Just outside the door, Goro waited to escort her to the designated meeting place. He regarded her from behind his mask, sizing her up. Then, without a word, he turned and made his way down the hallway.  They navigated the maze-like hallways until they arrived at a deserted corridor.  Here, Goro slid aside a hidden panel in the wall, and paused long enough for Zhiko to enter the hidden passage, before closing the panel behind them both.  After a few more twists and turns, Zhiko and Goro finally emerged in the meeting room.  It was a large room, decorated with beautifully detailed paintings.  Bayushi Yojiro sat upon a dais at the far end of the room.  For this meeting, he had removed his mask, which sat upon the tatami mat in front of him.  His eyes were closed, apparently in meditation, and his did not look up as they entered.  Despite this, Goro bowed low to the Scorpion daimyo.  Then, he indicated a low table in the center of the room, and the mat beside it.  “That is your place.”There was one other person present, a woman who knelt on the side of the table opposite to the place where Zhiko was to sit.  She wore a fashionable black silk kimono, and a mask that covered not just her eyes, but formed a hood that covered her long dark hair.  She regarded Zhiko with green eyes that almost seemed to glow, as a sharp smile spread across her painted lips.Kaji“I am certain we can find out, Kaji-san.” Kaiten-sama replied with a smile.  With his dinner apparently finished, he stood up and stretched.  “In due time.  First, we have business to attend to.”  With that said, he crossed the room to retrieve his daisho.  Treating his swords with reverence, and tucked the wakizashi and the katana in his belt.  He then looked to Kaji.  “I received a note from a friend of mine, wishing to meet at a certain teahouse.  I want you to come with me.”  The tone of his voice made it clear that there was something suspicious about this meeting.  ItarabiMitsumi was practically beaming at the idea of having more samurai to compete with.  “Of course!  The more the merrier, right?  Come then, let us go to the practice grounds.”  With that said, she turned to lead the three others, and whomever else was interested, out through the main doors toward the practice grounds.  The Unicorn and the Crane moved to follow.  Out of the corner of his eye, Itarabi saw that the group who were planning to play a game of Sadane had broken up, and Seiyo was approaching him.  As he drew nearer, he gave Itarabi a sympathetic look.  “I hear my sister is dragging you into sparring practice.”</blockquote>
