Snippet #1451863

In truth, Kana had started to melt away during the conversation. She was not interested in interjecting, as doing so would only make others disagree without real reason. Everyone had their own way of living from what she could tell, and now Kou-san and Ankoku-san were in the middle of baring their teeth against one another for it. She trailed behind the two, as she had slowly backed up during the conversation, and she was studying the both of them while their backs were turned.

Again she realized how huge Ankoku-san was, and she had no idea what in the world a Mongol was. Kou-san, although smaller, looked more steady, and very sure of himself, he was a quiet storm in the face of an angry wolf.

Kana sped up her pace to come up next to Kou-san's side, the side he kept his sword on. "Kou-san, I think that it is better to simply let this matter drop is it not? Ankoku-san has his way of living, and you yours. Can either be considered wrong if you are still standing? While we're at it, maybe we should keep it that way." Kana had gently place her fingertips on Kou's hand, as if urging him to let his sword go for now. The last thing they needed was for a fight to take place while they had yet to begin their mission. But from what Kana did not know, their journey would begin much sooner, as eyes were watching them from the side of the dirt road.

Kana let her hand fall back to her side as she looked to her left, she felt odd, why was that robed person looking so tense, as if about to strike? She could not see his face, it was hidden by his hat.

Kana decided to ignore, it, an unwise choice, as he suddenly leapt up, taking Kana by suprise and holding a knife to her throat, but not grabbing a hold of her. He simply stopped her moving forward, and she certainly stopped. He was keeping a safe distance apparently. As on the other side, a couple of his 'buddies' leapt up as well.

"A couple of them look like they have cash at least." One of them commented. they were ambushers. "Draw your swords and I cut the lady's throat."
