Her modesty covered once more, she allowed herself to relax a little and her shoulders slumped a fraction.<br/><br/>Chie took the sheathed katana from the soldier. There was a flash of sun reflecting off the drawn blade and a metallic ring, followed by the splatter of a curve of blood drawn on the deck with all the elegance of a calligrapher's penmanship. Behind her a sailor held up the handless stump of his arm and screamed in shock and disbelief. A splash overboard announced that the offending hand that had dared grope her had now been claimed by the merciless sea.<br/><br/>So swift had the sword stroke been that the blade spotted no blood. Chie resheathed the katana and offered it back with both hands.
