Winds of Ambition - Game Thread

"Ho? Interesting, a man that doesn't know who I am. You are either married, a eunuch, or maybe you prefer the same sex?" Kyouka teased as she aims, and fires at another target. Aiming for its forehead. The redhead then grins, "Very well, I shall tell you. I don't know the various nickname they have given me. But when I was younger, I seeked some challengers. But due to being a woman, none would take me seriously. Until I added a reward. If they happen to beat me, they're allowed to use my body however they wish for a day. If they lose, I simply kill them." She said in a proud tone, while using her gloved hand to slide over her curvy body to accentuate the reward.
The discharge of the gun echoes through the courtyard, and the bullet impacts in the centre of her target's head, just like her opponent's shot did. Shintaro chuckles again at her response. "I'm unmarried, not a eunuch, and I only lie with men when I'm very, very drunk, and unable to tell the difference." He pulls down the trigger, and shoots the neck of his target. "Oh, so you're that buxom redhead. I think I heard Midori ordering some of the men to search for you a few days ago. You have a nickname: The Black Widow. Tell me, are you going to kill me if you win our little contest?"
 
Cracking the door open just an inch, Inazuma sees that the woman lies, looking almost bored, as a grey haired old man is atop her. She doesn't recognise the man, but next to the pair is sprawled a man's kimono, expensive looking, with gold leaf trimmings, indicating that whoever he is, he's very wealthy. Before Inazuma can determine anything more, she hears the heavy thuds of an armoured guard's footsteps, about to round the corner to where she's crouched.
Inazuma steped out the door and hidden near floor above ti awoid guards.

While talking, Kyouka reloads her rifle. Grinning as she saw the man hit the neck on the target, "Hm? The black widow, eh? I like it." She cooed as she heard her nickname, "Though I've also heard, Whore, Slut, Bitch, Sword wielding prostitute, and the name I heard most frequently in Santila was, Flame haired woman." She added as she once again takes aim, firing as she tries to hit the target's nose or where it would be if it had one. "Unless you plan on standing where I'm aiming, I don't plan to. That wager is for duels. This is more of a sport." She said with a grin, as if she was taunting him to place a wager.

Her bullet flies through the target's mouth. "Well, if this is sport, why don't we lay down a little wager? I'm not particularly interested in dying so why don't we say that if you win, I'll give you my prized matchlock." He holds up his weapon, and Kyouka can see that it's beautifully inlaid and decorated, with well positioned sights and high quality firing mechanisms. "Of course, if I win, I get your usual prize." He fires almost without looking, hitting his target in the eye.
 
Inazuma return to door, to eavedrop for anything what they could talking. Maybe shogun's mother will say name of her "lover".
There doesn't seem to be any dirty talk between the rutting couple, and from the way the old man keeps slowly thrusting his hips, Inazuma gets the feeling that this could go on for a while. She does note that while she doesn't know his name, she would easily recognise him again, or his expensive kimono.

Kyouka's grin widens as he puts down his wager, "Very well, I could always use another gun." She said while reloading. Once her gun was ready, the redhead aims for the eye as well.

Inazuma decided it is enough of waiting time here, and She decided to give this information to her Lord. She sneak to his chamber and whisper to his ear.
"Shogun mother is having sex with old, important guy. They didn't say names, but his kimono and jewelry are easy to recognise." She descripe them to Yokusoo and add.
"I guess she made it to gain favor from him, not by lust or love." After that, she was leave the room and go look for preparation for journey. Following shadows, as always.

@majus
Jurobei hears his kunoichi report to him as he dresses and eats breakfast.
 
"Yes. And we've met before, she came to challenge auntie. She's a skilled swordsman and I have no doubt we'll see a similar display with her rifle."

@unisol_gr44
"Should I call you brother, Jian, or do you prefer cousin?" A peal of light laughter in her voice. Lord Shintaro could've gone either way, but he seemed prepared to accept him. Was difficult to see the family resemblance on a personality level, but they'd have years to talk and sort that out. "Once things have calmed down we can resume our discussion of Yakuboo women."
'Cousin should be more appropriate, I think,' Jian smiled at Chitsukiko, 'Continue our chat? Of course we can do that if it pleases you.'
Shintaro chuckles. "That'd be Yamana, castle steward. He tired of trying to tell me what to do years ago. You fought Midori? Was there a provocation?" He primes and loads his firearm, pointing to some targets along the castle wall. "We'll use those, how about five shots, and the shooter with the most headshots wins?"

@unisol_gr44 Shintaro looks over to his newly discovered son. "You ever use one of these, kid?"
'I have not,' Jian shook his head.
 
Dawn comes quickly, and Inazuma wakes first, trained to leave sleep at the slightest sound or disturbance. She hears someone, a woman, probably, approach her Lord's room.

Jurobei wakes to hear a maid tap against the paper door. "My lord, the shogun has instructed that you be woken, so your trip can begin soon. She also said something about her mother being ready, though she was vague in her meaning, saying that you'd understand."

Jurobei gets up.

"Your message is received - pass to the Shogun that I will be there in a moment." As he was left alone Jurobei starts putting his clothes on.
@Regin34

When he is ready, he calls to where his kunoichi is hidden.

"When the time comes, be sure to get rid of any ninja Shogun's mother might have brought along.
 
Her bullet flies true, hitting the target in the eye. "We'll see." He fires, and his bullet hits exactly where hers did, only on his target. "Last shot, you ready?"

"Fufu. Of course I am." Kyouka said with a grin as she reloads. When her gun was ready, she aims, taking a deep breath as she aims for the target's neck. Then fires.

Inazuma lower her head.
" As you wish my lord. I will take anything what necessary to complit my mission. " And She leave
She sees the work carrying on peacefully in the morning sun, until she feels a presence behind her.
Inazuma slowly turn around with kunevai in one hand, hidden in her sheeve.
"I hope your feet feeling fine my dear." She said and make stand ready to fight, excepting ninja from yesterday.

The shogun is waiting for him in her audience chamber, seated on a cushion on her elevated platform. "Ah, Lord Yokuboo. Are you ready to depart?"
 
'Cousin should be more appropriate, I think,' Jian smiled at Chitsukiko, 'Continue our chat? Of course we can do that if it pleases you.'

'I have not,' Jian shook his head.
Shintaro grins. "I'll have to show you how at some point. I'm heading to the capital today, if you want to come along."

"Fufu. Of course I am." Kyouka said with a grin as she reloads. When her gun was ready, she aims, taking a deep breath as she aims for the target's neck. Then fires.
The lord's brother looks at Kyouka with a knowing grin, as the bullet hits the neck, exactly where she aimed it. "Looks like we have a draw." He pulls the trigger, hitting the target in the head. "We both had one miss.'
