A Shadow's Second Family part 2

Act 1 Scene 5: February 18th. The orphanage next door to the homeless shelter. Tohru sees the damage that the vandals made. Children are crying and the volunteers are doing everything they can to calm the children.

Tohru: "Whoever did this is going to pay. I'll make sure of it." Sister Rosa appears.

Sister Rosa: "Are you going to kill them? I say this because it is a sin to kill."

Tohru: "What about cops and soldiers who kill? Are they going to Hell?" Sister Rosa is about to say something, but nothing comes out of her mouth. "I thought so."

Act 1 Scene 6: Tohru's room. Tohru suits up and grabs some of his weapons from his locker. When he is about to leave, some of the children show up at his door.

Sophie (Orphan 1): "Whoa, you're a ninja." Tohru nods a "no".

Tohru: "I'm a ninja, but not a "Ninja". You understand, right?" Sophie nods a "yes". "I was on the wrong side of that power struggle."

Sophie: "You've changed now. You're going to help us find Father Crispin and bring the bad guys to justice."

Ray (Orphan 2): "He's going to kick their butts!" The children cheer.

Kelly (Orphan 3): "Make them cry!" The children cheer. "We also made this for you." Kelly hands Tohru a piece of paper. Tohru unfolds the paper and sees Japanese symbol for "family". "Do you like it?"

Tohru (about to cry): "I love it. Thanks, kids."

Malcolm (Orphan 4): "Group hug!" All the kids hug Tohru.

Act 1 Scene 7: An alleyway a couple of blocks from the homeless shelter. Tohru got Frank the Bum (from last chapter) cornered.

Tohru: "Start talking, you bastard. Where is Father Crispin?! LOOK AT ME!"

Frank (giving Tohru a paper with a club's name): "He's at this gang's local clubhouse. Please don't kill me." Frank starts tearing up.

Tohru: "I won't kill you." Frank sighs for relief. "I will knock the rest of your teeth out." Tohru punches Frank square in the jaw.

Act 1 Scene 8: Jack the Ripper's Tavern. The ruthless gang is drinking, fighting and making out with their girlfriends. Tohru is spying on them and he then spots Father Crispin. Tohru kills the lights of their clubhouse.

Gang Member 1: "Hey, what the f-k happened to the lights?" The lights come back on and Tohru appears. The gang is shocked to see Tohru in full ninja attire.

Gang Member 2: "What's a ninja doing here?"

Tohru (with a voice changer): "I'm here for Father Crispin and for you guys to pay for the damages you caused to the orphans." The gang starts to laugh at him. They all draw their weapons.

Gang Member 3: "I'm giving you the count of three to get lost. One... two... THREE!" They pulled the gun triggers, but all they hear is clicking. The guns don't have any ammo. Tohru shows them that he had their ammo.

Tohru: "You want these back? Take them and shove them up your asses!" Tohru throws them at the gang members. The ammo doesn't hit Father Crispin. Tohru begins an onslaught of violence on the entire gang. Everyone is screaming in pain.

Father Crispin: "That was a bit much, my child."

Tohru: "They deserve that punishment." A gunshot is heard. Frank appears.

Frank: "You little a-hole! I'm going to kill you!" Father Crispin throws a glass mug at Frank. It hits Frank and knocks him out.

Father Crispin: "Ahhh... f-k you!" Both Tohru and Father Crispin leave the scene.

Act 1 Scene 9: The following morning. The kids are thanking Tohru for punishing the wrongdoers and rebuilding the playground.

Tohru: "Really, kids. It was nothing. Those guys who vandalized the playground just rubbed me the wrong way." In the distance, Father Crispin and Sister Rosa watch Tohru rebuild the playground.

Sister Rosa (holding a box): "I found this in his room. Should I give this to him?"

Father Crispin: "Whenever you feel is right, Sister Rosa."

The End... For Now.

A Shadow's Second Family

It has been months since Sasuke, Justin and Steve (The Orange County Ninjas) fought Kohta Sanada and The Headless Dragon Clan. With Kohta gone, Al Chapman (a student of Justin and Steve's high school) swore revenge on The Ninjas for the death of his "father". Many have died on that fateful day, but today is a different story. We don't start with the three main characters. Instead, we start this story with another survivor of the Shadow Village massacre. You know him as Tohru Miyazaki, the ninja who was going to be the new boss of the Headless Dragon Clan but got nothing at all.

Act 1 Scene 1: February 17th. A homeless shelter a couple of miles from Oceanview. Tohru drenched in rain and eating some soup. One of the homeless guys is getting mad at him.

Homeless Man (to everyone): "Hey! This guy has more chicken in his soup than me!"

Tohru (to the homeless man): "You better lower your voice. You're making a scene and embarrassing yourself." The Homeless Man stands up and walks closer to him. He furrows his brow and breathes very heavily.

Homeless Man (to Tohru): "That's not making a scene. This is making a scene!" He throws a punch, but Tohru grabs the man's fist and headbutts the man in the skull. The homeless man then gets flung by Tohru into the wall. Enter a nun and a priest.

Sister Rosa: "What's going on here?" She sees the homeless man near the wall. "What happened?"

Homeless Man: "He hit me and threw me at the wall." He points to Tohru.

Tohru: "Yeah, it's true. I would do it again in a heartbeat."

Homeless Man: "See, that psycho admits it."

Sister Rosa: "That's enough, Frank. You're going to bed." Sister Rosa and some volunteers take Frank to a bed. Tohru sees the priest, Father Crispin give the "come here" gesture.

Act 1 Scene 2: Father Crispin's office. Tohru feeling edgy.

Father Crispin: "You're on thin ice, young man." The priest pulls out a file from his desk. It's big and very heavy. "You attack people and throw stuff. You should be lucky that I don't call the cops on you."

Tohru: "Why should I care? My life is meaningless."

Father Crispin: "How can you say, my child? There are decent people who help poor people who are on the ropes in their lives."

Tohru: "Good luck finding someone who does care about me. I'm going to bed. Good night, sir." Tohru exits Father Crispin's office and goes to his room.

Act 1 Scene 3: A couple hours later. Tohru is in a dream state. Tohru sees his family's mansion on fire and his parents burning to death. Then, he sees The Headless Dragon Clan killing the Shadow Village citizens and burning the village to the ground. Tohru then "wakes up".

Tohru (to himself): "Just a horrible memory." A figure appears in his room. "Stay back! Don't make me hurt you." He sees Sasuke. "What the hell? Sasuke?"

"Sasuke": "You're still dreaming Tohru. I'm not really here."

Tohru: "Why are you here?"

"Sasuke": I'm here to tell you that this isn't your right path. You can still change like I did. We both lost a lot of people, but that can change."

Tohru: "Oh yeah... how? Remember, I beat your new friends to a bloody pulp."

"Sasuke": "But you didn't kill them. It was just a messed-up way of telling me that Kohta was coming to get me. That's in the past now. Change to better yourself. Good bye." "Sasuke" disappears.

Tohru: "Wait, Sasuke. Sasuke!!!"

Act 1 Scene 4: February 18th. Tohru's room in the morning. He leaves his room to go to the dining room. No one is there.

Tohru: "Hello. Is anyone here?" Sister Rosa appears. "Sister Rosa, where is everyone?"

Sister Rosa: "They left without telling you. Father Crispin was kidnapped by the local gang and the orphanage next door was vandalized. The children's playground was vandalized also."

Tohru: "What?! Why didn't anyone wake me up?"

Sister Rosa: "Father Crispin thought you didn't care about anyone."

Tohru: "I have to go."

Sister Rosa: "Go where?" Tohru turns around with a determined look on his face.

Tohru: "You're going to find out, aren't you?"
