Chapter Three
“Young Master!” Kouyou’s servant called, “May i come in?”
“Do you really have to ask that?” Kouyou grumbled, “What is it?”
When Kouyou got home that day, he went straight to studying like his father asked him too, he had been studying for at least 2 hours without any break, it was always like that, he gets into what his reading too much, having his own world, all had been ruined when he heard his servant call out. He heard the sliding door open, then close.
“Your father wants to see you.” His servant said, “Now” he added firmly
“Did you ask why Hiroto?” Kouyou closed his book and placed it back to the shelf, reminding himself to finish reading it later.
“He didn’t say anything, he just called for you.” Hiroto shrugged
“Okay, im going.” Kouyou put down his glasses, and stood, he slid the door open, “Oh can you tell Yutaka to make me Dango, bring it here, when i get back.” Kouyou walked to the direction of his father’s quarters.
“Yes master” Hiroto went out of Kouyou’s room sliding the doors shut and ran to the direction of the kitchen.

“Father, its Kouyou”
“Come in son!” he heard his Father call, the doors slid open, revealing his Father’s servant Shou, the smell of incense greeting him.
Kouyou walked inside, giving Shou a small smile, Shou smiled back and bowed respectably.
“Shou can you leave the room for awhile, i need to talk to Kouyou alone.” His father ordered, Shou nodded and left the room, “Come here son”
Kouyou followed, he kneeled two feet away from his father.
“I’ve been thinking.” His father started, “I think it’s time for you to start training, you don’t know much about Self-defence and i don’t like you to be in danger, So i have called for the best fighter in our clan to train you, Come out Tora.”
Kouyou was slightly confused by his father, He looked around the room, seeing no one else, suddenly he felt someone beside him, he looked at his left; he gasped
‘How did he get there!? I didn’t hear the doors open, i didn’t even hear footsteps, how did he do that!?’
Kouyou’s father chuckled at his son’s confusion and shock, Tora was a great warrior, he had fought for the Takashima ever since he became a Samurai, since then he was the strongest and most intelligent among other warriors, Kouyou’s father had brought Tora from the West when he was only a child, Tora was an orphan, he had no other family members left because of the conflicts, which makes him now a Takashima.
“You have a lot to learn Kouyou, so i want you to start training tomorrow.”
“But father, what about my studies?” Kouyou asked
“You can study anytime you want, but concentrate on your training for now.”
“Yes father, i understand” Kouyou stood and bowed before he opened the sliding door, “Would you like me to send in some Dango for you?”
“That would be nice of you son” he smiled at Kouyou
When Kouyou left the room and his footsteps no longer heard, Tora kneeled on the tatami mat, a serious look on his face.
“You want me to train the young master? Why?” Tora asked
“You already know the reason Tora, you know that Kouyou will be the one to carry the Takashima name, it would cause me great grief to lose my only heir, i want him to be trained just like you were trained, Kouyou is my only son, my daughters cannot be heirs, I want Kouyou to learn the great responsibilities he would soon hold, I want him to surpass me and the other ancestors, I want a great future for him, so please Tora, Train my son.” the older stared at Tora pleadingly, Kouyou’s father wasn’t the type of person to beg nor ask, he would throw away all his pride for his only son, even if it means humiliation.
There was a long awkward silence, neither of the two men moved nor talked.
“I accept.” Tora sighed, he owed the older man his life, if Kouyou’s father didn’t take him, he might have never been a samurai, or even worse, he could have died.
“Thank you Tora.” Kouyou’s father was relieved
Loud footsteps were heard, before the door burst open.
“Master Sai, I’m sorry for interrupting, but the guards have caught an intruder threatening to come inside the mansion, you must come quickly!” Shou panted, tired from running.
Master Sai and Tora stood and quickly left the room, the three men ran to the direction of the mansion entrance, they were greeted by the scene before them, a man wearing a fitting black suit, a mask covering half his face, he was forcedly kneeled and two guard holding his shoulder firmly, Master Sai walked to the scene.
“A ninja” Master Sai said as he was in front of the mysterious man, he kneeled to have a good view
The ninja glared at Master Sai, but the older was clearly unaffected, the mysterious ninja glanced behind Master Sai, catching a view of Tora, the Ninja’s eyes widened.
“Shou make sure Kouyou is in his room, don’t let him walk here.” Master Sai ordered, his gaze still fixed at the mysterious ninja
“Yes Master!” Shou said before he ran to the direction of Kouyou’s room
Tora walked out, he stood next to Master Sai, he stared at the Ninja
‘Why do i feel like i know him?’
“Tell me, who sent you?” Master Sai asked, he was answered by silence, “Tell me.”
The mysterious man kept quiet, he glanced up at Tora, clearly seeing no emotion in the man’s eyes. He averted his eyes back to the ground.
“Shiroyama” the ninja mumbled lowly, he made sure to make it low enough, only Master Sai was able to hear.
Master Sai reached for the ninja’s face, the mysterious man panicked when he felt the elder hooking his finger on the mask on his face; clearly the older man was going to slide in down.
When the mask was fully removed, a shocked gasp was heard.
“Saga...” Tora whispered
~*~*To Be Continued*~*~

A mysterious man suddenly appeared, Seems like Tora knows who this person is.
Who is Saga in Tora's life? What is the reason of him going into the Takashima Mansion?
