(OOC: It was a good poem Mitsouko =D!)
Sanjuro stood there in silence listening to the beautiful love waka that Mitsouko spoke. He watched her in the moonlight entranced by her. You're letting yourself get distracted Sanjuro thought to himself. Sanjuro decided to aford this one indulgence and just smiled as he watched her recite the poem.
At the news he saw some kind of life return to Kenpachi's features. He would heal and thought alone made Sanjuro feel better. Emotions ran high for all three people. Kenpachi's grief for his wife, Mitsouko's love for her family, and the deep burning feeling in Sanjuro's soul that Mitsouko had stirred. Sanjuro took a deep breath and answered Kenpachi with a eye closed smile. "Ohh yes sweet buns, Master Fuju taught me to be a master Magistrate as well as a cook. I mean on top of being a tenacious man for his age he could work magic with very little. Given a stocked storeroom and he could make a feast out of nothing, and lucky for the two of you this knowledge was passed to me. Particularly in the subject of sweet buns!" Sanjuro opened his eyes and looked at Mitsouko again showing his feelings in the way he looked at her. At this point he didn't care to hide his feelings on the matter, after all he always was bad at deceiving others. Sanjuro always played his intent and emotions on his sleeve. He was rather simple in that way. He led the group back to the house and to the inevitable bowl of sweet buns that would come to be.

OOC: Great job, everyone! There will be a new thread coming up shortly, as soon as Hirotomo is done getting to Toku Torid-e. Most likely any day now. The time will pass by, roughly three and a half weeks. Aiko ashes were burried and if anyone has gone off for buisness they will be the next game day or are already back, whichever you want.
If you are back... there is this short bit that can be resolved.
IC:A messenger comes to Toku Kenpachi as he sat alone in his study. Mitsouko and Sanjuro-sama were getting along rather well. It warmed Kenpachi's heart to see his Lord's charm at work. His Lord has been single for far to long already. Kenpachi thanked the messenger for the letter than went into his study to read it.
Father, I was successful in my mission to the Kitsuki lands. I bring with me Kitsuki Rinko, handpicked by the Kitsuki Daimyo herself. There have been interesting events on my trip. I also come with a ronin that is being detained after we found him and others with mother's favorite kimono. The other ronin lie dead and burnt. An Akodo who was near the ronin says he has information that you will need to find out. There is also a matter I must speak with you on a personal note. I have grown fond of my traveling companion. I need to speak with you regarding this matter. In my sucess, I hope I have honored our family.
Hirotomo
This was strange news. Welcome, but strange. His letter to the Kitsuki was met well. Kitsuki Yuushahime had indeed remembered him and agreed to help. There was a small note inside. This particular Kitsuki was...unusal. His son had gone to great lengths to obtain information about her preferences. Lukewarm tea? Kenpachi rose an eyebrow at that note.
So, his son was fond of this Dragon samurai-ko. Kenpachi began to ponder that thought for a moment. He did not like the idea of wedding again. Perhaps with his son wed, the rest of the family would get off of his back. He could saddle his son with the burden of the family estate and go back to serving the Empire. Toku Kenpachi began to order the servants to begin the preperations for Hirotomo's Gempakku. He then walked off to speak with Sanjuro-sama.

OCC: Thank you Kenpachi and Sanjuro for let me in this awesome thread!
As Kenpachi-san needed some time to properly meditate in all the things what happened, and was expecting both Kitsuki and Hirotomo (Taki-kun, as Mitsouko remembered him by Aiko’s letters) arrival, Mitsouko managed to send and receive some letters in this meanwhile. One of them gave her news about the Three Sides River Imperial decision outcome, and then Ryo was relocated to command some of the patrolling scouts. So Mitsouko made her way to give him news, with the proper excuse she was under his command anyway. She delayed there no longer than necessary, as she still intended to travel to the Lion Lands, in search of answers. But she promised Sanjuro-sama (and she was less inclined to name him sama) she would wait for the Toku samurai avaiability to make such travel. This little ride made her feel a bit weak and weird, as she was feeling this way for some nights. But it used to disappear with a hot bathing and a bit of sake... And, of course, go to sleep thinking more and more in the charming Monkey daimyo. Well, let's face it, Sanjuro made it almost impossible to avoid thinking of him. He was even taller than her! Might be an omen! (OCC: LOL!) As she arrived, she got caught in Hirotomo’s Gempukku preparations. Toku people had their own way on making it, and she was fascinated. Aiko would be proud.

It had been a week in the tiny province of Toku Torid-E. Things for the most part had calmed down. The days were spent preparing for the upcoming Gempukku ceremony. The air was thick with anticipation. The younger members of the clan would sneak around trying to get peeks at what all the adults were working at "patience kids you will get your chance one day for your Gempukku as well." then Sanjuro would chase the kids playful til they inevitably dog piled on him bringing the man down. Laughs could be heard through the hills as both adult and child would be laughing, the spirit of Toku was present in these moments.
Kenpachi was doing better everyday. His pain was starting to subside. Occasionally Sanjuro would see him staring into the sky. They would trade nods at each other in understanding. Kenpachi would be full of life at nights when the Toku samurai would get sake in them and trade stories at the bonfires. Sanjuro loved to see him laughing at stories and fighting to stop while telling his. Sanjuro would everynight invite Mitsouko to attend. It was no secret that Sanjuro cared for her. He saw a light in her that was very rare. Sanjuro had come to smile all the time for no reason, and when the two of them interacted the smile just seemed to grow.
It was a couple of nights before the Gempukku was suppose to take place and Sanjuro found himself pacing in the keeps hall just down the way from Mitsouko's room. His thoughts were distracted which happened to be a common theme for the last week or so, Sanjuro didn't mind at all. He finally gathered himself and thought of what the possibilities may hold in the future. He smiled. "Ok feet here we go!" sanjuro said out loud to himself.
He walked to Mitsouko's door and knocked

“He’s outside.” Mimiko whispered with urge, coming to help Mitsouko to lift from the futon. “Who’s outside, by Hantei Himself, what you are talking about? Lemme sleep, Mimi.”“Mitsouko-sama, pleeeease!!!! The Toku daimyo is out there! Like I said you it would be this morning!" The servant, a robust middle aged woman who companied the samurai-ko in her endless travels, carefully took a kimono and a comb, acting with great enthusiasm. “Sanjuro… Sanjuro-sama? Is at my door? Dear Fortunes!” She tried to sweep the sleep and tiredness away, and the huge migraine that seems not cease no matter what she does. “Say him to wait a moment, please, Mimi.”The servant went off in a rush, bowing to the Toku Champion: “Sama, Lady Mitsouko-sama is coming in few moments. If you won’t mind to wait a minute. She’s in fact insisted to ask you for not leave without see her…”But before Mimiko could turn to come back to the room, Mitsouko slided the door, semi combed and simply dressed. A bit pale, maybe. Sanjuro could see her fiery eyes fixed in his face. They can talk by themselves, and are saying: “Of course you have something very important to say.”"Sanjuro-sama?"OCC: ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png)

Sanjuro saw the servant woman mimi and heard the message she conveyed. Then he saw Mitsouko and the fire in her eyes. It was nice to see that. Sanjuro returned the look back like a inferno was going on inside his.
"I love you Mitsouko!" Sanjuro said bluntly as though nothing else mattered in the world. He didn't care about protocol, he didn't care about proper channels. All that mattered at that moment was her and him. Locked gazes at each other. To him no one even existed at that moment. Sanjuro moved his right hand and caressed her cheek resting his hand there. Sanjuro smiled at her. This past week with her had been the happiest time since his family passed away, he knew Mitsouko was special and he didnt dare miss his opportunity to tell her.
Sanjuro drew in a deep breath and leaned down to Mitsouko and kissed her. Holding his lips there for what seemed an eternity, and to Sanjuro an eternity didn't seem long enough....

Kenpachi's walls echoed with the profession of love. Kenpachi cleared his throat and winked to a servant. To be young. Much like my son, I imagine. Kenpachi smiled, his lord was 10 years his junior, and had many intersting moments ahead of him.
Kenpachi turned around and started speaking to another servant. "Make sure that no one disturbs the south hall for the next two hours at least. Also, please tell Hani to bring my father's sword from the shrine. Kenpachi walked to the garden. Love was blooming. Kenpachi would speak to Sanjuro-sama. He had no immediate family, and he would need someone to mediate the matter. Kenpachi smiled looking at the spot he last saw his wife. Perhaps now that Sanjuro-sama felt Benten's Touch, he would assist with the matter with his son.
