Shiba Kondo
Shiba opened his eyes slowly, looking up at the rays of sunlight broke through in between the leaves of the tree. As he looked towards the entrance to the village Aya was still nowhere in sight. "How long does it take to get ready to leave?" Shiba thought to himself as he sighed. As he slowly started to stand up he could hear Aya in the distance saying bye to everyone. Aya emerged from the entrance of the village in her normal attire looking ecstatic. "Did you take long enough or should I take another nap." Shiba said with a smirk.
Aya puffed up her cheeks and crossed her arms, and proceeded to lecture Shiba on why its impolite to rush a lady. After Aya finally noticed that Shiba had all, but stopped paying attention. They proceeded to get on with the long trek from Kazama village to the Yukimura village. As they walked with an escort for a short distance until they reached the outside of another small human village. There a wagon was waiting with two deep tan colored horses, the escort helped Aya up onto the wagon Shiba. Shiba grabs the reins and looks at Aya "You ready, it's going too be a few days before we arrive. I have already arranged for some places along the way were we can stop, eat, and sleep."
A few days go by as the two travel by wagon, and get ever so closer to the Yukimura village. By now they were still a day or two out, but as Shiba looks around his eyes start to close ever slow slightly. He could feel as his body tells him to sleep while his mind tells him to push onwards, the constant long uneventful days have slowly drained him with little time to sleep since he is constantly staying awake to watch over Aya since they are away from home and unprotected. As Shiba repeatedly blinks trying to stay awake, his body slowly nods back and forth in a tired fashion. Shiba looks over, as Aya sleeps and decides it's better to stop then to risk an accident. He pulls off towards a rather fair sized village and gets directions towards the nearest inn, they arrive and after sneaking Aya into one of the rooms as to not alert anyone to her presence Shiba finally sits down in the corner exhausted from the countless hours awake.
Aya convinces Shiba somehow to take a nap at least so that he can recover his energy. As he lies down, he can feel his breathing get heavier and a headache set in. Quickly Shiba drifts in to sleep and is completely out.
