A sing song voice could be heard coming from the hill that lead to the Phantasm Castle. In front of the castle stood a tall male with long black hair dressed head to toe in a white kimono, white hakama pants and white obi sash with matching tabi socks plus waraji. However the kimono was not pristine white as blood was coating the long sleeves. The mage was bent over as another man lay on the ground who was wiggling around in pain. Every single nail had been plucked from his fingers. Yami had a grip on his right right and was bending the fingers back slowly and painfully, starting at the thumb, "This little piggy went to market." A loud snap was heard followed by a scream. Beside Yami was another man in a suit who was grimacing at the sight, "Must we really do this here?" asked the man as he watched Yami do his work. The wind mage rolled his eyes as he began pulling back the index finger. "You called me here for a quest saying it was urgent. I was already in the middle of one say I had to draw my work here with me. You want my help let me finish my work first." Barked out the wind mage as he broke the man's index finger making him scream in pain. The man could have tried to run, if only his legs were bent at a wrong angle and his left arm dislocated with all his left fingers broken.

"Now are you going to tell me what I want?" asked Yami as he grabbed the right middle finger and began pulling back. "I'll tell you just please stop! For god's sake I'll tell you." shouted the man as tears and snot covered his face he was in agonising pain and just wanted it to stop. Yami stopped and leaned in listening as the man spilled his guts telling Yami what he wanted to know spilling every last detail. Yami stepped back removing a cloth and began to clean his hands from the blood. Once he was done he threw the cloth down at the man who was whimpering. The mage scowled and slashed his right hand through the air launching a blade of wind that cut deep into the man's stomach. Yami slashed his arm again launching multiple wind blades as he gutted the man. He turned to face his quest who was looking green, most likely due to the fact the dead man's intestines had spilled out over the ground.

"I will clean it up before I leave. Not tell me what it is you wanted." Commented the wind mage as he folded his arms over his chest. The man gulped and quickly began to explain, "Master Sirius is concerned that one of the mason's we have hired is spilling family secrets regarding the Phantasm's. As you should know the Phantasm's prefer to keep their family secrets well secret. We want you to take over as the acting assistant mason and find out who is spreading these secrets. Once you find the culprit report back to Master Sirius."

Yami listened to the man's words taking not of what he needed to do. The quest was simple, he didn't know why it was marked as being so urgent. With a shrug off his shoulders, Yami headed into the Phantasm castle, escorted by the man who was one of the butlers for the family inside. Yami looked around, memorising the lay out of the building as he was escorted towards where the masons were working away. He listened to the butler was he commented that one of the castle walls had been damaged in a store when a tree collapsed and fell through it. The tree had been removed and now the wall just needed fixing. Yami cared not for what the old butler had to say, long as he got paid. Though Yami was particularly annoyed at having been disturbed during his current quest for this job, there was nothing urgent about it, but the Phantasm's were a rich family and for now Yami would go along with what they wanted.

The wind mage arrived at the construction zone. Waving the butler off he began his approach, putting on his mask. Along the way to the zone he had stopped to strip of his kimono top and borrowed a clean shirt from the butler. Yami began to interact with the labour;s working alongside them and laughing as he got to know them. He would then begin to question them in an attempt to find the informant. While working he listened in on the conversation of the workers. He took note of everything filing it away. There was a lot of hearsay and rumours but one name was constantly mentioned.

Yami spoke to the labourer's to find out who the name belonged to, soon he was pointed in the right direction. Making his way over he began talking to the man eventually asking him about the leaking of family secrets. The man confessed without a care, laughing as he went back to work. Yami shrugged and went back to work, waiting for the lunch break. The moment it was time to break Yami walked off to find Sirius. Yami found the butler and had him escort him to the client. Walking into the man's study Yami found Sirius and explained everything including the man and his identity. With the quest over Yami retrieved his money saying his goodbyes and walked out to the front door after changing into his bloodied kimono top and turning the borrowed shirt. On the way Yami grabbed the corpses and dragged it away. Yami used the back allys to make his way to the docks, making sure he wasn't seen or followed.

Arriving at the docks Yami snuck behind a warehouse and towards dock eight. Yami looked around making sure no one was around before kicking the corpse into the water with his right foot. Once the corpse hit the water it sunk below. Yami dusted his hands off and left heading back towards the guild for a cold beer and some rest.
