Maybe, his daughter was worthy. Jurobei smiled hearing the description of situation. "It seems my own mistake catches up to me." Jurobei said calmly. "I should have extinguished your clan... but I choose to speare it due to sentiment to my mother. A mistake, I hope, my clan will not make again."
He barely has time to finish his sentence, as a shuriken stabs into his chest, knocking him off balance. @Regin34 Inazuma's father makes no move to defend himself.
Inazuma use kunai to stab his hand to floor and push him down by strong kick. "Rai clan remeber everything father." She said and stab secend kunai in his secend hand.
@Regin34 "Killing your parent, eh? You are not Rei - You are the same monster as me, Yakuboo through and through." Jurobei removes the shuriken from his chest. "Before long, the Rei will be exterminated." He chuckled. "But not you or your half-sister who organised it. You are Yakuboo - the Rei clan, are loose ends." He started laughing as Inazuma attacked him again.
There, they see an older looking retainer, with two bodyguards, facing a one eyed ronin woman. They're arguing, loudly, about money, and things look like they're about to come to violence.
Inazuma look at him with cold hate in eyes. "Do you know why I stand against you? You easy gives punishment for smallest mistep and no single prize for largest service in your clan. You hold everything by fear, but fear change in desperation and hate when prey is left without any option." She said and made of him blood cross and push on his nose dust plants of pleasure. " And to your information, clan Rai will be restored. Your curse is powerfull but not eternal and it is possible to remove. " She make sure he can't move leg or hand.
@majus As Inazuma cuts into Jurobei's body, he feels himself being overwhelmed by raw sexual pleasure. Unable to move his limbs, it quickly becomes a torture, as his pleasure increases with no way to satisfy his need.
Jurobei chuckled. "You are wrong, in that..." He winces as he starts feeling the drug. "Seems familiar... Hmm..." He looks at Inazuma, "If you can't understand the trap that I set on your clan, then you are a failure." He said as he closed his eyes, allowing the poison and wounds to slowly overtake him.
Jurobei's expression grows tense, as his muscles clench, agonisingly trying to get some pleasure and causing him extreme pain. With this last taunt, the evil colossus of Clan Yokuboo slumps over, eyes rolled back into his head, tongue lolling, looking like so many of the women he'd abused over the years. @Regin34 Inazuma looks on as her father dies, and the sounds of combat in the castle end. Midori enters the room, looking at her sister, before moving in to embrace her tightly.
Jian approached the group and raised his voice to get their attention, 'Calm down, everyone. What's the big problem here?'
Inazuma looked at him in shock, as he mention some "trap" on her clan. She wanted tortured him to make him speak but lord Jurobei escape in hands of death. Inazuma just look at his lifeless body like a corpse and didn't hear Midori as she aproches her. "I... I expected to feel different... Relief... Joy... Maybe satisfaction... But not this... Not emptyness..." She said wisperd to Midori leaning in her arms.
They look at him angrily. "This little bitch cheated me out of my money!" The ronin chuckles. "I could say the same thing about you." The man bristles, hand going to his sword hilt. The one eyed woman looks at him. "You don't want to do that."
Midori opens her mouth to speak, but says nothing. There's nothing to be said. She just holds Inazuma for a moment. "I-I... We should get working. Lord Yokuboo was murdered by assassins, and we stopped those assassins, but not before our lord was slain. Okay?" Midori looks into Inazuma's eyes.
'Hold up, Lord Sanada sent us to mediate this, so back off for a damn moment,' Jian stepped between them, 'What was the deal and how do you both think you got cheated?'
They look angrily at each other, but step away for a moment. The Yokuboo retainer says "We did a job together, for some old foreigner. We completed the job, but he died before giving us the money, and now she's asking for a bigger cut than was stipulated in the contract." The ronin chuckles. "You can't even read the contract. Speaking of which..." She looks at Jian. "You're from the Eternal Empire, right? The old man was a mainlander... Are you literate? Think you could read the contract for us and make a decision?" The retainer nods. "If Lord Sanada sent you, then I'm confident you'll make the right decision."
Inazuma nod standing more sure of hersellf. "Yes... That will be work... Official version like he used to say..." She said and look at Midori. "Your brothers would like to chalange you for leadership since Jurobei didn't tell who will be his heir. I didn't ask you if you are ready, because I know you are. You must force them to plege to you, before civil war will started."
'I can read, yes. You both signed a contract you cannot read?' Jian scratched his head, 'What if the old geezer made you promise your first-born children to him for a laugh? We mainlanders have peculiar humour. Give it here and let me have a look.'
He chuckles. "Perhaps a little bit. I wasn't particularly attached to that building, but I had to run pretty fast away, which isn't my strong suit." He looks at Kyouka. "Oichi has fallen in with a lady named Tiyaka. She's providing monetary support, as well as contacts among the nobility. However, Oichi hasn't been able to break Tiyaka. In fact, the woman remains entirely free willed. Oichi has instead been grooming Tiyaka's son, most likely going to seduce him and use him to overthrow his mother. If she were to be perhaps be informed of this, and led to where Oichi was enjoying herself with the woman's son, that support would likely end." He continues. "As for the assassin, he's a former shinobi, kicked out of his clan after killing a family without orders. He's good enough that I don't know where he stays, but I have found out that he has a favourite mistress, a concubine at the palace. She might be able to locate him."
"I will." As if on cue, Inazuma hears shouts from outside, and sees Sanada approaching, demanding to know what's going on. Midori looks to Inazuma. "Shintaro won't be hard to convince, but Sanada will definitely think that he has a right to lead. I need you to spy on him, find anything that I can use as leverage. Can you do that, sister?" Sanada enters the castle, heading up to the room.
