 Rose was confused but she did as she was told. She counted in her head on her way. Finally she made it to where she was supposed to meet up with the twin.

 xXxXx"Rose, I'm glad to see the twins told you to come here. I'm Jay, the guy with Cristophe earlier," a male voice stated ever so calmly from behind the female as the dirty-blonde haired male made his presence known. Like Cristophe, he had his sunglasses on alongside clothes that weren't exactly prepared for the cold other than a cloak. There was two swords of different lengths at his hip and odd tattoos of intricate designs running up his right arm and over his collarbone. Instead of saying much else, he just lightly grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her along behind him.
xxxxxInstead of saying much else, the teenage boy now known as Jay just lightly grabbed the woman's arm and pulled her along behind him. The way he walked through the area seemed to be more like a brief way of stalling or misdirecting people. If one listened closely, he could be heard humming something softly to himself as he walked so calmly through the dark ashen gray town. After what felt like an eternity, he was leading her up a flight of stairs inside of what appeared to be an old abandoned building. Somewhere from the upper floors came a soft male voice singing the tune Jay was humming. Stopping outside of a door and knocking, he waited for the singing to stop before opening the door and pushing the female inside.
xxxxx"A pleasure to see you again, Rose. Sorry to have to make you make your decision ahead of schedule, but we can't take the risk of giving you a few days of deliberation. Either you're with us or you're against us. Jay and I already have our appointed time to strike set into place and we won't wait for you if we have to get the hell out of dodge nor will we allow Hibiki to risk himself for you. Is this clear?" the boy who'd come to visit Hibiki in the hospital almost seemed to half-purr, half-growl over his shoulder.

Rose looked at him confused, " What do you mean risk himself for me?" She looked at him and then looked at the ground. "I already told Hibiki that I was with you guys all the way. I need you to find away to get the twins to me tonight so we can start training. When are you guys going to strike?" Rose asked softly while looking at the young boy.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXxAt the elder woman's words, Cristophe just gave a slight half-smirk whereas Jay gave a soft snort. This was going to be a hoot. "I see what you meant by what you said," the dirty-blonde haired male snickered lightly while getting a slight nod from the dark haired male. It was apparent by both of their half-smiles that they had some inside joke that the woman didn't know of and they didn't care if she did know it.
xxxxx"Hibiki would more than likely stay behind to get you out with us if shi+ hits the fan. In other words, he'd risk being captured in order to get you out. That's what I mean by he'd risk himself for you. As for the twins, they'll be stopping by your place once they're off-duty which will be tonight. I've already discussed it with them and they understand the risks. As far as the leader and everyone outside of our group knows, they're just going to the head doctor for advice so as to advance in their medical abilities. Medics are always a necessity," Cristophe stated cooly while never twitching in the slightest from where he was sitting. His gaze then shifted briefly at Jay who merely shook his head slightly as if answering some unspoken question. Cristophe then gave the other male a slight nod before crossing his arms over his chest.
xxxxx"When we strike, you'll know it. If things to hell and back, you'll know it and you better be prepared to leave if Hayden comes to get you. We're not wasting time and we're not kids playing some war game with sticks. Jay and I want to be sure that you can defend yourself if we get attacked by raiders if we have to leave. That's why we're here," he answered rather vaguely to her last question while briefly tapping his fingers together in front of him. As if he'd already asked him to, Jay held a sword still in it's sheath out to Rose with a calm expression once more.

Rose took the sword and smirked slightly before wiping all emotion off her face. She thought back to her brother and how they would do this everyday before going out to pillage supplies. Rose looked at Cristophe nodding slightly as her hand slide over the hilt of the blade. Once again she thought back to her brother and with that she cleared her mind of all distractions before waiting for the first move.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXx"I wouldn't smirk like that if I were you," the dirty-blonde haired male stated cooly, his expression as calm as Cristophe's own. Unlike the darker haired male, the lighter haired male shifted his feet slightly while setting his hand on his own sword. Within a few seconds, he'd quickly drawn his sword and held in front of the girl's face. "Make your decisions wisely or you'll end up dead and probably killing us all in the process."
xxxxx"Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the place you rest. White is cold and always yearning, burdened by a royal test. Black the beast descends from shadows. Yellow beauty burns gold. Mirror, tell me something. Tell me, who's the loneliest of all? Fear of what's inside of me. Tell me, can a heart be turned to stone? Mirror, tell me something. Tell me, who's the loneliest of all. Fear of what inside of me. Tell me, can a heart be turned to stone?" Cristophe started humming ever so lightly before sliding off the windowsill and walking calmly over to the female without even touching his sword. As if the two were on the same page, both of their feet's movements opted for a different route of movement, their feet giving a slight bounce at the balls of their feet in sync with each other's feet.
xxxxx"Born with no life into subjugation. Treated like a worthless animal. Stripped of all rights, just a lesser being. Crushed by cruel, ruthless human rule. When it started, all we wanted was a chance to live our lives. Now in darkness, taking anything we want and we will rise. We'll rise... We'll rise... From shadows we'll descend upon the world, take back what you stole. From shadows we'll reclaim our destiny, set our future free. And we'll rise... And we'll rise... Above the darkness and the shame. Above the torture and the pain. Above the ridicule and pain. Above the binding of our fate. Come at me and you'll see that I'm more than meets the eye. You think that you'll break me. You're gonna find in time you're standing too close to a flame that's burning hotter than the sun in the middle of July. Sending out your armies, but you still can't win. Listen up, silly girl, 'cause I'm gonna tell you why. I burn! Can't hold me now. You got nothing that can stop me. I burn! Swing all you want. Like a fever, I will take you down," Jay smirked slightly as Cristophe remained in motion with the bouncing motion yet he still hadn't touched his sword much less showed he was going to strike first. It was then that Jay swung at the woman's head with his sword while still playing the imaginary tune that had come from before the world had become one giant ash cloud. It was just like how Hibiki would go off humming random tunes to some invisible music and yet somehow seemed rebellious against being ruled by a beast that took shape as man.

Rose matched their speed when she ducked rolling to the side. Now she drew the sword waiting for the next attempt to hit her. Standing slightly on the balls of her feet she had a grace about her. As she looked from one to the other she let her face remain emotionless.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXxAs swiftly as the female dodged, Jay was right back on her with his sword swinging and jabbing at her without the slightest bit of hesitation. Unlike Jay, however, Cristophe just seemed to have vanished as soon as Jay obscured the woman's sight of him. The darker male then just seemed to reappear as if from nowhere, his sword still sheathed, with his foot hitting the back of the female's legs and yet his hand catching her by the arm so she didn't hit the floor. "And you're dead. You moved away from the caravan and you were open from all sides; a deadly tactical decision. Bandits won't just be in front of you, but on all sides. You won't always see them, but they're there."
xxxxx"Dodging isn't always the best option and if you move too far from the group, you're as good as dead. We can't protect you when you're moving farther into unknown territory. They already have the upper hand by knowing the land outside of this town better than we do. They've lived there for years. Guard and counter next time," Cristophe stated coldly while setting the girl back on her feet and standing behind her. As Jay swung at her head again, the darker haired male's hands moved her arms up to where the sword blocked the swing and her hand followed through to brace the sword so it wouldn't buckle under pressure. He then tapped her right hip with a couple fingers before moving back into her vision and showing her the motion of a knee being brought up to about Jay's torso level. "Don't depend on the weapon alone. While the enemy gasps for air, strike fast and strike true. It's your life or theirs. Again. Don't make me regret letting him convince me to let you join."

"I know how to fight. It has been awhile." Rose braced herself again this time she wasn't going to hold back and just let her years of training show. Showing her true abilities to defend herself she blocked and followed through with sweeping at the feet with hers, trying to push them back, kicking at them and even the occasional doge. Rose kept her eyes on both of them and let her senses take over when one left her view.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXx"I've yet to see proof of that... Or maybe it's just that whoever taught you was a bad fighter," Jay muttered in response while seeming to stay in one place. Cristophe, however, would come and go from the woman's sight while playing with a handmade yo-yo. Every once in a while, as the girl's arms and feet were directed towards Jay, the yo-yo would tap her on the sides and the back. "And you're as good as dead." It almost seemed like that was Jay's favorite line after quite some of swordplay.
xxxxxAfter what felt like an eternity, Cristophe stepped between the two and grabbed the swords with one hand firmly. "You're not terrible, but you're not absolutely wonderful either. We're not an overly large band of rebels and yet your movements seem to be for a much larger caravan. Shorten your steps and keep your back against something solid or your back will be open," Cristophe admitted before offering a bit of advice to her. He then tapped the other male on the forehead and motioned to the door as he released the two swords and stepped back and around the two figures. "Leo and Jack should be by your home in a few. You should head on back before they get there."

Rose nodded and then let her hair down before heading home. She stopped infront of the hospital. Shrugging as she continued to walk to her house with the wind blowing through her hair. Rose fixed her scarf and coat as she watched people walk quickly to their homes. As she rounded the cornor to her house she seemed that something was wrong. Now running Rose made it to her house to find the door wide open and things trown about her home. The pictures of her family smashed and things broken. Sliding down the wall she started to cry.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXxAfter about twenty minutes of being at her house, a knock came from the door signaling that either Jack, Leo or both of the twins had arrived. "I hope Cristophe wasn't too harsh on her," one of them muttered to the other only to get a snort from the one brushing his fingers through his short, spikey dirty-blonde hair. "I'm far more worried about Jay's treatment of her and what I heard the nurses saying," the other one retorted while shifting his feet a little under him. "You should be happier she wasn't here when it happened. I still don't get how he got involved in a skirmish around here considering he was just getting home when we headed to work... Rose, you there?! It's starting to rain out here!"

Rose wiped her face and then opened the door. "We are going to go to the hospital where there are dummies to work on. On the way I need you guys to explain where your skins are." She pulled her coat closed, her scarf tighter, her gloves on and shut the door behind her. Rose thought about how badly she needed to see Hibiki right now and that is what drove her to hold her composure.

. . : | H I B I K I - I T O U | : . . xXxXxGiving her a slight nod, the twins started after her after having drawn up the hoods of their jackets and shoving their hands in their pockets so as to protect them from the acidic rain. "I'm Jack and I do extremely well under pressure. My skills are in the far more intricate issues meaning internal bleeding, heart attacks, etc," the first one started while glancing briefly at his twin softly humming one of Hibiki's random tunes. As the first drew to a close, however, they seemed to switch which one was speaking and which one was humming. "I don't really handle being put under intense pressure well. I'm Leo and we met in the hospital. I usually deal with broken bones and stitches rather than the far more intricate details," the other one added in a calm manner. "I've been teaching him about the far more intricate designs of muscle tissue, nerves and veins leading into major arteries. We can basically do each other's jobs if necessary, but we're still a little new to dealing with things like brain tumors, heart surgeries and the far more intricate of the far more intricate medical issues." "We don't really like the idea of having a repeat of the heart surgeon fainting and causing Jack and me to have to try keeping a patient alive via manual heartbeats while discussing with other nurses how the surgery was supposed to go before the heart surgeon lost consciousness. Try explaining to a family why their loved one was declared deceased because a new doctor was manually beating their heart as the other new doctor was trying to complete the surgery before we lost the patient. Jack and I got blamed for the heart surgeon's flub up..."

Rose looked at the for a moment in shock and then continued to the hospital. "So in other words you both can do what ever you need to when asked?" She asked. If they could handle that then they really didn't need to learn much. All she can do is teach them the high levels of what they already know and to do that they would have to study her two books. As they rounded the corner to the hospital Rose looked at the traffic. The hospital seemed pretty quiet for a night shift but she kept walking until they were safe in Hibiki's room. "We....we are back." She said chocking back her tears.
