Kimae frustrated that he couldn't kill someone today walked off with the jewel in his hands. He picked up his musket which was empty and marched out of view.

Hisamu appeared next to the two girls and sighed, "Oh go easy on her. I told you that I was going to alert the guards while I was there. Remember her little survival test that she has to go through, this was part of it, because not every job is going to go according to plan, and she needs to know what to do if she screws something up all on her own"

Miyako smirked slyly up at Kimae,"Good choice."She responded. Gazing at Mallory she stuck her hand out expectantly,"The jewel Mallory if you would please." As Mallory reluctantly handed over the jewel she then thurst it into Kimae's hands,"Take it, we're quite done with you now."She spoke dryly.Raising a hand she grabbed Mallory's shoulders tightly beginning to steer her away,"Follow us and you will be killed instantly, this situation has been dealt with, no deaths needed." Shaking her head somewhat she tightened her grip on Mallory's shoulders digging her finger nails into the girls skin,"You!."She began,"Messed up,that was your last chance." With narrowed eyes she dragged mallory along the street.

Reaching their hide out she entered gazing around quietly,"How can you stuff up your last chance.."

Kimae growled and then he tucked the weapon behind his back, "Fine, but if I see either of you around here again I'll tear you to shreds." He said aggrivated with his hands up to show he was now unarmed.

Miyako pushed Mallory firmly behind her,"Well how about we settle on this,you get your jewel back,and then turn,walking away,debt settled."

Kimae grinned an almost hellish grin when Miyako tried to ask him to let go of Mallory, "I never quit a job once I start. And my job now is to either kill the thief, or to retrieve the item stolen. I just perfer the former choice." He said to Miyako looking more like a devil than most demons in painting could compair, "So I'm going to do what I enjoy, I'm going to take the stolen item back, and then I'm going to get my pay." He said in a cold tone that could chill anyone to the bone.

Mallory squealed as the chain caught her leg.Falling to the ground she landed hard on the ground.Wincing in pain she closed her eyes,"Nothing wrong with confidence."She muttered.Managing to stand up she winced,"Damn my leg."She exclaimed.Limping she grabbed her knives while Miyako landed at her side,"Thats hardly a fair fight,she's injured." She observed.Pointing her sword her eyes narrrowed,"Why don't you let the child go."

When Kimae saw that Mallory had jumped off he threw the weighted chain which then caught up to her before she could go too far. The chain wrapped around her left leg, in an instant reaction Kimae pulled down on the chain pulling Mallory down to the ground with a heavy thud, "And you forget about range on weapons." He said to her wrapping the chain around his forearm againas he approached her and had his blade ready.

Mallory gazed around,great Hisamu was gone.Growling softly she landed on the ground beside Miyako.Miyako set her blue eyes onto Kimae a small frown on her face,"Two targets,indeed what have I done?"She asked coyly.Clutching her sword idly in her hand she began to venture across the street signalling Mallory to follow,"Wicked,impossible child,when we have dealt with this you will be in trouble." Shaking her head somewhat she snickered at Kimae's words,"You wont be any richer then from what you started with today,Where not worth anything,there is no bountry on us." Laughing coldly she jumped onto a roof while the man ran at them.Gazing up she saw Mallory grinning down at the man slyly,"Your a fast runner,but I'm faster." Mallory sneered.

Hisamu was no where in sight as of this moment. He was getting out of the situation because it was Mallory's fight to do and she's better fight well. Considering that she's got an ex-assassin after her.

Kimae growled pulling the iron ball back catching the massive weight in his hand, "Looks like I'm in luck. Two targets in one day." He said then he wrapped the chain around his fore arm as an improvized armor around his opposite arm that he held his blade with, "I'm going to be filthy rich by the time I'm done with you two." He said holding his kama blade back handed as he ran at the two girlskeeping the armored arm up to shield his face against kunai.

Miyako.

Mallory pulled a face then smirked,"Yeah,I've heard it...quite a few times from you Hisamu and Miyako."She grumbled.As the musket fired whizzing past her head she groaned,"Damnit,should have knocked the little brat out." Shaking her head she glanced at the groumd.,"My beautiful hair...."She sighed.Shaking her head she glared down at the man,"Prey,i told you how the game worked,I'm the cat your the mouse."She responded coldly.Still jumping along the building she paused stealing a look down at Kimae,"Mallory the shade,pleasant to meet you,shall be all the more pleasurable when you cease chasing me but alas,I'll wait it out,don't let it be to much of a blow to your ego when you return home cold and wet,quite a storm we are expecting tonight."

Snickering her gaze drew across the street to where a woman stood frantically waving at them,"Miyako.."She spoke happily.Jumping onto the ground perfectly she then began to skip her face full of mischief,"Guess we're going to play a game afterall then.."

Hisamu grinned and then slipped his finger under his mask to reveal his handsom face though there was a battle scar accross his right cheek going through his lips, "Have you ever heard of the phrase, 'better safe than sorry'. Watch your back." He said then a musket shot went off wizzing right past Mallory's head, "Speak of the devil. He's here." He said seeing a lock of hair fall off Mallory.

Kimae growled tossing the musket to the ground then pulling out a consealed weapon, a kusurigama. The weight at the end of the chain was massive almost as if it looked like a 20 pound iron ball, "I never let my prey escape. From what I've heard, you've been nicknamed Mallory the shade. But I'm sure you have more." He said twirling the heavy ball on the end like it was nothing, "And I'm sure that you've heard of Kimae the slaughter." He said then swung the massive ball end which traveled in an arch that quickly approached the two on the other end of the chain.

Mallory raised her head to smirk up at Hisamu,"Just a small problem,nothing I can't handle."She replied cockily.Grinning she listened to him still keeping her confident manner,"He wouldn't be the first to come after me,nor shall he be the last."
