SPOILER: Click to show

Name: Pampered Lisa
Rank: C
IIC Length: 2 days
Difficulty: Easy
Description: A wealthy merchant has requested escort for his teenage daughter in her visit to Mashimizu, the capital of the Water Country. Her visit would last for two days. The man doesn't exactly have many enemies, he's simply concerned with the safety of little Lisa; thugs are all over the place and she's hardly unattractive. The young lady is most likely to visit many clothing stores, markets and perhaps a game arcade. She's also quite curious.
Objective: Escort Lisa and guard her life and belongings effectively.
Reward: 1,500 Ryo.

Yuusuke sat down in the center of the capital city, on a large fountain, this is where he was instructed to meet the Mechants daughter, and where he hoped his partner would meet him. Yuusuke begged that his partner would arrive first or it would make them look rediculous.

Yuusuke watched as the city began to wake up, shops started opening and people started walking the streets, there was no mist in Mizu's capital today, no clouds, it was an incredibly sunny day today. Yuusuke wasn't used to it, nor did he like it.

Yuusuke checked all his weapons, checking that his swords were not caught on anything and that his bow string wasn't going to snap. Yuusuke grinned as he discovered they were all fine. He wished Ryuu would hurry the hell up.

{Enter}

Ryuu hurried to the fountain, disturbed by the sun that had penetrated the Land of Water today. He saw Yuusuke, and walked over to him. He watched as Yuusuke checked his weapons. Ryuu would’ve done that, but he didn’t need to. He knew his weapons were fine.

“Are you the Nin sent to guard my daughter?” a voice said. Ryuu turned and saw a man wearing expensive clothes. A girl, presumably Lisa, stood beside him, watching the Nin with a weird look in her eye.

“That’s right,” Ryuu answered the man “My name is Ryuu Kaguya, and this is my partner Ryouken Yuusuke.”

“Excellent,” the man said, eyeing both Ryuu and Yuusuke up, as if judging them worthy to protect his daughter.

‘That’s not what he’s doing,’ Oni suddenly said ‘Did you see the way his daughter looked at us?’

‘What are you on about Oni?’ Ryuu asked.

‘The girl has an eye for men, Ryuu. The merchant is making sure that we don’t try anything.’

That made sense. The merchant headed away, leaving the girl with the nin.

“Overprotective old man,” Lisa mumbled under her breath.

“He’s just making sure that you don’t get into trouble,” Ryuu told her.

“But ninja? Why do I need ninja to guard me? He’s not that important,” Lisa complained, throwing her arms in the air dramatically.

Ryuu let Yuusuke answer that question. If truth be told, Ryuu thought it a little excessive as well. But, orders were orders, and he was ordered to guard this girl.

“Well, let’s go then,” Lisa said as she wandered off, not bothering to wait for the two nin. Ryuu hurried after her, falling into step beside her. Ryuu followed her around as she went through the shops, looking at whatever the hell she was looking at. Ryuu made sure that no one paid too much attention to the girl or her bodyguards.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke watched Ryuu, appear, then moments later. Yuusuke watched as Ryuu handled the business man almost perfectly, Yuusuke heard his name mentioned, then saw the business man look at him and examine in. Yuusuke leant back slightly and waved his hand half-heartedly.

The girl started getting arsey as soon as her father left wondering why she needed ninja bodyguards. "You need Ninja, because we are the best of the best. We are untouchable by common thugs girl, you are lucky." Yuusuke laughed at the girl as she walked off towards the shops. Yuusuke followed lazily, there was very little chance of anything happening.

The merchant Yuusuke had seen seemed to be dressing himself up to be more than he was, and his daughter seemed to feel the same. Yuusuke chuckled to himself standing outside the shop as Ryuu and Lisa went looking around inside. He took out his packet of cigarettes "It's been a while old friends, but I think for this one I am going to need you." Yuusuke mused to himself. He took one out and lit it taking a long drag.

He gazed up and down the street watching for anything suspicious, while the "girls" were in the shops. He chuckled again to himself slightly, after his comment to himself. If Ryuu had heard him thinking that he would be pissed off. Yuusuke took another drag of his cigarette and waited.

[/blockquote]

[crimsonkaguya]

OOC--*slaps Yuusuke in the head* you were right. If I had heard your thoughts, I would’ve been pissed off.

The girl wasn’t one for waiting, so Ryuu had to pay a lot of attention to where she was going. The crowds were starting to thicken up. This mission was starting to be more hassle than it was worth.

‘On the plus side; the girl is pretty.’

‘Shut up Oni.’

Ryuu followed the girl into a café where she ordered herself a coffee and some weird bread thing. She sat at a table and began to eat. Ryuu sat opposite her, watching everyone in the café.

“You take your job way too seriously,” she said as she took a sip of her coffee.

“If I didn’t, I’d probably be dead and you’d be stuck alone with Yuusuke,” Ryuu replied. Lisa giggled at his statement.

“So, what’s it like being a ninja?” she asked.

Ryuu shrugged “Depends on the day. Sometimes it’s a good job and you can’t imagine doing anything else. Sometimes you curse the day you chose it and wish you could do something else.”

“Must be lonely,” Lisa said. Ryuu nodded unconsciously, and Lisa smiled kindly at him.

Suddenly, three guys showed up. The leader came over and started trying to chat up Lisa. Ryuu let him try; he had a feeling that she was going to tell them to get lost anyway.

“Sorry, but as you can see, I’m with someone.”

“Why don’tcha just ditch him?” the guy said, pushing his luck. Ryuu stood up and pulled the guy to face him.

“She’s not interested, so don’t waste your time,” Ryuu said, hoping Yuusuke was there behind him.

“And what are you going to do about it?” the guy clicked and his two friends walked on either side of Ryuu.

“You don’t want to do this,” Ryuu warned the guy. The guy laughed and clicked again. His friends moved to attack him, but Ryuu had a trick up his sleeve. He extended three 18 inch claws on either hand and pointed them at the necks of his aggressors. They stopped cold.

“Leave, before I decide to lose my temper,” Ryuu said. The guy’s didn’t need telling twice; they scarpered. Ryuu retracted his claws and looked at the leader. The leader glared at him, then ran off. Ryuu sat back down, and saw the look on Lisa’s face. It wasn’t fear, like most times he used his bloodlimit in public. It was curiosity.

“How did you do that?” she asked, blinking.

“I have a rare bloodline trait, a special ability inherited from my family,” Ryuu explained “I can use my bones as weapons.”

“Wow, but don’t you need them?” was the question that came out of her mouth.

“We can grow extra bones if we need to,” Ryuu said with a smile. When Lisa finished her coffee, they went to leave.

“Hey, where’s my bag?” Lisa suddenly asked.

“Your bag’s missing?” Ryuu asked.

“That guy must’ve taken it!”

“I’ll find him and get it back,” Ryuu promised “stay with Yuusuke.” Ryuu ran off, tracking the guy through the crowds.

It didn’t take him long to find him.

“Stupid ninja think they’re so high and mighty,” he was saying as he ran. Ryuu quickly overtook him and grabbed him, slamming him into a wall.

“The bag, now,” Ryuu said. The guy didn’t laugh or sneer; he kneed Ryuu in the ribs. It knocked the wind out of him. The guy pushed Ryuu out of the way and started running. It would take more than a knee to the ribs to take him down.

“Hessendan,” Ryuu said, aiming his fingers at the guy’s legs. Bones flew from his fingertips and collided with the man’s legs. He fell screaming. Ryuu walked over calmly and grabbed the bag from him, not breathing in the smell of blood. He walked off, going after Yuusuke and Lisa.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke stood always not to far from Ryuu and the girl, Yuusuke laughed aloud as he heard Ryuu chatting the girl up. "It's not that lonely though is it Ryuu, you have me." Yuusuke said sarcastically laughing his head off. He clapped his hands on his legs leaning over, to stop himself laughing.

Yuusuke managed to stop himself laughing, just as the thugs came in and tried to attack Ryuu. He wasn't paying a lot of attention to the conversation, but he saw his partner sprint out of the cafe, telling the girl to stay with Yuusuke. He sat down slowly and peered at the girl "So why are you so queit?" The girl asked. Yuusuke shrugged "I don't know, I am just not in the mood today."The girl nodded slowly at him. Yuusuke spun his head around, there was no sign of Ryuu.

"So, do you have any special blood powers?" The girl was a curious one that's for sure. Yuusuke chuckled slightly, He knew his membrane was in it's most permeable state, so he guessed he could show her. He placed his hand on the table half way across, then held out a kunai for the girl. "Stab me in the hand." Yuusuke said grinning
"No way!" The girl seemed to be a bit squeamish. Yuusuke laughed, then rammed the Kunai toward his hand. Lisa cringed as she heard the tip hit the table. Yuusuke peered at her smiling.

"What on earth?" She asked peering at the kunai that was through Yuusuke's hand but had done him no damage. Yuusuke pulled his hand upwards, his membrane formed around the kunai before at the top the wound closed up. Yuusuke put the kunai away. "I am made of water." Yuusuke explained very simply. The girl was shocked.

"Why di-"
"Stop right there, you are going to start get too personal soon, you know my name and my bloodline. All I am here to do is to protect you, you don't need my life story." Yuusuke said.

After a few moments one of the men who Ryuu had scared out the bar came back it. "Hey toots I see you moved on to a new guy, how about you move onto me?" He asked cockily. Yuusuke was getting sick of all this drama, and before the man would even have time to think about it Yuusuke took the kunai in his right hand and threw it at the mans head. The kunai struck him in the eye, piercing it, and then his brain killing him instantly. Yuusuke sighed and stood up and took his kunai back. "I'll be needing that" He said yanking it out the mans face, then sat back down in front of a horrified Lisa, and waited for Ryuu.

[/blockquote]

[crimsonkaguya]

The Kaguya arrived back to a crowd of horrified onlookers. At first he wondered what was going on, and then he saw Yuusuke walk over and pull a kunai out of someone’s eye. He sat back down, and looked bored. Lisa looked frightened out of her brain.

“What the HELL, Yuusuke?” Ryuu demanded. Lisa heard him and got out of her chair and ran behind Ryuu. He handed her bag back and focused on Yuusuke.

“Did you stop to think that MAYBE you could’ve just scared him off? Why did you kill him? No, wait, don’t even bother. Let’s go.”

Ryuu turned and led Lisa through the throngs of people, trying to escape. He would have to alert someone to dispose of the body. He managed to get away from the café, allowing her to breathe a little.

“He killed him,” she said breathlessly, still stunned.

“He must’ve felt that he was more of a threat,” Ryuu said “but it wasn’t a very thought out decision.”

“Has he killed before?” Lisa asked. Still curious, it seemed.

“I don’t know,” Ryuu said “we’ve only just been partnered.”

“Have you ever killed anyone?” she asked.

“Believe me Lisa, you don’t really want to know the answer to that,” Ryuu said. “Let’s just forget about this whole thing and continue with the day.” Lisa nodded and checked that her bag was still on her arm. She began to walk, and Ryuu followed her. This day was starting to wear on the Kaguya, but he wasn’t going to let it show. He still had work to do.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke laughed, grinning happily. He jogged up behind the two and threw an arm around Ryuu. "Yes I have killed before, and so has he. It's our job. Sometimes you have to kill people to prove a point. I guarantee no-one will attack you again now. They'll be scared!" Yuusuke said jokingly, as if totally unaffected by the kill. He took his arm from around Ryuu and walked with them normally.

"Ryuu, I am sensing you aren't enjoying being my teammate?" Yuusuke asked after a few moments, remembering how mad he had been back at the cafe. "Is it because I am devilishly handsome and you are a wee bit jealous." Yuusuke said, some of his Tsuinken masters arrogance showing through.

Yuusuke couldn't understand why Ryuu was so mad, it was only one kill, plus what's the harm, they both were going to recieve 1,500 Ryo for escorting the little bint around Mashimizu. Yuusuke adjusted his collar on his coat slightly as they walked, it was getting hot in this B**tard coat in this weather. Yuusuke took one of his water bottles from the holster, anyone from Yuusuke's bloodlimit had to carry these around with them. Yuusuke took a big swig of it then put it back. The heat was dehydrating him, and for someone made completely of water, this was a very bad thing.

[/blockquote]

[crimsonkaguya]

His teammate’s attitude was starting to wear on the Kaguya. First it was the arm, and now the cockiness that was showing through. Ryuu hadn’t spent that much time around other people, but what he did know was that Yuusuke’s behaviour was what could be classed as ‘annoying.’

“I don’t get jealous, Yuusuke, and it’s very rare that I get mad. Keep trying your luck, and we’ll see who walks away.” Ryuu didn’t bother veiling the threat, or the challenge that came with it. But he knew that while they were on duty, he wouldn’t even think about touching him.

Lisa led them to an arcade, where she spent a lot of time playing games. The interest was something Ryuu could not see, but he doubted that they had any merit other than entertainment. After playing a few games, she moved on to a hoop toss to win a fluffy animal. Ryuu watched as she kept missing.

‘You know, I think we can show Yuusuke up a little without fighting him,’ Oni said.

‘That doesn’t sound like you, Oni.’

‘Looks like I’m starting to mellow. Anyway, let’s play some ball.’ Ryuu nodded, smiling as Oni’s plan formed in his head. It wasn’t at all like him, but Yuusuke needed to be taken down a peg.

“Can I have a go?” he asked Lisa. She smiled and nodded, handing him the ball. He tossed it up a couple of times, then he flicked his wrist and the ball sailed through the hoop. The attendant was shocked, but he conceded to the rules and handed Lisa the toy.

“Thank you Ryuu!” she squealed, hugging him with one arm. She shoved the toy toward Yuusuke and grabbed Ryuu’s arm, leading him out of the arcade. Ryuu looked back to his partner and grinned. This sort of game was fun, not to mention satisfying.

‘About time you started to lighten up, Ryuu,’ Oni said.

‘Don’t push your luck Oni.’

‘Can’t push what you don’t have,’ he responded in a singsong voice.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke sighed taking the toy, he hated arcades, and silly little game. He looked down at the toy, it was such a happy looking thing, staring back at him with soulless eyes. "What?" He said looking at the toy. He didn't care much about following the two children around carrying some stupid stuffed toy.

Yuusuke watched as the two skipped off together to play more games. Yuusuke flicked his gaze around, there was someone watching the two. Yuusuke stepped back making it look as if he wasn't with them. Watching the man who was watching them, he was too obsessed with the two to take any notice of Yuusuke watching him back.

Yuusuke took a kunai from his bag and wrote a note. He tossed the kunai right in front of Ryuu at the game he was playing, he hoped that the man would not see him do it, fortunatly he hadn't, now he just had to rely on Ryuu to read it without reacting as if Yuusuke had tried to kill him.

The note read:
There is a man behind you watching you. I don't want you to react, by turning around, it may scare him off, go about as you were, I want to see how much he is going to follow you. If anything develops be ready, please.

Yuusuke prayed he would read the note, Yuusuke walked off slightly watching the man.

[/blockquote]

[crimsonkaguya]

The Kaguya watched as Lisa played some weird game when he heard the noise of metal clang at his feet. He looked down and saw a kunai with a piece of paper wrapped around the handle. He bent down and picked it up, unwrapping the note and reading it.

‘Someone doesn’t like us,’ Oni said in a singsong voice.

‘That much I can tell, thank you Oni,’ Ryuu replied. He spun around Lisa and landed in such a way that he could watch the man without alerting him to being watched. The man was focused on Lisa, not paying much attention to him. Ryuu’s eyes narrowed at him, then he turned back to the game.

“Well, that was fun,” Lisa said as she finished the game “what should we do next?”

“Maybe we should head back to the fountain,” Ryuu suggested “your father will probably be waiting for you about now.”

“Aw, do we have to?” she asked, looking at him with big eyes. Ryuu felt a sudden urge to deny going to the fountain and suggesting something else. What the hell was she doing?

‘It’s called ‘puppy dog eyes’, Ryuu,’ Oni said ‘girls use them to get what they want.’

‘I can see why it works,’ Ryuu replied. Shaking himself slightly, he shook his head. “I’m afraid we do. The last thing I need is your father putting a bounty on my head for not bringing you back on time.”

“You make me sound like a possession,” she pouted.

“I’m sorry, that wasn’t my intention,” Ryuu said. Lisa nodded and linked her arm through Ryuu’s and dragged him away. He briefly locked eyes with Yuusuke and nodded briefly. The nod said ‘do what you have to.’

‘Let him have all the fun,’ Oni grumbled.

‘I’d rather walk with Lisa than kill someone for watching her. Maybe Yuusuke will think a little bit this time, since he hasn’t actually done anything.’

Lisa and Ryuu quickly arrived at the fountain, where Lisa’s father was waiting.

“Ryuu, thank you,” he said when they arrived. Ryuu was careful to unlink arms with Lisa as they approached. He didn’t need that sort of pain today.

“Where’s your partner?” he asked.

“He’ll be here soon, he’s just taking care of something,” Ryuu said. ‘Non-lethally I hope.’

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke saw his partners not and began to move. He made three quick steps then jumped on the mans shoulders, and bent over, almost 180 degrees to look the man in the face. "Care to tell me your obsession with that girl?" Yuusuke said grinning. The man seemed shocked by Yuusuke's sudden appearance.

"I...I...-"
"To slow." Yuusuke said interrupting the man, then punched him square in the nose knocking him out cold. Yuusuke jumped off the mans shoulders and caught up with the other two not far from the fountain.

"He is out cold, we should have enough time to get Lisa to her father, before he wakes up." Yuusuke said as they arrived at the fountain. Yuusuke winked at Ryuu as if to say 'Watch this.' Lisa's father was there, Yuusuke walked over to the man, putting an arm around him and turning him away from Ryuu and Lisa. He waved his arm forward "So what did you do today in our wonderful capital mr.business man?" Yuusuke asked hoping to appeal to the mans fickle nature and give the love birds time to say goodbye.

[/blockquote]

[crimsonkaguya]

Yuusuke turned Lisa’s father away. Oni caught on quicker than Ryuu did, and Ryuu smiled.

‘Subtle, I like it,’ Oni said.

Ryuu ignored him and smiled at Lisa. “Well, that’s that and only one fatality. That’s a good day as far as I’m concerned.”

Lisa giggled, and then hugged Ryuu quickly, slipping something into his hand. “See you soon, I hope.” She quickly ran to her father and dragged him away mercifully from Yuusuke, grabbing her prize at the same time. Ryuu walked over to Yuusuke and slapped him in the back of the head.

“Subtle, aren’t you? I’m sure he didn’t suspect anything,” Ryuu said as he walked off. “Come on, we have to file our reports and get paid for this mission.” Ryuu opened his hand to see what Lisa had slipped into it. It was a piece of paper, with an address on it. (OOC-would’ve said phone number, but not sure we have phones here.)

‘Looks like she wants to see you again,’ Oni said ‘I think you owe someone a thank you.’

‘Thank you, Oni,’ Ryuu said ‘seems like we CAN get along.’

‘NOW will you let me out?’

‘Sorry, not happening,’ Ryuu said smiling.

{Exit}

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke laughed as Lisa dragged her father away, His partner hit him in the head, his membrane sloshed around his opponents hand causing Yuusuke no pain. "Oh, is that how it is? I give you time to get a hug and an address and you slap me?! Being partners is more rewarding than you thought, eh Ryuu? Yuusuke laughed as they both walked away.

They both knew they would be doing another mission together again soon. Yuusuke continued to chuckle to himself as they walked back home. Time to get paid! Yuusuke was pleased with how this mission had gone.
