[center][i]Baji was completely humbled and stricken with fear from their enemy's aura.  This whole time they were at her mercy and Jiang had prayed that he didn't say anything to provoke any violence towards them or his family.  He slowly approached Yuudai and the enemy in the most passive and nonthreatening stance he could muster.  There was no killer intent in his eyes or his soul.  The Dog bowed down once he got as close as possible without entering her aura.[/i]  [color=royalblue]"I humbly apologize for my words earlier and I beg of you to please spare Yuudai, our group and most importantly, my brothers and sisters.  You are right, we are but minnows in an ocean filled with sharks.  We do not matter, all that we ask is to be allowed to live and complete our task at returning balance to the Shima Clan."[/color]  [i]This was the first time he was filled with fear in a very long time.  He had never begged before, but if it would assure the safety of his family along with his allies then he would beg until his own throat ran dry.[/i][/center]
