Otonashi slammed her way through the door, not bothering to take off her sandles as she went. She stomped her way to the kitchen, threw off her mask, grabbed a chunk of tofu she had bought for that night's dinner, and began to eat it plain. She really didn't want any sort of taste in her mouth at the moment, and tofu obeyed perfectly.
Stupid Otaka. Stupid Katsu. Stupid me! Grabbing a handful of the stuff, Otonashi flung it at the wall, where it stuck with a nice splatting noise. She didn't care as it slid down the wall. She'd make Katsu clean it up later; he always showed up when he was hungry enough. And if he didn't show up, then it would just rot.
Sliding to the ground, Otonashi set the bowl of tofu aside and put her head in her hands.

"What a useless night." Palazzo spat. He sat on the rooftop of a building, hoping for someone to notice and try to get him to come down. He would, of course, start trouble. But no one did. And he was angry; do people not care who sits on their house? So stupid!
He rolled his eyes, stopping to see a man walking down the path. He considered jumping down and instigating, but he soon saw that he was unarmed. Palazzo groaned in disgust and jumped from the rooftop, landing squarely in front of the man. He shouted and quickly got out of the way, but Palazzo smacked him to the ground, and walked away. "What can I do? Who's going to be fun? And where would they be?" he chuckled. Suddenly, a vauge idea popped into his warped mind. There was some commotion at a bar before, wasn't there? An assassination? Or an attempt at such? Palazzo had heard rumors about a palefaced assassin, or rather two of them.
"Hehe! That could be interesting! Let's see if they're strong!" Palazzo squaked, cackling madly into the night.

[Okay, I'll finish it then.]
Palazzo's shadow shook and shone, as he marched with a grin down the path. He looked up with his painted face, spiked red designs surrounding his eyes, and could make out the shape of a building ahead. He giggled with anticipation and ran questions through his mind. Would they be there? Would they be strong? How badly would he get hurt, if even at all? Oh, the thoughts excited him, and he soon found himself running toward the door.
Palazzo stopped at the door. Rather than knocking, he laughed, and kicked the door, making as much noise as possible. "Hello! Hello hello hello, OPEN UP! Hahaha!"

Otonashi sprang to her feet, forgetting about Katsu, Otaka, and the tofu on the wall. She put her mask on and crept into the closest shadow, blending in perfectly except for her white hair. She navigated silently towards the door, trying to find who the intruder was. She saw an oddly dressed man, and quickly drew some of her needles. Throwing her voice so it appeared to be somewhere above him, she asked, "What are you doing in my house?"

Palazzo grinned, and his eyes rolled up to look, his head not moving with them. 'There's no one. Tricky little bug.' he thought happily and lowered his eyes. Palazzo stood straight, staring into every shadow. "What am I doing? That's a good question! I'm not sure of the answer! But I'm bored. Why don't we play a game, oh executioner!" he laughed, his grin not fading an instant. He took a single step into the door, slamming down with his boot loudly. "Hurry! Hehee! Come, now, don't tell me you're afraid!"

Otonashi swore to herself and tossed some of her needles so they rikashayed off of a wall and made it look like they were coming from a different direction. They were aimed for his feet. At the same time, she fired some from her position and from her opposite side aimed at his head and at his chest, making it impossible to figure out her position. Last, she flung a kunai at the ceiling, watching as the bunt end bounced off and the knife shot straight at the top of the man's head.
"Leave. Now." The voice came from the man's right.

The following happened in a fraction of a second, and Palazzo could hardly believe he did it. His boot slid about a foot, and he dropped, the kunai nicking the top of his scalp. Palazzo had also attempted to swat the needles, which stuck firmly into his left arm, small droplets of blood hitting the floor. There were a few needles elsewhere. But he barely flinched, instead, rising to his feet and staring at his arm, mouth wide open in a sort of smile. He hadn't been this close to dying in years! The adreniline he got from it! "Brilliant! Amazing, grade A moves! I'd have been killed easily had I moved a fraction of a second later! I knew I didn't make a mistake in coming here. Of course I can't leave now! Though..." he paused, smirking. "It seems that you aren't playing around. Hm." He plucked a needle out of his shin, and bit down on it, keeping it in his mouth. He didn't bother with the needles in his arm quite yet, and nearly ripped his sword from it's place behind his waist, pointing it at noting in particular. "I'm ready!"

This guy was sick. Otonashi wasn't in the mood to play around any more. Grabbing one of her fans, she threw it at him, the thing extending just inches from his flesh. Following this was another storm of needles with a kunai or two mixed in. And during all of this, a girl suddenly jumped forward, her wakizashi held in both hands and aimed towards the man's chest.

Palazzo was expecting more or less. He held the sword stiffy across his chest and swung in a circular pattern, blocking many of the projectiles fired at him before stepping back and lowering his stance. Of course, many more were waiting to slam into him, which they did. Palazzo was soon stuck with needles all over. He had curled up so that nothing major would be punctured, but he was evidently hurt, even if he didn't show it. He darted forward, meeting her sword attack with a heavy horizontal parry of his own. He spit the needle to the side, grinning.

Otonashi gritted her teeth. "Nice to meet you," she said, flinging her sword in an irregular arc that sent her closer to the ground. She reached down in the same movement and grabbed her other fan, not extending it so it still looked like a dagger. "You probably know who I am," she said, swinging the fan below his knee. "But I'm afraid I'm not familiar with you." She brought her leg up to hook behind his leg and bring him to the ground. "Please tell," she finished, swiping her wakizashi at his neck.

"So..This is what you do when you're upset, Otonashi?" The voice was coming from the window behind her. Katsu hopped down, and re- strapped the crossbow to his back after unloading the explosive dart from it. " Beating up on pathetic want-to-be assassins?"

Palazzo growled and dove forward, attempting to dive to her left and dodge the attack, and possibly get the next attack in. The blade attack meant for his neck slashed the side of his face, and the fan attack managed to swipe his shin. However, he hadn't noticed Otonashi's leg until he had been sent flying awkwardly to the ground, forehead cracking against the floor. "Gwah! Dammit!" he spat, rocking back and pushing himself to flip to his feet. Palazzo was no longer grinning in joy. Instead, there was a cut on his forehead, drizzling down his face. There was pain in his cry, along with a hint of anger in his grin, which was more of a grimace now. The man who has just shown up was of no importance to him. Palazzo looked at his left arm. How foolish of him! He had neglected to remove the needles in his haste to fight, and the fall had pushed them in further. He ripped them out one by one, and viciously whipped them at the floor, pulling out both the ones in his arm and peppering his body. He was losing quite a bit of blood...
Palazzo decided to quit with the toying. The real fighting started here! He reached into his coat and pulled out three of his tanto knives, tearing the shieths off with his teeth and placing them between his fingers, effective as a rather long claw. "Grwaaahahahaa!" he hollered, running in a zig zagged direction toward Otonashi, sword in the right hand, and "claw" on the left. He jumped and smacked the sword sideways, with enough force to cut into a wall and thrust forward with the claw.

She noted Katsu's entrance, but knew she had to finish this before she spoke to him. She looked at the man she was facing.
Otonashi almost felt bad for the man-turned-pin-cushion. Almost.
She didn't like the look of the claws he now wore. To avoid the sword, she fell to the ground in a position akin to the splits. She fell to the side to avoid the claw, and only suffered minor damage to her shoulder. Grabbing more needles, she sent herself around in a circle, trying to swipe the man's legs out from under him. She shoved her needles into his shin in a diagonal direction, pressing them in so barely any of the needle could be seen. She winced as she thought of just how painful that would be.
To finish the man's rage, Otonashi used her wakizashi to try and impale his side. She flipped it in her hand and tried to drive it into his side, enough to keep him from moving for quite a while. "You never answered my question," she whispered, not looking at the man's face.

Palazzo stumbled and turned around, only to be faced with a truly unholy pain, unbelievable, stemming from his leg. "Uwaaaarrrgggaaaaah!" he screamed, his face twsiting in a truly disgusting way as he breathed heavily through his teeth. "HUURR.... HURRRR... HAAAAHHH..." was all he could manage at the moment. The pain alone caused him to drop two of the tanto, one which stuck blade down out of the floor. He stumbled forward and snapped it in two, stepping on it. The last however, he pressed against his side firmly, blocking the thrust of the wakizashi with little tension to spare. The blade cracked. Palazzo turned. He managed a pained, yet authentic smile. "I didn't think one like you would care." he responded to the earlier question. "I am Palazzo. And I came to see if the rumors of your expertise are true." He chuckled. "You obviously know the outcome of this." he said, through gritted teeth.

Otonashi bit her lip as the screamed with unearthly pain. She had only done what was necessary to win. "I'm quite aware that I've defeated you, at least for the moment." Otonashi stood, her wakizashi at the ready. "I am just disappointed you proved such a simple opponent. Go live, go train, and then come attack me again." She shook her head, her white hair cascading down her shoulders. "I'll be here."
