[Kaguya]

“People of the spirit are not normal... even after all these years, none of you understand this” he say listening to the goings on but hearing how he didn't match up to his father seemed to make his heart sink 'from bad to worse... Nobuo be true to yourself no matter what is expected of you, remember yourself' he thought to himself, he was disappointed in himself for not measuring up to his father, but was somewhat happy that his father would still be proud of him for wanting to protect his family in the manner he did

“I am glad I do not measure to my father” he said proudly, lifting his head up “It means I am my own person and I hope my son is the same” his words showed he wasn't at all worried about how Nobuo was, he was proud of his son and his eyes proved such things “How did my father meet the spirits?” he asked, his eyes showing a childish curiosity as he couldn't find any record of it which was unusual especially for the clan he was the ruling body of

Ken'ichi looked surprised hearing the words that came from Nobuo's mouth it had been over eight hundred years and was caught off guard once more, which was something he didn't like when he was in service but even more when he became an independent person free of his race and chains “Nothing has gotten into me Young lord Nobuo” for the moment he would play it off as a training injury until he could speak to his cousin “I must have trained a little to hard and didn't block properly one of the strikes of my teachers” he smiled a little, now wanting to kill his cousin for doing this

“It is the code of the warrior, Young lord Nobuo...” he moved to his knees and bowed slightly “You do not draw a weapon unless you intend to use it, as a blade will never be happy when drawn and hasn't tasted blood” it was the truth, and though he didn't like the code of the warrior inside the race or outside it he still followed it as an honourable man “Besides I wasn't telling you what to do, though I might bring it to your father's attention that you need a tutor in warrior code” he grinned evilly remembering how much Nobuo detested tutors in anyway shape or form

“My apologise for touching your sword, but I very much doubt you wish to stain your room floor with the blood of a tainted” his heart cringed as he said that sentence, having to call his own daughter tainted he was ready to fly off the handle 'what is going on cousin... cause if you don't have a good reason, traditions or not you'll find my sword through your heart' he was seething underneath the service but was calm on top

“Sorry, I was thinking of two other youths that look like yourselves” he say smiling a little as he rose, bowing once more he turned and started heading for the door, he knew his daughter had many things to ask him even as fumiko but he didn't want to answer any of them as it could and would just make things uneasy
