[center][i]Jiang was not used to such disarray in a group.  He simply motioned his hand over his head when Yuudai spoked as she seemed to miss the entire point of his request.  Her attitude became infectious and Gin quickly followed up with her and now their guide would be left alone to fend for himself if anything happened.  [color=royalblue]"He's the only one that needs protection..."[/color] Baji thought to himself as he sulkily walked over to Takumi to provide him with the assurance that he would be protected no matter what went down.  Baji wasn't as strong or durable as Gin so if a surprise attack occurred or he was caught off guard then Jiang would fall to the first blade that pierced his flesh.  He wasn't mad, it was good to know early on that he couldn't entrust the important tasks to others.  He really wanted their strongest member to protect the weakest and most needed as they all moved together, but today Takumi had the dog at his side and that's who he would have to depend on from this moment on.  Standing next to Takumi he sighed and spoke low enough for them to hear or anyone with a strong sense of hearing.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"I'm sorry, I wanted him to watch your back but I don't think that they trust me.  No matter what though, if they are the enemy then I will fall before you do, this I swear.  I will not let any harm come to you while I live."[/color][i]  Jiang then spoke up to the two half-Onis.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"Well, go ahead, lead us onward."[/color][/center]
