     Glad for the lack of resistance this time around, she waits for his answer and excuses herself briefly to gather the supplies she’ll need. The back of her master’s residence is just as well stocked as the clinic itself for the express purpose of treating patients in his line of work. Putting some water to boil, she brings over the doctor’s secondary kit as well as a tea tray with a small pot and two cups. As a courtesy, she mixes the leaves in front of him and sets them aside to be steeped once the water is ready.

“If I may.” She says, gesturing towards his arm and waiting patiently for him to remove the gear and the fabric in the way. When the wound came into sight, her eyes widened in surprise. The cut wasn’t too extensive in length, but it was considerably deep. Is this what he considers slight and negligible? “You need stitches.” 

                        hanzo begins removing his gear as she starts the tea, carefully slipping his wounded arm out of his sleeve.  he tries to stifle it, but he grits as the fabric brushes against the wound  —  a momentary lapse before he returns to his stillness from before. 

                    ❝  you can do it?  ❞  he questions.  the other shinobi must’ve hit him harder than he realized, but he surely paid them back satisfactorily.  ❝  i will also need a change of clothes, if the doctor has any to spare.  ❞  as much as he didn’t want to leave this armor behind, it was best he didn’t have the scent of all this blood on him if he were to leave tonight.

|| 茜 || :: he will be back … he promised he’ll be back.

that was what the SUZAKU had been ensuring herself ever since she had came here, every single day since that promised date. the sunset had always been beautiful, and it reminded her of that LAST SUNSET they saw together before he had to depart. really, he was the dutiful one, she knew … and she loves him for that.

                that’s why — even though he didn’t show up for days, she still came here … she still waited. because he’s the type to keep his promise. he said he’d be back, and he would.

                the moment she HEARD his voice, eyes of vermilion found themselves landed upon the very person she had been longing to see. heart stopped in that split second and though he paused as though unsure, she was already closing the gap between them. arms wrapped tightly around his form and digits clutched IN LONGING against his back, expression buried deep to his chest. even without words, her feeling for him was as clear as day.

                “ welcome back. ” voice muffled gently to his clothing, but the way her fingers grappled almost desperately to his back spoke of that lingering fear she had kept inside. she wanted to know that he was really here, that it wasn’t some illusion she had dreamed up in her sleep. so many things she wanted to say.

                i miss you. i was so scared something had happened to you. it’s been too long. i miss you so much … so so much …

                “ … i’m so glad you’re safe, hanzo. ”

                    when she touches him, warmth blossoms over his skin, seeps deep into his bones, pushes a sigh so soft and quiet past his lips.  and though he hesitates, familiar awkwardness slowing his movements, his arms eventually wrap around her as well, holding her close.  instinctively, he presses his lips to the top of her head, bestowing a feather-light kiss to her hair.  

                     ❝  i apologize for making you wait.  ❞  hanzo notes the way her fingers clutch at his back and feels the need to apologize;  he hadn’t meant to worry her, to cause her anymore distress in her life.  he wanted to be her solace and all that guilt for leaving her  —  that feeling he had buried to make it possible for him to go on this mission  —  comes rushing back.

                     ❝  i won’t leave for a while this time.  ❞  he wishes he could say that he wouldn’t ever leave, but if nothing else, he was always honest.  he could promise her time before he would depart again and he hoped that was good enough.

     It’s strange. He is clearly proficient in making himself invisible, leagues above herself and most shinobi she’s met along the way. Yet, even with him out of sight as she turns around to grab some rags, all of her senses are tuned to his presence. It’s not her training that allows her to keep track of him, but rather something more basal. Despite rationally knowing she’s safe by virtue of association to her master, her instincts still refuse to ignore the threat he poses.

“Here.” Indicating one of the cushions by the small table, she drapes the rags over it so he’ll be able to at least take a seat. Having him just standing there would be even worse. “Are you injured?” She asks again, now that they’ve somewhat established that it is of her concern.

                         at her prompting, his gaze flickers over to her, then to the makeshift covering she’s made over one of the seats.  and in a small showing of his gratitude, he gives the slightest nod of his head as he moves to take a seat. 

                          hanzo doesn’t rebuff her question this time, but he does take a moment to answer.  though not before reaching a gloved hand to the mask at his face, tugging it down so his words were less obscured and he could breathe easier.  he’d often keep it on for anonymity’s sake in the presence of a stranger, but he figures the doctor would’ve imparted the art of discretion upon her first and foremost.  ❝  only a slight cut to my arm.  ❞  for one man against multiple, that was amazing.  for him against multiple, it was one of his less impressive performances.  still, most of the blood was certainly not his.  ❝  it is negligible.  but you may inspect it if you wish.  ❞

*  —  akane  //  @aestuavis​  .

                   it’s been so long.  it’s been too long.  on his way back, he’s attempted to count the days:  three months, one week, four days.  that’s how long it’s been since he told her goodbye.  ever the dutiful shinobi, he put his obligation to his master before his desire to stay with her, but now  ...  now he had finally returned, and he could only hope that he could find her here. 

                  he was a few days off from when he told her that he’d return.  did she wait?  did she remember?  

                  there’s newfound urgency in his steps, rare and unfamiliar uneasiness fluttering in his gut.  what if he made her wait too long?  what if she believed something happened to him and he was never coming back?  what if  —

                  ❝  akane.  ❞  her hair is like fire, stands out even against the red-orange of the darkening sky.  relief washes over him like a tidal wave.  he’s found her.  ❝  akane,  ❞  he repeats, partly to assure he gets her attention, mostly because he had forgotten how nice her name felt on his lips.  he had forgone his softness on his travels, but it returns all too easily in his voice when he calls out to her.  

                  hanzo stops a few feet in front of her, unsure of what to do.  he wants to hug her, but something stops him.  ❝  i’m  —  ❞  home?  can he say that?  has he been gone too long?  ❝  —  i’ve returned.  ❞

     If his presence had been striking before, it doesn’t compare to how it feels to have his attention truly falling upon her. In order to protect her cover, she should let some discomfort show, but the shiver that ran down her spine was genuine. From that inkling of fear, it was easy to let her body language cower slightly despite her refusal to back down in regards to their conversation.

“I’m not sure. It seemed pretty urgent.” It was rare that the old doctor would go to the patient and not the other way around. He’d left her in charge of the practice despite the contract dictating that her official role with him was that of a scribe - his journals had been grown increasingly illegible of late, oftentimes even to himself, providing a plausible reason for her presence.

Yuzuriha looked over the shinobi again. As late as it might have been, the thought of leaving a man covered in blood standing outside didn’t sit well with her, so she slid the door open to allow him passage. “…Do so inside, then.” 

                        if he notices her discomfort, he does nothing to make her more at ease.  momentarily, he thinks of his master’s words to soften his demeanor, but he dismisses the thought just as quickly as he did then.  

                        with just a nod, he accepts her offer, sheathing his blades and slipping through the doorway.  the idea of waiting for the doctor all night, even if he was ahead of schedule, was not something he planned on.  but a half-hour, maybe more, wouldn’t hurt.

                        once inside, he takes care not to touch anything, all too aware now, in the flicker of candlelight, that there was quite a bit of blood on him.  it leaves him standing in the middle of the room, almost awkward looking, and unnaturally still.

      He is not the first seasoned shinobi fresh out of battle she’s met, but the pressure exerted by his presence is unlike anything she’s ever felt, and it has nothing to do with all the blood. It’s the quietude of his unwavering discipline being starkly at odds with the dangerous feeling he gives off. He looks unguarded despite his weapons still being within his reach, but she finds no openings in his neutral stance.

“I’m afraid it is.” He is standing by the back door of a doctor’s house, after all. And while she knows her master deals with shinobi on a regular basis in matters she is not privy to, if this one is looking for medical assistance, she’s all he has right now. “Nagayo-sensei is out on a house call.”  

                     her words draw further scrutinization, and for the first time since she’s stood before him, hanzo takes the time to truly study her;  his stare is cool, unwavering, betraying nothing.  it was easy to dismiss her as the doctor’s hired help  —  he had never come across as the type to take on apprentices in the handful of times they had crossed paths  —  though her statement has him considering otherwise.

                     ultimately, it does little to deter him.

                  ❝ when is he expected to return?  ❞  he questions, quiet and still as the night engulfing them.  ❝  i would wait for him. ❞

*crushes my emotions with my bare hands* as I was saying,

[deviilscry]

tbh  …  this is relevant just to my basic portrayal of him  …  but the fact that hanzo definitely does have family back in iga and some lingering attachment to it  (  that he’d probably never admit to  ), but  …  he resolved years ago to serve ieyasu, so he will?  bc as a ninja, he already made peace with the fact that his will is not his own and it never will be. 

for context, they’re discussing the impending war that oda nobunaga is going to start with iga.

[deviilscry]

in nightshade, ieyasu also mentioned hanzo being iga but said that he never speaks of it, especially after its destruction.  he prides himself on being this ideal ninja that is supposed to have eradicated his emotions in order to carry out his masters orders, so to admit that he may actually be sad when he thinks of iga and his family and his former master and friends, is out of the question.  even to ieyasu, who he is closest to  (  or, as close as he’d allow himself to get to his master  ).

RANDOM SAMURAI FACT OF THE DAY (10.8.17)

After being ordered to help Tokugawa Nobuyasu’s ritualistic suicide, Hattori Hanzo allegedly refused to lift up his sword and promptly teared up when asked. The samurai under Tokugawa Ieyasu, Nobuyasu’s father, claimed that he could not bring himself to shed the blood of his Lord’s children regardless of the cause.

This act of loyalty impressed Ieyasu so much that he remarked upon hearing it that, “even demons can shed tears”.
