"There was something unspeakably eerie about it. The hairs on the back of my neck stood up in warning....I stopped. Kenji stood right behind me. A girl stepped towards us, saying, "Come and look, lord." I recognized her voice, but it was a couple of moments before I placed her. Then I jumped backwards, evading Kenji and leaving my second self by the cart. It was the girl from the inn at yamagata, the girl of whom Kenji had said, "She's one of us" (210 Hearn).
This passage in the story is an epic turning point for the story. It reveals the true character of Kenji, previously thought to be the trusted tutor-like character. Takeo, who was on, I thought to be major point of the story, is suddenly abducted and taken to a hidden location, a location of the tribe. He was told the tribe would take him, but I assumed that they would 'take him' after he assassinated Lord Iida.
I want to know what caused Kenji to betray takeo.
I also want to know why the tribe chose to take him at that moment.
