Okami blinked away her disorientation. Many questions flew through her head. She hadn't the smallest inkling of where she was or what she was doing here or even how she got here. She took a deep breath and tried to sit up, but her head felt as if it would explode and her stomach was on fire. She sat back and closed her eyes, fighting away the blurs around her.

"You're up." a woman's voice sighed. "I was getting concerned that we were losing you." Okami could feel the relief in her voice.

"Who are you? Where am I?" Okami asked casually. Her eyes attempted to focus, but wouldn't.

"I am Ina. Daughter of Tadakatsu Honda." Her voice established her elegance. "You are currently in Mikawa. My father found you after the battle. You got hit in the head by a support beam. He hurried you back here, because you were bleeding pretty bad."

"I see." Okami replied. None of it sounded familiar. She squinted, barely making out the woman's jet black hair.

"You are currently in recovery." Ina continued. "I will be watching you, until you're well enough to serve my Lord."

Okami stared. "Serve?"

"You are a soldier, correct?"

"Perhaps..." Okami replied. "However I do not recall."

Ina was quiet a minute. "I see. What is your name?"

Okami paused and squinted. "Okami..."

"That's a strange name." Ina paused. "What is your given name?"

Okami stared, trying to rack her brain unsuccessfully. "I don't recall."

Ina nodded. "Let me see your necklace."

"My what?"

Ina sighed and leaned over. Okami felt herself panic. She knew she was okay, but her body screamed in protest at close contact.

"This is the crest of the Tsuki clan. They were wiped from history a few years ago. How did you get this?"

Okami winced. "I..... I don't know."

"You can't remember a thing?" Ina imposed.

Okami sighed and almost felt like she was choking. "None other than my name and the basics." She closed her eyes, her head throbbed.

"I see. Well you do need your sleep. I will return later." Ina must have gotten up and moved. Okami barely noticed as she drifted back to sleep. Then she dreamed a strange dream.

"Are you sure we should even bother keeping this enemy officer alive, Tadakatsu?" A deep voice came from a stout man. He held a large lance and wore a long blue cloak. He scratched his beard roughly in thought.

"I believe this an excellent chance, sir. She has no memory and can commit her full loyalty to you, Lord Tokugawa." Ina replied quickly.

"I apologize, Ina, but I do believe I was talking to your father." The stout man said calmly.

Ina bowed her head, slightly embarrassed. "I am sorry, my lord."

A tall man in silver with horns patruding from his helm scrunched his face in thought. "I believe my daughter has a point. She most likely still has muscle memory, that we can rebuild."

Tokugawa nodded. "I see. Very well, give her to Hanzo. He'll know what to do."

Ina looked shocked. "Are you sure, My Lord? Hanzo can be quite brutal."

"I may not understand his ways, but I do not doubt them. Give her to Hanzo." Tokugawa ordered, then slowly walked off.

Ina looked at her father, he avoided her eyes. They both knew the trouble coming. As Tadakatsu walked away, leaving Ina alone, she knew she would be the one to tell Hanzo.
