Fascinating. Hibiki had never had the please of meeting a living, ticking time bomb before. It took more effort than she liked to admit to keep her expression neutral, even with her supposed ally threatening to send spit flying her way. Fortunately, she didn't get the chance to before their targets arrived.

She thought a silent prayer to the gods for their sense of timing.

The girl's gaze flicked to Kazuko, confirming that she'd chosen silence. That was the closest to submission she'd seen since the girl walked in. Progress, or the calm before the storm?

Hibiki didn't have time to guess, but perhaps she could use it to her advantage. No doubt, they had heard the yelling seconds before, so she would run with it.

"The kind sir that runs the store is out at the moment. He asked us to watch over it in the meantime, mentioning something about gangs demanding protection money." The men looked unamused – at least, until she adjusted her kimono's sleeve. The headband tied to it caught the light for a split-second, and they seemed to get the message.

"It's a sad story to hear, especially when we shinobi have much bigger problems to handle. My partner here-" She gestured to Kazuko. "Wanted to handle this very quickly. Her spear, I imagine, would make sure we wouldn't have to waste time with a second visit. I was just telling her that I thought that would be extreme. You seem like reasonable people, that can understand words instead of violence."

Hibiki joined the men in eyeing the Kaguya. They had fallen silent, but the hints of dread were there. Slightly widened eyes, lips curling downwards, twitchy fingers... All the trademarks of men that had had the tables turned on them. And yet, they hadn't left or admitted wrongdoing.

*A ticking time bomb was the perfect way to describe the girl and her temper. Defusing her was the same process; one wrong move and it will go off. Do it all the way you are supposed to, and she will be tamed. In her life, two people have managed to do it, so it wasn't impossible. Just really difficult. And probably even more difficult for a Senju... Depending on how this one in particular would act around her. Usually, Kazuko hated everyone equally.

She kept her mouth shut, no words, growling or anything else escaping her lips as she just stared the two men. Her eyes looked them dead in the eye, switching between the two, whoever was paying more attention to her. It was as if they had nothing else one could look at other than their eyes. Or their soul behind them. Drilling holes into them, one could say that the one thing Kazuko was really, really good at was staring. In a menacing way.

The way Hibiki talked to them made her slightly go impatient there, with one of her hand's fingers starting to twitch ever so slightly. Then, they all looked at her, and all they could see was a demon waiting to be released. Looks like it was time for some pressure, hm?* "Unlike my partner here-" *She used the same words as Hibiki basically, but did not take her eyes off the men.* "I'd really like to smell some blood today." *Kazuko had a smile on her face that did not look like anything near the 'friendly type of smile'. A little devil, that's what she was.* "I doubt that you two... Gentlemen..." *She had a hard time saying that words, or faking her partial kindness in general.* "...Would like to fulfil that wish for me, hm~?" *That 'hm' dragged on for a bit, with her smile widening more and more. Kazuko was ready to hurt them badly, though it was up to the two and their reactions to her intimidation.*

A ghost of a smile showed itself on the girl's face, though even that wouldn't last. It was the closest she would come to showing relief in the presence of the crooks. They, on the other hand, only showed more concern for their safety. A calm call for their blood was a far cry from the defenceless clerk they'd plan to shake down. Where the Senju had taken the threat relatively well, the men's eyes grew wide. 

The one in the back learned forward to whisper hurried words in his partner's ear. Their proximity and a growing sense of panic made it easy to pick up a few words, like 'Kaguya' and 'prison'. The one in front always had his eyes on one of the two. His eyes grew narrow, as if he was gauging his odds-

"I won't stop her, mind you." Hibiki's let her face fall to neutrality, stowing each of her hands into the other's sleeve. "Our orders were only to stop the harassment. How we choose to do that is..." She paused, and shrugged. "Very open to interpretation."

An arm slipped out of her sleeve and into her obi. That seemed to be enough to send the man behind running, which in turn left the only behind unable to hide his bewilderment. His head snapped back to the girls. "Just a pair of two-bit shinobi... Don't start getting cocky!" He sneered.

Just before fleeing the scene.

*Kazuko watched them slowly panic, pretty much being able to smell the fear in the air. She couldn't deny that their reputation - despite being caused by the Senju partially - is pretty advantageous at times. She was merely a teenager, a normal looking girl, trained to be a Shinobi. Being merely a Genin, she also was probably not as intimidating as she wished to be. But once her personality showed and the people around her noticed which clan she was from, things change really quickly. It was the very same thing here.

Their rushed words were nothing that would slip by her ears, as she could very clearly hear their concern, and the mention of her clan's name. The one in front seemed to judge her strength, to which Kazuko only responded with a wide, evil grin and an even deeper stare into his eyes. Hibiki's words finally managed to make the Kaguya give off a small giggle. Equally evil as her smile.* "Maybe breaking your bones is more fun though..." *Oop- She just mumbled these words a bit, having to make a decision in her mind. Stab and slice, or hit and break..? Both are fun, but if she does one, she wants to do it right.

But she had no time to think about it, since one guy already started running away. Kazuko's eyes followed him for a second only, then went right back at the other guy. His words made her smile vanish on the spot, and the moment he started to run away, she tripped the man with the naginata. The blunt end, to not slice off his foot. That would be too much, even for her. It was just a D-rank mission, after all. She did not care about Hibiki's words though, IF she was to try and stop her.* "Look, I am not allowed to kill you guys." *She grabbed the man by the collar. Suddenly, bones came out of her body. Her forearms, her elbows and her shoulders.* "But I for sure am allowed to hurt you really, *Really* Badly." *This view was probably not what anyone would expect. A petty criminal like him having someone liker her sent after him? Not that great.*

"NOW FUCK OFF!" *A final yell, as she stood up from her crouched position and kicked him in the side, letting him run off without any proper injuries. Her bones were retracted back into her body, where they dissipated. Kazuko then turned around to face the Senju, ready to listen to her opinion. Surely, that was not really what she wanted to see, maybe even holding it as an unnecessary action?*
