From the Sanzu River, Kaoru, now under Akumaro's influence, sat and watched her former retainers as they tried to live out their daily lives. She smirked to herself as a plan formed in her mind to taunt her brother before killing him. If he was to die, then he'll die knowing that he was unable to protect the people he had sworn her to do so. She then laughed at the thought. She was foolish to entrust the leadership of the house to Sakurai, but it worked in her favor; it divided the team into those that supported Sakurai, and those who went against him.
Back to her plan, though. She'd go after his most loyal retainer first... So she kept an eye on Ayane, hoping she could catch her in a situation by herself. "Ayane Kosugi..." she said evilly. "So loyal to your lord... But I wonder... How loyal you are to both him, and the one you love so much...?"

Ayane left the Shiba household alone, going out to town. She said she might be a while, and had told Ryunosuke to stay, for the sake of having someone at least to support Sakurai in her absence.
She was going in a skirt, short boots, a dark pink and black longsleeved shirt, and a pale blue scarf.

Kaoru smirked. Perfect... she thought, planning on exiting through a crack. However, she wasn't going to do so right this second... And especially not in her old outfit, which she still currently wore. She took out her Shodophone and drew a symbol into the air to remedy that.

Ayane kept walking, waiting at a busy street for a while, then turning back. There was an alley she could go through where she could get by without traffic. She headed that way, going inside of it to find herself alone.

Kaoru then silently appeared out of a crack, using her mojikara to hide herself from the bells they placed all over the city. She was wearing a black sleeveless kimono, opened up just enough to reveal her cleavage, and a black hakama with a slit running from her middle thigh to just above her ankle. "Ayane," she said in the tone of voice she once used.

She turned around quickly, "Kaoru-chan...," she said softly. She knew Sakurai's warnings, but ignored them.
Her Hime was back...she approached, running over without a thought.

Kaoru mentally smirked as Ayane ran toward her. "I'm glad to see that you're all right," she told her, putting on a convincing smile.

"So am I," she said, throwing her arms around Kaoru.

Kaoru returned the embrace. "I missed you so much... Where Akumaro took me... It was horrible..."

"How did you escape?" she asked, too blinded by joy to think.

"I managed to catch Akumaro off guard and distract him long enough for me to find an exit..." she lied, still embracing her.

"You must have been very strong then, to escape any sort of spells he would have done. Like what he did to Sakurai. You still have your will," she pointed out.

"I do," Kaoru said. "Since we're here, I wanted to confess something to you..."

"What is it?" she asked.

"I know that I had you and Ryunosuke work out your differences... But I realized how important you were to me when I was captured... So I decided that when I saw you again... I would do this." Kaoru then reached up and passionately kissed Ayane.
