Chapter 24

'i said it was time to pay up.' came the same voice.

All of them looked up and there was a group of about six men. All of them wore a mask and all had weapons. Five of them had brown hair and wore dark brown and black clothes while the one who spoke had red hair and wore red clothes as well as brown. Yunie and Kisho looked at one another and sighed while May-lu grabbed both Kisa and her child.

'i will get it for you.' she muttered.

'wait a minute.' Kisho said. 'what is going on?'

'you must be new here.' he growled. 'well we are in charge of this place and we collect fees every week.' he smirked. 'the emperor gave us permission.'

'if he did he would of had a officer here and all his soliders would of known about it.' Kisho muttered starring at him.

The red head looked at him and snarled. 'so you must be a officer of his i guess.'

'yeah.' Kisho said. 'so you have been lieing to the village. Well that will result in death you know. I have permisson to anyone would lies in the name of the emperor and other stuff.'

'you lie.' he snarled.

'sorry.' Kisho said. 'i don't lie.'

'whatever.' he yelled. 'this my village now.'

'don't count on it.' Kisho said.

'okay.' Yunie sighed. 'you boys finished with that talk. Look pal you get out or we'll make you leave.'

The men laughed. 'what makes you think a little kitty like you can stop us?'

'she did say we'll.' Kisho muttered starring at them. 'so she means both of us.'

They laughed again. 'you're both are unarmed.

'You two.' came Kisa's voice.

Yunie and Kisho looked up and Kisa threw them their swords. Kisho grabbed them both and passed Yunie's her. They both launched themselves at the men and the red head fell to the floor. Blood splatted out and Yunie and Kisho turned their heads. Their faces was slightly covered in blood. They both turned and rose their swords at the men. The men backed away.

'well that was fun.' smiled Yunie.

'you think that was fun?' Kisho muttered.

'yep.' she giggled.

'oh bloody hell.' Kisho sighed. He turned to the men. 'look if you don't get out of here or we'll kick your butt.'

The men began to back away. 'now this is interesting.' came a low voice.

The men turned around and Yunie and Kisho looked up. A man in a long red robe with a emerald green cloak. He had black hair and he looked at them. Yunie walked over to Kisho as the man walked up.

'so you incharge of this sorry excuss of a group.' Yunie sighed. 'am disappointed.'

'umm...a neko cat.' he muttered. 'look pay up or you will lose something.'

'make us.' Yunie yelled.

'Yunie.' Kisho muttered. 'don't say that they will do something. Something about theives, if they cant get what they want they will get it one way or another.'

'they dont scare me.' growled Yunie.

'don't get so hot headed.' Kisho sighed.

'i am not hot headed.' Yunie yelled at him.

'look all we need is a plan.' he muttered.

'you two done talking.' said the man with black hair.

'no we havent old man.' yelled Yunie.

'well am bored of waiting.' he growled.

'that's it.' Yunie yelled. 'if you want a fight you get one.'

'Yunie no,' Kisho said.

Yunie charged at the black hair man with her sword ready. The other men charged at her. As Yunie ran she frozen in mid run. Kisho ran up with his sword and attacked the men. They all fell down and Kisho ran to Yunie's side.

'what you do to her?' yelled Kisho to the man.

'i only frozen her.' he sighed. Yunie disappeared and reappeared at the man's side and he held her in his arms. 'look you either pay the money and we continue what we do or she dies.'

'let me go pervert.' yelled Yunie struggling to get free.

'shut up kitty.' he growled. 'you will do what i say. You like it or not.'

'let her go old man.' Kisho said rising his sword.

'sorry we have to go.' he said. 'if you want her you can find us at the cave in the forest. You better bring the money or she dies.'

He disappeared in thin air as well as the other men even the red head one. May-lu walked out the house and ran to Kisho's side. She placed her arms around him and held him close. Kisa and the little girl walked out the house holding hands and looked up at Kisho. Yunie's sword laid by Kisho feet. Just then Master Tai walked out the house yawning. Everyone looked up at him.

'morning. When is breakfast?' he yawned.

'what?' yelled Kisho. 'you have been in bed this whole time?'

'yeah why?' he asked confused.

'Yunie has been kidnapped you idiot.' Kisho yelled.

'oh my that is a problem.' Master Tai said calmly.

'how can you be so god dam calm?'

'ah young Kisho.' smiled Master Tai. '...'

'well...' Kisho muttered.

'i have no clue.' he smiled.

'of for fuck sake.' Kisho snapped. 'i thought you was going to say something interesting or wise you stupid old man.'

'ah Kisho.'

'will you stop that.' Kisho moaned. 'your so creepily calm.'

'lets go and get her.' Master Tai smiled.

'yeah but...' Kisho began.

'no buts and lets go.' he smiled walking off to get his horse.

'Tai your a idiot.' Kisho yelled chasing after him.
