Haruki shook his head, letting the crimson mess of a hair - which was still damp, and now bound up at the top of his head except for the four braids - bounce around. "Not much. I don't care who he goes after first, I will try to cut his head off and burn it none the less. It changes nothing..." he replied. It really didn't change anything - well, except for one thing. "We just have to take it into account when we fight him. That is all." he added after a while.<br/><br/>Yes, that was the only thing that they really needed to do about it. The fact that the Black Samurai was first going after Blake would even give Haruki an opportunity to attack while he'd be too busy with his companion... Though, what if Nyoko would decide to go with them? What would that change? He couldn't afford to put her into danger... He agreed to watch over her, and he swore to keep that oath. No, he couldn't let anything happen to her.<br/><br/>When she was just a child, and he and his sensei found her. He was sure that the Black Samurai would remember her... After her parents were killed by him.
