And I had nearly forgotten about that :p
As far as your story line, when you have back and forth dialogue without much action between, it's just easier on the reader if you seperate it down into it's own little block.
i.e.
"Blah!" he exclaimed.
"Doobee?"
"Wetmall," he assured her.
"WiggaWigga smackdoogle."
That's a lot better than: "Blah!" he exclaimed. "Doobee?" "Wetmall," he assured her. "WiggaWigga smackdoogle."
But that's just a style critique :p
I'm not so sure about the age. 4 seems quite a bit too young to start practicing kendo.
If you're going for plain backstory, I'd say not bad. If you're going for story story, I'd say definately more detail, it's very jumpy and leaves way too much to the imagination. I read it a few times and got a different mental image every time, generally you want to have a bit more control of your reader's imagination. But that could be debated. | First thinfs first, in japan most students start kendo or any martail arts at a young age to master it early.
daiolouge idea isn't bad I'll use it.
The story is my background, of my character and the tail of his life, so thank you. ^_^ |

Kei is right, the samurai did start training at an early age, though in everything I've read training started at five. Four would be a pretty young though to start in a dojo. Traditionally a young samurai's father or uncle would begin the boys training and send him off to a dojo or neighboring village later in life if the family had the money. |

Kei, I gotta commend you for taking the crits and using them to your advantage. Am interested in seeing what more you'll make of it. Definitely balancing out your characters stats makes it a more believable fighter/entity. And I agree 4, is a pretty good age to start. |

It's actually proper english. Every time a new person speaks, it's a new paragraph, so any conversation you see should look like the top example. If it's the same person speaking the whole time, it's supposed to go in the same paragraph. For example:
"She needs a new pair of shoes," he said, "I know."
When compared to:
"She needs a new pair of shoes," he said.
"I know," she replied, rolling her eyes in sympathy.
First example is one guy speaking, second example is two people. |

The Story of Kei
Chapter 2:
The next morning comes and Kei decides to go into town for some food. He stops at a nearby kiosk selling pork buns and grabs himself two. As he eats he begins to ponder. “That girl..” he thought to him self. “She’s really something spectacular.” he sighs. As he’s about to get up he feels a hand touch his shoulder lightly, he turns around to see 4 men in black suits and a women in a purple dress standing behind him. “My name is Mitsugi Ayami “ the women says to him. “ We are looking for a someone could you assist us?” Kei looks up at her after finishing his last pork bun.
Mitsugi Ayami: “A young female.” as she describes the characteristics of the person , Kei begins to think.
“This girl their describing sounds a lot li-” suddenly he stops in thought, and a couscous look crosses over his face. Mitsugi notices this.
Mitsugi Ayami: “Something wrong… ? she says with a curious expression.
Kei: “No, no, not at all, just had some pork bun go down the wrong tube that’s all.” he says smiling nervously. Mitsugi looks at him with an odd look.
Mitsugi: “I see.., well if you happen to find this girl, please notify me.” she drops a card towards Kei’s lap, and walks off.
Kei: "Sure..." he says.
as he watches them walk away in the distance.
Kei shakes it off his mind for the time and stands up. And heads further into town. He begins to think about what Setsuna had said to him the previous night. “Omyou” he said to himself. “I wonder if I can find some research on those..” Following his inspiration and instincts he heads into a local library close by.
He begins to search around the ails to see what he could find. Coming across him a young voice calls out to him.
Librarian : “ Can I help you?” the voice ask.
Kei turns around to see a little girl with specs on , she smiles at him.
Kei: “I’m looking for something on some warriors called Omyou Mystics” he replied to her.
Librarian: “Hmmm” she said, thinking. “I don’t believe we have anything in this library on those, “ she answered. “But you may want to try the shrine just north of here. They may have some information for you.”
Kei: “How far north is it?” he asked.
Librarian: “Not to far, just keep going north into the mountains, until you reach a bridge over looking a woodsy ledge. After you pass over the bridge you’ll be at the entrance.”
she says smiling.
Kei: “Thank you”, he says as he bows and heads out .
Kei makes his way to the mountain, and begins to travel up it, in search for the bridge.
Kei: “This trip, certainly is taking longer than she said it would..” he says striving and trying to catch his breath.
Kei: “I wonder how much Farther.”
Finally he comes across the bridge, it is over looking a beautiful bamboo forest peak. Kei looks at the bridge.
Kei: "I can’t really tell if it’s stable or not” he says unsurely."
He begins to cross the bridge, the sun is brightly shining in his direction as it begins to set. For a second he begins to lose his balance but regains it by grabbing on to the side ropes.
Kei: “Phew, that was close” he says as he sighs out.
Suddenly from behind him he hears unraveling sound, as he begins to sweat nervously, he looks behind him, too late one of the ropes tide to the ledge had snapped. “Ahhh!" he screams as he begins to plummet downward. Then a familiar voice., shouts out. “DAMAKTA OBRISK ZIYOU!” he looks upward to the cliff to see her.
Kei: “Setsuna!” he shouts.
Setsuna: “Kei hold on!”
Suddenly a loud screeching is heard, and to his amazement a giant fiery figure in the shape of a bird appears right below him and brakes his fall. And brings him back up to safety on the other side of the ledge. Kei looks amazed and shocked as he looks at it.
Setsuna: “Are you alright, did you get injured in the fall?”
Kei: Wh, wha, what is it?!
He ask her in an eager voice.
She smiles at him.
Setsuna: It is a spirit. She says smiling again.
Kei: Of what?!
Setsuna: “The phoenix.” The answers.
She then turns around and to the spirit, and says “Indikum!” the spirit fades away into the sky,
then Suddenly the nearly falls over. “Setsuna” he says as he catches her in his arms.
Kei: “Are you going to be alright?”
Setsuna: “I’ll be fine that summoning used up most of my energy.”
Kei: “Are you sure?”
Setsuna: “Yes, I’m sure I just need to rest a bit”
A load howl is heard be hind them in the distance, as they both turn their heads to look, they see a tall warn brick building, and as they moon shines bright they sit there.
Kei: “Is this-”
She answers before the question is finished.
Setsuna: “Yes” She replied, “this is the Hijinktou Shrine.”
