She didn't feel less guilthy, her mind was still very confused and exhausted. The feeling of Gin her nose on her shoulder instantly made Nakatani feel a wave of relief wash over her. The animal was gentle and the warmth of her breath was soothing. She petted the horse gently over her velvet like soft nose while she listened to Kojuro and Yasuke. "I can do that," she said as Yasuke explained to her what she needed to do. "But Kojuro needs to lead Gin, I can't hold the reins at the same time," she said a little bit anxious. She knew Gin would not throw her off, but she wasn't as confident in leading her home. Luckily this gave her a good excuse.
When Yasuke approached her to help her on the horse, her first reaction was to back away from him. Anytime he seemed to get in her personal space, a weird feeling of fear overtook her, even if she didn't know why it did herself. It took her a few good breaths before she could tell him it was okay to help her up.
Once on the horse she gently searched for the wound on Kojuro's abdomen and pressed down on it firmly, hoping it would not cause him to much pain, and if it did she apologized. her other arm she wrapped gently around him the other way, embracing him against herself with her chest closely against his back. Her face resting against one of his shoulders and once again she was able to calm down.

Dedicated
Lord of Kiyonai
Roleplay posts: 354
Age: 23
Physical Description: Kojuro stands at a little above average height, and a slender, athletic build. His dark brown hair falls to just beneath chin level, and he usually wears it tied back. His eyes are a bright brown colour, so light as to be close to orange. He is usually well but simply dressed, and carries himself with a relaxed air, taking most things in his stride. He has several recently acquired scars, including a sword cut to his left arm which has left him only partial use of that hand, and a another from a sword cut along his jawline on the right side.
Clothes and Equipment: He is normally dressed in conventional attire for his culture and social class. As a lord, his clothing is high quality, though not ostentatious. For everyday wear a simple kosode and hakama, silk courtly robes for official duties, and armour on the battlefield. He prefers greens and blues, though often may be wearing the maroon and gold of the Hizashi clan.
In battle he can be noticed from a distance by the dragonfly crest on his helmet. He also wears a surcoat in Hizashi maroon and gold and a set of lacquered armour bearing the Hizashi clan cherry blossom crest. In battle he is armed with a tachi (long sword) and a tanto (dagger), and also carries a fan to signal orders. He will also be found carrying his swords everywhere, as is usual for samurai.
Allegiances: Tawakoshi, The Hizashi Clan

He nodded to Yasuke. He seemed to have things figured out, so Kojuro just trusted he knew what he was doing. But before they got going, he had one question. He drew Yasuke close enough to talk to him in a whisper out of earshot -he hoped- of Nakatani. "Those men we killed - was one of them the masked ronin? Did you see him?" he asked, looking him directly in the eyes. Was it all over and done, or was the kidnapper still out there on the loose? If he was, he would have to be found and killed. "Make sure we get him," he said, knowing he might not be in a state to give orders later.
Yasuke was impressively strong, and had Kojuro on Gin's back in one swift move before he even really registered what was happening. He took hold of the reins, looping the cord over his left hand to keep a grip on it. Nakatani was placed behind him, and as Yasuke had instructed her, put her hand over Kojuro's wound and pressed on it firmly to try to stop or at least slow the bleeding. The pain was already bad but it raised to a level of being barely tolerable as Nakatani applied pressure and kept it there. A groan escaped from his throat, and his breathing was shallow and fast, but when she apologised, he shook his head and replied, "its alright." Better to be in pain and alive than stupidly bleed to death on the way home. Her arms were wrapped around him and she leaned against his back, it was a comforting closeness, and he knew that the last thing she wanted was to cause him pain. He rested his right hand along her forearm, the only part of her that he could reach totouch.
The journey home was not a comfortable one. Gin, thankfully, did not need much in the way of directing from Kojuro, she just followed Yasuke's horse, albeit not wishing to go too fast in deference to the condition of her riders. Kojuro drifted. The pain took him to the verge of passing out several times, only to jolt him back to consciousness as it fluctuated from bad to worse. But still, he managed to keep his seat with Naka holding him from behind, and in time the Hizashi Mansion would start to become visible from between the trees, and he was still alive.
