         O'Kiku, a young kunoichi with spirit of the sun, instantly heard the gong from an official, which commanded “Yuyu” to go to the royal palace where the Warlord resided, so he could inform Yuyu on his mission. O'Kiku just simply followed him from behind. She always looked up to him as a master, even though she's barely known him for one year.

Since they were above the Warlord, it wasn't such an adventure for O'Kiku. She imitated Yuyu's arrival to the Warlord, landing on the wooden pavement. She saw him kneeling to the floor, out of courtesy, so she followed, feeling a little ashamed at how considerably late she was on the command, especially since she was in the palace longer.

Yuyu opened the door in front of them, announcing themselves to the Warlord.
