Ketsueki hadn't even been aware of how drowsy she had became, starting awake when Nakatani spoke up. She brought a hand up to rub at her eyes, and turned her head to look around. When had the woman brought in a futon? No, she had - she must be that worn down. But at least that meant the woman wasn't going to be uncomfortable while she slept. That was something comforting on her mind.
She nods and makes her way over to the bed of the guest stay, almost dropping dead under the blanket and onto the pillows. Whatever that was she had been chewing, it really was strong. Maybe she actually could have peaceful sleep tonight.

Nakatani would walk with her to her bed and stroke her head a few more times before the woman would fall into a deep sleep. A genuine smile could be found on Naka's face as it might have been the first time she had seen Ketsueki in true peace.
She then served herself a cup of tea and picked up her book. It would be a long night for Naka, but she would manage. Staying alert to arise to any sign of the nightmares that had haunted Ketsueki for a long time now. Though, of course, she hoped that would not happen and the woman would find a dreamless sleep.

It would likely be a very quiet night - Ketsueki would hardly turn in her sleep, let alone threaten to wake. It was a peaceful blackness over the course of the evening and the early morning. The woman would ease out of her slumber several hours later, just as the sky began to turn pitch black as it became the darkest before the dawn.
She would carefully open her eyes to find she was lying comfortably in the bed, the room still quiet and calm. Her body was very relaxed, the most she had felt since arriving in Tawakoshi. A part of her didn't want to move, even though she was well rested. She eventually would lift herself into sitting up, taking a moment to stretch.
It was odd. She felt almost normal for the moment.

The night would be uneventfull and Nakatani would reaf her book throughout the night with just a small candlelight to light her pages. Many times she would doze off softly, just to wake herself up again and pour another cup.
When the morning was coming closer to it and the festival in the background had more then calmed down. Most people would have gone home, went back to their guest quarters or were past out drunk somewhere in the yard. The latter of it would be removed roughly in the morning when the first guard took their shifts.
When Ketsueki roused awake and rose from her bed Nakatani once again forced herself to be awake. "Good morning Ketsueki-san." Her speech would be disturbed with a big yawn before she could continue to speak. "You seen to have slept very well." She smiled, her eyes with dark rings from staying awake and her hair slightly ruffled from the times she had leaned on her arm. A state that very few of the people in the mansion had ever seen her in.

Ketsueki had almost felt like smiling at the comment, but seeing the state the woman was in made her frown. This was why she didn't want Nakatani staying up all night looking over her - the poor woman looked exhausted.
"... good morning. I did, but I think you should get some sleep today. You look very much ready to lie down at this moment."

She smiled at that, realizing just how miserable she must have looked. The last thing Ketsueki needed was to feel guilty over her. "I think I will Ketsueki-san." she said kindly before she got up a bit wobbly. "I am just very glad you were able to get some sleep yourself, you look rejuvenated!" she said with as much reassurance as she could manage in her voice. "Will you be fine on your own?"

Ketsueki eased herself out of bed and to stand, moving over to Nakatani's side to help her stand and ensure she didn't fall over. The poor thing looked so tired.
"I will - I just want you to get some rest. I can't express my gratitude enough for what you've done for me just to ensure I'm well." If allowed, she would carefully settle a hand at the woman's elbow as a safe point to help guide her - she had every intention to walk the woman back to her room and tuck her into bed. It was the least she could do.

Nakatani would gladly take Ketsueki's arm to keep her up and walking. "It was my pleasure Ketsueki-san." she answered to her words.
She would let Ketsueki lead her to her room and would yawn once more as she was settled down in her own bed. Before Ketsueki left she would take her hand to stop her for a bit. "We will still go to the Shrine together if you wish Ketsueki-san. I will come look for you once I have rested up." she said kindly with a smile on her face.

A faint smile would tug at the woman's lips at the offer, and she would tug the blanket up and over the woman to make sure she was covered and warm.
"I still look forward to the walk, Nakatani-san - when you are rested." A gentle pat of her hand was made atop the blanket before she returned to her feet and made her way back to her stay in the guest room. She wasn't sure what she might do in the meantime, but at least she felt much more at ease than she had in a long while.

Nakatani would smile back at her before her eyes would close. It would not take long before she would fall into a deep sleep, exhausted from the hours she had missed. She usually held a strict schedule of when she slept, so missing her usual hours had been hard on her. She was sure she would be well rested once she woke again.

The festival had come and gone and Nakatani had rested up after her night less sleep. It was well in the afternoon when she once again arrived before the guest room. She would knock on the door and upon an answer would enter it.
She bowed down and smiled at Ketsueki. She looked very refreshed and her hair had been done in a cute updo with a few strands hanging lose around her face. Her Kimono was a mostly soft blue one with tiger lilies embroidered on the silk in a diagonal pattern, accompanied by a dark blue obi. "Good afternoon Ketsueki-san. You ready for our trip to the shrine?" she smiled sweetly at her.

Nakatani would find the room quiet, and Ketsueki had apparently returned to her bed - despite the fact she had been well rested upon the morning. And strangely enough, the blankets had been pulled well up over her shoulders - only the dark hair of the top of her head visible upon her pillow. Not a sound came from her... odd.

"Ketsueki-san?" she tried again. Only after her second try she was starting to get worried and would walk up to the little bundle that was laying down on the bed. She sat herself down on the bed and started to gently shake her shoulder.
"Are you feeling alright Ketsueki-san?"

Ketsueki didn't move at all when Nakatani sat beside her. When a gentle hand settled upon her and shook, the woman would be able to feel the kunoichi trembling.
In truth, the blanket was covering the predicament the woman was in. Her back was to Nakatani, the obi having been stripped and torn in two to gag her with one part and bind her wrists behind her with the other. The kimono had been yanked down her shoulders to pool at her bound hands and her waist, leaving her partially stripped - and revealing a clear branding of exile fresh against the back of her shoulder.

When she felt the trembling she immediatly took the blanket of of her, but norhing could have prepared her for what she would meet beneith them.
A gasp would leave Nakatanis mouth and the first thing that came to her was to look around her, trying to find the person who did it. She would then quickly start to untie Ketsueki, though her clumsyness was making it a slow process. She removed the gag before she did anything else.
"What happened! Who did this? Why didn't anyone come to help you Ketsueki-san? The guards were supposed to be close to your room at all times."

The poor woman let out a choked sob when the gag had been removed. When her hands were free she tugged the folds of her kimono closed about her chest but left her shoulder bare - the place where she had been branded was extremely sensitive. Between the mark and her eyes still filled with tears, it was clear it had hurt.
"Th-They, They got in... shadows. The sh-shinobi - they got in..."

"Guards!" she screamed out right after Ketsueki told her what happened as she continued help untie her.
The guards soon arrived in the room, skipping any etiquette they would have usually showed. "Please inform Lord Genji that there are unknown Shinobi in the mansion and make sure they are found. They have hurt our guests under our own roof." she told them and they soon were off again.
"Do you know why they left you here instead of taking you Ketsueki-san?" she looked at her worried and eyes over the mark. The burn was deep and bright red with small blisters forming around it. "We should cool this down, are you alright to move to the bathing area?"

Carefully, Ketsueki would attempt to shift her position to sit up and face more so towards Nakatani - still holding the folds of her kimono tightly at her chest. Her eyes were darting across the room, looking to all the corners and every shadow that was cast.
"Th-They said I was lucky - morning. So many p-people... couldn't drag me out." She would lean towards the woman for a sense of comfort, also ready to stand and move - the idea of anything, even water, running over that fresh burn was a bit unnerving but she would try.

"Then at least we were lucky in some regards. I am sure they will be found and the mansion will be fortified so it won't happen again." she said, hoping to calm Ketseki's nerves.
She would help her get up and would hold into her tight, an arm around her to help her feel protected.

Due to her grief, she was unfit for a new partner for a long time. She now has refound herself again and is ready for a new chapter in her life. Due to the fiance's early death, she remains a maiden.

They would be requested to take off their shoes before they entered the wooden floor. They would walk through the elegant walkways of the mansion. On both side paper walls and sliding doors could be soon, occasionally painted with beautiful arts. Maids were still making their rounds and would make deep bows towards Sayuri as she passed by. She would return each one of them with a small nod of her head to show her appreciation for them.
Eventually, they would stop and would be shown into a spacious room. There was a small table with pillows to sit on and a small vase with native flowers on it. There also were two beds spread out and a balcony that had a beautiful view over the courtyard.
"You have to forgive me Jamil-sama, Zakiyah-sama. We were not sure if one or two rooms would be required. If you wish to be in separate rooms feel free to let me know and I will have another prepared right away."
