-- Enter Guest Room (from Main Gate) --
There were so many rooms and people to greet and she felt that though she might be able to walk around freely, she would get lost relatively quickly without some kind of guide to get her from place to place.
"You have my respect, Nakatani-san. I think even if I was here for ten years I would find it hard to navigate this place." Haya said and smiled. She thought that this kind of girl had a larger influence on the house than the lordship probably gave her credit for. Most likely she knew exactly what people liked and she seemed to work hard to provide it to the best of her ability. Haya couldn't forget the bruises though, and when Haya mentioned that dangerous people were about, her face clearly expressed fear. Haya bit her lip trying not to say anything, but hoped the lords of the house didn't treat her badly. But what if they were? What could she do about it anyway being their guest?
"I'm grateful! You're really helpful!" Haya said and bowed as she was about to say she didn't need anything right now - but she didn't feel like being passive right now, or she'd just overthink things. It was a pity, because the room was so delicately decorated, that you couldn't help but notice. "I hope I'm not going to be too much trouble, but as I mentioned I don't feel like resting. Do you have a place where I could train with my sword? I am a samurai, so my skills mustn't wilt away - even in a beautiful house like this and with this kind of service." Haya said and winked with a warm smirk. She new all to well, that comfort was what dulled you blade the most of all.

Nakatani could do nothing but smile at Haya's words. The mansion might seem like a labyrinth to her, but if she would pay attention she would soon have learned that a lot of thought had been put into building it. The corridors and hallways all were parallel to each other and followed a certain pattern that was easy to learn. The front of the building was made to be accessible to guests and visitors, while the back of the building was reserved for Genji-dono himself and his relatives and close lords and friends. It was all in their proper places for the one who was willing to see the logic behind it. But that wasn't the moment to talk with Haya about it. For now she was fine with the woman thinking it was just a labyrinth that was hard to navigate.
"You will find it a very hard task to become too much trouble, Furusawa-sama. After all I am here to make sure you have a pleasant stay." she bowed once more out of respect. "We have a dojo that is open to anyone to practice in, or if you would prefer the fresh air you are free to practice in the courtyard as well."

Haya would smile and chuckle a bit when hearing Nakatani's words.
"I'm sure no one in the house is too much trouble for you, Nakatani-san. You're so helpful!" Haya said. It might have sounded patronizing, but Haya meant nothing of that sort. "I only have my katana and wakizashi so I'm quite ready." Haya said and grabbed their sheaths to show it. "Can you please show me the way to the dojo, Nakatani-san?" she asked politely and would follow if she obliged.

Thought Haya's comment seemed a bit odd to Naka she just smiled at it. Surely Haya meant it in a nice way. She didn't seem like the type to patronize her. "Of course Furusawa-san, if you would follow me." she bowed and then would lead her out of the guest room again, making sure the door would be closed behind her. Again she would lead them through a series of hallways. They would run into several servants who were cleaning the floors, changing bedding of other guests an handling trays of tea. All of them would stop, move out of the way and bow to Furusawa as well as smile at Nakatani. She was known to be one of the kindest around here and had helped out every single one of them one way or another.
Finally, they would step outside into the afternoon sunlight with a big building just a small walk away from them. Even here the gardens around it were beautifully decorated with tall big trees, bushed and a lot of different flowers. "That would be Dojo." Naka smiled as she pointed towards the building. The front doors would already be open, giving a glimpse of the inside of it.

Haya would follow Nakatani through the various routes - which still made little sense to her - but she enjoyed seeing how they were apparently meticulously panned out and she had now doubt, that there was some kind of greater plan with everything. She just didn't quite see it yet. She noticed how Nakatani was generally treated with great respect and the servants seemed to acknowledge Haya too and she would try to return a similar smile and bow to each and everyone greeting her. She thought about the bruises again and reckoned it was probably not the servants who were to blame, unless there was some kind of jealousy. But she seemed very relaxed among them something you wouldn't be if you feared them.
But as they turned around a corner, they suddenly stood face to face with a samurai with a cold stare that definitely had a presence and Haya instinctively tensed up and felt her hand wanting to reach for her sword. She resisted though, but there was something about this guy. Did she know him? She glanced at Nakatani. Did they know each other?

Yasuke would walk along the hallways going towards his room after having completed his training in the dojo. But right before he would pass a corner, Nakatani and a pretty lady who appeared to be a guest of the house stepped out in front of him. He would still try to avoid Nakatani when possible, but as he noticed that their guest was wearing a katana and probably was headed to the dojo, he needed to sate his curiosity. Who knew, she could be important? And important information made for a fat sacks of gold.
"Oh hello Nakatani-san." he said politely and nodded slightly. "Who's our guest there?" he asked and tried to figure out by the looks of her, though he didn't quite get any hints from just that.

As soon as they came around the corner and Yasuke came into view, Nakatani would tense up and keep a distance. She seemed reluctant to pass him. Just like the last couple of days, she felt tense around him, even if she did not know why. She had told herself that she had no reason to fear Yasuke, that he, in fact, was the one that had seen her that day and warned Kojuro about her kidnapping, but still, there was an unconscious part of her that feared him. She had told herself that it was just because he had been the first voice she had heard after that of the kidnappers.
"H-hello Yasuke-san." her voice skipped, something that didn't happen to her often at all. "This is Furusawa-san, an honored guest under the Hizashi. She will remain in the mansion as long as she would require. I was just leading her toward the dojo for training." She didn't bow, she didn't smile and she didn't look up at him at all while she was talking. She kept her eyes down to her feet.

They did seem to know each other, but at the same time the servant girl also seemed startled by his presence as heard by her voice skipping. Both her and Haya seemed weary of this guy - for reasons that weren't completely obvious to her. Haya bowed politely but still for some reason wanted to grasp her katana for defense.
"Nice to meet you Yasuke-san." Haya said, though it definitely sounded as if she wasn't comfortable with him. Suddenly it was as if she recognized him. Well... not his name and not his attire, but his figure, facial details and the way he spoke. This was no doubt the same man her colleagues had caught many years ago near her home town. She wasn't a part of the force that apprehended him, but she had gotten a good look at him. How on earth had he become samurai in House Hizashi? She remembered that they had failed to convict him of any of the crimes he was charged for, and the soldiers lamented their bad luck for weeks when having to set him free again.
Haya kept her outwardly composure, but inside her she froze and her heart skipped a beat. Hopefully that guy didn't recognize her, but what was she supposed to do? He looked like he walked this mansion with confidence and surely making accusations about such a guy would be out of the question. Also it wasn't at all why she was here. Haya tried to push it out of her mind, but when she caught a glance of the servant girl it was as if she understood that at least this girl had to know what this was all about. In her mind though, Haya didn't immediately connect the brusings on her wrists to this man.

Yasuke thought the atmosphere was a little tense but simply nodded at Nakatani and this Furusawa-san woman. She seemed about his age and maybe slightly older, but she was certainly an elegant beauty. Maybe with a bit of luck he would get to see her later, and then he could show her Kiyonai if she was new to the towm. He then smiled at the samurai woman while trying not avoid eye contact with Nakatani as she still seemed somewhat distrustful of his intentions. Hell, that had to stop at some point.
"Well I've warmed it up for you, Furusawa-san. Have a good training and I'll see you both around!" he said with a friendly smirk before he bowed and passed them.

The moment Yasuke had passed her a relieved and deep sigh left Nakatani's body. She hated the feeling that grasped at her whenever she saw Yasuke, especially since the didn't know why they happened. She took a few more second to collect her own thoughts and mind before she turned back to Haya, her usual kindness and smile already back on her face. "Shall we continue then? Furusawa-sama?" she asked friendly and started to lead them on to the courtyard and towards the dojo. There was no reason for Nakatani to talk to Furusawa about Yasuke, after all what was there to talk about? He was the men who had saved her from terrible bandits together with Kojuro, so why was she afraid?

Haya was supposed to be a samurai and thus being able to calm her feelings, though at this moment she felt far from that. She didn't even say goodbye to him when he had implied they might meet each other later. Haya nodded at Nakatani's suggestion and followed her along the path towards the dojo, but it still felt as if a knife was pressing towards her throat.
"Nakatani-san..!" she said and stopped abruptly along the path. "Please don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure you really know who that guy is? I mean do you know his family and how he became a samurai?" Haya asked. She had meant to just tell Nakatani of why she recognized him, but had changed her mind in the last second, wanting to ensure that Nakatani wouldn't take offense to what she was about to tell her.

Nakatani couldn't help but bite down on her lip when Haya talked to her about knowing who Yasuke was. The truth was she didn't. "All I know is that Yasuke-san has earned the favor of Kojuro-dono after fighting a battle against a band of bandits. I also know he saved Kojuro-dono's life after sustaining an injury and brought him back to the mansion in the best condition he could have." was all Nakatani was able to say to her. For some reason she intentionally left out the part where he had saved her from the bandits, feeling like it wasn't a part that belonged in the story. "I do not know of his background, neither will I. I am just a servant Furusawa-sama, I don't get told why someone becomes a samurai of the Hizashi family." she smiled kindly.

"In the best condition he... could have..." Haya said muted tasting the words as if they bore a resemblance to something she had experienced before. It was of course true, that as a servant she likely wasn't informed of such things as the family of a samurai, but Haya knew that most samurai were more than happy to tell people of their heritage. "Well, back at my clan most of the time you'd have to outright shut your ears to avoid hearing about it!" Haya chuckled though she quickly returned to a more serious demeanor. "I haven't heard about any other samurai named 'Sou', and likely that prying guy Yamazaki at the gates haven't either." Haya said with a wry smile.
"The thing is..." Haya said and looked right and left ensuring no one else could hear her. "Last time I saw that face and heard that voice, he wasn't a samurai." Haya said. "It was about 5 or 6 years ago in my village where he was arrested and charged with a crime I don't remember. But I do remember that when they couldn't prove it was him my colleagues lamented their luck when for weeks when they had to release him again. Luckily I don't think he remembered me." Haya said. She knew she was walking on dangerous grounds here, and that this clan's hospitality may not extend very far if she was seen as the kind of person who spread bad rumors. But she was willing to take that chance, knowing instinctively that she had to. Though she was never personally harmed she still remembered the frustration her colleagues felt at that time.

Upong hearing Haya's words Nakatani's eyes started to shift towards the floor and her smile disappeared. Her eyes would go from one of her feet to the other as if she was looking for something. And that something was inside of her head. If what Haya was saying was true, then Yasuke was a bad person, could that be related to the things she was feeling towards him? Had she heard about this somewhere before, somehow? No, she was sure she hadn't. She had heard talk about many things, but she was very good at remembering names. After all some of the rumors she heard as the main servant were played directly towards Lord Genji. It was a thing she had always done to ensure the safety of the Hizashi estate for him.
"You need to find out what he was charged for." was all she could say. She needed another piece of this puzzle that had been going rapidly in her mind. Nightmares had followed her since that very day and everytime his voice seemed to appear instead of the voice of her captor. In fact she didn't even remember the voice of her capture any longer, it was all Yasuke's voice.
Her thoughts were spinning out of control, just thinking about possibly finding an answer provided by this stranger who came upon the Hizashi would be a dream come true. She would find her piece and be able to punish the one responsible. But she didn't have any proof, even if Haya came to be sure about him being a criminal and according to her, he had gotten away with it before. It didn't take long before her legs gave out on her, emotion overtaking her. Though she didn't cry, she simply lost her strength and had to sit down.
But just as quickly as she had lost her demeanor, she realized how inappropriate she was acting towards one of the guests of the Hizashi. "I am very sorry Furusawa-sama," she said as she started to try and get back on her feet. "I have not been... feeling very well recently. I hope you will forgive me for my rudeness." She then bowed deeply to the woman in front of her, feeling embarrassed about getting carried away.

"I know it's a bold claim, but it's not that easy finding out what he was charged for at that time. The annals don't record people being prosecuted without getting sentenced to some kind of punishm..." Haya said trying to excuse herself before she saw Nakataki's leg's give in under her. She now understood that it wasn't because the servant girl was skeptical but because her line of thinking had her know, that it was indeed possible. What could that guy have done, that made her feel react like that?
Haya bend down on one knee and put her warm hand on Nakatani's shoulder.
"I won't say 'don't be afraid', because sometimes that's a good thing." she said comfortingly as Nakatani got up. "You don't have to excuse yourself to me. Where I come from feelings aren't something that we should keep hidden and I'm taught they can come at any time." she said and observed Nakatani. How much did Haya want to press this subject? "Nakatani-san." she said and for the first time addressed the servant girl by her name. "It would be rude for me to try to pry your thoughts from your head, but it's obvious to me that we have something to talk about." she said and with warm but somewhat more serious demeanor.

Tears suddenly started to flow from the corners of her eyes after Haya had started to talk to her so gently and calm. "I am sorry." she said again as she sobbed slightly, almost laughing at the fact that she was apologizing for having apologized.
Only after she started talking again Nakatani's face changed. She knew it wasn't her place to talk about these things and with Kojuro still being unconscious and possibly fighting his life, Naka didn't know if this was what she needed to focus on. But it had been on her mind and it was not going to leave it anytime soon. So she nodded to Haya. "I believe so. I would rather not talk about such matters right here in the hallway," she said as she looked around her. Anyone could turn around the corner at any time in such a place. And right at that moment, that exact thing happened as someone came around the corner. Nakatani fastly wiped her tears away before they could be noticed and turned back to Haya. "Would you like me to escort you back to your room, Furusawa-san?" she then said with her usual smile.

Haya smiled and sympathized with Nakatani. It sure wasn't easy dealing with emotions when one tried to remain professional.
"Yes, let's not have everyone listen in on things like that." Haya conceded and was more than happy not to risk someone listening in on them. Especially one specific person. "Yes please escort my back to my room." Haya said and hope they might be able to speak a bit more freely back there. "I too believe in taking small steps when learning something new. So next time I'm heading to the dojo, I'll probably know my way until this point at least!" she said and smiled, trying to lighten the tense atmosphere a bit.

And so they would walk back through the hallways to the way they came. On the way Nakatani made sure that fresh tea would be prepared for them and brought to Haya's room so they could at least have their conversation with a cup of tea to drink from. After all, holding a cup or pouring tea still felt like a defensive mechanism for Nakatani. Noone would think rude of her to think over her words for a few moments, if those moments were taken by taking a sip of her drink.
So they would wait for a couple of minutes in the room till the tea had been brought before they were able to talk. Nakatani felt tense and still wasn't sure why she was even about to tell these things to Haya. She was a stranger and even if she seemed to be familiar with Yasuke, even she had no proof that he ever committed a crime before. "I as well suspect that Sou-san has done some things that should not go unpunished, but I am afraid I don't hold any prove either," she said as she poured both of their cups with a fragrant pomegranate and orange blossom tea. She bit her lip before she continued to talk and made sure to put down the teapot before she said anything else.
"A few days ago I was kidnapped away from a shrine that I frequently visit. There are not many others who go there so I have reason to believe I was targetted. I was tied and blindfolded and taken to a cabin for questioning. If you don't mind I would like to refrain from telling you about what the questions were. After my kidnapper left me guarded by other outlaw and left himself, to where I am unsure. It was a good hour, maybe more, before I heard sounds outside. It seems that Sou-san had seen me being taken and had gone back to the mansion to inform Kojuro-sama about it. Together they came to rescue me." She paused, her hands trembling slightly around the cup she was holding, the liquid just barely not spilling out. "Every time I hear his voice, a panic settles deep inside of me. A fear that I can't explain. I don't remember the voice of my kidnapper, just Sou-san's voice... I can't help but think that that fear means something. Do you think Sou-san could have framed this? To make a good name for himself within the Hizashi clan?"

Haya would have a hard time putting on a fitting expression while they waited for their tea and when it finally arrived she quickly put the cup to her mouth sipping the tea, happy to finally have an excuse for being silent. Apparently jokes hadn't been the thing at this moment and she'd take a note of that for future reference. After Nakatani had - rather suddenly - chosen to lay it all on the table, Haya was slightly astounded to hear what had happened to the servant girl and quickly put her hand on hers when she saw them shaking.
"Easy now, Nakatani-san. That's no small thing right there..!" she said, and wished she had been even more respectful towards her feelings when bringing this up. But at least it seemed like her feeling when deciding to tell her was right.
"Feelings can both betray and lead you. All I can say is that my feeling was to bring this up, and I think this was a good idea though I'm horrified to hear about this. Especially if what your say turns out to be true." Haya said and mused. "Sometimes when these things happen we tend to forget the most obvious things. Maybe if we go through what we know things seem clearer?" she proposed.
"I wonder if you have spoken to Yasuke prior to the kidnapping? And did he say anything that could make it plausible that he was targeting you?" Haya asked softly allowing Nakatani to think thoroughly about the question she asked.

Her shaking stopped slightly when Haya had taken her hands. She started to bite down on her lip hoping that would keep her tears from starting to float. She hadn't meant to accuse Yasuke Sou so openly, but the words had just escaped her mouth. Words that had been stuck running in her mind and driving her crazy during the hours she would spend in Kojuro's room.
"I know." she whimpered softly, it really was wrong what she had just said. She didn't have any prove to back it up. "I had only spoken to him once before. He had tried to.. gain my favor," she was lost for a better word. "Perhaps thinking that as a servant girl I would be impressed by his stature and title. He seemed very interested in my relationship to Lord Genji, trying to find out if I had ever been with him..." she answered, trying to recall the things that they had talked about before in this same guest room.
