Three....two....one. Kaoru ran out the door just as the police rounded the corner. Ryuu smirked at the confrontation, grabbing at the kunai he still had left. He full out smiled now, awaiting Kaoru's reaction to the police.

Kaoru ran quickly, almost not noticing the two police rounding the corner at the same time as her. She ran between the two startled officers, who began to chase her. "Miss! Stop Miss!" they yelled. Kaoru ran even faster, clutching the box. She ran into a deserted alley. She threw the box on top of the building, then jumped on to the wall and began to scale it. She reached the roof and began to run from house to house, heading in the general direction of the hospital, where she was to meet her 'employer'. By the time the police reached the alley, she was long gone.

Ryuu smiled. It seems she can handle herself. Sighing, he got up from the wall and drew his katana. "Only one thing left to do," he said aloud. Jumping down, he turned to face the policemen. "Hello, chaps," he said to them. His blade shone through the night as their blood began to spill.
Walking away from the men, Ryuu turned to find Kaoru. "Now where has that little vixen run off to?"

(WTF? how do we do italics on this forum?)
Kaoru ran quickly, reaching the hospital in a matter of minutes. She quickly found her contact, a tall thin man wearing a mask. She handed over the box, and he handed over 5000 yen. (do we use yen in meiji?) Kaoru took her pay and ran to her customary living quarters, a small alley where she had fixed to make it liveable in. No one in there right minds would go into it, it was said to be haunted by ghosts, but Kaoru didn't place much stock in such tales.

(italics = [ i ] words [ / i ] remove spaces.)
Ryuu strolled down the street, enjoying the night air. It was only after he'd passed the hospital that he decided to go for a bite to eat. He walked down by his favorite resteraunt, and stopped when he saw the ally. Was that there before? he asked himself. Shrugging, he made his way down the dark passage, completely oblivious as to whose dwelling it was and to the stories that had been told of it.

Kaoru was sound asleep atop a pile of rags in her alley. She thought she might be dreaming, but she thought she heard a man's footsteps coming down her alley. She rolled over and returned to her sleep.

Ryuu smirked. Maybe I am supposed to be her guardian angel.... He reached down to touch the sleeping girl, knowing all too well she'd probably attack. But he had to tell her what he'd done to the police. He'd have to tell her about his code.

Kaoru felt someone touching her. She opened her eyes, blinked once, twice, and then her eyes focused on Ryuu. "What are you doing here?" she yelled. "Get away from me, pervert!" she crawled backwards on her hands and feet as fast as she could.

"I mean no harm!" he said again, raising his hands in front of him. "I just happened to be stopping by this lovely resteraunt, and I found an even lovelier girl!" His face became serious. "I killed two policemen today. Two lives taken. I swore I never would again. It was all for you."

Kaoru blinked. "Why did you kill them?" Kaoru asked, sounding shocked. "I got away from them with no problem!" Kaoru stood up. "You didn't need to kill for me! I can handle myself!"

"I know!" Ryuu replied, closing his eyes and smiling broadly. "But I did!" He grabbed her by the wrist. "C'mon! Let's go get some yummy, yummy food!" He tugged her along down the ally, thinking already of the food he was going to order.
((Okay, so he's sort of bipolar. Oh well.))

Kaoru follwed Ryuu. If they went to get food, it seemed less likely they would try anything. She looked at him curiously. One minuet he was telling her he had killed two policemen, the next saying that they should get some food! This man was strange indeed.

Ryuu smirked, leading Kaoru on. They stepped in the door to what appeared to be a rather high-class resteraunt. The host quickly seated them, seeming to recognize Ryuu. "So, what do you want?" he asked Kaoru as he sat down on a pillow across from her, pouring himself some tea.

Kaoru sat down. "Ummm...I don't know," Kaoru said looking uncomfortable at the grandeur of the restaurant. "Order for me," she said.

"Okay!" Ryuu said happily. He flagged down the waiter. "Two orders of gyouza ((dumplings, really just like egg rolls, but with dough on the outside) and bring a bottle of sake, yes?" He smiled at the man until he left. Straightening up, he turned to Kaoru.
"Now look, I know you've been pulling jobs around here," he whispered, leaning forward. "It's dangerous. You living in the streets?" His eyes sparkled.
