Once the shadow goes away Shintaro looks to Dimitri, "Dimitri. Takaishi and Okamoto just reported to me that the suit of armor is at the watchtower, supposedly to meet with his true master. I am not sure what to think of this, their agenda is separate from ours as far as I know. I would hope Tetsujin's master is not an enemy, we have enough on our plates to deal with right now."
Shin didn't seem overly bothered with Dimitri's intrusion, rather he was relieved to have someone to speak with. "The town nearby, we should send a party there to check things out. I was wondering who to send, besides Ram. The funeral pyre will begin soon, and the townspeople will wonder what that's about."

The Watcher
Established
Roleplay posts: 41
Physical Description: A seven feet tall suit of armor, animated to move and behave almost human. The void between the individual pieces of armor testifies to the fact that there is indeed nothing holding the armor in place. There is but thin air behind the dark slits in its helmet.
A massive long sword dangles from the waist of The Watcher, engraved with numbers. In its hand is a staff which appears to be made of metal.

The Watcher had been walking back at a slow pace, and would arrive a good while after the Shinobi. He'd head for Nishida's tent, with intent to ask him of the possibility of a meeting. |

Kasumi Okamoto
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 160 
Age: 23
Physical Description: As most women of Katashima are, Kasumi is not terribly tall, and stands at an unimpressive 5'4". She has skin that is considered of average coloration for her people, slightly darker than that of non-Katashimans, and is of a slender build, with delicate features. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and are brown, although the exact hue changes with her emotions, ranging from dark to light and often flecked or streaked with gold; her hair, though often kept up and out of her way, falls to just past her shoulders, and is a sleek, glossy black. Though she appears weak and not at all like one would expect a combatant to be, she is muscular enough to do her job, and do it well.
----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Kasumi wears an outfit that is both comfortable and easy to move in. This consists of a sleeveless, midriff-baring black shirt that gapes open at the sides, revealing the bandages wound around her bosom, on her top half; around her neck rests a loose drape of black cloth that can be pulled up to obscure the lower portion of her face. On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

The pair of shinobi appeared in Shintaro's tent via a sudden roiling of shadows; Kasumi emerged, tugging a shell-shocked and likely somewhat chilly Jou with her. She turned to Shintaro with a very serious look. "Tetsujin met with his master. He has been instructed to invite you to meet this man, and that he will 'know how to proceed' if you refuse it. I do not like this situation at all, Nishida-sama. It sounds as though this individual does not intend good things for you." She looked at Jou to see if he had anything to add.

Jou glared at Kasumi. This was not the first time she had dragged him through shadow. He had repeatedly asked her not to, she had repeatedly ignored this request. It was very unpleasant traveling through shadows if you were not the caster. Shaking off the unnatural chill in his bones he listens as she reports. When she finishes he nods his head he has little to add only one things.
"Tetsujin's master has confirmed he has long term plans. My personal opinion is that he is going to seek to use you in some way. I think the master is playing a larger game and wants you to play a role. The question is, can turn that to an advantage?"
Jou folds his arms and waits to be dismissed. Hopefully they could get some down time now. It felt like days since he and Kasumi had relaxed.

"Hm, I see. This could be a trap or something innocent. I'm not sure how we could turn this into an advantage, perhaps Avisor Ming may have an idea. Kun Exim, summon Ming Lee." Shintaro commanded his manservant to go fetch the former general. While they awaited the general, Shintaro would ask the shinobi, "What about the tower?"

With Dimitri's leave she pondered on what to do in the time being. She had no desire to eat yet with the day still present. She finally decides it was a decent time to practice the arts her father had begun to pass on - before she left in search for the warlord. She finds a comfortable center upon her bed mat and exhales slowly, bringing her hands together before her body as she let all sound and distractions ebb away from the front of her mind.
As her hands went to make the first shape and sign she stopped - something managed to sneak its way into her conscious thought. She heard the mutterings through the commanding tent near her own. She instead focused on pressing out surrounding noise to listen in. She could only pick up bits and pieces, but the right pieces to tell her that her being injured was extremely inconvenient as of now. Two people she heard she hadn't met, but Dimitri and Shintaro were clear. And she had a feeling that, perhaps, things were going to continue being shrouded in mystery with her lack of knowledge on the situation. Another mission of patience was in store, it seemed.

Kasumi was well aware of Jou's discomfort as it came to traveling via the shadows, but time had been of the essence, as had stealth. When Shintaro wasn't looking, she shot her lover an apologetic glance, that simultaneously promised she would most definitely make it up to him later. Then she turned her attention back to Shintaro, all business once more. With the matter of Tetsujin currently shelved until the arrival of Shintaro's advisor, Kasumi answered the question posted. "We did not observe any activity around the tower, but it could be that anyone present was inside the structure. It did not seem likely, however; I noticed no lights coming from any openings nor was there any sound that I could detect." Once again, she fell silent to allow Jou his input.

The glance Kasumi shot him is noticed and Jou is glad he wears his mask. The grin it put on his face is more unprofessional. Perhaps being dragged through shadows wasn't that bad after all. He was curious as too what Ming Lee would suggest. So far as Jou was concerned they would need to know more about the mysterious masters motives first. Once the first meeting was resolved then you could properly plan. Still he was no strategist perhaps the old adviser would have something. He nods at Kasumi's words and voices his agreement.
"If there was anyone in it, they weren't active. It would have to be a small force to escape our notice. It should be safe to take."

Dimitri listened in silence as Kasumi and Jou gave their report. It seemed this could indeed be made to work in their favor, the how was not so simple. The meeting would have to occur in order to gleam any more information and make a plan for the immediate future. So he spoke up with an even voice, one of a man thinking. "I suggest accepting the meeting, though ask for it to be a few days from now. That will give us time to prepare. No doubt the suit of armor will be guiding you to the spot, as essentially granting it's master a bodyguard, if a body is even present. I would like to further suggest that you compensate by bringing myself along and allow all three of the shinobi to tail us through the shadows similar to what they have just done now. In that essence, if this goes very far south, we have some assistance." Dimitri fell silent after his words were given. The others were allowed to voice their own opinions on the matter.

"Fine, we shall secure the tower tomorrow." Shintaro decided. With Dimitri's advice Shintaro would agree, "That does sound like an idea. I very much do not want to be made someone's pawn. If I disagree with what they wish to tell me, we may be in for a fight."

Dimitri's words made sense, and Kasumi nodded in agreement with them as the man spoke. "This is indeed a fine idea. For now, with your permission, Jou-san and I will go speak with Akiyama-san, and then we shall retire for the night." She was clearly tired, her brown eyes swimming with exhaustion above her face mask. For a shinobi to show such weakness, Kasumi was obviously pushing her limits.

"Then I shall lead you to her tent. It is not far, but I do ask that you not put her through any strenuous activity until after tomorrow. She still has wounds that need to properly bind." With that said, Dimitri left the command tent and made his way towards Akiyama's abode. Should the others follow, he would provide introductions for them.

The fact that Nishida welcomed The Watcher back meant he was aware of his departure. The Watcher entered the tent, his head nearly bumping against the entrance at first. "My lord... I've come with a request" The Watcher presented himself before Nishida, standing a few feet from him. "The man who sent me to your side... He wishes to meet you" He spoke plainly. |

"Wherever, whenever you wish my lord. He is not bothered by the wait I am sure... All you need to do is call" The Watcher then just stood there having finished his sentence, as if he was waiting for an order or something. The emptiness in the slits of his helmet was sometimes a little unsettling, especially due to his size and unpredictability.

Jou takes Kasumi by the hands. There was little point in trying to hide their relationship and they were off duty now. Leading her out of the tent he tracks down the other shinobi. When he finds Akiyama he eyes her curiously. The most striking thing is her eyes, bright emerald green. An odd coloration if she was Katashiman. Given her obvious training he had assumed she was from their country. Could she have foreign blood or was she from another place entirely. Seeing as he was the friendly one in the partner ship he steps forward and gives Akiyama an easy going smile.
"You must be Akiyama-San. I am Okamoto, Jou and this is my partner Takaishi, Kasumi. I saw you during the battle very impressive. I bet you are even better when you are allowed to do the work you were trained for. Big battle like that are no place for shinobi."

Having been dragged out of the tent by Jou, after receiving Shintaro's blessing to depart, she pulled her mask down with a sigh of relief. She was so tired. Battling like that wasn't in her preferred repertoire of skills. Still, she kept it well hidden as she let Jou guide her - apparently following in Dimitri's wake - toward the tent of the new kunoichi. When they came to a stop, she released her partner so he could greet the new girl. Being introduced, she dipped her head in a quick, polite nod, but didn't smile. Her smiles were rare and usually reserved for Jou. "Jou-san speaks true. You did quite well. I look forward to working alongside you."
