The Amenouzume docked at one of the larger hangars, after some minutes the exits opened and Rika moved out, wearing a quite unusual clothes. It wasnt the black flight suit she wear most of the time, it was a traditional blue dress.
She walked towards one of the guards, "Konnichiwa honorable Brother, Im Oneesan Rika Ito sent by the Golden Chrysanthemums. The Taishogun invited us, so I hope you wouldnt mind showing me the way?"
The Blood Dragon bowed, and motioned for the GC to follow him. He led her down the hallway past the some of the order and blood dragons. He opened the door to the court room where the Taishogun was speaking with Akuji. The guard bowed, and closed the door while exiting. Hirosho saw the GC and greeted Oneesan Rika Ito.
"Akuji has just been appointed Shogun. I suggest waiting a few moments to speak, for they are busy currently."
Miyamoto stood there and watched the new Shogun of The Rising Sons arise. He always knew that Akuji will do great things in the Dragons, and the Taishogun's decision was supported by Miyamoto. He approached Akuji and slightly bowed.
"Omedetoo Akuji-sama! It is a great honor that what you have received, and I do not doubt that you will serve the Taishogun proudly and honorably! Now the KNF has even more reason to fear us!" - Miyamoto laughed.
"Come now Akuji-sama, let us celebrate! I have some things to attend to, but I trust you will join me for some sake in the bar later on, hai?" - Miyamoto said as he was leaving the Court Room.
Things need doing and Miyamoto approaches his messenger that was standing near the entrance to the Court with a request.
"Brother, I need for you to find Daimyo Ieyasu. The Taishogun requests his audience in the Imperial Court, and by the order of The Taishogun he will be here! Unless he wishes to meet my blade. Go now brother, make haste!"
"Hai Sensei!" - The young Dragon said and rushed quickly to do his job. As he opened the door, Miyamoto saw Roju Hirosho standing with a beautiful woman in a blue dress, a Chrysanthemum no doubt about it. Miyamoto quickly approached Hirosho-san.
"Brother, Akuji-sama is a Shogun now, but a new Daimyo is to be appointed soon by the Taishogun. I suggest you will fight for the position. I see no others that are worthy being a Daimyo more then yourself. Who knows, you might even replace me as a Shogun one day!" - Miyamoto said to the Roju and smiled. Then turned his eyes to the Chrysanthemum, and approached her.
"Konnichiwa Sister, anata wa totemo kirei desu, and finally we meet in person." - Miyamoto said as he kissed Rika's hand, "You are here in the name of the Chrysanthemums, hai? Well, I for one must say that I am glad it was you who was appointed to this duty." - Miyamoto smiled while looking Rika in the eyes, "Sumimasen, I have some other business to attend to, but I hope we will see each other again? Sayonara!"
Rika whispered, "You are the one Ive met in space, hai? Its a honor to meet you!", she bowed slighty. "Im sure we will meet later! For now I will wait till the ceremony has ended, I dont want to disturb it", she returned the smile to Miyamoto and after he left, watched the ceremony.
Kintaki briefly watches over the conversations at hand. He faces Hirosho Horatami,"Better Luck next time. You deserved that rank."
Kintaki stares at Akuji and walks off in a hurry.
Quietly trailing behind Rika but not so close as to be outright noticeable is a young Lady, one who seems to have gone unnoticed for the time being. She watches the other member of the Sisterhood without having said anything to her or anyone else as of yet. She is dressed in a simple yet appealing version of the traditional Kimono, the dress itself being a very dark blue color patterened with a traditional Dragon and Tiger motif. The Obi she wears offsets the color of the Kimono, it being a deep crimson color. Her hair is tied back in a simple pony tail style, draping ong down her back and reaching past the Obi. Her hair also has a pair of deep mahogony hair pins, keeping some of the traditional styling sense while being at the same time more modern in flair and style. Her eyes seem to never meet the gaze of anyone at all, so its hard to tell what color they truely are.
For now, when any Dragon or even the members of the Order pass by her, she very softly greets them politely, saying as little as possible for the moment, yet polite and unassuming in her effort to remain unobtursive and in the back ground for the moment. She smiled slightly when she heard the annoucement of a new Shogun having been named by the current taishogun, though she does not readily recall knowing any Dragon she saw here or at any time during her stay here at the Court over the last few days since leaving Ainu...
And a thought occures to her as she glances to a small but simple loooking wrist band, reading the very tiny readout and message. She hmms softly as she notes teh little indicators on certain messages tell her that certain things have been noticed now on Ainu, to which she nods to herself, it was only a matter fo time before they noticed. She taps the wrist band once to clear the messages then resumes her slow walk, making sure to remain somewhat close enough to listen to the general conversations and see if there was anything of value she needed to know for future reference.
((OOC)) Where is the Court located at for future reference in RP, please?
A few women are dressed in beautiful kimonos and are in a corner drinking tea whilst they gossip.
Tomiko: Do any of you know who Arisu Sachiko is?
Ayano: You mean the girl who takes it upon herself to fight with the men?
Tomiko: Yeah that's the one.
Ayano: If you ask me she needs to learn her place. Men fight, women don't
Tomiko: Yeah, did you hear what she did the other day?
Ayano: I don't think so, enlighten me.
Tomiko: Hai, Arisu was leading a unit of Blood Dragons to inquire about a KNF Gunboat in Kyushu. She apparently had a duel with him that came to an end when an Outcast came nearby.
Ayano sips her tea.
Ayano: What'd she do next Tomiko-sama?
Tomiko: Well apparently, Ame-chan came in her Yacht and her Blood Dragon unit and the Outcasts blew up her Yacht, and then they eliminated the Gunboat!
Tomiko: Yeah that she did, whilst she got the job done it was somewhat dishonorable.
Another girl dressed in a blue Kimono makes her way towards the two ladies, both of them drop what their doing and have scared looks on their faces.
Arisu: Hello ladies, mind if I ask what we're talking about?
Tomiko: Oh sure.... *She stutters* we were... we were just talking about this excellent tea that we're having... Would you like to try... some?
Arisu: Why it would be my pleasure. Arisu grabs the tea in a way that both girls can sea inside her Kimono's sleeves and see a knife that would otherwise be concealed.
Arisu: This tea is excellent, well I'm afraid that I've got some more business to attend to.
Ayano utters a sigh of relief and the ladies resume gossiping about other subjects.
Chiba Masato walks up to Arisu
Chiba: What was that all about?
Arisu: Those ladies were gossiping about me....
Chiba: Oh more of that stuff about Outcasts? You saw an advantage and you took it, and the Blood Dragons are in a better position because of it. You don't need to be threatened by their gossip. You did the right thing Arisu.
Arisu: Hai Masato-san, I guess I just need to ignore it.
Arisu wanders off and looks for something else to do.
Miyamoto landed on Kyoto after a long and stressful day, as many that were once great Samurai, are now lost. That troubles his heart as they were his brothers. But the Rising Sons shall rise again, and Kusari awaits to be enlighten with Dragon wisdom and honor. He walked off his ship to the landing platform where he was greeted by an Oban of the Rising Sons, one of his own personal Guard. He bowed to him showing respect, and Miyamoto responded, bowing his head slightly while placing his hand on his sword.
"Konnichiwa Sensei, you honor us with your presence." - The young Oban said as he gesticulated Miyamoto the way with his hand, "They are awaiting you in the Court room."
"Konnichiwa brother, any news from Kyoto?" - Miyamoto replied as he folded a piece of important looking parchment and hooked it onto his belt and began walking to the Court room.
"His Greatness summoned all available Samurai to the Court, but I am sure you are aware of this, because that is the probable reason of your arrival."
"Hai hai." - Miyamoto nodded and confirmed the young Oban's thoughts, gently touching the parchment that was hanging from his belt, "I have brought what The Taishogun wishes to see, the list of all the Samurai in the Rising Sons, and I bring the sad news, if there are any dead Samurai, or even worse, captured."
"Hai Sensei! We better hurry then!" - The Oban said as he was ran in front of Miyamoto to open the doors for him. And the two proceeded into the main Court room.
"But that is not the issue here, we must...." - The babbling inside the Court stopped as Miyamoto pushed the large entrance door, and his figure appeared before the young Dragons standing there. Little time did Miyamoto lose, as he immediately proceeded into the Main Court room, glancing his eyes all around the room, seeing many Dragons that he knew, and respected, and some, that he was not very fond of.
The Taishogun was sitting in his Throne observing the room, and doing his daily routines. Miyamoto entered his visual range, and kneeled on the red carped that lead to his throne, taking his katana of his back and placing it into his hands, as the sign of respect to His Greatness.
"Konnichiwa most Honorable One, may this humble Samurai ask for permission to approach your throne?" - Miyamoto asked The Taishogun, as he knew he was expecting him to arrive.
"Konnichiwa Shogun, come, The Taishogun has been expecting you." - The Taishogun responded, and Miyamoto approached him, and kneeled before him handing him the parchment he was carrying. And stood up to remain by The Taishogun's side. The Taishogun stood up from his throne, opened the parchment as all of the room quieted down. He gave it to Miyamoto and braced his head with his hand as he leaned on his throne.
"Let it be known and written, Daimyo Tokugawa Ieaysu is no longer a Daimyo of the Rising Sons, he failed in his honorable duties, and is now a Hatamoto. Roju Uesugi Kenshin has honorably stepped down from his rank." - Miyamoto began reading, "Two Shoguns are without their most trusted Dragons, their Daimyos. And two Roju's are no longer being able to perform their duties. If a Samurai feels he is worthy of such honor of achieving these ranks, then he is to speak before The Most Honorable Taishogun. Then The Taishogun and The Taishogun alone will decide whom He wishes at these ranks, so do not demand anything."
Miyamoto rolled up the parchment as quiet babbling could be heard in the distance, as the Dragons were talking about who deserves these ranks. Miyamoto then turned to The Taishogun and spoke in a quiet voice.
"If I may speak Your Greatness?" - He asked The Taishogun with upmost respect.
"Hai, The Taishogun is willing to listen." - Miyamoto received an answer from his Taishogun.
"Samurai Yuuma-san is a honorable one, and he would do great deeds if he was to be a Roju. As well as Arisu-san, if we make her a Roju, the Chrysanthemum sisters could see it as a sign of us willing to acknowledge women equal in the new Empire." - Miyamoto said and The Taishogun looked at him.
"The Taishogun will consider this. That is all Shogun." -The Taishogun again braced his head with his hand and leaned on the throne, thinking deeply on the matter at hand.
Arisu, dressed as she always is in her blue kimono, listens intently to Miyamoto-sama's speech about the Dragons who are gone and which positions are open, all though she doesn't really care about the former seeing as how she'd never met any of them. When Miyamoto-sama whispers something to the Tai-Shogun she begins her approach towards his throne.
Miyamoto-sama steps down from the throne and Arisu begins to speak.
Arisu: Most honorable Tai-Shogun have I permission to approach?
Tai-Shogun: Hai, Sachiko-san, you may approach the Tai-Shogun
Arisu walks towards the Tai-Shogun's throne and resumes speaking.
Arisu: As Miyamoto-sama said, several positions are open within the ranks of the Rising Sons.
Tai-Shogun: Hai, this is true.
Arisu: Seeing as how there are several positions open most honorable Tai-Shogun, I have come to offer my mind and my blade to serve you as well my Dragon brothers and sisters in a higher position than my current one.
Arisu kneels before the Tai-Shogun and holds her katana in her hands offering it to the Tai-Shogun.
Tai-Shogun: Arisu, the Tai-Shogun shall consider this, you are dismissed.
Arisu: Hai, most honorable Tai-Shogun.
Arisu walks away from the Tai-Shogun's throne and begins
Hall's door opened, fresh light filled room. Person entered hall and stopped 101 feet next to the Taishogun. Konichiwa, my name is Yuuma Saburo, and I'm honoured to be summoned by you, Taishogun.
He bowed and stopped his speech for a second.
<div align="right]Gajin will never reach Kusari,
Gajin is afraid of tooth of Dragons.
Samura snakes will never reach the skies again,
Dragons cut off snakes' wing.
Snakes' puppets will never suceed,
Saburo will stop them at once.
Saburo coughed: May I continue, the most honourable one?
Taishogun nodded. I fight with honour and bravery, I think with wisdom, and I want to help our brothers to reach our goal. Let me take one of positions who're able to teach the young ones, to bring our honour to stars.
He bowed again, and laid his katana to the floor awaiting the answer.
Taishogun told him few words, filled with wisdom. Taishogun will think about it, samurai. Enjoy some rest nearby, as decision needs time to come.
