Edge of the mountains at Konan's border. Enter Nuriko, Tasuki and Bandits.
Nuriko: What's country is over there?
Tasuki: That's Konan.
Nuriko: Oh great! My sister is... lost... and I bet she's been butchered by Seiryuu seishi! Or maybe she hasn't. What do you think, Tasuki?
Tasuki: Well, before we kidnapped ya, I saw ya sister running in that direction after the bitch kneed Kouji. She probably is there now.
Nuriko: (aside) Go Kourin! (to Tasuki) I sure hope so. (glares at Tasuki) Do you know your way around her?
Tasuki: Yeah, I've raided here often enough.
Nuriko: Great, take me to their leader!
Tasuki: Well, there's Hotohori, the emperor here.
Nuriko: I've heard of him, he's supposed to be sexy. ^_^ Is he single?
Tasuki: (rolls eyes) Here we go again... Yeah, he's single but he's obsessed with the Suzaku no Miko, Miaka-sama. She's sulking at the moment so he's kinda pissed off about it.
Nuriko: Oh, that's sad! A tragic love story! Maybe I can help them get together! Okay, here's the plan! I'll disguise myself as a dirl and act as a messenger for them!
Tasuki: A girl? Why the hell would you want to dress as a f***** girl?! You could still do that as a guy!
Nuriko: But then I can forever remember my dead sister!
Tasuki: Uh huh. Yeah. Right. Well, because I love ya, man, I'll ignore that statement. Don't worry, I won't squeal on ya.
Nuriko: You'd better not!
