Turned feeling his son's presence around, he thought he would have remained with Toshi, seeing him look into the training hall he sighed “You remember him don't you Nobuo” his words where quiet but quicker than he could blink he seen his son move into the training hall, he tried to grab his son's arm but he was to late and shook his head knowing the likely chance would be him stepping in

The teacher's seeing the boy stepping in narrowed their eyes, they had no idea who this boy was, but this hall was only used to teach the branch family. One of them moved forward quickly, drawing his sword and cut downwards with every intention of killing the boy. Ken'ichi seeing this dashed forward behind Nobuo and at the very last second turned taking the slash right across his back clenching his eyes a small whimper of pain heard.

His now jade eyes narrowed turning to the teacher that attempted to strike the boy down, stood up “You should be ashamed, drawing your sword at the young lord!” his voice though tired, was cold and showed authority, the teacher looked to ken'ichi and smirked “There is but one lord in this temple since the possession” his own words cold.

Ken'ichi moved to his knees in front of Nobuo like he had done so many times in the past and lowered his head “I am sorry my young lord...” he began his voice calm as it was the last time they met “Pay no mind to my training, it is an honour to be able to protect the main family” he knew he likely wouldn't feel comfortable with the treatment, but if it meant his safety he had to

The elder moved into the training hall his dull purple orbs glowing “This is Yuu... my reincarnated son, you will show him the same respect as you would show any of my family...” his words where cold as he moved towards him and from his neck brought out the pendent he had given Nobuo as a child and placed it around his neck with a smile “Do you understand?!” his voice boomed, the teachers nodding showing they understood clearly “As you didn't know, this time is forgiven since Ken'ichi stepped in... next time someone will be paying the price” his voice was bitter, he had lost his son once and wasn't going to let it happen to him again

“Nobuo... This is his training... nothing can be done about it” his voice was once more gentle, his eyes turning back to ken'ichi who was now continuing his training, he could tell just how tired his cousin was but this is the way it had always been, the branch family was raised to be protector’s of his and though harsh was necessary. This was the only thing that was done harder than any other tribe the training of the branch family
