After the intensity of the tournament and the commotion that followed. It seemed fitting that our leading warriors took time to rest and recuperate. This was aided by the hero ronin Yajirobe, who had warded off the evil demon spawn Tambourine that had come to kill them. The warriors had gathered in the eating hall, watching and listening to the tale of Yajirobe, as he so eloquently told it over their well deserved meals.<br/><br/>"So, it must have been about a year ago now." Yajirobe belched loudly and without remorse. "I was hanging out in the mountains on the southern continent. My local stomping grounds ya know?" The question was rhetorical. "Next thing I know I got these green demon types invading my space man, fucking up my territory. It's not cool you know? So I goes over to em and I says 'Hey! What the fuck are you doing to my forests man? I fucking live here!' But that was a big mistake man. See, I had this Dragon Ball that I'd been keepin. I was guarding it see, cause they can grant wishes if you get em all. So's to keep it out of the hands of the 'bad man', I entrusted myself as guardian to the one star Dragon Ball." A declaration he was proud of. "Thing is, that day I'd left it behind at my digs when I'd gone out to yell at these fuckin demons man. I didn't realize they'd been scouting me out so they could steal my Dragon Ball man." The sincerity in his voice was evident. "So ever since then I been trackin em, but it's tough man they got that blimp and they can fly and shit. They really know how ta fuck ya over man, for real. But I can sense their energies though, so I always know where they are. See, Korrin taught me how to do it after I climbed his tower which was pretty cool." He belched yet again. "And that's pretty much it." Yajirobe shrugged and continued his feast.<br/><br/>~*~<br/><br/>Yin watched in amazement as the rotund ronin so coarsely recounted his tale. Yin was still bandaged, the scar on his side still felt fresh, even if it wasn't bleeding. Though he was tremendously full from the bean he was forced to eat earlier, Yin still took to his own food with politeness and dignity, and ate it with a courteous manner. After finishing a moderate mouthful of rammen Yin brushed his lips with the back of his hand and spoke. "I didn't get to thank you for your aid ronin. The magic bean you gave to me healed my wounds and rejuvenated me beyond anything I have ever known. You are a savior among men my friend." Yin smiled warmly, but was met with a scowl from Yajirobe who curtly told him that it couldn't be helped and was necessary for his plan, to Yin's chagrin.<br/><br/>~*~<br/><br/>"See, you two guys. I couldn't let you get killed. You guys are some of the strongest guys I've seen for a long time and I'm going to need you if we're ever going to get my Dragon Ball back." Yajirobe replied. "So what do you guy's say, you in or what?"<br/><br/>~*~<br/><br/>Yin noted that Yajirobe had become slightly more impatient as time had wore on, perhaps his restlessness could be attributed to what must have become a habit for him to be constantly tracking and searching for his enemies. It also accounted for the vague details in his story and all the questions that they begged.Though it was even becoming awfully apparent to Yin that time was wearing on, and the more they wasted the further away the demons and the Dragon Ball would get. "I have some questions before we carry o--" Yin was promptly interrupted by Yajirobe whom reminded Yin that there was time for questions later.<span style="font-style: italic">Curious. There is so much to know, what are these, Dragon Balls? Perhaps, perhaps I could make a wish if I gathered them all.</span>Yin thought shrewdly.<span style="font-style: italic">Heh, I've been a wandering minstrel for so long now perhaps it is time for my adventure, my time in life. Time, for me to be king.</span>Yin's face although contemplative, did not reveal his intention as he responded with a decisive; "Alright. I'm your man, but any funny business and I'm out of there." The response seemed to please Yajirobe who urged to Yin that he was making the right decision.<br/><br/>~*~<br/><br/>"And what about you man?" Yajirobe's attentions turned now towards Hiromichi.
