xxxxx At the tender age of 8, young Miyo was 'gifted' the local group of Yakuza in her town of Sendai. Her family was poor and they insisted that they saw a passion in her at that young age, but deep down it was a fire that their cruelty would stoke. After they packed her up, she was sent to Kyoto and was put in one of the gang ran okiyas. There she was taught the many facets of the talent, grace, and beauty secrets of the geisha...but there was a darker side. Outside of her duties as a maiko, she was taught the deadly art of the sword....how to seduce.....how to kill. Her childhood was not one of innocence but of blood and death.
xxxxx She was at the prime of her life.....the most talented geisha in all of the city. In her early twenties she graced every stage in Kyoto....as well as the beds of many prominent men. Some would survive a night with her....others would never be seen again. But she made a fatal mistake and his name was Hijikata Toshizo and he would be her demise. Times were change in Japan and the time of the Meiji era was soon approaching. She eventually requested to be sent home to Sendai, opened her own okiya and trained other young girls in the art of the geisha.....but not her other art of death. On that fateful day in Sendai, Hijikata came to her and asked her to leave with him...to leave this life. As much as she loved him she knew she could not for she was bound to the Yakuza. Thinking it was another man she was held to, in a rage he drew his swords and stabbed her through the left of her back and through her heart killing her instantly. She was no fool and knew long ago where she would end up when she passed....she just did not expect to die so young. But she did.....and was sent straight to hell for all of her murderous deeds.
