"You just wait until the other elders hear of this! You won't be able to get what you want, you fool!" and with that, she stormed out of the room.

At least you don't have to worry about tons of people always staring at you, you don't have as many tutors, and.." he raised a brow when he heard Fumiko talking about the sword. How was it possible for him to own a sword that he never once laid eyes on before? Unless it was meant as a gift from the branch family or from his father, and he just wasn't presented the gift yet. And how was Fumiko even able to tell how many spirits were inside of the blade? Were tainted allowed to learn such abilities? "That's horrible! I wouldn't want to carry something like that around!" he quickly covered the sword with the cloth so that it would no longer be visible. He didn't like the idea of having so many people..or so many spirits always keeping a watch on whatever he does. It just made doing things he wanted to do that much harder, because they would probably prevent him from doing them, "That sounds like my father though..wanting to give me something that would keep an eye on me and prevent me from doing..things.." He didn't want to elaborate those 'things', in fear that Fumiko would report it to his father. He walked away from the sword and then sat down in a chair, upset at knowing that sword was his, and also that it was in the same room, "I wonder how much money I can get from selling it.."
