Sessamaru's eyes widened in surprise as Naoto leaped forward, rage and anxiety in his voice. The white haired swordsman kicked away as the man got close, a last second reflex caused by the danger of Naoto's flaming fist. Landing and sliding backwards, the swordsman returned to his iaijutsu stance, this time causing a whirlwind to surround him in a protective barrier. "Calm yourself!" Sess pleaded, his eyes gentle and calm. "I'm not trying to hurt anyone!" Despite this, Sess continued to formulate a plan to end the fighting; however, Naoto's involvement made it difficult to focus.
