<span style="font-size: 26px">Tsurugi stood watching silently as Tsubiki got the girl out she was taking her time to get out, perhaps the old man had his way with her and she was still weak at the legs, no lord Hanzaemon had warned Tsubiki from such actions in the past. The old man was smart surely he would not attempt it, finally the girl emerge Tsurugi looked at her with his light hazel eyes she was a beauty indeed. What captivated Tsurugi the most where those eyes, he couldn't help but feel butterflies in his stomach when he saw her his eyes where in a trance glued onto the woman. But the young samurai shook off these thoughts, when Tsubiki would give the girl a slight push as if to hurry her a long he would then hop back onto his carriage and be gone as soon as he came. The sounds of his horses galloping echoing in the distance as it make more and more distant until the sound was no more signaling that the old man was gone. Tsurugi would approach the girl, his mask still concealing the bottom part of his face his light hazel eyes stayed on the girls the entire time as he approached her. <br/>
<br/>
He did so with his arms down at his side to not seem like a threat, when he got close he reached up with his right hand grabbing her jaw gently then moving her face side to side he then inspected her neck. Afterwards he would reach for the kimono and pull it down enough to expose her shoulders, he looked at her nothing pulling them back up he grabbed her hands gently the right hand first pulling the sleeve up he inspected the arm. He did the same repeating the porcess with the other arm, finally he stopped looking at girl in the face</span><span style="font-size: 26px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"I am sorry"</span></span><span style="font-size: 26px">he would suddenly reach up wtih both hands and reach for the girls breast, he would squeeze them firmly but only once then lower his hands it was to check for any signs of pain. If she had been molested or handled too roughly her breast would be bruised, and him squeezing them in such a way would cause her to react with pain but everything seemed to be in order. Tsurugi looked around at the other side of the bridge he placed his hand on the girls shoulder</span><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000"><span style="font-size: 26px">"Move..."</span></span><span style="font-size: 26px">he would order his tone was deep and powerful the tone fit for a young samurai. He led the girl to the carriage opening the door for her he held her hand to help her up, once inside the door was closed and they where on their way. <br/>
<br/>
Tsurugi sat across from the girl, their knees inches from touching the carriage was more cramped then one would think on the inside he looked at the girl with his light hazel eyes, though his gaze was strong and somewhat cold inside Tsurugi was in a conflict. He could kill the rides man, take the girl and run away, but why for this girl? Why was he feeling his stomach so light? He almost felt nausea just be being near her but it was not disgust it was nerves. Finally ehe built up the courage to speak,</span><span style="font-size: 26px"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#ff0000">"What...is your name?"</span></span><span style="font-size: 26px">he would ask trying his best not to sound nervous, he had to keep face and he had to play the role of the ruthless guard. Though what he was doing at this very moment was a direct violation to lord Hanzaemon's silence rule he was not allowed to speak to the women, under any circumstance.</span>
