Despite his answer to reassure her about her concerns, Sayuri had that feeling that even her partner-in-crime was entirely convinced about the whole situation as well. True enough that they had dealt with more complicating situations and even more dangerous bounties, especially when they concerned some of the supernatural. Fortunately enough was her with her unique mix of blood heritage, as well as Kyou with his own knowledge and skills. So something like this should not be too bad if worse to come, and so Sayuri nodded her head gently in agreement to his words.<br/><br/>Still, when the man responded to her teasing with the casual contact of his hand to her hip, the woman could not resist a smirk to form on her lips and even more was when she leaned her head down to press a kiss onto the side of his neck. "... When this is all over and everything went smoothly? I'll definitely allow you to fill me and lots more as part of our celebration." Even if she did heard his grumble beneath his breath, the gorgeous female brushed it aside and had turned her attention to fulfilling this mission of theirs.<br/><br/>When he begin to signal for them to move, she had moved quickly and silently along with him as they kept within the safety of the shadows and used the provided blueprints to find the hidden pathway. It was just too easy; those words kept ringing inside of her head as they walked down the secret passageway until they finally reached to another wall and activated the switch to open the next door. When the door was slid open and the tapestry pushed away to allow them entry, even the female could detect the unmistakable smell of death in the air.<br/><br/>Sayuri narrowed her eyes as her and her partner then saw the situation before them — from the other female figure who had lowered to the unmoving form of an elderly man, now presumably dead — but what was really disturbing was the weapon within the other woman's hand. Her crimson eyes widened at the sight of the dagger within the grasp of the female figure before them and her hands had went to the belt around her waist — the many daggers within their holsters, having similar shaped and design, from the hilt to their blades. But oddly, any of them could see that she had not drawn out any of them as of yet. Her hand even went to the hilt of her katana which was strapped to her back and she stood beside her partner, only hoping that this would not turn dire. ".... Knew I should had made a bet with you." She passed that comment to Kyou with a feasible attempt to lighten the mood.<br/><br/>Before any of them could delve into figuring this situation out, even the woman heard of the many footsteps as guards began to rush over to the room and then, the doors were swung open as guards begin to swarm into the room; weapons all out and ready and pointed towards the two intrudrs. ".... I don't think they would believe us that we did nothing." The woman mentioned to Kyou, and gave a slight glance to the man, then giving a slight tilt of her head as an indication that she would be making her move soon. Her hand went to grip tighter on the hilt of her katana as the guards began to near them; their weapons pointing at their direction.<br/><br/>"We came as fast as we could! The guards at the north east side were slain by these intruders!" One of them mentioned to the female above their rank but the guards soon realized on the whole situation, now seeing their beloved Lord was murdered and now dead. Another had went over to the former bodyguard of their Lord, eyes all wide as he looked from the wound on the Lord's chest and then his eyes moving to the dagger within Hoishi's hand. The said soldier then took a turn to look at both criminals before his eyes fell upon the daggers holstered at Sayuri's belt.<br/><br/>"That woman! She used one of her daggers to stab our Lord!" At the man's words, the soldiers within the room begin to raise their weapons in threatening manner. "... Her eyes are red.. She's a demon! An evil monster! Our poor Lord died in the hands of a foul woman!"<br/><br/>"... Oh, come on. Because my eyes are crimson red, and my blood is part demon, you all think I'm evil and therefore, I'm the killer. Typical mindset really.<em>Morons</em>." Sayuri responded with a sarcastic tone within her voice; all too tired from hearing the same comments and familiar story ever since she would face the normal humans. "... Also, we swear on our lives that we didn't slain or kill anybody tonight. If other nights, perhaps it would be a different story, but we did not kill anybody," she quickly added, but knew it was a futile attempt. Perhaps that was not a smart move for her to retaliate like so, as one of the soldiers suddenly dashed forward to take an initiative to make the first move. But that was what the woman was hoping for, it seemed.<br/><br/>Moving forward to stand in front of Kyou, she caught the sword with her bare two hands as the weapon swung from the top. Holding at the blunt sides of the sword, she had easily held the sword there as the man struggled to pulled the weapon out of her hands. Eventually, the woman moved to swing her legs beneath her and kicking the man's feet off the floor to fall back to the floor. Before the other men could react and attack, Sayuri took this opportunity to grab the fallen man from the floor and carried him up with her hands, before throwing him forward to his fellow comrades. A number of men were caught from the toss of the body, as they even fell down to the floor and opening a small space for both of them to rush through.<br/><br/>Without needing to say anything to Kyou, the woman had started to move and ran passed through the guards along with her partner as they flee from the room. Behind them, more guards trailed behind them and trying to catch up with their speed as they ran and trying to find an exit from the castle grounds. It seemed like it would be an endless chase as they moved from one quarters to the next, fighting off guards along the way as they did. "Kyou! The stables should be nearby!" Sayuri called out to her partner as she grabbed one guard by the neck then tossing him aside to knock off a couple of men from their path. "Let's find the horses and just escape from here!"
