Koza sighed as he walked along. He knew his sister had ran off, but there was nothing he could say or do to stop her. An assasin dropped in front of his path. "Good evening, Koza." "Who the hell are you?" He asked as he drew his sword. "My name is of no importance. You're going to die anyway, as will your sister. But not before one of you tells us where your clan hid the treasure." "Treasure? What are you...." Koza suddenly was shocked. "No. You fools can't be intent on releasing...." "What we do with it, you don't need to know. Now tell me where it is!" "Over my dead body." "That can be arranged." The assasin said as he rushed forward.
Tsuda heard Sulon laughing and scoffed. I can't believe someone like that is a captain.
Koza stepped out and took a walk in the forest. He felt that he was being watched. *Meanwhile...* "You three, go attack Maiko. I'll take Koza. One of them knows about the treasure, so don't kill until you get the information." The three men nodded and took off in persuit of Maiko.
Tsuda finally realised who the girl was. Ayama. I haven't seen my sister in years.....I wonder if she'll try to stop me.
ooc: Sure, I guess so. bic: Tsuda stopped in his tracks. That girl who passed me seems familiar somehow, but I can't quite put my finger on it....Oh well, it's of no consequence. He turned and took another look at her before walking on.
"Probably a member of the Hogyoku. They're the ones who had the bounties placed on our heads as a cover up for us taking out Uzuki. We know about them, and now they want us dead."
Koza continued to meditate for a while, then went back inside.
Koza walked outside and began to meditate.
Koza ignored her and continued to think. "There's supposed to be a performance troupe passing through here in the next day or so. If I remember right, mother helped the leader of this troupe and said that he would repay the favor one day. I think it's time to cash this favor in.
Koza sat deep in thought, wondering what to do now.
Tsuda wiped the blood from his face. That was an interesting fight, but I need to find the other exiles.
"The memories will come to you in time."
"Yes, we're all in the same boat now. All because of me...."
"Not anymore. There's one on your sister's head as well. After all, she had a part in killing Uzuki."
"Call it what you want. We'll meet again." Tsuda said before dissapearing from sight. ooc: When's your other character coming in?
"I don't imagine she is. I wouldn't be either if I was in her position. Don't worry about Kyo. She just needs a little time to think."
Tsuda flashed stepped away from him. "It's been fun, boy. Next time, I'll draw out my full power."
Koza sighed and looked down. "You realise thaere's a bounty on your head too now, Kyo."
"Come on Abisegeri, we're going." Tsuda came out of bankai and returned Abisegeri to its normal state. He sheathed it before moving on. He looked behind and saw Sulon standing behind him. "We'll play some other time, child. I have important business to attend to."
Koza pulled out a locket and opened it. Inside was a picture of their mother and father. He handed it to Maiko. ooc: later
