Tashi felt around until he discovered the Guard's body. He felt her armor and then rushed to lift her up... but something wasn't right. She was heavy... too heavy! Shirō was pressing his whole weight upon her, keeping the woman pinned until he had time to carry out some nefarious plan. Instantly as soon as Tashi displaced her, he came under attack. Through the smoke, an open palm came out to strike. Tashi, not only concealed by his technique but also by the smoke, had enough time to get out of the way of an already off-target strike.<br/><br/>He followed through with his plan and lifted up the Guard and Shirō both. He clung onto her body, grabbing hold of her waist and keeping his knee planted hard on her back as the Mibu Guard carried her over his head. Just as he was about to reposition her body over his shoulder, he felt the man's weight disappear. He must have jumped off of her. The sound of footsteps patting on the ground in front of him confirmed this as Shirō managed to avoid being up-ended by the sudden movement beneath him.<br/><br/>From the smoke cloud, Shirō leaped out backwards and assumed a fighting stance with one hand poised in a sign. The smoke was quickly consumed by the deep purple gas of the poison. Within, Tashi heard and felt the paralyzed kunoichi succumb to a vicious hacking fit.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Attack of Opportunity!<br/>Concealment 50% chance: 30!

Even moving at a normal pace he was stealthy, first ensuring that Imouto was sound asleep and safe and then turning his head to the other room, where Mari and Kaname were... As Kaname cried out, Sakumo was at the entrance to their little room, scratching his forehead.<br/><br/>He shook his head and smiled, "I leave for one second and you two are already at it..." the White Fang chuckled a bit, "But I guess after all we've been through today, it's... cathartic, eh?"
