Joy gave Aika a sour look at her comment about her display but then she laughed and shrugged, "Good point.  Probably aren't that many blondes around this place either.  Japan's not exactly known for them."<br/><br/>She smiled as Kanami returned carrying a bokken.  She was SO cute!  Joy just wanted to hug her.  But hugging was not exactly a norm in Japan, so she held off on that impulse.  "Good to be prepared, but you keep back in case anything happens before we get there, all right?"  She punched her right fist into her left palm and grinned, "And feel free to hide out and watch once we get there and start busting heads.  I like having an audience!"<br/><br/>Kanami nodded again, her fingers gripping the bokken tightly, "Well...maybe.  Come on, let's go!"  The three of them left the shop, Kanami pausing to lock it and slip the sign over to read "We'll be right back" with a cute little chibi Kanami on it giving a peace sign.  She led them down the street half a block and then took an abrupt left turn into an alley.  "This way!"
