im glad ur back ^^

It's nice to have people who care, thanks ;D

YW ^^ come back more often ok

This is truly amazing and very emotional! I really love everything about this piece! <3 As for a story for this.....

Maybe it happened to be that not so long ago Kyo had been in love with a woman named Reeko and she had been in love with Kyo as well. Kyo, Reeko and Hiryu use to hang out all the time together...until Kyo got called off to war. Before going off to wat, Kyo had asked Hiryu to take care of Reeko for him while he was away and to promise to always keep her safe. Hiryu being the good friend that he was agreed to this and so Kyo went off to war. During the time that Kyo was away, Hiryu and Reeko began to grow closer to each other and soon love had bloomed between them. Both Hiryu and Reeko felt terrible about this because they felt that they were betraying Kyo, but alas they could not hold back their feeling for each other. Well, many months passed and soon Kyo had returned from war and found out that Hiryu and Reeko had fallen in love. Naturally he felt betrayed by both of them and had lost contact with them for some time. Well time had passed and Reeko had ended up getting very sick. She had an incurable disease and died. A funeral was held for her and it was then that Kyo had showed his face again after so long. It was also then that he challenged Hiryu to a battle for betraying him and told him to meet at sunset on top of Mt. Haya (just made that up...haha) 3 days after the funeral. Hiryu didn't want to fight the one whom he still considered to be his friend, but Kyo had threatened to kill Hiryu's whole family if he didn't. So, Hiryu had no choice but to accept the challenge and did indeed meet Kyo on the top of Mt. Haya 3 days later. Well, the duked it out and swords were clashing and angry was flowing through them and words were exchange between the two men. Until at last Hiryu had Kyo knocked down to his knees and it was then that Kyo had asked Hiryu to finish him. But Hiryu didn't want to kill his best friend whom he'd know his whole life and tried to tell Kyo that he was sorry and he didn't mean to hurt Kyo. Kyo became furious by this and rose to his feet and tried to stab Hiryu in the heart. In self defense, Hiryu swifty moved and sliced his friend. Kyo fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then died. Hiryu was devastated as he looked at the lifeless body of his friend and said "Rest in peace...Brother."

Meh...it was the best I could come up with for a spur of the moment story...haha.

wow gety is right that is really creative and well thought out! i like it :D

Amazing what you came up with! I love how you created another character and made the story more believable by adding the name of the mountain, thank you very much for your awesome story, you are amazing! 

Very impressive!

I'm actually glad that the blood is subtle due to the red sky. It really makes you take time to look at the picture. The idea of having a dialog with these characters is very creative.

 

The heck.... XDD I just cracked up

It is like it is Kenshion again! 

Your art style has become so much more smooth and fluid now! I especially like the sparkly background. Why do those always happen in th background whewn two close/best friend kill each other in an epic fight?! AHHH 

WHAT DOES THAT MASK MEAN; I DO NOT KNOW

Thank you very much for the comment, and I agree the killing always happens in background xD About Hiryu he always wears a mask I drew him a few times before, but I cracked it to show the emotion on his eyes when he had to kill his best friend so that everyone can see his baby face crying ;P

ohh wow this is fantastic!
as for why...well...for one i see in the keywords Ninja and Samurai...well back in Feudal Japan, the samurai where seen by many as abusing thair power and status...the Ninja of Japan was brought thier and used specifically against the samurai...the Ninja though where also shrouded in mystery and many villagers thought of them as demons..the way they could disappear at will...because of this many people dident like the Ninja at all....who is to say whitch one is good and which was evil?  but what i see is a classic death match between Ninja and samurai...made even more emotional and intense by the fact that Hiryu who i am assuming might be a ninja had to kill Kyo who i am assuming is a Samurai because Kyo was serving an evil Feudal lord...and probably ordered to do many things some would be considered as wicked....but thier is no lost love between them as Kyo what doing what is demanded of him...because it is a samurai's duty to serve his master....reguardless of how good or how wicked his master is...you do not question orders, only carry them out...Kyo was doing what he believed  was right and honorable and Hiryu was doing what HE believed was Right and honorable and killed his brother/best friend to end his service to the evil Feudal lord.....who is to say who was right or wrong in this decision?

Amazing how you could tell that Hiryu is a ninja and Kyo a samurai just by looking at the tags, and I really love your story! Thank you very much for commenting!

your very welcome ^.^ im glad you liked it. :D

First of all, this is an amaaazing picture! *_* ok here goes my story:

When they were little Hiryu had saved Kyo's life in some way. Kyo's family had then left for another land to join with their warring Clan brothers. As they became older, Kyo had been raised in that lifestyle and had come back to the lands of his childhood with his Clan. Battle of course came from the clan trying to take over those lands. Finally, Kyo and Hiryu met once more... on opposite ends of the field. They shared a moment of reminiscence, remembering that the place they stood had been the place where Hiryu once saved Kyo's life,... then they raised their blades, for neither would back down. Their blades clashed for the lives and honor of their own clans...


That's just what I thought of anyway ^^ I really like the background in this picture, very pretty and detailed!

Awesome story telling there! I just love to see with what stories people come up just by looking at my pic, It's so exciting! Thank you very much for commenting.
