Nade took a step forward, arms crossed as she looked up at her friend who had at least 10 inches on her.
"Listen very carefully Hinata. If you even ATTEMPT seppuku. I will call in every favour owed to my ancestors, I will go to Meido and I will personally drag you back to this realm while scolding you every step of the way do you understand? and then even when we get back I will continue scolding you over and over and over until you finally get the point and if you think I'm bluffing."
She holds up her family heirloom then, the crest of Otaku Kamoko.
"This summons Otaku Kamoko from Tengoku because she owes me family a favour and I will use it to go grab you.. got it?"

Hinata looked at Nadeshiko, then at the crest, her eyes wide.
"...where did you...what?"
Hinata stared greedily at it for a little while longer. A favor from a spirit in Tengoku? The sort of power that held...it could pull Yori out of her for good, no doubt. All she would need to do is ask, perhaps Nadeshiko would do it...
She then pinched the bridge of her nose and closed her eyes, looking away.
"...Nadeshiko, please. If I can't get him out of my head with an exorcism, there's no other solution. I wouldn't ask you to waste a precious family heirloom on me."

Kobushi blinks. This was rapidly becoming a little too confusing for him to process. So he keeps quiet, deciding to let the girls decide how they want to play this situation.

"Nadeshiko-chan," Yoshi says softly, approaching the stand-off between the two women, "of course none of use want to lose Hinata, but it's not right to impose our will on her. If she can't be rid of her curse, we can offer her our support, give her every reason to stay and endure... but should she decide that seppuku is the only way left for her to serve her lord honorably and end an unbearable pain... we should also be good enough friends to accept that." He places one hand on each of their shoulders, looking back and forth between them.

Nade turned to gaze at Yoshi, working up the darkest glare she can before pulling away to take several steps back and skulk around a nearby bench. She doesn't say a word as she simply stands there, back to the group with arms crossed over her chest.

Hinata sighed.
"...thank you, Yoshi-kun."
She looked up at Nadeshiko.
"Nadeshiko, if the exorcism fails, we can try summoning Otaku Kamoko if you feel that's really what you want to do. I'm not sure how I could repay it, but I'd try. If I become Empress, it'd be easy, but if not..."

Nade glanced back over her shoulder before turning fully, still scowling slightly with a look that rivaled Koshiros at times.
"I would not require repayment, your friendship is enough for me. I would not be able to lose you to... this Yori person. I could not handle it, not after we've become so close. So just... please let me offer this to you, without terms of repayment or anything. Just a gift to my best friends so that we can stick together."

Hinata nodded, and pulled Nadeshiko into a hug.
"Don't worry. I don't plan on going down without a fight."

Yoshi nods at Kobushi's words.
"I'm not a shugenja and not much of a fighter, but I am your friend," he affirms. "I'll help in any way I can." For now, that includes joining the girls' hug by wrapping his arms around both of them. He nods for Kobushi to come over as well.
