The doors of the private chamber was quickly pushed open, as a minor soldier quickly ran inside and threw himself into a kneeling position before the royal heir. "Y-Your Highness! I-I bring you terrible news! Lord Tenshin.. He was murdered in his chamber!" The soldier managed to blurt the words out, his head bowing down as he braced himself for any anger from the royal son. Instead, he was shocked to see that the youngest prince taking the news in a lighter manner than he would expect, especially hearing that his own father was killed. Even more was how the old Adviser stood beside the Prince, was not even moving whatsoever either.<br/><br/>"... How about the murderers?" Izanagi began to ask calmly; an inscrutable expression was etched upon his face as he just merely stood there and was unmoving. At this, the soldier scrambled up to his feet and bowed his head low once again to the Prince.<br/><br/>".. W-We're doing our best to capture them! They proved to be well-trained, your Highness, but we would not allow them to escape!" The answer from the soldier brought a slightly satisfied look upon the Adviser's face, though both the Prince and himself began to stiffen when the soldier began to mention about another unexpected news. "B-But.. Your Highness, you should know.. The bodyguard of Lord Tenshin.. S-She... decided not to serve the military anymore. A-And for some reason.. S-She is defending the two murderers.."<br/><br/>With that had been mentioned, Adviser Gorou leaned himself closer to Prince Izanagi as both men began to talk to each other in a lowly manner to ensure the minor soldier would not be able to pick out their words. "... It seems that General Oda is aware that something was not right, and knew those two are innocent.. It would be better if we do get rid of her as well, along with the other two, your Majesty." The Prince gave a short glance towards the old Advisor and gave a slight nod of his head, before turning himself away to turn his back towards the soldier. For the older man, he understood the gesture and began to move himself away to head out of the private chamber, along with the scrambling foot soldier as he followed behind.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>For the agile and stealthy duo, they had been running around and scattering the soldiers but knew they definitely needed to arrive to the stables quickly. It seemed that it was fortunate that the soldiers had not picked up the words Sayuri had shouted out to Kyou, or they would be heading to the same direction and perhaps have both of them surrounded with their large numbers. But still, when they did arrived to the stables, even the female of the pair was surprised to see the similar face of the woman who they first faced within the private chambers of the dead Lord.<br/><br/>Allowing for her partner to handle the talking with the other woman, Sayuri was already moving when Kyou gave her a gesture to signal to her, as she moved into the stables.  Hushing a pair of horses and begin to work fast as she strapped the straddle to both horses and began to lead both riding creatures out of the stalls as she tugged the reins with her hands. The half-demon female had been moving herself quickly, especially when she could hear the thundering footsteps from somewhere nearby and getting louder within each second.<br/><br/>Tugging the horses closer and heading towards where Kyou stood, she tossed one reins over to Kyou and allowed for him to catch within his hand before giving a judging look towards the odd female and began to climb up onto the straddle. "If you do think you are trying to buy time for your soldiers to finally arrive and capture us, then you are definitely wrong," the crimson-eyed woman began to say; her being not entirely convinced about the other woman, unlike her companion. Still, it seemed that they better not waste any more precious time, especially when she then realized when a small number of soldiers arrived and nearing the stables, and even more with an older man in an elegant robes, leading them.<br/><br/>"General Oda!" The older man shouted out to the older woman; anger and disappointment was clearly expressed on his face as he neared towards them but then stopped within his tracks when Sayuri quickly drew out her own katana and aimed the tip of the blade towards him. "What is the meaning of this?!" Adviser Gorou continued to shout, though his eyes remain upon the half-demon cautiously. "How could you be helping them, when they are the murderers of our beloved Lord?! Do you want to be branded as a traitor?!"<br/><br/>"At least, she does think with her head, rather than you idiotic people. I would give her that," the mixed-blooded woman began to say, which earned a harsh glare from the old Adviser towards her and he then gestured towards both pair as he began to gave an order to them.<br/><br/>"Kill them both! If General Hoishi is indeed wanting to help those murderers, then she would be known as a traitor! So<em>kill her</em>as well, if you must!" As he gave out the order, the soldiers who came along with him began to rush forward with their weapons out and Sayuri knew that she might had to take a drastic measure, if she had to. But looking towards the lighter-haired woman, and then to Kyou, she then called out to him.<br/><br/>"Should we take her along with us, Kyou?! It's your choice! Seems she's another victim just like us!" Turning her head back towards the rushing soldiers, and even seeing more soldiers coming from a distance away, she twirled the blade within her hand as she taken her position and ushered the horse she was riding to remain calm.
