(That's awesome! I personally can read Hiragana and Katakana but have very little knowledge about Kanji other than love/ai. I've been trying to teach myself)
"Very well." Junichi mewed as he bowed his head. He didn't particularly mind the shecat on Sakuraclan territory, it wouldn't have been wise to pick a fight with the leader of another clan anyway. He spotted the marked tree that Oichi had been looking at. "That tree...is that important to you?"

Tsuki nodded. "Good, we have a good chance of taking down the Oda for good. Our cars will not be safe until the threat is diminished." The commander spoke with certainty and boldness.
Hikari shifted nervously and gave Tsuki a quizzical glance. "How will we defeat them?"
Tsuki sighed. "That, I will figure out with our lady. Keep your voice down, they'll hear you!" She whispered fiercely.

( Hello, I'm new to the role play but am uncertain where or when to join in, so I'll just place this here;; )
As I've explained to Dark, you'll want to look at the main plot on the front for a recap. But in short, Lord Nobunaga, SakuraClan's enemy, has suddenly crashed their party and made a "deal" with Akiko. She's got a trick up her sleeve, though; rebellion. The cats are just chatting about it atm, the apprentices want to train, and the others are just doing whatever they usually do. ) |

"Even I can't think of anything. Akiko-sama must have a plan..." Takeshi flattened his ears. After a long and awkward silence, he spoke, his voice sounding increasingly worried for the stoic cat that he was. "Forgive me for such disloyal words, but I cannot shake the feeling that...that our lady is slowly drifting away from us. She doesn't seem very lucid. It's almost as if she's...unstable." He choked out the word 'unstable' in an almost hurt manner.Stormheart
Oichi nodded. "Yes. That's where I got married to Lord Nagamasa," she explained. "We were originally married in order to form peace with the Oda family. But Lord Nagamasa said that my older brother, Lord Nobunaga, had no place to rule the land. I couldn't bring myself to believe that he was a tyrant, but at the same time, I could..." She paused before continuing. "My lord told me to wait at home, so I did. We broke our alliance with the Oda at the Battle of Anegawa, and when I ran off to check on the battlefield...my lord was dead. We buried him here, and then I moved..." She suddenly stopped, blinking her mismatched eyes.
"Oh, goodness, I'm rambling... My apologies, Junichi." She gave him a quick bow. "I suppose I just needed to vent my feelings."✽Boop✽ ( Ah, really? I'm taking JPN 2 in school. :3 )
The large tom nodded, his eyes unreadable. "We need to get out of this soon," he mused aloud, subconsciously pressing his muzzle to Ikusei's. Looking down at his kneading son, he smiled lovingly. "But you're right, dear; we have a future ahead of us, and the future is what matters now. The future of our Clan, our cats... And our strong little fighter. I'm certain you'll do great." His muscles were sore from all the work he'd been doing over the past few days, and he gave them a satisfying stretch. Turning over to Ikusei, he asked, "Do you need anything...?"Darktalon

Junichi almost gasped in surprise. Lord Nobunaga's sister?! Suddenly he remembered. Didn't Nobunaga mention that he'd had a battle with the Azai clan before coming to Sakuraclan? He gazed at the shecat with worry. There must be so much pain behind those mismatched eyes. "Please, it's no problem." he said to Oichi. He decided that the Lady could be trusted with the current news from Sakuraclan. "Lord Nobunaga arrived at our camp this morning. It appears we have no choice but to let him stay awhile." He shifted his paws uncomfortably.
(That sounds fun! We don't have Japanese classes here, but that's okay because this way there's no time limit to learn it)

Nonplussed by the premier’s farouche glower, scapulae straightened in an ennobling fashion; cranium upheaving with exquisite poise. Plumed caudal coiled about paws, almost like an ophidian whose form had become rotund after a hearty repast.
Gander evinced nil but a somewhat phlegmatic demeanor - otherwise it was inscrutable, as was quintessential for the svelte molly.
“Let us begin with a simple question: over the past few days, how have you felt? Any mood swings, dark thoughts, a sudden ill feeling - dizziness, headaches - or anything within those categories?” |

The daimyo blinked, eyes transgressing back to her respective forepaws. The female was silent for a few prolonged moments, her chest heaving as she let out a sigh. Ultimately, her labials parted to form words. "Here and now..." she began, "I have a slight headache. I almost had a migraine last night. I suppose... I have had dark thoughts lately. Although the nightmares have...have lessened, they are...terrifiying. I have tried to avoid them as much as possible, usually by avoiding deep sleep."
She frowned. "I have grown a bit more prone to tiring out. And sometimes I get headaches when I think too much, or worry excessively."

The she-cat gaped at him, placing a delicate paw over her mouth. "Oh, my. I can imagine how surprising that must've been..." Her expression changed to worry. "I pray that he does not do anything...drastic. Hopefully it is only a pact of peace." She did not sound angry or disappointed in her brother; in fact, she sounded a bit exasperated, like someone watching their sibling do something foolish. Truthfully, Oichi was not as close to Nobunaga as she was when she was married.
Oh, but if only she knew who truly killed Lord Nagamasa... What would she think then? |

"Hopefully." Junichi agreed with a grim expression on his face. "His reputation isn't exactly favorable though. He demanded that we share our resources." Junichi felt a bit awkward discussing Lord Nobunaga with Oichi, recently widowed by his clan or maybe even Nobunaga himself. Perhaps he should change the subject. "Well, it's a lovely morning at least."

"I see... I suppose I can agree," she said, shuffling her paws. "He was so sweet as a kitten, though." Looking away, she stopped talking. Indeed, the discomfort was lingering in the air, and although Oichi wasn't uneasy talking about her brother, she could tell that Junichi wanted to drop the subject. At his comment on the weather, she looked up to the skies. The sky was turning colors of pink and orange, although large clouds loomed overhead. "Yes. It looks as if it might rain later on, though."✽Boop✽
Daisuke let out an amused chuckle, rasping a tongue over her cheek. "I miss spending time with you, dear," he purred. "I'll probably be spending more time checking in here... Heh. Since I'm kind of a busybody now." A deep, loving purr rose in his throat; the mere feeling of being here alone with his mate and newborn son took away his anxiety completely. His eyes fell from Ikusei to Seizonsha. He had his father's robust build and his mother's white fur. Although his eyes were barely open yet, he was a strong-looking one. Oh, if only he could stay here forever...

How fitting. Junichi thought, looking up at the rain clouds Oichi mentioned. The weather seemed to be playing out a perfect metaphor for his fears, as if the clouds were laughing at SakuraClan's situation. "I believe you're right, Oichi-sama." he said to the shecat. "Rain is coming." Though as he watched the clouds in the colorful sky, he felt a strange sense of calm. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to watch the sunrise with this stranger from another clan, in such a peaceful place.

[ Izumi | Daimyo’s Temple | Tags - - Akiko, Tarou ]
Downturned orbs, akin to that of an aquamarine empyrean following an afternoon squall, showcased no intention at interposing the premier’s wellness disquisition superseding the monosyllabic, though bona fide queries articulated by the Japanese sept’s physician. Substituting interjecting with revered quietude, the molly merely stared ahead phlegmatically, gander fixated solely on Akiko and how both uppermost and lowermost labials parted to give way to speech.
When ultimately the questions had been dealt with - the conclusion being officially adjourned by a quick nod on the healer’s part - the feminine answered with yet another onset of divergent inquiries, all concerning the material offered.
“And when you have headaches, how do you deal with them? For as far as I can tell, I have no recollection of you coming for herbs. Of which begs the question, what does a typical nightmare consist of? And these ‘dark thoughts’ of yours? Do they affect daily activities, or is it only present when you are alone?”
Purposely omitting the part apropos fatigue, the grimalkin thought it better to continue on that topic another time; far more concerned - though, as typical, not revealing it - over these sleep-induced nightmares.

The Oriental feminine averted her gaze away from the physician, brows compressing as if in deep, musing thought. "I sleep them off," the sovereign replied straightforwardly, although outwardly, her mien seemed slightly dubious to answer the medical queries her chiryoushi was interrogating to her. "That's why I have not come for herbs. I believe that rest is something that can heal." Her statement sounded a bit guilty, in virtue of the verity that she had been idle as of late. Not indolent, no, just... inactive. "My nightmares? They, um... They..." She trailed off, attempting to compose herself by breathing in a deep inspire. The scent of candle wax and incense flooded her nose. "They tie in with my thoughts; which I try my best to keep under control during the day. But...usually they come out when I am alone."
Ears flattening, she continued. "I see... I see a lot of black, and red. There are cats in my dreams, but... they look more like demons. Laughing, taunting. There are thorns and spines piercing me all over. On occasion, I see a striped cat with a gaping wound in his throat, and that red flows everywhere, a-and...""My lady! You're shaking...""Ah?" Akiko snapped out of her mantra with a slight jolt, her fur on end. "I am...?" Looking down, she noticed that her forepaws were indeed trembling slightly. Squeezing her palpebra shut, she let out a sigh. She despised sounding so vulnerable in front of her cats. Tarou continued, squinting at her in deep concentration. "I can't... I can't really see your aura, but it looks like a... bright red?" He shook his head; having to concentrate to see others' auras made him a bit nebulous afterwards. "It is not dangerous, but be that as it may, it is a sign of great emotional turmoil."ᔕɿɱƿՆעᗰעς੮ע

"I'm...not sure." Junichi said. That's right, the festival was supposed to be today. But he wasn't sure what SakuraClan would do about it now, with Lord Nobunaga. He supposed it was up to Lady Akiko. "The clan is pretty shocked at the moment. I wonder if anyone even remembers. I had certainly forgotten."

Tsuki softened. "I'm sorry Hikari-San. Everything's been stressful for me lately."
Hikari gave a nod. "It's quite alright Lady Tsuki, I understand."
Tsuki gave a small smile before turning to Tarou. "Yes, I fear our lady is going through physical and mental health problems right now, but she will return to her full strength and be stronger than ever once we tell her what we can do to get rid of Lord Nobungaga. I know it."

Sootfeather ;; ( Sorry it took me so long! ;-; )Rukia, having distanced herself from all the craziness this morning, was sitting close to the samurai's den. Her dull green eyes looked up with disinterest at the army that had perched itself right on the hill, keeping a watchful eye on SakuraClan below. Shaking her head, she sighed. What a morning... Honestly, she had no idea what was going on today. She'd slept late, and awoke just in time to see some...uninvited cats in her camp.
Weird morning, yeah. She'd tell you right off the bat.
After being filled in by some fellow warriors, she realized that these cats were part of some Clan called the Oda, mortal enemies of SakuraClan. The weren't really doing anything right now, just lazing up on the distant hill, which confused Rukia. But a part of her told her that maybe something worse was in store. With two enemies living - literally - right next to one another, things could grow bad quickly. I guess the festival is a bust now, huh? All that work for nothing.

Hey guys, I apologize for my inactivity on this thread. My focus hasn't really been anywhere lately because I've been kind sick and this weekend just topped everything off. I've literally been sitting in my bed browsing all pinterest and watching YT videos all Friday and half of Thursday.
