Yoritomo Yogo
"No."
"Why not? You dishonor me, you tell me to leave in the rain, you turn your back. And for what? A dozen or so tattoo's? You yourself would bear a tattoo if you were of the noble caste."
He leaned into the blade, feeling it scratch his skin. Then the tears spilled out of her eyes, leaving small clean streaks in the dirt on her face. His resolve nearly broke, but he had to act the samurai. Forever loyal, forever hated...the woes of a scorpian. He felt the blade bite into his skin, opening a shallow wound on his chest -- scarlet blood instantly flowing lightly from the wound. With a little pressure, the wound would close and scab over on it's own...left unattended it could bleed for quite awhile. He felt his blade pull from his skin and move away from him, harmlessly wavering in her hands. Then it fell, and a loud metalic clang as it bounced on the flooring.
"I am sorry my Lord"
She shot the sentence out, as if she was warning him of a horseman about to run him down. Then her eyes were closed and she smacked into him, her arms around his neck to hold on. Yoritomo even took a half step backward to remain standing, not expecting this action. She was talking quickly into his ear, "Go further up North Master... be careful not to show yourself! There would be the Serpent's Geisha Pool- you will be safe!"
She pulled back quickly, and finally noticed the blood, then she was back towards him, brushing the blood from his chest and trying to clean him up. "Go now Sir! I cannot strike you... I want you to be safe. Please my Lord."
He looked at her hands trying to clean his chest and he gently took her wrists into his hands. He pulled her inward slowly, gently but insistantly. Once she was close he could see his blood on her sleeve and all over her hands. But he didn't care about that. He could see the tears streaking her face, and while he cared about that, he wasn't focused on it. He was looking at her mouth, as her lips quivered with her feelings. He didn't like the quiver. So he held her lip still -- with his own. He pulled her in tightly and kissed her, all the raging emotions of the last hour or so pouring through his lips and into hers.
