One of the wolves blocked Ryukens way. "Where do you think you are going." Tasuki said to Ryuken.

Ryuken vaulted over the wolf. "I'm going after them of course. Whether I can win or not, it's my duty to make sure they don't come after the priestess again." He ran into the treeline and was swallowed up by the darkness. And once out of sight he transformed back into his usual self.

Nuriko picked up a bow and arrow and drew it back, attempting to hit one of the assassins, but, because of her shoulder injury, was unable to. The string rested back in place as Nuriko dropped it. Nuriko herself dropped to one knee, still in front of Miaka and grasping her bleeding shoulder.

"Nuriko what's wrong with your arm."
Just then a shadow walked into the clearing and placed a hand on nuriko shoulder and nuriko's shoulder healed like that. "That better." The man said.
(OOC: I think we all know who he is.)

Ryuken met up with his two assassins quickly. "Well done. But we have work to do yet." He felt good with his own appearance again. He glanced back at the clearing and listened. "Another one has joined them. Don't fail me again. We're going back in there. Now." He wiped the blood off of his clothing and smiled. "Let's go." He vanished into the shadows and moved behind his two men as they advanced into the clearing.

Nuriko looked up over her shoulder, sweat still running down her face due to the poisoned dagger that struck her leg earlier. "Mitsukake?! What are you doing here?!" she asked. Looking at Tasuki, she said, "Oh, nothing's wrong with my arm, except the fact that I had a deep cut in it because I was protecting Miaka; your job that you weren't doing!" As soon as Nuriko finished her sentence, her heart throbbed, making her keel over and hit the ground. "Nuriko?!" Miaka asked worriedly. Nuriko closed one eye from the pain of the poison, which had already spread a lot through her veins.
(ooc: Someone get Mitsukake!!! ^^)

Ryuken approached the clearing with his assassins and smiled. Three, no four celestial warriors and the priestess. This would be a day of reckoning for Suzaku indeed. Simultaniously, both his assassins moved in, throwing knives straight at Miaka.

(ooc: Ok)
Ryuken saw that Nuriko was injured. He smiled. "Good work." He muttered in thanks to his dead subordinate. He wouldn't get a better chance than this. He shot out of the treeline with surprising speed and shot straight for Nuriko, both swords drawn.

Nuriko, who was still down on her knees, somehow saw Ryuken coming. Reaching for a boulder beside her, she managed to throw it at the group with one hand, using a lot of the arm braces' energy. The arm braces were around her arms again in place of the arm bands.

Ryuken jumped straight at the boulder. "Don't think you can stop us like that!" He slashed in a crossways motion and sliced the boulder apart, the fragments missing his team. One of the assassins attacked Tasuki the other attacked Hotohori again. Ryuken went after Nuriko and Mitsukake.

(OOC: Sorry I wasn't on. I had to much homework.)
Mitsukake walked up to nuriko, "Here try this." He handed her a bottle. "In it is holy water. It will drain all the poison out of your body.It will hurt."
Tasuki shot a flame at Ryuken trying to stop him from attacking. And then put up his tessen and blocked the attack. then the assassins sword got to be white hot.
Hototori blocked the attack with his sword. then jumped in the air and did a airial attack.

Nuriko looked at the holy water, sweating still running down her face. 'I have no choice...' she thought. Squeezing her eyes closed, Nuriko used the last of her strength to run into the darkness of the forest and downed the holy water. Her heart started throbbing again and the sweat came down ever harder. 'Shoot! I didn't think it would be this bad!' she thought. Trying desperately to keep her presence hidden and not scream, Nuriko grabbed her chest through her shirt.
{ooc: You still have homework? Aren't you on summer vacation yet?}

(ooc: nope, Tasuki and I both have one more day of finals left, so we're stuying our butts off)
Ryuken was dissapointed that Nuriko had left. It meant that he was left with only Mitsukake. "Change of plans! I'll take the emperor, you deal with the healer." He swiched with his assassin and attacked Hotohori in a series of lightning fast slashes and kicks. It quickly became apparent that Ryuken was a master of both swords and martial arts, as he began to drive Hotohori back. The assassin fighting Tasuki dropped his sword and then sent a flurry of blows at his head.

Nuriko was glad that the assassins had not chased after her into the forest and looked for her. She was in no condition to be taking on anyone. Opening one eye, she breathed with fast, heavy breaths. 'Good. They're not chasing me,' she thought, looking over her shoulder and around the tree she was behind. 'Suman, minna.'
{translation: "suman"="sorry" , "minna"="everyone"}

The assassin jumped through the wall of flame at Tasuki. "Dodging means you get burned so jumping into the source means fewer injuries!" He performed a swift kick straight up into Tasuki's jaw. Ryuken was a whirlwind, parrying Hotohori's blows and lashing out from every direction. He switched the grip on one of his katanas so that it pointed in the opposite direction. "Senpuu no Rusutai!" He ducked below one of Hotohori's swings, spinning across the ground, throwing up dust. He slashed three swift blows at Hotohori's legs followed by an upward stab under his guard at his chest.

Soon, Nuriko felt a little better. Enough to return to battle anyways. She felt around her feet and her face lit up as she found what she was looking for. Nuriko picked up a medium sized pebble, tossed it up, then caught it again in her fist. She positioned it in her her hand, ready to launch her attack. Aiming for an assassin, Nuriko luanched the pebble. It zoomed through the air, flying straight at the back of the assassin's neck. Thanks to her strength, the pebble was just as good as a bullet.

(ooc: Actually, if you dive to the source of the flame you're burned less severely than if you'd dodge. Perhaps I should show you volume 3 of Rurouni Kenshin sometime.)
The pebble hit him square in the neck breaking it. Ryuken's swords cut into Hotohori's legs, slowing the lord. He spun back up and jumped firing into a ramming attack from a tree, both swords held out, so that if Hotohori dodged the ramming attack, he be struck by the sword.
