3rd POV. Kaedehara Estate. Four years ago.
In a large estate, filled with maple trees, there is a former noble samurai clan that was prominent for their sword techniques.
The Kaedehara Clan, was renowned to be one of the most prominent samurai dating back to the Kamakura Period, and is said to be as powerful as the Four Noble Clans of Japan, namely: Minamoto, Taira, Fujiwara, and Tachibana.
In fact, the Kaedehara Clan was considered to be the Fifth Noble Clan as they also believed to have descended from the First Emperor of Japan.
Nevertheless, the clan is powerful in terms of political and military terms. But they remained hidden and mostly neutral because one of the previous heads of the Kaedehara Clan said that, "The Four Noble Clans are more than enough to assist the Emperor on his rule."
Until, the reign of the Tokugawas, when the Emperor was reduced to a figurehead, the Kaedeharas still remain powerful and in fact, proved to be one of the strongest samurai clans during the Sengoku Period.
At the beginning of the Meiji Era, Akito's grandfather decided that their clan will be just an ordinary clan but their swordsmanship will be passed down. The clan began to make name in the fields of medicine, education, and even took part in the industrial revolution in Japan.
Now, at the estate, on top of a branch of a tree, there is a young man with platinum blonde hair, and with a streak of orange-red on his right. His eyes are red in color.
He wears a gray kimono, a black haori with flowy orange slevees decorated with orange and red maple leaves. Wearing a black and red scarf, which is where an ornamental symbol of his clan is attached. He is wearing red hakama pants, and black sandals with red socks.
The young man named Akito, is currently meditating.......
Honing his sense of smell and hearing, and his special ability to understand the wind.
When a gust of wind past by, he opened his eyes as he muttered.
Akito: *sigh*
Akito: Another girl for a marriage interview.......
Akito: I know Father is worried about my future.
Akito: But........
Akito: Maybe I should get to know the world first......
Akito: Not to mention, the wind that just past by........
Akito: A wind of malice.
Akito: I'd better put a stop to this marriage interview at once, but I need to investigate.
Akito slowly balanced himself on the branch of the tree and begins to pinpoint the direction from where the ill wind came from.
Until.......he sniffed out paper and ink.
Akito: Paper and ink........a letter.....I don't smell leather if there is the scent of leather then it is a book.......
Akito: A letter, huh? What could that letter be?
Akito used his inhuman agility to locate the letter and interrogate the receiver, he arrived at the veranda of the estate and saw two men holding the piece of paper.
