Backstory

red choice 

There were two ninja clans, one blue and one red, there was a rivalry between the two but two heirs of the clan, and they got to lead the clan soon.

The red clan had a girl for their heir, A red to black headed girl named Nina of age 15. She did her duties, when she was done she went off and had fun. She was a skilled ninja but knew when to have fun. In the red clan, the heir must find someone in the clan to marry. Nina doesn’t like the idea of marriage, especially to someone she doesn’t love back. She always denied every suiter she was given, even returning ones failed to win her over. Nina rather instead to rule alone then rule with a loveless relationship. At this moment, she is at the training grounds practicing her weaponry; swords, kunai, ninja stars, everything in her arsenal and didn’t miss a dummy, except one. Nina saw this and questioned how she missed it, she goes to touch the dummy and falls through it. 

Nina: “Huh? How did I miss it? I made sure to get every one.”

She falls onto the other side and flips over to see someone leaning behind it. It was a soul, looking asleep on the dummy. Nina springs up in surprise to meet soul.

Nina: “What the! Who or what are you?! You look like you didn’t get hit too, how? (Tiny montage of bothering) yo bro! Yahoo?! Hello, anyone there!?”

Nina is in front of the boy and is about to poke his nose until a servant comes in to call Nina back to the temple.

Servant: “Heiress, we need to get back now. Your parents are asking for your presence.”

Nina: “What about this guy?”

Servant: “What guy? I don’t see anyone but us?”

Nina looks back at soul but he’s nowhere to be seen.

Nina: “But there was-”

Servant: “No time we must go”

The servant grabs Nina and drags her to the temple. Nina is looking back to check for the boy wondering where he went. Nina and the servant appear at the temple to meet Nina's parents waiting for her with them giving a cold stare at Nina.

Nina: (nervously) “he he. Hey mom and dad. How's it going-”

Parents: “Nina!”

Mom: “it’s time to pick a suitor. You got to stop putting this off.”

Dad: “I know you would rather be with someone you like, but you have rejected everyone in the clan, no matter the age.”

Nina: “I can appreciate that you didn’t set me up with a child or old man at least.”

Mom: “Well, we’re running out of choices for suitors around your age. You got to pick one.”

Nina: “but mom-”

Mom: “don’t say anything until you pick someone. (Leans in and grabs Nina by the shoulders giving a cold stare) this is for the good of the red clan, we need to keep the bloodline going.”

Nina: “… yes mom… I'll try these suitors…”

Nina is waiting in a room with just a table and a tea set. Nina is giving a frustrated look and thinking.

Nina’s thought: “Can’t believe I have to do this again.”

The first suitor comes in. It was a boy with black hair in a bun, and dressed in a kimono.

First suitor: “good evening mistress. It's an honor to be in your presence.”

Nina: “We've met before, this is not an interview. NEXT!”

Second suitor comes in. A teen with their face mostly covered.

Second suitor: “did you miss me?!”

Nina: “no but you’re missing a face for me to see. NEXT!”

Third suitor comes in. A girl with a cloak of blood red and a sword behind them.

Third: “so we finally meet again!”

Nina: “You got the place. This is a dating session not the final battle. NEXT!”

After many attempts, Nina is looking frustrated and tired of all the choices of suitors until the final suitor comes in. It was the boy Nina saw earlier, Soul. Soul was sitting in front of Nina on the other side of the table.

Nina’s thought: “it’s the boy from earlier. Wait, why's he here?”

Soul: “Must’ve been a long day for you. With all the suitors not meeting your expectations.”

Nina: “Yeah, expectations…”

Nina thought: “More like I'm done with all of this. Well sorry mom and dad but this last one is done far.”

Before Nina could say next, Soul spoke.

Soul: “Do you want to get married or are you being forced to?”

Nina was stunned and didn’t know what to say next. She tried to keep the conversation going.

Nina: “Well got to rule an entire clan so I might need help.”

Soul: “I'm sure you can do it alone, with your skills you can rule alone.”

Nina: “(smile) well yeah but it’s tradition and it’s not like I can mess with it much. Maybe when I'm in power I can change it.”

Soul: “Why not now?”

Nina: “Because my parents won’t allow it. They’re all traditional.”

Soul: “So you're being forced to find someone to love?!”

The room was silent. Nina is baffled.

Soul: “Look I won’t force you to marry me, but I can be by your side if you need it.”

Nina: (smiles) “You know what bro, I like you.”

They chatted for a while and a servant came by checking them by a glance hearing laughter from the two.

Nina: “Bro no way, for a zombie apocalypse you gotta hit and run through them.”

Soul: “But in the end you’ll end up being eaten by many.”

Servant smiles and goes to see Nina’s parents. 

Servant I think there’s a lucky one.

The parents look at the servant with confusion.

Dad: “What do you mean?”

Servant: “Nina and the last suitor are getting along very well. I think we got a keeper.”

Mom: “But the last suitor left an hour ago? WHO IS WITH NINA.”

The servant and parents run to Nina 

Dad: “Quick we got to- “

As soon they opened the door, Nina was just by herself looking happy.

Mom: “Nina wh-”

Nina: “Mom! Dad! You won’t believe it, but I think I've found someone to rule with. “

Parents & servant:” what!?”

Nina: “I mean he doesn’t want a forced marriage, but he’ll stay by me when I need it. You got to meet this one.”

Parents & servant: (looking at each other questioning it) “give us a minute.” (Existing the room)

Nina is questioning what’s with their reaction until soul appears again.

Nina: “You're here again. You got to meet my parents.”

Soul: “Want to meet somewhere later?”

Nina: “Hm? Ok where?”

The parents and servants come in to discuss their decision but sees soul and realizes that soul wasn’t part of the clan.

Nina: “Oh mom, dad, this is the boy I want you to meet.”

Servant: “Nina, get back from him!”

Nina: “Huh? Why ain’t he the last suitor?”

Soul: “Meet me in the woods at the lands’ border. I'll explain everything there.”

The Servant tries to charge at Soul but phases through him and Soul jumps out of the room. Everyone is shocked by what happened, except for Nina she was amazed.

Nina: “That was awesome!”

Parents: “No it wasn’t.”

Mom: “You’re not going to meet that invader. He’s not part of the clan, and I refuse you to be with him.”

Nina: “But he’s the only one I liked out of everyone. He’s also tactful and smart from our conversations.”

Mom: “I don’t care, he’s not part of the clan and judging from what happened, he’s a monster. I forbid you to ever see him.”

Nina is in discord and sadness from what her mom said. 

Dad: “We gave you a chance and I know you want to be with him, but we don’t know what he would do after getting with him. We stick inside the clan to secure any suspicions or any chance of the clan falling into the wrong hands.”

Mom: “We gave you chances, but now we’ll take matters into our hands.”

Nina: “What!?”

Mom: “No buts! I'll find your suitor and your father will set up your wedding in two days. You're going to rule soon and it’s time to stop putting it off.”

Nina’s parents walk off as Nina falls to the ground crying knowing she’s got no choice. The servant comes to her side to comfort her. 

Servant: “I know this is hard for you but-”

Nina: “I'm not going to that wedding.”

Servant: “What was that!?”

Nina: “I'm not going to that wedding!”

Nina runs out of the room. She runs to her room grabbing stuff. As she does, her parents and the servants are knocking on the door.

Dad: “Nina! It’s for the good of the clan.”

Mom: “Nina! It’s time to stop this foolishness.”

The mom opens the door to reveal Nina is gone but left a note. 

Note-

“Dear mom and dad, I know you’ve been training me to lead the clan and think what you two are doing is for the best, but I don’t need just anyone by my side to help me do that. I want someone who I can trust and agree with knowing if something were to happen to me, I can trust them doing the right thing. If you don't let me choose who I want, then what’s the point of everything I've trained for. I'm leaving the clan in your hands, if you want someone else to rule, I understand why. Sincerely Nina”

Nina is running through the woods and runs into a giant mushroom statue wondering why it’s here. Soul appears sitting on it facing away from Nina.

Soul: “So you're leaving the clan. Are you sure of your decision?”

Nina gets on top of the mushroom and sits behind Soul.

Nina: “Well I'm sure whoever they replace me with can lead them. After all, if I can’t rule alone or with anyone I choose, then how can I lead with people making my decisions?”

Soul: “Fair point. Sorry for disappearing and not telling you what I am.”

Nina: “What are you?”

Soul: “A ghost.”

Nina: “So a yokai? Well if I picked you to be by my side, you would have lived a long time after I'm gone, and that’s if I became one too.”

Soul: “Sadly it’s not that fun being a ghost. You live in the same state your body died as and can never feel physical pain.”

Nina: “It must be hard to stay the same while the world changes around you? Hey, what's your name again?”

Soul: “it’s Soul.”

Nina: “Quite fitting, don’t you think.”

Nina and soul watched the sky turn to night before heading off to meet two other girls, Nova and Tacky. Nina is wondering why the blue clans’ heir is here. A little tension forms until a door portal appears with Lifehacker opening it.

Lifehacker: “Are you ready, new recruits?”

Soul: “Once we leave, you won’t come back for a long time.”

Nina looks at soul then at lifehacker with determination.

(After Novas)

Nina: “If I come with you, will you let me pick my path and live free.”

Lifehacker: “You can do whatever bro, but just remember that what you do can make a difference to everyone around you. It’s your decision alone, not anyone else’s, otherwise it’s just as bad as wanting chocolate ice cream but someone gives you vanilla instead, and not just by mistake. Now let’s head out.”

The group heads through the door.
