She wasn’t sure why he brought her out here all alone. I mean, she did love how beautiful the Shimada Clan’s garden in Hanamura was, but she wasn’t typically here and most likely not supposed to.
Her main job was to be Hanzo’s bride and that was all to it. A two-dimensional figure to only serve him is what his father intended her to be for him, yet Hanzo thought otherwise. He knew she could be more than that.
"___,“ The young master said her name, gazing up at the cherry blossom trees as she followed him, "I think it is time.”
'Time for what?’ she thought in her mind, for she wasn’t allowed to speak until told to. She followed the rules his father gave her by heart.
"Time that I teach you the skills of a Shimada.“ Hanzo pulled out a dummy from a shack. It was made out of cloth filled with hay wrapped with rope along the ends. There was a stick along its back to prop it up. It was shaped like a human body or at least an attempt to. A small, red heart was painted on the chest of the dummy, right in the center.
She watched as he grabbed a typical bow and arrow made out of wood and then handed it to her. She looked at the details of the bow and then to her husband’s face with utter confusion. Why is he teaching her? Isn’t this forbidden?
”___, the Shimada Clan has numerous enemies. They will do anything they can to bring us down and take our territory and goods away from us, even kidnapping our beloved. It is a dangerous world out there, and I want you to stay safe at all costs, my dear. I will teach you what I know about archery. Are you up for the task?“
"Yes, I’ll do what I must.” She nodded and a fiery passion grew in her eyes.
The young master saw the determination in her eyes and chuckled lightly, a half-smile forming on his cheek. “We begin.”
Of course, she couldn’t quite hit her mark of the heart. She even missed the dummy most of the time. Her position would be off, and he would point it out and corrected her.
She had numerous tries, yet all had failed. She felt like this task is so basic, yet she questioned if she was too narrow-minded to even get the concept of a bow. ‘I’m such a disappointment. A disappointment to him. A disappointment to be his wife.’ Tears began uncontrollably filling her eyes as the weight of dishonor weighed down on her.
Yet, Hanzo tilted placed his hand under her head and lifted it up to make her gaze into his soft, patient eyes. He smiled pitifully as he wiped the hair away from her face. “I know you did your best, but you don’t have to worry. It will take time for you to master archery, my dear. Let us rest.”
Six months of sweat and tears had passed by. Hanzo had kicked it up a notch. Martial arts and harsh exercises were added to their secret training regimen. ___’s muscles would scream for her to stop, yet she pushed onwards through thick and thin in order to better them. To better her defenses as a whole.
But their main focus was the archery, of course. One hour of launching arrows at the same dummy. She was able to hit the dummy, but never quite hit the heart. Came close to it, but not quite on the mark.
Yet, she steadied her position, facing her target perfectly perpendicular. Hanzo watched underneath a tree, leaning against its trunk with his arms crossed. She inhaled and held her breath. She let go of the bowstring and hoped.
The arrow sliced through the air, zooming at an ungodly speed. Then, the head sunk deep into the dummy, piercing through the other side of the chest.
The young master grinned and clapped. “Strike at the heart. Well done, my dear.”
She cheered and jumped in her own triumph, yet she stopped herself at how childish she was. A sheepish look grew on her face.
"Don’t worry, ___. No one is watching, I made sure. Go ahead.“ Hanzo laughed.
"I did it! Woohoo!” She shouted into the sky and raised her fists in the air.
"And for that, I’ll give you a nice glass of fresh water as a treat. You look tired out.“ The young master went to go fetch her water, but then an arrow landed by his foot. He stopped and picked it up. A note was attached to it.
'May we explore outside of the Shimada Castle? Perhaps a date?’ The note had read. He turned around to see his wife smiling. He heaved a chuckle at how sweet it was. "Getting cocky, are you?” He grinned. “I will take your offer. You deserve it, for you have truly have stricken at my heart."
