"You will die here, then," answered the cold voice.

"I have a job for you," Katsura told them. After getting their back packs, and being hit on the head by Kiriko for not waiting for her, they came back to be summoned aside by Katsura.
"What is the job?" asked Kiera, cool and collected as ever.
"You are to distract a squad of the Shinsengumi while my agents get away. One of my other agents will accompany you," was the reply.
"Very well. Tell us the time and place and we will be there," said Kiriko. As they discussed the setting, a masked figure watched from the shadows, taking in all the information they had to offer.
Kiena looked around the room, searching the shadows for the presence she felt. The slight movement of a chest rising and falling gave away the spy's position. Kiena nudged Shinta and got up to her feet, startling Katsura. Shinta followed suit, instantly aware of the spy. Moving as if for the exit, they flashed out of sight, appearing on either side of the spy.
The masked fighter was quite surprised that these amateurs could sense him. Looking at the bare swords barring his way a smirk appeared on his face.
"It seems that I have been found out Katsura. These fighters are better than you think," the masked fighter said. Kiriko and Kiera weren't surprised at all, for the twins were a lot more sensitive to other people than they were. But Katsura had an expression on his face so comical, it almost wasn't funny.
"Well, I had better be going," said the masked fighter, slowly getting up as to not alert the twins to attack.
After talking to Katsura, the four had lunch, than went to go practice. Soon after sundown, they reached their destination and waited for their comrades in arms to arrive.
As they waited, the four sat in silence till Kiena broke the quiet.
"We've killed people, and we're going to do it again." That blunt statement brought the entire illusion of peace crashing down. She was right. No one said anything else, for Kiriko had signaled them silent, having heard someone approaching. All of them knew that she had the best senses and instincts of the four and trusted her completely on that front.
Soon their targets and comrades appeared in sight, their comrades running for their dear life. Or, at least, until the four of them stepped in.
"Move out of my way, brats," said one of the squad.
"Why? Who should be so important as to order people around, I wonder?" wandered Kiera out loud.
"I am Saitou, leader of the third squad of the Shinsengumi. Now move out of my way or die!" answered the cold voice.
"You better move out of the way of the Wolf of Mibu!" shouted one of his charges.
"Don't you know that wolves always fight each other, though, I dear say, four against one is pretty unfair," taunted Kiriko. "Maybe you all should back down, you hear?"
"Do you want to meet your creator so badly, then?" replied Saitou.
"I believe you are judging an enemy before the time for judgement has come," said Shinta.
"Then, by all means, let the fight begin."
