Within the streets of Kiyonai there are dozens upon dozens of stalls stuffed with merchants selling food, clothing, jewelry, weapons, and women. One stall sold none of those. Instead, it offers lifelong companions. Taiyang, a new merchant in Quying backed by the Daimyo himself, has appeared with his Home for Marvelous Companions, packed with smartly trained dogs for every kind of job. They can hunt, they can fetch, they can protect, and most importantly, they can offer their loyalty and an undying bond known by few men. The companions range anywhere from fierce Quying mountain dogs to swift Kiyonai shibas and everything in between. If you need a job done right, get a Companion to do it for you! Normally the man sitting at the stall is Taiyang Yamada himself. He seems completely at home nestled among the ten, twenty, forty dogs he has with him, and seems at least a little hesitant to let them go once he deems someone worthy enough to adopt a companion. |

"Dogs..? Are you selling dogs? Floofs, any floofs? No those are not hounds, they are clearly your children though the amount of hair they have is... impressive..." Yasuke said disgusted as he waltzed through the City of Quying from stall to stall and marketplace to marketplace trying to find that one merchant he was looking for all along.
"Damn it Taiyang, where are you hiding..?!?" he exclaimed, as suddenly a senior member of the merchants of this specific marketplace poked Yasuke on the shoulder.
"My good Lord... If it is Taiyang's Home For Marvellous Companions you're seeking, it is only a few blocks away..." the elderly guy pointing Yasuke in another direction, judging by his expression his help was just as much presented to get the arrogant and abrasive samurai away from their peaceful marketplace.
"Oh thank you, that's just ace!" Yasuke said with a genuine smile unaware of his ulterior motives as he set his course towards the marketplace that was said to have...
"Taiyang's Home of Magnificent Compatriots...? Was that it..?" he mused as suddenly he had lost count of the streets and in what direction he had been pointed at. Looking back he didn't recognize the place and looking around him all the houses seemed new to him.
"What the hell... that guy..!" quick to blame the elderly merchant for his own mistake his clenched his teeth though quite suddenly something else would take up his mind. Something pulled in his hakama and sighing he turned around. "Look you little rascal, I don't have time for street urchins who can't pick pockets prop..." his voice stopped abruptly as he looked down and a small dog was insistent that his hakama pants were his to play with.
"Who do you belong to..?" Yasuke scratching his head, looking around for clues.

In a flurry of blue and white, someone took off down the streets with a panicked jog. A massive glob of red fur followed suit, parting the crowd to allow them through. They looked left, they looked right, and they questioned people loudly about finding someone called "Ha-Jun." It wasn't until they nearly trampled the man in the hakama, stopping on their heels so abruptly that they slid across the ground, did a ghost of recognition and horror pass their features.
"Ha-Jun...!" started the young man, looking down at the small hound with a scowl. Realizing himself, he looked up at the man before him and bowed his head. "My sincerest apologies!" he cried. "Ha-Jun didn't mean it. He is still in training! It is my promise that I will not allow him to cause such trouble ever again!"
The gigantic mountain dog at his side mimicked the young man's composure, paws over his snout with a whine.

"You're a little devil, aren't you?" Yasuke said and bowed down aiming to pat the dog on its head. "You can let go now though..." Yasuke offering the dog a grimace out of habit, but it persisted still. "What..? You want me to promise you a nice, big piece of boar meat huh? Well that ain't gonna happen my furry friend..." Yasuke said as suddenly some loud mouth came running towards him before stopping right in front of Yasuke looking down at the dog with a mean glare - the dog immediately releasing its jaws from Yasuke's hakama.
"Oh... ummm.. right then." Yasuke stroked his chin looking at the guy... the small dog... the big dog... and finally the obvious struck him. "You've just bought these dogs from that guy they say have a million dogs, isn't that right?!?" Yasuke grasped both his shoulders and looked him straight into the eyes.
"You must bring me to him, no arguments! I have a friend that is sorely in need of a dog like one of those!" he said firmly, the intense state not softening until the guy in front of him agreed.

Though the man seemed perplexed as the loudmouth shook him, he eventually understood his troubles, and his face widened into a smile. "The markets can be very confusing, huh?" he asked the man, patting him on the shoulder sympathetically. "I will show you this man! Follow me." He held out a hand to indicate the street before them before he was on his way.
As they walked, the young man decided to bombard his company with questions, but mostly about his friend. "What's his name? What kind of person is he? Why does he want a dog?" One right after the other. He kept a pleasant composure throughout, that tiny smile never leaving his face. The two hounds followed suit, with the larger keeping a strict eye on the young rascal. He wasn't getting away anymore!

"I knew it..!" he said and grinned releasing his overtly firm grasp on Taiyang's shoulders. "Yeah I think they designed these markets to be like a maze, so that you never get out of it and just keeps on buying stuff." Yasuke gesticulated caring little about who listened to his critique.
"Oh you will..! That's awesome!" Yasuke lit up and bowed slightly. "I'm Shisou Yasuke, what's your name?" he asked with a friendly voice and followed Taiyang. "Oh... ohhh..." Yasuke said and rubbed his chin thinking perhaps he shouldn't reveal too much information on an open market place like this. This guy sure was eager to ask him questions, just like a street thugs from where he came from, only he felt bad about this one trying to mug him, looking at his weak posture and sorry excuse for a martial body.
"Umm... his name... Yes of course his name, it's Sasaki Ichiro! Don't think you know him though, but jolly guy and almost as good as me in arm wrestling..!" Yasuke lied, the name was a name Kojuro had taken when they had secretly went for a drunken night out when he was not supposed to leave the mansion, recovering from the stab in his guts.
"Koj... Sasaki is a very friendly and caring person, who always makes friends with anyone - even the least likely. He's quite naive, but... I think he's just trying to think of what's best for everyone. And like in arm wrestling he's almost as good as me with a sword - which is quite impressive." Yasuke grinned. "Sasaki doesn't really know that he needs a dog, but recently his uncle died, who he was quite fond of - some mysterious illness related to the scratches down there' I believe..." Yasuke pointing down while continuing. "... and he's been kinda a pathetic mess, if you understand? It's like he really needs..." Yasuke thought hard about his words. "Loyal companionship and I thought perhaps an optimistic dog and one that wasn't too boring could bring him to let go of his heavy duties a bit." Yasuke smiled but then wondered.
"But why am I even telling you this..?" he chuckled. "When are we there?" he asked, halfway expecting the mugging to start very soon and he wondered how many people he had gathered for the attempt in the likely event which was doomed to fail anyway.

The young man tapped his chin as he listened to Yasuke, nodding here and there with a mild array of emotions passing his delicate features. The description of Sasaki's character wrestled tiny smiles onto his face, but the news of the man's uncle drew lines of grief in his forehead. "My condolences for your friend," he told him. "Perhaps a companion can help fill a new space in his heart."
He fell silent for several seconds after the man's last inquiry, letting the next turn answer instead.
There, at a stall positioned away from the rest, abundant, lavish, and overrun with smiling, tail-wagging, pitter-patting furballs, was the Home for Marvelous companions. Several howls greeted the men as they approached, but not one dog stepped out of line.
"You're in luck," the man told Yasuke. He trotted forward and made himself at home on a large pillow laying inside the stall. Extending a hand, he gestured with a chuckle to the scene around them. "The vendor just returned in time to see you!"

"Yeah..! That's what I hoped!" Yasuke sad and padded him on the back with a suitably heavy hand to show the he was in agreement with the guy. Yasuke kept close to the guy following him around the blocks and past the stands until they finally arrived at a stand that was full of little tail wagging floofs. Maybe not quite a million, but the grin on Yasuke's face as they ran in between his legs with their tongues hanging from their mouths and a few jumping up his legs showed that he was quite satisfied.
"Wow these things are so soft..!" he said and padded one of them... and another, and a third... and then the first again before he even had time to listen to Taiyang. "Just returned. Where..?" Yasuke asked absentmindedly and looked around, missing the stretched out hand just in front of him.
"Uhmm... you?" Yasuke scratched his head and grabbed Taiyang's hand with his other hand, giving him a rather rough and brief handshake. "Well then.." he said gathering his mind for the purpose. "I'd like a dog."

Taiyang laughed once more as he shook the hand of his new proprietor. "And a dog you shall have! That is, if we find a dog that likes him, as well. He does not sound like a bad fellow, but I prefer to meet the family before any of my friends are adopted. You do seem like you would like to make this a surprise, however. Perhaps I can help you with that? I own a farm in the country. It would be of no difficulty, be it you have the time, to take you on a carriage ride for a day so that you can meet the entire family. If he truly is a good man, one of the dogs will take to him as much as he will take to them. It is also private land. What say you to my proposal?"
He was quite open to having anyone he invited, even if they had just met, stroll right into his own home and property. He didn't have the need to be overly cautious with hundreds of massive dogs running around, ferocious enough to scare away demons from a place that was once their home.

"No can do!" Yasuke said and waved dismissively. "He... ehrm... he returned home to Kiyonai from er long journey and I'm sure I couldn't drag him up here if I had all your dogs to tug him!" Yasuke grinned. "You know, girl business..." he whispered and leaned in close to Taiyang. "And also as I said he is kinda depressed because his uncle died recently, so I can't really take him to your farm." Yasuke said and raised a brow.
"But..." he stuck his index finger in the air. "Maybe I can pick one for him? I know him... quite alright, and the idea with a gift is to pick something and try to make it the right thing evne if you're not quite sure, isn't it so?" Yasuke said confidently, he wanted to see this farm and see how many floofs he could count now.

Taiyang steepled his fingers and leaned back against the mountain dog that laid right behind him. Its fur enveloped his neck and tickled his cheeks as he thought.
“You must understand that choosing the right companion is not so simple,” he told the man before him. “The companion must also choose the master; this is how we ensure the best and longest-lasting relationships between them. Here, perhaps I can take a handful to your friend? I cannot guarantee that any dog you will choose now will immediately take to your friend. Think of how disappointing it will be if they do not, yes? I am willing to do many things to ensure that this will go smoothly. Ask the Daimyo! He has a dog from my farm, and he seems pleased.”

Yasuke narrowed his eyes and rubbed his chin musing over this odd fellow. Why couldn't he just sell him a damn dog? Well he explained 'why', but still he seemed to be way too far into this and if it continued this way he might have to actually resort to just kidnap one and leaving the gold. Chances where however that he would meet a quick demise by angry floof. Still there may be another option yet.
"Awww..." he Yasuke said, his eyes downcast. "My friend is going to be really disappointed by that, because there is no way he can come and pick it, and since the surprise is half the gift, you can't go with me and help him pick it." Yasuke said and shrugged, trying to look bummed out about it. "Still I bet if I buy one and return with it, it will raise his spirits too seeing the happiness of our companionship - don't you think?" Yasuke grinned and crossed his arms. "So in other words, I'm the one looking for a dog now!" he declared, hoping that the mad fluffer wouldn't catch on to his plan of just giving the dog to Kojuro back in Kiyonai - if anyone could make a companion of any dog out there, it would be him.

Desperately, Tai wanted to make both these men happy, and he knew that if they were truly good men that it would be making one of his companions happy as well. Still, this was a rocky decision at best.
“What if the dog does not like him?” he asked the man, looking up at him expectantly, hoping for a damn good answer. He refused to simply give away one away.
One would have had to be hair-brained to fall for this man’s trick. After all, Taiyang was a merchant: he knew every trick there was! But before he could even think of his next few words, a small bark silenced him.
Tilting his head, the merchant’s eyes caught sight of a small, curly-tailed, dark-furred Shiba strutting out from the back of the pack. He stopped right in front of Yasuke, gave him quite the eye, circled him once, then plopped his little butt down at his side. Tai’s brows furrowed and he lifted a hand in motion to speak, only to be silenced by a soft “borf.”
Blinking incredulously, Tai tried to explain once more, but the dog wasn’t having it. He bit his lip and tapped his fingers on the counter with an anxious amount of fury before, finally, letting it out in a sigh.
“... Shishou-San,” the merchant began. “This is Seon. It seems he has taken a liking to you. What do you think?”

"Ohh I wouldn't be worried about that, my friend could make best friends with an oni, and sometimes I actually think that he's pretty good pals with the kami of death..." Yasuke grinned and rubbed his chin. "But well... if you really seek someone who likes animals, I'll let you in on a little secret. The damn bugger went ahead and befriended a mountain ogre to save him from the people who thought he was bad luck!" Yasuke explained sincerely.
"Yep, he befriended an ogre, and that ogre took a liking to him as if he was the ogre's favorite rock... ehrm... family member." Yasuke corrected himself. "I'd say that any dog would be lucky to make his campanion, because they'd gain a life long companion too!" he almost bragged. Yeah, this reflected a little poorly back on Yasuke and what he had done to Kojuro before, but hopefully this would buy himself a bit of peace from his consciousness.
"This is one as quite a charmer!" Yasuke said and bend down to give him a couple of pats on the head. Yasuke could feel that, although this Taiyang guy wasn't too happy to part with his dogs to strangers, they were making progress. Yasuke got down on his knees looking this guy straight in its large, glassy eyes - full of joy and vigor. "I think Lord Ko... Uhmmm... my friend would be very pleased with Seon here!" Yasuke smiled and stood up again, accepting that his act from before hadn't even been acknowledged. "Then... how much is it?" he said, almost afraid to ask, this guy not looking like a dude who put prices on his 'companions'.

Befriended a mountain ogre?
Though skeptical, Seon had made his own mind up, and Taiyang wasn't going to stop him. Looking between Yasuke and the dog, he saw a mirror image. Both rather friendly and... very insistent. Perhaps, if this Yasuke fellow was such good friends with this Sasaki Ichiro, then Seon, with the same personality, would be too. He exchanged glances with the companion, let out a long sigh, then nodded.
He held up ten fingers.
"One hundred ryo."

Yasuke rubbed his chin as the price was revealed. 100 ryo was quite a lot, a skilled guard dog was usually a quarter and some horses sold for less - these dogs better be as good as they were made out to be. Yasuke was no canine expert, but they looked lively and he seemed to care a lot for the dogs.
"Right there are not cheap but you have yourself a deal!" he said and smirked as he pulled out a pouch, starting to count the ryo, placing them on the stand before him.
"You know I was wondering... does it obey commands or such?" he suddenly got to thinking and padded the fluffed dog on its head. It wouldn't be very good, if Kojuro couldn't make Seon behave in front of Ryuzo or Naka and the story might end with Seon finding a new home. That wasn't the plan.

Physical Description: Tall, lithe, and fair, Taiyang looks the part of a rich, merchant noble. Even though he is nearing his thirties, he is boyishly handsome, never without a bright smile or a mischievous grin.
He wears his dark hair long, far down his back and seems to enjoy taking care of it.

Clothes and Equipment: His mother, once being a successful textile merchant, was able to dress Taiyang in bright, embroidered silks. When he works, he does turn to durable cotton robes, breeches, and shirts.
Taiyang does occasionally carry weapons with him, and though he favors spears, most notably the guan dao, he does have some knowledge in various swords, bows and arrows, and a few unorthodox weapons.
He almost always has a wooden whistle with him, along with a small pouch filled with dog treats.

The merchant's shoulders bounced!
"Does he obey commands he asks!" howled the man, head lashed back in raucous laughter. He slapped his knee, rocked forward, and sprung onto his feet with a grin. Seon whipped his head to him.
"Allow me to teach you, Shisou-san. Keep an eye on me."
He whipped a hand up, level with his shoulder, palm flat. "Sit," he ordered.
And the dog sat.
He pointed at the ground, "Down." And Seon laid on his belly. With one finger, Taiyang looped it through the air. "Roll over."
Happily, Son did so.
"Bark, fetch, heel, shake!" The merchant went through command after command, all obeyed by the companion without hesitation. Seon's curled tail wagged proudly.
"And that is not the half of it," Taiyang announced. "He will attack anyone you ask him, and on order, he will let go. He will also deliver goods and messages provided he knows where to go. It will take him some time to learn his surroundings, but if you have the patience to teach him, he will understand."
