One day i was in the library looking for different clans who have ever existed. I couldnt get Suki's face out of my head. I asked Sako about it, her being the wiser one out of the bunch " oh the Ryomen clan...i have heard rumours of a great big empire run by a tyrant emperor and a witch of a wife in the northern side. They serve as the royal family's sorcerers, if memory serves me right.I have never personally met them,but they are quite reserved, nor the likes of the people there, but i also heard that the Ryomen clan are quite kind, despite their emperor's nature. They are known for having human slaves and many inhumane blood rituals. But like i said, these are rumours so i do not know the full story. Nonetheless , you could always go to the library."

" sweetie, your father and i were talking about announcing about you successful return from the ritual to the entire empire and beyond next week. Do you think that you would be able to adjust that quick?" my mother asked, waltzing into the room. I looked up from my scroll i was studying and smiled " of course, mother, do as you please." my mother smiled and nodded. She noticed the scroll in my hands " studying hard i see?" she sat down next to me " no,"-i shook my head-" i was just looking at the story of the Ryomen clan, seeing that my soulmate came from the Ryomen clan." my mother frowned thoughtfully. " well, i have met the Ryomen clan before but i know that your father has worked closely alongside them before, toppling our previous emperor before this one. You could ask your father about it. Now that i think of it, i remembered that we met after the fated day that the wretched emperor died, both us wives were with child. If im not wrong that was her second child and she was kind and caring. She had her first little boy too, he was 2 at that time maybe?..." my mother said, trailing in her own train of thoughts.I closed the scroll and put it back and slowly stood up. My mother did likewise and straightened out her kimono and smiled sweetly. "Shall we ask your father, then?"

As we walked past the rooms filled with servants, i felt a wave of nausea hit me. I staggered back and my vision doubled. Ringing filled my ears as i slowly felt the world spinning. The last thing i heard was my mother screaming and my father's voice, and the world went black.

" do you think they will wake up?....."..."cant be a coincidence......".."he's safe in the room with her do you think....?".."quickly! She's coming round! I see her hands twitching!......!"

I slowly opened my eyes and slowly my double vision eventually faded. The ringing had ceased and i felt lethargic. Michiyo was doing something i didn't know what, her back turned to face me. "mimi ..........i don't feel good." i mumbled. Michiyo turned in surprise but eventually recollected herself. The took a white cotton fabric with one hand and pushed me down with the other. Gently placing the cool fabric against my burning skin sent pleasing shivers down my spine. Michiyo continued to observe me quietly as carried about making sure that i was comfortable. She could sense my awkwardness and cracked a small smile. "We have visitors today and you were not the only one who collapsed in the middle of nowhere with a raging fever." she said. I could only muster a small and feeble smile. Who was visiting us? I do not remember having guests today.

"The visitors are your father's previous partner, just so happened that the family had passed by our village, they just wanted to drop by, maybe have dinner before leaving...but, then the both young master and you yourself fainted and that plan was wasted.". Michiyo said cautiously, as if reading my mind. Michiyo always had very good intuition and can eerily guess what your thinking at the moment. Some servants say that she was born with a gift. Some say its a curse. She was told all her life that she possessed a special gift that she could read others' minds. Michiyo of course underwent special training to hone her skills and to only use when deemed necessary after coming with us. Every now and than ,she would blurt out random thoughts and made faces when she heard thoughts she didn't need to know.
