Emiko took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. She was still very much under the influence. She could feel the cardamine all over her body. If cardamine could talk, it would be saying, "New client. Take them over!"
"Yes, Sister," she said to Misaki, "I have never done anything like that." This was about the time the Matriarch removed her mask. Emiko saw herself somewhat in her new sister, a young, Kusari woman...a pretty woman.
"No more secrets between us, sister" troubled her for a brief moment as her head was still very much in the clouds.
"One secret must remain," she thought to herself. "No one can know who my father is."
She then formally introduced herself. "I am Emiko Sato." She paused a moment looking around at each of her new sisters, "It will be my honor to fight with you."
Her head was settling but the cardamine was also settling as it was taking her over. Gradually, she started to calm except that she still felt a little sick to her stomach.
"Sister," she asked, "is it common to feel a little sick after the first time taking it and how often will I need to use it?"
As she awaited an answer, she reached her kiseru and put it in her lips. She lit it and drew in the smoke, smiling as she released it and then offering it to her sisters.
