"Exactly," Oniyuri spat. "Why do you think I left and came here?" Her life before had been nothing but searching for anything she could find to eat, and avoiding the sight of hungry Ningen peasants who would see her as a potential meal if they were poor and hungry enough. One of them actually had tried to catch her, though luckily she was quick enough to get away. She shook that memory from her head. She would not leave Hanasaki Valley.

Agone the twain healers exited the premier's boudoir, with the intent to diverge to their respective lair, lambent efflugence that hung over the Japanese kindred was overcast beneath a yashmak of diaphanous liquefied water vapor. Amist this coming precipitation, the neophyte's attention rested upon Izumi's older sib, the sept's general, and a young samurai. Coruscating viridesent optic contrivances caught sight of a newcomer before them, engaged in amicable chitchat. "Who is that?" The susurrated query was addressed to no one in particular, although the tenderfoot was comparatively speaking to his sensei. Nares augmented, circulating a wonted scent into elastic respiratory sacs and branching alveoli, the inspire promptly fashioning a cognizance; the aroma of herbal verdure. He smells like herbs... Is this...the Oda Clan healer?ᔕɿɱƿՆעᗰעς੮ע

"Not my problem." Junichi growled, tail twitching. "I'll say it again. This land is for clan cats only. That's the law, and it won't change for the likes of you." He kept his eyes trained on the rogue, waiting for her to attack once again.

"Why should this law apply to anyone who doesn't belong in your...Sakura clan", The she-cat retorted. "Like I said, I'm not leaving." She was determined to be stubborn about this, even if she had to run away from this stranger and hunt somewhere else in the valley. He was just one cat; and he wouldn't be able to patrol this entire area by himself. With her agility, she figured she could flee this scene quite easily, and return to the valley once he gave up and went home.

Shizu lay sprawled out on her back. Legs sprawled out and soft, peaceful snores escaping her maw every now and then. The traditional Sakura bud she usually wore above her ear lying messily on the center of her face. And her brown and white splotched fur was messy. One look at the elderly female, and anyone would know she had a peaceful night of rest. Despite the troubling events before she decided to sleep. Who cared anyways? Shizu wasn't letting any colored moon ruin her day. Pink. Purple. Or Green. Life was too short to stress.
The sound of a voice just at the entrance of the den was what disturbed her slumber.
A coppery-green eye slowly opened and the snoring stopped. As she looked to see who had woken her up all she saw was a small, pale blur. Hmph, I never thought my eyesight would fail this quickly and on such short notice. The elder then rolled over and rubbed her oculars, the sakura bud falling away from her face as she did so. Opening her eyes, Shizu glanced back at the visitor.
"Ah, young Kuri, Ohayougozaimasu," She mewed through a wide yawn. "What brings such a sweet soul to visit me on this fine haru morning?" ☞ ❀♖ ☜
"There are so many beautiful flowers growing, and I wanted to share some with you!" Nothing rivals the innocence of a young cat, and one could clearly see her happiness as the flowers fell from her maw. It was best to keep one's head up during this pressing time.
"Can you tell me a story?" She purred, sitting back on her sable haunches. It made sense for the minarai to want to find a haven to stay in, what from the intruders of their clan and the odd signs from the cats that resided above.

The elderly she-cat stood to stretch her stiff legs as the young minarai began to talk. A small purr rousing from deep within her throat when she realized Kuri had brought a small bundle of flowers. "How sweet of you. Its nice to see young ones enjoying spending time with us Wise Ones. Its rare to see your denmates willingly coming to visit." She mewed as she scooped up a pawful of the flowers. Braiding them together into a small bracelet. "Try it on dearest."
Kuri's next question made Shizu's heart soar. How long had it been since she'd shared a story with anyone? And which one would she tell? There were so many. "What would you like to hear? A story of love or war?" Little did she know that those same cats who started the last war were loitering outside the den, in her camp right now. |

"I suppose...having an attitude like that is good," she meowed. "If those cats just leave us be, we can host the festival again, and everything will be fine." She was neither a pessimist, nor an optimist, but Rukia was on Nobuki's side now. As the two trekked through the bamboo forest, Rukia looked around, occasionally sniffing the air to see if they were getting closer to the city. When she smelled nothing but the grassy, soil-like scent of the air around her, she kept going.Sootfeather
"Oh. I've...heard that there was a festival of some sort here." He placed a paw to his mouth. "Maybe it's not staring as soon as I thought. I've never been to one, though."

(Ooooo that would be interesting! Junichi definitely isn't the type to do that lol)
"Tch." Junichi couldn't help but show a bit of annoyance at the rogue's noncompliance. "Do what you like then. I'm not going to bother killing you. Just don't say I didn't warn you when someone else does." As he turned to walk away he remembered that his clan was currently forced to tolerate Nobunaga's gang. Stopping in his place he mused "I suppose the clan could use someone who fights like you."

(That idea would be quite interesting, and will cause all sorts of drama. Perfect.)
"Then everything would be fine.." The sepia feline echoed softly, trailing abaft Rukia. Was it really that easy to spread optimism? Simply look at the bright side of things and others will too? Content and believing that his sanguine view was doing something good, Nobuki padded on in quietude, his bright green oculars were fixed on the bamboo forest, waiting for the first hints of the unfamiliar city. After a while, Nobuki spoke, breaking the silence. "Do you think we are close yet?"

I feel like Oniyuri would be the type of cat to do that, but she hasn't even joined a clan yet lol)
The she-cat stared at Junichi in surprise. Is he suggesting I join him? she thought. She pondered this for a moment. Oniyuri had fallen in love with this valley the moment she discovered it. There was no sign of Ningen anywhere; there was no dirty village full of hungry peasants. There was water, trees, and plenty of prey. To her, this place seemed like a paradise. If what this stranger said was true, then his clan would drive her out or even kill her if they found her. Maybe joining them would be a good idea...if not to just use them for their resources. "What are you suggesting?" the molly asked, though her mind was already whirling with the insinuation that the tom had just made.

Kiyoshi xx Mᴏᴏɴ - - Kiyoshi watched a bit startled as Emiko threw herself at her sister in attempts to master the battle move. "Not quiet," She began with a small purr, "Let's do it again. After this run, Haruna will be the attacker." She glanced over at her minarai. Then looked back at Emiko. "Then maybe we'll add a few more tricks to this tactic."
She took a step back and sat, nodding her head as a sign for the two sisters to do it again. |

a diamond's pearl ;; ( I did see it, but for some reason I didn't have the muse to reply to it... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, I'll try not to do that again. )
"Aww." Emiko pouted gave Haruna another nudge, helping her up. "Let's try again, then~!""So...you're attacking me this time, I think," Haruna guessed tentatively, nodding when she recieved a chipper 'yes!' from her twin. Backing away to widen the distance between them, Emiko raced towards Haruna. But instead of throwing herself at her, Emi purposely teetered to the side; this was to throw Haruna off guard and make an opening.
The younger apprentice stumbled to the right as her equilibrium was unbalanced. Emiko mmediately pinned her once she was flipped to the side, and slid her paw over Haruna's soft underbelly. "Is that better?" She asked.

Oh, she heard.Junichi turned his head slightly to speak over his shoulder. "Suggesting? I suppose nothing. What, were you wanting to join the clan?" He added with a snort. He'd never heard of a rogue joining a clan. He wasn't particularly concerned with her needs either.

"Oh! A story of love and romance!!" Kuri didn't think anyone could handle more war within the clan, and certainty didn't want tails of samurai dying in battle cluttering her brain for the rest of the day. She laid down in front of the Wise One, folding her paws beneath her creme body.
"Tell me about your old mate." All cats knew that Shizu constantly had her counterpart within her aging mind, and loved nothing more then to share a tale about him.

The feline eyed him warily. "Perhaps", she meowed. "If it is true that only clan members are allowed here...then wouldn't the best possible solution be to become a member?" She had no idea how this stranger would react, but from his expression she could tell that maybe this was the wrong cat to ask. On the outside it was merely a suggestion, but in her mind, Oniyuri feared that it was the only solution. The idea of committing to a community of cats was quite frankly intimidating to think about.

Hmm. This strange rogue had Junichi's attention now. He turned to sit facing her, no longer sensing aggression but rather desperation. "Become a member..." he echoed, musing. He didn't trust the molly in the slightest, however. His wounds still stung. He grimaced.
"You realize being part of a clan requires contribution? The clan doesn't serve you, rogue." What was he saying? He wasn't actually considering this ridiculous proposition?

"I am aware", the she-cat muttered, attempting to put up the facade that she knew what clan life would be like. She was faltering though; her mind drew a blank on what to say. This character in front of her did have a point. She stood up from her crouched position, flicking her tail back and forth in a re-approaching manner. "What sort of contributions would be needed?" she asked, clearly desperate to stay in the valley.

Junichi blinked in surprise at the molly's words. She's serious. Though he had to admit he admired that about her. Was she really going to give up her private life to join a mass of others, who may or may not even accept her? She must be desperate. Perhaps there was a trick. "Well, you have to hunt for the clan before you can hunt for yourself. You have to dedicate your life to protecting it. You must always follow your leader's orders and uphold the Bushido Code."

Oniyuri stared at her paws once again, thinking some more. She didn't know what a Bushido Code was, but she supposed she would have to learn. Either way, she was NOT going back to the Ningen. "Very well," she muttered quietly, and said nothing more. Her mind was bubbling with thoughts of having to live with lots of cats, and she was too distracted to speak.

Post by ✽Boop✽ on Mar 14, 2017 14:45:10 GMT -5
Junichi narrowed his eyes. What had he gotten himself in to? This rogue was really willing to join up front. What was he supposed to do? Perhaps the clan could use a fighter like her. Would Akiko-sama be pleased? Maybe not. With the Oda invasion, the daimyo surely had much on her mind. Well, taking this cat in sure seemed easier than trying to drive her out on his own. He didn't need any more wounds, and he despised the idea of maiming or killing.
Junichi sighed and stood up. "Follow me, then. I suppose I will take you to our camp." he turned and padded over to the mice and picked them up in his jaws once again. If it didn't work out, the other clan members would surely be there to drive the rogue out.

Oniyuri followed him, a bit pleased that he complied. Of course, now it was time to worry about what was to come next. Would the clan accept her? What was the leader like? What kind of rules would she have to follow? How many cats would be there? Would she even want to stay?
After a while of following the tom, she realized that she didn't know his name. She didn't want to ask though, despite being curious. It took several minutes for her to sum up the courage to ask. May as well know, if we're potential clanmates. she thought grudgingly. "Y..y-your name. What is it?" she stuttered suddenly.

Shy, is she? Junichi thought as the molly stuttered her question. She certainly wasn't that a few minutes ago. As he walked he turned to tell her over his shoulder, "Junichi. It means 'obedient one'. I assume you have a name as well?"

[ Izumi | Camp Clearing | Tags - - Ranmaru, Takeshi, Tarou, Tsuki ]
Disquisitive tout de suite by the palavar, the matron perlustrated the symposium from a vindicated purview. Cerebrations meandered adrift, excogitating a felicitous argumentation apropos the societal convocation betwixt coadjutors and foe. Perchance the confab was a brazen cajolery - a cardinal essay in sidling into their emblematic parapet.
But no, that could not be equitable as an individual eupnea corroborated the certitude - exposed by the boquet of herbage - that the gibe was a physician; most indubitably an abettor by the deficit of maturity written across his lineaments.
Analytical dynamism piqued by this epiphany, the molly angled a sinistral auricle in the direction of the troika of grimalkins, insinuating that Tarou tagged along. Ensuing the allusion, she sauntered over in phlegmatic, precise treads; svelte cranium poised as an indicator of ascendancy. Carriage also seemed to augment this sense of authority: with plumed caudal upheaved to parallel the terra firma and the aplomb in each bound.
Upon reaching the triumvirate, a brusque declivity was offered to her sib - Takeshi - and another to the commander - Tsuki. Then, duplicitously, she tried instigating an exchance by the corporation of recherché pleasantries.
“A fine day, no? I would say so myself- and oh! Whom might you be?”
Ophthalmic contrivances shifted to peruse the presumed Oda Clan’s healer at a closer proximity. However, something was off - but not to those without a keen ear. Perhaps her neophyte or even her brother might’ve distinguished the anomalousness of how pleasant and ebullient the address had been - an extreme deviation to her quintessential stoical and monotone timbre. But for a stranger, this would in all likelihood give the impression of an innately benign comportment.

"Mm. Oniyuri." Junichi echoed as he continued walking. With her brilliant pelt, a name like 'Tiger Lily' was certainly fitting. Next to his own white fur he was used to looking at, Oniyuri's complicated patterns made the two seem like night and day. Junichi wasn't sure what else to say to this shecat. Small talk was a little awkward after the scuffle they had. "Well, camp shouldn't be too far from here." he decided to say. It was true; the torii gate was just visible now.
