"Well, we could cut our way through without stopping, even if we get shredded to fuck." Kaori suggested sarcastically, although she did eye the mobile fortress. Or rather.. she eyed the path she might end up cutting through. The enemies standing in that path all looked at each other, looked behind them at their overly-secure prison, and then looked back at Kaori's eyes. If she was serious... They could take her, right? But how many people would die before that happened!? "...Screw the odds, let's do-"

"RAAAAAAAAAHH!!" The mighty roar of soldiers filled the air, and the many trampling hooves of horses. Before Kaori could even look to see the charge, a group of cavalrymen had overtaken the two young Samurai as they began tearing deep through the enemy. In their focus on Yomi and his companion, the entire force of bandits had been blindsided and driven back into a defensive formation around the fortress.

"Milady~! I came to rescue you!" Akira Seigi chanted as he rode up alongside her and Yomi. "Oh, and you. Thank you for keeping her safe, you have my gratitude!" He said in a more serious fashion, as if to show he were the better man here. Kaori leaned upwards using the horse as support and motioned with her finger for Akira to come closer. A kiss?! Leaving no time for debate he leaned down to Kaori, and was subsequently [I]pulled the fuck off of his horse[/I] by the ear.

"Thanks for the backup, Akira. But I'm not marrying you... Remember? I kicked your ass once and I'll do it again if it'll help you remember the deal. I win - you keep your distance!" Kaori said in a cold manner at first, but it grew into a delightful tone later. And then she threw a whining Akira face-first into the dirt, again, by the ear. "Yomi, this is our opening!" She exclaimed before running off towards the fortress, cutting down any of the dazed and confused bandits that got in her way.

Akira looked up at Yomi from the ground, "...What are you doing right that I'm not...?"
