-Chapter 1-

Takeo walks into a pub and sits at the bar and a man sitting next to him started to talk.

"Midnight, at the bridge, and one weapon." said the man.

"How long will this take?" asked Takeo.

"Look we're thieves not clocks it could take hours it could one hour." said the man.
The man got up paid for his drink and left the bar.
Ten minutes later Takeo gets up and leaves the bar.

"One weapon eh?" Takeo said to himself.
He walked to the hotel he's staying at, and got something to eat, thinking while he ate.

"Well this will be a first, but then again there's a first time for everything." he thinks.

"Are you all set?" asked the hotel maid. "Yes this was very good thank you." answered Takeo.
Takeo paid for his meal and went to his room. When he got into his room Takeo leaned his sword against the bedside table, and laid in the bed thinking and he eventually fell asleep. In his sleep Takeo had a flash back.

It▓s back in time before the Inubari slaughter...

"You must never hesitate in the middle of battle, you must be firm in your attacks and never falter, if you do then you have already lost." A man says to a Younger Takeo.

"But father what if your opponent is stronger than you?" A younger Takeo asks.

"Then you become stronger than them." he answered

"How, Is it a super cool technique!?" An eager faced Takeo asks.

"No it is not."

"Then how?"

"Not now Takeo, you must find that out on your own, some day you will know what I mean..."

"I will father and when I do I will show you..."

The flash back fades away and Takeo wakes up in his bed, face up looking at the top of his room and turned toward his sword.

"Father." he whispered before picking it up and going downstairs.

"Excuse me, but what time is it?" Takeo asked the desk clerk.

"It is 11:49" replied the lady.

"Thank you." Takeo replied.
He walked out of the hotel and went on his way to the bridge,
As he walked he passed houses and many other buildings. Finally he came to the bridge, he waited at the bridge for 5 minutes when the man from the bar came to meet him.

"Your early." stated the man.

"Yes I hate to wait for things so I like to be punctual." Takeo answered.

"Well you won't have to wait for long. The others will be here in a minute."

"Understood, how many are there?"

"There▓s me and four others."

"You plus four more, This should be interesting." he remarked Just as Takeo said that a man showed up out of the darkness,

"What should be interesting? And why is your sarcastic ass smirking?" growled the man.

"Calm down Adamaru." Kiyo told the man.

"The fact that you guys plan to break into a high security military building with six people and thinking you'll get away with it unnoticed. That's what's funny and that's why I'm smiling because I like the way you run things." Takeo answered.

"Well glad you like it I think I'll take that as a compliment!" said another person in the darkness, a girl walked out into the light.

"Wow Kiyo you got us a cute client this time, what's your name boy?" The girl asked.
Takeo drew his sword and pointed it at her.

"If you call me a boy or kid again I will cut your mouth off your face." said Takeo.

"Oooooo tough guy, I like those kind." said the girl as she stepped over to Takeo and hung on him with her lanky arms around his shoulders.

"My name is Hatomi pleased to meet you."

"Enough you two, We have a job to pull. You client put your sword away." Said Kiyo

"I have a name you know." said Takeo

"Oooo what is it?!" asked the girl.

"Takeo Inubari." said Takeo.
