The earth felt as if it were moving below her and she tried to move her hands but found them bound behind her and her legs tied at the knees and ankles. As she woke up fully she realized why the world felt so odd, she was in the back of a covered farmers wagon. Cages with chickens at her head and sacks of rice surrounding one side with the other hidden against the wall. <br/><br/>Pulling at her hands she found she had no luck her wrists began to hurt from the friction of the rope. Tears welled in her eyes as she laid back her head. It was useless at the moment to try anything. The wagon pulled up at the gates at the boarder of the royal city of Oshiro as the wagon came to a stop. A man climbed into the back and knelt beside her. <br/><br/>Emiko's eyes went wide as she tried to cry out but it was just muffled. "Can't have you try anything now can we?" <strong> "Just rice and chickens for the troops at the boarder." </strong> The other shinobi spoke just as a red cloth was pressed back over Emiko. She tried to shake her head and move his hand from her face but it was useless. A moment later she could feel the weight of rice bags over her body all but her face so she could breath. <br/><br/>Again she slept unable to wake no matter how she tried. It felt like moments had passed but by the time she woke again sunlight was pouring in from the back of the wagon. She felt it come to a stop as her heavy eyes opened. The two shinobi who had been driving the wagon opened up the back and pulled out the young princess. Her body ached and her hair was flecked with feathers from the chickens. <br/><br/>As her eyes adjusted to the light she noticed a dozen men all dressed in the same dark clothing their face masks pulled down as they ate. They had no fear of her seeing their faces as they knew where she was going she wouldn't have the chance to tell anyone. Picking up a knife one of the guards moved behind the girl and she gasped trying to pull away. The shinobi beside her laughed and held her still. <br/><br/>The blade slice through her wrists. "Don't worry shojo(little girl) we won't hurt you. Our employer was very clear on that." One of the men sitting down looked over with a mouth full of rice. "No wonder he paid so much." <br/><br/>The shinobi picked up the girl and carried her over to one of the fallen logs. "You need to eat we have a days ride ahead and I don't have time to drag a half dead girl." Handing her the bowl of rice he yanked down the piece of cloth around her mouth.  She knew there was too many men here to try and run. She didn't know where she was and tho Midori might have had a chance fighting a few of them Emiko did not. <br/><br/>Reaching down she picked up a small bite of rice and moved to put it in her mouth. Before sure could tho the man who seemed to be the leader grabbed her wrist and held it in the sky. <strong> "... Which one of you tied her up?" </strong> None of the men answered him. <strong> "He was very clear she was no be unharmed.. No marks ! Does this look like no marks?"</strong> He grumbled as he dropped her red raw wrist and she began to eat again just enough to make her stomach quiet. <br/><br/>As she ate she watched two men untie the horses from the wagon and saddle them. An hour later they were riding again. Emiko had been unbound long enough to eat but then one of the men took a bit of cloth and rebound her hands lifting her into the back of a horse in front of a rider. Her mouth left free, mostly because it looked less suspicious. They stayed on the back roads tho and moved as quickly as the horses would allow. <br/><br/>A trip that would have taken a group,of carriages nearly a week was made in a day. So that come night fall of the next night as Takeda sat in the tavern he saw Jakino the shinobi troops leader walk into the room. He bowed deeply to the iron masked man before he spoke. "We have returned Takeda-tam. The package has been delivered safely." <br/><br/>Emiko sat in the tavern bedroom having been snuck up the servant stairs in the back of the tavern. She felt so tired from riding and her body ached from the travel. Her long dark hair tangled with bits of leaves and her beautiful  nagajuban stained with mud and dirt. Her head hung down as she felt her eyes burn from tears but she had none left to cry. <br/><br/>She knew why she had been brought here. As a bargaining chip against her sister, to make an alliance or maybe force her to give up her claim to the throne. What she didn't know was by who. </blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>
