The manor is rather big, but only enough for the original 8. All other members are allowed to visit, but they have to seek else where to stay. It comfortably facilitates their every need, whether it be sleeping, eating, or training.

Ken had woken up early and been practicing his techniques ever since. He had been focusing on one troublesome move in particular. He called it: Burning Wind Blade, it was elemental move based on fire and wind. When perfectly combined, the move would be a game winner. The gust of wind would be strong enough to cut through the toughest of metal, while the flames would work as explosion to set the target on fire and burning them to death. But, things weren't going as planned. One element would always be stronger than the other or they wouldn't work together at all.
Breathing in deeply, he began to summon and manipulate the elements around him. It will work this time. He stood perfectly with his hands at his sides before moving his feet apart, transferring to his offensive stance. Red amber began to surround his left hand, while wind swirled around his right. Opening his hands, he caused the two elements to erupt. The flames were now big and bright; the wind was strong and howled loudly. Then in a quick movement, he slammed his hands together sending the elements hurdling towards the mountain side.
BOOM!
It had worked!
The elements were in perfect sync. The wind had cut deep within the mountain and the flames had caused a nice explosion causing a small avalanche. A small smirk now sat on ken's face as he marveled at the destruction he had just caused. He was so happy at his recent success that he thought he would go down and have a drink at Kyoujin. This was a little odd for him, he would usually continue with his training, but he had been working on the technique for so long, he just had to go celebrate.

Behind the screen there is a white lounge where lies lazily, Tsukiko Amaya. But to most that name is dead, unknown, forgotten and hidden away like a bad dream. She is known now only as White Lady and to some, the White Widow. The room is filled with white smoke, opium. It fills the air and makes everything hazy and slow.
Tsukiko dressed in a white kimono, lies slumped on the couch lazily fanning herself with a small white feathered fan. The air moving unnaturally around her so that the effects of opium would not make her as giddy and giggly as a little girl. Tsukiko was moving the air around her, she was controlling it, bending it to her will.
The paper screen door allowing entrance to the room was pulled open and a middle aged man, short, dirty and dressed in a farmer peasants attire wandered in to the room. He coughed from the smoke and sat down on the black cushion before him an pulled the door closed.
"Who's there?" said Tsukiko softly from behind the screen.
"Uh, Rorn Hakori my Lady" said the man slowly
"Ah!" said Tsukiko in exclamation. "My Trading friend, how goes the world of Trade"
" Ah, Yesh maam, all goes well!" Rorn was beginning to succumb to the Opium's drugging effects
Tsukiko chuckled " And i presume, that the shipment i asked for is downstairs?"
Rorn sat silently with his head bowed.
"Rorn?" asked Tsukiko softly who's voice had become suddenly quiet.
"I'm so sorry" he started muttering. "oh! , My Lady!" he added quickly "It was taken from us, ambushed by thieves, they are growing more common these days!" he said groveling
"Oh" Tsukiko said sadly. "This makes me very sad Rorn".
"I'm sorry my lady!" he said loudly Throwing himself in a low bow of praise whilst kneeling on the black cushion.
"And you know what happens when we make mistakes, don't we Rorn" Tsukiko said softly and silkily tormenting the weeping man before her.
"Please My Lady!" said Rorn Hysterically. "Forgive me Please!" The drug was now in full swing he was hallucinating, white foam bubbling at his mouth, he was in a state of paranoi.
"Go-" "Od-" "Bye-" said Tsukiko slowly and cruelly
Rorn wailed loudly and a long metal pin with a small white string on the end, shot out of the paper canvas and made a little hole in it as it flew towards the screaming figure of Rorn. Rorn opened his eyes and turned around. Stuck in the door behind him was the pin. 'Had she missed?' he thought excitedly. 'The lady never misses!' he informed himself and gulped loudly. He then felt it, a sting in his shoulder he looked at it then wished he hadn't. The shock had succumbed the pain momentarily but now he saw and started to feel the wound he screamed. The pin had gone through his shoulder completely. He slumped to the floor screaming and kicking wildly in pain and clutching his bleeding arm.
"What a pity, the floor will stain" said Tsukiko cruelly and walked out from behind the screen that split the room in two and walked past the man slumped on the floor and opened the screen door. "You have three days to replace the shipment, or i will fill your body with holes like that one" and she left the room, her two kunoichi guards following her.

Daishisen gluided up to meet her, and bowed low in salutation. "Good afternoon Shiro(white)-dono. You are looking as lovely as usual." Her tone was cool and even, respectful but not submissive. She knew Lady Tsukiko's power was great, but mostly elementally surprise-oriented.

"Thank you Daishisen-sama your looking well yourself, sorry about the noise but-" she paused as she watched two servants dressed in brown kimono's carried the wounded tradesman out of the room. Her face filled with amusement, and her cheeks became red from embarrassment. "Ah-"
She paused again as the man let out a wail , echoing through the halls. "The shipment of Explosives we ordered you see, did not arrive as i thought it would"
She frowned "In fact it was taken from us, by bandits, so in my temper, i kind of pierced his shoulder with a needle, Accidently of course" she smiled.
And walked over to the small veranda opposite her room and lent on it. "I grow weary Leader - sama" she said lazily. "We have almost what we require, and yet, we sit and do nothing!"
"When will we finally make our move?"

"I think tonight has the making of a massacre, and when the others return from whence they are, we will devise a strike upon them. As you can imagine, the school has been a safety net for those who sleep warmly at night. And, if it is eliminated..." She paused to allow her companion fill in the blank.
"They will be so greatly vulnerable to an attack, like a Bird in an open field during hunting season" she said calmly her lips curling into a cruel smile. She turned and whispered something into Kaoru's ear one of Tsukiko's Hand maidens and then proceeded to sit in the chair behind her, gesturing Daishisen to do the same. Kaoru and Kaori bowed and left.
"Then we must call the other members, but i am sure you have already done that?"

Tsukiko went horribly silent. She had been waiting for an opportunity like this for some time. "I see, but it would prove, quite difficult alone." she said softly. "And if i was to do it, i would require the shipment that was taken by the bandits,but i am sure it can be easily replaced" she said quickly.
She played with her fan while she talked moving the white feathers here and there. "And i intend, to... Send the Master Sky High, and fill him so full of pins that i could sell him as a pin cushion."
