Introduction
Although it is the same time period, the same general area (Japan), and such, there is no Mugen, Jin, or Fuu in this RP. They're out doing their thing, being hungry, and what not but do not have any impact on our story ^_^. This means I want good, original characters from all of you!
An old man with a long, white beard and, while bumpy, shiny head sits down. His gray, squinty eyes looked in your direction and you realise that he is blind. The old man's robes are dirty but look as if they used to be wearable by royalty. In one arthritic hand is a cane, gripped by three fingers and thumb, where his pinkie should be is a dirty stub. In his other hand is a small scroll that looks as if it has been through about as much as the man himself. The old man takes a seat in front of you in front of the fire and unrolls the scroll, looking over it slowly... Wait... He's blind, so why is he trying to read the scroll? You think to yourself but do not say a thing. The knowledge this old man holds is far to great to not be patient for just a moment.
Finally the old man seems to have found what he was looking for on the scroll, "Ah yes here we are..." He says in a weak voice also distorted by the fact that he has no teeth, "You wanted to know about Muttsu Doragon, the man with the six swords... Yes... Yes... I will tell you about him!"
To your bewilderment, the old man tosses the scroll into the fire with a cackle as he begins his tale, "No one still living knows his true face or even face but everyone knows his ability, or at least the stories that have been given. Able to cut a man in half in front of a crowd, without even the crowd seeing him move or even knowing which of the six blades he used. This is one of the little tid-bits that drive the nails of respect deep into the souls of every noble bladesman. While fierce, Muttsu is said to be a man of great honor and would never strike without reason. The reason, they say, he was so powerful were his swords. Each one, a different element, each one endowed with great power. No better hands than his to fall into..." The old man takes a moment to stroke his beard as he reveals an old pipe and puts it in his mouth, making it even more difficult to understand his ancient words.
"There... All you need to know about the Six Dragon... Or is it?" He grins or at least tries to, the pipe falling out of his mouth and onto the ground... He doesn't seem to notice and continues.
Your butt is getting sore from sitting on the little stool that he has provided you with. You suspect that one of the legs is shorter than the other four but this is too good, "Around a month ago, stories started popping up all around the major cities and even farm villages that Muttsu Doragon was dead. Cut down in Tokyo? Burned alive in Osaka? Shot in Kyoto? Drowned in the Sea of Japan? Poisoned on Mt. Fuji? The list goes on of how and where but the tales are convincing. Somewhere out there is the grave of the great Six Dragon swordsman... But wait, there's more. Many of the stories also say his swords are still with him... Ah... Now you are interested yes?" He says with a little wink.
The old man gives a hack and cough and groans as he awaits his strength to return, "No doubt you'll go to find his body, if he ever really existed. I'm starting to doubt he does because I never seen him..." He cackles again, "But maybe because I can't see nothing, eh?" You start to suspect this old man has said all he wanted to say and is just milking your visit for all its worth now, "One thing before you leave..." He seems to have sensed your readiness to go, "Others have come and gone... Many of them ready to kill for the same chance..." His tone has become morbid and serious but quickly flips back to the muffled voice, "You can go now,"
With that little bit of warning hovering around your head, you leave and prepare for your journey...

He made it through the line with ease, the lot of them standing around confused looking and unsure of what to do about what had just happened. Then something unexpected happened. There was a loud crack and suddenly the old man went down, holding his back. Dosetsu was stunned as were the gangsters and the crowd as well. Did this mean that he wouldn't get to have a match with the old man after all? He was somehow able to make a quick recovery by drinking what was most likely sake, and he sprang back up, seemingly full of energy and ready to continue. He tried pulling some prank on them, but they weren't falling for it for a second time, it seemed. That was their mistake.
Dosetsu wasn't all for cutting down men from behind, it wasn't the most honorable move one could make. But these men... boys, held no skill or honor, they didn't deserve any less anyway. Also, anyone that would so blatantly turn their backs to an enemy with a drawn weapon was begging harshly to be attacked from behind.
Setting his eyes and his grip, Dosetsu leaned forward quite a bit and kicked off hard, dashing his way straight through the group as the old man had. He was a blur though, kimono and katana flashing and cutting through the air at barely viewable speeds until he flew out at the other end, katana held up in the air at an angle as his kimono waved back and forth and finally came to a stop. Suddenly, blood started splurting into the air from the lot of them, and one little drop dripped off the end of Dosetsu's katana. He slashed downward quick and hard, sending the rest of the blood from his katana, and stared at the old man.
"You going to be up for round 2 still, old timer?" Dosetsu asked interestedly, a hint of respect in his voice.

Their were a lot of dead men here and they were the ones who had killed them. Now they only killed them in self defense but Jo had in similar situations where the lord wouldn't listen to reason so Jo really did not trust too many of people of authority.
So he decided that the best course of action might be to put as much distance between them and the city before the city guard caught wind of the little "incident."
"Young man why don't we change the venue of the duel to somewhere else where there will be less distractions." Jo suggested to the other swordsman.
"HALT NO ONE MOVE!" A voice rang loudly.
Ah crap.

Of course when Akiko heard don't from someone such as an authority she would normally listen but in this case she chose not to. Normally she would've sunk back into the crowd but after watching the sight of men getting cut down out of partial self defense, she decided to do something else. She ran near the swordsman and old man then turned and pointed and said "Look a naked woman!" To which everyone looked, "Wow even the women looked, what's with this place?" she thought as she reached into the sleeve of her kimono and threw down a slightly hardened ball that broke revealing it was a smoke bomb.
the whole crowd of people and near by alley ways were engulfed in smoke and Akiko shoved the man and old man into and alley mumbling for them to get moving and followed after them. "Great now I'll have to buy more smoke bombs which is gonna set my savings back even more, plus boarding for tonight, this town is gonna make me go broke!" she mumbled as she added up how much money she had thrown away in a sense today, some of it literally.
She was following after the two men, impressed still that the old man was so spry for how aged he was. "Sooooo who has ideas? Because for some reason I just helped you guys out even though you probably could have gotten out on your own," she said as she followed after them. She could hear yelling and foot steps behind them as they ran and soon they came to a dead end that was a high wall. There were buildings on the sides with lower roofs she judged the two men could probably easily use to jump onto and then over the high wall. "Go, I'm not the ones that cut down a group of lowbie gang men," she said to them wholly expecting them to leave her behind.

So on that note he lifted the girl up bridal style and then handed her over to the younger man which Jo then notice a goofy smile come across the young man's face. Ah to be young again.
"All right lets get going." Jo stated.
And with that they went onto the roofs and then over the wall.

The daimyo waited for Raena to leave before tossing the cat away. It hissed and slinked away a bit, "What a wonderful day of mischief this has been!" He clapped his hands together, "Now to check out what is going on down town... Oh guards!" He saw two figures kneel outside the veil, "I hear something down the street. What do I need to know?"
"Nothing Master Fujiyama, it is just a couple of hooligans in a fight. There were a few casualties, probably a few thugs, but there will soon be an arrest and they will punished," Music to his ears. Murderers were usually executed and, as daimyo, it was his duty... No his privilege to witness such things.
"Make sure they don't escape. It's been far too long since we made an example of someone!" Yoshiro smiled a little and the two figures stood and started to walk away, "Wait! Wait! I'm hungry... Have someone prepare a delicious fruit snack for me, can you do that?" The two guards had to be used to this by now as the simultaneously bowed and gave a compliance to the daimyo.
Osamu knew where this was going once the authorities arrived. He was about to make his exit away, not that he had done anything wrong but it was technically illegal for any non-authorized person to have a weapon... Everyone did of course and the law was not enforced at all, obviously. However, if something was going down and arrests were being made, you should pray they don't find a weapon on you. It was easy for the authorities to say "He attacked me with this."
Anyway, as soon as he turned to leave he heard Akiko's voice, or at least someone who sounded like her yell about a naked woman... Of course he turned! No perverted ideas or anything but really... A muffled 'thump' sound followed by a quick burst of smoke made him realize that it was a distraction. "It was her alright..."
Not waiting around for the smoke to clear, the young ronin made his way around the block and looked about. "Well I'm screwed here... Can't see a thing," All that was around was a fruit stand, a long stick, and the many buildings that peppered Tokyo... Osamu grabbed stick and lined up a pole-vaulting jump, running fast and planting the stick just before the fruit stand, he went up and over and onto the roof of a building. Luckily, the roof only bent and did not give in. This was better... From here he could move about and watch the chase, if there was one, occur.
Out from between the bushes revealed a young woman in a rugged black kimono. Ornaments from her hair adjusted themselves, causing her hair to look disoriented and rugged as her clothing. As she was running, she looked behind her, somewhat afraid about something that was heading her way. She had a blue wakizashi sword in one hand, and its case on her side.
The gallops behind her came louder and louder, and as the woman was running, two horses erupted from between the bushes; four more behind them. On top of them were officials from an empire, that the woman must have ran away from. The two officials up front charged closer to the woman with naginatas wielded. So close that the horses were literally a few yards away from her. Both officials swifted their naginatas at the same time, trying to attack her, but her sword had blocked one of them, causing a loud "ting!" sound. Then she grabbed the lower handle, and pushed it towards the official, butting him, and knocking him off.
Trying to grab the strap of the free horse, she steadily jumped onto the harness seat. She kicked the horse a little with her bare feet to give it a little push, trying to gallop as fast as she could away from them, but something ahead was her advantage; buildings nearby. She needed someplace to hide.
Dashing into the city, she instantly caught sight to a naked woman, causing her horse to halt, and knock her off onto the dirt path.

Dosetsu couldn't help but let out a smug smile as the old man put the young girl from before in his arms. She seemed as if she was going to protest but was cut short by a small surprised gasp as she closed her eyes and clung to him as he jumped to the roof nearby, then a slightly higher one and over the wall. She mumbled about hating heights and then made him put her down as the started to run again. He became slightly impressed by how she seemed able to keep up with them and then wondered why she even had a smoke bomb maybe she was a spy, but now wasn't the time to worry about that.
Akiko couldn't help but like the feeling of being carried but hated the fact that she was so high up with no control over her body and the second the man was on the ground she got out of his arms and followed after him. "It's a good thing I got used to running from bullies growing up I guess," she thought as she ran close behind the two men. They turned corners to get lost in the alley ways while soldiers still chased after them.
She had been so focused on following the men she didn't notice the guards that had climbed on the roofs. They threw a net and it just missed the two men, but Akiko could see the mesh of the net fall around her. She fell but quickly reached in and grabbed her tanto, she cut the net ad was about to start running again when a guard grabbed her by her hair and flung her back to the ground and restrained her and started to tie her. The two men seemed about ready to start fighting when they guard stood up with Akiko, now fully bound and had his sword held to her. "Drop your weapons and surrender or your partner her will be executed right her right now without second thoughts.
"Sorry," Akiko said to the two men feeling like she's the reason they were now in a tight squeeze. They were surrounded by guards on the ground and a few on the roofs blocking any escape routes the men could have taken. the younger swordsman seemed ready to try to take all the guards down if not for Akiko behind held with a sword to her throat and he was the first to give up. The old man did as well seconds later and they were tied like Akiko and brought back to where the daimyo was now sitting with a large bowl of different fruits some other guards had just brought him.
The three were pushed to their knees and one of the guards and over to the veiled platform and bowed deeply to the daimyo inside. "Mi'lord the two men fighting and a woman who helped them flee the scene have been captured and are here now. One is an older swordsman still very able bodied and the other is a younger swordsman who seems to be adeptly skilled as well. The woman we believe may be a spy as she posses smoke bombs, a tanto, and other small items on her person." the solider explained to him while staying bowed.
"I'm not a spy," Akiko grumbled as she glared down at the ground angry with herself that she was the reason the two men were now captured. The guard holding the rope she was tied with jerked it roughly and ordered her to be quiet. Now they waited for the daimyo's actions.

The girl slowly struggled up to her feet, panting at the amount of energy she had wasted running away from them. She watched around her for any signs of movement from the officers. Who was going to attack first? Even though she had braveness, she also had fear in her eyes. Maybe she was going to die.
