Not even an hour later Kylie was regretting her little outing with Honoka because she had been cornered three times. Count them. One. Two. Three- And her temper was barely hanging by a thread as she pushed aside another delinquent that had just rushed at her.

Honoka let out a loud distressed wail as Kylie did a round house kick and nailed the next guy across the side of the face. Kylie absently placed a hand on the back of Honoka's head and made a crooning sound as one of her earlier KO's staggered to his feet andf yelled, "The baby is her weakness! Aim for it!"

Several of the others murmered in agreement while a few of them automatically noticed the killing intent she was giving off and shook thier heads and backed away, slowly. Not wanting to get caught in a fight with her now that she knew that some of them had no problem threatening the life of an infant just to get at her.

Three of them readied themselves to attack her all at once and Kylie bared her teeth and growled at them as she reversed Honoka's carrier so that the baby was strapped to her back instead of her chest. It may not have been the smartest thing since the infant would be totally defenseless if even one person got behind her.

But Kylie was determined to be a good sibling/parent to her little sister and would not under any circumstances let someone get behind her. Still just to shake the guys up a little bit she decided to give them a very vivid and frightening warning.

"If any of you ever lay a hand on this baby, I will kill you. Slowly and painfully while I rip out your hearts and shove them so far up your ass-" The guys paled a little bit and stared at her wide eyed, completely oblivious to the three men standing a few feet away observing their brawl with great interest.

(***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************)

Sakaki, Akisame and Kensei had all be out walking around, trying to get as much space between themselves and their distraught adopted niece Miu who had been flipping out ever since Kenichi had left.

She'd tried calling him, but the kid wasn't answering her calls and though the masters figured that the boy just needed a little bit of space to get over whatever was bugging him, Miu couldn't help but be concerned due to the fact that it seemed like he was ignoring her.

Miu had finally gotten so upset about the whole mess that she had screamed at them all then promptly burst into tears. Shigure and Apachai had still been trying to calm Miu down when the rest of them had decided to run and see if maybe they could locate Kenichi. Or his house. Or just...something.

Anything at all to help Miu out when they had come up on the girl that they had decided to make their desciple. Once again she had that innocent little baby with her. And again she seemed to be in some trouble.

The fight had been going really well for her until one of the guy's she had knocked out earlier had gotten up and yelled out, "The baby is her weakness! Aim for it!" The fight had then taken a more dangerous turn. And the masters had to say, they were a mite impressed with how she had quickly moved the infant from her front to her back, trying to place herself firmly between the bastards trying to hurt the baby, and effectly making herself a shield.

It was a brilliant move, yet on the other hand it was also foolish. If even one person got behind her, the baby could be seriously hurt, maybe even killed. "I'll say this for the kid, she's got a huge amount of killing intent." Sakaki said in an impressed tone.

"Placing the child at her back out of harms way is fairly smart too." Kensei said as two of the three guys charged her. She grabbed their wrists and crossed her arms, slamming the two together once, twice- Then dropped them and kicked them away.

"To a degree yes. The child is protected from harm as long as she's able to defend without distraction, however-" Akisame said as the baby let out another distressed wail, causing the girl to jerk slightly and take her eyes off of the enemy. "The second it cries she becomes distracted and-" The third guy kicked at Kylie who just barely managed to dodge the blow in time as she jumped back away from him a few feet and rubbed the side of her jaw where his steel toed boot had clipped her.

"I...think it's time we stepped in and helped the little lady out." Sakaki said as he started towards the kids. Kensei fell into step next to him while Akisame hung back with a peculiar look on his face.

Sakaki managed to get within reaching distance of the girl when she seemed to finally sense his presence and lashed out with one foot, nailing him in the stomach. He looked down at her and grinned, not the least bit bothered by her reaction since he had come up behind her. Though his grin felt a little bit strained to him. His stomach felt like it was on fire.

Did she just rupture one of my organs? He wondered as he turned his head a little bit and gave Akisame a look. He saw the man pinch the bridge of his nose as a pained expression crossed his face before he did this sort of hand wave thing as if to say, Yes, yes. I'm aware. I'll fix your sorry ass up later.

"Uh...nice kick. Do you remember me and my friends from before?" Sakaki asked as Kensei took care of the kids that had been fighting with their cute little (drafted against her will) disciple.

Kylie stared up at the giant and gave him a sickly sweet smile before replying. "Of course I remember you. That's why I kicked you."

Sakaki's smile faltered a little bit as Kensei and Akisame both quietly snickered from somewhere behind him as the street fighter rubbed the nape of his neck with one hand and looked slightly uncomfortable before muttering, "Wow, that sort of hurt my feelings..."

"What do you want?" The girl snapped rudely as she re arranged the strap on baby carrier so that the infant was once again nestled against her chest where the girl checked it over for any signs of injury before focusing completely on him again.

"We-uh...just wanted to-" Sakaki struggled to come up with the right thing to say, but it was damn hard to do when this girl sort of scared him. He kept getting the impression that she was going to hurt him badly if he didn't say something soon, and it was causing him to get even more tongue tied. Luckily Akisame decided to take mercy on him and rescued him from what could have possibly been the most horrible experience of his life.

"What our bashful friend is trying to say is that we were watching the fight and got a mite concerned. This is the second time that we've seen you fight with someone, and while that isn't really a bad thing- It is when you have such an obvious handicap. Do you always involve the baby in your fights?"

"Not unless I have no choice." The girl said from between clenched teeth. Obviously irked either by the fight before or by their presence.

"Why wouldn't you have a choice? You could always call a sitter. And what about your parents?"

"They left and the kid and I are alone. I don't have the money to rely on a sitter for every little thing, and frankly you guys are starting to piss me off. So I'm going to end our conversation with a thanks for stepping in, and leave. So thanks for stepping in." She said as she stepped around them and started walking off.

The three masters stood there for a moment to mull over her words before Kensei said, "Well that could have gone better."
