"Here and now it is." Hiro said with a smile, reaching up behind his bandanna and tightening its long ends, "We'll keep going until we have a clearer picture of everyone's capabilities as a team."<br/><br/>Though... he wouldn't mind if Ume had learned some humility from this encounter, "Ready?" He said, before forming a number of handseals. Beside him appeared another Hiro, emulating his stance and demeanor exactly. The original Hiro then assumed a fighting stance, hunching low and looking... almost sloppy. His movements were random, but they kind of resembled a monkey in a way. He shifted a sideways glance to Ume... Would she attack first, and create an opening for him? He surmised she didn't have a patient bone in her body...<br/><br/>Really, he preferred to fight her than Iku... He already had a pretty clear picture of the archer's abilities, and this one needed to be put in her place.<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">And another 19?
