yes yes just like it says Ayame and Rikimaru. Do they like each other? That's what I want to know. What do you guys think?

Haha, as much as I want them to be together, I don't think the game really tells us about their feeling towards each other.

Rikimaru is weird anyway. Not the guy for Ayame.

er dunno about that..I thought they 're kinda more like brother & sister

i thought they'd be like siblings too, but then wouldn't Ayame and Tatsumaru be that way too? my theory is that Ayame doesn't want to like Rikimaru because he could die and she'd rather not lose another loved one. Rikimaru is focused on being a ninja, and probably never even considered Ayame as anything more than another Azuma. if it came down to it, i don't think Rikimaru would hesitate to kill her, though he'd probably rather it not come down to it.

at the end of Tenchu 3 Rikimaru offers a hand to Ayame to help her up, Ayame dosn't take it and stands up on her own. Says alot about their relationship

I don't think that Rikimaru could kill Ayame. They have been through alot together... and look what killing Tatsumaru did to Ayame! She lost the will to be a ninja... good job she was inspired to continue being an Azuma!

I think that they see each other as good friends... almost brother and sister, not in the sense of Clan siblings, but because they trust each other with each others lives!
