Shiryō tilted his head. "Out of their hair, maybe... but I've never felt... right, even in their home village; perhaps they have seals that may make travel here easier. I know that they have metal that can be useful economically," he said with a slight shrug. "Besides, I'm bored here... it's interesting to fight here, certainly, but... it feels wrong, as if I don't belong," he said wryly.

She murmured throwing his own words from so long ago straight back at him. She quickly stood, almost fell over, and regained her balance. Absorbing the energy from the wards to take them down and taking energy from the planets outside as walked out of the cave. "Come men, we're leaving. We need to report back to the king. We have investigated the light in the heavens and completed our mission." she said formally as she tried to push away her emotions and broken heart. In a fruitless effort she paused longer than necessary, waiting to see if Shiryo would come after them. It helped that the soldiers dragged their feet as well.

☼☳Shiryō Kazama☳☼
Shiryō exhaled before he shifted, striding after them quickly. His eyes widened as he saw a flash of dull silver before Regai darted out of the pouring rain that had started, decapitating one guard and gutting a second on his first pass before he vanished into the mist kicked up by the rain. "Bakayarō," he cursed as he drew the katana quickly, deflecting Regai's return pass aimed at his chest upward so it narrowly missed his head as he darted forward. The large rogue swordsman laughed as he shifted the blade and slashed downward at Shiryō's head, only to have the slash blocked again. His eyes narrowed, a bluish spark of energy growing in his pupils before growing swiftly to encompass his irises. he said wryly.

→Ｓ ｕ ｓ ａ ｎx ♠ xＮ ｅ ｌ ｓ ｏ ｎx｡▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄x▄▄x▄ Susan watched as one of her man got decapitated and her ice-blue eyes flashed dangerously. She quickly drew her bow and notched three arrows. She took aim and released. One arrow went straight through one of the rough swordsman's eyes, the other through his neck and the final through his temple. "No one touches my men in an unfair battle." she growled at the dead body before turning to the soldier that had fallen. She gently took his head from where it had fallen and placed it where it should have attached. She recognized the soldier as one that she had sparred with on occasion. He had been an exceptional fighter. She stood with her head hanging and let the rain soak her. "I'm sorry for your unnecessary death." she said softly before promptly incinerating the body, giving him a proper soldier burial. She then went to the soldier who had a stomach wound. "All of you front and center. I can heal him." she said as she started gathering the energy from the ten guards left. She quickly stopped the bleeding, mended the organs, tissue, and muscle back together, finally after knitting the skin back together she sagged. The soldiers around her were weary but not overly so as she hadn't need too much energy from them she had been able to use most of hers and the energy of plants and small animals which explained the dead patch around her. The wounded soldier slowly opened his eyes and Susan smiled. She placed a kiss on his brow. "Welcome back soldier."

☼☳Shiryō Kazama☳☼
Shiryō cocked his head as the rogue's body twitched a couple of times as he sheathed his katana. His gaze shifted before his eyes widened as a leaner man darted out of the shadows, a pair of katanas in hand. Shiryō deflected the katanas from Susan's shoulders as he pushed off, blocking the slashes with his katana as he unsheathed it before twisting, kicking the new rogue in the head before he pointed the katana straight at the man, who smirked. "Try this on for size... Mugetsu," he spat as a narrow crescent of silvery energy shot from the tip of his blade as he swept it upward and to his right. The rogue smirked, thinking the crescent would fade as he held the twin katana at an angle. His eyes widened as the crescent faded before Shiryō sheathed the katana, turning away. A soft scraping followed as the blades of both katanas slid off, severed in half before sprays of blood followed not only from the rogue's upper arms but also his chest and throat.

She smiled reassuringly at him as he leaned his weight on her. Another soldier came up to help but Susan shook her head.She was his commanding officer so she would carry him. As they passed by the body of the rouge swordsman she paused to spit on his body before continuing on the way back to the cave and out of the rain.

Shiryō sighed as he walked into the cavern again. "Maybe it's wise to wait to teleport out until after the rain stops," he said wryly.

→Ｓ ｕ ｓ ａ ｎx ♠ xＮ ｅ ｌ ｓ ｏ ｎx｡▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄xx▄▄▄x▄▄x▄ Susan sighed as she gently helped Drake to sit against the wall of the cavern. She ignored Shiryo's comment for the moment as she was about to tear a scrap of her trousers to start a fire before one of the soldiers stopped her and handed her a scrap of his tunic. She smiled and with a simple flick of her finger turned it into a decent sized pile of wood and with a single tap they burst into flames. She smiled and continued to build up the fire before they had a fire that warmed to entire cavern. She then turned and went back to Drake where she started to wipe the blood and sweat from his body. "Alright you lazy lot. The wards are up, you don't need your armor so put it in a pile over there" she instructed and pointed to the back of the cavern as she helped Drake out of said armor. "and get your bedrolls out. Looks like we will be stuck here for a while. This storm isn't letting up anytime soon." She said as she took her own armor off and placed it with the others. She took her bedroll and spread it out close to the fire. Once she had her bedroll the soldiers arranged theirs so they could be evenly spaced out and protect her. They were so quick to obey her commands. She made sure that Drake and Jacob would be close to her. She rolled her eyes. Those soldiers really did believe she was a goddess of some sort to protect them.

☼☳Shiryō Kazama☳☼
Shiryō grunted as a hard swat from Naru to the back of his head made him stumble. He heard rather than felt the cracking thump of his head striking the wall of the cavern. "That's for knocking me out, baka!! You know I hate when you do that," Naru said with exasperated annoyance before she blinked, seeing Shiryō fall half conscious to the floor with blood streaming down his forehead from the cut near his hairline.

She looked up and watched as he crumpled to the floor. She sighed and moved to Shiryo. She gently placed his head in her lap. "Everyone be quiet. I need to concentrate else the internal swelling will liquefy his brain." she said before bending over and placing her hands on his temples. She closed her eyes and focused solely on her task. Slowly but surely the blood stopped, the swelling went down and soon his eyes were flicking open. She smiled down at him. "Why do you always insist on hitting your head?" she murmured, quiet enough that she wasn't even certain he had heard her. "Enjoy your nap?" she said louder and lightly pinched his cheek before making him sit up so she could move back to her previous position of taking care of her men. [

☼☳Shiryō Kazama☳☼
Shiryō sighed as his eyes opened, his head aching though it wasn't as bad as he expected. "Maybe I should have brought my helmet... though as I recall, it shattered when I was dragged here," he said quietly. He recalled that there had been a heavily bandaged man with one visible eye when he'd awoken from the blinding flare of light that had kept the massive scimitar from the demonic summon shearing him in two. His eyes narrowed fractionally as his hand rose to the scar that went from the outer corner of his left eye to his hairline, the only sign of what had happened that day. "Hey, hitting my head on things has gotten us out of trouble a few times, if you remember, Susan," he said wryly. He blinked when he spoke, somewhat surprised. Seems that that blow to the head allowed me to remember some things from before that Jikūkan kicked in, he thought.

She had only said it once and he hadn't been listening, and the mention of the times he hit his head that saved them. "How much do you remember?" she asked. If his memory stopped where she thought it stopped his memory would be useless because he wouldn't remember their relationship at all.

Shiryō tilted his head thoughtfully as he sat up, rubbing his chin with his fingertips. "Bits and pieces, but I remember honeyed cakes with mint tea under moonlight... among other things," he said with a slight shrug. He shifted his wrist to reveal an odd marking that glowed faintly as he pressed his katana to it before the air rippled as the weapon was absorbed into the mark; unlike most seals of its type, this particular one had few limits in what it could store.

Shiryō cocked an eyebrow. "Which one, the one when we had the picnic then you got a massage, or the one when we confessed?" he said mildly with a faint smile.
