What convinced him to take her on as a yoriki was not only the fact she was a shugenja, which is certainly useful, or her criminal past, which provides a surprisingly useful skill- and mindset for a magistrate to exploit. It was mostly how she acted around her daughter. For the Kitsuki-trained magistrate it was clear as day she loved her more than life itself and that the source of the ronin's desperation was the realization that the road she was traveling would end in disaster for herself and more importantly, her child. It was a calculated risk, but the magistrate thought that if he offered her a way out, he would gain a valuable servant. | What convinced him to take her on as a yoriki was not only the fact she was a shugenja, which is certainly useful, or her criminal past, which provides a surprisingly useful skill- and mindset for a magistrate to exploit.

| − | Kaagi was right. Kaori lept at the chance. And not just because being in the retinue of a magistrate is the perfect hiding place.

Kaori lept at the chance. And not just because being in the retinue of a magistrate is the perfect hiding place. You see, she didn't study those scrolls from the forbidden section of the library because she was corrupt or craved the power of Maho. No, she just wanted, no needed to understand how Maho works. She di it purely to expand her understanding. When she was found out she couldn't leave her daughter with her father's family, her child would always be blamed for her 'sins'. She had to kill that sohei whose gear and identity she now uses, along with all the other crimes and murders she committed. How else could she escape her Clan's lands? She needed the koku, contacts and favors to get far, far away. It was just... necessary. She is not really a bad person, is she? |
She knows she isn't lost completely because it all weighs heavily on her conscience. That is why she is fiercely loyal to Kaagi. He offers her the chance to be something more than the rotten, bad, worthless person she has proven herself to be. Her greatest fear is what she will do when 'necessity' rears its ugly head again. Her greatest doubt is still whether her daughter is not better off with someone, anyone else but her. | She knows she isn't lost completely because it all weighs heavily on her conscience.
