†...[ Rinji Date ]...†
"The Little Dragon of the Date Clan"
Rinji walked down the hall holding a tray, with tea for his mistress...they had just had another standstill with the Saica faction, their biggest rivals, they had just had a three week battle with them...and it ended with no winner, a draw...they fought with the Saica often and each time it ended like this, a draw...of course Magoichi was angered by this but his mistress was even more angered by it...she hated Magoichi and a battle ending in a draw was just as bad losing to her...Rinji knew she'd be in quite a cross mood but tea usually helped her clam down a bit...he also had a letter to deliver to her from a mystery patron, most likely someone requesting their services...
The little army, like the Saica faction were mercenaries for hire and every now and then they'd get requests to help in a battle...it had been a while since they had gotten one though...with the death of Shingin Takeda and Hieydioshi, and the chaos that followed the armies weren't as organized and few asked for their services anymore...
Rinji finally got to his mistresses door and knocked...other members looked at him as he was stupid, after a battle the others tried their best to avoid the leader, Rinji though, being a good friend of hers always went to her and checked on her after a battle...Rinji was sent to the girls family at a very young age to be the girls servant and bodyguard, at first he hated the idea of being a servant to anyone...especially a girl...but as they grew they became more friends and he had an unwavering loyalty to her and when she started this army he was her second in command...now though he was still her servant he didn't see it that way anymore.
He waited for a while and knocked again hoping she was still awake....

 Akemi Takenaka
Demon's blood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: The battle with Saica didn't last as long this time, but the out come was the same as the others; a draw. The leader wasn't as happy as she should have been, they had fought to the last bullet, last inch of a sword and yet they both fell together. These battles were useless, driven by jealous of the tiny army created by a Takenaka. She had driven love for the Maeda, Keiji Maeda, messenger of Kenshin. She had fallen in love with him, since she was young, he had worked with her father, Hanbei and Hideyoshi therefore giving them a strong bond. Not long ago she received word that his love wasn't going to be returned, as it was pulsing it's way towards Magoichi of Saica faction. That is the main reason behind the wars they had; jealousy.
The Daughter of Takenaka, was within her chamber. Her body sat up upon her futon, her head bowed as if praying. Before her, her father's sword lied. The chained whip. He had died from an unknown illness and at such a young age, passing his weapon down to her. Shortly after Hideyoshi followed. throwing her into the world without warning. But she wasn't alone, Akemi had her best friend, her bodyguard at her side. Rinji of the Date army, without him she would have been a no body in his land of war.
Suddenly, a larger knock echoed upon the wood of her room, her eyes opening as her head lifted towards the paper that cast the shadow of the figure. The young woman let out a deep sigh as she snatched the whip sword from it's bed, vaulting her body up as her black, redded kimono swung with her. Her arm stretched, flicking the sword loose as it ripped through the paper. It only revealed the figure even more, as her hazel eyes roared with anger, she wasn't in no mood to start a conversation, she just wanted to be alone. Akemi would have thought after the many battles with Saica, she never wanted to be disturbed.
Within seconds of the sword ripping the frail door and recoiling back into it's strongest form. The woman's eyes fell upon the male, it was none other than Rinji, plus a few soldiers cowering in the far corner of their home. Her anger was similar to a great lord that once lived, she even had the man's power of darkness. Branding her close to his level of greatness. Although the man that stood there was Rinji, her second in command, not once did her eyes soften as she looked at him with unhappiness.

†...[ Rinji Date ]...†
"The Little Dragon of the Date Clan"
Rinji backed up a bit as he saw the blade slash through the door destroying it...Rinji sighed...she was angry like he suspected, he snapped and pointed to one of the frightened members of the army..."Go have the carpenter make a new door...now.." the man stood there dumbfounded, on how Rinji was cowering, but he had become accustomed to Akemi's anger..The soldier hurried off and Rinji entered the room through the hole...
He placed the tray in front of the woman and bowed. "Lady Akemi...I understand your frustration with ending yet another battle with Saica in a draw, but you mustn't go on destroying doors...it'll just make you seem like a hot head to the men.." he started pouring her some tea and sat it on the side of the tray near her...he after poured him a cup of tea as well...
He took a sip of his and sat it down..."Now, I know we weren't able to best the Saica, but we walked away from the battle with only minimal damage...we live to fight again...we didn't surrender or accept defeat..." he said sipping his tea again..."Cheer up Lady Akemi...the day will come when we will be victorious...and the Saica will have no choice but to surrender themselves to us.." he said reassuringly...

Akemi Takenaka
Demon's blood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC:
Akemi watched as Rinji ordered about one of the useless soldier to repair the damage she had caused, sitting to her knees, the woman placed the sword back upon it's bed. Resting under a lit candle. Her eyes still scorned with anger as she watched him enter, placing the tray before her. She knew fully well at what ever she did, there was no way this man would leave. even if she had killed him, his ghost would be there, haunting her. Raising her hands, having before returning them back upon her lap. This caused the sleeves of her kimono to rest at her hips, instead of creasing under her forearms.
The woman continued to watch as he did the pouring of the tea before her. It was an art, usually done by women, but she was in no mood to do such a thing. Picking up the cup, her index finger and thumb, held it gently as her lips drunk from it. Before placing it back onto the tray to cool.She listened to him, watching him closely. "I know we didn't best the Saica... " Her head turned towards her left, her eyes setting upon the masses of guns piled in the corner. "We did manage to nick half of their supplies" A hand rose to her lips as she chuckled. Just the thought caused happiness rush through her. "Magoichi is probably scolding them"
-brain dead... eating also XD-

†...[ Rinji Date ]...†
"The Little Dragon of the Date Clan"
Rinji shook his head and chuckled a bit himself...the strangest things made her return to a happy mood...he drank more of his tea, finishing the cup and pouring himself more...he offered her more before he went back to drinking...he looked at the pile of guns...he had a gun of his own...homage to the Date clan...his brother, Masamune taught him how to use a gun when they were younger, before he was given to Takenaka family...he kept his gun with him at all time, hiding it under his coat...seeing the Saicas guns he saw his gun was a bit better...theirs seemed makeshift...his was made for him with some of the best material....he pulled his gun and looked in it...he patted the pouch on his hip..
"Um Lady Akemi...did you all perhaps get some guns with bullets...my shipment haven't came in yet and I'm down to my last round..." he asked...his bullets were imported made of gold mostly...it was kind of what he became know for, golden bullets symbolized that he was there...but since his shipment was late this time he'd due with normal bullets...he had an idea of why his shipment hadn't yet came...Motoshika...the pirate again was on the prowl and raiding...some people delayed their shipments to avoid getting robbed...he sighed hoping these guns had some bullets he could use...
He looked down at the tray and remembered the message...He retrieved the letter out of his pocket and placed it on the tray..."Oh I almost forgot...we have a letter, from an unknown person, I haven't opened it yet but I think it may be a job.." they hadn't gotten one in a bit but it was possible...

Akemi Takenaka
Demon's blood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC:
Lifting her cup back towards her lips, Akemi had taken another sip. The freshness of the liquid was calming her down, even the soft voice of Rinji helped out. Her eyes focused on to him, watching a chuckle escape his lungs. Then his next question had hit her. Placing her cup back down upon the tray, she stood with grace. She wasn't there when her troops raided the Saica's supplies, not knowing what was in that pile. Throwing her kimono out of the way of her hands, she began to dig through it. Throwing the weapons here and there, checking each one for tiny shells. It didn't take her look to hear a load fall out of a rifle. "You are in luck Rinji" She smiled, cupping the ammo in her hands, making her way back towards the male. She on the hand was never in need of a gun, she honestly didn't like the things. With her own katana and her father's whip sword, she would slice and dice the enemy, instead of sending a bullet through their brains.
Sitting herself back down, and empting her hands by his side, her head lifted to look at him again. A letter was received, causing a frown to form. It have been a long while since they had a job, which made her wonder why someone was wanting her help now. Taking the tray into her hands, inspecting it to the fullest. "It isn't Tokugawa, nor Ishida" Her looked at the symbol. It seemed like a flower trapped inside a larger one. Her eyes snapped up towards Rinji, heading it back to him. "Burn it.. I don't want a job from the Oda" She scold. That clan had caused a lot of trouble for her and everyone else. She didn't want anything to do with them

Rinji smiled seeing the ammo...he gathered some and put it all in his pouch to load later...he looked at her reaction to the letter and took it back...he looked at the emblem...Oda....but they had died..right? Nobunaga's death marked the end of their reign....he looked at her..."We should at least read the letter...I mean its suspicious getting a letter from the Oda...I'm not saying we have to accept the job but...aren't you curious of who sent this and why?"...he put the letter back down...he couldn't open it without her say so...one of the minuses about being a servant...he waited to see if she would want to read the letter anyway...though he knew she wouldn't want to work for the Oda...they were trouble when they were everywhere and if this was really the Oda clan most likely it would still be trouble...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC:Still ill... Trying my best A huff was released from her as he spoke about the letter. They could find out what it really means, perhaps it was sent before the death of the Oda clan's lord. It was rather strange that a letter was there with them. "Go ahead" Akemi spoke, standing. There wasn't a word in the world that would make her sit to listen to the crap that could be written down. Her body turned away from Rinji as she folded her arms, listening.

Rinji nodded a bit, seeing she still didn't want to know, well not to the point where she'll opwn it herself..He opened the letter and scanned over it before gasping a bit..."Um...Lady Akemi...this isn't from the Oda...not directly..its an oracle..she is requesting our services to save someone..Um...Oichi Oda...the Demon Kings younger sister.." he had heard she had died at Honno-Ji...that battle was a blood bath..how could she have lived..."Akemi...I...I think we should pursue this..with your blessings of course.." he didn't want her to think he was being disrespectful, but he felt like this was not only a chance to rise to their former glory as a mercenary guild, but also to see about a mystery...was Oichi Oda still alive?...

Akemi Takenaka
Demon's blood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: Her head turned to the side, has she listened to the opening. She was nervous under her stone emotion. She use to work and live for a bad side; Hideyoshi. She didn't want to go back there again, everyone had looked down upon her for being the daughter of Hanbei. And now the Oda clan seal was on that letter. Her body turning at high speed, as her eyes set upon Rinji "Oracle?!... To save Oichi?" The woman was confused, why save someone that had died, shot dead by her own brother. Just thinking about her made her body shiver. But she couldn't turn it down. If that woman was still alive, she could be used. Used for bad, and Akemi understood what could be done with her. "I guess we have no choice. If lady Oda is still alive.. we will be in trouble if either Ieyasu or Mitsunari get hold of this... You must burn that letter, keep the words in your mind" She pointed towards his head. "Get the troops ready, We are setting off to Honno-Ji first... to check"

Rinji stood but them froze.....his eyes were stuck on Akemi....directly to Honno-Ji? That place had some bad juju...When the Oda army went there for battle with another army...no one survived...well they suspected no one did...according to the letter Lady Oichi did....Rinji nodded knowing it was smart to go check...but still...he nodded, though this was unexpected it was his orders now...He bowed to Akemi and walked out of the room to go and give the orders to the troops...
Like him the troops were nervous about going to Honno-Ji, all knew of the battle, the bad luck it brought...the myths of some kind of spirit...but they were all more afraid of Lady Akemi....she was scarier than any monster or spirit...the men began readying themselves for the trip...Rinji went and started gathering his things and preparing himself...he hoped the myths were untrue...he hoped they weren't walking into a nightmare...he finished getting ready and the men did as well, it was nearly sunset when everything was done...Rinji went and got Lady Akemi telling her everything was ready to go....

Akemi Takenaka
Demon's blood
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
OOC: A smile washed over her lips as she saw the nod from the man's head, although his eyes showed concern, and worry, and fear. Not once did she flinch from that look he had, she loved it that way. Fear will lead them into the battle, and win. Pride will cause them to fall. Nodding back to him, Akemi disappeared into the back of her room, to change.
A few hours later, Rinji had knocked upon her door, her hand flung it open. Witnessing her army standing before her, along with Rinji. Her body was wrapped in her armour, many would say she looked like Lady No, of the Oda clan. The mixture of orange and red, mixing with black. In her hands, was that of her father's sword and her own. She was ready for battle, along with her huge smile on her face. "All set I see~ Let's get going!"
