Her father was rarely home, nor her mother. Raised to her early teen years by servants, she spent maybe ninety-six hours with them both, combined.<br/><br/>Then, one day at age twelve, an odd older woman came to visit. She was Akiko's aunt, and she was here to take Akiko to her new home. Surprised at the sudden move, she was bundled into the Aunt's limousine as she was, still in her school uniform. On the long drive, her Aunt informed her that both her parents had been killed, and when they arrived at the Aunt's home, she would learn why.<br/><br/>Takeshita Chiyoko bundled her small niece out of the limousine and swiftly escorted her into the large mansion deep in the Japanese mountains, far from any town or city.<br/><br/>Inside, Aunt Chiyoko brought her diminutive niece, whom was small for her age, into an immense basement. There, another woman, this one but in her twenties, knocked Akiko into a padded wall with a harsh kick to her belly.<br/><br/>Bent over and retching for breath, Aunt Chiyoko lifted little Akiko's head by her long hair, and told her the lay of the land. Akiko was hers to do with as she saw fit. Chiyoko-sama was the matron mother of a household of the Japanese shinobi. But that all of her students and housemembers were female. Her mother, Chiyoko's sister, had been one of the house shinobi, but had betrayed them by her marriage to a rival house's shinobi. Finally able to find her sister, Chiyoko had them both hunted down and executed. And now she had her niece to either train, enslave, or execute.<br/><br/>And so she was trained, relentlessly and often brutally. Her training consisted of mental discipline exercises, physical fitness training, combat training with a variety of weapons: The archaic, including the sword, the dagger, nunchaku, sai, paired jo, the larger bo, amongst others; The modern, including the standard 9mm handgun, the American built Smith and Wesson M1911A2, the German Heckler and Koch MP5R, the Barrett M98 .338 Sniper Rifle, and the Colt M16A2 Assault Rifle.<br/><br/>After several years of intense training, Akiko was finally sent on her first assignment. An officer of the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force had a mark placed on him by members of the Japanese Red Army, a Communist separatist faction in Japan. On arrival on the installation where the marked man was stationed, Akiko was drawn into a cleverly designed trap, the mark being but a ruse to draw one of the prized Kunoichi(female shinobi) into their grasp.<br/><br/>After her capture, Akiko was interrogated ruthlessly for the better part of a month, often being raped at the hands of her salacious interrogators. Finally, the 'marked' officer came to see her for the first time since her failed assassination attempt. He made her an excellent offer. They knew where her household was, and planned to raid it, if not destroy it outright by way of an airstrike.<br/><br/>He wanted her to join the Japanese Ground Self Defense Force, particularly the Tokushu Sakusen Gun, an elite Counterterrorist/Anti-Insurgency division within the JGSDF. She'd be the only female amongst them, and given her skill at seducing men and her exceptional appearance, she'd make an excellent counter-insurgency infiltrator and assassin, if need be.<br/><br/>Having been ostracized from her house, she agreed in her dishonor, seeing that she could regain her honor serving her country directly. What she did not know is that her aunt had escaped the assault on her home with a number of her students. She was marked by her own kin, now.<br/><br/>After serving four years, from age sixteen to twenty, Akiko was released from her duties. Having learned of the mark on Akiko's head, the Abbey approached the fallen Kunoichi and offered her a place there, amongst the hunters.<br/><br/>And now Akiko arrives at Seattle's SEATAC airport, awaiting a ride to the Abbey where she'd likely live out the rest of her life, however long that life may or may not be......
