Clan Yukimoto
Established
Ruled by the Iron Crane
Roleplay posts: 23
Age: Young, "just" created
Physical Description: Located in Mutsonobe, Tokhung, the Yukimoto clan only has one prominent figure to date -- the Iron Crane. Not much is really known about her history, or about her family. It's possible that she came from nothing and simply chose a name that worked for her. In any case, the "clan" is currently ONLY the Iron Crane, but now that she has Mutsonobe secured, she plans on adopting and creating a worthy family to rule.
Clothes and Equipment: The Iron Crane has an army that contains quite a few female samurai -- onna-bugeisha. Even her infantry also contain female numbers, as she has made a reputation of rescuing women and putting them to work at anything that they are capable of doing, just like any man. Even so, the men in her army make up a broader majority of her samurai and her offensive forces.

The soldiers at the gates did not miss Haya, or her wolf-steed. The gates were firmly shut and there were archers on the wall, their bows notched but not yet drawn. Their stone faces were unfriendly as she approached even closer -- they knew the sort of threat that the inikuma represented, as they dealt with larger-than-life beasts on an almost regular basis in these unforgiving black mountains.
Before they could call to her, the Furusawa girl called to them, stating what she was there for. Long, long moments of silence passed, turning into minutes before someone finally shouted back down to her:
"Dismount from your steed and muzzle it, then bid it sit. Come forward with your papers, and one of our clerks will verify that you are who you say you are." This wasn't a negotiation, nor was it an open conversation of compromise. Either the girl did exactly as she was told, or she did not pass through.
The Gang Shu ain't play no games, son.

"S-steed..?" Haya frowned but of course understood the meaning behind it as she cast her leg over Hiko's back as it went down on all four. "Stay there, Hiko." she said as the Inukuma bowed its head and lay down flat on the ground. Haya put her hands in her side and looked at the Gangshu guards confused. "I have no muzzle for Hiko, but he won't bite and he'll stay there for sure." she argued her case and if not they were wholly against it she would start crossing the remaining distance while taking out her papers, that she did bring. She knew Tokhung was not a place you just waltzed in and thus she had been well prepared and would be prepared to hand them over if her actions had been deemed appropriate.

The man-sized door in the gargantuan gate opener. An Archer stepped through first, now notched and trained -- seemingly on the girl, but actually on the wolf behind her.
Another Archer followed, then a guard, and finally a clerk with a makeshift desk hung about his neck with a rope. He settled glasses onto his face, and when the archers circled wide, making it clear they had their weapons trained on the wolf, the guard stood near the clerk to protect him as well.
He took the girl's papers and in that red leather book, he jotted down her name and the date, then handed back her papers, as well as giving her the crane pen.
"Everything seems to be in order," he specified. "Prick your finger and put your thumbprint here, please." The scribe adjusted his glasses.

Haya nodded at the guard and stuck out her thumb pressing it down on the parchment to create a fingerprint. It was a curious thing and she didn't really get the idea why she had to do this - but people around here didn't seem to be the types to ask such questions.
"So me and Hiko can go through?" she asked pointing her inked thumb over her shoulder, and if that was the case she would proceed to ask. "Do you have food and accommodation here? Or do I need to go further to find a nearby village?" she asked with a calm voice, not trying to be trouble for these guys.

The scribe nodded when Haya went through the process without trouble. He made a mark on the inside of her papers -- accounting for the inukuma -- then handed them back to Haya. Unlike the other temporary visas that they had created in the last couple of days, Haya's did not have to be sealed and officiated in Mutsonobe -- her paperwork was already all in order, and as long as she had it for identification, she'd be fine wherever she traveled in Tokhung.
"Yes," the guard replied, his voice low and masculine, taking his cue from the scribe who was now hurrying back through the man-sized door. "We have food here, but no accomodation. You'll have to camp on your own, or beg for room at any of the shanty businesses on the otherside of the gate. Otherwise, the next tavern is in Ishimura. Your... wolf... can get you there by nightfall if you follow the signs."
The guard gestured, and the other archers began to peel away, back into the door. "Wait here," he said as the last remaining one outside the gate and went through the door, shutting it firmly, locks and bolts audibly falling back into place. It took a long moment, two, three, and then the sound of grinding stone on stone and a chain clinking could be heard as one of the large gates began to slowly open -- large enough for a rider on a horse to pass through. Above the opened gates were the archers still poised to fire if the wolf got any ideas.
It was time for Haya to go.

Haya discretely tried to see what was written in the papers by leaned slightly forwards and mused as to why she had needed to prick her finger and give them her blood. Well, they were officially sanctioned by the new regent she had fought for in the recent war, so everything should be in order. Shouldn't it? Yes it should, and she decided to push those thoughts far back into her mind.
"Then I will get some food for both of us and take the road to Ishimura when I can." she said politely resisting the urge to correct him on the 'wolf' part. It was a combination of a wild dog and a bear - at least that was what the myth said, and it just happened to looked slightly like a big wolf. So few people understood that.
Seeing Haya again, the large Inukuma stuck out its tongue and jolted up into standing position.
"Come 'here!" Haya said and clasped her thigh a couple of times as the Inukuma raced over to her side following her through the gate. Haya would stop once and bow to the soldiers.
"Thank you for being so vigilant and doing your job thoroughly." she'd compliment them as she already started to scout around for anything resembling a butcher. That butcher store would close early today after Hiko had his hunger sated after a few chunks of meat.

There was, indeed, a butcher there, as most of the meat served to the men was sent as full bodied, or hunted in the nearby mountains.
The butcher was as crisp in his business dealings as most, and made no fuss when Haya bought him out of current butchery.
Everyone left her alone, and it was hard to tell if that was just their nature, or if they were avoiding the inukuma Haya had chosen to bring to Tokhung.
