[Clan head is basically not going to be pleased with any report coming in from this day forward because Kaoru can only become more of a shit from here... Meanwhile, far far away at Shieikan, Okita sneezes in the middle of a match because people are talking about him in brackets and gets bopped in the head with a bokken. Good job, friend.
Meanwhile the overseer is wondering whether or not to just toss Kaoru in there with Sen once all is said and done so he can see firsthand how badly he hecked up. Wow. Rude.
Sen, on the other hand, sneers at the bag-toting man. Somehow, she isn't surprised - the Nagumo clan has basically been slinking along on their underbellies for so long that of course they must have had some way of covering their tracks, but she also doesn't think any of her subjects will simply accept whatever explanation they give them.
If this goes badly, she won't be alive to find out whether or not her faith is misplaced. She truly hopes it doesn't come to that.
She is watching him carefully, but he moves so quickly and so suddenly when he does change course that she isn't prepared and the strike to her solar plexus hits home. She's left gasping for breath, and it's easy enough for him to grab her by the chin to force-feed her the poison she had so carefully smuggled into the compound for Kaoru.]
Rrghkk—
[She doesn't want to swallow, but first bits of the powder trickle down her throat before she can muster up the strength to stop gasping for air and spit it back out, and the rest soon follows. Her knees buckle and her shoulders sag; if the two holding her by her wrists were to let go, she would most certainly fall to the ground and curl up in on herself as the poison works its way through her system.
It isn't so severe, at first, but as the seconds tick by her body is wracked by tremors and beads of sweat start to roll down her face. The poison is, overall, slow-acting, but it starts from the inside and works its way out, rotting and decaying her from within. Her demonic abilities are going into overdrive in an attempt to keep it at bay.]
Nnrrgh...
[Her hair begins to bleed white, but no amount of purity in her bloodline will be able to purge this from her system. She'll be left in agony for quite a long time, either until someone gets her a dose of the antidote or until she succumbs. The irony that she's being subjected to what she was intending for the Nagumo clan is not lost on her.]
