(Day 6, LN) DEADLY EVENT: Hallway: Curiosity killed the...(CW: Ghosts, Potential Death)

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"There's always something that needs to be done by anyone. Consider yourself invited, although I can understand trying to amass troops first before sending your help. I also recommend studying the shadowlands in detail if that is truly your objective. To be honest, I like you. You gave me a different feeling from all other lions here, and you recognize that the empire's greatest enemy exists."

[Bayushi Kaidan]

"True... But Akodo san is also a good paragon of Bushido. I can see... he wears his on well." Kaidan nodded. "There are other dangers that lurk around that may be darker than we think." He shrugged it off. "Beside hungry ghost or giant oni."

[Akodo Kichiro]

"Thank you. Both of you. No matter what darkness looms ahead I know the three of us can make it if we tried. As we reach the end of this week, the end of this tournament, know I will treasure these small moments. Until this week I have never really spoken to many outside my clan. Never could of imagined myself here among the best our their clan's respective schools. I am happy to have known both of you." Kichiro smiles faintly. A rare siting from him.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"I had met some outside my Clan, even living in the wall. Not because the dojo is I'm a castle as Shiro Kaiu hates outsiders, but my family is greatly Phoenix and I am to be married there as well. My nakodo is a Scorpion. My lord chose him. I think I know why."

"Nakodo huh. I... Try not to be concerned about such things." Kichiro lets out an uneasy sigh. "Excuse me where are my manners? Congratulations Kaiu-san. I pray it is a truly blessed event and a happy union for both of you." Kichiro speaks warmly.

"Err ahh... No plans in regards to myself just yet. Just before my journey here my father told me I would be removed from the family if I were to fail gempukku. Unusual I know but it is his method. How was it working with a Nakodo?"
