She would lean into him when his lips turned her once more, her mind lost in the feelings that rushed through her body. Only when Kojuro pulled back from her she got pulled out and became aware of the voice that was coming from the door. When Kojuro made a shushing motion towards her, she could only put her hands over her mouth and give a nervous giggle, as softly as she could manage.
Her hair was a mess, a really saggy bun now hanging close to her neck and strands of hair surrounding her round face on all sides. Her kimono had fallen off one of her shoulders slightly and her obi was visually loosened by the touching that Kojuro had done to it. Still, she did not care. She touched her own lips while Kojuro was talking to the guard. They still tingled slightly and when she closed her eyes she could feel his lips kiss her once again. She had never kissed anyone before and had never imagined it would be this intense or this sudden, even when she was the one that had moved first. The flames that had filled her body were slowly fading away and she knew that soon they would disappear as well, even when she did not want them too.
When Kojuro put the half tied sleeve towards him she couldn't help but giggle again. That was right, she had come here to put on armor. "Yes, Kojuro-san," she said with a warm smile, her whole face still slightly flushed this time, not just her cheeks. She would start to fasten the rest of the ties and help him put on the rest of his armor.

Kojuro let her finish the one sleeve, but before she went any further with the rest of the armour pieces, he put his hand and on her arm to stop her. He crouched down to pick up the comb she had dropped earlier when he had been running his hands through her hair. "Nakatani-san," he said, "I'm not the only one who needs to finish off their outfit." Perhaps she hadn't noticed, but her hair and kimono looked in a little disarray. Not so much as made her appearance indecent, but enough for anyone to wonder what she had been up to to get that way. Kojuro ran his hand down the collar of her kimono as he looked softly into her eyes, and gently tugged it back into position. It wasn't something she couldn't do herself, but the opportunity to touch her again was too good to miss, even if it was just a kimono collar. He looked aside from her eyes, stroking a tendril of hair that was hanging loose. "Let me do this, once the gloves are on, it will be too late. Turn around," he whispered close in her ear, putting his hands on her upper arms and encouraging her to turn her back to him. If Nakatani had no objections, Kojuro slid the ribbon form her hair that was still half holding onto her bun, though most of the hair had escaped, and smoothed her hair straight, before he started slowly and carefully untangling it with the comb she had dropped.

She was more than just a bit surprised when he stopped her, after all, it was him who had asked her to start putting his armor on again. Only when he started to explain herself she was made to look down at the disarray that was her kimono and brought up a hand to feel the mess that her hair had become. She gave a small giggle as he started to readjust her kimono. When he had straightened the collar she would tuck some of the fabric into her obi so it would not move again.
Then she would turn around, a slight blush on her face as she smiled. A geishas kimono was always tucked slightly down at the neck. She had been taught that showing that part of your skin to any man was a very intimate gesture. Even now it felt like she was once again showing a part of herself to Kojuro that she had not shown to many others. It would not last long however, as her hair was soon tumbling down around her shoulders and the naked skin was covered once again.
The comb ornament was usually not meant to actually comb someone's hair with. The comb pins were there to make it stick into someone's hair, but for now, it seemed to serve its purpose. She closed her eyes as she could feel the pins massage her scalp gently and from time to time Kojuro's hand would brush the skin of her neck. It was very soothing and relaxing, a very serene feeling where she could empty her head from all the thoughts that had run through it in the past half hour that she had been with Kojuro. She knew the combing would not last long, as they still needed to put a lot of the armor on. She could only hope that it would last just a few minutes more.

Kojuro wished they had longer together as he combed Nakatani's hair much to her apparent enjoyment. However, he made sure not to linger over it as much as he wanted to. It was an innocent thing, to comb a woman's hair, and yet incredibly intimate. On some other occasion, maybe they would have time to make such a moment last. He ran his hand one last time over the length of her hair, relishing its soft and silky texture on his fingertips. Once he had finished, he gently turned her back towards him, and held out the comb to her for her to take, with a smile. If she was going to put her hairstyle back as it was, she would have to do the rest herself.
"Now we should finish what we started," he said, taking hold of the second sleeve and sliding his right arm into it, letting Nakatani adjust the lacings, using the left arm as a guide. From now on the armour proved a barrier to him to touching her again, which was just as well, seeing as how incredibly distracting her presence and nearness was to him. Once that was done, he would offer instructions as to how the rest of the armour went on, the next part was the do, which covered the body down to the waist, and from there down armoured flaps hung which overlapped the thigh guards, and fastened to the side with cords.

When he stopped, she couldn't help but sigh. It was always too short. She would turn around and take the string from Kojuro and tie her hair up once again. She was quite practiced at it and before long a gentle but simple bun was once again on the back of her head, only a few strands of hair escaping as they always seemed to and shape around her face. When he offered her back the comb, she would look at it for a few seconds. She would take it in her hands, but instead of tucking it in her hair, she would teasingly place it in Kojuro's hair. "Take it with you, to remind you to return to me," she said with a gentle smile.
When Kojuro mentioned that they should finish what they started, Naka giggled slightly. For just a moment her mind ran to the thought of kissing him, to finish what she had started, but it wasn't the time to fool around any longer. She would start following his instructions again and help him into the armor that would hopefully protect him from any harm that could possibly come to him. He was soon covered in a thick layer of protection, the shapes of his body completely swallowed by it.

He laughed, taking the comb out of his hair and holding it in his hand. "I couldn't possibly forget you," he replied, "The hard thing will be to not think about returning to you, Nakatani-san" He tucked the comb somewhere inside the lacing of his armoured sleeve, where it couldn't be seen and wouldn't get in the way, yet he would know it was there. She helped him on with the rest of the parts of his armour, and then the kabuto helmet. Kojuro tucked the tanto securely into the front of the belt and hung the tachi on his left side, and finally was completely dressed and ready to present himself for his mission. Once everything was done and checked over a final time, he stood facing Nakatani once again. "Thank you for your help today," he said, "Keep yourself safe while I"m gone." He smiled softly, "And I forbid you to worry about me," he grinned impishly, then his smile faded as he looked into her eyes, and he leaned down to plant a final kiss upon her lips.

So this was it, he really would need to leave now and it would be a while before she could see him again. They finally had found out their feelings for each other and would already need to put it in the back of their minds. She would look him over when his armor had been finished. He truly looked like a leader, like someone who could one day rule the whole place, someone was ready to face the world. All the while she would stay in the mansion, cooking food, cleaning rooms. Compared to his life hers seemed a lot less excited.
She still smiled at him though, and when he forbid her to worry she could only giggle to him once again. "Yes, my Lord," she said with a bit of a teasing tone, right before his lips once again touched her. She leaned in back to him and tilted her head, kissing him back. His scent once again filled her nose and her heart rose in her chest. She wanted to grab his hair once again, but his helmet proved in the way. Maybe that was for the better, otherwise, they would just get lost in each other once again. Now they just had to wait to see who would find the strength to pull away first.

He brought the kiss to an end far more swiftly than the first time, it barely seemed to last more than a moment. Kojuro stood back from her and smiled. Despite not wanting to leave Nakatani, he was glad to be sent out on an official mission, to have a chance to prove himself again. He found that now he was dressed for battle, his mind had become more focused on the outside world, and duty. "Well, I shouldn't keep Hosokawa-dono waiting," he said, lingering a moment despite his words. He drank in the sight of her briefly, one last time. "Fare well until I return, Nakatani-san," he bade her cheerfully, and then he stepped out, on his way to the courtyard and duty.

"Until you return, Kojuro-san." she would say after him. She would watch his back as he left the room, she let a sigh escape her lips as she sat on the tatami floor of his room. She would linger there for moments before she found the strength to get up on her legs. Her resolve was set however, she would not become attached to him to the point where he was all she had. First things first, she would return to cleaning up the mess from the fallen teapot and make sure nothing was left on the table. Only then she would leave the room and resume her tasks around the mansion.
In the following days, she would allow herself one moment every day to pray for his return. She would go to his room, refresh the linen on the bed and clean what needed to be cleaned. Last she would bring a single flower, the most beautiful flower that she could find that day in the gardens around the mansion and leave it in a vase on the table that was in the middle of the room. This way even if he returned without her knowing, there would be a momentum in the room to remind him of her.

Yasuke groaned as he carried Kojuro to his room with one arm over his shoulder and halfway on Yasuke's back. The wound was bleeding again after having been contained pretty well during the ride home. "Come on, somebody get lord Hizashi's sister here..!" Yasuke roared a second time, as the guards seemed frozen and unable to act by the sight that met them. Yasuke grabbed a guard by the the arm on the hallway and dragged him along too. "Not you! You come with me..!" he said as he kicked open the door to Kojuro's private room. "Support him under the other arm and lets get him into the bed!" Yasuke commanded, as they got him laying down. Kojuro's sister Anzen Hizashi hadn't arrived yet, and Yasuke was looking at Kojuro and decided that time was of the essence. He rolled up his sleeves and looked at Nakatani. "We need the bandages changed. Go get water and new bandages as fast as possible!" Yasuke said and turned to Kojuro. The noble looked pitiful as he lay there and for a brief moment his mind flashed back and he thought it was cruious that this time he was saving one. "Okay calm down and breath, Hizashi-dono. If you see a bucket, don't freakin' kick it. It's full of piss, I guarantee it!" he said with a wry smile as he ripped Kojuro's clothes open at the stomach area as well as removing the bandages. He then curled together the cloth he had used to fasten around Kojuro and applied it to Kojuro's wound with a firm push. "I know how you look at her, Hizashi-dono. Don't worry, that secret will be safe with me. And I promise you, that we will get the cloaked guy who started all this - and you'll be alive to punish him good." Yasuke said, making sure only Kojuro heard that. |

The rest of the ride had seemed a blur to Nakatani. Her head was still not in the place where she wanted it to be, small flashes of her captors mask appearing in front of her eyes from time to time. The only thing that seemed to keep her from freaking out was the comfort of Kojuro close to her.
It was only when Yasuke started to shout orders towards her that she snapped back to her usual self. She noticed the stares, the stares that followed both Kojuro and herself. She was dirty, her kimono was in disarray and her hair was tangled. It was a sight that nobody had ever expected to see from Nakatani. The proper servant who was always nicely dressed. But she had no time to worry about herself, her bruises would heal and she could clean herself later. Now it was al about Kojuro.
She would rush out to the servants quarters and gathered an array of bandages and ointments before rushing to the bath area to get as sterile warm water as she possibly could get and soon returned to the room. She would be breathing heavily from the rushing that she had done to come back, making every breath she took incredible painful on her bruised ribs. "I got the water and bandages."

Kojuro was barely hanging onto consciousness as Yasuke half carried him through the mansion. The guards were impressed enough by Yasuke's taking command of the situation to follow his orders and let him through without trouble. He was aware of Yasuke yelling orders, and not too much more, and then he was taken hold of by another set of hands and lowered down onto a futon. Once he was lying down, he almost closed his eyes and let go of the waking world to find some relief from the pain and exhaustion but for Yasuke talking to him emphatically about something that seemed incomprehensible about buckets full of piss, and then opening up his clothing. He was still wearing the outfit he had been training in in the dojo that morning, now rather ruined with other people\s blood and his own, and the hole that the knife had put through it.
He gave a cut-off yelp of pain at the sudden pressure on his wound. Yasuke was much stronger than Nakatani and none too gentle. His words barely registered with Kojuro, it seemed like the time for conversation had passed for now. He just nodded briefly in response. From the pain, the blood loss that made him light-headed and nauseous, and now Yasuke pushing down hard on his upper abdomen, Kojuro lost the battle of willpower he had been fighting against his own body and he suddenly and completely voided the contents of his stomach all over Yasuke's lap. "Sorry," he said in a faint voice, before his body went limp as he passed out.

The not knowing was the worst part. The wait, second. The guilt of having stayed behind and the worry for his life ate at the older Hizashi sibling as she continued to pace, chancing wearing a trench into the floor at her inability to sit still. In Kojuro's absence, Anzen had packed and re-packed a medical bag for at least a dozen different things that could have gone wrong and even now, as she paced, the pack was never more than a couple footsteps away.
Anzen's fingers were wrapped tightly around her favored piece of bamboo, holding it ready as her eyes moved over the same paragraph in the book she held in her opposing hand. Despite having read the same lines over and over again, none of the information seemed to be sticking. Just as she snapped her book closed in frustration, her door burst open.
The look on the guard's pale, green-tinged face spoke volumes. Before any words left his mouth, Anzen had dropped her book to the floor, grabbed her bag, and in a very un-lady-like fashion, took off running to her brother's room. She would arrive it seemed right as he finished emptying the contents of his stomach and fell into unconsciousness.
From the doorway, looking in on his now limp body, Anzen fought tears and the need to stay composed, her lower lip trembling as she called out. "Kojuro? Kojuro!"

As Yasuke kept the pressure firmly on his wound to stop the bleeding he noticed Kojuro was making odd noises as his faced paled. Suddenly the contents of Kojuro's stomach came up and landed on Yasuke's lap. This was was expected, and Yasuke didn't refrain from keeping pressure on Kojuro's wound.
"That's what you get for being that reckless, Hizashi-dono..!" Yasuke said with a slightly sneering voice. He couldn't yet completely comprehend why he had thrown himself in front of Yasuke, and he still needed time to digest his actions. For now 'reckless and stupid' was a sufficient explanation.
"Sorry yeah... Oh hey, don't frickin' pass out!" Yasuke said as he gave Kojuro a few slaps to his cheek, hoping that would wake him up.
At that moment Nakatani returned with bandages and water, and Yasuke stretched out his one arm and received the bandages and water while keeping pressure on the wound with the other. With a sponge Yasuke cleaned his wound quickly.
"I need your help again!" Yasuke said and turned to Nakatani. "Get on other side and rolled the bandages around his stomach while I lift him up so you can it around him." Yasuke said firmly, as Nakatani seemed composed enough to still be of help. If Nakatani agreed to help, Yasuke would lift Kojuro's torso just enough for her to roll the bandages around him a couple of times. In these circumstances Yasuke's stamina would show and he wouldn't even tremble slightly as he held most of Kojuro's body weight up while Nakatani applied the bandages. Hopefully this would contain his blood loss better. "Keep them tight, gentleness won't help right now..!" Yasuke instructed in his own commanding manner.
Yasuke heard a woman calling out Kojuro's name. This time it wasn't Nakatani because it came from the doorway and as he saw the worried woman, he recognized her to be Kojuro's sister.
"Hizashi-sama! I'm afraid your brother has been injured by a stab wound to the abdomen." Yasuke explained, ready to step back if she approached with the intention of treating Kojuro. "I think I have done what I can do now..." Yasuke conceded looking at Kojuro who was still looking none too good.

Nakatani would listen to anything she was being said. Her head was to much in a haze to question anything and she just wanted Kojuro to live. She had taken care of a wound many times before but had never been needed to do the critical care that was required for a wound this extensive and fresh. She would wrap the bandage as tightly as she dared around Kojuro's waist at least a couple of times. Having Yasuke so close to her still gave her the feeling of wanting to run away, but the feeling of staying by Kojuro's side was stronger for now. She was still unsure why she felt the way she did, blaming herself for being needlessly scared and foolish. And even if she had wanted to make sense of it, she couldn't bring up the energy to concentrate enough to rearrange her feelings.
When his name was shouted, Yasuke wasn't the only one who looked up from his work. The moment she laid eyes on Anzen tears started to fill her eyes. She was so glad to see her. Anzen would know what to do, she would be able to take care of her brother in a way that nobody else could. "Anzen-sama.. I am so glad to see you." she could only whisper as she scooted away, making way for Anzen to get closer to him.

Anzen rushed in, her eyes bright with un-shed tears. Too many times had her brother's recklessness put him into her medical care and she was seriously debating being the reason next time.. As she quickly approached her brother, she took the briefest of moments to touch Nakatani's shoulder to reassure the girl and to silently welcome her back home. Anzen did not plan on either of them losing a loved one tonight, she would put her all into this boy's survival.
"How deep is the wound?" The fact that Kojuro had vomited worried her greatly. Placing her bag next to her brother, she began her care by placing one hand against his forehead to feel the heat that radiated then slowly and gently pulling each of his eyes open just enough to judge the how his pupils reacted.
Turning her head to look at Yasuke, the poor soul covered in sick, she grimaced but pointed to the water that Nakatani had brought before pulling a fresh cloth from her own bag. If given the water, she would soak the rag before wringing it out and placing it on her brother's feverish forehead. "How much blood has he lost? How long has he been bleeding?" She asked rapid-fired questions, hoping to learn exactly what kind of intervention her brother needed. The wrappings that were blossoming red only told her so much, but at least they would slow his loss of life.. even if it was only by a little. "Was he delirious or comprehensible?"

Yasuke tried remembering how long the knife was. He had brought it back and it was currently packed on the horse as it seemed like a pretty neatly forged dagger that could well be worth a bit of money despite it being a coward's weapon. Yasuke would frown and try to show the Hizashi sister with his hands approximately how long and wide it was not even noticing her grimacing about him being covered in sick.
"Soo... about this long and this wide. It's kind of a weak man's dagger designed to stab deep but not very apt at cutting." Yasuke explained, as by his hand measurements you could deduct it being about 15 cm long but no wider than 2 og 3 cm. "It isn't jagged, it's just straight." Yasuke added.
Kojuro's sister kept the questions coming and Yasuke tried keeping up with exact answers as he was able.
"How much blood..? I dunno, the horse isn't completely painted red, but he did suffer a bit on the way home. So I would saaay... a lot." Yasuke answered and nodded. "He's been bleeding for a few hours now, but only a lot for a short moment. I managed to stop the bleeding by for the most part by applying bandages." he said and wondered if this was the time to crack the old joke 'Why... Kojuro? He's never really comprehensible! Haha!', but Yasuke bit his tongue in the last moment. "He was comprehensible until I reapplied the bandages a few moments ago." he said and was curious to see what kind of treatment she would give Kojuro based on this information.

Indeed, it was only a few short months ago that Kojuro had arrived back from a mission bleeding from multiple sword cuts requiring Anzen's attention having barely escaped with his life from a three against one battle with some bandits. At that time he had no doubt apologised for worrying her before he had gone out once again to return home in dire need of her services.
In response to Yasuke's slaps a fleeting expression halfway between pain and annoyance ran across Kojuro's face but while he didn't wake up, he didn't appear to be completely dead to the world either. The guard stepped forward with his hand on his sword hilt, not pleased by Yasuke striking the young lord's face, but at the same time, he did nothing more, seeing as Yasuke seemed to be attempting to save Kojuro's life. As Yasuke lifted him and Nakatani wound the bandages, he seemed to register the pain but otherwise seemed completely insensible.
Oblivious to the activity going on around him, Kojuro just lay there. His pupils dilated normally as they reacted to the light when Anzen opened his eyelids, and as she examined him and tried to judge the extent of his injuries she would notice the entry wound an inch or so under his ribs on the left side. Deep bruising had risen to the surface of his add omen, showing that he had been bleeding internally, but fortunately there was no indication that the blade had punctured any of his organs. The cool cloth she placed on his head made a little of the tension in his face relax off a little, but unsurprisingly he still seemed to be in quite a lot of pain.

When Anzen started to focus on the place where the wound was, Nakatani slowly scooted back towards him, still making sure she wasn't in the way of anything. Her face was full of worry, but she couldn't bring herself to shed any more tears then she already had today. Her own mind was still in shambled and she found it hard to concentrate on what was going on. Her finger would softly caress Kojuro's cheeks and chin, hoping it would bring him comfort, even if just a little bit. Her own body felt sore and bruised, but at this moment she did not care much about it.
The words that were being said swept by her and none of them seemed comprehensible to her. It was almost as if they were talking in another language that she couldn't understand. The only thing she could see now was Kojuro's face and the feeling of his skin against her fingers. It almost felt as if she was already preparing herself for the worst possible outcome.

In the days that followed, Kojuro lay in bed. At first unconscious, then with restless fever dreams, and finally in a simple deep sleep as his body started to build on the work Anzen had had begun and slowly heal itself. His life was no longer in any danger after she had worked her magic, but he would need time to recover. After the third day, Kojuro slowly began to wake up, an unknown dream already faded, as he became aware once again of being in his own body, the weight of his limbs, his breath, the searing pain from his wound, which was by far the strongest sensation. Without that, he could easily have dropped back into exhausted sleep again. He thought he heard the sound of someone else in the room, and began to open his eyes, letting the world come into focus once more.
