Ryuken had a surprised look on his face. "Tasuki-san!? You left the Priestess of Suzaku alone!? With assassin's everywhere!? Are you crazy? She's going to need protection!" He started running back to where Miaka was. "It's my duty as a guard to protect the priestess! You two can probably defeat the assassins at the palace without my help anyways!" He ran back to Miaka. Besides... this makes my job much easier.

Nuriko looked at Tasuki, then at Ryuken. Immediately, she ran after him and grabbed his wrist. "No. You'll come with me. Besides, the guards will be wondering where you are! Tasuki can take care of Miaka," Nuriko said, dead serious at first, then lofty a second later. With a tighter grip than she'd expected on Ryuken's wrist, she started towards the castle again, dragging Ryuken behind her.

Like shadows, the two assassins crept back into the forested area and headed for Miaka and Tasuki.

The assassins left logs behind them to make it looked as though they had been hit by Tasuki's attack. Then they silently moved around to not be detected.

Tasuki saw smoke. 'I didn't get them.' he thought. Then he summoned a pack of wolves.

The assassins smirked. "Well, this saves us the trouble of finding the emperor I suppose." One of them threw knives at Miaka while the other one kicked Hotohori in the face, stopping his attack. He got close to Hotohori so that he couldn't slash at him and began striking with expert martial arts moves.

The assassin backflipped onto a tree branch. Seeing Hotohori was injured from his attack he stayed in the trees just outside of the emperors reach and rained knives down on Hotohori. The other one merely kept dodging Tasuki's attacks, and throwing knives at him while he was vulnerable.

The assassin just jumped higher. "You can't deal with us that easily. We're the suboridinates of Seiryuu's greatest assassin! He relies on us more than anyone. We don't go down easily!" He glanced at his ally who was having a more difficult time with Tasuki. "Well, our mission is just about completed anyways." The other assassin got hit by Tasuki's punches and performed a low sweeping kick.

"May I ask who sent you then?" Then hototori got into defencive stance.

The assassin laughed. "The boss would tell you it's the priestess of Seiryuu. But we don't know who it is." He stayed out of Hotohori's reach and attacked with more knives. The other one used Tasuki's attack to blast him upwards. His arm was badly burned but he landed bhenind Tasuki and grabbed Miaka, thrusting his knife to her throat.

Blood dripped onto the ground as Nuriko winced. She had stepped in between Miaka and the assassin as quickly as possible. She and Ryuken had just arrived back. "Nuriko!" Miaka exclaimed, surprised to see her. As soon as she got hit, Nuriko kicked the knife away with a high kick. She reached up and grabbed her shoulder. Smirking, she looked over her shoulder at Tasuki. "What are you doing, Tasuki? I thought you said you'd protect Miaka," Nuriko asked teasingly with sweat running down from her forehead. Her clothes near her thigh was red with blood from the wound, and now her shoulder was bleeding, too.

The assassin that had been kicked noticed Ryuken. Realising he wanted to keep his cover, the assassin glanced off and around. "d**n... sorry boss... we've failed..." They started running off into the forest. Ryuken started after them, moving surprisingly quickly despite his apparent injuries.
