SHE dwelt among the Kanazawa hills
Above the ocean's tide;
A ninja of swift, silent kills
from whom no one could hide.

A glinting knife by a light of moon
Half-hidden from the eye!—
Swift as a falling star it is
that flashes cross the sky.

She lived unknown, for those who know
Don't live to tell the tale;
Her name alone makes fear to grow
And ruddy cheek turn pale!

The other option would be to have Lucy sliced to ribbons by a ninja. Either way works for me.
