Snippet #1455387

Ankoku hadn't expected anything at all from the now silent Kazuma, and was surprised when he spoke, more than anything, but saw what he was planning on doing with his yumi. As his arrow flew through the air, Ankoku released Yajuu, who went sprinting past Kou-san, and simultaneously drew out a Tanto and threw it into the throat of the man that had been standing next to the robed one. Yajuu leapt onto another who was far too slow to counter attack the charging wolf, and was knocked to the ground and quickly had his throat torn apart. Ankoku then proceeded to spin around Kou, his naginata Hateshi slicing through the air, and then dropped to a knee, removing a man's leg at the knee, and then stood erect. He looked down at the screaming man, then planted the tip of Hateshi into his chest.

Blood spurted upward, and Ankoku laughed in a frenzy to himself, but spun around as he heard a man rushing towards him, katana held high. Ankoku quickly slipped the hilt of his naginata between the charging bandit's legs, then flipped the cretin clear over him. He landed with a loud thud, but quickly recovered, back to his feet, and tried to swing at Ankoku, who deflected the blow with the hilt of his naginata, held at an angle, so that the bandit's blade would slide diagonally down to the ground, and then spun the blade of the naginata about, causing it to cut through the man's arm, completely disconnecting it from his body, and the blade continued into the man's torso, stopping halfway through. Ankoku lifted his naginata in one hand, with the body hanging limply on it, then drew it closer and kicked off the extra weight. There was blood trickling down the front of Ankoku's armor, and Yajuu was leaping onto another of the fools, when he started to laugh again, quietly at first, and then progressively getting louder.
