There were dead recruits all over the place. Young men gunned down while they least expected it. They weren't experienced enough to deal with a damn Yato...

Kokone Murasaki, 2nd Squad's leader had survived the slaughter by taking cover, but quickly took her place beside Humaru as Kenji and Yoshi arrived too. Four on one might be enough, but.. against a Yato? Chances were slim that they could survive, let alone 'win'...

Arashi turned around to face Humaru, Kokone, Yoshi and Kenji giving them that same innocent smile she'd been giving them up to now. "Terrorist~?" She teased, no doubt she was sick enough to enjoy hosing down the helpless Shinsengumi recruits. Poor guys didn't even see it coming... "I'm no terrorist..." Arashi's eyes finally opened, and she gave them all one last look at her delighted self, before her eyes narrowed - a sharp red glint was visible in them before she lunged at them ridiculously quickly.

"I'm a destroyer!" She growled at them, aiming to sweep the three young men and the female Shinsengumi officer off the ground with a powerful stroke of the umbrella. This girl was inhuman... Any human that could stand against her should be considered a monster themself. As the umbrella was swept at the four, Kokone was swept up and thrown back into the wall surrounding the Shinsengumi HQ.

"Sh.. She's got a bomb..! Don't let her.." Kokone struggled to breathe as she spoke. It wasn't as bad as it could've been, but for now the young Shinsengumi had the wind knocked out of her.

As Cronic set off a smoke grenade, Shiroko threw a kunai into a rooftop across the street, then ran off to that rooftop on what looked to be thin air (really a very thin, but strong wire). Didn't look like she wanted a serious fight after all.

"Kei, did you get to Kabuki District's harbour yet? I'll be there in a moment, need to lose a pest first..." The Lady Ninja said quietly. But if Cronic's hearing was enhanced at all, that may be a problem. One phone call to the Shinsengumi or regular police and everything would be botched... "And Arashi - the Shinsengumi HQ isn't in flames yet. I expect to see that changed before we leave Edo..."
