                “So I have decided against helping them. After all I loathe them and their kin.” Zeff clenched his fist before spinning around to see Mayu and Raito.

                “You know I don’t think that acceptable Zeff, you promised to keep your oath to me and I say you’re going to help them.” Lady Mayu crosses her arms as she stares down Zeff.

                “Zeff-sama don’t be unreasonable, it’s true you have a promise to keep to Lady Mayu so why don’t you keep it and then if later in time you can enact revenge yourself! There is nothing better than building an enemy up only to tear them down later.” Raito interject only to get a frown from both Zeff and Lady Mayu… “No? That wouldn’t work?”

“So some of the villagers started to show signs of animosity towards Zeff? Events and accidents not truly associated with him, he started too blamed for? And evens till some villagers most likely spoke out about him learning your clan’s secrets…am I right Tenzo?”

Tenzo sighs before nodding. “You are correct. The mysterious nature of the Kazima and Zeff’s previous experiences made him already reclusive to the point only a few knew his identity. So I can understand a little apprehensive however he had my full faith and still. They don’t know the power he contains and can wield. The proof comes from the fact that they all live despite the severity of the accident.”

“What happen to him after the accident?” Yukari squeaked out.

“He woke a week later; Zeff had managed to survive despite the grievous wounds through the abilities of a Kazima. The abilities of a Kazima depend on the type of blood they acquire.”  Tenzo stopped and looked at Zenju.

“You’re fond of him aren’t you young Taka.” Lady Mayu smiled again as she slowly walked side by side with Yukari.

Yukari blushed slightly before shaking her head. “No… well maybe a little I have always liked Zeff. He was admirable when we were kids. Always tried help even when the other families didn’t want to have anything to do with him. So I guess I can understand why he is so cold…it’s just I…”

“You wish he was like his childhood self?” Lady Mayu looked down at Yukari as they slowly walked through several arch ways.

“o-of course I do!” Yukari stopped and put her hand to her mouth as she blushed. “Sorry.” She looked down at the floor. “I wish the war that reached our village was ended before it had… Zeff had a hard childhood as it was. Maybe, if only the war had never started or if it happened later and Zeff could have showed is worth, his mettle that…then maybe these events wouldn’t have happened.” Yukari sighs.

Zeff pulls out a knife. “I need the top of your arm…”

“Run Yukari-sama… don’t trust him…” Hataya tries to crawl closer and then collapses in a heap of pants.

Yukari frowns at Hataya and stares into Zeff’s eyes. “You have to cut my arm…?” Zeff unsheathes the small blade.

“Yes.”

Yukari thinks shifting her eyes back and forth. “For pain?”

Zeff raises an eyebrow looking at Yukari. “No for your blood, Yukari-chan. While pain can be used to see if one is lying that is not the purpose here. I have a better method.” Zeff raises Yukari’s arm up as she slowly lets him do so. Zeff pauses after pressing the blade into her skin and looks at her. “Torturing is not what I am into…”

                Five people enter the darkened room. Four of the five that entered were men the fifth was a female who was flanked on all four corners. Cold eyes watched from a throne and a dais on the opposite end of the room as the guests continued forward. Torches flickered light out casting shadows around the room.

                “Zeff Taka!” The eldest looking male spoke out from his spot on the right corner. He glared at the man on the throne. His gaze was equally met with disdain. Moments of silence went by before Zeff got up from the throne.

                “Kazima”

                “What?” The eldest and then the other three males clenched their fists. The female just tilted her head as she shifted the large scroll on her back moved with her.
