"Like I said it would save you a great deal of pain to not call me a kid..." Takeo was single handedly parring the soldiers attack while still eating.
"You▓re coming with us now."
"I don't think so."
"Men seize that boy!" with one swoop, Takeo Blew all of the men backward. Was out the door, and gone before they could get up. Running down the street Takeo could hear the soldiers yelling and running after him.
"GET HIM!" yelled the officer to the other soldiers.
Takeo was running and turned the corner and a hand came out of nowhere and grabbed him and pulled him in the building.
"HEY! What do you think you▓re doing? LET ME GO!!!" yelled Takeo.
"Shhhhhh." said the man. And put his hand over Takeo▒s mouth and Takeo realized that it was Adamaru from last night. He and Takeo watched the soldiers pass by through the cracks in the door.
"What do you want?" Takeo asked.
"Kiyo wants to talk to you before you leave the town, come me." said Adamaru opened the door and walked out into the open. Waving to Takeo signaling that the coast was clear.
Takeo and Adamaru walked down the road for a while and they came in front of what looked liked an abandoned ware house.
"Come." he said, and walked through the door and Takeo followed and, he walked behind the man and they passed the entire ware house walking to the back. Adamaru opened a basement door.
"Come, inside." he said.
"Ok." and Takeo went down the steps and walked into a room that was out of place it was new and did not match the rest of the ware house. It was clean and had chairs and a table and everything you needed to live.
"Impressive, is this your hide out?" Takeo asked.
"For now yes." said Kiyo as he walked out from the darkness of another room connected to the main room that everyone was sitting around in.
"What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" asked Takeo.
"The files you had us steal, why do you want them?" asked Kiyo.
"Well that's none of your business, you don't need to know."
"The SUBETA group." he continued, "Five people controlling the elements of Fire, Water, Lighting, Earth, and Air the last of the Inubari clan other than TAKEO INUBARI the next clan leader whose where-about's are currently unknown." Kiyo looked up from what he was reading which must've been a copy of the original files Takeo had.
"What do you plan to do with that kind of power, and that's if you can round them up. What makes you think that you can get them to help you?" Kiyo asked.
"The fact that I'm their new leader alone is enough they have eternal loyalty to the Inubari clan."
"Oh and what if they've become rouge in the past few months? What then?" Kiyo asked.
If it's not their loyalty that will have them follow me it's what I plan to do to the empire."
"Oh and that is?"
"I will pay them back ten-fold for what they did to my clan...The empire will fall at the feet of 6 men."
"You better make that 7."
"What, why?"
"Because you're forgetting one Inubari clan member that has been forgotten, from the village."
"And who is that?"
"Me."
"What? You've got to be kidding me."
"No I'm not my name is Kiyo Inubari. I left the village one year ago."
"Oh I Remember you, your the one who was afraid that the empire was going to come and murder us one day so you set out to go see the world and ignore the fact that you're an Inubari by blood, you disgust me."
"I can understand why you▓re mad but please let me right my wrongs."
"Did I just hear you right? You want me to let a cowered prove that he's sorry and to right his wrongs? The only way to right your wrongs would to have been there that day that the incident happened, to have been there to help the women and children, escape. No there is no chance for you to right your wrongs you've committed you let your clan down you let your clan DIE!"
"Are you just gonna let him attack you like that Kiyo?!" yelled the big man.
"Yes I am because I deserve everything that he's saying, yes I was a cowered, yes I did leave on behalf of saving my own skin. I'm a cowered"
"That's not true! What about all of the recent things you've done they were dangerous you put your neck on the line as did we all." said the big man gesturing to Hayato and Hatomi.
"That may be true but I didn't do it when it counted, when my clan needed me I was no where to be found."
"If that is all you needed me for I'm going." said Takeo. And with that he left.
Takeo walked out of the doors of the ware house, and was surrounded by 50 soldiers, with guns. And another 30 behind them with swords. Takeo pulled out his sword.
"Put down your sword and lift your hands high in the air!" said a man in the middle of the soldiers.
"I said put down your sword!!"
"And who▓s going to make me?" Takeo asked.
"Alright boy I'm going to ask one more time and then the riflemen shoot, now PUT DOWN YOUR SWORD!!!!!!"
"Nope." he said.
"I see you▓re a gluten for punishment, MEN SHOOT THE BOY"
Takeo heard the shots but none of the bullets hit him.
