His father's face darkened, "What happened to the Mistress?"
"I managed to kill her…"
"Good. Now, where did they take Ryu?"
Norimori's face grew dark, "I don't know. I lost sight of them… I think they went west… But…"
His father tossed the table in a fit of rage. He spoke through clenched teeth, "Assemble everyone. Find him."
Kiyomori nodded firmly, "Yes."
He ran out the door, not waiting for another command. The Head of the Taira clan clicked his tongue, "That foolish boy. He's always causing trouble for this family."
Norimori turned to his father, lacking all respect as he spat out, "This is all because of you. If you hadn't been trying to hide him away, this wouldn't have ever happened."
"You-"
Before the Head of the Taira clan could discipline him, Norimori turned and sprinted out of the room.
Tsunemori shouted out, "Ah! Wait! Your wounds haven't finished healing yet!!!"
