Akira chuckled, she was amused by just how cute Setsuna was acting "You're uncertainty is understandable" Akira says "I understand there are still tension between the clans. However, I'm not asking you to follow a Lord, what I'm asking is we band together..." She says she looks away for a moment "I suppose I too would be uncertain about following a Faceless lord...very well then" Akira says "Akira! No!" Her Grandfather shouts "Grandfather! Hush!" She reaches for the mask and then pulls it off her face her eyes closed for a second before she opens them. "I do not expect you to follow me right this moment...but please...give this some though...the Gendoshuu are a threat we cannot handle on our own" She says. Akira stands up "Wait!" Izumi cries running towards Akira. "I uh...Akira was it?" Izumi says Akira nods "Yes...that is my name" She says looking away from Izumi "I uh...I...I want you to know...you'll have the full support of the Hidekaka Clan...I'll make sure of it" He says
"...Thank you" Akira says, not even looking him in the eye as she walked passed him.

From a crack in the wall, Shitari watches the events unfolding around them "So there really is a new Shinken Red! This is most desterbining indeed..." Shitari says pacing back and fourth. A bowl of Sake in hand, Doukou downs it in one gulp before smashing the plate over the Nanashi Renchu that was serving him "This is unexcetpable!!!!" He shouts "The Tomone Clan...is the only clan powerful enough to defeat me! But if that woman can somehow unite the waring clans together...we cannot allow that to happen!" He says
Dayu stops strumming on her guitar and looks at Dokukou "Dokukou-sama, if I may suggest..." She says "What?" He asks "I recall there being a seventh clan...a clan of assasians. Perhaps we can employ their services?" Dayu asks
"Hmmmm...yes! use the assasians to cause chaos amongst the clans! Do it Dayu!" Dokukou says. Dayu bows "As you wish..." She says
