Loose ends The next day, Akui was up bright and early and waving to the night shift security guards. The sun hadn't shone yet but light was beginning to show the heavy clouds above. Every once in awhile, the sky would light up more due to lightning. Akui was thankful he had such luxurious home to escape the rain, even if this home was the Tea house.

Akui was heading to the main office when he noticed a light coming from the accountants office. Akui crept up to it slowly and peered inside. Inside, Mamoru was scattering paper all over looking for something. Akui continued to watch him and soon realized that Mamoru was planning to cut and run. Akui knew he was an asset in his drug operation and while he did not really need the man, he knew way to much. Mamoru was finished packing all his papers and went to grab something long and wrapped in cloth. When he looked to the door, he thought he saw someone so he rushed to it and opens the sliding door to peer outside. No one was there but standing above his head was Akui holding his ninjato with a kungfu grip. He wanted to slash Mamoru directly in his head, but there was too many things going on as the morning staff were starting to show up. Mamoru, seeing the coast was clear ran off to heading towards one of the working girl's room. Akui followed him quietly wanting to see what were his intentions now. Mamoru opened one of the doors reached inside to grab one of the girls by the wrist. From where Akui was hiding in the rafters, he recognized the girl as Touchi, one of his prized girls who was drugging the clients. Akui face was extremely red hot with anger. Mamoru had gone to far now. Using the body flicker technique, he disappeared from his perch and reappeared landing softly by the entrance of the tea house. He quickly ran outside and headed out past the gates of konoha.

Mamoru was checking to make sure he had everything before he grabbed his grabbed the reins of his carriage horse. He snapped the reins and steered the horse out of konoha. His plan was to start new in a new village. He couldn't live with what was happening to girls...or rather girl since the other one was dead. By leaving everything behind, he could easily slip out without being noticed. He informed the guards at the gate he would be back knowing full well he had no intentions of ever coming back. Once outside he had the horses changed speed into a gallop. The accountant and the prostitute began ride along the pathway through the forest just as the first patter of rain began to fall. The ride seemed to go smoothly, until they came across two hooded figures, one extremely tall the other very short. Mamoru had half a mind to run the figures over if there wasn't a fallen tree behind them. It was obvious that these two were waiting them and Mamoru had an idea of who the smaller figure was. He held his hand to notion the girl to stay on the carriage. He reached back and pulled out a long object wrapped in cloth. "Akui..let us pass. We have no quarrel with you but we no longer want to be apart of this.!" Akui stepped forward with his ninjato already drawn. He pulled his hood back and pointed his blade to him. " you already were apart of this when you took money from the tea house then me. You know too much and I'm sorry, but I cannot let you leave here." The rain began to start pouring soaking all of them. Mamoru stared at Akui with disbelief that this kid was going to challenge him. However he wasn't about to let him talk to him any longer as if they were equal. He pulled out a nodachi from the cloth. It was a beautifully adorned with a flame and crest of the Sagara family. He then unsheathed his weapon and swung it around his body once. The arc and sharpness of the blade made the water bend around him thanks to his speed. He then held the blade with two hands and held it up to eye level. It was at this point that Akui felt nervous. He looked back to Kelton who only shook his head. It was clear this was Akui's problem and his fight alone. Whether he died or not, Kelton wasn't in the middle of any of this. Akui took a deep breath and began to weigh his options. He couldn't use lighting because of the rain and if he tried to body flicker to him, there was a good chance he might slip in the mud. Akui took a deep breath then held his ninjato with two hands downward to the right. Using the chakra under his feet, he stabilized himself to run towards Mamoru. He screamed out loud with rage but before he could even get close to him, Mamoru spun his body to the left then extended his arm. The blade swirled around his body and it was perfectly timed to catch Akui as he gotten too close. Akui did not expect him to be able to move so fast. He was lucky enough to be able to react to it by doing a cartwheel to the left. When he landed back on his feet, he leapt back then placed a hand to his cheek. When he looked at his hand, he saw blood which made him shiver for a moment. When he looked up, he had to quickly move his head to the left then right then jump back a few feet as Mamoru's last strike went for his chest. Mamoru then leapt into the air as Akui did in order to bring his blade down on him. As Akui landed, he tumbled to the left to escape the incoming blade. He quickly got to his feet then body flickered onto a tree limb to catch his breath. He couldn't believe that someone with such an long awkward looking weapon could move with such grace and ease. Akui was going to have to rethink his approach. "Let is go Akui, I don't want to have to kill you...even if you might have deserved it." Akui grew angry with remark. His grip on his blade increased to the point the White of his knuckles began to show. Akui leapt from the tree limb. He held the ninjato out at shoulder height then pulled his arm back quickly to make the weapon twirl. While still in the air, he leaned his body to the right so he would be sideways then kicked the handle of the ninjato. The blade flew towards Mamoru spiraling and gaining speed. It was aimed directly at his chest but Mamoru was a skilled fighter and easily deflected the tanto by waving his nodachi in front of him downward from left to right. Meanwhile Akui had rotated his body back to pointing at Mamoru while his hands were creating seals Tiger → Boar → Dog → Tiger. Mamoru didn't have enough time to bring his weapon back to block nor could he as wires quickly ensared him. Akui landed a few feet behind him and pulled the wire tight. Mamoru cried out in pain as thin wire was cutting into he skin through sheer force. Yet it was not enough to kill him and Akui's blade had been knocked away about 15 feet away in front of him. Akui looked past the dripping water from his hair to see the blade sticking into the ground by the blade. He knew if he let go of him, there was a good chance that Mamoru would catch him before he managed to his weapon. He gritted his teeth and pulled hard jumping backwards and using the momentum to push him into mamoru's back. Mamoru fell on his front as he felt the hard kick to his lower back. He fell into the mud but also felt his bonds loosen. He knew Akui had released his bond and he could only guess it was to get to the grab the blade. He quickly jumped to his feet and chased down Akui as he ran to get his blade. Akui managed to grab the handle but Mamoru was fast enough that his blade alone would reach Akui's back. Mamoru had closed in as he held his blade up and was bringing it down with the intention of killing young Akui. He had enough of giving the child chances and quite frankly, he was beyond pissed with his antics. Sure that he finally had Akui, Mamoru slashed Akui from the left of his right shoulder down the middle of his back. However, rather spewing blood. A puff of smoke clouded his vision before showing the image of wooden stump. -past- Akui took Taiki's hand after a resulted spar in which Akui lost. He however remembered the very words he spoke to him, analyze, plan, execute. More importantly plan steps ahead of your opponent. Akui nodded his head in agreement with Taiki's words of wisdom. "I will remember these in my darkest moments...thank you..." -present- Akui had planned to make Mamoru chase him and this run into a trap placed by him. The moment Mamoru realized he had been bamboozled, Akui had sliced his tendons at the back of both his legs to force Mamoru to his knees. Akui grabbed his head and held his blade under his neck. Touchi who was still on the carriage screamed held her hands out while crying for mercy. Akui held Mamoru chin in one hand while the other kept the blade close to his jugular. Mamoru had his hands on the boy's wrist trying to pry them from his neck but struggling and failing. "Akui wait...I went to talk to Hishiko, I told I was leaving but I never once mentioned what you were up to. Please just let us go." Akui looked down as he held his victim before tilting his head to look at Kelton. The hooded figure shook his head to the side which made Akui grit his teeth more. "I don't believe you." Began to struggle against Mamoru strength as the blade started to dig into his skin. Mamoru gave a most bone-chilling, blood-curdling scream that Akui ever heard. He wanted to stop but his fear of already going to far made continue to drag the blade across the man's throat. Suddenly the grip on Akui's wrist loosened and Mamoru arms fell limp to the side. Akui was breathing heavily through sheer adrenaline and hypertension as he let the body fall in the mud. Touchi screamed and tried to cover her mouth but couldn't. She looked to Akui and his accomplice then jumped off the carriage to run back to konoha for help. Akui had watched her run off but he simply didn't have it in him to kill again. Kelton must have sensed this because he walked behind Akui while he was distracted and patted him on the shoulder. "I will take care of this one. You need sone time to get over what you have done. Kelton then began to ran after the girl taking long strides to easily catch up. Akui was left alone as the cold rain continued to pour. He watched the mud turn red from Mamoru's body. For one of the first few times in his life, Akui have a quick answer for what he had done. As he watched the blood, images off his uncle and the other prostitute filled his mind along with Mamoru's rolled back eyes. Akui shook his head and forced himself to move. He grabbed the nodachi and the sheath as well as his tanto and the cloth cover for the nodachi.

Later on,the rain had stopped and Kelton returned with the body of Touchi which was thrown into the cart. Mamoru was also thrown onto the cart and the two murderers rode the cart towards a secluded spot that only they knew. Deep in the forest, there was a surrounding of trees around a large pit. The pit seemed to have no end which was perfect for Akui. He helped Kelton take the bodies off the cart, pour oil on them, them throw them down the pit. Lastly Kelton lit a match and dropped the fire down. It seemed to take forever but eventually a large flame grew at the very bottom. It was still faint to tre naked eye which made Akui ask, "how deep is this hole!" Kelton shrugged his shoulders " maybe 50 feet give or take. I wouldn't recommend going down there though. The earth down there excretes a poisonous gas which out here is harmless. But down there, the natural gas is abundant and unless you can breathe poison, you will die before you even reach the bottom. " Kelton walked off and headed back to the cart leaving Akui to watch the flames beginning to die. He walked back with towards the cart and slumped in it. Kelton watched but said nothing.

Back at the tea house, night had finally settled and everyone was leaving. Akui however was just arriving in a new set of clothes that weren't bloody. He held his tanto in his waist but nothing else as he began to walk up the flight of stairs to the main office in the attic. When he entered, Hishiko was there and from the looks of it, she had been waiting for him. Akui walked up to her desk as he swallowed some spit. He opened his mouth but before he could say anything, she cut him off. " Akui, you were brought into this home to be our eyes and ears cause no one would suspect you. Not even I suspected you but it seems that Mamoru did. " Akui froze in place as his eyes went wide. All he could think of was, " this is it, I am finally getting what I deserve." He hung his head down and gripped his tanto. He closed his eyes just as Hishiko spoke again. " it seems he got the better of us and was working with two of my girls to take away money from us both. I suppose that he felt guilty for tricking you and I so he resigned this morning. Akui, I need you to do your job better next time to catch when my employees aren't being loyal to my family. " Akui head shot up suddenly. He was expecting her to tell him if he murders. It seemed that Mamoru was telling the truth. Hot tears began to roll down his face and Akui could not look Hishiko straight in the face knowing what he did was go against the only people who genuinely cared for him. He bowed lowly and wiped his left eye. "Yes m"am I will try harder next time." He then walked out of the room, out of the tea house, and out of konoha. Down the dirt path he met up with Kelton who was leaning on his arm against a tree. Akui walked right up to him and was just finishing crying his heart out. "I killed him...for no reason." Kelton nodded his head. "Yes I figured that." Akui eyes widen again and he took a step back in somewhat disgust. " you knew and you didn't try and stop me?" We could have let them live!" Kelton shook his head again then broke into a deep chuckle. "I knew you were soft...sure you killed before but for you, there was always a reason behind. At least that is what you told yourself. I was curious about you when we first met and your story was rather interesting which was how I knew you weren't really a killer. Sure you raised cruelly but until now you didn't have shred of a cold bone in your body. Now you are ready for get into this business and in this business, we leave no loose ends." He then placed a hand on Akui's shoulder and knelt before him. "The days ahead of us will be hard and the enemies will be strong, but you must be cold hearted to all of it. For now, we take as much as we can get, then we move onto the next place. Drugs like these will spread like wildfire. Our best bet would be to pass them on to someone else dumb enough to think they can make an easy fortune, fuck them over and get the profits and run." Kelton then got up and gave the nodachi to Akui. "As I promised you if you win against that mama whoever, I will teach you what I know with the sword."
