While right now I'm taking a break from these due to writer's block, I'll just give you some info on what I'm writing.

Of course you'd have to know that most of what I plan on writing will take place in Japan. It'll go all around the globe, but Japan is mainly where it's gonna be at.

The Shikyo Tournament *Copied from my Microsoft Word Document*

The Shikyo Tournament was created in the year of 2000 by the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia. It was made solely for the entertainment of Daifu Atotori, who was formerly the head of the entire organization before his murder in the recent year of 2006.

After his death, his oldest son, Kuro Atotori was given the inheritance of power over the Yakuza. The tournament was continued, and instead of pure entertainment, he used it for recruiting. After eight days, eight rounds of battle, a new hitman was found at the end of the 2007 tournament, though efforts were made to keep this person’s identity a secret.

Authorities from several countries have made efforts to shut down the deadly Shikyo Tournament project after it made moves to several undisclosed locations in Asia, most notably Thailand after its near destruction from unknown causes. All failed due to the inability to operate within Japan. Also, with the power of the Yakuza had many of the leaders of authority corrupted, slowing and even at times, halting the progress of countless investigations. It looked as if there was no way to stop the project.

It is a new year in 2008, and another Shikyo Tournament has been planned for the month of October. Over 120 million dollars has been lined up for the winner of this year’s tournament, and new designs for fighting hazards have been made: Electrified cages, flaming barbed wire, to name a couple. There is a reason that this is called The Death Tournament, after all.

This is the story of Yangu Jinketsu, and his younger sister, Otome. This year, the two will take part in The Shikyo Tournament, going through numerous ordeals that will forever change their lives…
