As the two entered the hall at the top of the fortress, there were five men. Four men in red armor with demon masks, and one in thick black robes wielding some kind of decorative staff. His face was hidden underneath the long hood, but there was a kind of dangerous aura surrounding him. Kaori slowed down and began to walk as she and Yomi approached them. The four demonic-looking soldiers carefully drew one large sword each, Nodachi. The blades were red steel, like they were made out of a material from the bowels of hell itself. Each of them prepared themselves in a defensive stance, while the obvious leader stood aside to reveal a woman in a cage. "...Hm, I didn't think you would get this far." The robed figure said calmly, "No one has ever fought the Yamibito and lived to tell the tale. Both of you should back down and let us take the Shogun's mistress to Emperor Meiji. It is... for the best." [I]...Wait, that lady in the cage is naked! Why did they have to strip her down like that?![/I] Kaori raised her eyebrows and looked at Yomi as if to ask, 'What now, glorious leader?'
