Ryuu's suspicions were growing. "Why don't you ever lead us?" he asked, showing a very innocent face to acompany the innocent question. "I've never wanted to break traditions. I find it odd that you do. Sorry if I'm being rude, Haltashi-san." He shifted Kaoru easily so that she was hopefully more confortable and so his hand wasn't going up her kimono any more. He decided that it would be a problem if his "wife" threw a kunai at his head.

Kaoru glared at Ryuu. Pervert, she thought. Stop groping further and further up my kimono!

At the first sight of the couple turning around, Aelwyn unsheathed his katana. It made only the slightest bit of noise, he then began to run at the two, with the element of surprise in his favor. He knew that he could wait no longer to attack.

Ryuu had been waiting for this all along. Suddenly, he tossed Kaoru to the side and flung the kunai he had taken out when he had bent down for the flower at the man's head. "You're not a very good lier," Ryuu said, using the moment he gained from the kunai to draw his kodachi. With a swift movement, he slipped to the ground and aimed at the man's shin. He knew the man hadn't been expecting the couple to attack back. Ryuu just hoped Kaoru would help out; he wanted to see her fighting skills.

(note: liar, not lier)
Kaoru landed gracefully on her feet despite the fact that Ryuu had practacly thrown her. She drew her wakizashi reverse-held, and lunged at the man, plunging it down towards his collarbone. Once she hit him, she was going to twist the wakizashi, she decided. Then he would bleed out in a matter of minutes, if he didn't die from the blow.

What the couple didn't realize was that this was a trained ninja they were dealing with. Aelwyn easily dodged the Kunai by merely picking his leg up. He then snarled to them, " Its not gonna come this easy, you better try harder. " That was when he realized the women charging at him. The best he could do was roll his shoulder forward. He did this right as the weapon was a foot from his body. It sliced his back, but did not do any severe damage. Since she had forward motion, he side stepped, and kicked her in the back. This sent her tumbling a few yards down the path. He then ran out to attack the man.

((God modding. And the kunai was aimed at your head.))
Ryuu laughed, glad to be in a real fight. Abandoning the idea of projectiles, he placed only one more kunai in his mouth and drew his katana in his other hand. "Ready to dance, stranger?" He swung his kodachi in from of him, hoping to scare the man slightly farther back. He fell into an offensive stance, the kodachi sideways and parallel to the ground, and the katana pointing at him. With a swift movement, he shot the kunai out of his mouth so that it skidded along the edge of the katana. At the end of the blade, he hit it with the kodachi, sending aimed directly between the man's eyes. Then, he slashed near the man's middle with his katana, and allowed his kodachi to continue on its path. If it struck, it would slit the man's throat.

Kaoru rolled gracefully with the force of the man's kick. She stopped about five feet down the path. With a snarl, she picked up her wakizashi and threw it at the man, adding extra force to it by kicking the hilt as she let go. The wakizashi was headed straight for the man's exposed back. He's done for now, though Kaoru. There's no way he's going to dodge that.

Aelwyn saw all the weapons that were coming for him, and just gave up. He fell to his knees as four weapons plunged into his body. Aelwyn made one look up, and realized this was best for him. He looked at the man and said, "thank you". He then fell to the ground, and never got up.

Ryuu watched as the man died, wondering what he meant by "Thank you." He narrowed his eyes and set to work pulling his blades from the corpse.
"Nicely done," he said, not looking up at Kaoru. He always got a little odd after killing someone.

Kaoru stood, looking down at the corpse. "Who was he?" she wondered out loud, not looking at Ryuu. "Why did he attack us? What could he have possibly gained?" Kaoru dropped down to her knee and closed the man's eyelids.

Ryuu cleared his throat and looked down to make sure he wasn't blood spattered. "That doesn't matter anymore. We've got to get to Osaka. Come on." His face was still set in an oddly un-Ryuu expression.

Kaoru looked at Ryuu carefully. He looked different, the sparkle was gone from his eyes now, and he actually almost looked....solemn. "Ryuu..." Kaoru faltered. "Are you okay?"

Ryuu whirled around to face Kaoru, his hair flying madly behind him. "I'm fine!" Not waiting for her, he turned and began running towards Osaka again.
He hadn't liked that man's death for many reasons, but he wasn't about to tell her.

Kaoru's eyes narrowed. She didn't know Ryuu very well, but something was obviously wrong. She ran as fast as she could, faster than she had run against him before. She had been holding back then; she had thought that it would be better for him to think of her as an inferior. She quickly caught up to Ryuu. "Tell me," she demanded. "Whats wrong?"
