we take it home?" Aqua asked.

"No, you know how they are, it'll just eat the TV, computer and phones." Azura replied.

"Aww, but it's so cute." Aqua said kneeling down to look at the Squishy which ignored her and continued to consume the can.

"Come on leave it alone." Azura said taking his sister to resume their shopping.

They continued on and got the rest of what was on their shopping list, Aqua helped carry them as they went to go home with the food. Along the way they came across the arcade where they decided to play some Galaga and Pac-Man for a bit using some of the spare change they got from their purchases. Their top scores were still there, Aqua - 28,950 and Azur - 28,350; Aqua was always better then him in video games.

"Ready to lose again Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked as she started up the Galaga game.

"Hmph, I've been practicing at home." Azura replied as he set their groceries next to the game machine.

Aqua completed the first three stages as easily as she usually does, she could probably complete them with her eyes closed, Azura could do the same, but there were times when he screwed up and lost a life on the second stage. They enjoyed themselves and played until stage 97 before going on to return home running into a pet store along the way giving away fish that people can capture. Aqua pestered Azura for her try and captured a pair of clown fish, the shop owners gave her a tank with little sea decorations inside to go with them. The tank proved quite useful as it helped carry all their stuff, Azura carried the tank which held some of the groceries and decorations while Aqua held a bag of groceries and the little baggy holding the little fish inside.

"Aww, they're so cute." Aqua said looking at them inside the baggy.

"You think everything is cute." Azura said.

"I don't think Grimm are cute." Aqua retorted.

"You wanted to bring a Squishy home as a pet." Azure said reminding Aqua of the Squishy they found.

"That's different, it's a Squishy, everyone knows they're cute." Aqua replied.

"Most people would view them as a nuisance." Azura said.

"Hmph, well I think they're cute." Aqua said.

"So then you think Grimm are cute?" Azura asked.

"No!  Just the Squishy." Aqua replied somewhat annoyed.

"Right~." Azura said teasing.

Aqua punched Azura in the arm, but Azura didn't flinch; she couldn't hurt him.

"Hey look." A voice familiar to Azura said who stopped to look in the direction the voice came from, and saw a group of three kids standing behind them. These were some neighborhood bullies that liked to pick on Aqua.

"It's the bird brains." the oldest of them said.

Aqua got behind her big brother who set down everything he was carrying behind him with Aqua and took a few steps forward.

"Didn't I beat your face into the cement last time?" Azura asked.

"Heh, that was then this is now, and besides, there's three of us and only one of you now." the boy replied as he and his friend held up wooden baseball bats.

"Hmph, there's no strength in numbers." Azura said taking out his Bo-Staff.

"We'll see about that pigeon!" the boy said he and his friends then rushed Azura to attack him.

Combat Music {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4NscPnkfuY}

Azura didn't flinch and focused his Aura. After the last time this punk attacked Aqua, Azura had managed to unlock his Aura thanks to his desire to protect his little sister; he hasn't discovered his Semblance yet though.

Azura did a triple strike thrusting his staff into the left kid's eye, then swining the other end into the middle kid's head, and quickly following through with a round house swing kick to the right kid, striking all three of them with one swift combo strike. Azure kept the flow going by swinging his staff around over his head then striking the middle kid right in his back. He grunted in pain while clutching his back where was he was struck, while the left one charged Azura.

The left kid charged Azura blindly with seemingly no plan of attack or stradegy in mind. Azura simply jumped over him and swung his staff up and behind him slamming it down into his opponent's head as he turned around. The kid clutched his head and started whining pathetically as he fell back into a trash can, knocking it over.

Azura spun his staff around to intimadate the other two as they turned to face him again, they were clearly having second thought about combating him now, but he could see they were too prideful to turn and run away.

They both charged him and Azura focused his attention on their movements, using his staff to parry and block their attacks waiting for an opening for him to strike. Azura swung both ends of his staff at them to get them to step back a bit then went on the offensive and these punks sucked at defense.

Azura clashed his staff with his opponent's bat and moved it aside then thrusted his staff into the kid's forehead who stumbled back clutching his head. Azura turned his attention to the other kid who was currently swinging his bat at Azura's head. Azura acted quickly and broght his staff up to parry the attack then swung the other end of his weapon into the kid's head and followed through with a side kick then a rear horse kick, striking him in the gut with enough force to knock the wind out of the kid.

The kid fell to the ground gasping for air, then threw up on the ground and laid there.

"Lovely." Azura commented looking down on the boy.

The last one, the boy that was appeared to the ring leader, and the one who attacked Aqua last time got ready to take on Azura solo. Azura looked at his last opponent with a look confidence and fearlessness with his staff in his right hand. The kid raised his bat and stepped forward, and Azura responded by thrusting his staff into his opponent's belly, stunning him, then followed through by turning around and thrusting his staff into opponent's head as he turned back to face him again. The kid stumbled back with his hand on his head, and Azura swung the other end of his staff into his opponent's head, then followed by swing up and around, then down onto the top of his opponent's head causing him to fall to the ground holding his head in pain, whimpering pathetically.

"Hmph, do not provoke a Shinobi!" Azura said pointing his staff at the kid. "Come on Nee-San, let's go home."

Azura then walked off with his little sister back home, Aqua praising him for his performance.

Chapter 4
Azura stood upon some pillar in the water that used to be part of a dock that used to stand behind their house, it was destroyed when a Typhoon struck, and Hinto didn't feel like rebuilding it since they never used it. Azura was currently doing a Ninjutsu exercise that specialized around improving one's balance and focus, normally a beginner like him should be doing it on dry wooden stilts, but these pillars in the water was all he had which were much more difficult to balance on, and if made the mistake of falling he was going to hit some rocks down below, and that would hurt like hell.

"Oni-Chan?" Aqua asked startling Azura who almost lost his balance.

Azura slipped and did a back flip, landing on the pillar again on both his hands and fought to keep his balance; Aqua giggled at this.

"What is it Nee-San?" Azura asked somewhat annoyed.
