Slowly, Setsuka walked down the path, parasol in hand, blade hidden in most precious silk.
She was waiting. He'd be here soon. But up the path she saw a figure. Setsuka smiled. It was exactly what she had been waiting for. Mitsurugi Heishiro. He was just as brutal looking as ever. He carried his katana like a madman, smiling. Setsuka stopped and looked over at him. She closed her parasol, bringing it to her waist. It was time for vengeance. She slipped her sword from the handle of the parasol silently, and quickly. My blade cannot be seen, she thought. My strikes are but flashes in my enemy's eyes... As he drew closer, she was ready. He sliced at her.
"Trying to finish up that easily! You'll wish!"
"Please! You've not even a weapon!" he smirked. It was then that, to catch him off gaurd, she threw her parasol at his face. He was not fazed. She drew the blade and came at him with a vengeance. He grew wide-eyed for a second, but he guarded. Sparks flew as they crossed swords, angry, tense, agitated...
"It'll... be... over from... here... I'll end it!" He looked at her, just as angry as ever. "He was a worthless man. He was horribly stupid to challenge me!" Setsuka grew angrier by the second. "You... dare..! I'll cut you down!" She began to come at him harder than ever, and broke free. She was at an advantage and about to deliver the finishing blow when a blur, a red blur, seeming like a shadow, grabbed her by the throat. "I'll take it from here!" It was the same ninja-woman who, over six months ago, she had injured for trying to make her stop seeking Soul Edge! "It's my... duty!" Setsuka yelled. The woman was as calm as ever. "No, demon! I must kill this man! He has to hand over that evil shard that is in his posession!" As she pulled out a small sword and began to slice and kick carelessly. Setsuka thought she would be able to take care of ther quickly, and looked to her side. Something was missing. Mitsurugi had run!
"Dammit!"
