"I agree." Haruki mumbled, stuffing himself with the rice as if it was a race. "We better get a move on, otherwise... Say what you want, I'm still telling you we're followed." he shook his head. "I'd have hurried us more if I wouldn't be sleeping."<br/>Nyoko, quickly eating her own food, sighed. "Then I guess it's good that you slept long."<br/><br/>They both finished their food in a minute, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Traveling and doing it quickly became an old habit by the time, and thus, there was nothing special about quickly packing all the things they had with themselves up. It's not like it was much, anyway, but they could prepare themselves in nothing but a few moments. And while Nyoko decided to stay to talk to Blake, Haruki left their little encampment to look around.<br/><br/>"You don't have to worry about rushing us." Nyoko assured Blake while Haruki was checking their surroundings for any sign of danger. "You know, when we were young, we were always made travel light with our master. We were taught that in the case of something happening - like, something bad. And it helped us a lot of times... So now we're kind of used to it. I admit, I'm thankful to our master for teaching us that... Me and Haruki have been kicked out of inns before, and it made it that much easier." She gave him a warm smile, but it faded away upon losing sight of Haruki. He was nowhere near...<br/><br/>She sprang up to her feet. "Haruki! Haruki, where are you?" she called out, pacing around as she searched for him.<br/><br/>When he finally stepped out, she almost got a heart attack. He was completely bloodied, his clothes torn at the left shoulder, missing all of the sleeve except for a few scraps. Drops of his own blood, mixing with thick streams of something black, were splattered around his arm, covering most of his pale skin, almost a river of it flowing down his left temple. He was breathing heavily, and his left fist, dripping with blood, clutched the remains of something black and tattered, while his katana's blade was entirely coated in black.<br/>"I said... We better get a move on." he spoke.
