The Samurai RP Thread

- "Nothing out of the ordinary my lady. Are we to eexpect trouble in the village soon?" - Tomoko asked looking slightly worried.

"I hope not Tomoko, for all of our sakes." Kuro-u replied slowly as the food was bought in from the kitchen and set up around the low table, she ushered the young woman to enter, "Please Tomoko, come and join me for dinner."

- "Yes my lady" - Tomoko sat on the floor infront of Kuro-u.

- "I can't help but notice that you are worried my lady" - Tomoko said.

"I have every right to be worried as I am do I not?" Kuro-u replied questionly as she served Tomoko a bowl of rice and ushered for the student to dig in, "Our peacefull lands may soon be ravaged by a war that is not of our own...I fear more of the souls of those who are innocent rather than that of the warriors of our territory, they do not deserve to know such carnage."

- "Yes my lady" - Tomoko said as she took the bowl of rice and began eating. The Utenzaki were the cause of all the worries and she could sense this for a fact. After all the Utenzaki had a reputation of war hungry people mostly fighting to fit their leader's agenda.

Kuro-u paused and brushed her calloused hand over Tomoko's in assurance before beginning to eat herself. It had been almost 2 entire days since she'd eaten properly but even now she had less of an appetite. The thoughts of war weighed heavily on her mind.

"I must see lady kuro-u"She said getting up. She hung the sack on her back and walked towards her village. "I must bury my village now,"She said. "I will meet her promptly tomorrow morning,"She said arriving to the village. She saw dead children and bent down by them. She began to pray. She was interupted by a faint cry of a little girl. She walked silently towards the cry and saw a little girl crying and badly injured. Umi extended her hand out to the girl but she pressed herself against the wall. "Im here....i belong to this village,"She said calm and sweet. The little girl lifted her head and said,"Where's my mommy?" Umi did not want to upset her. She gently picked up the little girl. "what is your name,"Umi asked examining her wounds. "its Remi,"She said. umi walked out of the hut. "I need to take you somewhere to get those wounds healed,"Umi said walking out of the village into the woods. She walked towards the village where lady kuro-u lived. She arrived at the village. blood stained her clothes as she walked farther in the village.
"Does anyone know where Lady Kuro-u is?"she asked despretly. she looked at the girl. "Stay awake remi please,"She asked calm.

A young warrior walked toward Umi and the wounded girl, "If you are seeking Lady Kuro-u I can escort you to her home miss."

Umi smiled. "Thanks!"She said folowing the warrior. "please! Remi!"She thought seeing Remi closing her eyes. "Remi look at me don't go to sleep,"She said still calm. Remi opened her eyes. Umi had tears in her eyes.

The young warrior nodded and began to walk briskly to Kuro-u's home. Rapping on the main door he spoke with a servant who ushered Umi and the young girl in straight away, not bothering with formalities as Kuro-u had been alerted to their precense by her hand maiden and unceremoniously left the room leaving Tomoko to either follow her or finish her meal.
Recognising Umi instantly she ushered her servants to aid the ailing girl clasped in Umi's arms. Medical knowledge was far spread in the village and the girl would be fit and well in no time Kuro-u assured Umi as the girl was carried away.

Umi watched as they took her away. She smiled. "why did sj=he survive...she real young?"She asked. She sighed. She look at Lady Kuro-u. She bowed to her then lifted her head. "I give thanks to you lady Kuro-u,"She said.

Kuro-u shook her head slightly, smiling kindly down at Umi, "Come, you must attend to yourself now Umi, I will assign one of my maids to you so that you may bathe, eat and rest."

She folowed Lady Kuro-u. "How have you been Lady Kuro-u,"She asked.
"Everything alright?"She asked.

"The ride back from your village was more difficult than anticipated and as you can see from being out in our streets that we are on medium alert. I suppose I've just never been a fan of war...needless destruction and all..." Her voice trailed off as a young red haired maid appeared at her side, "Umi this is one of my junior maids Unoku...she will escort you to some quarters upstairs and see to your needs. I must return to my small audience with my associate. If you need me fetch Unoku and she will send for me." Kuro-u smiled and turned, leaving the two young women alone.

Jessie noded. She looked at unoku. "Im ready,"she said and smiled. "I havent got a chance to bathe,"She thought.

Unoku nodded deeply and ushered for Umi to follow her, walking but not so much so that the younger woman would not be able to follow. Making her way upstairs and to a small but cosy room.

(hehehe...i mixed me characters names up....lol)
Umi folowed her. "want to talk?"She asked. "Talking relaxes me alittle,"She said and smiled.

Unoku smiled, "I do not speak usually, I am not from this village Lady Kuro-u took me in frommy previous master who taught me to speak in the language of our Chinese bretherin." She slid the door open and offered to aid Umi indoors.

Umi accepted. "Oh,"She said. She smiled. "thanks,"She said.

Unoku smiled and bowed slightly before aiding Umi to undress and leading her gently into the adjoining room, running hot water from the bamboo pipes and into the large marble bath built into the thick flooring. Pouring a beautifully scented liquid from a small corked ceramic bottle into the warm water.
