Troublesome Noble

[Yuki D'Avranches]

It’s been two weeks since the fire and her room was still under construction with the repairs the floor and walls were finally done but the room still wasn’t live able yet. Yuki been staying within one of the guest room during the mean time while her own was being repaired. Honestly she didn’t mind so much since just happy that she had some clothes to wear during the time since some of them were out getting tailored to fit her new body.



Now today she was dresses in a light blue dress with, a matching cloak to go with it since the changing of seasons had started to affect her with the cold breeze. Along with that she was sneaking out of the castle today, to explore the city once again. She was going to invite Cole but she wasn’t able to find him, so she was going alone like normal.



Deciding today to leave though the garden well over the wall in the garden. She scaled the wall getting some scratches on her hands and legs. Finally making it to the top of the wall she jumped down landing on her ankle twisting it.



Biting her lips to muffle the pain, she place her hand on the wall to steady herself. Doing a quick look around seeing no one she, pushed off the wall, whimpering a little from the pain that shoot up her foot. “It is worth it.” She said as she walked away from the safety of the castle walls, pulling her cloak tighter around her body.



Walking down the familiar roads that lead towards the second district. She ducked down an alley, as she notice one of her guards looking for her. Not paying attention to where she was going, she bumped into someone, feeling something sharp in her back, she froze up.



A hand clamped down over her mouth preventing her from screaming, as the fear rose up in her. Feeling another sets on hands on her, looking for something she closed her eyes and prayed for anyone to come and save her now promising to never sneak out of the castle again.

Normally Diamond was working for Melda most of the day but his boss told him to have the day off. So he was going to see about getting something from the market. But would take a small nap in the gardens since it was a pleasant day out. As he walked into the gardens he watched a girl sneak over to the wall. And then try and climb up the thing and chuckled softly as the lady was not that skilled enough. Curious though Diamond started to follow her, normally he would mind his own buisness about it. But his inner mercenary told him that he might make a bit extra coin if following this person. If this was a Spy or something that could net him a few good favors. There were a few good things that came to mind and then winced as the girl had did something to her ankle. None the less followed a few minutes later. Diamond kept himself out of sight and blend in with the other people. Apon entering the second district it seemed that a vagabond was going to do a hold up or a kiddnaping. The white haired male sighed and drew one of his katana blades. Then ran as swift as the wind and raised his blade up and then swung down. His strike was a heavy one as he had swung with a lot of force.

A massive gyser of blood erupted with the slash across the assailent's back ".......You have paid the ultimate price for the crime you were commiting" he said knowing that strike would have killed him or at the very least he would be bleeding out. Unless the guy had a insane regeneration or could not register pain. If there was someone else there that was working with this guy. He might be scared off since his buddy got nearly cleaved apart from that attack.

Samantha was late getting to where she was supposed to help abduct some ditzy noble or something like that, she was walking around the corner just in time to see one of the idiots she was working with get nearly split in two. She just shook her head at how weak they had to be not to have been prepared for the chance that someone might try to help this little noble. She drew one of her swords for now, needing gauge the man's strength before she went full out to keep him out of the way.

"I swear it is getting really tiring to have to shoulder all the work on these jobs," this comment was her way of alerting Diamond to the fact that she was there. Just as she finished the sentence she sprinted at him using a two-handed grip as she swung the sword at him, aiming to slash across his abdomen. Fully prepared for him to counter this or at the very least block it, though adding the momentum of her charge to the swing would give her a better idea of his strength and speed. Her eyes were lit up with excitement as she did this and hoped the other man came to his senses and made off with the noble while she engaged the swordsman.

Hawkeye strolled down the street very casually, drawing stares from the general population as he passed. This wasn't an unexpected reaction for him at least. He had grown accustomed to the stares already, ignoring them completely at this point. His red leather and plate samurai armor did stand out quite a bit, as well as his very long weapon, a five foot single edged, curved sword with a one foot handle, which was resting on his shoulder, cradled in his arm. The uneasy, ominous vibe it gave off seemed to drive people away. Hawkeye gave a satisfied grin at that; he was perfectly happy with that. Most of the commoners in this town were stupid anyway, and the curiosity he had around his cursed sword, the better. Hell, he wouldn't even be in town if he didn't need supplies. He was almost out of arrows, and running low on food as well. He was heading to get food first; the arrows he could fletch himself, due to the unique nature of his Daikyu longbow. 

When he turned the corner however, he was greeted to the sight of spraying blood, it's smell filling the air. A strange looking man had just cut into what looked to be some sort of thug abducted a girl. Hawkeye's quick perception with his one good eye caught the make and design of the sword the man was using; a katana. He didn't have time to react to the  other assailant or reprimand the man for using a back attack, however. He noticed a woman turn the corner and draw a sword...before sprinting for Diamond. Hawkeye seethed with rage as he rushed forward, dropping his bow and unsheathing his blade by pulling the sheath off mid run, the naked steel flashing in the sunlight.

"Move, fool!"

The samurai rushed right past Diamond, almost shoving him out of the way as he adopted a fighting stance, meeting the woman before she could make a move on the wannbe vigilante. He swung his sword, Satsujinki, to meet the blade of his new, self declared opponent for the day. If he was successful, the weapons would deadlock, Hawkeye using a two handed grip on his blade with his knees bent slightly, his sandaled feet ready to shuffle or step at any moment. His single open eye stared at Samantha with an unnatural excitement, blood lust showing clear as day, and his crazy trademark grin spread across his face. His blade began to glow with a dark, unnatural light, and the samurai could hear it whispering to feed it blood in his head.

"Must be my lucky day! I get to kill a backstabbing, opportunitsic coward, AND feed my blade some blood! Try to make this fun for me, wench!"

[Yuki D'Avranches]

Yuki’s legs gave out under her as she felt the hands leave her body, falling to the ground as her clothes, hair and arm got splashed with the crimson red that she has come to know as blood. Closing her eyes, she did her best to calm her breathing, before opening her eyes once again and looking up at the face of the person who had just saved her. Seeing that it was one of the guards from the castle she knows him, but she doesn’t remember his name since she normally sees him with Melda.


As she about to get up she heard another voice, saying something about having to shoulder the work of the jobs. Fear spread through her as her mind started wondering what might have just happened to her and if it was going to happen still. Turning her head to look behind her, just in time to see a woman sprinting forward with her sword unsheathed. Legs that once felt like they were nailed to the ground moved on the single command a new voiced echoed. Scrambling to the wall pressing her body to it as she watches a man engaged in a fight with the unknown woman.


Breathing heavy as she watch the fight unraveled before her, praying that the new person who has join the fight is here to save her and not rob her or kidnap her. “Dear Zepon, have mercy on me.” She mumbled under her breath praying, to him that she let her live though without much harm coming to her or the people trying to protect her and swearing to never leave the castle without a guard ever again.

As Diamond dispatched the abductor and was going to check on the girl. But it seemed that the fool that he felled with his blade had a partner. His head slightly turned to the right and a single violet eye saw the woman. The eye gave almost wild look of that said your were going to be prey. It seemed that she want a piece of him and he would normally would be gladly accept the throw down. But Diamond did not know if there were more if this was the enforcer was there and they had a secondary team ready. Diamond switched from a double handed grip to a single grip and was reaching for a crystal. But then another voice spoke up and Diamond moved out of the way as man rushed in wanting to get into the fight. He quickly side stepped the charging male and looked again and to his surprise to both people that were fighting that they were using katana blades. "Feel free to do what you want with her. I will let you have your duel with her Sir" he said to the samurai and then went back to the girl as she was the priority right now. Sheathing his blade and looks over the girl as she muttered something on Zepon having mercy apon her.

"Oh for the love of Ai......." Diamond said and saw that the girl as one of the Nobles from the castle. From what he remembered her name was Yuki and sighed a bit "You better thank Fate, that I followed you. Lets heal that leg of yours" he said knowing that the Samurai would easily hold off the enforcer for awhile. Diamond's hand reaches into his pouch and pulls out a diamond crystal and started to give a slight warm glow to it. "We might have to run if this woman has reinforcements coming" he said was being on high alert letting his sense of hearing listen to the two people that were going to fight. As the white haired merc would listen out for the woman attacker.

Samantha was ready for the man she had targeted to cross blades with her but instead some crazed man met her instead, spouting some stupid line about her being a coward which did make her a little angry. Which just meant she wouldn't care that her current target was changed to this seemingly arrogant and honor bound man. Their swords let out a high pitched ring as the edges of the blades met and instead of deadlocking her blade with his, her blade slid along his. Finally freeing her sword from his just before it would have hit the guard and backed up a couple steps to look the man over a bit better.

Her eyes showed her own bloodlust along with her annoyance that was quickly boiling over into anger at her jobs all falling onto her shoulders alone. She picked up some of what was being said by the target and the man she had intended to attack in the first place and sighed. She never understood the need to worship one of those fickle little brats that called themselves gods. Never had she seen devotion rewarded nor had she ever seen a prayer save a person in the middle of a fight, to her it just seemed to be a huge waste of time. She changed her stance to a more relaxed one now though and let her left hand fall from the handle of her katana.

She debated drawing her second sword but it wasn't necessary at the moment, she didn't know if this man was going to push her enough to warrant it or not. He had skill and power but the extent of those were still unknown so for now one sword was all she would use. Over a thousand years of practice with her swords made her very good with them, though that had never stopped her from training more nor had it kept her from losing fights. Skill has to be paired with tactics and a advanced awareness of your surroundings to make you any good in a fight. She did have back up that could at least harass the man protecting the girl, two fingers raised to her mouth. A sharp whistle cut through the air and three more men appeared at the other end of the alley from her. They knew their job now and would follow her orders since she was known to cut down those who didn't do what she told them to.

With that done her full attention was centered on Hawkeye now, her sword pointed at him with her body angled away from him a little bit. Her eyes shone with her desire to fight him now drowning out all other emotions that might have shown up there. A equally crazed grin spreads across her face, "Coward? Opportunistic? I'll give you the second one, though it wasn't my fault that he didn't check for other opponents now was it?" Just as her last words fall from her tongue she flourishes her sword and moves in on Hawkeye. A series of attacks launched at him, nothing of any power yet since she was focused on speed and checking his reflexes. Battlefields were home for her, the exiled murderer, and she reveled in the rush that bloodshed gave her even if it was her own blood that was being shed. Her inner monster was just barely starting to awaken and she hoped this man could rouse it from it's slumber since it had been too long since it was last awakened.

[Sakai Nagamasa]

Hawkeye's single eye met the gaze of this female swordsman...and his opinion of her changed a little. He could tell those were not the eyes of a coward. The blood lust was somewhat similar to his own in nature, but she seemed different then him. His smile grew a little wider and wilder when he heard her speak. He also reacted quickly when she jumped back, taking a stride or two forward to match her pace. He was careful to keep her in the optimal mid range area of his weapon. The samurai did not want her too close yet too far, otherwise he was going to have an admittedly difficult time with the fight. He could also tell the wench knew how to fight rather well, though he was almost insulted by the more relaxed stance she was taking. His hands tightened their grip on the nodachi, bringing it to his side as his feet slowly shuffled on the stone pavement, the blade held almost horizontal to his body. He waited for a chance to strike...then he saw it.

When Samantha brought her fingers up to her mouth to whistle, he attacked swiftly and with vengeance. He performed two actions in the same motion. He swung with a two handed grip, and and split second before the swing, tilted his blade so that he would attempt to shine the sun in his opponent's face using the bright steel reflection. His hips turned and his feet shuffled as he swung during this brief window of opportunity, aiming for the torso...and on the side of her body where there was no drawn sword. He was aiming for the kill, to split the woman straight in half across the belly, which he had actually done to men before with this sword. Maybe then he could sate it with her blood for a while, curbing the thirst the demon inside had.

[Yuki D'Avranches]

Yuki looked up at the person who spoke to her flinching away from them at first, as she looked at them from her position on the ground, first starting with they clothes, then hair that seem to shine with the rays of the sun making them look unearthly and finally at they face. Seeing that it was, Diamond the name having come back to her. Only nodding having forgotten the pain in her leg, adjusting her body only slightly, extending her left leg for him to heal. Watching as he pulled a diamond crystal out of his bag, which somehow made his name very fitting. “Thank you.” She was thinking him for more than just saving her life just now and healing her leg but for simply following her today even though he isn’t her normal guard.


Turning her eyes from her first savior to the second man who had appeared shortly after. Studying him his clothes were strange then so was his weapon, it was something she has never truly seen before it took her much and little about this man. It was the armor he wore that made her believe that he might not rein from this world.


Moving to the person who seems to have been the one behind her possible kidnapping she studied the woman Nothing looked special about her to be honest to Yuki the woman just looked human but her eyes were shocking showing bloodlust. Making her back up against the wall in fear of those eyes turning at her.


Watching the battle unfold, even not knowing much about swordplay she could only guess that these people are skilled in fighting. Though the woman did seem to have more an aura of confidence about her, almost as if she felt that the person facing her wasn’t a worthy match. Hearing a whistle Yuki finally looked up to noticed three men appearing from the way she just came, making her feel trapped against the wall her body once again become frozen in fear.


Watching them move swiftly towards her and Diamond, she did the only thing that could do at this point. Water welled up in her eyes as slow stream of crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks in silence, fearing for Diamond more than herself since she felt that he might get hurt trying to protect her when she didn’t like she was worthy of his protection with all the rules she been breaking and the trouble she has been getting in lately.

As Diamond heals Yuki's ankle though he hears a wissling sound and breifly looks up and sees that three more morrons had come.  He sighed as it looked like, the young lady was healed up. But watches Yuki become very much afraid and was crying her eyes out in fear. As it seemed that she had not seen any kind of combat like this where people became monsters and demons. "Do not be afraid young lady, you will make it out of here alive" he said to Yuki and then turns to the thugs that were rushing in. "I am Diamond Corsica the Wolf, I would ask you to throw your arms down. But it seems that you wish to die in obscurity. Very well....may these crystal wind send you to OBLIVION" he said and drew his katana again while clasping the crystal in his hand tightly. As they charged in Diamond raised his sword above his head and whirling turbulance spun around the blade. Then swung twice hard sending a green colored x shapped projectile of wind. It then howled as it sped off forward. Ripping the ground apart as it went intending to slash the rushing thugs. The tight area of the ally way would make it hard for them to doge. One or two could get lucky and duck into another ally way but these blades of wind would still cut them to shreads.

The white haired male did not want to use this power too much but it seemed that he would have to. He wanted to put the fear into them and make them want to run. Diamond was not too worried about the Samurai that was attacking the leader from what it looked like the leader of this kiddnaping group. He did hope this would be last bunch of thugs coming in. This normally would be a good work out for him but his gaze flicked over to the scared and afraid Lady Yuki. He did have pitty since the girl seemed she wanted to get out and have some fun. But it seemed to change almost drasticly. Diamond knew that there was something going on for this to happen. Whoever did this though had to knew when she would be leaving the palace like this. None the less though Diamond would wait for that right moment and then run out of there with Yuki and not look back. He did not want to cut and run with the Samurai but he had higher priority with getting the girl to safety.

Samantha was cut short by the odd man's attack, he came in on her and was apparently trying to cleave her in half with this swing. She back tread two steps and took a two handed grip on her sword, bringing it across in an upward arc to meet the man's blade again. As the two instruments of death met the clash reverberated through her arms and even forced her to take half step to the side to widen her stance a bit.

Nothing of what showed on her face was anything near shock or fear, nor was there even anger showing just a very bright light of amusement springing into her eyes. Instead of trying to stop it fully she spun backwards out of the last part of it's reach, her arms aching a bit from that encounter. She drew the second sword during the spin and it showed how much she was giving him her full attention now. Her eyes met with his and it just showed her desire to fight him even more, she was letting the pain settle in and embracing it now though. This man might let her actually fight for real for once in a very long time. She left the others that were there with her to deal with the other man even if it meant they were all killed, none of them would be any great loss.

The swords were flourished before she took a firm grip of the handles, both blades were reversed right now and she moved in on him. She looked even more relaxed than she had before now, it wasn't an insult to the man it was just that she was far more at home in the middle of a life or death battle. She hadn't built up enough pain or anger yet to awaken her inner monster as she liked to call it so she was going purely on her skill for the time being. The sword in her left hand was flipped around thrust at Hawkeye like one would while fencing, the other being kept back for defense purposes for now.
