Kanaichi- Well your letter said you were going to become a demon.

Taichi- Then someone or something must have torn part of it off.

Kanuichi- When father read your letter, he said it looked like it had been torn.

Kanaichi- I wonder who would do that?

Taichi- What about Uncle Hebi? He never did like us or father.

Kanaichi- Your right! He did seem happy when you kanuichi left.

Back at the castle Uncle Hebi and Father were looking for Kanaichi, but they could not find her. They did not know that she had followed her brothers.

Father- Where could she have gone?

Uncle Hebi- Do you think she followed her brother?

Father- She might have, I will go and see if I can find her. Tell some men to make ready, we leave in the morning.

Uncle Hebi- Yes sir! That I will do!

With that he smiled and he was thinking about how he would be in charge of the castle.

Uncle Hebi- Get me Anaguma.

Anaguma was the best guard at the castle, and he was Uncle Hebi’s right hand man.

Anaguma- You called, sir?

Uncle Hebi- Yes, I want you to go with my brother and pick the soldiers you can trust.

Anaguma- Yes sir! What shall I do then?

Uncle Hebi- After about 3 or 4 weeks, kill him, and make it look like he was attacked by a demon.
