Basilisk (manga)
Basilisk (Japanese: バジリスク〜甲賀忍法帖〜 Hepburn: Bajirisuku ~Kōga Ninpō Chō~, lit. Basilisk: The Kōga Ninja Scrolls) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masaki Segawa. It was published in Japan in 2003 and 2004 in Kodansha's Young Magazine Uppers magazine, based on the novel The Kouga Ninja Scrolls by Futaro Yamada published in 1958. The anime, produced in 2005 by Gonzo Studios, closely follows the manga aside from a handful of distinctions. The manga won the 2004 Kodansha Manga Award for general manga. The manga was later followed by a sequel series titled The Yagyu Ninja Scrolls which was also based on a novel by Futaro Yamada.
The story takes place in the year 1614. Two ninja clans, Tsubagakure of the Iga and Manjidani of Kouga, battle each other to determine which grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu will become the next shogun. The deadly competition between 10 elite ninja from each clan unleashes a centuries-old hatred that threatens to destroy all hope for peace between them.

Basilisk
by: Kathy MarShe searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons
She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons
She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever
A way her great beauty could live on forever
Chorus: The Basilisk watches and waits the right hour
To claim you forever with his awesome power
She sought from the mountains clear down to the seaside
The closer she came the more cleverly she'd hide
But when she despaired and was weeping quite blindly
She met a young princeling who treated her kindly
She soon fell in love and gave up her brash scheming
They spent all their days lost in planning and dreaming
She hid in the wood as a game so he'd find her
She turned and saw Basilisk standing behind her
And when the young lordling came seeking his lady
(All) Through the dark branches so peaceful and shady
He stopped in a clearing forlorn and alone
To stare in surprise at a lady of stone
