The Samurai RP Thread

Junichi dismounted, and seeing the Lady, though he was her equal, bowed deeply as a sign of respect, figuring that the last thing she wanted to see was a fifty-one year old with blood stained robes.

Kuro-u motioned for the scout to leave them and waited a moment, "You are unknown here sir...may I enquire as to why you enter Shinzi territory?"

"I am Junichi Ito, leader of the honorable Ito clan. I have heard that the Utenzaki army is encamping here, and I wish to speak to their leader, Lord Nakamura Utenzaki."

Kuro-u nodded, "You are well informed Lord Ito...however Lord Uzentaki is currently taking part in an audience with our ruling council and as such is unable to be reached at this time."

"Ah, very well, do you know how long he will be?"

jiang stepped put side and saw another man in a blood soaked robe "Humph aren't we the lucky clan first Lord Uzentaki and now Lord Ito" he looked at the man who seemed to be badly hurt, turning to Lady Kuro-u he asked "Lady Kuro-u shall I get some one to see to his wounds?".

"No, it is the blood of others, though if I may purchase a kimono in better condition it would be greatly appreciated."

Kuro-u shook her head, "No, go back to the council's hall and oversee the proceedings there...once the council have made a descision report to me." She then turned back to Lord Ito, "My apologies for the interruption, I am uncertain of the length of the audience however I offer you a place to rest and redress while you wait."

"Yes M'lady" Jiang said bowing to Kuro-u and he walked back to the council hall watching as they talked to Lord Nakamura Utenzaki

that man must of been in a great battle to have that much blood from the enemy on his robes he thought to himself

"My apologies, my Lady, for I believe I am the interruption and am thankful for your kindness, now if you may show me the place...and by the way what is your name?"

"I am known as Kuro-u...I am one of the resident warriors and teachers of this region. Now please...follow me, it seems you are in luck...my last student was a rouge and left several of his kimono behind, they may well fit you." Kuro-u began to move off toward her home.

Junichi followed her.

Moving swiftly and soundlessly, it was less than 5 minutes of travel before the two arrived at Kuro-u's home. Opening the main door she removed her shoes and placed them on the rack near the door, waiting and allowing Lord Ito to do the same.

Lord Ito quickly did the same.

Smiling ever so slightly, Kuro-u continued toward a room that had been vacant for almost a year. Opening the sliding door, she entered and made straight for the inbuilt wardrobe. Pulling open one of the doors by its handle she stood to the side, "The kimono he left are still clean, I hope atleast one fits you Lord Ito...once you have refreshed your appearance just call for me, I shall be waiting in the next room."
She inclined her head and slowly made her way from the room.

Junichi, being a leader, picked the finest kimono, though as it was one of a student, it wasn't silk, but it was clean, trim, and colored a vibrant blue. "Lady Kuro-u, I am done, and thank you again for your hospitality." Lord Ito bowed as he said this, not as deeply as when he had first seen her, but still somewhat deep for realizing that, while she might not mind as much, the council may not take kindly to have representatives of two clans in their village, and he hoped they wouldn't give her a hard time for letting him into it.

Kuro-u slid the door open a little and smiled a little, "I apologise for the fabric...if I had a silk kimono spare for your size I would have offered it. But as you can understand you'd not look fitting in one of mine?"

Jiang Tai stood tall and proud over looking what the council were to tell Lord Nakamura Utenzaki, he studied the council as part of his training, if he was to become a great Strategist he would be placed on the council.

((Are you still doing th council bit or shall i just skip on past it))

((We're waiting on Nakamura to reply to the council's proposal for the stay...))

"No, it is fine, Lady Kuro-u, any kimono is better than the one I was wearing before..." Junichi laughed cynically and wondered when he'd be able to speak to Lord Utenzaki...
