Michibiki had conferred with the other members of the Oni Council; including his father, the former Michibiki, the former Kabuki, the former Fubuki, Shuki, and a few others. Kabuki and Nishiki had made their reports, and if they were true, they were disturbing.
"Zanki and Mujaki inside some secret facility guarded by an Otoroshi," Shuki said, "I don't like that."
"But what can we do?" Michibiki asked.
"We challenge and question them," Shuki said.
"But if we do that, and something is wrong, we reveal our hands," his father said.
"Then what?" the former Kabuki asked.
Someone came and handed a message to Michibiki. They were in a meeting on sensitive information, so he wouldn't be allowed to leave. How had he even gotten inside? Michibiki looked at the letter.
He hurried out without explanation, leaving the others to deliberate. They were in the main base of Takeshi at the moment, inside of a village designed to train Oni, where younger Oni lived with older, retired Oni, and Oni who would take trainees from here. He ignored every one of them who tried to talk to him. He had to go. Now.
The letter revealed that a Makamou had been slain, but the Oni had failed to report in. No doubt captured by the Rosutoni, as some had been. But this one was personal. It was Amaki; his last trainee.

Nishiki was sitting in his house. The battle with Otoroshi had been more strenuous on him than he thought, and he was resting on his couch, watching a bit of TV. A large portion of his torso was covered in bandages from where he had sustained injury.

Danki had been away, training his wind properly...he hadn't seen Amaki for a while, and while that was fine....he didn't really have an attachment to her of sorts, (Or so he kept telling himself), part of him began to be concerned.
Now he walked through the town, a bit worried about her, considering the rumors of abductions...and saw someone going out of the council chambers up ahead. "Michibiki-san!" he called out, trying to get their attention.

Michibiki saw Danki as he hurried on, slowing for only a moment, "I don't have time right now, Danki-san," he told the other Oni.

"I'll run with you, it's just one question." Danki said, running in the same direction that Michibiki was going. "Have you seen Amaki-chan at all? I've not heard from her in a while...and I'm a bit worried."

He looked at Danki, "I haven't seen her in a while," he said, not saying more.

"I've never known ... a Council member... to lie..." Danki said, running along with him still. "If something has happened to her.... I would drop everything in a heartbeat to go help her however I could....I don't know what she'd think of me...but a man has to do what a man needs to do..." Danki added, still running.

"I haven't," he told Danki, slowing a little, looking at the other Oni for a few moments, "I have a job to do. As a member of the Council, and as a senior Oni."

"Does that job concern her? If it doesn't I'm sorry to have bothered you, but if it does you have my aid whether its needed or not." Danki said...he was serious.

"It does," he said, thinking for a few moments, "Under normal circumstances...this wouldn't be my course of action. But...she was my last trainee. Danki, how much do you care about her?" he asked, seeing it in the younger man's eyes.

"I love her sir." Danki said without hesitation. "I was a little clumsy and flawed in trying to say it...but look into my eyes, you know it's there, no matter what happens."

"You love her?" he asked, nodding once, "You've heard the reports of Oni captured by the enemy, correct?"

"Yeah, worries the hell out of me sir...not just for her but for all the Oni." Danki said nodding in reply.

He didn't sugarcoat it, "She's the latest loss."

"Had a gut feeling something was wrong. Whatever you need me to do to help get her back, consider it done." Danki said
