<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/P7bMJyq.jpg) </div>A little light ahead told of the likely source for the breeze, and it was as Reiko neared this light that it happened.<br/><br/>Something blue-ish, dark, and fast lunged at her from the ceiling. It was a fast, far too fast for even the training of a kunoichi to react to, nothing more than a dark blue blur which seized and tore off the kimono in a single muscular motion. In an instant Reiko was bared save for the veil over her face, the wind generated by the monster's movement still sending her black hair fluttering and washing over her body.<br/><br/>The guardian now squatted some ten feet on the worked stone floor before her, two of its arms carefully looking through the stolen clothing. It was... mostly human, anyway. Dark blue skin stretched tight over a body of bound muscle, with three strong arms on either side making for a total of eight limbs, reddish eyes and a pair of horns curving backward over its skull. The guardian was mostly human in its general shape, and even its facial structure was almost entirely that of a brutish man, and as it rose upright to a height of nearly eight feet Reiko saw that it wore no clothing. No hair, either, adorned its body, and beneath honed abs she could not help but notice the rather generous tool it carried between its legs, or that it was already semi-stiff as if in response to gazing upon her nude form.<br/><br/>The monster stood there for a moment, as if sizing up the bared kunoichi.
