The gaze of the suzaku no seishi immediately turned from one of surprise to hatred, Tasuki's the most obvious sign of it, ChiChiri's the least obvious by contrast, his mask covering up the emotions hidden behind it.
The person that had spoken sauntered up to the bar, placing hands to hips as the destination of the group's table was reached.
"What are you going to do to the seiryu no seishi's 'ass', Tasuki?"
The thied merely growled, reaching for his fan. ChiChiri grabbed his wrist and whispered into his friends ear, "Tasuki...there's too many people in here, no da. Innocents will get hurt if we fight in here, no da."
"Oh yes." the intruder mocked, "Protect the poor drunken innocents."
Nuriko glared, "What do you want, Soi?"
The woman merely chuckled as she flicked her long, dark red hair behind her head. She tugged a bit on the collar of her green clothing, and adjsted her maroon armour as she took her time before answering Nuriko's question.
"I came here for the same thing the rest of you did." she said, her tone dripping of the joviality she held in finding the group, "I just want a nice bottle of sake and a good time."
Tasuki was fuming, a low growl emitting from his throat. It was low enough so that Soi either didn't hear it or just plain didn't care to comment on it. Instead she smirked as she pulled up a chair, sitting on it in a way that allowed her arms to fold over the back of it as she leaned sat next to the group.
"Why are you sitting with us, Soi?" Mitsukake asked, his tone neutral.
"What? Can't a girl reminisce about good times with her friends?" she taunted.
"We are NOT your friends!" Nuriko spat, "And those were NOT good times!"
"Oh?" Soi responded, "Well I may not be your friend but I think you all enjoyed hanging around that little Miaka girl almost as much as Nakago did."
That was the last straw for Tasuki. The redhead roared in anger, leaping at Soi and knocking her off the chair and onto her back, one hand at her throat and another hand with his fan in the air.
Soi responded in kind, grabbing the theif's throat as he grabbed hers, one hand raised into the air as it began to feel thicker than usual, static starting to build.
"Tasuki!" ChiChiri exclaimed, pulling the thief off the woman. He again whispered into his friend's ear, "This isn't the place for it, no da."
Tasuki's anger was more than apparent, his body trembling lightly with rage as he growled at Soi, "You're a lucky bitch you know that?"
"Oh?" Soi chuckled as she rose to her feet, dusting herself off and running her fingers through her hair.
"Yeah" Tasuki growled, "Coz if Tamahome was here...your body'd be collecting dust on the floor."
Soi merely laughed at that, ChiChiri struggling to restrain his friend for fear of the general public getting caught up in a fight. The woman turned to walk out, grabbing a bottle of sake from a man and shoving him to the floor as he began to protest.
The woman then turned to face the suzaku no seishi once more, "Don't worry, Tasuki. This won't be the last time we meet...the next time might be, though.." she then laughed evilly as she walked out the bar, her laughter slowly fading as she walked away.
Tasuki shook ChiChiri off him and plopped angrilly into his chair, the monk walking over to his own seat and sitting down with a sigh.
"Well now we know the seiryu no seishi are still around.." Nakago said.
"And that they have regained their powers." Mitsukake added with a slight frown.
ChiChiri nodded, "This isn't good at all, no da."
Tasuki downed another glass of sake in anger, "That bitch is on her way to report to Nakago I'll bet."
Mitsukake nodded, pushing himself up to a standing position, "Then we should do the same."
Nuriko stood as ChiChiri and Tasuki Followed suit, "He's right...we should tell the Emporer about this."
"Well then let's do it!" Tasuki exclaimed, heading towards the door. He only got a few steps, however, before the sake caught up to him, the thief wobbling then landing face flat on the floor.
ChiChiri sighed as he walked over to his friend to lift him from the floor. Nuriko simply took Tasuki and tossed him onto her shoulder, turning to face the other too, "Like he said..let's do it."
The person that had spoken sauntered up to the bar, placing hands to hips as the destination of the group's table was reached.
