Ash Ronin

Japan, late Edo period. Rain comes down in sheets onto a field of long grass on the edge of a forest. Five figures stand over a pile of smoldering ashes. As the camera gets closer, it's apparent that one of the people standing is a priest, holding an umbrella over Amiko, who is next to him.
priest: Ashitaka was more noble than any samurai I knew. You've lost a true hero. I'll be burning incense for him at the temple. *hands Amiko the umbrella and walks away*
Amiko's legs wobble and she kneels down, no longer able to hold back her tears.
Amiko: Ahi...taka...

Kumiko: There there, Amiko. *pats her shoulder* He was a good guy.

Amiko: "A good guy"? That man was like a father to me.

Kimboto kneels down to hug her.
Kimboto: We will avenge him.

Yumi: He was like a father to all of us, Amiko.

Kumiko: Well he did something more fun than fireworks that's for sure.

The priest turns back before he gets out of earshot
priest: You all should move on before it gets dark! Bandits and worse rove around here! *continues on towards his village*

Yumi: I suppose we should get moving.

Kimboto: He was the one that lead me to you all. And Yeah we should get moving.

Amiko: W-we can't just leave him...

Kumiko: Hm. What do you say Amiko? Head back?

Yumi: As painful as it is, we're going to have to leave.

Amiko: *gets up* Just go back to the inn....I'll meet you there...*runs off into the woods*

Yumi: Amiko, come back! *Looks at where Amiko ran off to and back to the others* Should we follow her?

Kumiko: Well, up to you then.

Kimboto: Better let me.*summons the winds and silently glides after her*

He finds no traces of Amiko in the woods

Kimboto: How in the heck does she do that?

Kumiko: *casually struts after Kimboto* Well come along, Yumi.

Later, back at the inn, and still no sign of Amiko
innkeeper: You are back! I was sorry to hear about your leader. And...it looks like you are missing another as well?

Kimboto lands and follows them.

Yumi: She had some stuff to deal with.

Kumiko: Yeah seems it. She's taking it roughly. We all grieve in our own ways.

innkeeper: Very well. I've prepared the master suite for your party. I'll tell her as much when she comes in. *gestures down the hall* Last door on the right.
The door to the master suite opens up into a large room with four futons already laid out, and opening out right onto a deck to the outside

Yumi: Wow, this room certainly looks quite nice.
