Chou was waiting in the North End right on time but his Boss didn't seem to be around. "Humph" Chou muttered. "He tells me to be on time and then he can't be on time himself" Suddenly two men dressed in scarlet uniforms ran over to him and attacked. They both carried Katanas and attacked head on. Chou wasn't called Sword Hunter Chou for nothing and quickly drew his sword and blocked the first mans sword before whirling around and with no hesitation attacked the second. Mercilessly attacking the second was totally caught off guard at the quick and deadly sword dance. Blocking was the only thing he could do. Chou flipped the covering off the two swords that he held and popped off the half of the wooden handle and clicking the two blades together forming the Renbatou. Again he relentlessly attacked. No opening could be found in his perfect sword dance. Chou gave that speech that would doom an ordinary swordsman. "One of Shakkuu's early works, the Renbatou. You'll get two equal wounds at the same time, and you won't be able to stitch them up. In other words, even if I miss a vital spot and don't kill you right away, you'll die of wounds you won't be able to treat. I'll give you your death!" The man screamed as he ran toward a large stone archway. Chou gave chase. Suddenly another blade sliced through the air. Whirling Chou raised his sword and trapped the blade between the Renbatou's Blades. The second assailant though hidden in the shadows slid back and drew his Wakizashi and attacked. Chou was amazed that the attacker could still fight even with his Katana trapped by the Renbatou. Chou slid the Renbatou down and twisted up shattering the Katana. Flipping backwards Chou landed and raised his sword. Saitou slipped out of the shadows holding the handle of his sword. The slivered steel rained down like pins around him as the twisted, shattered blade clattered to the ground. Wind from nowhere flooded past the swordsmen. Steel slivers blew in the wind like leaves. A whirling came from behind Chou. Turning he saw a sword flipping through the air. Stepping aside the blade flew past. Saitou raised his arm and caught the blade by the handle. Sheathing it he nodded to Chou signaling him to sheath his own swords. Walking to where the fight had started he popped the Renbatou in half and put the handle halves back together and re-wrapped the handle. Throwing the scabbards in the air he jumped up and caught the tip of his swords in the scabbards and slammed them together and landed gently. "If your quite done showing off I need to talk to you." Saitou yelled out. "Mind explaining why you attacked our men?" "Well they attacked me and how the HELL was I supposed to know who our men were?" Chou answered quite angry at Saitou's accusation.
