Chapter Four
“Do you know each other Tora?” Master Sai asked as he stood, looking at Tora curiously
“No.” Tora avoided his master’s stare, he lied; he knew Saga very well, too well for a person, Saga was Tora’s ex-lover, both parted ways just a few years ago, “I just bumped into him the other day.”
“I see.” Master Sai looked back at Saga, the man had his head downcast, clearly ashamed, “Bring him to the cells, and make sure to not let him escape.”
“I’ll bring him there master.” Tora said firmly, when in truth he was in the verge of breaking down. “There are no guards by the entrance, so i’ll bring him to the cell.”
“Very well” Master Sai said before he started walking back inside the mansion.
“Go back to your post, let me handle this prisoner.” Tora ordered
“Yes Sir!” the guards bowed and started to run to their post by the entrance.
When there were no more people in sight, Tora made his move and grabbed Saga roughly by the arm, making the man wince, he dragged Saga to the direction of the Cells, Saga didn’t try to protest nor run away, which made Tora confused by the man’s actions, it had been 2 years since they both last saw each other.
When both men reached the Cells, Tora ordered the guards to leave, saying he needed to interrogate the blonde prisoner alone. When they were both left alone Tora let go of his grip on Saga’s arm.
“What are you doing here Saga?” Tora broke the silence between them; Saga flinched at the tone Tora was using, “A spy?”
“Tora...” Saga wrapped his arms around Tora’s waist, hugging him tightly, “I missed you...”
“I missed you too Saga, but we were long over.” Tora pushed Saga lightly by the shoulder.
Both men stared at each other, Silence yet again taking over; Saga hanged his head low, Tears building up in his eyes.
“I don’t understand Tora...” Saga started, he looked up at Tora, tears streaming down his face, “What did i do wrong for you leave me?”
“Saga...” Tora stared at Saga as he cried; the man was beautiful when he cried, “Please don’t cry...”
“Tell me Tora...” Saga hugged Tora once more, he sobbed in the man’s chest
Hearing the other cry made Tora feel guilty, he knew it was his fault why Saga was crying, he broke his heart, but in those 2 years, Tora kept thinking about Saga, not forgetting the wonderful memories they had, Tora still loves Saga, it hadn’t change in those 2 years.
“I still love you...” Saga sobbed, tightening his arms around Tora.
“I’m so sorry Saga, for hurting you, i made the biggest mistake of my life, until today i still feel the same way about you, i didn’t forget about you, i still love you the same way, and i wish i had never left you that day, please forgive me...”
“There is nothing to be forgiven for Tora, i forgave you already...” Saga wiped his tears with the back of his hand
“Why are you here Saga? You know threatening to enter Takashima Mansion is dangerous, and now look where you are!” Tora almost scolded
“I was ordered to kill the Young Master Takashima...” Saga hanged his head low yet again, “Master Shiroyama, had hired me, he said without a heir in Takashima clan, he can easily take over the south region without using much force, it sickens me to kill a innocent child, but i had no choice, but im thankful to have been sent here, i wouldn’t have found you.”
“But now you have to be locked up in this cruel place, it hurts me to lock you up down here, but it was an order.” Tora averted his gaze away from Saga
“Do what you have to do Tora, it’s ok with me, but please promise me you’ll visit me...” Saga hugged Tora again and gave him a tight squeeze
“I promise.” Tora opened an empty cell, and waited for Saga to enter, before Tora closed the cell door, he gave Saga a quick kiss.
The two men stared at each other for a moment, clearly the bond between them starting to be re-born, the moment didn’t last when a guard entered the empty halls, Tora gave Saga one last smile before he closed the door and locked it, Tora sighed, tired of all the events, he made his way out, giving the guard on duty the keys to the cells, giving one last look, Tora made his way back to the mansion.

“Shiroyama-sama!!”
A tall, brunette man ran through the long hallway, servants looking at him confusedly, as he reached the last door in the hall, he stopped in front of his master’s room; he took a deep breath and slid the door open.
“What news do you bring me Miyavi?” the man looked at Miyavi tiredly, clearly his age affecting his stamina.
“The ninja you hired Saga-san, according to the news I’ve heard he was caught.” Miyavi panted tiredly
“Such a worthless fellow...”

Next day
“Young Master, wake up” Hiroto shook Kouyou gently, “Tora-san is outside.”
“uhh... five more minutes...” Kouyou swatted Hiroto’s hand; and covered his head with his soft blanket, “tell him to come back later...”
“Kouyou-sama.” Tora suddenly slid the door open, walking next to the sleeping blonde; he grabbed the blanket and pulled it off, revealing the very well sleeping blonde
“Hey!” Kouyou shot up from his lying position and glared at Tora, who was smirking, “You’re an asshole.”
“Call me whatever you want, but it’s time for your training.” Tora let go of the blanket letting it fall on the floor and crossed his arms to his chest, “Come on, hurry up and change.”
“It’s 5 in the morning!” Kouyou whined, “And it’s freezing at this time!”
“Get used to it, because you’ll do this every day, and i mean every day.” Tora smirked
“Fine.” Kouyou got up and mumbled curses against Tora, “Well get out! I can’t change if your here!”
“Hurry up changing, and wear something comfortable, you’ll be moving a lot.” Tora chuckled and left the room, leaving Hiroto and Kouyou alone
Kouyou glared daggers behind Tora’s back, it’s only first day of training and Kouyou already hates the guy, he knows Tora doesn’t care if he likes him or not, but Kouyou can’t help but want to punch Tora, and erase the smirk he had on his face.
“Here are your clothes Kouyou-sama” Hiroto placed the clothed next to the blonde, bowing before leaving; he left Kouyou alone to change.
--
“Too slow!” Tora scolded, Kouyou groaned in pain as the wooden stick Tora was holding hit painfully at his leg, “Agility can be a warrior’s advantage, faster Kouyou!”
“How can i be fucking faster when these stupid fucking weights are on my legs?!” Kouyou shouted and stopped running, beads of sweat forming in his forehead, even when it was cold in that certain morning, Kouyou felt his whole body burning, Kouyou panted tiredly, “And can you throw that stupid stick away! I didn’t hear my father say you can hit me!”
“Dont be such a girl Kouyou, right now, you’re under my supervision, so my rules follow, your father chose me to train you, so don’t complain, or you want me to add more weights on your legs, or better yet put some on your arms, and no, im not throwing this stick away, this is for discipline.” Tora smirked, making Kouyou want to punch Tora in the face again, if it wasn’t for the weights and his tiredness Kouyou could have easily punched Tora right then and there.
“You really are an asshole!” Kouyou glared again, Tora clearly unaffected, “No wonder, no woman wants to be with you...” Kouyou started to jog again, trying to conserve little energy for him to breath normally, “You suck, you Fucking bastard!”
Tora watched as Kouyou jogged further away from him, Kouyou’s insults clearly not affecting him, but amuses him. Tora remembers he used to be like that when he first began training, he would insult his trainer, and call him names, seeing Kouyou doing it to him, makes him want to laugh out loud.
