They went left into the alleyway, and followed Kanami as she turned this way and that.  After about the sixth turn, they came around a corner and found half a dozen Fangs standing in the alley, apparently having a smoke.  They looked up, saw Aika, Joy, and Kanami, and immediately responded:  "It's them!  Get 'em!"<br/><br/>"Kanami-chan, better stay back; if any of them get past us, they're all yours, okay?"  The alley was narrow enough that both Aika and Joy could stand side by side and<em>almost</em>effectively block anyone coming at them - there was the matter of the alley splitting off in another direction, but if any of the Fangs went that route, Kanami was there to warn them.  Aika slowly moved herself into the opening crane stance of Devil Judgment Style, ready to take on these gangsters.
