“Sanjuro, forgive me. That was so suddenly indeed.” heavy tears rolled but she didn’t make a movement to sweep them, as if they were not rolling. “You, Mimiko, go to the physician and bring him here. Tell Yojiro we must be on our way back home after the noon. After that, come back here to get me ready… I need to talk to Ryo-san. As soon the servant ran out of the tent, Mitsouko looked firmly at Sanjuro. “So, I made a right choice last night.”

"There is nothing to forgive Mitsouko, I also lost my parents. I know what you feel. I also know that you need to know, if you are anywhere near how I am. especially being a magistrate to boot. You need to resolve this, I know this. I believe I know you." Sanjuro took a step near Mitsouko.
"As far as last night, it was beautiful. You are a sword maiden, both beautiful with a artisan soul and as sharp as the greatest magistrate. I love you and i will stand by with you always." Sanjuro smiled slightly at her.
"I need to find your cure Mitsouko, I do not wish to leave you, but I must stand with you by ensuring you will be ok. I will head to the Scorpion lands still to search for the cure. I sent a falcon with a request to my friend Shosuro Ichiro the Shosuro family Daimyo. Surely he can help!" Sanjuro looked solumn he obviously didn't want to leave Mitsouko, but he hoped his words to her would give her strength for what was to come.
"I will return to you, Mitsouko, my love."

She reached her obi and loosed the ties of a netsuke made of umoregi material. She took the inro, both pieces were adorned with a peach tree. From the inro, a fragrant jasmine and peach blossom smell, Mitsouko’s very scent, come to Sanjuro’s nostrils. The same deep tone in her voice, but Mitsouko was not crying anymore. She bowed to him, the inro in her both hands: “ Take it. Please. It’s a present my grandfather gave me in the day of my gempukku. And inside, there’s the present my mother gave me. If… we cannot see one another in time, you will have a… souvenir of me. Please.”

Sanjuro bowed deeply and outstretched his field hands. Mitsouko gently placed the inro in Sanjuro's hands. It was beautiful because it belonged to her and she decided to give one to Sanjuro. It meant the world to him. He inhaled deeply and could smell the jasmine and peach blossom. "I will not fail Mitsouko, and i will find my way back to you. nothing would keep me from finding my way back." Sanjuro closed his eyes capturing this moment, this promise. he steped forward once more staring into Mitsouko's eyes. he saw purpose, he saw a thirst for knowledge. he had stirred that fight in her that she needed to resolve this. Sanjuro knew this. He loved her he knew it and he wanted to see her through this. He opened his eyes and saw her. He heard people starting to stir towards the tent. All he wanted to do right there was embrace her and kiss her. She saw it too and knew as well.

Mitsouko kept holding his hand with hers, while looking inside Sanjuro's eyes. But the moment was broken when Asahina Haru announced himself and entered the tent. She retreated and bowed to the newcomer. 'Thank you to come to see me so quickly and kindly, Haru-san. The effects of this drug you gave me last night, I see it is finishing. You said me you have a little more. I think I will need to travel back home. I had bad news... my father is dead." Haru-san did not showed surprise nor anything else than concern. "Mitsouko-san, I was counting on you to travel back your home. Ryo-san was preparing to send you home anyway. I will give you the remedy I have. It's not much, but Sanjuro-sama is determined to get the antidote in time. All you need to do is try to rest the more you can. I will also send a letter to a comrade in the court. He will take care of you, I assure you." "Thank you very much, Haru-san. You are saving my life." Mitsouko bowed again to the physician. "Not I." he bowed in return. "The one who bring you the cure will have the merit. I am only delaying the advance of the poison through your heart. I must have it prepared to your departure, excuse me Mitsouko-san. Sanjuro-sama." Haru-san bowed to both before leaving. "Good bye, Sanjuro." Mitsouko said, holding her hands together and hiding them by the sleeves. She tried to keep her resolve pose, but her eyes were a sea of feelings.

Sanjuro stood there looking still into her eyes. He could see in her. That sea of emotion. He knew because it was in his eyes too! He didn't want to leave, but he knew he had to. Her life was in the balance and he had to save her. Sanjuro wet his lips and whispered "I love you Mitsouko, I am with you. Always." Sanjuro knew he had to go, but he looked at her every second he could before he turned to leave the tent holding the inro tightly in his hands.
The light rain hid the tears......

Daidoji Ryo tell her the bad news, in an official and concerned way. His brother-in-law, a Bayushi named Kyoji, brought the news and could accompany Mitsouko to Kyuden Doji, where she once lived with her father. "Cousin, I would wish to take you there myself, not only because your fragile health right now but for honoring your father as well. But I had reports of a strange beast hidden in the forest. This is causing deaths and of course can be a problem. It can be sorcery, I don't know. I need to stay here and accomplish the duty our clan had chose for me in first. As soon as possible, I will join Sanjuro-sama in Scorpion lands to help him to get the antidote, if needed. Mitsouko-san, I need you to deliver our clan a letter, we need someone able to discover if it is an oni. If it is, we need to know who conjure it." Ryo gave her the letter. " I trust you to do your last duty under my orders. As I think someone here would soon be in Toku lands..." He smiled to his cousin. "Be strong, Mitsu-chan. I want to be in your wedding, soon." She smiled, fighting again with weakness. "Yes, Ryo, I will be. Thank you."
OCC: Three Sides River part of this story is over right now, so is this thread as well. Thank you guys! There's a wedding-to-be, a possibility of an oni, a tentative of murder (or two!) and more to come!
