Akane ignored the young Kunoichi's words, but they were amusing enough coming from someone so young. A testament to her actual maturity of course. The princess on the other hand was probably going to need that maturity when dealing with a group like this. When the question of her motives came up Akane was delighted to answer. "My princess I do not seek fame, or power. All I want is Adventure and Fortune. I've traveled and fought most of my life always wanting to see and experience more. A journey with you and many impressive women may begin my greatest quest. I may constantly travel and hold no place as my home, but when I agree to a service I treat the deal as if its a job asked of me by my father." 

She hoped that would suffice to ensure the princess she was getting what her father paid for. Akane picked up on some of the worry the princess expressed. Just looking around at the diverse group it wasn't surprising. As the red headed woman stepped up and began to rile up the guards to teach the flirt a lesson, others tried to put an end to this. Of course the use of the massive blade caught Akane's eye.

"The Princess has chosen fools!" Akane said to all those who dared to even think about challenging Noriaki. She walked towards both Kaede and Noriaki with scowl on her face visibly showing her annoyance. "Instead of trying to give her a reason why your unworthy of even respecting her decisions. Why don't you play nice with our flirty friend?"

Akane didn't care about what issue she had with Noriaki. In fact she actually liked the flirt, but this was getting out of hand. When she was hoping things were going to calm down the sound of the gates bursting open and a loud shout turned their attention to the new comer. "Well this is new."
