Nino sighed reading his letter back to himself and deciding that there was no way that he could send that. Not only was it completely embarrassing but it read like his whole interest in Ohno was based on some kind of ploy, like he had accused him of in the first place. Biting hard on his lower lip he ripped it in half and started again keeping it simple this time;

My dear friend, I am happy to have received your letter and I’m sorry that I was unable to see you but my lord has been keeping me busy. Thank-you for your help with Matsumoto-san…I have only seen him once since arriving here but he wasn’t particularly nice to me. Kimiko, the lady Ohno said that there was a reason and I see that’s true, I would like to know more but…I know that it has nothing to do with me and if you wanted to tell me then you would…Sorry I should have said anything…I miss you so much my friend but I’m sure that we will see each other again soon, please write again soon, until then I remain your friend Take Seiji….”

Sighing he read through it a couple more times before deciding that it was the best that he could do without sounding like a whiny child. Folding it over a few times he took some wax and then sealed it somehow knowing that it was just going to be opened again by either Sakurai or the lord himself.  He got to his feet and stole out of the room somehow irritated by the guards that were standing there. He knew that it was just on Ohno’s orders, either to protect him or stop him from leaving, but he couldn’t stop himself from noticing that they were staring at him as if he wasn’t worth their time.

“I’m going to see General Sakurai…You are welcome to come with me if those are your orders…” He muttered clutching his letter tightly in his fingers. Leaving them to make up his own mind he wandered down the hall and then down the steps glad that it wasn’t too late and he hoped that he wouldn’t just be disturbing the older man.

It appeared that the guards were under orders to follow him as they trailed after him slowly down the stairs and Nino wasn’t sure if he felt comforted or not by it all. He let out a sigh shrugging it off as he reached the ground floor and headed towards the ornate opening. The guards on duty there stiffened eyeing him suspiciously for a moment;

“You are not allowed to pass…”

“I wish to see General Sakurai…” He said with more confidence than he was feeling as he eyed the weaponry that he had at his side “If I’m not allowed to leave the castle then…Is there a chance that you may bring him here? Please…”

“Wait here…” One of the guards said slowly turning and marching out of the large doors giving Nino a glimpse of the outside world beyond. It appeared that Ohno castle was still preparing for trouble with almost all of its soldiers preparing for battle. He felt sick to his stomach when he started to realise that he was actually wishing for somebody to be dead, the Matsumoto brother, so that Ohno wouldn’t have to risk himself again. It was only a few moments before the door opened again and the guard and Sakurai came in, the General wearing a serious expression which softened only when he saw him standing there.

“Take-kun…You are well?”

“Yes, general I’m sorry for summoning you but…Um…I’m unable to leave the castle…I have a letter for Masaki…”

“I will take it to him…” Sakurai said grinning happily at the prospect and Nino wondered if he had been hoping for the excuse. “Walk with me a little? In the lord’s garden…I wish to ask you something…”

“Yes, sir…”
