Chapter 032
All Wounds Don't Heal
At the same time Kaito is sitting in his living room watching tv and he hears a voice from behind him says
"What are you watching?" Kaito turns around and sees Akemi walking down the stairs holding Emi in her arms and Kaito says
"I don't even know, I just zoned out in front of the tv" Akemi sits next to Kaito and he grabs Emi and lays across the couch with her on his chest and Akemi lays next to him as there watching tv Emi falls asleep on Kaito's chest and Akemi looks at Kaito and says
"I love you!" Kaito says
"I love you too" Akemi turns back to the tv but Kaito says
"Akemi" Akemi looks at him and says
"Huh?" Kaito says
"We can't trust Kei at all...He killed Kenshin, and has destroyed two villages" Akemi is *shocked* and says
"Why!?" Kaito says
"When I first told you he was changing, I thought it was because of him still grieving over our family. But he's...At a point where I can't redeem him" Akemi says
"Do you plan on-" Kaito says
"Everything I do is for you and Emi...I've dedicated my life to this village and have been miserable. I fought along side Kingsman and it was fun, but once he went home everything truly showed me how alone I was. Kei would rarely ever visit me, but when he did it was to tell me that I was making a mistake. You don't know how much it hurt for my brother to never visit me to see how I was, but to always see him in the shadows studying how to kill me" Akemi is *shocked* and says
"Kaito I'm-" Kaito *sheds a tear* and says
"But after I found you, my entire life changed. Everything was better, I truly felt like I could truly be happy again. Truly I was hurt when we lost our family, but you gave me life. You and Emi are all I have left...I love you both with all the love I have left" Akemi opens her mouth but suddenly theirs a knock on the door and Kaito looks at the door *confused* and Akemi says
"Who could that be this late?" Kaito says
"I don't know" Kaito picks up Emi and hand her to Akemi and Kaito walks over to the door and opens it and as he does he sees Kingsman standing there but he notices Kingsman eyes are watery and Akemi says
"Who is it Kaito?" Kaito looks at her and says
"I'll be right back" Kaito takes a step forward and closes the door behind him and looks at Kingsman and says
"Are you ok? Did something happen?" Kingsman looks down at his hands and says
“I’m sorry Kaito, but this time I’ve gone to far...I can’t come back. Take care of them for me” Kaito is *shocked* and says
“What happened!?” Kingsman *sheds a tear* but he looks up at Kaito and *smiles* and says
“I know you’ll be able to handle everything...I believe in you little brother” Kingsman turns around and starts walking away and Kaito says
"Kingsman, wait what happened!?" Kaito runs up to him and tries to grab him but he disappears and Kaito is *shocked* and screams
“KINGSMAN!” The front door behind him opens and Akemi steps outside and sees Kaito standing alone and says
“What’s going on!?” Kaito turns around and says
“Stay in the house!” Kaito runs down the street and he turns a corner and jumps onto the roofs and runs across multiple rooftops before dropping down and running up to a door and starts pounding on it as the door opens Kenzo steps out and says
“What’s going on my lord?” Kaito says
“Kingsman said he isn’t coming back and said something about going to far, I need your help finding him” Kenzo says
“Let’s find out what happened first” Kenzo and Kaito jump onto the roofs of the buildings and run across them and drops down onto the main road and starts running towards the hill Kingsman lives on as they get to the bottom of the hill Kaito takes a step but Kenzo grabs Kaito arm stopping him from moving and Kaito looks at him as Kenzo says
"Whatever Kingsman did he more than likely could not control, so whatever sight we're met with you need to be prepared" Kaito is *shocked* and says
"Kingsman wouldn't! Not even in his angriest moments would he ever!" Kenzo says
"What else does Kingsman hold close to his heart, the two of use are fine. So what does that leave" Kaito says
"I-I...Let's just go" Kenzo says
"As you wish" Kaito and Kenzo both run up the hill but as there half way to the top they see Akita running down and Kaito says
“Akita, what happened!? Is everyone ok?” Akita is *panicked* and says
"Yes I'm fine, everyone is fine I just did something extremely stupid" Akita starts *crying* and says
"Now Kingsman trying to-" Kenzo hugs her and says
"Everything is going to be ok, we'll stop him. But we need to know what happened?" Kenzo takes a step back as Akita wipes her eyes and says
“I messed up…I forced Kingsman to show me what he was hiding. Something started coming out of him and he blames himself for almost hurting me but I did it, not him!” Kenzo is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman’s darkness is dangerous because it wants control over his body and it will take any opportunity to do as such and It may have taken shape and tried to get out of him” Akita says
“I don’t know where he went, but he said he was going to leave and I need to tell him what I did before he goes, so I can fix this” Kenzo *sighs* and says
“I'm sorry Akita, but I don’t think we’ll be able to. He could never forgive himself if he would have hurt you” Akita is *shocked* and drops to her knees and says
“Please help me find him! I need you both, please!” Kaito grabs her arms and pull her back to her feet and says
"We will do what we can, we don't intend on losing Kingsman. Even if I have to run around the entire region alone" Kenzo says
"I want to find him just as badly as all the rest of you, but I can’t sense him at all. Did he disappear in front of you?” Akita says
“Yes” Kaito says
“Me too” Kenzo says
“Then we won’t be able to find him, when he uses that technique he removes himself from existence and time all together, making him impossible to sense” Kaito says
“But he comes back” Kenzo says
“We may be able to see him, but you can’t sense what doesn’t exist. For sometime he still remains out of existence, and that time is right now. We truly won't be able to track him” Kaito says
"We could possibly check his normal spots around the village, he can't have been that far" Kenzo says
"He's so fast we'd never be able to catch up without being able to see him at least, plus I truly don't know his habits to well outside of the village. Do you?" Kaito says
"No, he usually leaves and is back by the time I'm done doing what I needed to" Akita says
“What about smell?” Kenzo is *confused* and says
“Huh?” Akita says
“Could we still find him by his smell?” Kenzo says
“If you have a strong enough noise for it, I suppose it could work” Akita turns around and while * slightly shaking with fear* she closes her eyes and thinks
"He's not like the others...He's loyal and he'll listen to me. Calm down, we've done this already" Akita stops shaking and says
“...Tadashi, please come here!” As she slowly opens her eyes she sees Tadashi sitting in front of her and she kneels down and with a slightly shaking hand puts her hand up to his nose and says
“Please find Kingsman” Tadashi smells her hand and as she stands up he crawls in between her legs and stands up and starts running with her on his back and Kenzo and Kaito follow as Tadashi runs out of the village and goes to the left and around the back of the village and goes into a forest as there all running through the forest Kenzo thinks
"Is this the spot he told me about!? This can't be where I think it is!" As they come into a clearing Tadashi stops outside of a cave and Kaito looks at the cave *confused* and says
"What are we doing here?" Kenzo says
“I should have known!” Kaito is *confused* and says
“What?” Kenzo says
“This is a memorial to his family, if he’s here then he’s truly serious about leaving. We must be quick” Kaito says
“If it’s this important to him we’ll need to be careful while going inside” But Akita gets off of Tadashi and runs into the cave and Kenzo and Kaito are *shocked* but they both rush inside and after a few seconds they catch up to Akita but as they come around a corner they see Kingsman sitting on the ground with his shirt folded on the ground with his father’s sword on his neck but Akita screams
“NO!” She tries to runs up to but Kingsman stands up and with a tears in his eyes and he points the sword at Akita and says
“Stay back! I can’t protect you anymore...And my father told me if I ever lose myself he’d be the one to stop me, and I intend to make sure he keeps that promise” Kenzo notices Kingsman eyes are partially red and in the hand he’s holding the sword in he has it wrapped in the cloth that was around the sword and Akita starts tearing up and says
“You can protect me, I’m the one who made you open up! I was inside your mind” Akita starts whistling again but Kingsman isn’t affected and says
“You’re lying, mental manipulation doesn’t work on me! Now leave!...You're not safe around me” Akita is *confused* and says
“When your fighting it might not, but when your relaxed it does. Please believe me It was all my fault!” Kaito steps up and says
“Please brother don’t do this!” Akita steps towards Kingsman and says
“I’m fine, look! You didn’t hurt me!” Kingsman says
“It’s not just you, I could have killed all of them. My sons and my daughter, allowing myself to let them that close to this level of danger I could never forgive myself!” Kenzo slowly walks towards Kingsman as he says
“Kingsman please listen to me, I know how you feel not wanting to hurt the people you care about. But if you go this path you will hurt them worse then you could ever imagine” Kingsman screams
“I ALMOST KILLED THEM KENZO!” Kenzo says
“And you’ll hurt them ten times worse by disappearing out of their lives like this. Hana won’t eat or sleep without you there, and the boys will go to the ends of the earth to find out what happened to you. Do you truly believe Itsuki or Dai will truly accept that you just disappeared? All of them will put themselves in tremendous danger if it means they get any information on what happened to you. But who will have the strength to tell them what happened to you?" As Kenzo gets close to Kingsman, Kingsman has the sword against his neck and Kenzo says
"Please think about this” Kingsman drops the sword and with tears in his eyes he says
“I... I just don’t want to hurt the people I care about again” Kenzo walks up and hugs Kingsman and says
“I know, but I also know you will protect them with your life” Kingsman pushes Kenzo in the chest launching him back as his darkness surges all around him shooting all over the cave smashing into the walls and Kingsman *screams in pain* as dark spikes stab all through his body and Kingsman drops to his knees as dark tentacles shoot out of the ground and everyone is *shocked* and Kenzo says
"He's losing control!" Kingsman screams
"RUN!" Kenzo and Kaito jump in front of Akita and Kaito says
"Akita run!" As Kingsman darkness covers the ground and suddenly hundreds of arms start coming through the tentacles and the ground and all of the arms start pulling Creatures made out of darkness out and The Creatures start to rush Kaito and Kenzo and Kaito activates his Icy Sun Flames and blast most of them away but just as fast as he's killed them there back pulling themselves through the darkness from all over and Kenzo says
"Make a wall!" Kaito shoots his Icy Sun Flames on the ground and it surge up stretching to the ceiling blocking all of The Creatures from getting to them but banging comes from the wall and Kaito says
"Do you think we can fight through them and get to him?" Kenzo says
"Possibly, they don't seem like there at there peak strength yet" Akita says
"I want to help" Kaito turns around and says
"Not this time, we just need you to be safe" Akita says
"Kaito I can-" Kaito says
"Kingsman wouldn't want you this close to this danger" Akita says
"...Ok, just please the both of you be safe and bring him back" Kaito says
"We'll be fine" Akita turns around and walks away but suddenly the Icy Sun Wall starts cracking behind them and as Kaito and Kenzo look at the wall and Kaito turns back to Akita and says
"Hurry Akita!" Akita turns around but as she takes two steps forward suddenly a hole is punch in the wall and one of The Creatures is able to jump through the hole right as it repairs itself and Akita turns around *shocked* and The Creature rushes Kaito and Kenzo but they both punch it through the chest killing it and Akita takes a step backwards but suddenly two more holes are punched in the wall and two of The Creatures jump through and rush Kaito and Kenzo but as Kaito and Kenzo throw a punch at The Creatures coming towards them both Creatures dodge and kicks them in the stomach dropping Kenzo to the floor but Kaito grabs The Creatures ankle and surges with his Icy Sun Flames freezing the outside of it's body and Kaito smashes his Creature into the one on Kenzo's chest sending them both crashing into the Icy Sun Wall burning them away and Kaito helps up Kenzo and thinks
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
"I thought they we're suppose to adapt after we killed one of them" As Kenzo gets to his feet he *holds his stomach in pain* and says
"There strength has skyrocketed, truly I didn't expect them to be that quick" Kaito says
"So I'm assuming the next one's are going to kill us" Kenzo *chuckles* and says
"Maybe, but if we're going to die we'll need to at least try to help Kingsman" Kaito says
"I don't even need to try to know whatever projectile we throw at him is going to get blocked by those tentacles" Kenzo says
"So we throw ourselves at them and try to destroy them and reach Kingsman" Akita is *shocked* and says
"No, they'll kill you" Kenzo and Kaito look at her and Kaito says
"What are you still doing here? You have to go Akita" Akita says
"But you all might die, and I don't want your deaths to be because I did something stupid" Kenzo says
"Half of our job is to die, if necessary. But please go Akita" Akita *sheds a tear* and she starts running away but right before she turns the corner everything starts shaking as a giant hole is punched in the middle of the Icy Sun Wall and a giant hand reaches in and grabs Kaito restraining both of his arms and he *screams in pain* as the hand starts squeezing him and he surges with his Icy Sun Flames but the hand isn't effected and squeezes him even tighter causing him to scream even louder and Kenzo rushes towards the hand but he's suddenly kicked in the back making him fall to the ground and The Creature steps onto his back and Kenzo *screams in pain* at the pressure on his back and Kenzo tries to get up but he can't and The Creature raises it's other foot above Kenzo's head and Akita is *shocked* and screams
"NO!" She runs towards them but as she gets close Kenzo is able to stand up knocking The Creaure off of his back and Kaito burns the hand away that's holding him in the air and Kenzo stomps on the head of The Creature as Akita gets close to them, she says
"Are you both ok?" Kaito is *confused* and says
"What happened to that thing? My Icy Sun Flames didn't effect it at all at first, but now it just burns away" Kenzo looks at Akita and says
"Kaito drop the entire wall when I tell you" Kaito is *shocked* and says
"Are you crazy!?" Kenzo looks at him and says
"I need you to trust me, my lord" Kaito *sighs* and says
"Fine, but whatever you're planning better be smart" Kenzo walks over to Akita and says
"Go save the one you love, but he needs you quickly" Kenzo grabs Akita's hand and Kenzo looks at Kaito and says
"Do it!" As Kaito pulls his hand down the entire Icy Sun Wall hundreds of Creatures rush towards them but Kenzo throws Akita towards Kingsman and says
"Save him!" Akita looks back as she sees Kenzo and Kaito get over run by The Creatures and as she looks back forward she can see Kingsman and all his darkness surging around him but she sticks her arms out and as she gets close she hugs Kingsman making him fall back onto the floor and all of his darkness stops surging around him and all of the tentacles and Creatures melt into the ground and flows towards Kingsman and all the darkness sinks into Kingsman back and Akita stands up as she notices Kingsman's darkness is no longer surging out destroying everything and she is *shocked* and says
"It stopped!" Akita looks back and sees Kenzo helping Kaito back to his feet and Akita looks at Kenzo and says
"How did you know that would work!?" Kenzo says
"Because, Kingsman would never hurt you. It wouldn't matter if he was angry,mind controlled and had zero of his senses he'd still somehow not damage you. He loves you to much"
Akita turns around as Kingsman makes it back to his feet and she hugs him again and says
“I’m sorry Kingsman, I should have just listened to you” Kingsman says
"I told you to run...Why would you stay?" Akita says
"I won't abandon you, I don't care what's going on!" Kingsman says
“I need all of you to leave” Akita is *shocked* and says
“No, Kingsman I–” Kingsman says
“I’m coming back, but I need to speak with my family. I must say goodbye to them once again” Kenzo walks up next to Kingsman sword and says
“I understand” Kenzo grabs the grip of the sword we're the cloth is and he picks up the sheathe off of the ground and puts it back in the sheathe but as he's pushing it into the sheathe he touches the exposed part of the grip but as he does he feels a presence behind him and he drops the sword and turns around suddenly but no ones there and Kingsman walks up and picks up the sword and creates a portal and puts the sword into it and he walks over to his shirt and puts it back on and sits on the ground and puts his hands together and starts praying and Akita is about to say something to Kingsman but Kaito grabs her shoulder and whispers
“Please allow him to speak with his family in private” Kaito walks up to Kenzo and says
"You good?" Kenzo says
"Yeah...I thought I felt something, but I'm fine" Kaito and Kenzo walk away and Akita turns and looks at Kingsman but she follows Kaito and Kenzo out of the cave and she gets back on Tadashi’s back and Tadashi looks into the cave and takes a step towards it but Akita says
"Tadashi...Please take me home" Tadashi turns around and runs back to the village and as they make it into the village Tadashi continues walking up the hill but Kaito and Kenzo stops and Kaito says
"Should we stay with her for sometime?" Kenzo says
"I think so, without Kingsman being here she doesn't have anyone she can speak to. We should at least speak with her a bit more, and find out were her mind is" Kaito says
"Yeah" Kaito and Kenzo both continues after Tadashi following him up the hill into Kingsman's backyard and Akita steps off of Tadashi's back and Tadashi walks into the house but Akita drops to her knees and *breaks down in tears* and Kaito kneels down and hugs her and says
“It’s ok, everything's going to be alright. I promise, Kingsman said he's coming home” Akita *through her tears* says
“I know, but I’ve never seen Kingsman so hurt before. Physically I’ve seen him bad and even on the verge of death, but never emotionally hurt” Kaito stands up and Kenzo says
“Kingsman will be fine, he just wants to make sure he doesn’t mess up and lose himself. It has happened to him in the past so please understand why he’s ready to leave before allowing himself to lose the ones he loves again, he just wants whats best for his family” Akita whips her eyes and says
“I know, it’s just...I didn’t fully understand how much he was willing to sacrifice. Honestly it kind of scares me how willing he is to give up his life for us” Kenzo says
“That’s his job as a father, a husband–” Kaito says
“And as a man, we do everything we do to protect the ones we love” Akita gets back to her feet and says
“Thank you both for helping me find Kingsman” Kaito says
“Always, if you need anything just call. We’re family” Kenzo says
“Couldn’t have said it better myself, have a good night Akita” Akita hugs Kaito and Kenzo and says
"I'm sorry for interrupting your night, please enjoy the rest of your nights" Kaito *laughs* and says
"My family is more than likely going to interrupt your night as well someday, just call us even when it happens" Kaito and Kenzo turns around and walk down the hill and Akita goes into the house and she walks into upstairs and she opens her bedroom door and goes in but as she's about to close it she notices Tadashi is standing outside the door and she lets him in and as she lays down Tadashi lays at her feet and Akita thinks
"Thank you...Tadashi" They fall asleep together.
The next morning as she gets up she sees Kingsman hasn’t come back and she even notices Tadashi is no longer at her feet and she gets out of bed and goes downstairs but still sees no sign of him and thinks
“No, he said he'd come back!…No, it's ok...He’s just out walking or training again” Akita walks upstairs and knocks on Kenji’s door but as she opens it his room is empty and she’s *shocked* and she rushes over to everyone’s door knocking and opening them up but there all empty and she goes downstairs and looks in the living room and says
“Where is everyone!?” Akita runs outside and sees the sky is dark but the sun is up and she’s *confused* and she turns around and runs down to the village but as she make it there she’s *shocked* to see dead bodies of villagers all lining the streets and she says
"Oh no!" She runs towards Kaito’s office but the closer she gets to Kaito’s office the more bodies there are until she rounds a corner and sees Kingsman holding Kaito in the air by his throat with one hand and she is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman!?” But as he looks at her she sees his red eyes and she backs up and Kaito says
"Akita ru-" But Kingsman breaks Kaito’s neck and drops Kaito to the floor and he starts walking towards her but Tadashi jumps in front of her and she's *shocked* but Tadashi rushes Kingsman and Tadashi tries to slash Kingsman but Kingsman catches his paw and crushes it and Tadashi *yelps in pain* and Akita screams
"KINGSMAN STOP!" Kingsman punches Tadashi in the top of his head smashing him into the ground and Kingsman raises his foot and Akita closes her eyes and all she hears is a sickening crunch and he slowly walks up to Akita and she opens her eyes, she’s *shaking with fear* and Kingsman reaches out about to grab her face but she suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat but she notices Kingsman and Tadashi are both sleeping next to her and she thinks
“What was that dream!? I’ve never had a dream like that before'' Akita gets up and gets out of the bed and goes downstairs and sits at the table thinking but as she's thinking she doesn’t notice Kingsman walk past her and out the back door until she hears it close and she gets up and runs over to the door and opens it and she sees Kingsman walks into the forest and she says
“Kingsman wait!” But he keeps walking and she runs to the edge of the forest and tries to look through the trees to see him but she can’t and she turns around but she gets *scarred* as she sees Kingsman standing behind her and Kingsman says
“Yo” Akita says
“I just want to talk” Kingsman says
“About what?” Akita says
“About what happened yesterday” Kingsman says
“There’s no need, you're just untrustworthy” Akita says
“I know I am but–” Kingsman says
“Who forces the person they love to do something they don’t want to do?” Akita says
“You did it too” Kingsman says
“I would never” Akita says
“What about the sake?” Kingsman says
“What Sake? I don’t even drink” Akita says
“Kingsman, I want to be serious right now. I’ve never seen you like that before'' Kingsman says
“All right, let’s be serious then…We still have nothing to talk about, I know you wanted to help but the things I have to deal with are bigger than you can imagine” Akita says
“I understand” Kingsman says
“But that doesn’t mean you're useless to me, you still help me with other things” Akita says
“Are you really not mad at me?” Kingsman says
“I’m not mad at you, I know you mean well. But you're just a little dumb” Akita punches Kingsman in the stomach and Kingsman flicks Akita on the head but Kingsman says
“Seriously, I’m not mad. A bit disappointed that I allowed myself to be controlled. But I’m not mad” Akita says
“I promise I’ll never do it again” Kingsman says
“Oh, regardless of whether or not you're going to try it again or not, it wouldn’t have worked. My body and mind are constantly adapting to new threats and attacks. So it won’t work on me anyway, but with it being my first time dealing with your ability it's completely different from all the basic other versions of mind control. It's like you attached to my soul, honestly I'm glad I was able to regain control as fast as I did. Regardless of it would have tried to come out of me or not it would have attached directly to your soul, creating a reverse link and then I would have had to kill you" Kingsman puts his hand on Akita's face and *smiles* and says
"Do you know how hard it would be to find someone who would put up with half the things that I do to you? Actually with how good I look it wouldn't be that hard, just inconvenient" Akita hugs Kingsman and says
"I love you, and I'm really sorry for putting you through that" Kingsman says
"This is a lot of contact and a weird way to react to being told I would have had to replaced you had my darkness effected you" Akita starts tearing up and says
"But it would have been all my fault" Kingsman says
"Ok, it's time to let go. Bullying you isn't fun if your not going to defend yourself” Akita lets go of Kingsman and Kingsman walks past her into the woods but Akita turns around and says
"I love you!" Kingsman says
"Obviously, who wouldn't" Kingsman continues walking deeper into the forest and Akita turns around and walks back into the house but as she opens the door Kingsman appears in front of her and kisses her and says
“You know I love you” As he let's go of her he disapppears.
At the same time Kono,Minato,Masaru,Matsuno, and Hironaka all make it back into Kei’s office and Minato says
“Lord Kei!” Kei is *confused* and says
“What the hell are all of you doing back here!?” Masaru says
“Kingsman was there!” Kei is *shocked* and says
“What!? Where’s Goto and Your puppet?” Minato says
“Goto stopped to fight Kingsman and his puppet did as well” Kei says
“So they're both dead, damn it! We needed them, no matter we still–” But Kei is interrupted by someone screaming
“HELP!” From outside and Kei walks over to the window and looks out and he sees a bloody Goto stumbling through the street towards his office and Kei *chuckles* and says
“Well, now this changes things'' Goto falls to the ground and some warriors outside pick him up and take him away and Minato says
“What is it my lord?” Kei *laughs* and says
“Goto is alive'' Everyone is *shocked* and Minato says
“Are you sure my lord?” Kei says
“He’s outside, about to be taken to the hospital. But now that leaves us with one still missing” Kono stands up and grabs a piece of paper and pen and writes
“He’s dead” Kei says
“Just take over another person” Kono writes
“I will not take possession of weaklings, that body was extremely strong and useful” Kei says
“Unless your going to run around writing notes to people and handing them out, I’d advise you pick another body” Kono's voice comes through Masaru as he says
“How about this one? Physically it is strong and with me in control I'll turn him into a better warrior then Minato. Plus I choose the weaker brother so the loss isn't as significant” Kei says
“No” Controlled Masaru says
“Or allow me Goto’s body, or whatever's left of him. He cannot be useful anymore” Kei says
“No, I need all of you in sound and unique mind. I don’t need two of my valuable warriors under one mind” Kono writes
“So what do I do? I have an Idea since we killed Mano. Allow me to use him as my new puppet” Kei says
“The Reaper! You want me to grant you access to the Reaper’s power. Do you think I’m a fool Kono?'' Kono writes
“I have no reason to move against you my lord so long as I still am allowed the Shimadzu region you have my undying loyalty” Matsuno says
“There’s no point in trying to go back if Kingsman knows you’re ability he would have already taken Mano’s body” Kei says
“No matter how much I despise Kingsman I can admit he is smart. Even if there's a small chance that Mano’s body is still there, there's a bigger chance he’s still inside the Minamoto Region and they're all on high alert” Kono writes
“What else do I do then my lord?” Kei says
“Take your pick of warriors outside, but don’t make it obvious” Kono puts the pin and paper down and walks out of the room and Minato says
“What do we do about the Minamoto Region now?” Kei says
“Their security is going to be heightened and Kingsman still might even be there. We'll need a distraction to lure them away” Matsuno says
“We can attack the Tohoku Region'' Everyone’s *shocked* and Kei says
“So all of you have a death wish huh!?” Matsuno says
“That’s the best way to distract them, and plus it gives us a chance to weaken their defenses for when we make our full invasion” Kei says
“And who will be the ones to attack the Tohoku Region?” Matsuno says
“Me and Hironaka will, and at the same time you,Minato,Masaru, and Kono can rush the Minamoto Region'' Kei says
“Hmm, if you're truly willing to put your lives on the line for this then fine. But if you plan on attacking them directly then both of you will need to train very hard while I prepare a plan on how to take over the Minamoto Region while keeping their armies intact. Thinking about it now, I wish we could have found a way to keep Mano alive and join us, but no matter. We’ll move forward and get the rest of their warriors. I just need to get everything in order” Everyone leaves the room but as Matsuno and Hironaka make it out the door Hironaka pulls Matsuno away from everyone else and says
“What the hell is wrong with you?” Matsuno says
“You wanted a way out, I’m giving it to you” Hironaka says
“What!? By getting me killed!” Matsuno says
“We’re going to let Lord Kei attack the other villages first drawing Kingsman and Kaito away from the village and we’ll have to fight some guards and possibly Kingsman or Kaito if we act to early, but as long as it’s just a simple fight they won’t kill us more than likely. So either in the middle of the fighting or after it’s done, you’re going to leave and go home” Hironaka says
“No I can’t, I won’t leave you. Especially not under those conditions!” Matsuno says
“This is about to become an all out war, this is going to be your only opportunity to leave. You talked about how much you missed them, would you really want to miss your only opportunity to see them again?” Hironaka says
“I-I…Thank you, Matsuno''
