"You will depart immediately for Japan." Kaikou spoke to Junko with his back turned to her. The asian holding a cup of tea in one hand, while he peered out the double doors of his new home. "and you will take all the retainers with you. Shinju has made it clear that if I return now, it could come off as a sign we intend to strike the Hakken for what happened at the shipyard."

Junko was finally making a different face for once, but it was not a smile, rather a glare. "This is not the way, they did not attack our boat for anything it had on it. They attacked it to try to get you to send me back and away! It's what they want, for you to put all the Oita back in Japan and make it so you can't return, not with out trouble. I refuse your order, it is wrong."

Kaikou growled as he set the cup down, turning about to face his cousin. "You will do as your elder commands you, little girl or I will put your unconcious body on the plane my self. You will go to Japan and you will give Shinju these orders as I trust no one else with them. Lord Oda was poisoned, we do not even know if he will survive the night. The Oita are to divide its forces between the shipping company, the Oda clan and our home. We should not consolidate all of our true family in one place. If I return home, we will be fighting Hakken and who ever else is striking us from the shadows. It could be the Nezumi or the Nagah or even the Kuei-Jin. The Hakken for once are not thirsty for a fight with us."

The woman was still glaring at Kaikou when his tone grew vicious and hard. The small asian commanded a lot of authority when he wanted to, even under such a youthful body. Junko finally bowed her head in subservience to the elder. "I shall obey. What are you hoping for, that the tigers will protect you if it is Nezumi?"

Kaikou shook his head. "The tigers are seperate from us, I will not drag them in to eastern affairs, over wars and fueds that have existed since before even this country was formed. If they do come, I assure you they will do their best to avoid the tigers here." Kaikou picked up the brush, marking down last words in side the piece of paper before it was sealed and closed up in a leather satchel. "Deliver this to Lord Oda if he survives or the succeeding Khan."

Junko nodded her head slowly, before the other fox reached out to brush her cheek. With his free hand he placed the satchel in her care. "Do honor to the clan, Junko Oita, one day you will lead it." It almost sounded like a good bye, though Kaikou narrowed his eyes. "When this trouble is over, I expect you to return so we may continue working together so you may better your self and I may better my self."

She bowed her head deeper to Kaikou before she began to move back out the way she came. Kaikou's voice rang out, causing her to stop. "You will not call Jenna Foster on this either, she has her own problems." The thought had crossed Junko's mind, but it was not shut as she stepped out the door, where several armed men waited for her. The stone laid path was lined with several men armed with weapons, three cars waiting to escort Junko to the airport and back to Kyushu.
