Kyo grunted. He slid to a stop across the clearing from the shadow. Blood sprayed from his wounded hip, but he knew the cut to be shallow. "That wasn't nice," he growled. He flew across the clearing towards the shadow faster than the eye could see. As a swordsman, Kyo had learned of the different types of speed, from Shinsoku to Shukuchi. Kyo was one of the few who had mastered Shukuchi, the speed that did not appear in sight. In under a second, Kyo had closed the fifty meter gap between himself and the shadow, and unleashed a swordswing so powerful that it was gauranteed to shatter steel, let alone weak human flesh. As his sword swung ever closer to the shadow, time seemed to slow. For the first time, he could actually see the person he was fighting. It was Lucy Wingacy, another member of Order 09. His swing was too far gone now, he couldn't stop it. He could only hope that she could dodge the blow, for the power behind the swing would shatter her sword in an instant and carry on to her flesh with more than enough power to rip her apart.

((First Aoshi and now Sojiro? Ah! Is nothing original?))
Tsukiko heard the conversation, the clash of swords, the ripping of flesh, the splatter of blood. He smelled the red liquid, the irony scent filling his nostrils. And then, he heard it. That distinctive sound he had heard but once before in his life. The Shukuchi.
Tsukiko flung to his feet and ran forward at the spot the assassin stood. Knowing the power of the blow, he merely ran into the man full on from the side, knowing his heavy body would knock him off balance and perhaps spare the woman. "I'm sorry to intrude," he said, shoving the man aside. "But I really don't wish to hear death on this peaceful night."

With a laugh, Lucy was already in the air, kicking off a wall to dodge a blow aimed at her midsection, when out of nowhere, a figure slammed into Kio, and the blade went upward instead of across and since she was in the air dodging a blow at her waist, the sword slashed a quick cut across her arm as she landed.
"Damn it!" she hollered, face crumpled into an angry frown and quickly raised the whip, about to take the head off of whoever interrupted the battle. She stopped however as she realized that it was once again the boy with the blindfold. Wingacy was breathing heavily and she growled with every breath.
"WHY... DID YOU... DO THAT?" she asked through clenched teeth, trying to calm herself down.

Tsukiko didn't turn to look at her. "I thought you might appreciate some assistance. You clearly don't seem to be able to fight by yourself." He didn't smile, but instead turned to face her. "I can smell your blood."

'And in a few seconds, I'm going to SEE your blood...' she thought grimly, lowering the whip.
Now, she truly wanted to kill Tsukiko, just to shut his mouth. She could see herself barely flicking the sword, his head falling to the ground, the blood... Then who couldn't fight? 'But what good would that do you?' she asked herself, looking past him. 'Ignore him.'
With a grunt, Lucy shook her arm and looked away, approaching Kyo instead.

Tsukiko smiled slightly. "Ignoring someone who's speaking to you? Now that's quite rude." He stepped directly in front of her, his hand still holding his sword. "You should speak back."

Kyo turned to face Tsukio. "Thanks for stopping me," he said. "Now get the hell out of here. No ones allowed to know of our existence, but I think we'll make an exception in your case."
(Btw, the sword dance was because i found my Scyther Pokemon card. It has the move "Sword Dance" and I was like OOOOOOOOO! And the Sojiro thing is just cuz Kyo is an angry version of Sojiro. Yay me.)

For the first time in years, Tsukiko actually laughed. "You think you can order me?" His hand moved to lift his sword slightly so that the tip pointed at Kyo's forehead. "You are a fool." He smiled. Almost as soon as the sword was up, he brought it back down. "I will tell no one. Besides, who would listen to the likes of me, good master?" He preformed an exagerated bow.

'This is ridiculous...' She thought, turning to the young man now bowing, and then back to Kyo.
"That's enough. A simple training excercise should not cause this much of a commotion or left this many witnesses. And... Kenta was your name? I think it would work out better for all of us if you were to simply pretend as if you did not witness this. Do... we have an understanding?" the Iron Angel asked, fumbling in her pocket for another cigar as she began out of the alley.
"I'll take my leave now. You did exceptionally well, Kyo. If you must escort Kenta out of here, please do so."

Tuskiko smiled. "It won't be that easy, Miss Lucille." He knew she would be surprised to hear her name. "I know more than you think." With a laugh and a smile, he sank back into the darkness.

Kyo's eyes followed Kenta through the darkness. "Sure," he murmered. "I'll escort him, Miss Wingacy." He followed Kenta through the dark, stalking a few feet behind him. "Don't try anything," he warned Kenta quietly. "Or it'll end badly for you."

Gritting her teeth and scowling at the mention of her name, Lucille quickly whirled around in time to see Tsukiko fade into the dark. Who was this kid? She sighed and followed Kyo a few steps before leaving the other way.
"Leave him after a while. Though I have a rather special order for you. If you see him again, especially near affairs regarding the Order, inform me immediately and as quick as possible. You have the auhorization to... silence anyone that gets in your way of this. Other than that..." she whispered. "Have fun."
She lit the cigar in her mouth, quietly chuckling as she walked out of the alley.

Tsukiko noticed the man following him. How could he not? His senses were practically screaming at the sudden silence, and so he heard everything, down to the shuffling of a mouse in a building he passed. Smiling, he decided to give the man some fun. He took off running down an alley. Once approaching a wall, the end of the alley, he ran straight at, and then up it, flipping over the top, and landing gracefully on his feet. He gripped the sword harder and continued running, ducking behind a wall, ready to attack the man if he needed to.

Kyo stepped up into Shikuchi in a heartbeat. He appeared right behind Tsukiko. "Not amusing," he growled. Kyo hit him on the head hard enough to knock him out.

Tsukiko smiled, thrusting his sword up in time to block the blow with the side and force Kyo to hit a thick peice of blunt metal. "Oh, I think it is." Tsukiko grinned. "There's no reason to attack. I'm merely going home. You don't need to follow me. I don't wish to fight you. I just wish to go home. If you'll excuse me." He started to step away.
