According the firm instructions how said package is handled. While drinking tea, the shinobi leader appeared and spoke;<strong>"We have returned Takeda-tam. The package has been delivered safely."</strong>He finishes his tea, stands up and says to the leader as he walks to the rooms in upstairs; "I will inspect the package and then give remaining payment what's due." Emiko while laying in room could hear heavy steps approaching to the door, the door would slide open and reveal Gunba Takeda, man whom she had met once before year or so ago in rather impactful manner. Without word Takeda pulls cloth aside, reveal her wrists and ankles and despite shinobi's attempts cover things, he quickly noticed rapidly healing bruises as he asks in deadly calm tone; "Who tied her up?" Shinobi leader Jakino replied quickly;<strong>"I do not know, no one confessed."</strong>Takeda turns face Jakino, drawing steel katana slowly from scabbard....but then give sharp edged Gunba clan blade into Jakino's hands and says; "In absence of guilty party you carry the burden of responsebillity as leader of the operation, either your life or lives of everyone who was involved transporting her besides yourself. My request and threat upon failure to meet said expectation was very clear. Payment goes to one who remains alive." The leader grimly nod, seemingly ponder on options the leader then departs while carrying the blade, proceeding to perform a bloody task needed to be done.<br/><br/>Takeda turns then look on dirty and tired Emiko and says; "You for now will be my guest in my clan for a undetermined amount of time lady Emiko."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Letter to Midori, 2</div><div class="spoiler_body">Oshiro Midori,<br/><br/>My condolences for disappearance of your sister, but sadly it's not surprising consider since emperor died the air of war and subterfuge is heavy in the air and kidnapping and blackmails will be powerful tools wielded by those weaker than your clan. Hopefully you will hear news about your sister and the demands soon, as silence is worser messenger than one written by cowardly hand. Our fathers shared strong bond of camaradier as fellow warriors, albeit I haven't got pleasure meet you in person but I am not against forming or rather reforge the bond anew during these troubled times. Iron for rice, but we should agree meeting for next season to discuss details in person one another.<br/><br/>Potential trade partner,<br/>-Gunba Takeda<br/></div></div>
