Vigilante/Hired Sword [Open]

[Yami no Yaiba]

Yami grunted with pain as the shots got to her as she went down on one knee, but she then got up to attack Rivann. However a few explosions stopped her as her 'shinobis' then stood in between her and Rivann, "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Rivann-san, escape immediately, we cannot allow you to be captured or eliminated," one of the shinobis said as the others began to draw their blades against Ayane.

[Sayumi Michishige]

"Then I'll make you understand!" Sayumi made a mischievous grin as she took Alex's hand into her own, squeezing it firmly. Her hand was filled with warmth, sharing it with Alex.

[Alexandra Reagan]

Ravinn smiled, "Money can go a long way in life," he told Yami, turning and walking away.

"What...what are you doing?" Alexandra questioned.

[Sayumi Michishige]

"Holding your hand." Sayumi smiled warmly, "You're too cold, you need some warmth in your life, so I'm giving you some of mine."

[Alexandra Reagan]

She looked at the other woman, "...why?"

[Sayumi Michishige]

"Because I told you before; I would like to make a strong bond with you. Like I have with Yami-chan. You need someone in your life to help support you when you feel like everything's lost, I want to be that support for you." Sayumi smiled, her tears drying up.

[Yami no Yaiba]

"Traitors!" Yami snarled as one of the shinobis took up a combat stance, her eyes widened when she recognised that stance, it wasn't one of the Haji Mon standard combat stance, it was one of the other High Clans combat stance, "Who are you?"

"A new order that will bring a new era of shinobis!" the shinobi said as Ayane then defended herself against the ninjas, but it was no use, they were equipped with weapons that could penetrate her armour and they were also armed with other equipment she knew they couldn't have unless they were working with Rivann.

Ultimately she lost the fight as her body was covered with slashes, arrow wounds and other things as the shinobis, thinking that she was dead left her to die, before she lost consciousness her final thoughts were of Sayumi, "S...ayumi..." she whispered before losing consciousness.

The real Haji Mon clan then arrived as one of the aides went to Sayumi, "Sayumi where's Yami-sama?" he asked in a panicked voice.

[Alexandra Reagan]

She shook her head, at a loss for words.

[Sayumi Michishige]

Sayumi heard the Haji Mon Ninja and her eyes widened; "What do you mean 'where's Yami-san'?! Were you not just with her!" Sayumi's eyes widened, she let go of Alex and stood, gasping in pain from her leg. "S-she's..." She closed her eyes in pain, before moving--pushing past the Haji Mon ninja and stepping onto the staircase, she began to struggle to run up it. "YAMI-CHAN!" She cried out as she drew her Ikazuchimaru, holding it with only one hand--smashing open any doors in her way as she approached towards where Yami would be lying.

[Yami no Yaiba]

They arrived at the location as the Haji Mon ninjas began to attempt to pursue the rouge ninjas, but it would be a futile effort, meanwhile Yami was in and out of consciousness as she heard Sayumi's voice while the Haji Mon healer would do his best to tend to the wound, "Damn it," the aide said, "how the hell did we not see this? Our entire London branch wiped out...damn it what the hell is going on?" he asked as he looked down at his leader unsure whether or not she would survive.

[Sayumi Michishige]

Sayumi broke down, falling on her hands and knees as she was next to Yami. Her eyes wide with fear, as they dripped tears onto the ground. She opened her mouth slowly, completely horrified at this sight, "Y-yami-chan... W-what did they..." She stuttered, her voice as shaky as it could get, "Please! You have too... You have to pull through, don't die!" She cried out, burying her face in Yami's chest--Sayumi bean to sob, 'What about our promise? Are you going to let that just die along with you, don't do this to me, please, Ayane!' Sayumi thought to herself, balling her fists up.

[Yami no Yaiba]

With the darkness approaching Yami had only one goal in mind: Warn Sayumi. With effort she grabbed Sayumi and pulled her close to her lips, "S-Sayumi...be c-careful...t-treason...ninjas," she whispered gasping with each word as she then gave a small smile and placed her hand on Sayumi's cheek, "b-be s-strong...you...can m-mak-make it...become...the number...one...Reina and you...I-I-I'm s-sorry..." as she lost consciousness and her hand dropped to the ground with a dead thud.

[Sayumi Michishige]

Sayumi's eyes widened even more--if possible. She felt her heart crack apart, "Ya... mi..?" She said softly, her eyes filling with tears anew as they ran down her face. She grew pale in the face, her hands shaking as she raised them to touch her cheek softly, she buried her face into her, sobbing uncontrollably. Unable to form anymore words, her sadness overcoming him. She'd make them pay: the ones responsible, that man, and those... those... traitors.

'I'm going to destroy them, each and every one of them...' she thought viciously to herself; 'I'll show them how horrifying the Arts of the Clan of Ikazuchi-Arashi can truly be!'

[Yami no Yaiba]

"Don't worry," the aide said softly, "she is not dead, she is strong," he said as the healer told him that she would need to be taken to a hospital, one that is well protected, "alright I'll contact one of our clinics. There has to be one capable of treating her," he said as he made the call before touching Sayumi's shoulder, "I think you should come with me...you'll be safe with us," he said.

[Sayumi Michishige]

Sayumi wiped her eyes, she sniffled, "A-alright, b-but what about the girl who was with me?" She asked.
