Oniyuri said nothing, instead staring at the torii gate with an owl's eyes. She gulped, quite nervous and visibly shaking at the thought of passing through that gate and facing what was to come next.

"See that over there?" Junichi mewed, gesturing towards the gate. "That's a torii, it serves as the entrance to our camp. Just beyond here is-huh?" he stopped speaking as he turned to see Oniyuri shaking. What's wrong with her.

Oniyuri glared up at Junichi. The shaking only continued from the sight of him looking at her strangely. Why is he staring at me. "What?" she muttered.

Junichi shook his head. Weirdo. He turned ahead and took a deep breath. "Anyway, this is camp. Let us go inside." He padded foward, the torii gate passing overhead.

Oniyuri followed, officially deciding that she didn't like Junichi very much. (lol)
The sight of the torii gate had surprised her, but the sight of camp was even more to behold. The sakura trees in the distance were a magnificent beauty, their soft but brilliant colors catching the molly's eye. She could see two extravagant-looking temples, one closer to the camp and the other farther away. The feline didn't notice the group of cats inhabiting that temple, since she was too busy taking in her surroundings.
The Great Tree seemed to sing to her the most, not only being the largest thing in her eyes but also the most beautiful. "Whoa," she breathed, staring at everything around her like a kit seeing the world for the first time. "This place looks amazing."

(lol) "Isn't it?" Junichi agreed, appreciating just how magnificent the Sakura Clan camp was for the first time in a long while. "This is where we live." Then Oda scent hit him, and he could see the unfamiliars roaming around camp. His tail drooped to the ground with a disappointed thud. "Except we aren't the only ones living here."

The apprentice surveyed the trinity's conversation apropos to where he and his sensei were standing. Something seemed a bit...odd about Takeshi, Tsuki, and Hikari - they were surprisingly sunny and lighthearted ( to speak for Izumi's brother and the Japanese sept's general, especially ) to this newcomer. And, as his teacher took dainty steps towards this supposed healer, she seemed to completely toss away her unemotional and stern persona, replacing it with with a light, happy tone.He pieced together this metaphorical puzzle and came to a realization - they were attempting to hoodwink this Oda cat into friendship, to get on his good side. Tarou, with his unrivaled observing skills, saw Izumi's auricle twitch and he came to the conclusion that he should play along as well. Well, he was already a friendly little cat, so this shouldn't be so hard for him."Ah! Good morning to you, sir~!" He chirped, giving the lilac tom with cheeriest smile he could muster. "I am pleased to meet you on this beautiful day. May I ask who you are?" Truly, the day wasn't fully "beautiful", as half of the sky was covered in what looked like rain clouds. But at least the sun was still shining upon them.The feminine tom, almost seeming a bit startled at the duo's jovial greetings, blinked at the two. A small smile came upon his youthful face, and he replied with a humble: "Good morning to you both. I am Ranmaru Mori, healer of the Oda. It is nice to meet you."
Briefly turning his attention back to Tsuki, the healer looked about the Clan. "Oh... I see. Well, perhaps there could be some other time. Festivals are no good when they have been cancelled."

Sootfeather Rukia sniffed the air as they continued to trek through the forest, her muzzle scrunched in concentration. Hm.
She stopped. The wind was carrying something different... She sniffed again, and this time, the grassy scent of bamboo was replaced with various smells - cooking food, dust, smoke, among them. "I think we're close." Picking up her pace a bit, the Bengal trotted ahead. The stalks were starting to open up to the sky again, and the bamboo abruptly stopped at a tall hill. From that hill, Rukia could see everything.
The city of Edo lay just beyond them. Towering buildings and pagodas were dotted everywhere, glowing yellow lanterns strung on lines crisscrossed between them. A river far off in the distance churned into what looked like a lake. Overall, it was a nice view, and something that even Rukia would call "breathtaking". "There it is... Edo. Let's go ahead down there and see what they've got."( This is what the city looks like. )

Tsuki flicked her tail. The festival had been canceled because of him and his Clan! She bit on Her tongue and nodded. "Yes, they are no good," she meowed. The she-cat looked up at Lady Akiko's temple. If Lord Nobunaga dared to enter her lady's private resting chambers she'd rip his pelt off.
"Do the Oda have festivals?" Hikari asked.

Takeshi gritted his teeth inwardly, putting on the fakest small smile he could muster. No, festivals are never good when cancelled. Especially when the reason why is right in front of us! His fur pricked as his celurean eyes glanced over at the temple that Akiko resided in. I hope my lady is well... We still haven't spoken to her yet.Ranmaru shook his head. "No, not exactly," he replied. "We don't have many festive customs, besides celebrating our victories."

"What do you mean?" Oniyuri asked, glancing around the camp quizzically.
All of the cats milling about were strangers to her, and any differences in their alliances were invisible. She could see a group of cats nearby a pile of what looked like their prey. One looked visibly uncomfortable from the friendly-looking cats surrounding him. Oniyuri's eyes merely passed over this scene though; to her, none of that would appear amiss.
The feline did notice that most of the inhabitants in this area had a gloomy air about them; she could feel the tension prickling her fur. Is it always like this here? she wondered.

Hikari tilted her head. "Oh. I can't imagine not having any festivals. They're really fun." The she-cat twitched her ears. If only this cat would have some fun. "What do you like to do?" She asked.
Tsuki looked over at Takeshi. The commander knew was thinking what she was.

Junichi shifted to face Oniyuri, blue eyes apprehensive. "Oda clan. They're our enemies. And right now, we're forced to share our home with them." He wondered if Oniyuri would understand any of this, having lived alone all this time. "Don't confuse our scents. We are not the same clan." he added angrily.

"Okay.." Oniyuri replied, shifting uncomfortably. "Why would you share your home with your enemies? That doesn't seem very logical." Of course, she had no understanding as to what had happened here. This was her first time ever hearing about Oda clan, besides being accused of one by Junichi.

[ Izumi | Camp Clearing | Tags - - Ranmaru, Takeshi, Tarou, Tsuki ]
The diplomatic address met brassily with tympanic membranes and the femme cajoled down the impetus to blench in detestation at the oppugnant gibe. Both his gung-ho comportments and unabridged habitation in the hierarchy of the Oda Clan disseminated vindictive vibes through the span of the molly’s svelte physique, which contemporaneously appeared congenitally buoyant and seemingly non-confrontational.
Awaiting a lull in the confab, the feminine took a chance to converse once more.
“What a lovely alias if I do say so myself.”
A tender smile dimpled buccals as she perused the masculine - meeting his gander with her own, perspicacious ones.
“We best be going - Tarou and I - as I see these felines have much more to discuss with you. It was great meeting you and perhaps you could join us in the Healer’s den after you finish your conversation with Tsuki and Takeshi? It would be an absolute honor.”
Cognitively, she replaced the word ‘honor’ with ‘horror.’ |

Junichi sighed and sat on the ground, white tail swishing. "We don't have a choice. They demanded that we share with them, and we don't have the numbers to drive them off." It seemed they were making themselves comfortable, which only made Junichi feel worse.

Oniyuri flicked her tail, a bit lost in thought. A moment passed before she came to a realization. "This clan has a leader, yes?" she asked. Not waiting for Junichi to respond, she continued. "So Oda must have a leader as well. Why don't you just kill the leader? Like a hive of bees, they will have to fight over who leads next. Or, perhaps they will just scatter." Her logic was indeed flawed, and she had a small intuition of that herself. But it seemed like a simple solution, and she couldn't foresee anything better.

ᔕɿɱƿՆעᗰעς੮ע Stormheart As the little male looked up at his sensei, brilliant globular orbs augmented as he noted a smile spreading across her maw. Wow... I've never seen her smile before. Not even Takeshi-dono either... Yes, it was a fake smile, but if he didn't know any better, he would have mistaken it for a real one. For him, it was a lovely sight to see, but after a while, Tarou realized that he had been staring for too long. Snapping out of his awestruck sentiment, he turned to Ranmaru, wanting to add on to the conversation once more. "Oh, y-yes!" came his perky squeak. "It would be so...'lovely' to speak more with you there." Inly, Tarou was quite uncomfortable with this tomcat; he only hoped that this...Ranmaru wasn't getting any ideas.The violet-lilac tom nodded, pleasant feminine features upturning in acceptance. "Oh, but of course. I'll see you then." He exuded a bow to the two, celureans coruscating.
Once more, the Oda cat switched his attention to Hikari. "Well, I do like learning more about herbs." He paused. "...I'm not exactly a 'full-time healer', though. I sometimes perform warrior duties, including fighting, hunting and the like. And when I have time, I'll spend it either with Lord Nobunaga or Lord Mitsuhide. On my own time... I also like to collect things like feathers and leaves."

"It's not that simple of course." Junichi mewed, a bit annoyed at having to explain something so obvious to this molly but understanding that she wouldn't know, being a rogue and all. "There's no telling how they would all react. And killing Nobunaga is a very different matter." Junichi shuddered at the thought of an attempted assassination of the fearsome tyrant.

"And how strong is this Nobunaga?", Oniyuri challenged. She noticed Junichi shudder, wondering what it was about this cat that would cause such a response. "Is there not a possible way to kill him using stealthy measures? Surely this one cat is not invincible to such an attack."

"Tabun." Junichi replied, eyes shifting a different direction. "You would die though, that's for certain. If these Oda rats have any loyalty." Perhaps he shouldn't have been discussing this matter with an outsider, despite that she could be a potential clanmate. Especially about what sounded like an assassination plot potentially within earshot of an Oda cat.

"Very well." she mewed, and said nothing more. Oniyuri didn't know much about this Oda clan, but apparently these cats had very strong negative feelings towards them, varying from fear to hatred. Perhaps it wouldn't be such a good idea to join this clan. But I can't go back. she thought, shaking her head to clear the thought away. Commitment is the first step.

As Nobuki pushed his way to the top of the hill, he stopped, taking a moment to for his eyes to adjust to the new sight. The city before him was truly amazing, with it's complicated structures and pretty colours, the sunlight glittering off of what appeared to be a lake nearby. He paused for a moment,staring, barely even hearing Rukia's words. " Alright," he said quietly, nodding hurriedly as be began to make his way down the hill. The scents here were definitely different from those of SakuraClan territory, which reminded him that he would have to be a lot more cautious in this new area. After making it to the bottom of the hill, Nobuki, currently having little leader capabilities, lifted his head and asked softly, " So.. Where do you think would be a good place to look?"

Junichi eyed Oniyuri coolly. "My apologies if all of this is a bit overwhelming for you. If you still wish to stay here, perhaps I can take you to the daimyo." He supposed it would be unwise to stand around chatting forever. And the longer this rogue stayed in the camp unannounced, the more likely she could turn into a problem.

Oniyuri shook her head, clearing away her bad thoughts. She was already here, visible to everyone in the clan, and her presence was already known to at least one cat. If she gave up now, she would be chased out of the clan's territory. And I never want to leave Hanasaki Valley. "If your Daimyo is the leader I should talk to, then yes, take me to them," she mewed.

Junichi nodded at the vibrant shecat. "Very well. If you'll follow me, then." Without another word, he began to march towards the temple where Lady Akiko resides, trusting that Oniyuri remained behind him. As he drew closer he briefly wondered whether the daimyo would appreciate this newcomer. If she allowed her to stay, he figured it would mean a lot more work for him to assist the molly in becoming accustomed to clan life. Upon reaching the painted temple doors, he came to a stop and drew a deep breath before tentatively reaching out one paw and leaving a brief knock. "My Lady?"
