[Kotone]

Well it was that time again and since this was the easiest way to get things done. Well one hopes that is and in this case it does not seem like it. As a group of female gerudo seem to attacked a couple in the field. On is off her horse and the other two still on. They about a yard and couple feet from therm and closing in yelling in gerudo.The couple had a horse seem to been shot threw the chest and its down for the count. The couple themselves well not to far behind the horse with blood stain in the grass leaning to a man who looks to been stab few time and not moving. The man on is belly as the women screaming for her life as she coward over the man's body.

[Akira Shikigami]

There was an uproar occurring before Akira's hood covered eyes. Gerudo. He honestly had no idea what to think of the desert thieves, it was sort of a mutual feeling, he didn't like them nor hate them,for they merely stole from others so they themselves could survive.He dropped off his black steed and slowly ventured to the women with the reigns."Go", he muttered in a sympathetic voice. Handing the reigns to the woman.

True, he was supposed to be a heartless assassin, but he cared for the people of Hyrule, the only reason he took up an occupation of assassin was to ensure Hyrule wouldn't destroy itself.
The air picked up adding a certain tension in the air and he merely turned to leave the gerudo now facing his back. True it may not be the smartest thing to do, but just in case they might try anything, he quite literally had something up his sleeve.(I hope you don't mind if I join this)

[Kotone]

The lady seem to went quite as the man rode up and told her to leave. Her head turn a little but still he would not be able to see her face as she wiping her tears away it seems. She took the reigns as she stood up and looked like she was heading off. The gerudo on the other hand seem to got off their horse and draw out their bows and swords to the man. "Looks like we got a hero here" One of the gerudo females said as the other one chuckle. "Yes but he sure dress funny to be a hero" The other one said.

The so called hurt lady had nodded to the man in front of him. She turn to walk off on his side when she turn and grab a book from him as she dash off to the gerudo women. The ladys started to laugh as the clothing came off to show the lady who was in trouble was Kotone. She sneak up close to him using her skills and grab his Journal. She blinks as she looked at it as she sighed as she was hoping to grab a weapon then a book. However a item is an item. She she gave it a quick look she saw it held songs as she smirk at it. This is what she like she figure she will keep it.

She gave a signal as one of the gerudo shot his horse killing it so he can't chase after them. With that she place the book in her side pocket and signal the girls to get on their horses as they are heading out. It was nothing much of a steal as they was hoping for the royal knights or something so they can get new weapon or food and water for their tribe. However if a book is what they get is fine with Kotone.

[Akira Shikigami]

Akira sighed slightly at the sight of the woman stealing away his journal. He did not need to worry about the songs, but of the assassinations written down in the small book. Akira is a quiet person of many talents, one of which is speed. His speed was the level of high ranking officers. Perhaps even one of the fastest people throughout hyrule. He simply rushed swiftly over to the quiet woman and snatched the book out of her grip. He was careful not to look at her directly as he grabbed it, for he always felt awkward around beautiful women, especially ones wearing such 'revealing' clothing.

The book was important. Not only did it contain his life's story, but it contained enough evidence for him to be imprisoned for life...or worse. The songs only made up a small section. Eighty percent of the book contained the 'Other' part of his life. Akira was never one to be proud of being an assassin, in fact, he preferred not to talk about it. He killed people, it was no laughing matter, and he didn't desire for it to be known by anyone, let alone the Gerudo!

[Kotone]

Kotone was no normal Gerudo in the first place she was the King Gerudo's sister and his adviser after all. Well more like his bodyguard ever since they been kids. So as he came lose she grab his hand that grab his book back. She went to flip him over her shoulder to knock him out the ground. There was one thing Gerudo was mainly grew up in was fighting. However it was funny the guy did not fight he just went to take it back think it would be that easy.

Sure the guy was fast but he was just human after all. But still this guy was quite even with that get up after all. She pulled out her double blades as she lung forward to get the book back from him. No only it had songs she wanted it was a book. Really Kotone loves books and history and the more she can learn the more that help Merik out in her mind.

[Akira Shikigami]

She was good, he would give her that. He may be human, but there was a reason Akira was branded an assassin,when she reached to flip him he simply landed on his feet in a semi-crouch position and swung his custom,'Whip wire' in a vortex like shape. The wire was aimed toward her legs in attempt to give him enough time to play his next card. The calmness and gracefulness of the attack, gave obvious signs that he was well experienced in the art of fighting and trickery. He thought for a moment of how he was gonna fight this woman without getting a nosebleed, but was cut off by twin blades rushing towards him. Of course it had to be 'Twin Blades', the katana being a weapon of swift unsheathing blocked the attack by pushing the blades up with his katana, creating an arched position. He finally set the mini bomb hiding up his sleeve on the arch allowing it to roll down toward Kotone.

[Kotone]

This guy was good with his feet however he seem to be off some how. Either way it was something Kotone was using as with his mind being distracting she had gotten close to him only to get blocked by his black katana . She paused a moment as she looked at them as her eyes seem to shine. That was a nice weapon and she knew it. No she wanted them now and she was skilled at double weapons.

The Gerudo females seem to be standing back watching they knew better then get in the middle of this. To them it was like a training battle again back at the fortress. Kotone blinks as the mini bomb came at her as she went to roll away from it but moving forward still at him as she would come out of the roll to attack him. If she was luck the bomb would go off behind her giving her some push to knock him off his feet and on his back.

[Akira Shikigami]

The bomb managed to roll passed her when she dodged, but it wouldn't be to much of a loss, it provided enough time for him to sidestep and look for an opening in her attacks. But they somehow ended up in front of each other, their swords still locked together. He admired the skill the Gerudo woman possessed as they fought, he had never fought a Gerudo before, and he certainly wasn't disappointed. The bomb was dangerously close, and although it was merely a stun bomb it would still give you quite the headache. The silent assassin began to develop a strategy in his mind. It could work...

He dropped another bomb in front of him, in between the two fighters. It was perhaps one of the most daring moves he ever committed. However he found the woman was launching towards him at huge feats. He didn't even to have time to raise his swords of which took many years to master. The Katana were the prized possession of his long gone "Father", oh how he despised the man, the katana were a constant reminder of his terrible memories as a child. The woman however was still rushing towards him. He noticed the journal in his hand. It must be destroyed soon.Before the woman could reach him he dropped cut the song section out of the book with a knife at lightning speed, and dropped his personal history next to the bomb. He did not need anyone to know about him, there was nothing worth knowing about the depressing history he possessed. In a way he was editing out the parts of a book he didn't want anyone to see and presenting the songs to the gerudo. Of course this would happen shortly before getting knocked to the ground. Even a child could tell that there was something in the journal that he wanted to remain hidden from view. He would rather have it destroyed than get found out.

Once the woman was on top of him his gut tightened. It was awkward enough just staring at this woman, but for her to land on top of him! His cheeks turned a tinge of red...wait...his hood fell off...oh goddesses no, he couldn't hide behind the hood anymore. He closed his eyes and looked away, the other half of the journal still in his hand. He grabbed her wrist and set it in her hands."If you would have asked I would have given it to you....I only needed to add some minor 'editorials'", the bomb went off as if on cue."Now please just...go, I have more important things to worry about." She was on top of him, oh how he hated this position

[Kotone]

Kotone plan was working out just fine now a few strikes here and there and it be all done in her mind. Well it would of turn out like that however her eyes widen to another bomb dropping down close to them. Her hears were still ring from the last bomb. Not only that it could cause some damage this close to her. But she still went at him and almost had him as his swords were down.

As she went to swing her sword at him she saw he cut or rip the book. He was just standing there almost forgetting there was a bomb next to him as she goes and knocked him on the ground. She land on him as he started to talk to her. Finally this boy was talking but... he was human? Dan she did not know humans were this fast. Well she never meet a human this fast or rather this skilled before. It was a really shock to her and before she could think about the book the bomb went off destroying the history of the book. Her ears were ring again but she saw his lips moved and read them.

She goes and stab her daggers in to the ground next to his head and neck as she glare at him. Still on him she jester some thing. The gerudo women came close now as they laughed at this. "She says your an idiot why in the world would you destroy a book?" The gerudo female said translating for Kotone. Kotone then turn to the girl as she gave a few pat on the guy's cheek as she jester to the girls. They blinks and looked at each other then at the guy and nodded. "Yeah I see what you mean.. But I don't think we can keep him locked up" The girl said as she looked at the other girl and nods.

Kotone shook her head and jester once more as the two girl laughed and nodded. "Are you a Assassin?" The other girl asked as Kotone knew by how he was hiding his face.

[Akira Shikigami]

He calmly analyzed the dagger as it stabbed into the ground. It seemed to possess a certain majestic aura about it. *Its very well designed*. Now that he was pinned to the ground he began to think over the events that led up to the situation. He had an easy opportunity to dodge the woman rushing towards him, but he didn't simply because he had to ensure the book was destroyed. The woman appeared angry even though he presented the songs to her she still seemed angry.

He simply ignored the questions and chatter that was being tossed into the air. His ears perked at the simple question that was directed towards him. "I've been branded that...", he really didn't want to answer the question, and found that destroying the book was now meaningless. (sry in a hurry)

[Kotone]

Kotone and the girls nodded with that thought Kotone was upset with him not even answering her question. However it did not matter much anymore. Kotone already choose to take his man back as he was skilled and mostly fast. He be prefect to train with Merik. Even more so the person was human so Merik would not kill the guy which was better in her mind. As she place the song pages in her side pocket she pulled out some rope and bent over to tie his arms/hands as the gerudo women stood by just encase he did anything.

[Akira Shikigami]

Akira merely sighed and held out his arms, making it easier for the Gerudo to tie them. It wasn't like he was giving up. In fact it was quite the opposite, he could escape from the rope in a matter of seconds with the huge majority of knives hiding throughout his body. The only reason he decided not to struggle was that he was curious what they would want with a 'human' like him, it was rather interesting that they didn't just beat him within an inch of his life and take all of his belongings, after all that's what he pictured they would do.

He lightly chuckled as if he just heard a cheesy joke, for he replayed the battle in his head and found that he hesitated a number of times. He truly didn't like to hurt others to the point of leaving gashes all over their bodies, he wasn't like other assassins, who couldn't abandon the one thing assassins were supposed to throw to the wind, regard for other people's lives. True he hunted others down and killed them, but it was only because they deserved it.

He didn't hate the Gerudo, they most likely had good reasons for what they did.

[Kotone]

Kotone get off of him as she hands the end of the rope to one of the women to tie it to the horse as they got one. However Kotone did not she walk from behind and on on the guy's horse. They did kill a horse which was Kotone's horse really. They put the fake dead body back on the horse to use later on when they pull this again next month. They had to kill a horse so they can use the blood and so on to make it look real. However they did get a new horse thanks to the guy.

They would let the guy ride later on as they not mean they just want to tire him out so he won't be a fighter. That and they are not to cruel as people think they are. Gerudo only take people for a couple reason one for mating season and other is salves to help with many things at the fortress after all. Kotone doubt they would be able to keep this guy as a slave since he was a skill fighter but one can hope. Nothing else she want to let Merik see him if Merik came back from his trip yet. The two gerudo was chatting away as they rode but Kotone stay quite as normal only looking at the sheet of music and at the guy once in a bit.

[Akira Shikigami]

So it was all one big scam to find some unlucky person to steal from...very clever indeed. These Gerudo were more than he expected, he supposed they just killed someone and were just ambushing an unlucky couple, but they were actually faking the entire scene in order to rob an unlucky traveler...in this case being being him.

He suddenly found himself being tied to the horse...so they expected him to run...at least he was used to the prospect of running long distances as he did it every day during his training sessions."Look at the bright side Akira, I may be running for a while...but at least I'll get my daily exercise", he whispered to himself slightly joking. His ears caught a light sound of galloping horses.

As he was running he caught the woman glancing at him a few times and at the music repeatedly. *Maybe she...no she couldn't possibly actually ENJOY the music...could she?*

Akira's music was always very well crafted, professional some might say, but the 'Tone' of the music would always be EXTREMELY sad. The creativity was by far very beautiful, however the songs were possibly some of the most depressing songs to hit peoples eardrums, and he somehow came to memorize them over the years...he was still working on one, but he seldom had enough time to even look at it recently.

[Kotone]

Kotone was reading the music as she learn how to by different documents she stole and what not. Heck she learn a secret song that is really magical from documents she stolen. Of course by looking over the music she could tell there was something here however she did not think they was magic holding songs. Well if they were she doubt the guy would not burn them with the rest of the book to keep it s secret. However she was looking over a song over and over again until she thought she could play it with out looking at the sheet. She she slip the sheets in her pocket then pulled out an old beat up flute.

This was the only thing she had as Merik gave it to her when she was kid. She put it to her lips and started to play the new song as the Gerudo women slow down a bit as this was a new song for them to hear. Sure they heard Kotone play songs before but mostly the song seem to be more up beat then sad sounding. Kotone could feel great feeling from it but it was not something she ever knew before. She normally play things she heard like from lands. Like the desert would have its own sound and the Hyrule city will have it own sound then the field and forest. However this seem to be something else and the sheet came from the guy. She looked at him as she play as the more sad she became and the sound became more true and clear which made her more sad.
