[ Yeah, this is pretty much the dumbest move Chizuru could have pulled. Especially since all they've been out for is destroying the Jukkishuu - and trying to assassinate Yase-hime was all just part of that, really. In fact, her swords are so surprising that even Shuu can't hide the look of surprise that appears on his face as he sees them, although he at least manages to make it more surprise than real shock, so it may not seem too suspicious.
But on the inside, he's already quickly trying to think. Because those definitely belong to Yase-hime's people, and does that mean that Chizuru and Kaoru could actually somehow be descendants of Yase-hime herselfZ? Does that mean they'll fail, that she'll wake up again? There would be some serious irony by Kaoru being taken in by a clan thrown out of the Jukkishuu like the Nagumo then, the clan that's been left to fend by itself and suffer from attacks by humans and demons alike, with not Yase-hime nor her people even giving them a second thought..
He hates them. Because they didn't help him when their village was being destroyed, their land claimed by humans. They didn't help him when his father committed suicide because he was unable to handle the guilt of having been unable to stop all of it.
This girl is one of them, and it would be a lie to say that Shuu's temper doesn't make him feel like wanting to kick the living shit out of her right here and now for it. To make her suffer until she takes responsibility for what happened, until someone does, no matter whether it's Ishida Mitsunari or the Jukkishuu or Yase-hime or this girl, just someone--
Argh, he has to keep himself together here and he knows it though. He doesn't know enough yet, doesn't know about her abilities or how much of a chance he'd stand. No matter how difficult it is, he tries to swallow his rage down, even as his hand twitches lightly by his side because god this is the worst possible scenario. ]
One of Suzuka Gozen's weapons, right? Anyone'd be a fool to not recognize it! [ It's definitely harder to seem like his usual cheerful-with-a-weird-edge self right now, but he manages. Mostly. ] They should've been in Yase-hime's care, or otherwise it's possible she passed it down to someone of the Jukkishuu. So you must've come from one of those families!
[ From the worst scum possible, good job, Chizuru..!! ]
