Asahina Kikui

Asahina Kikui was a shugenja bloodspeaker of the Crane Clan.

Third Rising of Iuchiban
In 1165 Kikui knew that Iuchiban was again back at Rokugan, and called their servants to destroy the Empire. She was bethrothed, but her heart owned to Matsu Atasuke, and feared the Lion could die against Iuchiban's hordes. Kikui through the Oracle of Blood bargained the Atasuke's safety, and Iuchiban in return requested her to murder Toku, the Monkey Clan Champion, and all his family - wife, sons and daughters.

Death
Kikui came to Toku Torid-e and ambushed Toku's younger son, Koto in the stables, stabbing him in the belly. Naka Tokei, the Grand Master of the Elements, who was at Toku's house by happenstance, arrived. Kikui knew she could not surrender or escape. If her identity were revealed, Atasuke would be shattered. She reached for her own scroll pouch, and Tokei spoke a single word killing the intruder, not even leaving ash behind.
