"The voice inside your head, counseling you? Talking to you, as if it understands?" she asks, sounding almost like she's experienced this before. "Telling you things that you will do, showing you things that you want to see?"

"No... I thought it was that at first... but... She is here. Her face grown cold, and her hair over her eyes, her hands grasping and pointing. How I wished that it were me... Then she might not be there, but she is. I know it because our connection lasts even beyond the grave."

She nods. A more intense haunting, then.
"And no shugenja is willing or able to do anything, I imagine. What with how they called it a blessing." She sighs. "Where is she, exactly? In front of you? Beside you?"

"Right now, She sits beside me" she nods "I can't always see her"

"Not always a bad place to be, but not always good, either. Especially for someone dead." She pauses, trying to think of something that might help. She fails, and finds all she can offer is to sit a little closer, beside the Kakita. "Unfortunately, I have little to offer other than company."

"I find I like you company" she admits "Do you have children of your own Hisui-sensei?"

"Twins, a boy and a girl. Both wonderful children," she answers, her voice laced with immense pride. "The boy is a Death Priest, and perhaps the most religious in my family. The girl takes after me, a Battle Maiden born and bred."

"That is lovely" she smiles happily at the thought "Fuyu-sensei said something earlier... She said that if she had a daughter, she hoped she would be like me. It made me feel like part of a family again..."

"She did, did she?" She smiles, but there's a drip of melancholy there. She remembers Fuyuko's desire to be a mother, but her inability to be one. "Well, if she begins to see you as a daughter, so will I. You wouldn't be the first girl I've taken in and called part of my family."

"Your terrible little daughter that thought about seducing you one day" she laughs "How could I be a daughter when I am so desperately in love with my mother?"
She leaves that there a moment or two, not knowing her history with the other girl she mentioned
"That is unfair. I am not so much in love with her, as I want to be her. I want to learn everything she can teach me and perfect it, to pass it on to the next.
"That I might be a part of your family, is almost too much to hope for"
A small admittion, from someone that suddenly looked very much a lonely little girl
