AN: Sorry this has taken so long. It got a little stuck. And thank you anonymous reviewer.
It was around mid afternoon when they were ambushed. Almost a dozen Fu-Ma ninjas jumped out of hiding, knifes ready. Their leader was a tall man with brown eyes, the rest of his features hidden behind his mask.
"You seek Nightmare." The man stated aggressively.
"What business is it of yours?" Talim shot back. Tira raised an eyebrow at this unexpected aggressiveness from the quiet priestess. So she does have some fire in her after all she thought to herself. Good, she'll need it.
"We of the Fu-Ma ninja clan are sworn to protect the wielder of Soul Edge. Turn back or you will be begging for death before the end." Said their leader. But as he said that, one of the ninjas pulled out a throwing knife and threw it at Talim. Tira's ring blade spun in front of it and deflected it.
"Looks to me like you intend for us to die anyway" She said with a grin, her eyes alight with the fires of battle and with that she threw herself into battle, followed by Talim.
Talim felt a stab of regret about having to fight and kill. True, the Fu-Ma ninjas had attacked them and not the other way round, but still. To her right Tira cut down Fu-Ma ninja after Fu-Ma ninja with a savage kind of beauty. Talim was no slouch though and she to wielded her elbow blades too deadly effect.
As Tira and Talim finished off the Fu-Ma ninjas, a tall, dark-skinned man standing on the roof of a nearby building smiled to himself. "Those two show promise. Far more than all the others I've seen. I should keep following them." He murmured to himself.
Tira turned to face Talim. Seeing her companion covered in blood, she felt a sudden urge to lick her clean. She shook herself. Tira knew about her own preferences, but with Talim of all people. Now THAT was unlikely. No it's just a reaction to the absence of available women, she thought to herself. The day I fall for Talim is the day hell freezes over.
AN: Yes I know this chapters short but I can't make it any longer.
