"Shit... Ripper, it's time to go! The prey can wait." Romario grumbled, the Storm Sabertooth obeying it's masters command and dashing back up the steps toward the Shrine. It was definitely hurt, and it's master wouldnt be able to finish the battle now that he was outnumbered. The oversized tiger dived into it's box before Romario legged it off into the thick forest behind him.

Ami finally let go of Hinata just as the rain began to cease, and sunlight began to break through the clouds. She span her spatha-wielding pal around and checked him for injuries, despite him not having really fought at all. Damn it, 'Nata was precious! The only other person she cared as much about was Dad, wherever he was at this point. The little mafia boss then turned her attention to the newcomer and his.. chainsword? "Okay, the bad man and his pet are gone, and another scary person is here now..." she commented, gulping and watching for any other out-of-the-ordinary fellows around. It looked like they were in the clear! "Aren't we supposed to be going somewhere safe now?"

Hibari's shorter opponent evaded a spinning kick by rolling out of the way at the last moment. He was fast, sure, but it's not like he could helicopter himself directly into his opponent, ...despite what the stories said about Hibaris. As soon as Koichi landed he began another attack, swiping his tonfa downwards to successfully smack Angelica on the head.

"Ouch," she neutrally commented on the powerful attack. Anyone [I]normal[/I] would be knocked out after that strike, or having this kid's size and weak frame, maybe dead! "I hope that's not all you've got, Hibari..." the girl giggled before backflipping quite a ways away from her opponent. Her gaze found Kaji then, as she hoped to stoke Koichi's irritation by ignoring him. The purple lashes from her whip extended and multiplied yet again as she swung it - this time aiming to hit the onlooker.
