"What?! Are you certain?!" Kojurou sounded both relieved and panicked at the same time. If it was him, he could tell them the fate of Megohime and if she was still alive.
 
“I’m certain, he’s the man in the photo you showed me.” Her voice crackled over the radio. So if Masamune lived, did that mean Megohime might have as well?
 
Kojurou moved quickly out of the office and out of the manor, stopping when Masamune made his way up the path.
"Date!" He called. MAsamune was in a sorry state, holding his stomach to keep his guts in, his suit bloody and covered in dirt. Masamune looked up when he heard Kojurou and suddenly all his strength left him. He made it. His knees gave out and he crumpled to the floor like a fresh cut puppet. Kojurou moved over quickly and tried to pick him up, yelling for someone to help.
 
A few of the house hands ran out to help Kojurou carry Masamune back inside the manor, where Jin and a few others were already preparing what they might need to examine and treat Masamune.
“I’ve called the surgeon already, he’s on his way with his own team and will be here shortly.” She said, worry etched softly on her face when she saw the condition Masamune was in, would he even make it?
 
"Arigatou..." Kojurou muttered. He hoped and prayed Masamune would pull through. He had lost so much blood already, but if he had the will to make it here from where ever he was, he would have the will to stay alive.
 
Masamune only dreamt of horrible things, Megohime being hurt, over and over, her cries of pain echoing out in his mind, filling his head; they became mind numbing. Over and over he watched her hand broken, her being struck in the head over and over until her face was a bloody mess- then, he woke. He was in a dimly lit room, staring up at the ceiling, only the soft noise of fabric moving from elsewhere in the room reaching his ears.
 
A woman he hadn’t seen before moved over, long messy blonde hair and glasses. “Please don’t try to move yet, you’ve just been seen back up.” She said, voice soft but firm as she put a hand on his chest to stop him from getting up.
 
“Katakura-sama is working on finding Tamura-sama, he tasked me with keeping you alive until he can come speak with you.” She said, frowning softly and retracting her hand.
 
Jin has him sitting back in bed before he could register that he was no longer standing. “You may be vital to finding Tamura-sama, we cannot afford to lose our only lead.”
 
Jin had no words to soothe him, frowning softly; it was very likely she was dead, and that nothing would be found, but they had to try. “Please rest, celebrer has been administered to you, but your body still needs time to process it.”
 
He laid down, even though every muscle screamed for him to just book it and find Megohime, but she was right. He had to wait, as much as he hated it.
 
Patrols around the edges of the Chosokabe colony had been increased, with how bad the political climate had gotten, it was only fair things had grown more tense.
 
Haruto only gave a slight shrug, hands in the pockets of his pants as he trudged along. “Can you really blame him? He lost his kid and now his girl, and he still has to hold everything together..”
 
He sighed and scratched his head, then something caught his eye, a figure, mostly varied by bags of trash at the corner of an alleyway. “Hey... do you see that?”
 
“There have been more bodies to clean up as of late..” Haruto moved over and cautiously crouched down, moving a bag to see them. He frowned at the sight, the woman beaten so badly her face could hardly be considered a face. His eyes widened when he saw she was still breathing, and he quickly started to pull the trash off of her. “Call for a car back to base, she’s still alive..!”
 
The car came quickly, and the medical team on staff was alerted about the woman they found, hoping that she’d hang on just a bit longer. A general description of the woman was sent ahead as well; no tags, petite, with pale skin and black hair. Was it Nana that they had found?
 
Motochika was obviously given first word, and he hurried off to the room she would be placed in to wait for her. Was it Nana? Did they find her?
