Takami stood there, she listened to what the man had to say and when he told her it was not her business, Takami became angry. She balled her hand into a fist, but that was when the monk came up to her, she turned and looked at him when he asked her if she was from the homeland. She took a long look at him and she realized that his speech was very similar to her own. She smiled and nodded, to think she would find someone from Japan in Bay City. She then turned to the priest with all of his followers around him.

She picked up her sword and slung it over her shoulder and said “You sir are not a religious leader, I see through your act, you are nothing but a criminal. I see it in those cold eyes of yours, those are the eyes of a true villain.” She turned and looked at the monk and said “please be careful, this man doesn’t seem like the understanding type.” That was when one of the man’s guards placed his hand on her shoulder to try and escort her away. She turned around and twisted the man’s hand and said “don’t touch me.” She let him go and walked off toward the monastery, she planned to wait for the monk there.

She walked to the door of the monastery and sat down, she placed her sword in her lap and sat there to meditate. As she sat there she thought about the Jester, she wondered if he was ok. After a while Takami was dead to the world, she heard nothing but the sound of herself inhaling and exhaling. A calm swept over her, a light breeze blew causing her hair to become a mess, but its not like that mattered to her at this moment. She was calm, this method of meditation had been taught to her by her father and whenever she did it she thought about that night. A tear inched its way down her face, and then she smiled when she thought about Kizashi, he had always been there for her. They used to have so much fun as kids he was like her best friend. That was why she was here, she knew her brother had been in Bay city, this was the only place where information about the Eternal Garden could be found.

Suddenly a chill ran down her back, it was quick and almost unnoticeable but she knew she had felt it. It was like something bad had happened. She wanted to head back home, but she wanted to stay here and wait for the monk. Maybe he knew her brother and maybe he knew the person her brother got information about the Eternal garden from or maybe he was the one who knew. Monks seemed to always know information about long lost secrets. She then shook the thoughts away, this was her time to meditate. She had to be completely still and her mind had to be clear. After a while she went back to her completely still state, the only feeling within her was that of her breathing.
