Hitaro smiled at her as she told her peace. "Well, I wish you the best of luck young child, here...." She said getting out of the bath, her body dripping wet but she didn't mind too much. Reaching into her dry effects she pulled out her purse. Handing the girl A few silver yen, hoping to help her out in her endeavor to be free. "May you have a guarded and trusted day young one, and If you need me again-just look me up- I am demoness Hitaro of the kitsune clan, remember that because it could one day save your life..." She said before she turned her back to the girl, and downed her tea, before she started drying off. She felt for the child but she was a demon regardless. ------ Hay sent the letter off in the air with his own pet falcon, Ina. He had her since he was very young and it was his loyal friend. He gave him the coordinates and sent him off, knowing he would arrive promptly before the morning. He just hoped that he was accepted.

Sayuri blinked when the coins landed in her hands. She had never worked like this a day in her life and yet here she actually made her first wage. She grinned, her expression bright with care, when only seconds ago she was fearful of the Kitsune woman. "Arigato Kit-I mean-Hitaro-San." She said with a bow, as her family taught her to always do. "I will not forget this kindness." She added before she hear a bell ringing not too far off. She straightened and looked worriedly at the door. "Um-ah-enjoy your stay." She darted from the room and hurried back to find everyone around her in a fit of movement. One of the men, another Tengu, instantly handed her a mop and a bucket and instantly shoved her in the direction of a bath. She guessed he wanted her to clean but she couldn't be too sure. Sayuri looked at the sludgy bath and instantly gagged. But Kokoro's voice in the distance reminded her that she had to get to work quickly. ---- Katsuo stared at the large, colorful building, his silvery eyes dilating at the sun light that shone upon the building and the fact the bathhouse was calming down. Most demons preferred to travel at night, resting in darker reaches during the day. Kitsune were better at seeing in the dark, due to their predatorily instincts. Well except for Katsuo. Katsuo's eyes were quite up to par with the whole night vision thing. Due to the fact, he slept very little, even when he was younger. As the one in the family with the most foul treatment directed toward you, you learned to sleep with one eye open. He couldn't sleep he was so paranoid, and rightfully so, so he chose to get very little of it. So then why was it he was drawn to this resting place? Well for starters, he could sense the powerful demonic aura. Second of all, he smelled the faint trail of blood end here. Not just any blood, the Shinoshi's. He could sense it over the aromas that burned his nose that his target traveled this way. She was weak, clumsy, and fading fast. An easy catch in other words. The problem was however, why would child head into a nest of demons? He was lucky if she was still alive. His ears pricked, standing upright as he listened for any indication this place might be closed. He could hear movement and things happening in the building, so he assumed this business was still operational. Meaning he would have to be social....Goodie. He walked in through the entrance and found the interior to be busier than he thought. Demons were leaving and the workers of this place were hurrying to clean and see guests off. Katsuo cursed under his breath at the sight, since it was hard to pinpoint the human girl in all this commotion. "Kitsune-sama, we are currently closing for the day." Katsuo's eyes flicked to a panda, who was looking at Ichiro with his large black eyes. "I'm simply looking.." The panda gave a low bow. "Kitsune-sama, please leave. Kokoro-San doesn't like people to disobey her rules." Katsuo gave the panda a narrow of his eyes. "Oh really? Then let me speak with Kokoro." The panda's ears went back and he looked genuinely pissed. "Do not speak of her in that familiar manner, Fox. Kokoro is my master and shall be addresses in her title." Katsuo's own ears went back and his tail bristled a little at the challenge. "What are you going to do about it tubby?" The panda looked ready to lunge at Katsuo, but a snap that rang over the room made him quickly stop. Katsuo glanced over and saw Kokoro walking into the room looking annoyed. "Ah Kokoro, long time no see." Katsuo chuckled and Kokoro gave him a piercing look. "You are not welcome here, Katsuo. I don't want my customers to get fleas." Katsuo flinched as if injured by her words, but his smirk showed he wasn't taking her seriously. "Ouch, Kokoro-nii, didn't you miss me? After all it really has been a long time since I've visited." "Hm yes, I remember your visit quite well." She growled, as she folded aprons that were left on the counter. "I do remember you were trying to put a knife through my back for the humans in a village that I often fed from...right?" Katsuo gave her a small cock of his head. "Well," He stepped forward, close to Kokoro's back, his lips at her ear, "I let the contract on your life slide didn't I?" She whirled around, her feather's ruffled in anger. "Yes, after I offered you a great sum in reassurance you wouldn't harm me." She felt nervous however when she saw his humor wasn't gone from his features. "Hm, but the offer still stands for your head Kokoro." He raised a brow at her worried look. "and I hear the humans have added a higher bounty, more so than your counter-payment..." Kokoro glared at Katsuo, her red eyes wide but angry all the same. "You bastard. Working with human's no less..." She sneered and Katsuo moved away from her with a shrug. "You do what you can to survive Kokoro. You know that." He glanced around the bath house before looking to Kokoro. "I have a favor. Something I'm willing to gamble against your bounty." Kokoro looked hopeful but then her face fell with skepticism. "What could you desire, Katsuo?" "I want a free stay here, just till night." Kokoro looked shocked at his request but the skepticism didn't leave her voice. "Alright...till night then. A bath too?" He gave a shrug. "Whatever you think. The only rule is, I get free roam, anywhere in this place." Kokoro gave him a shake of her head. "No deal. I can't have you pestering my staff and stealing from me." She paused when she saw his look become all too serious. She gulped and knew by his glare that he was seriously starting to consider killing her. "I ask you, Kokoro...what choice do you have to refuse me?" Her breath caught and for a moment she was silent. Suddenly, she whirled on her heels and headed to her room. "Fine. Toshda, see that he gets a room." She called over her shoulder to the panda. The panda looked less than happy to be serving Katsuo, but he bowed anyways, saying through gritted teeth, "Welcome to The Great Tengu Bathhouse, Kitsune-sama." ----- Sayuri looked down at the murky bath water, her mind whirling as a sudden panic came on. She didn't like water, little did many know. She just felt uneasy around it, like something about it might hurt her. She carefully moved round the bath, making sure her footing was sure as she moved into the murky pool to get to the bath plug. All the while she could feel her heart pounding and sense her fear rising. She was almost frantic in her searching for the plug, till her fingers connected with the string to the massive plug. She yanked and pulled at it, till finally it came loose. She darted for the side of the bath, getting out of the tub with pants of fear causing her to shake. She sat at the side of the bath, catching her breath as she watched the water drain away, just like the waterfall that nearly killed her. ------ Kaiya stared at herself, the reflection from the water of her bath. She saw a beautiful young girl with pale skin, long black hair, rosy lips, and warm cheeks. But her eyes stopped her when they met with the reflection of the water. Those eyes......a blue so bright they practically glowed, but so deep and hollow. Lifeless almost. They'd been that way ever since her accident. And yet....she woke up after days in the temple, alive after everyone thought she was dead...... She stared at her reflection, her hollow eyes reminding he just how wrong they were. She awoke very different from herself, with new gifts from the goddess. She could see the future and heal for some reason. Everyone was over joyed. She on the other hand felt something was very wrong... it was as if she was dead still, no real feeling or emotion left. She could go through the motions but....she still felt like an empty shell. The pain the thoughts brought made her hit the water to destroy her reflection. She didn't wish to look at those eyes again, not now or ever.

Ina landed in a garden by a large window tapping on the glass knowing some one would hear and open it to admit her. It was trick she had learned running letters about for Hay before. She kept her wing tucked in as she sat and tapped, it wasn't too hard but she was tired.
---------------------
Hay was gathering provisions for hit trip there as well as helping who was left fix some things before eh left, they knew he was loyal- to his fault but they didn't hate him for it, just Ichiro. He would smile at them and tanks them but turn around and have a blank face because he didn't really care. He was surviving, that was all that mattered. -------------------------------------------
Hitaro finished strapping on her small daggers and her gold pouch. She was feelign refreshed after that bath and had gotten the blood completely out, it felt nice to have a fresh clean coat. She was one of the last ones to leave, only when she got to the major bath she smelled the young girl over the putrid smelling water that was draining. She however felt hair rise on the back of her neck as another Kitsune was very near being lead by the panda in fact, who didn't look to happy about it. "K, hey long time no see stranger..." She grinned her pretty toothed smile as she looked at him, her tail and back to the doors that lead to the public main bath- not for personal uses. She nodded to the panda with a smile," Good evening sir." She said tot he panda, glad of the bath he provided her. "Why are you here? This house is closing for the evening..." She eyes the kitsune with slight playful suspicion like when they had been children on this time it was apparent it was placed in a kidding sort of way.

As they traveled down the halls, Katsuo waslooking for any trace of the human in the door ways that were open. His nose twitched a little as a familiar scent came to him and he looked ahead of him. His ears actually pricked in surprise and his eyebrows rose a bit too. It was Hitaro, a face he hadn't seen since his days back home. She was one of the more privledged of the clan, even became advisor to the clan head, so it wasn't common for her kind to affiliate with hs kind. However, she was always cordial to him, playful and close. It even brought a crooked smile to his face when he saw that teasing look she had, similar to when she was a child. "It's been a very long time Hitaro-chan." He said, noticing she looked refreshed from whatever she'd been up to here. "Sadly I'm here on buisness not pleasure. It's another contract that seems to be a bit trickier than I anticipated." His eyes flitted to a ahll that wasn't far off, his ears twitching when he heard a rapid breathing, almost like a small rabbit when it was being chased. It peeked his curiousity but he didn't really feel like checking it out just yet.

She smiled at the actual surprise on his face. "Well then I wish you some luck. But not too much or things will be too easy.Have a good day K-Chan." She nodded a good bye to him them left past him threw the large great doors out side into the fresh air. When went back to where the tribe laid residence and looked about her chambers graced with lots of red silk and gold things. It was pretty-the way she liked it. A letter was on her table by her door requesting her attention when she returned for it. It was from her lower Kitsune friend advising her to see the Leader because of his recent issues with Ichiro the human. She thought about it then sighed, knowing she would have to address the leader about it eventually because she didn't understand what killing a hive of humans was going for them besides lining their pockets with gold. Throwing the letting in the fire she watched it burn then dressing up a bit more proper for the leaders company she added both her daggers on her hits, and left to the leaders courtly chambers. Knocking on the frame he announced herself and waited to be let in.

Katsuo watched Hitaro leave giving his head a shake. She was always a force to be refined with, despite her feminine aPpearance. It was not a good idea to ever think little of her. "Kitsune-Sama, a room for you." His eyes were drawn back to the panda who still looked annoyed as hell. He gave the room a once over look, knowing it was a place reserved for a visiting dignitary just by the smell of the lack of use. He knew Kokoro loved entertaining guests, though he was hardly the guest she wanted. "Thanks big guy, I think I'm going to look around." The panda gave him a look and growled something unintelligible before he lumbered off. Katsuo walked down the hall his eyes and nose working double time to find this girl. He wanted out of here and to his cash prize so he could finally be done with Ichiro. ------ Ryuka walked along the walkway past Hime's room. He was told by her adivisors that he was to be by her side at all times. They all were all freaked out that she would be harmed after the breach of security a quite a few years ago that resulted in Hime running away. Ryuka wasn't with her then and didn't know why Hime would have left. She never talked about it and refused to even hear mention of it. He shook his head, trying to ignore the unease the thought brought. He just wanted to ignore that unease since he knew he could protect her. He heard the tapping on the window and quickly glanced over at it. He saw a falcon there and he quickly raised a brow at it. He opened the window and looked down at the birds foot. "Well well, a message." He plucked the paper from the bird but thought a moment before looking at it. This could be a classified message for the generals, not that he wasn't an important man but he could be in trouble for seeing something he shouldnt. However, this bird would have flown to a general, not some random window. Besides, it didn't have the Ukiyo crest painted on its feathers. He opened the note and read it, his eyes widdening as a vision pass by his eyes.
It was an image of a battlefield of people dying and blood everywhere. He had the sensation of burning in his hand as if fire were there. He was being attacked by someone but he quickly took them down with a bluish flame, one that literally made them crumple in pain. He took a step back and was about to finish the suffering man when he was suddenly attacked from behind. He doubled over, bleeding from the stab wound in his side but suddenly his attacker fell, he looked back to see a face of a man there, offering him a hand up.
Ryuka withdrew from his dream like state and found himself still in the hallway, holding that letter, not on a battlefield somewhere. The name...Hay was it?.....That was definitely the man from his image, a memory brought on by his name. Ryuka didn't exactly remember him, but he got the sense he could trust him for some reason, like he respected him in a way. If he wanted a job, Ryuka could help him. He nodded to himself, knowing his reply, but he would have to speak with Hime first.... --------- The leader of the Kitsune clan was discussing something with one of his warriors when Hitaro knocked and instantly he looked up, a proud smile on his face. "Ah Hitora, welcome" he motioned her over to the throne, the warrior in the room with him bowing when Hitaro entered. "Alot has changed in one nightfall has it not...I suspect you have concerns?" He said as he offered her a seat at his table.

She entered and nodded back to the warrior. "Yes, thanks you clan leader...Indeed, there has been a rather large flux in the power, however I am only concerned with what we will be playing in this..." She said in a serious yet playful tone as he took her seat at his right hand, as his trusted adviser. Taking a deep breath she poured herself a cup of tea and then offered another cup to him, knowing he loved his tea- but what demon didn't?
-------------------
Ina took a small leap and landed on the man's shoulder in which had the been reading the letter, knowing she would be settled with another soon. Hay smiled as he thanked the kitchen staff-well those who were left- for gathering his provisions for his coming trip, though no one knew where he was going as of yet. He did, the Kitsune did, and Ichiro did. Thats all it took to survive, however hew as curious what his friend was going to think of this- she always found interest in his activities.

The Kitsune leader took the tea with a small thanks as he brought the cup to his lips. He trusted Hitaro with his life and thus she hadnt steered him wrong yet. But this time he trusted his own sense, knowing she might be conflicting in the idea. "Our interests are well invested," He said as he placed the cup down, "I know our kind stays out of petty human affairs...but this has gone much deeper." He looked over at the warrior and barked an order for him to leave. "Yes Lord Tomohi." The warrior left and Tomo looked back to Hitaro, his ears pointing in enthusiasm for his idea. "See," He said as he eased back in his chair, his hands folded in contemplation, "This has become something much more than just a family fued." He looked to Hitaro then, a sneaky little smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "This war has shifted out of these families hands. Ukiyo and Shinoshi, all humans are the same to those Goddesses they worship...The war is between these Goddesses...Though blind in many other aspects, the child Ichiro has seen some light in that commodity. He wants to trn the tides against their Goddesses. He believes he can destroy the Goddesses." He chuckled at the last bit before he shook his head. "He's a fool, a blood thirsty fool though. He wi drive the Shinoshi to ruin But not without taking the Ukiyo with down with them." He raised a brow at her. "You know as well as I that this could mean prosperity for us. Imagine a land, war torn and completely for the taking. Goddesses be damned. We will control these mortals, sister Hitaro, and there will be no one there to say otherwise." He motioned to her. "Sound interesting enough? I want to hear your opinions Hitaro." ----------- Ryuka knocked lightly on Kaiya's door, his ears carefully listening for any sounds of life in the room. It was silent for a moment, making him feel a bit of unease. "Kaiya-Hime, I'm sorry to disturb you but-" "Ah Ryuka, please come in." He slid open the screen, his eyes falling on the room that Kaiya stayed in. Her room was large and spacious but with an open floor so all could be seen. Her advisors made it that way to ensure she could always be found and protected. But they still spared her no luxury. She was given silks of pinks and beautiful wood furniture filled with clothes and jewelry. She had dolls, tea sets, lovely painted screens and lanterns...but none of it seemed to really fit her. No, Kaiya was much simpler than all these trinkets, though she accepted them all. She just didn't respond to them, not like most women should. Kaiya proved such as she came out of her bathing quarters in a silk robe, her hair cascading down to her waist. She looked happy to see Ryuka, but at the same time nervous. Ryuka notciced the state of Kaiya's dress was not exactly proper for any man to be looking at and he eased into a bow, a way of respectfully shielding his eyes. "Ryuka-kun, you dont need to be so proper...I trust you." Her words were soft and truthful but Ryuka didn't look up. He always followed the rules when it came to Kaiya. "Kaiya-Hime, I have news I wish to share with you." He heard Kaiya huff and the sound of her landing on her plush futon went through the room. "Ryuka, you know you may say anything you wish...though if it is news from my advisors, I think it can wait." Ryuka smirked at the slight annoyance in her voice but he kept his humor from his voice. "Kaiya, I have received word from an old friend..." Kaiya gasped and Ryuka could picture her face lighting up. "An old friend? Ryuka you remember something?" He nodded but diet ease from his story or bow. "He is an ally of war...who has fallen into hardships with his family." Ryuka heard Kaiya give a noise of concerned agreement. "Oh my, Is it aid he seeks? What family troubles ail him?" Ryuka swallowed hard. "It is trouble from a hostile take over Kaiya-Hime...the overthrow of the Shinoshi clan head." the room was silent and Ryuka sensed the intensity in the air at the mention of the family name. "Ah....he's Shinoshi." Ryuka knew this would cause a problem but he felt Hime mus. know that much before she gave her decision. "He seeks work away from his home land which is currently burdened...he asked me if I might assist him..." Again, Hime was silent allowing him to continue with his request. "Kaiya, may he come to work for the Ukiyo?" There was a breath of a moment when he was sure she was thinking hard about the situation, but he was sure she would refuse. Instead she surprised him by saying, "do you trust him, Ryuka?" Ryuka nodded. "I trust him Kaiya-" "Look me in the eyes and say it." Ryuka looked up slowly, his garnet colored eyes finding her blue ones. "I trust him." He said point blank, letting the words hang for a moment. Kaiya bit her lip before she gave him a slight nod. "Tell him he may have counsel with my advisors, it is up to them if he is hired." Ryuka nodded and took his leave instantly going to write his response. He hadn't written in a log time so his hand wasnt perfect but he got the message out and sent away with the falcon. Hay would be allowed to have interview through the family to see what job he'd be allowed in their territory. It was as much as he could do for him at this time...

She listened to him as he told her his views of things and nodded as she saw where he was coming from. However she did object a bit to pushing the humans' so far as tho this. A smile came over her pretty smooth features as she looked at the older Kistune," Tomo-chan...If things go as you have planned out may I still keep my friend perhaps as a pet?He is trust worthy- I trust no other human..." She smirked making a joke more or less with the old cat. "As for this war will we be forced to loose our clan 's men and daughters' lives over a silly human's war? Goddesses are just as savage as we are in our nastiest of times...If you do not remember the gods' war of the past?" She looked at the older Kitsune with some optimism as she smiled at him. ------------------
Hay waited in his chambers near the outer wall till about first light when Ina came back and chirped a tired chirp to him as it landed on his braced arm. He opened the letter and read it, it was sloppy however not what h had expected from his old friend who used to have very precise and neat writing but ti was his seal. He sighed and tucked the letter away in his breast pocket and placed Ina on his shoulder to sleep, placing her cap on to keep her calm and to help her sleep and from getting distracted.
He left then, leaving a note that he sent to the young new lord Ichiro that he had confirmation and was leaving. He didn't tell him any contacts names or anything else just that he was leaving to the destination point. He was more than confident that he could get in- he was a brave soldier with many talents.

Tomo was glad Hitaro kept her ideas in line, though he was curious about the human comment, not enough so to worry over it. "Yes yes, keep any of them you like. Once we have the little humans within our grasps all will certainly cater to our choosing." He gave a look towards the door, however his golden eyes were distant. "As far as loss, we will be in this for our own benefit. The clan comes first in all. Its how we have survived so long. As I've made it clear, I'm waiting to see exactly what they are capable of. If Ichiro really can create a war like those of the past....then we shall make the necessary sacrifices to see our interests gained." He gave a heavy breath and looked to the steam that rose above the tea. "Our clan will eventually wither, Hitaro. You are strong enough to carry the burdens of the clan long after I have gone.....but change is coming. The traditions of the old days are dying with the time...we can either mold ourselves with the hangs or be consumed by it." His white hair fell into his eyes as he shook his head. "This seems like a chance to see the clan prosper...am I wrong? I trust you to tell me the truth. Im almost hitting my fourth decade. This just might be the rumblings of an old fool." He laughed though there was a bitterness to his voice. He looked young, infact he looked no older than maybe his early 30's, his hair still a powdery white and tail of pure fox fire looking ever as dangerous. However he felt the years weigh heavily upon him. A demo could live for hundreds of years, but their bodies became more brittle with age. They were powerful still, however they felt tired, exhausted from life. Tomo had seen many moons, many People, eras, and change that had affected all of them. He feared this change. More so with each passing day. ---- Sayuri lay exhausted, her being aching front the labor she endured. Her entire spirit felt drained, like there was nothing left to make her get up. She just wanted to lay their and rest....however Kokoro wouldn't allow it. She clapped and rang bells, screeched at her employees to clean and shine the bath house. She had never worked so hard in her life....but she did so to live. Without the money for her work she wouldn't be able to leave this place, so work she would till every last bit of energy was stripped from her body. ----- Ichiro awoke in a cold sweat, his eyes wide in the darkness of his room. Everything was silent, completely silent, except for the diving in his ears of screams of pain and torment from his dreams. He wast guilty at all about the source of his dreams, his fathers murder at his hands. Infact he felt so content he should have slept well. However those voices wouldn't let him sleep. Those screams would keep him awake till day break, till the sun would come up and the real plan could begin.

Hitaro breathed deep when she was asked to give her honest opinion. "I think that with your wisdom and my strength we can make anything come about with in our clan. I have faith in you and trust and you know you have my undying loyalty Tomo-chan. I personally am willing to embrace this change however I also fear with with much advised council from those about me. A change is good, however too much of a good thing can be bad..." She said in a soft voice as she sipped her tea thought she smiled at Tomo reassuringly threw most of it knowing she had complete confidence in the old one that it was shocking to most to even think that. "Now Dear Tomo-chan I think you need some rest. You are tired. I will finish any minor clan business you have left about... Now rest easy." She urged him to rest knowing he was old and tired now. --------------
Hay hitched a ride with a merchant cart who was traveling there with in the day, so he traveled quickly and did some quietly, not letting the man know much about him that was true if at all. When he found his way to the enterence the sun was high in the sky and he was a bit tired, however Ina was wide awake and watching his surroundings for enemies, like always.

Tomo gave Hitaro a small smile of her talk of change and it's affects. "You're wise beyond your years." He said before he rose, his eyes closing for a moment to take in the real sense of his option. "please, do your best to watch over everyone." He said before leaving to his chambers for rest. All the while he wondered just what was going to happen to his people. He had no choice really in all of this. The Gods would be brought into this soon enough, and he hardly wanted to roll over and take the punches. He wanted to fight, bring pride to his clan...but the reality was he wasn't sure if they could take such an attack...they were corned, much like the mortals in this situation. ---- The Ukiyo main province was a large open town with nothing around for miles, except for the surrounding large wall that was made of towering rock. This wall was only part of their security. The Ukiyo were known for their precautions and engineering to ensure the security of their people. Their military was massive, their weapons carefully cultivated, and their strategies refined to fit their abilities. Their enemies knew that they faced a challenge when facing the Ukiyo, so most would not attemp to attack them head on like Ichiro had thought. When Hay arrived at the gate to their city, the trader transporting him was instantly questioned by two guards who were in charge of being the checkpoint into the city. One of the men looked to Hay, noticing he didn't look like a simple trader. "What is your business here?" The guard asked and the trader he was with was asked to explain his relation to Hay.

Hay looked at the man and smiled, "I am of no relation to this trader, he simply gave me a ride, I am here for an Inerview with the advisors of the UKiyo family. I have a letter for proof if you wish..." he said as he raises his cursed hand and with his normal hand got the letter extending it to the guard for inspection. Not waning to cause problems already would be a very bad omen. ---------- Hitaro smiled as Tomo-chan left and she moved to his chair in the great room and rang a bell to continue minor businesses. There were a few small disputes over items from the raid and a human slave, she collected the human and had I shipped back to where I came, she personally had nothing against human slaves, they were merely for entertainment to her but a few were worth keeping an eye on. She wrote a letter to hay and sent it oh on her personal feral fox, it had a golden coat and it was known as a carrier or messages, mostly for Kitsune family, only she gave it hay's sent and sent it off.

The guard looked over the note and looked a bit shocked when he saw Ryuka's signature. It was rare for there to ever be a written order from him, but when it did happen it was an order worth following. "Yes, welcome guest." The guard said with a bow of apology to Hay before he stood again straighter. "Please, follow me to the main house." He said as he walked towards the Ukiyo home. All a lot the way people went about their lives in market places and within their jobs. It was peaceful here, completely tranquil as if all worry were gone from this place. While for the Shinoshi at the moment it was darkness and pain, the Ukiyo went about life with no cares. He went to the main gate of the home but when questioned he quickly told the guard of Hay's business at the home. Instantly the guard allowed them in, but Hay was now followed by two more guards to a separate isolated waiting room. There stood a servant of the house hold, an older woman wearing a light blue and gold kimono. "Sorry sir but this is protocol for the family's safety. You will be monitored till a representative can see you. Please enjoy some of the prepared food and drink we have for you." she said with a bow.

He followed silence and when he saw the older maid and he bowed to her," it is alright, I understand thank you for your hospitality." he said as he entered the room with the guards. He took a seat and sighed, I was nice to have a seat instead of on that wagon. He looked at the food and smiled, he took a peice of bread and took small bites of it and looked about the room. He already had all the enter few marked as well as possible exits. It was a very bad habit but his eyes never stopped moving about he room, though his head never moved.
