Chapter 11

I miss you Akiko. When you lived in your fathers house, not in Rokujo Avenue. They've changed you. My mind has also lately been on Takanobu's request for me to steal the sword. I am going to steal the sword Fukuji is giving to Muratani. I had to tell Muratani that the sword won't be ready for a month, and I had to tell Fukuji that Muratani will pick up the sword in a months time. This whole lying thing is kind of new to me. So then at night, I took the sword from the forge, and I headed towards the Street of Ox Dealers. (the place where Takanobu was to recieve the sword.) I left my sandals in the kitchen. How stupid I was! Now I had to deliver the sword barefooted.
