You soon come upon the source of the ruckus, two women arguing. On the right, stands a shrine maiden. Her back is as straight as a blank, and her hair is dark and long. Her voice matches her appearance, but it is too polite and soft to over come her opponent. On the left is a women dressed like a Yakuza, hers is the voice you remember. Her voice is as abrasive as her personality, dominating her opponent on the field of shear belligerence. Despite being out matched in a shouting contest, the shrine maiden holds her ground and shows no fear. Its almost as if she is seeing right through her opponent and far past her. You can only hear one side of the match, but you listen in anyway.
"How many times do I need to repeat myself huh? We don't owe you anything, you damn monk"
"Oh go pray over it, maybe an oni will come down and take you!"
"Didn't do the job right, why should I care then?"
"I don't see how its our problem"
"<span class="mu-i">A dog should know its place</span>"
"Do something about it then, yeah that's what I thought."
The shrine maiden eventually turns around and walks away. Her opponent clearly takes it as a victory and expresses it with a wide grin accompanying a look of satisfaction. Quickly turning back into a demon, she attacks the crowd of onlookers.
"What are you all gawking at? CLEAR OUT unless you want trouble."
This women must command some authority with the locals, because they do as she instructs. As the crowd disperses, you are left standing alone. Yuki has taken to pressing his back against yours, standing almost completely in your large shadow and out of sight. When she sees someone has decided to stick around and look for that trouble, she squares up for another confrontation. So soon after the first, yet she doesn't lose a single step. In a moment of clarity, she recognizes you. There is less subtlety in her face then Yuki, as her eyes open wide. You are now sure you know her and she knows you. Instead of coming over to make good on her warning, she instead turns right around and stalks off without a word. You are ready to follow but Yuki stands firm.
"I do believe that women recognizes you. I would suggest, however, that instead of running head first after her, we prepare for our encounter. These people clearly know her, she can't escape us. That other women however, may be harder to find. What does your instinct tell you?"
>Which way swords man?
- [25][Stone faced Samurai] Its your investigation, why are you asking me?
- [35][Reserved Swordsmen] My instinct tells me its all connected, lets follow after the maiden first.
- [21][Master less Ronin] She knows me, and she is going to tell someone I'm coming. We should strike while we have the advantage of surprise.
- [21][Honour less Scoundrel] Its your investigation, why are you asking me?
>BONUS
-"Where exactly do you think all this breaks down?"
What did Yuki mean by this?
