Solana watched as he left the room. Finding the strength to stand she observed what appeared to be a bedroom. For such a large room there was hardly anything to fill up the space. It was very spacious having an extensive bed with a lot of pillows and white sheets on it. There was a bookshelf to the far right and a couch to the left sitting next to it an odd-shaped chair.

"Is this his room? why would he bring me here" she thought as she walked to the bed and sat on it. Solana began to recap everything she just went through. It all happened so fast. "What's a 10tails?" She thought lying on her back. Taking a deep breath in her eyebrows furred. The bed lingered with the scent of sandalwood. She took notice of how it smelled exactly like the man who dragged her here.

"I've only been conscious for a week now and I've already been taken, hostage. My death is already being planned.." Solana thought to herself. "Is there truly nothing I can do? Am I to wait until I'm devoured by this 10 tails?" . Knowing she was powerless against the man she still pondered on anything she could do that would stop him. But of course, nothing came to mind. "I really am pathetic". A single tear fell from her eye. "This man needs me for a reason.. for his plan. To him my life must hold some kind of value.." She thought.

Jigen currently sat at the dining table. He had a glass of wine in his right hand and the left hand was resting on the table. Closing his eyes he placed his cup down. "Storing her in my room was the right call. Anywhere else and someone could find her". From the first time he and Solana met the decision to not inform kara of her existence was set. Only he needed to know for now. Just until his vessel is complete.

Though he knew of the many risks that came with keeping her hidden. If someone were to discover her it would create distrust among the inners. Something isshiki needs to avoid at all costs. But solely that's the reason she's in his room. When establishing the rules jigen made it clear his chambers were off-limits. From the fact not a drop of chakra is emitting from the girl no one could guess she's there.

Jigen took another sip of his wine and sighed. "You look unhappy" amado started making his way into jigens view. "Amado. Yes, it might appear that way" he nonchalantly replied. "Updates?" He then asked sipping more of his drink. "Everything is on schedule. The only part left is the transfer of your karma" Amado said. Jigen stood up. "Thank you amado. Your work is outstanding as always" he said as he walked away.
